Chapter 709 Why were William’s questions always so tricky?

Oscar and Nora wandered around the Terror space for half a day, encountering some bizarre Wraiths along the way.

However, these Wraiths weren’t very powerful, and the two of them managed to deal with them together.

Then they ran into two others who had entered with Oscar.

“You must have heard too, only five of us can get out alive. Since everyone’s strength is more or less the same, the best strategy is for five of us to form an alliance, kill the others, and then all five of us in the alliance can make it out alive.” Oscar, who had been somewhat of a leader before, quickly explained the situation to the other two.

It was two against two, and the other two didn’t have a sure chance of winning. Most importantly, they didn’t completely trust each other. Hearing what Oscar proposed, they thought it sounded good.

If they could find one more person to form a stable alliance of five, then they really might all make it out alive, and with increased strength, why not go for it?

Normally, members of an alliance wouldn’t betray each other, unless one of them could quickly kill the other four. Otherwise, they would become the target of a group attack, lose the trust of the others, and bring about their own destruction.

All of this was within William’s expectations.

Besides, Walker had also entered.

However, Walker came in later, and the alert he heard was a synthetic voice, not knowing that William had already replaced the system administrator of the Doors of Terror.

Walker was strong in his own right, and William didn’t target him specifically, so surviving in this Terror space wasn’t a problem for him.

William was strolling around in the Terror space when Walker saw him and shouted, “William!”

Pretending not to know, William raised an eyebrow and said, “How did you get in here too?”

Walker opened his mouth, then finally said haughtily, “If you dare to come in, why wouldn’t I?”

“Is that so?” William knew well that if Walker really wanted to come in, he could have done so before.

Now, with the Earth in chaos, many ambitious individuals preferred to stay outside to help ordinary people and slay mutated creatures, waiting for the situation to stabilize before entering the Doors of Terror to explore.

The outside world was more like the main quest in a game, while the Doors of Terror was like a side quest.

With the main quest incomplete, many were reluctant to venture into side quests.

Walker stepped forward with a grin and said, “Of course, as your big brother, I’m pretty worried about you. After all, you’re not that strong, and coming to a place like this, especially having to deal with that idiot Oscar, might be a bit too much for you.”

“Don’t worry, your big brother is here, you won’t die!” Walker looked William over and said, “I just heard something like a system voice saying that only five people can leave alive, but it also boosted everyone’s strength to a similar level. You must have gotten stronger, right? How come your power level hasn’t changed?”

William replied, “I just feel a lot stronger, but my power level hasn’t changed.”

“Hmm, power levels probably can’t be directly increased. No change in power level but stronger physically is still good,” Walker said. “How much stronger do you feel?”

William said quietly, “I feel like I could punch through this world.”

Walker burst into laughter, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere. “Haha, you’re getting ahead of yourself! Punch through the whole world, go on, give it a try!”

William shook his head, “Nah, I’m afraid if I punch too hard, I might break this space and that wouldn’t be fun.”

Walker nodded and said, “William, do you know what I admire most about you?” ReaD lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)(𝒆)lbin.c/o/m Only

William responded, “My good looks and talent!”

Walker laughed loudly, “I admire how you can talk nonsense with a straight face and your incredible narcissism.”

William pondered, “I’ve always been very serious when I speak.”

“Sure, sure! Let’s get moving and find a place to hide,” Walker said. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure we get out alive.”

William squinted, “Shouldn’t we be looking for three more people to form an alliance? A five-person alliance would be the best, right?”

He believed Walker must understand his point, or rather, Walker had probably thought of this before.

“An alliance? With Oscar and his rabble? I don’t trust them,” Walker scoffed disdainfully.

As they walked, William said, “Now that everyone’s strength is about the same, if it’s just the two of us and we run into their group of five, wouldn’t we be doomed?”

Walker smirked coldly, “Strength about the same? Do you believe I could kill you instantly?”

William shook his head, “I don’t believe it!”

No sooner had he spoken than a throwing knife flew out of Walker’s sleeve, stopping less than an inch from William’s throat.

William didn’t move an inch,he knew Walker wouldn’t kill him.

“See, you’ve gotten stronger too, but it’s not so easy to close the gap in combat ability,” Walker said as he put away the throwing knife, smiling. “Do you know Yondu Udonta and Bullseye from the Marvel Cinematic Universe?”

William nodded expressionlessly: “Marvel movies.”

Walker proudly declared, “I now possess the combined powers of those two. I can manipulate throwing knives to attack from any angle at will. This is my Celestial Blade Art! I can even slay gods with it, so what’s cutting down a few nobodies? Even if those five teamed up, I could take them all out with a single throwing knife.”

As he said this, Walker tilted his head back, but sneakily glanced at William from the corner of his eye.

Damn, I’ve really put on a perfect act!

Give me a shocked expression, now!

However, William, with a deadpan face, simply said indifferently, “Well.”

Damn it!

Walker was frustrated!

Putting on a perfect act, and this guy still acts so nonchalant!

Such an attitude was really annoying.

Walker took a deep breath and thought to himself, one day I’ll shock this stoic-faced William.

The thrill of an easily earned shock isn’t satisfying.

Only when I can make stoic-faced William genuinely shocked will it feel truly exhilarating!

“Stick close to me!” Walker put aside his complex emotions and carefully surveyed their surroundings, saying, “We can definitely hide for now. If they can’t find us, they’ll inevitably turn on each other.”

Walker chuckled darkly, “Their alliance isn’t reliable. Guess what

—if in the end there are only seven people left, and five of them are together, do you think three of them would turn on the other two? This is a real test of human nature.”

However, William approached it from another angle, “Didn’t you just say you could take on five by yourself? Then we don’t really need to hide, do we?”

Huh?

Walker was momentarily stunned. Why were William’s questions always so tricky?

He was confident, not delusional. His earlier claim of taking on five was just bravado, unless those five were weaklings with no combat ability like William.

But clearly, that was unlikely!

“I think it’s better to wait for them to wear each other out. When they’re exhausted, we can strike them down. Wouldn’t that be much better?” Walker finally managed to dial back his bravado, avoiding some awkwardness.
