Prison Island

Chapter 20 In vain
Gao Xin was a little disappointed when he saw that only the arm was chopped off.

Both sides were now attacking high and defending low. The opponent had an arm broken, but he didn't even make a sound. His remaining power was still there, so he didn't dare to pursue him rashly.

He just said, "What's the matter? Don't you want an axe?"

Silver Hand said hoarsely: "You guy, you know I'm blind, but you still want to deceive me and attack me?"

Gao Xin sighed, "Didn't you lie to me first?"

This time, no one mentioned giving him an axe to ask for peace, they just started chopping!

Before, the main reason was that Silver Hand was too scary. No matter how hard you hit him, he couldn't be killed. His body was burned by flames and he looked like a fierce ghost in a nightmare.

But he walked down leisurely and told them how great his potential was.

Many people present were really scared by him. They felt that even with the axe, Gao Xin was no match for them, so they all wanted to make peace.

But just now, Silver Hand showed his fear of the axe and the fact that he couldn't see.

Gao Xin jumped up even more violently and broke the opponent's last arm.

Judging from the situation, facing Gao Xin wielding an axe, Silver Hand seems to have no confidence in killing them for the time being.

It would be nice if the stalemate ended now.

Silver Hand said in a deep voice: "In fact, I really promised you that I will not regret it. Killing you is meaningless to me."

Gao Xin sighed and said, "Really? Then why didn't you mention the collar?"

“Now, I’m a cat.”

Everyone was stunned. Yes, Gao Xin is a cat.

Meimei reacted and growled at Silverhand, "Only if you are a cat at the end of the settlement can you get the hunting reward. And you are a mouse now, even if you have hunted many mice before, you can only get your own 100 points of survival reward in the end."

"Now even if there are eight of us, we can promise to give you 800 indulgences afterwards, but the reward for the nine people you killed before will be gone. That's a full 900 points of reward. Are you really willing to let them go?"

"You are a greedy person. You want to kill people even if the gains are the same, let alone the losses are so huge?"

"You didn't ask for the collar because you know there's no way we can take it off ourselves! You have to take it off yourself!"

"But how can I let you put your hand on my neck? Isn't that like giving you my life?"

"Even if Gao Xin agrees to do this, you still have concerns because you know he has that mechanical axe in his hand."

"If you get close, he might kill you... Then you must ask Gao Xin to give you the axe first."

"This is a dead end. In fact, there is no way you and him can be at peace..."

Her words made everyone suddenly understand.

Silver Hand said calmly, "That's basically right, but have you ever thought that I really don't want to kill him?"

"Although it's a bit of a loss, I can accept it if I can get the big axe."

Everyone was stunned. Yes, he had said before that the axe was worth one thousand points.

Silverhand continued, "That's why I said I didn't take everything. I had to at least get the big axe to not be at a loss."

Gao Xin added: "Not only will I not lose anything, but if I give you the axe, I will no longer be a threat, and you can come up and take my collar... and then you can get back the 900 points you originally lost."

Silver Hand sighed and said, "No, I can still get another 200 points. I only killed the Korean man carrying the knife and ate the corpse."

"As for the short guy and the bearded guy, I didn't kill them. They are still hanging on."

"Why do you think I came in with such serious injuries?"

"The flesh and blood of the glass man is useless, but if those two people die, I can use their bodies to restore myself. Even if I can't restore myself to my full strength, it will be enough to easily deal with you."

Everyone was shocked. What? There were still two radiators alive outside?

This is to save it for after becoming a cat, and then kill it, so that you can get an extra 200 points.

"You are such a greedy guy!"

Meimei was shocked and said, "You could obviously recover from your injuries before dealing with Gao Xin, but you came here with such serious injuries just to get an extra 200 points of reward. I really don't know what to say to you..."

"In that case, I can no longer trust you! You will definitely kill Gao Xin and take the cat's collar."

Silver Hand said coldly: "How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to kill him?"

Everyone pursed their lips. They didn't expect him to repeatedly emphasize that he didn't want to kill Gao Xin, even if one of his hands was chopped off, he still said so.

He did have the power to take off the collar without killing Gao Xin.

Could it be that he really changed? Decided to let them go? Indeed, as long as he could get the collars, killing them would not bring any extra benefits.

Gao Xin stared at Silver Hand and said, "You want me to give you the axe for your sense of security, but where is my sense of security?"

"Does it mean that I have no choice but to lay down my weapon and put my neck in your hands in order to have the chance to survive?"

Meimei bit her lip and said, yes, that’s the key point, so she said it was a dead end.

There is basically no possibility of peace between the two.

Silverhand laughed softly and said, "Then how do you want me to give you a sense of security? Glass man, I don't have any hands now... You can take off the collar yourself and throw it to me, that's fine too."

