Apart from the players who had been killed or escaped, only seven players remained in the entire base. After the young man spoke, the others chimed in one after another. To them, it made no difference who they teamed up with. They were all here to cash in.
Xu Huo was clearly an Outer District Player too. There was no reason for him to pass up such an easy way to make money, especially since they could use this method repeatedly before the Super Artifact Incident ended.
The costs were low, the risks minimal, and resistance slight. What could make money faster than this?
Of course, in District 017, the main threat came from players arriving from other Sub-districts. Working with someone like Xu Huo would also be safer for them.
Xu Huo had no intention of working with them, however. He put away the black knife and said to the young man and the others, "You can use your Tickets to leave now."
It wasn't a suggestion. The group's expressions changed. "Are you kidding me?" the crew cut female player said. "We spent so much money just to get to District 017. How could we leave empty-handed—"
Xu Huo sent her on her way.
After the woman fell to the ground, staring blankly at death, he looked at the six who remained.
Actions spoke louder than words. The young man and the others had no choice but to back away. They didn't understand Xu Huo's motives, but at this point, leaving was their only option.
Four of the six left. The other two tried a clever trick, using a teleportation item to hide outside the base. They probably planned to come back after Xu Huo left, but instead ran straight into the Ma siblings, who were keeping watch outside.
