An Unexpected Sub-class Stone
The deaths of several Players made the remaining ordinary people even more terrified. They huddled together, some crying and others shouting, calling out to anyone whose name they could think of for help.
They clearly weren't from District 014, so Xu Huo asked where they had come from.
"We're from the E25 Wormhole," an old man hurriedly replied. He then pleaded, "Young man, please don't kill these youngsters. They're still young; it'd be a pity if they died. I'm old. I'll cooperate with you."
As he spoke, he reached for the knife on the ground.
"No need," Xu Huo said. "I came in to look for someone. Have you seen any other ordinary people since you came in?"
Everyone shook their heads. In fact, they hadn't been together from the start. After narrowly escaping attacks from some Mutated Plants, they'd soon been captured by Players. The Players had forced them to fight, then killed them, saying it was necessary to clear the Dungeon.
The forest was enormous.
Even one-third of Hai City's population was already a considerable number. Add in the people who had entered from other Sub-districts, and yet all those people had poured into the forest without making a sound.
It was also strange that the Special Defense Department couldn't contact the Players who had been swallowed by the Dungeon. Xu Huo's Personal Panel hadn't been blocked. He could still log into Dimension Below and contact the outside world, and there weren't any strong fluctuations of mental power in the forest. Had all those Players lost consciousness after entering?
The ordinary people from E25 had all remained conscious.
Xu Huo questioned them in detail about what had happened when they entered. He learned that they had also seen the wisteria when they came in.
