Chapter 1323: Chapter 1324

Of course, from the perspective of later generations, obtaining players in this way is no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, with endless repercussions, but no one knew what the situation in Zone 023 was at the time.

"What kind of disaster would make the government do such a heinous thing?" Qiu Ming gritted his teeth, "Even children aren’t spared?"

"Forget about humanity, have you ever seen such a stupid District Government?" Xu Huo retorted, "It must have been done by outsiders."

Letting ordinary people all evolve is more than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. It’s essentially cutting off one’s own retreat. Not to mention how many players could potentially emerge, how high would the survival rate be for these players, originally unqualified for the first batch, entering the game unprepared?

Even if they survive, would players who have experienced cruel events still stay in this zone?

Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn’t do such a thing.

This is not something new in the game, and Cao Qinglin and Qiu Ming simply fell silent for a moment before they began searching for usable vehicles.

The cars outside on the street were too damaged to start, so they could only try their luck indoors.

Qiu Ming quickly found an SUV in a corner, pried out a pile of batteries from other cars, and some emergency items. "I don’t know which ones can be used, just take them all."

Cao Qinglin tugged at his injured spot while helping, intending to ask Xu Huo for a hand, but saw him bending down to pick something up.

The car was between them, and neither saw what it was, but after exchanging glances, they tacitly continued with their own work without saying anything.

Xu Huo wasn’t picking anything up but was directly telling them his conclusion, "There should still be people living here."

Cao Qinglin and Qiu Ming found it unbelievable. The latter said, "This godforsaken place has nothing, how do people living here survive?"

"There’s a freshly discarded food packaging bag over there," Xu Huo explained, "But there are no signs of movement nearby, probably covered up. Passing players wouldn’t need to do this, so there’s a high chance someone still lives here."

"Since someone lives here, the interference devices are unlikely to be just accidentally preserved. We need to rush and finish this instance, leave as soon as possible."

Cao Qinglin and Qiu Ming realized that whether those living here were ordinary people or players, if it was to protect their residence, it’d be best to avoid conflict with passing players. For safety, turning off or destroying the interference devices was the best option. The fact that the interference devices were still intact seemed like a deliberate attempt to force passing players to land.

Without further delay, the three of them got into the car and drove out of the underground parking lot, rolling over a ground full of corpses. Once on the main road, Qiu Ming accelerated, but was careful not to drive too fast to prevent accidents.

Sure enough, less than five minutes into the drive, the car tires suddenly slipped, accompanied by sharp screeching sounds, and the car body skidded diagonally towards the street side. Before they could use a Prop to control the car, a heavy blow struck the roof, followed by a laser Secant Line. The white beam, as thick as a little finger, swept diagonally, slicing the car from the passenger seat into two halves!

Xu Huo, who was in the passenger seat, had already exited by the time the person above came down. Wearing gloves, he hurled the person away with a punch, as the laser diagonally cut through the car body.

Qiu Ming and Cao Qinglin also got out of the car, both dispersed, and after a quick scan of the surroundings, Qiu Ming shouted, "All contestants, please gather!"

As soon as he finished speaking, aside from the player kicked away by Xu Huo, four others who were hiding appeared, two hidden in the buildings on the left and right, and two on the rooftops in the front and back.

But that wasn’t all. Xu Huo, standing on the car roof, raised his hand and grabbed the air, causing the manhole cover on the roadside to fly up, followed by a short-statured man emerging. After landing, the man let out a bizarre laugh and then vanished into thin air, his laughter echoing around, yet his location couldn’t be pinpointed.

"Boom!"

"Smack!"

With the movement of sound, both Qiu Ming and Cao Qinglin were attacked once, only to be blocked by Defensive Barriers. Leaning against the car, each movement caused the vehicle to shake, while the surrounding ground crackled as if ignited. It was impossible to determine the opponent’s whereabouts, let alone know where the attack was coming from!

"Ha!" At this moment, a strange cry came from behind them. As they wielded their weapons and retreated, they saw a pair of hands suddenly reach out from the car roof, attempting to grab Xu Huo’s legs with gloves covered in spikes!

The two were startled, thinking Xu Huo had missed due to sound interference. However, in the next second, they saw that the gloves seemed to be stuck at his ankles as if blocked by a barrier, reassuring them and allowing them to counterattack.
