enormously bloated, highly decomposed fat man wielding a huge hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Corrosion fat man swung his massive hook with a whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, three players who were running slower were struck and died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, fiery red halos were sucked from their bodies and into the mouth of the zombie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Save us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving players behind them, seeing Su Mo and others in the distance, yelled desperately as if seeing the first light of dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, Su Mo turned on his heels and bolted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really like seeing a ghost, how could there be a zombie with such a high level of evolution, fed by so many players?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Su Mo had taken off running, the other two snapped out of their daze and followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his panic, Sun Duoxiang didn’t forget to look back and yell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t harm others!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, save us, we don’t want to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You saying you don’t want to die makes it sound like we’re keen on dying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Sun Duoxiang ran faster and faster, soon rushing past Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the security bureau appeared before them, its gate ajar, though the entrance was littered with the corpses of numerous zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang reached out to pull the doorknob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo, realizing the danger, shouted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang had already opened the door, and immediately several dark gun barrels extended from inside, aiming at Sun Duoxiang, Su Mo, and Lan Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang decisively raised his hands in surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo felt a sinking feeling, remaining still without any abrupt movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fight back, but rather, with so many guns, there was just no escape, and any movement would have him shot to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man with a scar on his left cheek threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, the three of them steeled themselves and walked in, only for the doors to be closed right after they entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were then herded by gunpoint into the main hall where dozens of players were crouching with their heads in their hands, watched over by about a dozen tough-looking individuals armed with handguns and batons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Put your backpacks and any weapons you have on the ground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scar-faced leader said to Su Mo and the others menacingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s expression remained unchanged as his mind raced, calculating how he could catch the scar-faced leader off guard and take him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t shoot, we’ll cooperate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the principle that a smart man doesn’t fight when he’s at a disadvantage, Sun Duoxiang immediately set his backpack down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Xi, without saying much, naturally placed her backpack down as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, only Su Mo was left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Zhang Hao, here’s one who’s not cooperating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minion to the side, noting Su Mo’s inaction with a nasty expression, spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you’ve got guts, but take a look at how many toys we’re holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t wise up, don’t blame us for not being polite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao sized up Su Mo from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s eyes narrowed, just as he was about to burst out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Sun Duoxiang was the first one to speak, against everyone’s anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you all want to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo, you want to play hero?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking for trouble, huh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao chuckled as well, turning his head to look at Sun Duoxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy really wasn’t afraid of dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me tell you, don’t act so cocky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m an executive of the Wuji Guild, and if you dare to touch us, just try it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our guild brothers are nearby, and with just a word to them, crushing a bunch of you would be a piece of cake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang threatened decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Sun Duoxiang was particularly brave, but rather that the sly fox knew how to read people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, these guys were nothing more than small-time bullies, swaggering around because they got lucky with some weapons at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the type that bullied the weak and feared the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Sun Duoxiang’s words, Zhang Hao’s face instantly turned sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wuji Guild had a formidable reputation, reputed to have over ten thousand members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own organization was just a small fry in comparison; they hadn’t even reached thirty people in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really couldn’t compete with them, and if this guy truly was a high-ranking executive, that would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should we do, boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little brothers present looked at Zhang Hao uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who had done their homework had heard of the Wuji Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao’s expression fluctuated, finding himself in quite the dilemma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that they couldn’t afford to offend the Wuji Guild, but if he backed down now, where would he put his face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re with the Wuji Guild?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they also?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, both of them are with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang replied with a show of loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Xi couldn’t help but take a second look at Sun Duoxiang, a bit surprised that he hadn’t quickly disassociated himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she wasn’t foolish enough to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wuji Guild had a lot more face than the Dream Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was silent, accepting Sun Duoxiang’s kindness as his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Zhang Hao felt increasingly in a bind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang could see that Zhang Hao was having trouble saving face so he quickly offered a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, there’s no benefit for you in taking us down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What we have on us isn’t valuable to you, so why give us a hard time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if you let us go, not to mention the prospect of future goodwill, I can tell you high-level intel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What intel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao lifted his head to look at Sun Duoxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll tell you the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how intimidating you look, armed and squatting inside the police station, you’re bound to be done for after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have high-level intel that can save you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a safe zone within this city that all the guilds and forces are preparing to converge on at a fixed time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you let us go, once we reach the safe zone, we could look out for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even if you make it there, our guild won’t let you off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what you call a win-win situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang started to sweet-talk again, and his words were convincing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but turn to Sun Duoxiang with an odd look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t he the one who said the news of the safe zone was top-tier information?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spilling it to everyone he meets, how valuable could it be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time someone tells him they have high-level intel, he’ll definitely shoot them first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, how do I know you aren’t lying to me, just to betray us later?.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao was somewhat skeptical about Sun Duoxiang’s claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was a thug with little education, he had seen plenty of this kind of deceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang quickly patted his chest and said, “How could I possibly lie to you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every word I say is true, and moreover…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao stared intently at Sun Duoxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, I think you guys are rare talents, able to take the lead in such a dangerous city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shows your extraordinary strength…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Duoxiang began his flattery spree, showering them with wild praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao and the others immediately looked much more pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Su Mo, they seemed much more receptive to flattery—who wouldn’t like a bit of brown-nosing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, each of our brothers is skilled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao stated confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>",1304,"2026-06-09T07:18:14.658Z",1,"novelbin.me","e42f82336896f78fd51c98415e3ce413d2654f2c6700d665a30b9ad27018a8ad","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-18","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-16",1771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdestiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-cover.jpg"]
