nIt wasn’t surprising for Klein to encounter players in this catacomb.

n

n

nThere were billions of people in the world. Even if a portion of them had been eliminated, it was still a huge number.

n

n

nThe number of people in the Fishing Zone’s channel was originally one thousand, but now, there were more than seven hundred people left. They gradually stood firm in the catacombs.

n

n

nAfter more than a dozen excavations, Klein was already far away from his starting point.

n

n

nIt was definitely the same for the other players in the region.

n

n

nAs long as the catacombs were connected to each other, there was always a chance of meeting each other.

n

n

nKlein wasn’t interested in meeting the two players. He was more interested in the period of time before they entered the catacomb.

n

n

nThe wall was intact, and just as he had guessed, the sound was completely isolated.

n

n

nWhen the two of them entered the catacomb, they didn’t appear with their feet or hands first. Instead, their complete bodies appeared at the same time.

n

n

nIn other words, the moment they stepped into the black hole, it was a bit like space-time teleportation!

n

n

nPerhaps the black hole wasn’t thin, but when players stepped into it, they would have an illusion.

n

n

n“I have no interest in joining your team.”

n

n

nKlein directly rejected Jack’s suggestion.

n

n

nJoining the team was fine, but the prerequisite was that the other party had something that Klein wanted.

n

n

nThe two of them were covered in dust. They only had a short knife and a short hair on their weapons, and they weren’t any better off.

n

n

nFurthermore, Klein could see the hint and avoid any risks. There was no need for him to repeat his words and let others take advantage of him for no reason.

n

n

n“Not joining?”

n

n

nTracking Jack’s gaze, Tom said, “Isn’t it better for everyone to practice and survive in the catacombs? As the saying goes, two fists can’t block four hands. You should understand this principle.”

n

n

nAs he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally made use of the short knife in his hand.

n

n

nIt looked like he was trying to dissuade him, but in fact, he was full of threats.

n

n

nTwo fists were no match for four hands. Wasn’t it just Klein alone against the two of them!?

n

n

nAs for the little fox, Jack didn’t take it to heart.

n

n

nWhat kind of evil intentions could a cute little fox have?

n

n

nIt might be Klein’s reserve rations.

n

n

nWhen the two of them entered the catacombs, they didn’t see the Rock Armor Crocodile’s corpse.

n

n

nOtherwise, they would definitely leave obediently.

n

n

n‘What can you two men provide me? Let me be clear in advance that my sexual orientation is fine.’

n

n

nKlein chuckled. “I don’t need to rely on others to survive in the catacombs. Please feel free to leave.”

n

n

nJack’s arm touched his companion Tom without leaving a trace.

n

n

nThe two of them exchanged glances.

n

n

nTom immediately understood Jack’s thoughts. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly.

n

n

nHe agreed with Jack’s idea —

n

n

nSeize the material goods!

n

n

nKlein was too famous. Everyone knew that he was a big piece of meat.

n

n

nIf Klein joined, everything would be fine.

n

n

nIf he didn’t join, then don’t blame them for being ruthless.

n

n

nIf he wanted to live longer, he had to be ruthless. He had to take a gamble!

n

n

n“Klein, hand over half common goods you have, and we can let you go.”

n

n

nJack and Tom held their weapons and approached step by step.

n

n

nThe two of them bet that Klein would admit defeat.

n

n

nHanding over half was equivalent to giving Klein a chance to live, so Klein wouldn’t be desperate.

n

n

n“Only half?”

n

n

nKlein said in surprise.

n

n

n“Yes, as long as you are willing to cooperate honestly, we will only take half.”

n

n

nJack thought that Klein had agreed, and he was overjoyed.

n

n

nAs expected, he had made the right bet!

n

n

nKlein shook his head and said, “I just feel that you guys aren’t ruthless enough. What a pity…”

n

n

n“What’s a pity?”

n

n

nJack felt a chill.

n

n

nKlein shook his head and said, “Aren’t you guys a little slow-witted? Do you really think that I relied on luck to gather so many resources?”

n

n

nKlein grabbed with his hand, and the runic crossbow appeared in his hand.

n

n

nThe two people opposite him saw the runic crossbow. No player had long-range weapons. They were all melee weapons.

n

n

nAs a result, the two of them didn’t think too much about it.

n

n

nIn close combat, there was definitely an advantage in numbers.

n

n

nKlein didn’t look tall or strong.

n

n

n“Ahem, Boss, we were just joking just now. Don’t be rash.”

n

n

nTom’s mind was sharp as he hurriedly said something nice.

n

n

nShoo!

n

n

nA crossbow arrow pierced through Jack’s chest, bringing with it a flower of blood.

n

n

nJack widened his eyes as his body fell backward.

n

n

n“Boss, spare me!”

n

n

nTom was frightened and hurriedly knelt down.

n

n

nAfter all, he wasn’t a warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. He was instantly scared and didn’t rush forward with his short spear.

n

n

n“Sorry, I don’t like to joke around.”

n

n

nThe moment he said that, another arrow flew out.

n

n

nTom was so frightened that he wet his pants as he slumped to the ground.

n

n

nThe arrow had brushed past his cheek.

n

n

n“Uh, sorry, I missed.”

n

n

nKlein smiled awkwardly. An arrow appeared in his hand and was quickly loaded.

n

n

nWithout waiting for Tom’s reaction, another arrow was fired.

n

n

nThis time, it hit him right in the forehead.

n

n

nBoth of them died.

n

n

n“Unfortunately, there are no souls.”

n

n

nKlein now understood that not all creatures had souls.

n

n

nThe two corpses could be stored in space and disintegrated.

n

n

nHowever, Klein wasn’t interested in this.

n

n

nHe hadn’t reduced his standards to the point of eating human flesh!

n

n

n“A short hair, a short knife, and two runic bases.”

n

n

n“How do I take out the things in the runic base?”

n

n

nKlein picked up his weapon and took out two runic base metal balls.

n

nSystem notification: Ownerless Runic Base detected. Do you wish to absorb it?

n

n

n“Eh, I can absorb it?”

n

n

nKlein took out his runic base and said, “Absorb it all.”

n

n

nThe two ownerless runic bases transformed into streams of light and entered Klein’s runic base.

n

n

nBuzz! The runic base took a light frame.

n

n

nThe number of runes on the surface increased.

n

n
