Chapter 1272: Chapter 1273: Just Passing Through

"""

Xu Huo blended into the chaotic crowd, casually pressing down the head of the little girl beside him, and said, "Don’t look up at the sky."

The little girl’s face was full of tears, she choked as she looked at him, wanting to speak but unable to.

Xu Huo didn’t say much, glanced back at the Flower City players quickly heading towards the nearest underground station from the clubhouse, jumped out of the crowd with her, and used "Towards the Destination" to depart from the city center.

The barrier covering the city center wasn’t generated by a prop, but rather a light screen similar to those the Flower City residents use to evade, synthesized by defense instruments. So after the ground collapsed, the instruments placed suffered some damage, making the barrier unable to connect naturally, gaps appeared everywhere, making it easy for players to pass through.

Additionally, someone attacked Kairo Field, the incident had upgraded, the players controlling the scene couldn’t execute the original orders promptly, which also gave others an opportunity; within those short seconds, it wasn’t just Xu Huo who broke out.

However, very soon, it seemed like Flower City had already reacted, the players guarding around the barrier began indiscriminate slaughter upon receiving orders.

"Are the Flower City people all madmen?" Even a player couldn’t help but feel alarmed seeing a river of blood; this type of situation was only seen when killing aliens—who would turn their knives on so many ordinary people for such absurd reasons?

"Why..." the little girl Xu Huo was carrying asked in terror and confusion, seemingly unable to believe that everything happening before her was real.

"I’ll take you back to the welfare park." Xu Huo said.

"I won’t go back!" The little girl instinctively screamed, "If I go back, they’ll still find me... I don’t know... Why... Those people seemed so kind usually... Is Flower City really like this... Does the director know... No wonder his face looked so terrible when he heard the Han Family were looking for me... those kids who left the welfare park..."

"Calm down," interrupted Xu Huo, "Not every child is as unlucky as you."

The little girl clung to this as a lifeline, desperately trying to save her crumbling worldview. She grabbed Xu Huo’s clothes, "Uncle, what will happen to those who went to the clubhouse with me today? Will they die?"

Xu Huo was silent; seeing Flower City people slaughter outsiders, there’s almost no chance of returning to the welfare park. In a better scenario, they’ll accept the identity of Flower City as the dominant force, becoming part of those watching the massacre, or they’ll be directly dealt with.

The light in the little girl’s eyes went out, she held back tears and said, "Uncle, thank you for saving me, take me back to the park, I want to find the director."

Xu Huo agreed, quickly taking her through the city.

Because the power was cut throughout the city, the farther from the city center, the darker it became, while the city center, which had some sound earlier, now fell completely silent. Flower City players seemed to have already controlled the situation.

Xu Huo used props multiple times to remove any potential prop or characteristic effects on him during the journey, but this couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t be targeted, so when they were still some distance from the welfare park, he put the little girl down, "Go back on your own, there’s no one around here, run along the center of the avenue."

Upon reaching a familiar place, the little girl calmed down a bit, nodded strongly, and said to him, "Uncle, you must survive too!"

Feeling aircraft approaching, Xu Huo quickly hid in the darkness, jumping into a house with open windows, avoiding the aircraft’s scanners.

As the aircraft passed, a massive explosion sounded from the city center, a blinding light replaced the fireworks, covering the entire city, waking the sleeping residents.

Xu Huo stood on the balcony, hearing complaints from the bedroom next door, "Another attack by players from outer districts, are those people gone crazy from poverty... If they damage the house... The municipal government will need to allocate large sums for repairs... affecting our welfare..."

Attacks by players from outer districts, this is probably the cover-up Flower City’s privileged use, and also an explanation for outsiders—so many people died inexplicably, and quite a few were residents from other peer cities, they have to find a reason that sounds plausible.

But this isn’t the first time they’ve done this sort of thing; with Kairo Field present, everyone knows this well.

The dead, and those escaped outer district players are not important, the collection of information terminal used in District 001 is very advanced, blocking information is easy, and even if information does flow into District 001 and Flower City, it doesn’t have the soil to take root and grow. The entire upper echelon of Flower City is rotten, and ordinary people enjoying welfare merely as breeding tools can’t change the status quo without even the freedom to dress.

Xu Huo kept watching in the direction of the city center, but he didn’t try to spy using a monitor; there’s no need to take that risk with a large number of Rank-A players stationed in Flower City.

Twenty minutes later, the city center completely fell silent, the city’s power was restored.

An hour later, Xu Huo planned to leave, but as soon as he stepped out of the room, a shadow emerged from the street corner, simultaneously, the shadow rapidly expanded from his feet, instantly covering the entire street, pulling him back into the dimness.

Xu Huo confirmed there were no people around, so what stood before him was merely a shadow, or perhaps a prop.

The shadow faced him, as if watching him, after a few seconds it raised a hand and waved, immediately the shadow on the street and the shadow vanished together.

Xu Huo frowned and covered the area with psychic power; within seconds, he discovered a peculiar force hidden within his own shadow.

"Come out!" He used psychic power to form a large black hand, invaded the mental space, dragging out the figure hiding inside.

The figure didn’t seem very smart, it sluggishly struggled after being grabbed by the shoulder, repeatedly trying to tear at the black arm formed by the psychic power.

Xu Huo’s eyes darkened, just about to act when the figure suddenly spoke, struggling to utter, "I... have no... malice..."

Before finishing, the concretized hand already tore it apart.

It seemed to be formed by some unknown power, dissipating into dust after breaking, vanishing completely before settling.

Xu Huo kept psychic power controlled within a hundred-meter radius, returning to the Eternal Star Hotel as quickly as possible.

The Eternal Star Hotel was negotiating with the third batch of Flower City players, the situation seemed very unpleasant for both sides.

"Without official permission, you cannot search the hotel." The receptionist smiled at the visitors, "Even with official permission, without proper cause, you cannot arrest hotel guests; otherwise, we will blacklist the official government."

"However, if you’re staying at the hotel, that’s a different matter, the hotel doesn’t forbid guests from fighting."

Simply put, paying to fight is fine, but trying to capture people under the government banner for free, no way!
