Chapter 1007 Despair in the Maze Dilemma
Chapter 1007 Despair in the Maze Dilemma
Liu Yishou listened to his subordinate's words and began to worry.
He knew better than anyone that ever since the first nine channels separated, the remaining people had been constantly being dispersed!
Each large space has nine passageways.
Moreover, once these people enter a large space, their escape route will be blocked.
Previously, those passageways all appeared to be straight, so everyone just kept rushing forward.
But who knows how big this place is? What appears to be a straight line to the naked eye may not actually be a straight line!
"So, everything was planned!"
He held a roasted lamb leg in his hand, took a bite, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, he realized a very serious problem: Chu Chen's actions were intended to trap them all inside and kill them.
They are human beings too; they need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.
My team is alright; everyone here used to be a high-ranking member, so most of them have storage space.
But the other ordinary brothers are different.
You have to understand, in the Celestial Realm, storage space isn't something you can just throw around. Without some kind of capital, who can afford to use this thing!
So, there's only one outcome for those people: they'll starve to death without any resources to sustain them!
Thinking of this, he stood up again: "Brothers, we have no other choice now. The only way out is to move forward."
"The supplies we have are only enough to last us another half a month!"
"If we still can't find a way out in half a month, or reunite with the young master, then death awaits us."
After saying that, he kicked one of the brothers in front of him: "Get up, all of you, and move forward!"
So, after resting for a while, these people started running forward again.
But about fifty meters away from them, a group of people collapsed to the ground.
The leader looked around and said, "Whoever still has food on them, take it out and put it under our control."
"Brothers, things aren't as rosy as the young master makes them out to be. Our only goal right now is to survive, so we must stick together."
But after he finished speaking, none of the other ten or so people made a sound.
In fact, the leader knew that they were all bandits from the mountains, and they were just low-level thugs. Where would they get storage space?
Asking this question is just a way of keeping a sliver of will to live!
Looking at the silent crowd, he shook his head in despair and sat down on the ground with a thud.
But not long after they sat down, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of them!
He held a heavy machine gun in his hand and then opened fire on them.
The leading man used his teammate's corpse to block the attack from the shadowy figure.
After the gunfire stopped, he dashed towards the dark figure.
However, just as he approached the shadowy figure, his expression immediately turned to terror, because the shadowy figure in front of him was also a master of the Heavenly God Realm, and he didn't seem to be weaker than himself.
The result was exactly as expected; the shadowy figure swiftly brought down the knife, ending his life.
"Hmph... The mission I was given was to kill you all. If I wasn't confident I'd show up, would I?"
The shadowy figure finished speaking somewhat mechanically, then disappeared at the end of the passage.
Similar things keep happening.
This drove those trapped inside the maze to desperately rush forward.
The maze was brightly lit, and the long daylight hours left them looking tired, both physically and mentally.
They didn't know the time, they didn't know what lay ahead; everything was unknown.
With the passage behind them blocked, most people felt a sense of despair in this situation.
If no one takes charge to boost their morale right now, these people will probably collapse in about ten days!
On the third day, Chu Chen got up early from his bed in the pavilion.
After washing up, I prepared a seafood feast for myself.
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and put on the earpiece: "How is it?"
"Young master, the target's speed has slowed down; it's estimated to arrive half a day later than expected!"
"What about the other enemies?"
"Most of the other enemies have stopped advancing and are resting in place. Yesterday, more than 20,000 people were killed, and now there are about 120,000 left."
Chu Chen shook his head after hearing this: "It seems we overestimated our opponents. We've only just begun, and we're already resting?"
"Reporting to Young Master, according to the monitoring, many of them have run out of food and there are no further supplies. Some squads are already unable to move!"
Haha, that's great! It seems my strategy of using the maze to disperse our forces worked perfectly.
Sha Jinyun is, after all, a woman. Even if she inherited the previous strength and memories, so what?
Such an obvious tactic, yet he arrogantly fell for it!
Even a Celestial God Realm expert is still just a human being, and humans have weaknesses!
If your 300,000 men don't concentrate their firepower and get scattered by the maze, it's destined to be a failure.
Therefore, in the end, this so-called battle of offense and defense was just a battle between himself and Sha Jinyun.
The two are evenly matched. For a Saint Realm expert, unless you poison him beforehand, you can only fight him head-on!
"Sigh, I'm the one who has to bear all the blame!"
Thinking of this, Chu Chen grabbed a large lobster from the table and took a bite.
As for Sha Jinyun, Chu Chen currently has no better way than to wear him down and provoke him, exhausting him both psychologically and physically before delivering a fatal blow.
Previously, when Mu Xueqin and Jiu Mengzi taught him martial arts, he disdained to learn.
When two players are evenly matched, skill is a decisive factor in determining the outcome.
In this respect, Chu Chen had no advantage, so when he heard that Sha Jinyun's speed was decreasing, Chu Chen felt much more at ease.
This time, when he comes to me, I will only be able to exchange two or three blows with him before I have to retreat.
Retreating now might give him a boost of morale, but if he were to navigate the maze a few more times, it would lead to despair.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen said to the control center, "The rest of the enemies will no longer pose a great threat. The focus should be on the primary target. Set up all the traps and attacks on him."
"Let's add fuel to the fire on his way to see me!"
"Understood, young master, I'll arrange it immediately!"
After saying that, Chu Chen turned off the intercom and continued to eat and drink heartily.
At this moment, Sha Jinyun wished he could tear Chu Chen to pieces.
Along the way, all sorts of despicable methods have been used: poison gas, high-voltage electricity, all kinds of strange thermal weapons, and corrosive chemicals.
They even provided him with the equipment for trapping wild boars.
