Chapter 124: Chapter 50 Heading to Death

Gao Xin’s presence was like a fearsome tiger, intimidating everyone around.

His survival from the hands of the Radiation, time and again, was witnessed by all.

Strong! Undoubtedly the strongest Glass Person in the field.

No one doubted that he and his squad could kill everyone present on the spot.

Especially since Qiao Long was also strong, had a gun, as well as the nano weapons collected from the corpses.

But at this moment, Gao Xin actually rejected Dongfang Yi’s most cautiously safe strategy, indicating his sole purpose was to ensure Black’s victory?

He himself was from White though! Gao Xin and his entire team were White.

To win as Black, they must obtain the vote to defect and switch to Black.

But the other side had openly declared they wouldn’t cast any more defection votes and intended to lock down their allegiance.

From the perspective of White, their goal now was to eliminate Black entirely, ensuring a consistent voting pattern.

This way, White could still cling to a ray of hope.

Otherwise, if they lost the next round, they’d be out of blood! All White members would be targeted for elimination!

"Gao Xin? Why would you want Black to win? They aren’t casting defection votes anymore," Xing Shiping said gravely.

Gao Xin replied coldly, "You believe him just because he said so?"

Xing Shiping said earnestly, "Of course not. At first, I also thought they were definitely going to fight among themselves."

"I didn’t expect them to keep their cool and instead turn the tables on us."

"My heart sank when I saw the invitation."

"But I just don’t believe Louis genuinely wants mutual destruction. Would he really let his side, White, lose? We would be the ones targeted in the end."

"So, as long as we all vote unanimously this time, showing our unity."

"The two Radiation on their side will be the first to crack, and a life-or-death battle must ensue."

Some people nodded, others were shocked.

Those shocked clearly hadn’t thought this far ahead.

Dongfang Yi suppressed his fury, "Even if they withstand this round without infighting, they are ultimately not of one mind."

"As long as our votes are consistent time and again, no matter how long they can hold out, they will eventually break! They will have to act!"

"And once one of them dies, no matter who it is, we will gain control of all the defection votes!"

"Their alliance is nothing more than a test of nerve against us, to see who falls into disarray first."

"But the result? It was us who couldn’t keep calm first!"

Within the crowd, the two NPCs who had deliberately voted incorrectly turned pale.

They truly hadn’t thought this far; after all, they had just been brought over from the other side and didn’t have such a clear strategy for this game.

In reality, most NPCs hadn’t considered things so deeply. The main reason they were still voting according to the agreement was because they trusted and were grateful to Gao Xin and also wanted to gauge the situation first.

Additionally, they were afraid that if they made a mistake, this group of people would kill them.

This line of thought was very correct.

However, with so many people, there were always a few confused ones.

Out of the twelve members in Black, two had slipped up, which could be considered a small percentage.

At this moment, these two NPCs were extremely nervous; in fact, when they heard Dongfang Yi’s suggestion to wipe out Black, they nearly collapsed.

As they raised their heads and met Gao Xin’s gaze, their hearts almost stopped.

Gao Xin stared at them and said, "Did you two understand clearly?"

"Betraying at two drops of blood will certainly get you killed."

The two hurried nodded and then realized everyone was looking at them, causing them to instantly shake their heads.

But upon reflection, shaking their heads was also wrong, and they just broke down crying and knelt.

"Great, it was you two who purposely voted wrong!" Dongfang Yi was furious to the point of wanting to draw his sword and slash them.

Yet, Gao Xin pushed him away, "If you want to kill them, then you have to kill all of Black, or else at one drop of blood they will become a major threat."

Dongfang Yi exclaimed anxiously, "But they’ve already voted incorrectly, and we only have one drop of blood left! Keeping them leaves no room for error!"

He couldn’t understand why Gao Xin wouldn’t kill. Maybe these people had figured it out, but they were out of blood! Keeping these fools around, any idiotic vote could spell their end.

Gao Xin then pointed at the projection on the first floor, "Who says we’re out of blood? Aren’t there still two points?"

Everyone looked and saw that yes, there were two points.

But defense had failed, and one drop of blood was only unaccounted for because it hadn’t been deducted yet.

"What do you mean? Are we expected to fight?" Dongfang Yi exclaimed in shock.

Gao Xin confirmed seriously, "Correct!"

The crowd was in uproar, what the hell? Gao Xin was going to fight?

Yes, blood wasn’t directly subtracted, but wouldn’t the result of fighting still be death?

Gao Xin then grabbed the two NPCs and said coldly, "I’m relieved that you didn’t vote to make me a Gladiator."

"I said I would lead you to live, if you can’t understand that..."

"Then let me put it differently, I want Black to win! To win as Black, I must keep Black members alive. But if there’s only one drop of blood left, you’ll all have to die."

"So now, to preserve your lives, I must save the drop of blood that we lost because of you!"

"Do you understand?"

The two nodded frantically, and all the NPCs did the same in a fluster.

Gao Xin immediately dropped the two traitors, picked up his axe, and with a gun in one hand, decisively made his way downstairs.

Heading straight for the Duel Arena!

"What the fuck? Have you lost your mind?" Everyone was astounded.

