    Chapter 312

    Among the tens of thousands gathered in the square were people from every walk of life. Faced with this desperate situation, everyone displayed their own methods of survival.

    One man somehow produced a rifle from beneath his clothes, rushed toward Su Hao, fired a shot...

    Only to be split cleanly in half along with the rifle.

    Another group hastily assembled a crude rocket launcher and fired a shell at him.

    Su Hao casually swung his blade.

    The rocket was cut cleanly into two pieces.

    A moment later, the explosion consumed the entire team.

    As for those self-proclaimed heroes who tried to save everyone...

    Whether they were Resistance members or ordinary people no longer mattered.

    Time passed.

    As Su Hao and Yashan continued killing, the chaos throughout the square gradually subsided.

    People slowly realized something.

    The two blood-soaked figures in Black Crystal Armor were not attacking everyone.

    They had specific targets.

    As long as you were not one of those targets...

    You would live.

    Those who figured this out were overwhelmed with relief.

    For the first time in their lives...

    They truly understood how precious life was.

    Su Hao himself had long since lost count of how many Resistance members he had killed.

    He simply followed the red markers.

    Find.

    Approach.

    Slash.

    Move to the next.

    It was no different from clearing monsters in a game.

    Only now did he truly understand why so many people preferred becoming mages instead of warriors.

    Personally killing thousands with a blade...

    Was exhausting.

    Eventually...

    There were fewer and fewer red markers remaining.

    Finally...

    None were left.

    Su Hao slowly came to a stop.

    A moment later, Yashan walked over.

    "Boss Wei."

    He fell silent.

    Neither of them spoke again.

    Both were still covered in Black Crystal Armor.

    Its original dark color had completely disappeared beneath layers of dried blood.

    It looked as though the armor itself had been dyed crimson.

    Su Hao casually tossed aside his two Black Crystal blades.

    The outer layer of blood-soaked armor peeled away automatically.

    A brand-new layer emerged beneath it.

    Yashan quietly did the same.

    Soon, the bloodstained armor fell away, revealing his originally handsome appearance once more.

    He slowly looked around.

    Bodies covered the ground.

    Thousands of survivors stood in the distance.

    Every face was filled with fear.

    After a long silence, Yashan asked in a hoarse voice,

    "...Is it over?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "It should be."

    He then withdrew the transformed Black Crystal Armor.

    The towering fifty-meter Black Crystal walls softened.

    They slowly melted back into the earth like flowing liquid.

    The Black Crystal floor beneath everyone's feet also gradually dissolved, restoring the ground to its original yellow-brown soil.

    Seeing this...

    The tens of thousands of survivors finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    The bloody massacre...

    Was finally over.

    They had survived.

    Su Hao looked toward the northwest.

    "Let's go."

    "First, we'll deal with the underground nursery."

    Yashan immediately nodded.

    "Boss Wei, wait a moment."

    "I'll retrieve the cameras."

    "I mounted them on top of the Black Crystal Cage. They should have recorded everything."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Go."

    Yashan immediately ran off.

    Meanwhile, Su Hao entered Marble Space and instructed Little Light to generate a battle report.

    A short while later...

    Su Hao suddenly frowned.

    "What?"

    "We're missing more than a dozen?"

    His first thought was simple.

    Some Resistance members had escaped back to the secondary star.

    He immediately inspected the Dual Suppression Field runes beneath the square.

    Everything was functioning perfectly.

    He even tried extending his own mental tendrils.

    Even with his strength, the suppression field made them extraordinarily heavy.

    Teleportation was impossible.

    "So what happened?"

    Su Hao closed his eyes.

    He reduced the range of his radar while greatly increasing its precision.

    Every remaining life signature inside the square was carefully examined.

    He searched every survivor one by one.

    No Resistance members.

    None.

    His brows gradually knitted together.

    "There must be a loophole..."

    "What did I miss?"

    Again and again...

    His radar swept across the battlefield.

