Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 313: Suppression
"Stop! What are you afraid of? At worst, we’ll fight him! Do you really think Waldo will spare you? Don’t be naive, face Waldo in a fight to the death!" Craig roared loudly.
However, the people behind him all simultaneously lowered their heads.
A fight to the death with Waldo?
What a joke!
Their heads must have been kicked by a cow to even consider foolishly challenging Waldo to a fight to the death!
No one dared to question Waldo’s strength.
It was simply unrealistic to deal with Waldo.
No matter how many of them there were, they couldn’t overwhelm him.
Even Duncan and the others, when they initially devised the plan, didn’t delude themselves into thinking they could kill Waldo.
Instead, they planned to somehow obtain a portion of power from Waldo to elevate their own status.
Seeing the indifference of the people behind him, Craig became furious, cursing at them, looking hysterical.
At this moment, many ordinary survivors who hadn’t been involved in the rebellion noticed this scene and gathered around to watch.
In no time, a considerable crowd had formed around them. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Calvert furrowed his brow involuntarily.
To prevent an uncontrollable situation, he moved directly towards Craig.
His level was the same as Craig’s.
However, his combat capability was stronger.
Coupled with his surging fighting spirit at this moment and someone assisting from the sidelines, they quickly subdued Craig.
"Don’t kill me!" Craig fell to the ground. Just as he was trying to get up and wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he suddenly felt an unprecedented and intense sense of impending death.
In this moment, he felt incredibly close to hell.
He looked up and indeed saw the dark barrel of a gun pointed at him.
It was a Barrett!
Even though he was a level-sixty ruler with a super-strong physique and regular bullets wouldn’t harm him, facing a Barrett at such close range meant certain death.
In an instant, Craig felt his soul leave his body.
Boom!
However, Calvert didn’t even blink and pulled the trigger.
Watching the corpses on the ground with blood flowing, Calvert said coldly, "Daring to betray Waldo, this is your fate! Did you really think Duncan and the others could stir up any trouble? It’s wishful thinking! It’s impossible!"
With Waldo in charge, whether you were strong or weak before, you should all just stay obediently in line! Waldo has already shown great mercy by giving you a place to stay, and you may harbor grievances, but you absolutely cannot oppose Waldo, or the consequences will be severe! Craig, oh Craig, this time, not only will you die, but your master Duncan, including the leaders of those alliances, the controllers, all of them will die, not a single one will escape!"
Calvert looked at Craig’s body impassively and then ordered the capture of the remaining five hundred or so people who had participated in the rebellion. Afterwards, he led the remaining group to move on to other places.
On that night, those involved in the rebellion were not just Craig’s group. It was destined to be a night of bloodshed. Gunshots rang out in various directions in the city of Dawn.
However, they were quickly quelled. The long-planned rebel forces had just begun, but within a few minutes, they were routed by the ambushing city guards and surrendered on the spot.
Of course, there were certainly some who resisted stubbornly, but under the overwhelming firepower of the city guards, they quickly fell. Besides a pile of corpses, nothing was left.
At the same time, Duncan and the others’ faces turned pale as they received news from various directions. Initially, they heard only a few places with bad news, but as time went on, more and more bad news came in. Their hearts gradually sank.
How could this be? How could it possibly be like this? If one or two places had failed, I could understand, but why did accidents happen everywhere?
Duncan’s face turned ashen, unable to believe this reality.
Their actions and arrangements seemed to be completely known to Waldo. From the current situation, their actions had been completely exposed. Because the city guards clearly came prepared!
No! In fact, it seemed more like they were deliberately waiting for them! It was evident that their action plan had long been fully exposed. Why was it like this? How could our actions be exposed? This shouldn’t be the case!
Others were equally puzzled and perplexed. If this was indeed the case, then their situation was not looking good at all. Damn it! There’s a traitor among us! Otherwise, such confidential information could never have leaked! You see, only we, the ones who initiated this uprising, know the location and timing! Others are completely unaware!
Duncan snorted coldly, his gaze scanning everyone present. It seemed like he wanted to see through everyone, to figure out who had betrayed them and leaked the information!
