Chapter 503: The Sea of Death
"Then as long as we stay on the ship, we should be safe, right?" a female player said, her voice trembling.
Was the ship safe?
Definitely not. The seventh deck, which had just been restored, had been violently demolished again. They were now pressed against the ship's side by a pile of ornaments and wall debris, unable to go in or out. Either way seemed like a dead end.
"Why can't the train tickets be used!" someone roared furiously. "We're clearly so close to District 011! How is it possible we're not within the game!"
"Can't you see this is intentional on their part?" another person redirected the blame towards Xu Huo and the others. "They deliberately brought us to a sea area where train tickets can't be used to leave! They're determined to kill every single one of us! You're wearing Black Wristbands!"
The crowd glared with hostility, a frantic madness in their eyes, the kind that thinks killing one before dying breaks even, and killing two makes a profit.
"Everyone, calm down a little," Serin raised his voice. "I am a follower, and I always stand by the weak. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people beside me."
The few White Wristband wearers who had followed him earlier hurriedly stepped forward to testify. The crowd tentatively believed him, then pointed at Xu Huo and the black wristband player, especially the latter. He was covered in blood, and other players had seen nobles who killed so voraciously before.
"I also have a White Wristband," Xu Huo showed his original wristband. "As for this friend, he's a good person. He killed several red wristband players. We swapped wristbands for safety. If we were truly on the nobles' side, with such an obvious advantage, why would we also prepare a White Wristband?"
