Excessive ferocity due to caution

Faced with Zhao Yi's threat, the players of Chu Dian panicked for a moment.

We definitely can't win a fight.

Even if all the big shots from the guild were to go out and fight, they would still be no match for Zhao Yi!

"Zhao Yi!"

"Everyone is united right now, selflessly resisting the invasion of evil forces, and you not only fail to contribute, but while enjoying everyone's protection, you shamelessly come to seize territory for your own selfish gain!"

"Don't you feel even the slightest bit of remorse?"

A player, clutching a talisman tightly in his hand, gritted his teeth as he looked at Zhao Yi.

He was the manager of the Chu Palace.

Chu Dian's interests are directly related to his interests!

Zhao Yi seized Chu Dian's asset certificate in the inner city of the ruined city, which was tantamount to snatching the money bag from his waist right in front of him!

How could he accept that?

Looking at the blond man in front of him, who was preparing for a desperate fight, Zhao Yi clicked his tongue and chuckled:

"Since you're so good with words, I'll reward you with a set of revival items for a match-3 game."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a body shredder.

The more than one hundred half-step Great Ferocity level assassins behind him charged madly towards the underground supermarket!

The scene was quite chaotic at one point!

The talisman in the blond man's hand was indeed extremely lethal, and could even pose a fatal threat to a high-level half-step Great Fiend!

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

Within minutes, he was brought to Zhao Yi's feet, his arms and legs broken, and he was bound hand and foot.

Looking at the ashen-faced blond man, Zhao smiled and said:

"What did you just say to me? Say it again!"

The blond man glanced at the large metal box beside him, shivered, and gave a smile that looked more like a grimace:

"Brother Zhao... there were so many people just now, I, I..."

Zhao Yi patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't try to show off in front of me next time."

boom!

He was thrown into the butcher's machine amidst screams of agony.

Some of these players didn't have any resurrection items, so they became corpses.

Because the entertainment company had tampered with the ruined city beforehand, those who possessed resurrection items would only be resurrected at the guild headquarters after the turmoil ended.

This means that once unrest begins, anyone who dies or flees the battlefield will be considered out of the game!

Not long after, a bodyguard handed over the Chu Palace's asset certificates in the inner city to Zhao Yi.

Looking at the asset certificate in his hand, Zhao Yi turned around, pulled up his hood, and walked outside.

"Next one."

...

Abandoned city, outer city area.

Zheng Piaopiao, along with several players around level 36 from the guild, searched the vicinity for Zhao Yi's whereabouts.

The more she searched, the more panicked she became.

Because there is absolutely no trace of Zhao Yi's influence left in the outer city.

Even more strangely, when they caught up to the outskirts of the ruined city, they found no sign of Zhao Yi and his group escaping...

It was as if... Zhao Yi and the others had vanished into thin air!

But how is that possible?

"Lady Piaopiao, we've searched everywhere, but there's definitely no trace of Zhao Yi and the others..."

A player approached Zheng Piaopiao with a serious expression and reported the results of his search.

He is also a player in the field of mechanics.

I modified a special phonograph myself.

Within a short period of time, it is possible to use a recording device to see people who have passed through a certain area and left any trace.

Unfortunately... the recording device didn't find any useful clues outside the ruined city.

This means that Zhao Yi never left the outer city!

If he didn't leave... where did he go?

Sweat beaded on Zheng Piaopiao's forehead.

Only when she faced Zhao Yi in person did she truly understand the pressure that Bai Xiao had felt back then!

What sent chills down her spine wasn't the opponent's strength...

Instead, the other party always seems to be outside of everyone's plans!

"Is no one at Liujing Tower either?"

Zheng Piaopiao's breathing became slightly rapid.

Several players nearby who had visited Liujing Tower said:

"There's no one at Liujing Tower either. All the asset certificates from the outer city are piled up there; several major guilds are locked in a fierce battle there!"

The bizarre reality made Zheng Piaopiao grab her hair and tear at it. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she muttered to herself:

"Where are you... Zhao Yi... where are you..."

"There's no reason for it..."

Why did he suddenly disappear?

At this moment, a seemingly aloof female player spoke up:

"Could Zhao Yi have gone to the inner city?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Piaopiao suddenly turned her head, and her bloodshot eyes startled her!

"Inner city area..."

"How could he possibly go to the inner city?"

"What use would he be to the inner city?"

"He doesn't have proof of assets registered with other guilds, so even if he steals someone else's proof of assets, he can't use it!"

Zheng Piaopiao wasn't talking nonsense.

The inner city is different from the outer city; it is strictly controlled by the Engineering Bureau and the Cleaners, unlike the outer city which is more relaxed.

If Zhao Yi did not register the asset certificate in his own name, he would not be able to use the asset certificate from other guilds for his own purposes.

However, Zhao Yi's name is not on the asset registration of the Engineering Bureau!

The eerie atmosphere persisted for a while, then another player cautiously said:

"Lady Piao Piao... um, I think I saw it on the Engineering Bureau's asset registration list..."

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, and Zheng Piaopiao raised her eyebrows:

"What did you see? Tell me quickly!"

The player gritted his teeth and said:

"I noticed that the names of Leya and Changyu appeared on the asset access registration list."

Zheng Piaopiao's gaze sharpened.

"Aren't they...on the same side?"

"It seems quite normal for each other to divide up territory, doesn't it?"

The player's tone was cryptic:

"No, Lady Piaopiao."

"That's the problem."

"Both of them registered all the assets of the top ten guilds in the inner city..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Piaopiao raised her voice eight octaves:

"What did you just say?"

The player gritted his teeth and repeated it.

Zheng Piaopiao's eyes darted around, then she suddenly looked up and shouted:

"Oh no! It's Zhao Yi!"

Upon hearing this, the other players exchanged bewildered glances.

"Lady Piao Piao, what do you mean by that?"

Zheng Piaopiao's eyes were vacant, and she was covered in cold sweat as she said:

"That Zhao Yi stirred up trouble between Leya and Chang Yu!"

"Chang Yu... Chang Yu is no longer on Leya's side; he's become Zhao Yi's lackey!"

"No wonder Zhao Yi gave up his asset rights in the outer city..."

"That audacious bastard...trying to take advantage of the chaos to advance into the inner city of the ruined city!"

Upon hearing this, the others stared wide-eyed and raised their eyebrows, seemingly finding it hard to believe.

Zheng Piaopiao immediately led the players towards the inner city and sent a message to the guild leader.

however……

When she opened the system's guild chat room, she found it filled with messages about the Tianwang Hotel being attacked by terrorist forces and requests for assistance...

Zheng Piaopiao stood there, her mind going blank, as if it had exploded...

PS: First update.

I was suddenly moved today.

I've decided to write more.
