Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 436: Exposed Location
"Is it the natives?"
"It must be. Damn it, why are these world’s natives involved again?"
Many trialists were discussing, sharing a sense of common enmity. Although there is competition among trialists, they stand united against the natives. The news of a trialist being pursued by natives evoked a sense of shared concern and empathy.
Many expressed their willingness to help Alfred against the natives if possible. Meanwhile, Alfred, who was still on the run, saw the influx of trialists into his live stream and the comments they were making. He felt a surge of hope. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
He quickly clarified: "Guys, it’s not the natives chasing me, it’s the trialist Waldo!"
"What? A trialist is chasing you? Why would he do that? We are new here and not fully familiar with the environment and rules of the dark land. We should be helping each other. Why is he after you?"
Someone named Perry spoke up in response. At the sight of this name, Alfred felt a flicker of recognition. The name seemed familiar. Then his eyes widened in realization.
"Perry? Isn’t he the powerful trialist who killed three demons on the first day and obtained a Super Source Stone? It’s said that he even fought against the natives and successfully killed one!"
Alfred had been paying attention to this formidable individual. Many people said that Perry was a second-level trialist. Seeing this person speaking up, Alfred felt a rush of excitement. His mind whirred rapidly, organizing his thoughts and words.
Subsequently, with a face of misery and resentment, almost hysterically, he roared out: "Waldo is insatiably greedy! Just recently, he learned from the chat channel that my companion and I had obtained three super Source stones. Pretending to want to trade, he cunningly found out our location, claiming he wanted to deal with us! But to our utter dismay, Waldo wasn’t there to trade at all. The moment he showed up, he launched a sneak attack, killing two of us, all to seize our super Source stones!"
"Waldo is incredibly cunning and deceitful. Fearing that we might destroy the super Source stones, he deceitfully said that if we handed them over, he would let us go. And what happened? The moment we handed over the super Source stones, he turned on us, breaking his word and attacked, killing my companion! I escaped only at great cost!"
"My current situation is extremely perilous; this villain Waldo is hunting me down. Brothers, you must recognize this guy’s vile nature! If you see him and have the chance, please help me take revenge. The five super Source stones on him will be your reward; I don’t want a single one!"
Alfred rattled this off rapidly. His speech was very fast. However, the audience watching the live broadcast were all trialists. No matter how fast he spoke, they heard everything loud and clear!
Waldo, the super Source stones, the murder, and the theft - they understood it all perfectly. In their minds, they also formed an image of Waldo: sly, deceitful, powerful, and brutal! It was one thing to steal others’ super Source stones, but to be so ruthless as to annihilate them entirely was despicable to many of these trialists.
They had once been influential figures, their words carrying great weight, never breaking their promises.
However, what really caught everyone’s attention wasn’t this, but the five super Source stones Alfred mentioned.
"Five super Source stones? Damn, that’s a lot! I killed three demons and didn’t get a single one, and Waldo has five?!"
"This Waldo is way too greedy!"
"Brother, share your location with me, I’ll come to help. But let’s agree in advance, if I help you kill Waldo, all the super Source stones are mine!"
At this point, someone spoke up.
Of course, they weren’t offering help just for Alfred’s sake; their main goal was those five super Source stones! It was an unimaginably vast fortune! In the current dark realm, among thousands of trialists, not many had obtained super Source stones. Many didn’t even have one.
Even Perry, a well-known tough Level 2 trialist, has only two super Source stones. From this, one can easily imagine the sensation that five super Source stones would cause!
"Alright, I’ll tell you my location, hurry over and kill Waldo!"
Alfred, invigorated, quickly shared his location with the people in the live stream.
Whoosh!
While distractedly talking to the trialists in the live stream, Alfred was also rushing on his journey. Waldo was hot on his heels, and he couldn’t afford to slack off. With Waldo’s terrifying strength, if he were caught, it would be a narrow escape from death.
He shared his location without hesitation, hoping others would arrive quickly to intercept Waldo. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before Waldo caught up with him.
Whoosh!
With the crazy howling of the wind and his clothes fluttering loudly, Alfred raced through like lightning. At that moment, Alfred’s body suddenly stopped.
He looked ahead in disbelief. At some point, a figure, not too tall, had appeared in front of him. A pair of cold, emotionless eyes were staring at him.
Boom!
Alfred’s mind buzzed, and his body shook as he looked incredulously at the figure in front of him. "Waldo!" he almost hissed the name through clenched teeth. His heart pounded wildly, like a drum, with a continuous muffled sound. It was unclear if it was due to fear or dread.
Without any hesitation, as soon as he saw Waldo, he immediately turned and fled in the opposite direction. However, in the next moment, his expression changed again. "Damn it, why is this happening? How can he have so many clones?"
In front of Alfred, another figure of Waldo appeared.
"I refuse to believe your clones are endless!" Alfred gritted his teeth and ran in another direction. Moments later, a look of despair finally surfaced on Alfred’s face. In all directions, there were figures of Waldo. Multiple Waldos, all with indifferent faces, their eyes brimming with murderous intent.
Suddenly, the murderous intent materialized, turning into a faint red, ferocious monster with bared teeth and claws, converging in the void. With a terrifying and fierce aura, the monster’s face was sinister and dreadful.
"Are you ready to die?" Waldo said coldly.
As his voice fell, all the clones disappeared in an instant. Waldo flickered and appeared right in front of Alfred.
