Many people were undergoing surgery at the time, but neither the city government nor the hospital had issued an evacuation notice. When Xu Huo broke into one of the floors, three Players were the first to greet him!
"Stay twenty meters away from me, thanks!" One of them raised a hand to stop him. Under his Ability, Xu Huo was immediately blasted backward by a strange force the moment he stepped into the corridor. Behind him, armed robots fired capture nets. With several sides closing in, they nearly ensnared him completely!
Xu Huo didn't use Space Power. Instead, he sliced the nets apart with tangent lines, swept aside several robots, and made an "impossible to refuse" request for a photo to the East District player guarding the window. Then he reentered the building without a hitch.
Aside from the three Players, two others stood outside the operating room. The instant Xu Huo stepped into the corridor again, dense flowers suddenly appeared across the walls and floor. It was clear to the naked eye that they were made from flakes of wall plaster and floor tiles, but the flowers immediately disassembled on their own. Every petal and every stamen turned into a sharp weapon, whistling toward the intruder!
