The A-class players present had some skill to them. Ever since Xu Huo entered, their eyes and brows had been constantly exchanging signals. They even had a set of agreed-upon coded gestures, and in such a short time had worked out a fairly thorough ambush plan. But looking at the utterly unguarded man standing before them, full of apparent openings, they did not dare make a move. Xu Huo would not need even a second to kill them, but asking them to slaughter the people of the Capital Prefecture was absolutely impossible!
Three players exchanged dark looks, seemingly prepared to attack regardless of the consequences. But at that moment, one middle-aged man stepped forward. He waved to his companions, signaling for them to follow him outside.
Two-thirds of the A-class players in the building withdrew. The moment they left the government building, someone impatiently questioned the middle-aged man, asking whether they really intended to go mad and kill their own people.
"Don't be rash. Achieving our goal doesn't mean we actually have to kill anyone." The middle-aged man once again sent out a citywide text notice through the public channel, openly declaring via the communication terminal that this was an S-class emergency. He demanded that everyone in the city comply with the government's instructions: take shelter nearby, do not drive, and under no circumstances speak.
"Go buy soundproofing props from the game platform," the middle-aged man instructed his companions. "The more, the better."
"Also, if anyone makes noise, lock them inside a container prop before dealing with them. Don't get tangled up with them."
"Will that work?" another A-class player asked. "He clearly came here to vent his anger through killing. Even if our method works now, once enough time passes, he'll still find an excuse to massacre the city!"
