Chapter 2061

The bloody scent permeated the large stone house. The Dibas warriors here had died a very stifling death; because the ownership of the World Core belonged to the Apocalypse Paradise side, these Dibas warriors had maintained a neutral stance toward the Apocalypse Paradise contractors.

And Minai's decision was to first win them over, and if that failed, to immediately turn hostile and kill them—that was how the current scene came to be.

Among the 467 contractors, there were quite a few of Su Xiao's "old acquaintances," such as Kulong, Scar Brother, the flat-headed little wet nurse, and others.

Not only that, two Battle Angels were also among them. The angel girl and the leather-clad man both kept a low profile, preparing to use their numerical advantage to surround and attack Su Xiao. They had already tried their best, but they had been slashed into a state of autism; if it weren't for someone stepping in to help, they would have long since been buried on a grassland.

The angel girl and the leather-clad man exchanged a glance, both feeling that their chances of winning this time were high. They had all heard of Minai; there were even rumors in the Battle Angel circle that Minai had once been a rule-breaker, and later, for unknown reasons, became a contractor again, though some of her permissions had been stripped away.

"With this configuration, it should be stable, right?"

The leather-clad man was clearly a bit nervous. He had once synchronized (simulated) Su Xiao's abilities, so he knew better just how strong Su Xiao's combat power was.

"Probably... yes."

The angel girl's tone was somewhat wavering; after all, having been slashed into autism, it wasn't that easy to recover.

Clap, clap, clap...

Minai clapped her hands, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Before entering the Holy Land, let me state this: the enemy has only one person and three summons. You don't need to pay attention to those three summons. As for setting up a formation for you, there is absolutely no need for that."

Minai's words made most of the people present frown; they had all participated in the slaughter against Su Xiao before.

"When dealing with a solo powerhouse, things like tanks in front and healers in back don't work. You only need to do one thing: focus fire on him. Use every method possible to kill him in a short time. Putting a tank in front is just sending a Scarlet Card to the enemy, understand?"

Clearly, Minai was very skilled at dealing with solo powerhouses. She would not let the Apocalypse side set up any formations; those flashy things had no effect. She had already learned that the enemy could kill a tank in two slashes, so who stood in front didn't matter at all—it was just a matter of one slash or two; the difference wasn't big.

"Find him, focus fire and kill him, then finish the job. Understand?"

Minai looked around at everyone again.

"Got it, no need to repeat it so many times. Over three hundred people, slashed into autism by one person—such a shameful thing, absolutely do not spread it outside. Apocalypse Paradise cannot afford to lose face like this."

A contractor who had just been teleported in two days ago spoke up.

"You damn..."

"If you had fought in the camp's corridor and could still say such cool-headed nonsense, I'd eat shit while doing a handstand."

"Heh~"

Clearly, there was conflict between the two batches of contractors. The second batch of contractors felt it was unbelievable; over three hundred people blocked by one person, and dozens even died. Even if the terrain was special, this was too ridiculous. Even if the enemy was the top of the Fifth Tier Paradise Arena, it was too exaggerated.

Moreover, the Apocalypse Paradise side also had top-ranked contractors. Many had seen that contractor's combat footage, so they didn't believe the gap between the top spot and the 13th place could be that large.

An incompetent commander is more terrifying than a god-like opponent. Besides this reason, the later contractors really couldn't think of any other reason.

In fact, there was indeed such a reason; Kulong's command ability was only mediocre.

"Alright, everyone, complaining to each other won't help you complete the mission. Don't forget, the mission penalty this time is forced execution."

Minai said "forced execution" word by word. Hearing these four words, the clamor of the contractors subsided.

"Let me see, the entrance to the Holy Land..."

Minai walked to the inner side of the large stone house, took out a circular stone disk from her storage space, and pressed it against the wall.

Rumble...

The wall slowly opened, and a passage leading straight forward appeared.

"Surprisingly simple. Kulong, lead the way."

Minai shrugged, her smile as bright as a flower.

"Huh?"

Kulong was clearly a bit dazed. Just a moment ago, the other party said that having a tank in front was useless, and now, the other party actually wanted the tank to lead the way.

"I have mysophobia, and besides... do you see me being able to lead the way?"

Minai pulled up her sleeve, revealing her slender arm. Under the fair skin of her arm, faint green patterns were emerging.

"..."

Kulong's gaze turned to Scar Brother. To be honest, he was a bit scared of being killed.

"Cough, cough, cough, I have a cold today."

Scar Brother gave a dry cough, as if he were suffering from a serious illness. A Fifth Tier main tank, having a cold, what the hell.

"Then you should drink more hot water."

Kulong gritted his teeth and said this, his gaze turning to Minai.

"Go for it, I believe in you, you can do it."

Minai gave "encouragement," as perfunctory as it could possibly be.

"Drink!"

Kulong let out a low roar and stepped into the passage. Seeing his expression, Minai frowned. To what extent must he be afraid that even just leading the way felt like going to his death? For some reason, Minai suddenly began to feel uneasy.

If she had known there was a Gu Shengyi in the arena with shameless abilities, she would never have accepted this summons.

Kulong moved forward with a nervous heart. With every step he took, he felt that a long blade could slash at any moment—one slash to break the shield, one slash to sever the head. If someone had told Kulong before entering this world that someone could kill a tank in two slashes, Kulong would definitely have angrily scolded them, "You're talking bullshit."

But now, Kulong believed it, and he had witnessed it with his own eyes. The tank's blood had splashed on his face at that time; it was both warm and bone-chillingly cold.

The passage was long. Kulong gripped the shield in his hand tightly, his muscles tense. Behind him, contractors entered the passage one after another.

After walking for a few minutes, Kulong saw a stone wall in front that blocked the way. It looked like a dead end, but in reality, there were door-shaped cracks on the stone wall.

Minai stepped forward quickly, took out a key, and inserted it into a groove in the ground.

Rumble...

The stone door slowly rose. Kulong stood in front of Minai, and a somewhat damp, hot wind blew toward them.

【Hint: You have arrived at the Greenhouse. This area is extremely dangerous and has been isolated by the enemy.】

"Phew~"

Kulong let out a long breath. He suddenly decided one thing: even if he died here today, he would die with dignity. He could be weaker than others, but he must never be a coward.

"Move aside, let me do it!"

Kulong was full of fighting spirit.

"Uh~ it was supposed to be you leading the way anyway, please."

Although Minai said this, she did indeed think more highly of Kulong in her heart.

Kulong entered the Greenhouse alone. As soon as he entered, he discovered a stone corridor on the side. Seeing this terrain, he subconsciously shivered.

At the end of the stone corridor was a small water pool. Seeing this, Kulong stopped paying attention to it and walked toward the door opening in front.

After passing through the door opening, Kulong saw a huge open space. The height here was over ten meters, and there were basketball-sized holes in the ceiling. Sunlight shone in, and combined with the lack of ventilation, the temperature in the Greenhouse was at least a few degrees higher than outside.

Entering the open space, Kulong looked around. A moment later, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Safe."

Kulong's shout reached the back, and the contractors entered the open space one after another. On a high stone platform, Bubu Wang looked down—the guests had arrived.