"Brother, are you really going?" Su Lei panicked, wasn’t this a suicide mission?

The crowd hastily wanted to follow him downstairs.

But Gao Xin bellowed, "Apart from Meimei and Dongfang Yi, no one else is allowed to go down!"

Realizing something, Dongfang Yi immediately had Qiao Long block everyone from following and then went downstairs himself, saying, "Don’t be rash! Any one they send out could easily kill you!"

Gao Xin firmly retorted, "Then I might as well be dead."

"I said it before, we must win as the black side, otherwise I’d rather die."

Meimei frantically argued, "Why must we win as the black side? If we kill these few people, we might also win as the white side, the five of us united, we can definitely do it."

Gao Xin resolutely said, "That’s your way of playing, but I have my own goals."

"If I die, then you all carry on as you suggested, my death won’t be a drag on anything, after all, in your eyes, this drop of blood is bound to be lost."

"Death is not scary, it’s just meeting with the great Spirit. I want to defend my goal with my life, win or die."

Silenced, the crowd didn’t know what to say. What kind of determination was this?

Win as the black side at all costs, and if not winning this way, then die?

Having more black blood shouldn’t be more important than one’s life.

They couldn’t understand this mindset; it was too ruthless, and it was ruthless towards oneself, determined to protect the last possibility of achieving goals with life on the line.

"You must survive!" Qiao Long shouted.

Gao Xin didn’t reply, having already walked out the door.

Everyone wanted to go down and watch, but Dongfang Yi sternly commanded, "Everyone stay on the second floor!"

He had already guessed what Gao Xin was planning to do.

But it was so risky, how could he dare to gamble like this?

It was a near-certain death scenario, the only sliver of hope arose from his wildly unconventional choice.

"He’s too obsessed, I’ve seen that kind of look in his eyes before, just like Silver Hand, but he... is simply greedier than Silver Hand ever was!" Meimei covered her face, peering out from the first-floor window.

The other NPCs and Xing Shiping’s team stayed upstairs.

Those of them who were black players were also praying for Gao Xin to return alive.

Because Gao Xin was betting his life to cover for their mistakes, maintaining the last sliver of hope for black’s survival—if Gao Xin died, they would all be buried with him!

...

"Haha, the opposing team is falling apart!"

"They messed up such a simple choice of six, there must be a black player sabotaging them!"

"There’s a traitor among them!"

Within the black base, two Radiations basked in frenzied joy upon hearing that the invitation vote from the other side had failed.

It couldn’t have been a mistake because the options included colors, and colors were bets both sides would definitely make.

So, a black player had heeded their call.

Louis said to Sofia, "Do you understand now? I told you we could still play! He must have left at least one black player alive! Because he wants to win more, and that’s a hidden danger!"

"If you had fought to the end with me earlier, that guy would have already won."

"Because if you died, it would mean all the black players were in his hands, and he could convert all his own people to black, then sell all the blood from the white base to win!"

"And if I died, it would be the same. All the white would be in his hands! He could first convert you to white, then turn all his own people to black, and repeat the process."

"Only if you and I block the black and white subversion votes at the same time, he would not have the power to end the game."

Sofia nodded. Initially, she and Louis were on the brink of a life-and-death struggle.

But then Louis brought up this point, and she realized that Gao Xin sending the NPCs away was not just to kill them—he must have kept one alive.

And as long as one was alive, even if she won the struggle against Louis, she’d still be unlikely to win the game!

So, they turned the tables, transferring the pressure to the other side.

Sure enough, with more people and mixed votes on the other side, someone couldn’t handle the pressure and split their vote.

"It’s easy now that they’ve split the vote; their team has already collapsed. Next, it’s impossible for them to trust a black player anymore. At this moment... the other side is probably already at each other’s throats!" Louis’s mouth curled into a smile.

He wasn’t playing all these games for nothing.

He knew that in times of crisis, one must remain calm. So, as the fire was about to collide, he hit the brakes and instead joined forces with Sofia.

Sofia scoffed, "You think I hadn’t thought of that? I was afraid you wouldn’t see sense, after all, one hand can’t clap on its own."

"You’re a white player, suggesting to lock the camp and end all white together, it had to be you who brought it up to be credibly threatening."

Louis made a face, "Sure, I wonder who the wretch was whose eyes were practically shooting lasers."

Sofia’s expression darkened, "And I wonder who the fool was who already lifted his hammer."

Louis snickered, "That was to defend against your laser!"

"Enough, let’s stop arguing. You know what to do next, right?"

Sofia replied, "I know. Once he’s done killing, I’ll turn you black."

"Because they killed off all the black players, they are all white now."

"But when I betray you, we’ll all be black."

"We can really work together, restoring the situation to the way it began, still with full lives, while they have only one drop of blood left and can’t play at all."

Just as they were talking, suddenly she shuddered and stared intently at the Duel Arena.

There stood Gao Xin, radiating a murderous aura, as he resolutely stepped into the center.

"Sofia, come out and duel!"

He called out loudly for a battle, leaving the two people inside the house dumbfounded.

What? How could he dare to come out? Was he coming to meet his death?
