Chapter 55 - Financial Crisis 15: Traitor (2/2)

“Last night, someone died in the Shanshui Guesthouse but the boss was still so calm today. There must be a problem.”

The boss and free person joined forces and the Shanshui Guesthouse became a special pit for ‘foreigners.’

The hotel on the opposite side of the street had fewer challengers so on the first night, ‘Xu Zhengyang’ picked a few places to start. The next night, he aimed for the challengers at the Shanshui Guesthouse, where there would be two outcomes.

The first one was what Xie Qi experienced. The challengers weren’t alert enough and most of their materials were stolen. They were forced to collectively move to the construction site. Apart from the senior teammate who left Xie Qi and acted alone, the other challengers gathered at the site where they met something that destroyed them.

Secondly, the challengers were sufficiently alert like Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou and tried to catch the thief. The secret room’s boss used extreme methods to escape and the other challengers kept the supplies. However, the boss would use the ‘preferential’ price to stop challengers from leaving, allowing ‘Xu Zhengyang’ to continue stealing things from everyone.

If things happened as expected, Xu Zhengyang would return to the Shanshui Guesthouse tonight. Once most of the challengers’ suppliers were stolen, they would leave here and once again gather at the construction site.

Yu Hanjiang thought of all this and felt that the layout of A of Spades and A of Clubs was really precise.

Most of the challengers’ actions were arranged by them.

There were three categories of challengers who could smoothly survive in 3 of Spades: Those who abandoned their teammate and ruthlessly monopolized the materials, those who didn’t live in a guesthouse from the beginning and lived directly on the streets and those who were vigilant enough to store their materials in batches and could move places at any time.

The other honest challengers who lived in the guesthouse were almost doomed to be eliminated.

Yu Hanjiang stood up. “We have to go back as soon as possible. I’m afraid that those who left the hotel will rush to the construction site and Professor Xiao’s side will be in danger.”

Shao Qingge also stood up in an alert manner. “Let’s go!”

***

It was just after noon.

Under the scorching sun, the road was about to melt and the trees on the street were hanging listlessly.

The several main roads in the city were still tightly blocked. There was no traffic police to command them and cars moved at a crawl. In addition, there was a number of rear-end accidents and collisions caused by the traffic jam. Some drivers got off and started arguing, making the congestion situation even more chaotic.

There was a large number of exhaust gas from the cars, which made the surrounding temperature seem to rise even more. The horns blaring in the streets were deafening.

As long as a car had fuel, the air conditioner could be turned on. However, a car would always run out of fuel and the price of fuel had risen so that most people couldn’t afford it. Many people hid in their cars with the air conditioning on and were full of anxiety. Some people couldn’t wait and directly abandoned their vehicles.

On the streets, someone smashed open a roadside store and went inside to loot it.

Someone smashed the self-service ATM machine and found there were no gold coins inside.

The bank was robbed and forced to close.

The supermarket in the central square no longer had people patiently lining up. There was a large influx of residents into the supermarket, hitting, smas.h.i.+ng and looting the shelves, sweeping up every idea. The supermarket manager’s face was full of horror as he tried to close the supermarket. However, it was too crowded and he couldn’t shut the door. Someone accidentally fell and the person behind them couldn’t stop. The old man lying on the ground was surprised to find himself trampled to death…

The crowd fell down one by one like a ‘domino effect’. Yu Hanjiang’s ears constantly heard the sound of cries and screams as a very serious ma.s.s stampede occurred in the supermarket!

Shao Qingge’s back was cool and he couldn’t bear to look. “It is terrible. I don’t know how many people died…”

Once this ma.s.s stampede occurred, the number of people who died or were injured would be countless!

Yu Hanjiang’s expression was becoming uglier. He was alone and couldn’t help even if he went to the scene, but he found it hard to dispel his anger when he saw so many people being trampled to death!

Xiao Lou was right… this world was crazy.

Yu Hanjiang clenched his fists and forced himself to turn his head and stop looking at the cruel scene. He directly used the teleportation card and returned to the construction site at a very fast speed with Shao Qingge.

At almost the same time, Xiao Lou sent him a text message. “Group Leader Yu, there are many challengers who suddenly came to the construction site.”

Yu Hanjiang hurriedly asked, “Are you okay? Did they steal the supplies or hurt you?’

Xiao Lou, “…”

Did he have no sense of self-protection in Group Leader Yu’s heart?

Perhaps in Group Leader Yu’s view, Xiao Lou was a gentle and mild university professor. He usually never fought with people and his physical strength wasn’t very high. He could barely keep up with Yu Hanjiang while wearing the acceleration shoes.

Still, don’t forget that this was the Card World.

Any gentle person in this world must make themselves strong and the weak could only wait to be eliminated.

If Xiao Lou needed to rely on the protection of others then he wouldn’t be Xiao Lou.

Yu Hanjiang saw him return an ellipsis and thought Xiao Lou had encountered trouble, making it inconvenient to speak. He immediately sped up and flew back to the site with Shao Qingge.

However, the scene in front of them shocked both Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge at the same time.

They saw that in the northwest corner room on the third floor, Xiao Lou looked calm and there was even a smile on his face.

His fingers were raised and there were several silver metal rings floating in front of him. Next to him were two men trapped head to foot by dense rings. Two females had their feet trapped by rings and they could only maintain their balance by leaning against the wall. A man and woman were directly hung up by the rings, their faces filled with horror and begging for mercy.

Yu Hanjiang, “………”

Professor Xiao was awesome.

It seemed that he had been worrying too much.

Seeing Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge had returned, Xiao Lou smiled and walked to them. “These people saw that only me and Xie Qi were in the room and there were so many materials. They directly came running in to grab the materials and were caught by me.”

Xie Qi looked at Xiao Lou with an expression of wors.h.i.+p. “Professor Xiao really has foresight. After you left, he drew a lot of spare rings. I didn’t see the operation just now when he already tied them up in twos. It was just like magic!”

The six people tied up, “……”

There was only a seemingly gentle man and a delicate teenager at the construction site so they thought it would be easy to deal with them.

The result was that they f.u.c.king walked into the ring trap and were defeated 6V2. They were all trapped and became prisoners. This was a really big shame!
