After the explosion, there was a ceaseless wailing. Before cries for help could surge, residents near the center of the explosion fled frantically and blindly.

The only ones who could remain somewhat calm were the players, whether they were from the law enforcement team or those mingling among the ordinary people for amusement. They quickly left the crowd and leapt onto nearby buildings.

Shangguan Xi also ascended, facing directly Xu Huo. Upon encountering him, she exclaimed, "That’s quite an overkill, isn’t it? Many people are going to die."

"It wasn’t me," Xu Huo said gravely. "Teacher Ai and that retired security guard ran away."

Shangguan Xi immediately understood, "I knew that old man was no good. I’ve placed a tracker on him."

As he spoke, he took out a prop but only managed to glance at the signal before it disappeared.

"He’s running pretty fast, only a rough direction available."

Xu Huo had already seen it, Teacher Ai had not yet run out of the "Shared Positioning" range, he grabbed Shangguan Xi and threw "Towards the Destination."

After two attempts, they caught up with Teacher Ai. But there were also players from W37 nearby, and the law enforcement team that was patrolling nearby had followed as soon as Teacher Ai and the other had escaped. They were only delayed by quick-moving props and hadn’t caught them immediately, but now Teacher Ai and the other were surrounded by a twenty-meter-high wall, and players from the law enforcement team like dumplings poured in from all around, threw props, and the two were bound hand and foot and fell to the ground.

But just as the law enforcement team was about to capture them, Teacher Ai and the other suddenly disappeared from the spot, appearing to have fled into the game.

"Entering the game is a dead end, they can’t get far. Search the area!" a player wearing a Duck Tongue Cap shouted.

The players from the law enforcement team dispersed and began a thorough search with props and instruments, not even sparing the sewers.

People on the streets were driven into their houses, and foreign players were treated the same. Anyone wandering the streets carelessly was deemed a suspect, and within five minutes, the law enforcement team had captured three visiting players.

Players from the outer areas who hadn’t had time to use their tickets were trussed up like dead dogs and dragged away, making the others more cautious. The players from the law enforcement team were well trained, adept with props and teamwork, and could be called experienced.

Moreover, they used Spatial Restriction Devices to divide the nearby streets, meaning "Invisibility" wouldn’t work. Any movement in the area would attract attention.

But this wasn’t a problem for Xu Huo. A "Gentleman’s Stance" could send him a hundred meters into the sky, high enough to bypass most restriction props. After searching on the ground, he quickly found Teacher Ai moving swiftly towards the east.

Just as he was about to approach, three players appeared in the air, forming a triangle around him.

"My friend, the law enforcement team is busy, please stay here for a while," the Duck Tongue Cap player accurately spotted his location.

Xu Huo slightly altered his voice, "I too have matters to attend to and will not disturb the law enforcement team. Please allow me through."

The other two players weren’t as patient as Duck Tongue Cap. One of them gestured downwards, and Xu Huo was immediately forced towards the ground by a strong pressure; another player transformed into a shadow and appeared behind him in an instant, aiming for his heart.

Xu Huo activated "Standardized Weightlessness" and "Core of Luminescence," delayed the female player, and followed the upward force to land on the ground. Using "This Way is Blocked" he cut off the nearby approaching players and directly breached the prop-created Spatial Barriers, quickly weaving through the streets.

These spatial barriers affected foreign players, but the law enforcement team’s players were similarly restricted. Hence, when the three in Duck Tongue Caps followed him, they were inadvertently slowed down by their own people.

"Intercept en route!" Duck Tongue Cap commanded the nearby law enforcement players, determined to stop Xu Huo.

But Xu Huo, wearing an Invisibility Cloak and moving fast, was difficult to locate. With the addition of new interception tasks, the force started receiving frequent requests for reinforcements.

"These visiting players really don’t respect the rules!" The female player beside Duck Tongue Cap said angrily, "What good does causing trouble do them now!"

It did no good, but with Xu Huo leading, those players who were already unhappy being stuck there spontaneously started to stir things up. What did whatever happened in W37 have to do with them?

Suddenly, a black smoke erupted from a corner of the street, and the next moment people hiding in it scrambled out, lunging forward. After several players dashed out, those who inhaled the black smoke knelt down, coughing up blood, and in just a few seconds, five people died!

"You bastards!" Duck Tongue Cap and the two beside him chased after them, now ignoring Xu Huo and targeting the players who were killing indiscriminately!

The blockade set by the law enforcement team soon collapsed, and the law enforcement players started a skirmish with the outside players.

After all, this was Base City. Once the situation escalated, players from other places quickly arrived to support. They captured a few people, but many outside players hid in the station. Thus, the law enforcement team labored in vain without much gain, and with the blockade broken, those who could escape, did.

Xu Huo soon caught up with Teacher Ai, who, along with the retired security guard, had hidden in a jewelry store’s warehouse through an underground tunnel. There should have been props stored in that warehouse as the signal disappeared nearby.

Unable to pass directly through the metal structure of the warehouse, after shaking off两名玩家 inside the jewelry store, he came directly to the warehouse door and knocked, "Teacher Ai, it’s me."

"Don’t rush to escape. The law enforcement team is all over the outside," he continued without waiting for a response from inside. "I came to tell you that the epidemic that broke out in W06 is going to spread again in Base W37 City."

The warehouse door suddenly opened, and Teacher Ai, standing supported by a prop, said incredulously, "Impossible!"

Looking at the wary retired security guard, Xu Huo responded, "Why impossible? I’ve been to the quarantine area. Just like the survivors from W18, signs have already emerged in the infected I saw there. If I’m not mistaken, anyone who has survived up to now carries a much milder version of the virus. There should not be any worsening of conditions."

"The quarantine area was sealed off half an hour ago."

Teacher Ai was silent for a few seconds, and then a tremendous fury erupted on his gaunt face, "Living samples! The living samples sent to W37 are the source of the infection!"

"What samples?" the square-faced man promptly inquired, "Wasn’t the original sample of the SE virus destroyed?"
