Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Rushing Towards a New Life
The player being pushed to the front stood still, and Brother Rong cursed "useless" before trying to pull someone else, only to find that they were standing stiffly with vacant stares, as if completely unable to hear him.
"You did something..." Brother Rong immediately looked forward, but Xu Huo, who was standing there, had already disappeared. Following that, someone reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Point-to-point teleportation!" Brother Rong didn’t even bother to shake off the hand on his shoulder, taking out a snowball-like prop and trying to run, but though the prop was used, his body remained motionless in its place.
A hand reached from behind and took the snowball from his grasp.
"Prop?" He heard the man who was standing in front of him before speak from behind, "Didn’t expect you to be a Grey Player. I heard your brothers are all Players, wonder what their names are."
Brother Rong wanted to run, but his legs were numb, he bluffed: "My big brother and little brother are top Players in District 002. If you dare touch me, they definitely won’t let you off!"
Xu Huo chuckled, "Then do you know who I am?"
Brother Rong choked, his voice shaking unintentionally, "Don’t be so arrogant. As long as you’ve been to District 002, you must have left traces..."
"That makes sense," Xu Huo took his Communicator, flipping through it as he spoke, "So you’re reminding me to thoroughly erase my tracks, best to take your two brothers along as well?"
Brother Rong was so angry his face turned red and his neck bulged, trying to say something, but before his mouth could open, his head flew off.
Xu Huo slightly bent over to dodge the red sword light flung from behind and looked back at the person who emerged from the gambling den, "Stealing kills?"
He incidentally took away several surrounding Players as well.
The female Player flashed him a dazzling smile, leaped onto a nearby energy storage car, "Come on, let’s go together. I’ll share the props with you later!"
Xu Huo hopped on the car nimbly, and before he could sit still, the female Player took control of the steering wheel and spun the car out of the gambling den’s boundary—a twenty-meter car trailed a string of battery and supply crates.
The car headed straight for the city’s exit. Players from the gambling den chased after them, but only followed from a distance. The female Player, while driving spaciously, said, "If they chase us out of the city, let’s take them out first, then split."
"I’m going to pick someone up." Xu Huo pushed open the car door, casually took out the nearest chasing Player, and then picked up the young girl.
The young girl had already put on a raincoat, covering her face tightly. After getting in the car, she first greeted the female Player.
The female Player glanced back at her and asked Xu Huo, "Your relative?"
"A newly met friend," Xu Huo replied, "Just giving a lift along the way."
The female Player gave him an "I understand" look and asked, "Where’s your instance location?"
"Snow City. We’ll head to Xiaoyang City for a direct ride first." Xu Huo glanced at the rearview mirror. In addition to the three Players from before, three more had joined.
"People from the District Government office are here." The female Player laughed, speeding up, "These freeloaders, when thugs cause trouble, they don’t interfere, but they come to trouble us, the ones who are seeking justice!"
"I came to steal the car," Xu Huo stated flatly.
"Me too," said the female Player with a giggle, "Robbery comes with killing, right?"
"My instance location is also in Snow City." She adjusted the car lights, "This place is too dark, we better not have to grope around in the dark for the instance."
"Big cities are bright," said the young girl, explaining, "Although the government has set eight hours as daytime, those higher-income cities light up during other times too, especially Snow City, which is lit all day long, with no night, and no household needs to prepare power storage equipment."
The female Player nodded, "I see District 002 is not so poor either, crushing their own kind so hard."
"District 002 generates electricity using a domestically produced mineral, not a small output, but not yet infinite supply," Xu Huo said, "Resource distribution is quite normal."
District 002 is perennially dark, and although there’s corresponding crop cultivation and animal husbandry, its produce is nowhere near as rich as other districts. The contributions each city can make to the district are limited, some relatively remote cities still require financial assistance from the District Government, thus naturally, there would be corresponding restrictions.
Even if Players could endlessly bring back enough resources from outside districts, there’s no need for fair distribution.
"The gap between the rich and the poor is inevitable wherever there are people," the female Player said with mock gravity, then asked for Xu Huo’s name.
Xu Huo used Xu Zhi’s name again. The female Player also readily shared hers, "I’m Chi Minghong, my profession is a police officer. What’s yours?"
"Psychotherapist." Xu Huo smoothly produced a fake certificate he had made.
Chi Minghong chuckled, not caring if it was true or false, "You made this certificate on the spot, didn’t you?"
"Does it not look like it?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.
"It does look quite real... Do you plan to stay long in District 002?" Chi Minghong said, "The psychology consulting industry there is quite developed. Long periods in darkness, no sunlight, it’s understandable. To a certain extent, everyone’s mind would be somewhat affected, otherwise, the crime rate wouldn’t be that high either."
"But the competition in this field is also fierce. Mostly, those who value high-priced psychotherapists are all Players. Each year, District 002 has over three times the medical disputes crimes compared to other crimes, mostly doctors being killed."
"That’s perfect," Xu Huo smiled, "At least psychotherapists are in demand here."
"Makes sense," said Chi Minghong, "I’ll make one, too. Maybe I could fool a couple of Players for fun..."
As the conversation reached this point, she paused, signaling something with her eyes towards the back, "Looks like we can’t travel peacefully without dealing with this trouble, you take the wheel."
She wasn’t asking for Xu Huo’s opinion, said her piece, and went her way. In the rearview mirror, all that could be seen was the red arc of her longsword prop.
Xu Huo moved to the driver’s seat and slowed down to wait for her.
The chasing Players were not weak, but not very strong either. A few of them kept firing at the car, meanwhile, two crates got dislodged during the process.
"Thought of taking the people you kidnapped back to sell?" Chi Minghong caught up to a sliding crate, using the prop to tie it back to the energy storage car’s tail, "The thugs do such things, and your District Government office as well? Wouldn’t it be better if I led them to a new life?"
"Stop slandering, you killed so many in Huayu City and you think you can just walk away?!" A Player with white patches on his face shouted.
"Why so worked up? The people I killed were bad guys, murderers, robbers, kidnappers, rapists, what evil haven’t they done? You should be thanking me, even if District 002 has no daylight, your hearts shouldn’t be so dark."
Another Player with white hair stopped his companion, "Don’t waste your breath on her, just block the car!"
