This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 980 - 461_3

This time, even without a reminder from the commander, many had noticed their wristbands suddenly turning red, especially in densely populated areas—a single change to red could instantly spread, tinting swathes of others.

"Red alerts, make way and head to open spaces as much as possible!" the command staff shouted.

On the devices they were holding, the screens showed red dots spreading outward at a visible pace.

"The Titans seem to have figured out our wristband rules, they’re deliberately causing more people to turn red!" Blood Emperor said, frowning.

It wasn’t just Blood Emperor; many people grasped the intent of the Titans upon seeing this situation: they were actually exploiting human fear of parasitism to deliberately create chaos!

Lin Xue hurried to dive into the water to try to stop the Titan, but unfortunately, even though the Titan wasn’t particularly outstanding in other ways, its speed was exceptionally fast, and Grim Reaper’s skin couldn’t keep up.

Moreover, its target was clear: to avoid battle and exploit the bird’s-eye view to specifically target groups of people.

"More than one-tenth of the people have turned red now, and the proportion is still growing..."

The voice of the commander came through the communicator.

"This isn’t good, at this rate..."

Blood Emperor’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Previously the people of Divine Right could approach the Titan without fear of turning red because there were few red alerts at that time, and there was plenty of space within a hundred meters of the Titan to accommodate them.

However, the space for movement was ultimately limited. With more people turning red and cramming around the Titan, they were merely stepping stones for it. With a slight movement, the Titan could crush a large group of them.

Consequently, those who turned red later had to retreat far from the battlefield to avoid infecting others, easily achieving the effect of thinning their numbers.

Previously, the Titans scorned using parasitic tactics because they were at an advantage.

But now, with six Titans trapped and the only one outside engaged in a fierce battle, the Parasitic Beast became an undeniable trump card for turning the tide.

The very Parasitic Beast that had previously wiped out the Divine Race and the predecessors, the Fools, finally bared its fangs to humanity at this moment!

Indeed, in the wake of the Titan’s maneuvers, the nearby players who were turning red started to panic, unsure whether to leave or stay, while the uninfected players were caught in an agonizing dilemma.

To continue fighting under these circumstances, with the Titan’s actions, they were highly likely to become suspect carriers. And there was no consensus on how to handle the suspected carriers, with some conspiracy theorists believing that to completely eradicate the risk of spreading, humans might end up killing all suspected infectees afterward.

Although everyone had volunteered for this battle, if possible, no one wanted to voluntarily take on the risk of being put to the sword when the hunting hounds were done...

While the scene turned into complete disarray and most were hesitant.

Within the Divine Right’s team, Smile and Demon exchanged a glance, nodding to each other in unison.

Demon looked at the many players preparing to escape into the sky around him, his expression hardened, and he waved his hand behind him: "Action!"

At the command, all members of Divine Right dispersed, swiftly rushing toward nearby players.

They didn’t linger; upon nearing a crowd, they immediately changed direction, heading to the next target.

And the wristbands of every player they passed turned red immediately.

The dispersed actions of over five hundred people were much more efficient than a single Titan, and the command team suddenly noticed the red dots on the screen skyrocketing at an unimaginable speed!

At first, everyone thought the Titan had unleashed another Ultimate Move, but they soon discovered the truth.

"Divine Right, what are you doing?!"

Everyone was shocked, with a commander involuntarily roaring out loud.

No one expected that Divine Right would betray at such a critical moment and start deliberately infecting others, with their actions seeming to drag everyone else down with them!

"If many can’t make up their minds, let us decide for you!" Demon’s voice rang out in everyone’s earpieces.

His words immediately made many realize that this was a premeditated action!

Divine Right had anticipated such a scenario the day before and thought of a solution. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Their voluntary proximity to the Titan and collective ’red alert’ were precisely to facilitate dragging everyone down later!

"These are all warriors who are willing to take risks to stand up for humanity, you have no right to make decisions for them!" a commander shouted angrily.

"I don’t have the right, so any grievances or resentments after the act, direct them all at me." Demon’s voice rose coldly, "But for now, look up—there, at the distant labyrinth, our President, a young leader who sacrificed everything he has to give us this moment. Right now, every second is bought with his soul. You still have time to leisurely worry about being parasitized? Wouldn’t it be better to throw a few more Divine Arts at the Titan with that time?"

Demon’s speech momentarily silenced the previously noisy channel.

Many opened their mouths to say something but found themselves at a loss for words.

After an awkward silence that lasted for a dozen seconds, Lin Xue’s voice suddenly broke through, ending the uncomfortable quiet.

"In fact, the Divine Beast isn’t as terrifying as many people imagine!"

"There’s a limit to how many larvae of the Divine Beast can exist within a living organism, even one as large as the Titan, which can at most carry ten or so Divine Beast larvae in its body."

"Moreover, when a Divine Beast parasitizes a new host, it takes at least a day or more to nurture a new Divine Beast. That means of our twenty thousand people, no matter how many turn red, only about a dozen will actually be parasitized. Also, the more people turn red, the lower the chance of parasitism for each individual."

"So, rather than all of us being forced to bind ourselves, let’s unbind together!"
