Players Please Get In the Car

The short woman's dry yellow hair was scattered on her face. Her face was not very clear, but the deep wrinkles on her face showed that she was quite old and very haggard. She stretched her hands towards the female corpse a few meters away. After making a few meaningless howls, she suddenly stopped all movements and stared at the man beside her with her eyes rolled up. "I curse you, and all of you in the firing squad. You shall not die a good death..."

Before the last word fell, the dark-skinned man cut off her head and threw it on the ground, and said to the members of the execution squad who were maintaining order: "Go to the third-class area and check. Kill all those who are related to this woman."

A portion of the execution squad members were separated, and even two vehicles from the motorcade left the team, flying away from the city center with the bodies hanging from their slings.

This little incident did not affect the mood of the firing squad or ordinary citizens, and the parade and cheering continued.

Xu Huo left the city center and used a teleportation tool to arrive at the old city area where third-class residents lived. People were crowded both on the ground and underground. The news of the arrival of the execution squad had spread. After the players who were originally there to maintain order killed two third-class residents who were running around, most people began to rush to their own residences.

"Anyone who fails to report their location within three minutes will be treated as a deserter!" The armed equipment transmitted the message to every corner, and the huge old city area fell silent in such a short time.

The execution squad that arrived later got the identity information of the murdered woman from the player on duty and went straight to her residence and began to slaughter anyone related to the woman, neighbors, colleagues, and friends. They did not listen to any excuses or ask for any clues. They killed anyone they found. For a while, screams and cries for help became the only sounds in this old city area.

Under such circumstances, a player unexpectedly brought two children and pushed away the player who found them, rushing into the underground passage from an old building in the old city.

Players and armed aircraft entered the underground from different entrances one after another. Although the underground pipes were interconnected, in order to restrict the third-class residents, some passages were only open during specific time periods, so the execution squad only needed to block some entrances to intercept people.

The player who escaped with the child was obviously not a high-level player. He didn't even have two decent props. He relied entirely on his legs to run in the sewers. His only advantage was that he was more familiar with the underground roads.

But this could only buy him a little time. He didn't even have time to contact his companions. After only half a minute in the sewer, the armed aircraft that caught up with him destroyed his micro terminal.

Xu Huo followed them on the ground for a while, and after finding that they were picked up by two players, he changed direction and went to other places to create a little chaos for the execution squad. Then he went to queue up at the exit of the city.

Apparently, the unrest here has made many people from outside the area feel that there is no need to stay for a long time, and there are long queues at the checkpoints.

"Sir, do you need someone to queue for you?" A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face came over and asked carefully, "The checkpoints leaving the city today are very strict, there are a lot of people, and no one is allowed to cut in line. It will definitely take some time. If you pay me a little money, I will queue for you. I guarantee that I won't waste your time!"

There are many local residents queuing here, the price is not expensive, and there is a rest area specially provided for tourists.

Xu Huo paid the money, and the middle-aged man told him a number and gave him a drink before he went to queue.

There are quite a few players from outside the rest area, and there are people coming over all the time to sell local specialties. The handsome boys and girls are very good at reading people's expressions and can accurately identify which customers are likely to patronize the place and which customers will not only not buy but will also curse and beat people.

Xu Huo, who was sitting in the corner and was inconspicuous, was basically ignored. Only a boy who was kicked out because of his poor speaking ability stood beside him for a long time before he mustered up the courage to ask.

Xu Huo picked a few and gave him a small tip before asking, "Why is the checkpoint so strict today?"

"We've spotted members of the anti-government alliance in the city, and we're afraid they might get out," the boy said.

"Is it like this often here?" Xu Huo asked again.

The boy nodded and pointed in a certain direction of the city. "There are often heads hung on the Execution Street. They say that those who are hung there are members of the Anti-Government Alliance."

Xu Huo nodded slightly. Apart from those who were unlucky, most of those who were caught were not strong enough and did not even have a chance to escape into the station. He had seen a dead body under the parade convoy at the station. It should be the member of the anti-government alliance who died at the station.

Without asking any more questions, he waved the boy away.

Soon, holographic devices throughout the city announced the appearance of the young player and two children who had escaped from the old city. All three were wanted, and the amount of money they wanted was not small.

"Even children are wanted. How timid must these people be?" a player from another zone laughed.

"How can we underestimate children?" someone else said. "When they grow up, they may become players or underground members of the anti-government alliance. Aren't they the main force that inherits hatred?"

"It's really unlucky to be born here." The teasing player said, "But I heard that the Moonhorn Principality is much better. There is no anti-government alliance."

"If one country is so rotten but still stands, we can tell what kind of morals the other two countries have." Someone else joined the conversation, "The Principality of Yuejiao has no anti-government alliance. They have several political parties within the country, and they are at war with each other. Most of the people buried in the public cemetery died in domestic fighting. They still have the nerve to erect a monument to the martyrs!"

"This is also a feature of the Moonhorn Principality." The teasing player said, "At least those who died were those who sought death. It's not like here, where ordinary people are slaughtered at will."