    Just as he was about to stop searching—

    His eyes suddenly narrowed.

    "Hm?"

    "The blood qi of those Matanga Lions..."

    "They haven't completely dissipated."

    Curious, Su Hao walked toward several headless Matanga Lion corpses lying nearby.

    "Normally, after a summoned beast dies, its blood qi should rapidly dissipate."

    "But these..."

    "They're fading much more slowly."

    "It's almost as if..."

    "...something is preserving them."

    The closer he got...

    The clearer the sensation became.

    Then—

    His eyes widened slightly.

    "This is..."

    "Human blood qi."

    Human blood qi was extremely weak compared to summoned beasts.

    Ordinarily, unless he deliberately searched for it, he would mistake it for the life force of small animals.

    Su Hao immediately instructed Little Light to compare the blood qi signatures.

    Result:

    90% similarity with Resistance Member No. 2301...

    Resistance Member No. 0034...

    ...

    They were precisely the Resistance members listed as missing.

    Everything instantly became clear.

    These people had hidden themselves inside the bodies of the Matanga Lions.

    Then...

    They deliberately controlled the lions to attack Su Hao.

    Once Su Hao killed the beasts...

    They remained concealed within the corpses.

    Because their own blood qi was so tiny compared to that of the Matanga Lions...

    Their life signatures had merged together.

    Like a drop of ink disappearing into the ocean.

    Even Su Hao's radar had overlooked them.

    Little Light naturally failed to identify them as well.

    Had Su Hao not meticulously investigated every anomaly afterward...

    These dozen people truly would have escaped.

    Even Su Hao couldn't help laughing.

    "What talented people."

    Then he sighed.

    "Little Light..."

    "You're really useless."

    Little Light replied mechanically,

    "Yes, respected Mr. Su Hao."

    A Black Crystal long blade slowly appeared in Su Hao's hand.

    A smile spread across his face.

    "I'd really like to see..."

    "...which clever people nearly escaped my pursuit."

    The dozen Resistance members hiding inside the corpses immediately became tense.

    Their hearts sank.

    We've been discovered.

    Still...

    They wondered whether Su Hao was merely bluffing.

    So they held their breath.

    Remaining perfectly still.

    Silently praying for this god of death to leave.

    Unfortunately...

    The gods clearly weren't listening.

    Instead of leaving...

    Su Hao slowly walked closer.

    "Hiding inside dead beasts?"

    "Heh..."

    He stomped lightly.

    Black Crystal spread beneath the corpses.

    Dozens of High Temperature runes activated simultaneously.

    The Matanga Lion corpses immediately began heating up like giant ovens.

    The hidden Resistance members instantly understood.

    There was no point hiding anymore.

    After barely thirty seconds...

    They could no longer endure the heat.

    One after another...

    They crawled out through the wounds in the corpses.

    Covered in blood and internal fluids.

    Among them...

    Was Luo.

    More than a dozen people stood before Su Hao.

    Su Hao nodded approvingly.

    "Not bad."

    "You've got courage."

    Luo forced an ugly smile onto his fat face.

    "Sir..."

    "I think you've mistaken us for someone else."

    "We're only tourists visiting Paradise Town."

    "We know nothing."

    "If we've somehow offended you..."

    "We'll leave immediately."

    "Would that be acceptable?"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "I waited until now..."

    "...just to tell you something."

    "You were very close..."

    "...to escaping this disaster."

    He paused briefly.

    Then smiled even wider.

    "But..."

    "Your luck..."

    "...was just a little too short."

    The instant his words fell—

    Slash!

    Su Hao disappeared.

    A cold flash swept across the dozen people.

    Blood erupted into the air.

    More than ten headless bodies slowly collapsed onto the ground.

    As consciousness faded...

    Luo's final thought remained only one question.

    Where...

    ...was the tiny thread of survival that should have belonged to me?

    Then he complained to his Little Light, “Little Light, you’re so useless!”

    Little Light replied, “Yes, respected Mr. Su Hao.”
