Chapter 1298: Internal Rift
This was a psychological war, where mercenaries were desperate to survive. In order to live, they would stop at nothing and do anything.
The artificial intelligence seized upon this mentality of the mercenaries, offering a promise that if they killed Lu Yi, they could have a way out.
Gu Fan tried to reason with them, urging the mercenaries not to fall for it, not to be used. Even if they really killed Lu Yi, it wouldn’t win them a way out. This damn AI just wanted to see everyone slaughtering each other.
In fact, the mercenaries knew they were being used and were not willing to be manipulated, but their situation was indeed very disadvantageous to them.
Thankfully, everyone had momentarily eased relations, but Gu Fan and the others remained on guard against the mercenaries. How could they continue forward at ease when they had to worry about potential shots from behind?
"What a predicament!" Gu Fan gritted his teeth in secret. This damn AI was really good at sowing discord. Now, even if the mercenaries didn’t take action, they would constantly pressure Gu Fan and his team.
Gu Fan knew clearly that it was impossible to find a way out under such pressure, so he made a decisive decision to ditch the mercenaries.
"I’m very sorry, everyone!" Gu Fan suddenly blurted out an apologetic phrase, leaving everyone puzzled.
Suddenly, Gu Fan started with a kick, fiercely sending a mercenary flying, then striking out with punches and kicks at the nearby mercenaries.
