# Chapter 2951: Let's See What You've Got

The camera feed fell into a long silence. Watching the people around them gradually die, the broadcasting player had no choice but to fly into the air ahead of time. But looking down from a high vantage point, the city was filled with corpses everywhere, with no end in sight!

Whether from fear or being stunned by the scene before them, it took the broadcasting player a while to find their voice again. Trembling, they said, "Don't worry, the players on the rankings have already rushed over from all over the country to help. The situation will get better soon... Look! It's Hans and Lena! They're fighting against the outer zone players!"

The instrument's lens moved, quickly capturing several entangled figures in the distance. It wasn't just Hans and Lena, who were in the top ten of the rankings, but also more than a dozen famous players from Y Country. They were chasing three people over, one of whom was the player controlling the blood needles. He raised his hand and waved, and a large swarm of blood needles shot up from the ground, heading straight for Hans and the others!

Hans and Lena reacted extremely quickly, swiftly dodging to the side. But two of their companions were still pierced through by the blood needles. Even though they managed to cut the needles in time, they became stiff within moments.

"What's going on!" The surrounding players caught them, only to find their bodies rigid, their faces turning blue, blood vessels bulging on their skin, yet they couldn't feel any blood flowing!

"Be careful, these needles can make blood coagulate rapidly!" Someone shouted at Hans, Lena, and the others.

Hans and Lena exchanged glances. The latter clasped her hands together, and a ring resembling a cloud formation closed in from a distance, blocking the path of several outer zone players. Hans flashed close to them and simply snapped his fingers, causing blazing flames to erupt on the three of them!

The fire burned, but there were no screams or cries for help. The next second, the three outer zone players tore off their outer coats, and the flaming protective suits flew toward Hans. One of them shouted, "Rope Knot!"

Hans, who had been about to dodge, suddenly found his hands and feet bound together by the effect of the trait. His protective barrier was also pierced by another player. As the sword energy from a prop longsword lifted upward, Hans was sent flying backward, where an invisible wall of space blades awaited him.

"Safe Distance!" Lena assisted from the side, blocking the space blades in advance and pulling Hans out. As the two retreated, the other Y Country players simultaneously raised their energy weapons and fired at the three!

The three outer zone players didn't dodge or evade. The energy cannons, redirected by props, bypassed them and struck the distant buildings. Amidst the flying debris, several buildings collapsed!

"Run, run!" The broadcasting player shouted at the people both inside and outside the camera while piloting their flying vehicle. Even at a time like this, they still hadn't forgotten to record everything with the lens. The rapidly shaking screen suddenly captured a nearby building. On the rooftop, a figure stood at the corner of the terrace, the fierce wind whipping at the hem of his trench coat—no one knew when this person had appeared, but the continuously expanding blood-colored patterns along the ground and walls had stopped far away from his feet, making the building he stood on starkly contrast with the surrounding structures already covered in blood-colored veins.

Even Hans and the others, who were in the middle of battle, could hardly ignore such a person suddenly appearing on the battlefield. The three outer zone players had already distanced themselves early on, scrutinizing the person on the rooftop.

"He is...!" The broadcasting player carefully examined the person in the screen. Once they recognized his face, they were shocked, immediately shifting their gaze to the distant building. "Why is a player from X Country appearing here!"

With the merging of partitions, the network barriers between countries were no longer as strict. What had happened in X Country had long spread throughout Zone 014. The videos of Xu Huo killing people had naturally circulated widely, so many people recognized this face. Not only did people in Zone 014 recognize him, but outer zone players from other countries also recognized him, and they were even more cautious than those in Zone 014. That was why, as soon as they spotted his trail, the three outer zone players didn't hesitate to create distance.

The number one player of Zone 014. The three outer zone players were on high alert, but they didn't flee immediately. They were observing Xu Huo's attitude. After all, Zone 014 had only recently entered the game, and the concept of nationality was deeply ingrained. Previously, Xu Huo had only operated within his own country. Suddenly appearing here—was he planning to meddle in the affairs of the entire partition?

However, Xu Huo didn't make a move. He simply looked down at these people from above. Hans and the others didn't dare to act. Their grievances with X Country were hard to sort out, and with the previous warning, there was a chance he had come for revenge. The three outer zone players were even less daring to move, afraid that before they could gain any benefits, they would be targeted by time rays the next second.

He delayed in stating his stance, leaving both the Y Country players and the outer zone players holding their breath in agonizing anticipation.

"BOOM!!!" A massive explosion came from the western side of the city. The person standing on the high-rise finally deigned to shift his gaze away from them, which also relieved the immense pressure on everyone. But the next second, he turned back and pointed downward.

The three outer zone players' expressions changed. One of them, with a grim face, recalled the prop. The blood-colored patterns that had nearly turned half the city into a garden of corpses immediately lost their vitality, and all the blood-colored needles vanished.

What kind of oppressive force was this? He didn't even need to make a move to make the outer zone players back down!

Hans and the other Y Country players couldn't help but look up at the person on the building. For a moment, the emotions in their hearts were indescribable.

But Xu Huo didn't stay long. The next moment, his figure disappeared. And on a nearby public screen, that figure reappeared. The man walked along the chaotic streets. Wherever he passed, the crumbling buildings were framed by an invisible force, then quickly dismantled and collapsed, rapidly turning into fragments and dust that poured down to the ground. At the same time, the outer zone players near him were successively taken out. They had no chance to resist—as if a special domain had formed around him, and any outer zone player who entered this domain would die silently!

The outer zone players who had caused that massive explosion earlier had clearly noticed something wrong here. But they were stubborn. The leading burly man wiped the blood off his prop and grinned fiercely at Xu Huo: "They all say you're the number one player of Zone 014. I'd like to see what you've got!"

The group of them shot toward Xu Huo's location while releasing props and instruments for support.

Xu Huo stopped at a crossroads. Seeing him not move, the others thought the trait had taken effect. But the next second, they saw him lift his head. Though he said nothing, the look in his eyes as he watched them was like looking at dead men.

These outer zone players immediately sensed something was wrong. But before they could react, they were frozen in place—the wind seemed to have stopped, yet another invisible and intangible wind passed through their bodies. Then, their corpses, along with their heads, fell to the ground.

The writing is a bit slow on this chapter. If the second chapter comes late, everyone can wait until morning to read it.
