Resurrection Empire-Chapter 988 - 380: Forced Redemption

Zhou Ya, seated in the booth, observed the situation and said, "There's still time. Hu Yang might consider taking a slight detour to avoid the enemy's stronghold. There's no need to engage in a siege battle here, is there?"

Ren Zhong shook his head and said, "No, we must fight here. This is the only way to win."

Zhou Ya: "Why?"

Ren Zhong: "In the previous encounters, both sides seemed to have similar casualties and captured quite a few of each other's prisoners. But Hu Yang's side couldn't communicate with the prisoners at all and could only kill them all. However, 38 absorbed all the captured prisoners into his forces, making them as loyal as the others. If this continues, Hu Yang will surely lose."

Zhou Ya: "Then what's the point of this decisive battle? Isn't it the same?"

Ren Zhong: "The point is, it will make some people worried that 38 might die here, which will lead them to end the confrontation prematurely."

As they were speaking, the decisive battle in the field suddenly erupted.

Both sides began a desperate charge.

Hu Yang used his thirty loyal wingmen to bravely spearhead the attack, while 38 remained hidden behind, letting others risk their lives.

In terms of elite forces, Hu Yang's side had the advantage.

But in terms of combat enthusiasm, the Self-help Alliance was a notch higher.

These members of the Self-help Alliance seemed to have completely forgotten the meaning of "self-help," sacrificing themselves fearlessly and bravely.

The battlefield was strangely caught in a stalemate.

Only the elite force led by Hu Yang herself pierced through the formation like a sharp knife.

In other areas of the front line, Hu Yang's comrades were firmly pinned in place, unable to advance.

At the rear of the Self-help Alliance, 38 saw this and said to the messenger beside him, "Tell everyone, we're about to win. Just maintain this level of intensity, and once I throw in the reserve camp, we can surely kill Hu Yang, who is deep inside enemy lines. I will share life and death with everyone."

"Yes, Leader!"

The messenger exclaimed with extreme excitement.

At this moment, 38 suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and looked up.

Over there, Hu Yang had already taken off with her remaining twenty-two loyal wingmen.

Including the weapon in Hu Yang's own hands, a total of twenty-three high-powered sniper rifles were aimed at 38.

The area around the sniper rifles glowed with swirling waves, a result of the intense energy flow.

38 immediately understood Hu Yang's intention.

She had been closing the distance between them all along.

Now, there was only less than three hundred meters between them, within her unavoidable sniper range.

"Not good!"

38's heart shouted in alarm.

At this moment, shrill alarms echoed throughout the game arena.

All participants felt dizzy and ceased fire, and the energy in Hu Yang's heavy sniper rifle quickly dissipated.

A small Flying Device descended from the sky, landing directly above 38.

A rope ladder dropped from the small Flying Device, landing in front of 38.

38 secretly breathed a sigh of relief and jumped onto the rope ladder without hesitation.

Then, a peculiar smile appeared on his face again. He pointed to the distance where Hu Yang was lying low due to equipment failure and the blaring alarm and said slowly to the Self-help Alliance members beside him, "Make sure you kill her for me, please."

Although his fanatics were suffering greatly from the continuous assault of the alarm, they all excitedly and fervently promised to fulfill his order, vowing not to disappoint the leader.

After this task was assigned, the rope ladder retracted swiftly, and in just over ten seconds, 38's figure entered the Flying Device.

The Flying Device ascended again, heading directly for the exit at the edge of the game arena.

During this process, Hu Yang gritted her teeth and tried to raise her gun, attempting to shoot 38.

No matter how hard she tried to pull the trigger, all she heard was a clicking sound.

The firearm had no response. Hu Yang could only watch as the opponent left gracefully.

Evidently, a true authority had now intervened in this game, initiating a forced retrieval program, and the game had once again been paused.

In the booth, a peculiar smile appeared on Ren Zhong's face as he muttered to himself, "38 has been retrieved. Just as expected."

Zhou Ya: "Did you really know this would happen?"

Ren Zhong: "Yes. And I'm also certain that 38 himself was waiting for this moment."

Zhou Ya: "But he was just telling his subordinates that he would share life and death with them?"

Ren Zhong suddenly looked at Zhou Ya with an amused expression, "Why are you so naive to think he wasn't lying? Could it be that you've been influenced by him through the projection screen?"
