Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Every Man Must Die

When Xu Huo returned, he discovered that there were personnel from beyond the Special Defense Department surveilling the neighborhood - he didn’t actually need to see them, this was the convenience brought by Spatial Evolution and Cubic Space.

However, the range that Cubic Space could cover was limited, and it was also no more than a thousand meters in length and width, which exceeded his perceptual range by too much, which is why he needed someone outside to help him gather information.

Compared to the Special Defense Department where players were everywhere, the majority being ordinary people, the safety zone was evidently more suitable for an attack.

This attack was likely unrelated to personal grievances. While the Special Defense Department was planning to deal with those disobedient troublemakers, players lurking in the shadows were also preparing to deliver a direct blow to the Special Defense Department, and attacking the safety zone was a very convenient and low-cost method—inhabiting here were many players’ families, and should the Special Defense Department fail to protect effectively, it would inevitably lead to players’ dissatisfaction.

Music started playing in the neighborhood, and after a cheerful tune, the Special Defense Department publicly instructed residents to stay indoors and not wander about; in an instant, the nearby TV sounds almost all disappeared.

However, this was simply an auditory illusion, most residents had merely turned down their TV volumes considerably, but it wasn’t difficult for players to capture; yet at this moment, everyone in the neighborhood seemed like they had earplugs stuck in their ears, with all sounds they heard being weakened.

It was precisely because of this effect that some players inside the neighborhood didn’t realize there were players clashing at the periphery of the neighborhood, until a loud gunshot was heard.

The prop that impeded hearing had its effect shattered by this gunshot, awakening the players patrolling inside the neighborhood spontaneously; some of them immediately headed towards the scene of the incident, while some stayed behind to guard outside the buildings they lived in, as the sounds of fighting grew louder, players also grew increasingly tense.

The balance was quickly disrupted - a masked player who intruded into the neighborhood took a pregnant woman hostage, forcing her husband to shoot at the players.

The middle-aged man, trembling, raised his gun and aimed it at the pursuing players, but he hesitated to pull the trigger.

"Coward!" The masked player shot the man, but due to another player’s assistance, the bullet’s trajectory was diverted and didn’t result in death, meanwhile, the gun in the masked player’s hand also flew to the other player’s hand due to the prop’s effect.

"Release her!" the player shouted loudly, making a pushing gesture at the door towards the masked player and the pregnant woman from afar, the two were separated by an external force; meanwhile, another player came from the side to rescue, but unexpectedly, the masked player had tampered with the pregnant woman, and just as a player caught her, a "ding" sound was heard - instinctively looking down, to his horror, he discovered a hand grenade tucked inside the woman’s coat!

He almost reflexively let go of the pregnant woman, but the next second, the unsteady woman seemed to be caught by something out of thin air, and the grenade in her arms fell towards the ground, exploding mid-air.

However, the explosion didn’t have the power one would imagine; the light from the explosion formed a neat cubic shape, and the explosion’s force was entirely enclosed within this small square, resulting in only a dull "thump" without even the destructive force of a firecracker.

Players from closeby and afar all paused, before they could get to the bottom of it, the pregnant woman and her husband suddenly disappeared from their original spot!

This stunned both parties involved; the opposing people were able to resolve the hand grenade and rescue the pair so effortlessly, clearly they were not on the same level!

Meanwhile, the masked invading player took advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned and swiftly dashed into the nearest building, followed by residential players chasing in only to find that he had vanished.

"Agh!!!" A scream came from the building, and three players who entered the building quickly went upstairs - the scream came from a female resident upstairs, who was crouching in the corner of the living room, pointing at the person lying beside the coffee table: "His head flew off as soon as he entered..."

The dead person was the masked player.

When someone dies, it’s good news for the players in the residential area; it means one less enemy and also proves that the person who took action before was likely one of their own.

The three of them dragged the body downstairs and then returned to the battle.

During this time, Xu Huo had not left his own building, and Gu Yu had already sent over the combat situation from the Special Defense Department.

In the last twenty minutes, there have been three groups of players who launched attacks. All three groups wore the same clothes and masks. Some of them at the main entrance managed to distract the Special Defense Department personnel, and during the fight, a few slipped into the residential area amidst the chaos.

However, according to the summary provided by Wen Xuelin and others, those who broke through amidst the chaos did not stay long before they exited from different directions. It seems the Special Defense Department still had some tricks up their sleeve within the residential area.

This means that the group that tried to sneak attack tonight has not yet succeeded in entering the residential area.

So where did these masked players active within the residential area come from?

Xu Huo pocketed his communicator and once again expanded the coverage of the Cubic Space, releasing Vertical Pupil to quickly patrol the nearby buildings on his behalf.

Searching every floor one by one, he found a player in the building opposite who was getting dressed. In his hand was a mask identical to those worn by the invaders.

Seeing him fully dressed and preparing to jump out the window, Xu Huo simply opened a Space Portal on the floor, causing him to fall right in front of himself.

The opponent was also an experienced player. Falling from a height of two to three meters, he quickly adjusted his position and launched an attack at the only person present before even hitting the ground.

Xu Huo flicked his finger, and a Spatial Barrier formed by the Spatial Ray blocked the effect of the Prop. An invisible knife peeled off the mask from the man’s face and pressed against his neck, "Where are your companions?"

The man sneered, "You’re also a lackey of the Special Defense Department!"

Perhaps thinking that Tickets could allow him to escape, whilst speaking, the young player’s face displayed undisguised anger and disdain, but it lasted less than a second before his expression turned stiff and ugly, then shifted to panic.

Xu Huo looked at him curiously, "I actually thought you were on some special mission, a crusader for justice. Turns out you’re afraid of death, huh?"

"Everyone must die eventually..." The opponent held his head high, but unfortunately, he couldn’t finish his sentence before getting slapped and sent flying into a wall ten meters away, creating a large hole before rolling down to the ground.

He had a Defense Prop on him, so the Divine Slap didn’t render him incapacitated, merely causing a bloody nose and mouth and a bit of confusion.

Xu Huo walked up to the man who was half-kneeling and couldn’t get up, looking down at him from above, "If you want to trouble the Special Defense Department, do it openly. Using women and children as hostages really shows your true face."

"I’ll ask you one more time, where are your companions? Think carefully before you answer."
