Chapter 1697: Chapter 1697
(Wait for modification) The escaping player was originally moving between floors using props, but unexpectedly stepped onto 101. He was unable to break through this type of game metal prop, and then saw Xu Huo beside him, aiming a crossbow arrow at him!
The crossbow arrow wasn’t a solid arrow, but a translucent ice that quickly melted after piercing into the wall!
"I’m not looking for you." Xu Huo clarified his stance, and because of this moment’s delay, the pursuing player had already come down from the floor above. However, as soon as a pair of feet appeared, they were knocked away by a strange force, directly opening a deep trench in the ceiling and stopping only at the wall.
The next second, two people and a stone lion fell onto the same floor as Xu Huo and his companion.
"Da Mao, go!" Yan Jiayu summoned the stone lion to attack, while applying a muscular doll sticker to her face, instantly increasing her speed to that of an uncapturable missile, crashing towards the person by the wall!
The player clearly didn’t regard her reckless fighting style, and with a pat on his shoulder, a blue light arc shield appeared in front of him. With the shield protecting him, he didn’t even glance at Yan Jiayu again, focusing instead on the stone lion that was jogging in circles nearby.
However, just as he was about to spare a hand to deal with the stone lion, Yan Jiayu, the living bomb, crashed onto him – not sure if there were other unseen defense props on her, but when she smashed into the light arc, she directly rammed the player through the wall, while cracks also appeared on the shield!
"What!" The opponent couldn’t hide his shock, subsequently being hit to the outer wall of the building, only to be bounced back by a barrier locked on the wall.
As the force receiving side, Yan Jiayu didn’t look as disheveled as her opponent, landing stably in the middle of the room, wielding the Demon-Subduing Pestle to launch a chaotic attack!
With a few "bang bang bang" sounds, a shield prop was battered into cracks, prompting the player to quickly dodge, using characteristics to temporarily restrain Yan Jiayu’s speed while rushing towards Xu Huo!
His actual target is the government player who hasn’t escaped yet, but just halfway there, a cold light from the side swept over!
The pursuing player quickly sidestepped, and as he raised his hand, dozens of cowhair needles shot out from his sleeve.
The air barrier couldn’t be used temporarily, so Xu Huo decisively moved Shelter 101 forward and then back, simultaneously using "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" during the attack.
The player immediately felt a prop effect applied to himself, pressing his sleeve cuff, and the clothes he wore stood up like scales before closing again. As the color of his clothes changed once, they returned to normal, with no fatigue visible on his face!
Yan Jiayu and the stone lion came in for reinforcement, and the lazy Da Mao took a hit on its rear, instantly venting all its anger onto the pursuing player, forcing him to retreat under biting and tearing.
"The vase’s effect!" The pursuing player tossed a cushion onto the ground. In the scuffle, Da Mao’s foot slipped onto it, with one paw pinned to the ground.
However, this wasn’t of much use, as the violence-driven stone lion simply gouged a hole in the ground. Unable to free itself from the cushion? No problem, it could run off with a floorboard.
Da Mao was difficult to manage, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were also relentless. Yan Jiayu fought in close combat, while Xu Huo aided with props from the side and occasionally attacked fiercely. After three minutes of fighting, both sides suffered injuries.
Glancing upwards, Xu Huo walked up the stairs. Upon reaching the third floor, he sensed someone rapidly descending into the office level from the middle of the building and immediately positioned Shelter 101 directly below!

"Does this mean we have nothing to do tonight?" Brother Yang said from the front.
"To actually be negotiating, it doesn’t sound like hijacking but more like doing business." said the hat-wearing player with a smile.
"No, he’s suspicious too." Skyward Braid suddenly pointed at Xu Huo and said, "If he hadn’t mentioned wall cloth, I wouldn’t have touched the water droplets, and he’s even negotiating with the inflatable doll, which actually agreed!"
Female Ignition Player sneered at this time, "Couldn’t be that they’re using this method to numb us."
"Stop finding trouble," the shirt-wearing woman interrupted them, "Don’t you see, this is not benevolent hijackers but they don’t have enough manpower."
"I bet there are very few genuine prop-donors, and even if they destroy a carriage tonight to threaten others, if no one gives anything tomorrow, how can hijackers blow up all carriages at night?"
"We suggest paying props tomorrow, so tonight they can skip our carriage smoothly, and tomorrow someone will think the delay worked."
"The only trick they have is to sabotage the carriages at night to attract aliens."
So whether using props to replace themselves or preemptively extorting or threatening warns of one thing, the hijackers definitely can’t hold all these players.
"Seems there’s no Rank-A Player on the express train." The hat-wearing player said.
If there were Rank-A Players, there’s a chance to control the entire situation; since there aren’t, it implies the hijackers are at most Rank-B, more likely Rank-C. Considering they find it hard to tamper with the train’s food, they may have people in different carriages, with few players crossing between carriages, so each carriage needs at least one person.
"This train has a total of seventeen carriages, I suspect they don’t have enough manpower to control all carriages," the shirted woman continued: "With the dining car in the center, the carriages before and after may not have exchanged information, so destroying a carriage can start from the dining car, affecting all carriages after it."
"We haven’t been to the rear dining car, which doesn’t mean players from other carriages haven’t been there. They can tamper with food in the dining car as well, and I estimate hijackers are no more than ten, they also operate in different carriages."