Gao Xin frowned and said, "Really? How are you going to put it on now that you don't have any hands?"

The silver hand raised his broken right arm. The arm was not cut off at the shoulder, but half of it, with the bones exposed.

He said seriously, "As long as I can get the collar into my hands, I will pry it onto my neck even if I have to use only bones."

He made no secret of his desire for indulgences!
Meimei was thinking about it, and suddenly she was stunned, her eyes shining.

"Wait a minute, it's not that the collar can't be taken off, but it requires the combined efforts of at least two adult men to open it."

"Now besides Gao Xin, there is another person who can take action..."

"Bald man, come out here quickly!"

Everyone was shocked. Yes, there was another person!
At the same time, they all shouted: "Brother Guang, Brother Guang, come out quickly!"

"We need you here. If you come, we can all survive!"

Everyone was screaming and calling for the bald man, but after shouting for a long time, there was no movement around.

"Damn it, why doesn't he come out?" Su Le said anxiously.

Gao Xin sighed, "If he can't see the situation here, there's no way he'll come out just by hearing your shouting."

"And if he could see the situation here, he wouldn't come out."

"Because he would think that Silver Hand probably doesn't have the energy to look for him anymore. He's hiding so well, and he can survive as long as he waits until the time is up. Why take the risk?"

When everyone thought about it and realized that this was the truth, they were immediately annoyed.

Su Le said angrily: "Damn it, this guy only thinks about himself. If he comes out to help us now, maybe we can all survive!"

Silver Hand said loudly: "Who said I don't have the energy to find him? Why don't we go find him together now?"

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.

Then he was ecstatic, Silver Hand's words were so sincere!
If he really only wanted the collar and didn't want human life, he could have cooperated with Gao Xin and they could have searched together.

After searching it out, have the bald man and Gao Xin work together to take off the collar and throw it to Silver Hand, then he can get his 900 points.

When they get out, everyone will give him 900 points in total. If he wants, he can also put a mouse collar on the radiated person lying on the ground and kill him to get another 200 points.

Finally, adding the survival reward, you get 2100 points, which is exactly the reward for the old cat to kill all the mice and win normally. In addition, you can get a mechanical battle axe as a trophy. In short, it is a big profit.

Silver Hand said calmly: "As long as you can take off the collar for me, I really won't kill you."

"I have already broken through two levels in this game. If I can get 2100 points, I have no reason to refuse."

"Well, I feel your sincerity." Gao Xin nodded slightly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they had reached an agreement.

If we really fight to the death, the result is unpredictable. The SR potential is too incredible. I am still scared. It would be best if it can end peacefully.

So, the two people who were fighting desperately before actually started to cooperate again.

Gao Xin searched the first and second floors, and Yin Shou searched the third and fourth floors.

"Baldy, you'd better come out now!" Suler kept yelling.

The others also joined in and told the bald man that it was Silver Hand and Gao Xin who were going to look for him.

But the bald man hid very well and just wouldn't come out.

Gao Xin held the axe and watched Yinshou go up the stairs. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and immediately started searching.

The bearded man had searched the entire building upside down, even chopping a lot of things into pieces, but still couldn't find the bald guy. Where could this guy be?

"Could he have found a hidden area?"

"Could it be outside?" Meimei suggested as the others were also looking around.

Gao Xin walked out with an axe in his hand. In the courtyard, he first checked the condition of the three radiators.

The strong man holding the knife was dead, his body was shattered into pieces, just a pile of debris.

The bearded man and the short man were also skinny, with their hands and feet rotten.

But upon closer inspection, he was indeed not dead.

His chest was still rising and falling slightly, and his pupils were not completely dilated, but just paralyzed there.

Gao Xin did not rush to find the bald man, but first dragged the two dying radiation users into the mansion and hid them in a hidden small room.

Everyone understands his behavior. Who knows, Silver Hand said he was going to find the bald man, but actually went around in circles to find these two people?
After all, Silver Hand could kill these two men and recover by eating their corpses. It wouldn't take much, just 10% or 20% of his strength, and then they would be at the mercy of others.

Next, Gao Xin searched everywhere on the first and second floors.

He carried the huge axe with him all the time, and it was really heavy. It made his hands and feet sore and it consumed a lot of his energy.

Finally, he found the trace in the courtyard, under a tree near the gate.

"This tree...isn't it empty?"

Gao Xin observed carefully, then chopped it down with an axe.

He had already studied how to use this axe. It was very simple. There was a hidden groove on the handle. When he pulled it hard, it was just like pulling a trigger. The power source on the mechanical axe suddenly emitted a faint blue halo and sent out a shock wave.

"Buzz!"

Gao Xin was completely moved by the giant axe, and with a loud bang, the axe hit the big tree next to him.

"boom!"

