Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: The End of the Game is the Starting Point of Time

Provoked by his contemptuous attitude, the seven people sped up and charged toward Xu Huo and his companion, but before they could breach the twenty-meter radius around him, three players were skewered in mid-air—literally skewered. In a place that had been empty, blades were set up, invisible and colorless, only becoming noticeable when they were stained red as they passed through the bodies of the players.

Among them, three individuals including Gong Jiaji were impaled with seven or eight through-and-through holes, dying instantly. Another three got lucky with their defense props saving their lives, sustaining injuries to their limbs that stopped their charge, while the tall one realized something was wrong as he got closer and promptly cut his losses.

Xu Huo still sat there, flicking his finger in the air, and the three corpses were thrown into the Different Species Group. The sounds of the creatures fighting and tearing apart their new prey drifted up from below. He watched the remaining people with an icy gaze, "Do you see? As long as I’m still breathing, killing you is still very easy."

The tall one had realized, "You got that spatial artifact from Mr. Kang."

And he had also learned how to use it in such a short time.

Xu Huo neither admitted nor denied, but gestured with a wave of his hand for them to make way, "Otherwise, I’ll have to force my way through."

The tall one sneered repeatedly, but under Xu Huo’s gaze, his expression gradually stiffened and half a step back was taken after two seconds.

With the leader chickening out, the others retreated even further.

"Let’s go." Xu Huo patted Zhou Yuanzhu’s arm lightly.

Zhou Yuanzhu, tense and on guard, manoeuvered the flying device past the tall one, and only after getting a good distance away did he heave a sigh of relief—but before he could exhale fully, a spear with unstoppable force was thrust at their backs—’backs’ because it was blocked by Xu Huo’s defense prop; at the same time, Xu Huo turned to look at the tall Rank-B player who was catching up. In that second, a speck of fresh blood burst from the player’s forehead!

The last Rank-B player of Xiaohe City died with his eyes wide open, while Xu Huo, holding the black metal bead that had pierced through his skull, muttered, "I was just feeling that Mr. Kang’s death was a big loss, but it’s not bad to have someone fill the void."

The three players who had been watching from afar ran faster than anyone else.

Only then did Xu Huo truly relax, as Zhou Yuanzhu took him back to the commercial building.

The building had collapsed, but Guan Shu’s prop had been set up here; not only did it save Chi Minghong, Tan Qi, and two other children from District 002, it also saved three women from District 002 and some people from Xiaohe City.

"I was really sweating for you just now." Chi Minghong came over to help Xu Huo, eyeing the wound on his chest, "This needs to be dealt with immediately."

"Place him properly, I know a bit of basic surgery," Ruan Qiyuan said.

Lin Qiao, the only one with functioning limbs, came over to help move Xu Huo. After disinfecting the wounds at the bar, they began to suture him up.

Xu Huo’s injury was not fatal, as he had taken a Self-Healing Potion in time, and the bleeding wasn’t severe. Coupled with the sturdy constitution of a player, that was how he had managed to hold on until now.

However, after Ruan Qiyuan stitched up the bleeding wound, he still advised, "This has been pierced through, you should lie down for at least a day or two, and it’s better not to move around too much."

Chi Minghong took out a folding bed, "You should lie on a bed, better for resting."

Xu Huo sat up on his own and changed position.

Of course, such behavior was normal for a player, and no one else found it strange.

Only then did Zhou Yuanzhu mentioned the dozen or so women with numb expressions in the corner of the bar.

"They were brought out from the building." Lin Qiao said: "They were held in cells, probably... treated as breeding tools. There are also two who are pregnant."

Zhou Yuanzhu looked at them with pity and muttered as if talking to himself, "It might be better to just die... "

Xu Huo glanced at them and closed his eyes.

He didn’t get up until he had rested for an hour before discussing with Guan Shu the remaining players from Xiaohe City outside.

"Some left when Xiaohe City collapsed and the Different Species poured in, and some died. There should be less than half left now." Guan Shu said: "But with your move just now, I doubt anyone will approach in the short term."

Xu Huo nodded, "I’ve acquired Mr. Kang’s artifact. With the building destroyed, the unique temporal rules within may not be maintainable. If that’s the case, you’ll have to wait another two days."

If Xiaohe City could maintain its original state, they would be able to leave early the next morning, but now it’s uncertain.

"We can hold out for a few more days." Guan Shu said, not inquiring about the artifact, but then said, "You and Yuanzhu will need to stay for at least a week before we leave together."

"Do I leave with you too?" asked the girl from District 002, coming closer.

"You can go when your time comes." Chi Minghong responded, "We’ve gotten you a few non-player tickets."

"I don’t want to go back to District 002. Can I follow you?" the girl asked, "I want to join the Holy Sword Society."

Chi Minghong was stunned for a moment, "I’m not from the Holy Sword Society, you should ask them."

Guan Shu didn’t bother explaining the rules for joining, while Lin Qiao took the girl aside, and they also planned to find a comparatively safe district to place the baby that Xu Huo would not take with him.

"I really owe you thanks this time." Guan Shu sincerely thanked Xu Huo. Without him, they might not have survived, at least not on Mr. Kang’s turf where they definitely couldn’t handle several dozen players, not to mention Mr. Kang himself.

"No need for thanks," Xu Huo said indifferently, "If you really want to thank me, you could share more information about Dr. Wu."

Guan Shu chuckled, "Although we’re not exactly companions, having been through life and death, we’re friends... Well then, I’ll tell you all that I know within my authority regarding Dr. Wu."

Xu Huo listened attentively.

Previously, they had traded three pieces of information: first, Dr. Wu was not an organization but an actual person; second, he was alive and possibly a Perfect Evolver; third, Dr. Wu was likely one of the founders of the Dimensional Rift game.

However, these pieces of information were not detailed. Now that they were comrades through adversity, Guan Shu would return the favor by sharing more detailed information with him.

The reason they could confirm that Dr. Wu was an individual and still alive was that members of the Holy Sword Society once saw information left by Dr. Wu in an instance. He clearly stated that he was alive and was intentionally spreading the Perfect Evolution Potion.

"Did he not say whether the Game Government possesses the Perfect Potion?" Xu Huo interjected.

"I’m not clear about that," Guan Shu paused and then added, "Furthermore, more than one of our society’s members got the Perfect Potion in an instance; some players coincidentally got a part of Dr. Wu’s manuscripts, and it has been confirmed that Perfect Evolution can extend life."

"In addition, Dr. Wu himself said a cryptic hint in a left-behind video, the content is: ’The end of the game is the starting point of time.’"
