Chapter 193: Trade Value

As the battle continued to rage on in the town, the entire central area of the supply point had already been razed to the ground.

However, Medusa\'s team was still lingering on the edge of the town.

"How is this possible? Why are there no cards?" Medusa had already searched through many of the buildings, but she wasn\'t even able to find a single points card, let alone any skill cards. "There should be tons of cards in such a massive supply point!"

"Could it be that someone\'s already looted this place before us?" Anaconda speculated. "Maybe another team already scoured the area long before any of us arrived."

"There are six anomalies here! How could anyone have possibly taken all of the cards without alerting even a single one of them?" Belcher tapped Anaconda\'s head in exasperation as she spoke. "What is inside this thick skull of yours? Even if someone skilled in stealth and concealment came through here, there\'s no way they could\'ve been able to take every single one of the cards with six anomalies in the area!"

"That\'s true..." Anaconda stuck out her tongue as an awkward smile appeared on her face. "If no one\'s looted this place before us, then there had to have been no cards here in the first place! The director didn\'t put any cards in here, and this is all just a prank!"

"The director wouldn\'t do something like that." Medusa inspected her surroundings with tightly furrowed brows. "Someone must\'ve snuck in and stolen all of the cards while we were keeping the six anomalies occupied. That person has to be extremely adept at concealment, given that they were able to steal the cards under my telegnosis. Rattlesnake, see if you can track them down. If they haven\'t gotten far away from here, you should still be able to find them."

"Yes, Mistress." Rattlesnake began to shake her strange tail again as she spoke, releasing a burst of peculiar vibrations through the surrounding area, which quickly reciprocated her with some information. "There\'s someone here..."

"Where are they?"

"They seem to be with the four mecha brothers. The vibrations are telling me that there are five people there."

"Let\'s go take a look."

……

On the other side of the supply point.

Standing in front of the four mecha brothers was a steam robot, and it was clear from their vastly contrasting designs that they weren\'t from the same team. However, none of them seemed to have any intention of elevating the encounter into a conflict. Instead, they seemed to be negotiating with one another.

"Are you sure there\'s an exit card here?"

The four mecha brothers were extremely excited. At this point, they were already at the end of the road.

Their psychic power reserves were severely depleted, and their bodies were heavily damaged, so they were completely spent.

They were no longer thinking about making a quick buck, and they certainly weren\'t striving to win the battle royale. At this point, all they wanted was to survive, and an exit card was the key to their survival.

Only an exit card could allow them to leave this game, but everyone knew that the director really liked to see slaughter and bloodshed, so it was always the case that very few exit cards were placed into the map.

"Surely it\'s not unusual for there to be an exit card in such a large supply point."

The steam robot that was negotiating with them was naturally none other than Hook. He was a coward, but he was also a very smart person.

He knew that in this battle royale, if his teammates were to die, that would be no different from a death sentence for him.

Hene, he had to do everything in his power to help them.

While everyone had been busy fighting the anomalies in the supply point, he had used his concealment ability to sneak into the town and take all of the cards.

After collecting all of the cards, he noticed that Adam was struggling in his battle.

Oni no Miko and Diamond had clearly claimed the upper hand, and Adam\'s chances of beating them on his own were extremely slim.

Hence, he needed some allies.

Hook was next to useless in battle, so his only choice was to recruit allies from elsewhere.

"So we\'re just supposed to believe you when you tell us you have an exit card?" The four mecha brothers weren\'t fools, and they wanted proof to support Hook\'s claims. "If you want us to help your teammates, then you have to show us some sincerity."

"If I show you the exit card, you\'ll just rob me right away. I\'ve already hidden the card somewhere that no one will be able to find, so you can keep dreaming if you think that you can take it by force!" Hook was definitely afraid, but thankfully, his robotic face betrayed no emotion, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling. "I\'m not very good in battle, but I\'m an expert when it comes to hiding things! No one can find the things that I hide! Let\'s not waste any more time here. Are you going to help or not? This is an opportunity for you."

This was indeed an opportunity.

Given the current state of the four mecha brothers, they had virtually no hope of surviving in the battle royale.

It was no exaggeration to say that an exit card was their only chance at survival.

"Don\'t listen to his nonsense!"

All of a sudden, Medusa\'s voice rang out, immediately following which she and her teammates crashed through the window into the room.

"If he really has an exit card, then why hasn\'t he used it himself? It\'s clear that his teammates are already done for, why hasn\'t he escaped?"

"I\'m not a coward!" Hook countered in a furious voice.

"Is that right?"

Medusa suddenly sped up as she slithered over to Hook, then leaned in close to him as her beautiful features suddenly took on a terrifying appearance.

Even though she didn\'t actually use her petrification ability, the mere threat was enough to make Hook stumble back in horror before falling onto his backside.

"You certainly seem like a coward." Medusa leaned back as her face returned to its normal appearance. "Do you really have the cards?"

"Yes, and there really is an exit card. Aside from that, there are many other useful cards as well."

"So why haven\'t you escaped?"

"I was forced into this by my teammates. If I escape on my own, they have people waiting on the outside that would get me killed," Hook replied in a truthful manner.

Through their interactions, Hook could tell that Jiang Junior was very fond of Nie Yiyi. If Nie Yiyi were to perish, then Jiang Junior would definitely come after him with the help of the Green Gang.

Unfortunately, he wasn\'t a powerful adapter like Oni no Miko, and he was unable to fend for himself.

Without his teammates, he wouldn\'t be able to survive in Shadow City even if no one were sent to kill him.

Medusa nodded with a satisfied expression upon hearing this response.

"That sounds like the truth to me. But why have you come to these four instead of us? With our powers, surely we\'d make much better allies than these four."

Indeed, the overall power of Medusa\'s team far exceeded that of the four mecha brothers. In fact, even Medusa alone was already slightly more powerful than the four brothers combined.

"That\'s true, but I have to be realistic with my expectations. They\'ve been driven into a corner, while you and your team could choose to leave at any time. If I turn to you, there\'s a very good chance that you would refuse to help me, and if I say something wrong, I could end up losing my life," Hook replied with a resigned expression. "They\'ll definitely risk their lives for an exit card, but I can\'t guarantee the same for you."

"Wow, you\'re definitely smarter than you look!" Medusa was rather impressed by Hook\'s analysis. "You\'re an interesting little guy! We\'re happy to help as long as you give us your cards."