As this statement was made, others also became vigilant! That’s right! Among them, there must be a traitor!
"Not me!"
"Nor me!"
"Come on, I’m at odds with Waldo, would I leak information to him?!"
For a moment, everyone felt like they were facing a great enemy. Simultaneously, they rushed to exonerate themselves.
At this moment, Greer suddenly chuckled lightly. "Why the panic? This isn’t the time for infighting. Instead of this, you should think about how to escape Waldo’s pursuit! Remember, this is not the time for internal conflict. It’s likely that Waldo already knows your whereabouts. In his eyes, you might already be dead!"
Hearing his words, everyone suddenly woke up. If their actions had already been leaked, did Waldo already know their location? This was bad! Run! When Waldo arrives, we’re all done for!" Duncan slapped his thigh and shouted urgently.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt something was off and looked sharply at Greer. "No! Your voice is off! It’s not Greer’s voice! And just now you used ’you’! Your voice sounds more like Waldo’s! You are Waldo!"
As this was said, everyone in the room felt a chill run down their spines. Suddenly, all eyes turned to the familiar Greer. However, for some reason, he felt exceptionally strange at this moment. There was a strange sensation!
"Heh heh, you’ve found out," Waldo sneered.
In the next moment, a nearly tangible killing intent surged in Waldo’s eyes. "A bunch of useless people, you’ve finally discovered me. Otherwise, in the end, you wouldn’t even know how you died. Good, since you dare to betray me, you should know what the final outcome will be, do I need to tell you?!" Waldo calmly walked towards the others.
Immediately, everyone felt their scalps tingle, as if they had fallen into an endless abyss, a bone-chilling sensation creeping over them.
"Waldo? Impossible! How could Waldo disguise himself as Greer? You are clearly Greer!"
"Oh, I get it now. I couldn’t understand why our action plan was exposed. Turns out, you
disguised yourself as Greer. This time, we’re done for!"
"Damn it! It’s so ridiculous! The person we were trying to deal with has been right beside us all along, even providing us with a way to deal with him! It’s absurd, so ironic!"
At this moment, everyone finally woke up. Their brains buzzed with various thoughts, generating thousands and tens of thousands of ideas in an instant.
If, at this moment, they still had some doubts about Waldo’s true identity, the next moment, when Greer’s appearance changed into the man who made everyone present extremely fearful, they all gave up.
They were very clear that they had no chance of turning the tables against Waldo.
Essentially, they had only one way to go, and that was the path to death!
The disparity between the two sides was too apparent.
Even if they tried to escape, they couldn’t escape Waldo’s grasp.
At this moment, they were directly terrified and trembling all over. Even Duncan and the others couldn’t help but show a look of despair.
"Waldo, spare us. In the future, we’ll be your slaves if you want!" Duncan didn’t want to give up the last shred of hope and begged. In fact, with a loud bang, he actually knelt down directly.
The lord of the mighty Sky Alliance, representing over ten thousand people, knelt down and begged Waldo for mercy.
At this moment, to survive, Duncan had no regard for anything else.
What reputation?
Whether he could survive now was a big question.
Duncan was very clear.
At this stage of events, he no longer had the qualifications to negotiate with Waldo.
Waldo had no qualms about killing them.
Moreover, Waldo’s powerful intent to kill was evident at this very moment.
And it was intense.
Hence, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Seeing Duncan like this, the other six individuals - the alliance lords, the controllers - all instantly realized the situation and fell to their knees before Waldo, one after another.
"City Lord, spare our lives! I will never rebel again in the future, and I will be a hundred percent loyal to you. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west! Just let me live. Please spare me, okay? I didn’t actually want to go against you; they forced me to come here. I promise there won’t be a next time! Sob, sob, sob..."
They all begged Waldo, some even shedding tears.
If others were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly be dumbfounded. These pitiful creatures, kneeling on the ground, weeping and almost licking Waldo’s shoes, were once highly esteemed individuals.
However, at this moment, they wore woeful expressions, consumed by fear.
