Chapter 32: Recalling the Fear of the Corridor
The room was very quiet. Naga lowered his head. He didn't want to lose what he had now, but he didn't dare to challenge Su Xiao, because he knew there was no chance of victory.
"Naga, how long do you think the Fire Skull Gang needs to destroy Shelter 9?"
"That's impossible..."
Before Naga could finish his sentence, he met Su Xiao's gaze.
"Probably... half an hour."
Naga sighed. He actually knew that once the Fire Skull Gang launched a frontal assault on Shelter 9, most of the hunters inside would betray them. Because doing so gave them a better chance of survival. If they defected to the Fire Skull Gang and coordinated with their forces, they could quickly capture Shelter 9.
Su Xiao gestured for Naga to sit opposite him. Seeing him raise his hand, Naga's heart clenched in fear. In that instant, he felt Su Xiao might casually eliminate him.
With a nervous heart, Naga sat across from Su Xiao, his expression somewhat unnatural. After all, he was now the leader of Shelter 9. Once the Fire Skull Gang took over, he would be nothing.
"Naga, when you are important enough, no one can replace you."
"But I..."
Just as Naga was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something.
"You work for me, and this is your reward. However... if you can't concoct it, the new leader of the Fire Skull Gang will skin you alive. That has nothing to do with me."
Su Xiao tossed a folded piece of paper to Naga. Naga caught it somewhat flustered, opened it to check, and within seconds, sweat beaded on his forehead. He was illiterate—this was the disadvantage of lacking education.
"Baha, help him understand the formula."
The formula Su Xiao gave Naga was, of course, not an alchemical potion formula. Something like that would stump Naga even if he were beaten to death. The new formula Su Xiao developed was a potion with poor effects but barely capable of curing Blood Burn Syndrome. Its potency was indeed low, but the preparation method was much simpler and cruder.
"Hey, look at this character..."
Baha somehow found a wooden stick and began instructing Naga. Bubu Wang wore an expression of frustration, as this simple formula was something he understood at a glance.
...
Fifteen kilometers east of Shelter 9, two men and one woman were lying on a low hill, surrounded by overgrown weeds.
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
Two sighs came simultaneously. The two who sighed looked at each other, both seeing the bitterness in the other's eyes.
"Maybe... we should try to find some help?"
The Battle Angel girl spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Those cowards? Relying on them, I'd rather go assassinate him myself."
A stern-faced man in a leather jacket snorted coldly. Hearing his words, the angel girl fell silent.
"Ah~"
The burly man in the team sighed again. He had never carried out such a miserable cleanup mission. They had found the target, but the target's subordinates kept growing, now nearly breaking a hundred thousand...
"The Fire Skull Gang has already arrived. How the hell are we supposed to clean this up? Apocalypse Paradise is cleaning us out!"
The leather-jacketed man seemed to have reached his limit. He stood up and threw his binoculars to the ground.
"Don't say that. It's still three against one."
The angel girl spoke softly, trying to soothe things, but...
"Three against one? With the number of hunters over there, thirty thousand against one of us, and they'd still have plenty left over!"
The leather-jacketed man began to give up in despair.
"Uh~"
The angel girl was stunned. She felt her teammate's logic was quite sound.
"Thirty thousand against one. Rounding up, that's basically a hundred million."
The burly man couldn't help but feel downcast either.
"Cheer up. There's always a chance."
The angel girl made a final attempt at encouragement, and it seemed to work. The other two had just been venting their frustration—after all, lying in the grass for three days would make anyone depressed.
Waiting. A long wait. Just as the angel girl was starting to feel drowsy, she saw something surprising.
"Look over there. The target has left the shelter."
"..."
"???"
The leather-jacketed man and the burly man stared wide-eyed at the angel girl. The ultra-long-range binoculars were in her hands, so the other two could only see endless wild grass.
"Did you see it?"
Even with the angel girl's usually calm demeanor, she was pleasantly surprised now. She looked at her two teammates, trying to share the joy.
"Honestly, no."
The leather-jacketed man snatched the binoculars from the angel girl's hands and began using the locking function to search. Soon, he spotted a mechanical vehicle speeding across the grassland. The passenger seat held one person, the back seat had a creature that was neither human nor ghost, and beside it was a minotaur.
After seeing the driver's appearance, the leather-jacketed man's mouth twitched—because the driver was actually a dog.
"The target has left!"
As he said this, the leather-jacketed man's hands trembled with excitement.
"Excellent. The enemy only has two people this time, plus three summons or followers. That means... we can actually fight."
The burly man clenched his fist, his fighting spirit surging.
...
Inside the spaceship at the Contractor Camp, dozens of contractors gathered in the outer cabin. They were all relatively cautious contractors. After the previous intrusion incident, they no longer took risks.
"What's going on with the main mission? It's still in an uncompletable state. I just want to get out of this damn world as soon as possible."
Brother Scar exhaled a puff of smoke.
"One word: wait. I feel something is very wrong. A few days ago, Apocalypse Paradise expelled us from the spaceship. That was far too abnormal."
Kuron beside him looked worried. He always felt that something was about to happen.

...
All Apocalypse Paradise contractors in this world received a flood of notifications. After seeing Su Xiao's information, most felt a sense of powerlessness. They finally understood why they had been beaten so badly before.
As for learning that Su Xiao had single-handedly won a World War, the Apocalypse Paradise group basically no longer wanted to fight him.
This blow to morale quickly faded because they finally had the "privilege" of seeing the legendary penalty: Forced Execution. These four words were blood-red, as if one could faintly smell a trace of blood.
"Am I... having a nightmare?"
The healing-type girl, who had previously had her hair cut flat by Su Xiao's single slash, now covered her face with both hands, recalling the earlier scene in her mind: a man with flickering red light in his eyes, holding a long blade, blocking the corridor.
"Forced... Execution!"
Kuron enunciated each word. At that moment, he suddenly understood why Reincarnation Paradise's contractors were so strong.
...
Ten hours later.
The mechanical war vehicle sped along. Su Xiao leaned back in the passenger seat, planning to take a short nap. The upcoming battle might be extremely brutal.
"Ahead, tree!"
Mogro's deep voice came from the back seat, tinged with disbelief.
Bang!
The mechanical war vehicle crashed into a tree. Bubu Wang, who had almost fallen asleep, slammed his head into the steering wheel, his dog face dazed. He had clearly used his self-researched "black tech" to link with the vehicle and activate autopilot.
"Moo!"
Amu, who was now hanging from a tree branch, let out a low roar. He had been sleeping soundly when suddenly he ended up in a tree.
