Chapter 1096: Chapter 747 Waiting

Li Changhe was taken to a corner of the shelter, surrounded by several injured parties who had just been hurt and two members of the special squad.

They had been told that Li Changhe was a family member of a player, and they were to protect him together.

Speaking of protection, it really just meant staying with the injured.

While they protected the injured.

"No matter what happens, don’t leave our side," one of the special squad members said, "Of course, don’t feel any psychological pressure. Right now, all you have to do is wait for the players to finish the battle, and then you’ll be safe."

Li Changhe silently nodded, accepting their kindness.

Meanwhile, Zhao Qianhui suppressed the urge to complain and said to Li Changhe, "Please stay here."

The implication was that the place was left to him.

Even though he was nominally a family member to be protected, Zhao Qianhui knew that with Li Changhe’s arrival, the safety factor for the injured present had greatly increased.

While Zhao Qianhui wasn’t entirely clear on how strong Li Changhe actually was, the instructor had just said that with him present, there was no need to worry about a frontal battle.

It seemed as if the instructor had experienced it firsthand. Remembering that the instructor was bruised and swollen the day before, Zhao Qianhui couldn’t help but think, ’Li that rascal, could it be that he gave the instructor a beating?’

Indeed, the instructor who had just displayed the Thunder Giant Series was one of the official players who had tried to gang up on Li Changhe yesterday.

And Xu Fu, who was among the injured, said to Li Changhe, "Brother Changhe, I had wanted to have a chat with you. I never expected it to be under these circumstances."

Xu Fu had just been injured in a stampede while trying to protect a mother and daughter; as a player who hadn’t been one for very long, he was completely unable to handle it.

With multiple fractures on his body, he could now only lie on the stretcher and make small talk with Li Changhe.

Li Changhe then said, "You better focus on healing. I’m just living in the family residence. There’s plenty of time to chat. Also, you can just call me Old Li."

Xu Fu nodded and then said, "If I had known, I would have upgraded my Physique first. If I had brought my Physique up to 10, I wouldn’t be in this mess. Old Li, you know about our players’ attributes, right?"

"There’s a lot of discussion online," Li Changhe responded with a smile, "My wife has also told me about you players. I’ve learned quite a bit. What did you mainly upgrade?"

"Strength, of course, I’ve already reached 10 points in it. I aspire to be a powerhouse in strength. Once I’m healed, I’ll show you the skills I’ve learned." Xu Fu seemed to have aggravated his wounds, grimacing in pain.

Zhao Qianhui then interjected, "Regretting it now, aren’t you? We all suggested you first raise your Physique to 10. The stronger the body, the better the margin for error. If you had 10 points in Physique, you would have been only slightly injured, or possibly not hurt at all, just now."

"Next level-up, I’m going for Physique!" Xu Fu complained softly.

"So, Old Zhao, you leveled up your Physique," Li Changhe asked.

Zhao Qianhui glanced at him and thought, wasn’t it you who suggested I focus on Physique first?

He could only respond, "Yeah, that’s right. And not just that. I’ve also taken part in special challenges recently, tackled the Warrior Challenge, and learned some decent skills, even unlocking the Title Skill. I’ll show you when I get a chance."

The group made small talk, seemingly very relaxed.

...

The college student on the other side, however, fell silent amidst the crowd.

He was hesitant about who his next target for possession should be. He had originally planned to come to the hotel where Tang Lai was and take the opportunity to possess Tang Lai.

Following the appearance of the Catastrophe, he too was brought to this refuge by the authorities. In some ways, this gave him an even better chance to get close to Tang Lai.

But given the current special circumstances, he had a lot to consider.

No one knew what the outside world had become, with each earthquake stronger than the last. It was also unclear what kind of monster the players were now facing.

If, after successfully possessing Tang Lai’s body, Tang Lai were to die quickly in an earthquake or at the hands of a monster,

it would be utterly meaningless. He was here to enjoy the lives of others, not to experience death.

During the disaster, the identity of Tang Lai, the big star, seemed to be of no use. He wasn’t about to be killed by something before he even had a chance to experience life. If the situation was complicated at the time, the Possessor would only be able to find another living person to possess. It would be a loss in every respect...

As for another target, it was the young man who had been taken to a distance.

He was a relative of an official player. It was said that his girlfriend was very pretty and had a not insignificant status. Maybe she was even a player with the rank of a captain.

And overhearing the conversations of those players, he found out that his neighbor was also very attractive.

This piqued his intense interest.

If he found an opportunity to possess that young man, he could gain a degree of protection in this dangerous environment.

Moreover, after possessing so many people and experiencing so many lives, he had yet to enjoy the Pleasure of coupling with an official player.

After pondering for a moment, the Possessor settled on his target. It was that player’s relative.

Compared to the big star, this relative was obviously much safer.

"Your girlfriend and that pretty neighbor, I’ll happily accept them," the college student sneered to himself. He didn’t mind how miserable the fate of the person he possessed might be after the fact.

Just like the previous Possessor, he had not only experienced that person’s life but had also raped his pretty colleague. Even if the Possessor didn’t kill him or destroy his mind, his life was already ruined. No matter how he explained it afterward, no one would believe him.

This time, the Possessor set his sights on the official players.

If he could get useful inside information from the officials, the Pleasure Lord would value him even more. Perhaps he would be granted even greater power and favor.

The Possessor chuckled inwardly, looking forward to the next opportunity.

After possessing, the possessed individual would fall into a sleep lasting anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. To avoid drawing attention, he would have to destroy this body during the next emergency and take the opportunity to possess the relative. To the outside world, it would seem that the relative was simply knocked out by the sudden event. It wouldn’t raise too much suspicion. And he would be able to properly enjoy that guy’s life.

Meanwhile, Yinhu had also made up his mind.

He couldn’t stay here any longer; the emergence of a variable had already caused issues with the predictions of the Book of Heaven.

If they stayed in this refuge, no one could guarantee their survival.

Whether the Possessor might choose Tang Lai as a target was also an issue.

They needed to leave urgently, and those official players had become targets that had to be eliminated.

With so many civilians here, the enemy probably wouldn’t dare to act too aggressively. But just to be safe, taking a hostage would be wise.

"Cancel the plan; when the next earthquake hits, we break out together." Yinhu whispered, "I’ll take the chaos as a chance to release the Demon. You guys go and take that relative hostage. With him in our hands, the authorities won’t dare to act rashly."

"Yes."
