Chapter 1001: Playing Outside the Rules?! The So-Called Treasure!

"Don't make a move; I'll release them right now!"

The man dared not hesitate at all and immediately manipulated the vines to let go.

Wang Defa fell to the ground weakly, dry heaving nonstop.

"Fuck your grandma, you almost choked the hell out of me."

He cursed aloud, yet didn't forget to pick up the knife and slash at the unconscious kid's heart.

At the same time, another person who had been 'controlled' was not spared.

Now the offense and defense were mismatched; Wang Defa sniffed and wore a smile.

"Heh heh heh, you brat, try going wild on me again?"

The man dared not utter a sound, his eyeballs rolling wildly.

He watched his comrades die one by one, fully aware that he could not escape death's end.

Therefore, he had to actively seek a way out.

But the knife was at his throat, and he couldn't guarantee the vines' speed could outpace the reaction speed of a Fourth Tier Gene-Modified Player.

"I'm just a worker; there's no need to take things to the extreme."

"Ask whatever you want to know; I will answer truthfully!"

Oh?

So honest?

Wang Defa couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

He likes people who know the times.

Right now he indeed has a question to ask.

But before that...

He looked up at the knife-wielding woman and complained, "Miss Wen, if you come any later I won't have a life left."

The newcomer had soft features, only about twenty‑five or six, yet exuded a captivating charm.

Every frown and smile displayed an alluring poise.

Wen Ran's gentle face showed a hint of helplessness, "The original plan hit a snag; Sheng Ge and I spent a bit more time handling it."

Having said that, Lu Junsheng walked over, cradling a stone the size of a washbasin in his hands.

"Not Sheng Ge, why are you holding that thing?" Wang Defa was startled.

"To smash people," Lu Junsheng replied.

"No, no, the stone isn't as hard as his head; it's unnecessary," Wang Defa quickly said.

Lu Junsheng thought it over and tossed the stone aside casually.

But that very toss happened to strike the man's foot.

In pain, his complexion turned bluish‑purple.

Yet he dared not make a sound.

Seeing this, Wang Defa patted his cheek and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xu Tu."

"Why just you few? Where are the others?"

"They're still on the way."

"Is that true? It's been ten minutes; even running they'd have arrived by now."

"The entire Lower City District fell into chaos; likely they encountered interference on the road."

"What a coincidence?"

Wang Defa was half‑believing, half‑doubtful.

Based on his extensive experience, he judged that the guy was definitely lying.

"No point in chatting with him; just kill him outright," Lu Junsheng suggested.

"Sheng Ge is right; then let's kill him," Wang Defa nodded in agreement.

What?!

Xu Tu shivered instantly; he hadn't expected the other side to break the usual pattern.

In this situation, shouldn't they keep pressing the questions?

Why give up so quickly?

Suddenly, a chill swept over his body, and a sharp sting shot through his neck.

Startled, he immediately commanded the vines to attack!

But before he could grasp it, his head separated from his body.

Xu Tu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even in his final moments he couldn't understand why these guys were so absurd.

He had been adhering to a plan to stall for time.

But he hadn't expected a direct strike.

It left him not a single ounce of leeway.

Regret flooded his mind.

Until consciousness faded...

"Actually, what do you want to ask?" Wen Ran sheathed her knife and stood, expression puzzled.

Wang Defa looked at the headless corpse on the ground and said, "The Imperial Company produced an extraordinary figure; you should know about it, right?"

Lu Junsheng stared at the stone on the ground, nodded, and said, "It's said to be called 'Demon', a Fifth-Tier Gene Modification Breakthrough, still using the most traditional electric shock method."

Wen Ran felt a stir in her mind, "You mean… this person is likely connected to the Boss?"

"Demon" is indeed just a Code Name.

But according to internal staff of the Imperial Company.

This person should exist only in the heavens.

Handsome and elegant, as if a character stepped out of a comic.

Their temperament is also unrivaled.

Reliable information reveals that wherever he appears, disaster is inevitable.

Like a Broom Star, he tortures researchers beyond endurance.

And such a bold conduct style combined with his appearance.

Makes it hard for Wang Defa not to suspect this person is their direct superior.

"That's not right, I recall Su Yang's game name is different from ours," Lu Junsheng said.

"What's the issue? Sheng Ge, your game name differs from mine, yet aren't we still on the same team?" Wang Defa said.

Wen Ran's mind conjured Su Yang's face, a flash of strange light in her eyes, "If the Boss is in the same world as us, then wouldn't…"

"Exactly!" Wang Defa nodded solemnly, "As long as we twist into one rope, this game will surely achieve early Clearance."

"Moreover, we can follow clues to try to locate Zhuge Chen, and then find all team members!"

"In that case, how many people in White Bear City are our opponents?"

"If luck's on our side, we might find Bai Lang and capture him completely!"

"Heh heh heh…"

Hearing Wang Defa's sly laugh, Lu Junsheng couldn't help but frown, "What if it's not?"

He thought to himself, such coincidences don't exist in this world.

The three of them meeting together is already a huge stroke of luck.

Moreover, although White Bear City is large, the number of players will never exceed five thousand.

In the New Era, millions survive, and he doesn't think he'll encounter companions.

"Don't be so down, what if?" Wang Defa, however, held great hope.

As for luck, he's always been good.

Right now, as the backbone of the three‑person group, he has far too many worries.

And it carries great uncertainty.

If they can find Su Yang, with his insight and methods, perhaps they can break the deadlock quickly.

Moreover, as a Tier‑5 Gene‑Modified Player.

As for combat power, it can also be greatly secured.

He has no reason not to search.

Moreover, perhaps Su Yang has already set out to find them.

"How do we handle that guy?" Wen Ran pointed at the slightly limp Guo Fan.

Wang Defa surveyed the surroundings, then said, "Let's leave here first; I've fast‑forwarded my CD."

"Alright."

With that, the three set off together, first pulling the steel pipe out of Guo Fan's leg.

As soon as it was removed, Guo Fan woke up in pain and kept howling.

To prevent fire from burning him, Wen Ran chose to knock him out.

Lu Junsheng carried Guo Fan, following the two's footsteps all the way.

Ten minutes later they arrived at a secluded spot.

Most residents of this area fled due to the unrest.

Wang Defa violently broke through the door, entering a bungalow.

"This will do."

Lu Junsheng tossed Guo Fan onto the sofa, opened the fridge and took out three bottles of water to distribute.

Wang Defa twisted off the bottle cap, took a sip, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"I'm about to start!"

"Mm."

He took a deep breath, his gaze focused.

Then his eyes radiated brilliance, his consciousness suddenly invaded Guo Fan's brain.

In an instant, a massive amount of memory surged like a tide.

A wave of excruciating pain struck both of them simultaneously.

Wang Defa gritted his teeth against discomfort, striving to search for the needed Intelligence.

Not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, gasping heavily.

Seeing this, Wen Ran hurriedly asked, "How is it, did you find it?"

Wang Defa did not answer, but took a sip of water to steady his mood.

Once he calmed down, he spoke in a low voice, "We've been set up."

"The real Treasure isn't on him."

"Then where is it?" Lu Junsheng asked, puzzled.

Wang Defa clenched his teeth, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, "This guy is insane; he hid the Treasure inside his own daughter's body."

"Or perhaps…"

His daughter is the key to opening the Treasure!