The blow was so powerful that it sent wood chips flying and left deep grooves on the spot.

The axe blade was very sharp, and fortunately it was chopped at an angle, so it did not embed again.

Of course, he also deliberately avoided the angle that might kill the people inside. "It's indeed hollow..." Gao Xin smiled. With this chop, a hole was cut out from the bottom of the tree. It was pitch black inside, and it was obviously hollow.

The hole was very deep, and the bottom seemed to be not soil but steel plate.

Seeing this, Gao Xin reached in with the axe, started it again, and directly hit the steel plate.

"Bang!" The steel plate twisted.

"Come out yourself!" Gao Xin shouted.

"It's you? Why are you here? What are you doing?" The bald man's voice sounded muffled, and it sounded like he was coming from under the steel plate.

"Come out, or I'll set fire." Gao Xin shouted.

"What the hell..."

"Bang!" Gao Xin hit it again, and the steel plate cracked directly.

"No, no, no, I'm coming out."

Gao Xin waited silently, thinking that it was no wonder that he couldn't find the bald man, he was hiding so well.

First, the bearded man just searched the whole building but didn't look for the main courtyard area.

After all, there was a fight going on in front of the courtyard at that time.

What's more, this tree is hollow, who could easily have thought of this?

"Crack!"

The steel plate was lifted up, and a bald head came out. He then pushed open a small wooden door from inside the tree trunk.

Wow, when this wooden door is closed, it is integrated with the tree trunk, fitting perfectly, and there is no visible flaw at all.

After opening it, looking through the small door, the hole is very deep and connects to the underground.

There is another room there, which is probably very big and can hide at least dozens of people, like a rat's nest.

This is simply a super-enhanced version of the previous guy who was in the dark under the lamp.

Unless the last remaining cats are causing damage everywhere and simply cut down all the trees, it will be very difficult to find them.

"Is this the so-called hidden area? What a trap." Gao Xin looked around.

There's more than enough space for 20 people to hide here, but the location is right at the gate...

In other words, it is impossible to hide in it at the beginning, otherwise it is like entering a "rat's nest" in front of cats and dogs.

What about afterwards? It was hard to hide inside. Silver Hand had been fighting with the other two in the front yard for a long time. It was impossible for him to hide in the tree in front of them, right?
If you want to make good use of this hidden area, you need to spend some time thinking about it.

Even if you manage to hide there successfully, there's no guarantee that the cat will go crazy and start digging deep into the ground and chopping down trees everywhere.

In short, this is a place that seems hidden, but will be exposed sooner or later.

"You...what the hell are you doing? You...you became a cat?"

The bald man looked at Gao Xin and was very angry, but when he saw Gao Xin's two collars, he was stunned.

Seeing that he had no idea what was going on, Gao Xin quickly explained it to him.

"Not only did you become a cat, but you also worked with that Silver Hand?"

"You two are looking for me together? I'm..."

The bald man was stunned. He never expected such a thing to happen.

He had finally found a perfect place, but it was found out for this reason.

"That guy is determined to kill us all, isn't he? How can I agree to that? He is lying to you!"

The bald man exclaimed after hearing the situation.

Then he suggested: "Why don't you not go back? Come hide in here with me... There's a clock inside, and it's close to the door. When the time comes, we can just run away."

Gao Xin frowned and asked instead: "When did you find this place?"

"I discovered it when I was in the yard at the beginning." said the bald man.

Gao Xin looked at him. It turned out that this guy had already discovered this place when he was searching for dog collars in the front yard at the beginning of the game, but he just didn't show any expression.

Later, when he heard Gao Xin talking about the hidden area, he pretended to be surprised.

Later, he found out that Silver Hand had torn up the agreement and started a killing spree, so he simply abandoned the newcomers who followed him and found an opportunity to sneak in here alone.

No wonder Silver Hand was able to easily kill five people when he reached the third floor. That was all because he was a newcomer who trusted the bald man, was ruthlessly abandoned, and did not have time to find a good place.

Maybe he deliberately harmed those newcomers to lure Silver Hand to the third floor and give him a chance to drill into the tree.

"What do you think? Don't go back, let's hide on our own. According to what you said, the Silver Hand definitely doesn't have the energy to go around looking for us and cause destruction. Our chances of survival are very high!" The bald man became more and more excited as he spoke.

Although there was a cut in the trunk, they were at the bottom and could find stones to cover themselves.

Given Silverhand's current condition, there's a real chance that both of them could survive.

"There are seven more people in the hall."

The bald man said disdainfully: "Why bother with them?"

Gao Xin was too lazy to explain too much and just chopped the tree with another axe.

There was a loud bang, and this time it was a flat cut, and since it was hollow inside, it went straight through.

With a creak, the tree fell to the ground.

"You!" The bald man looked at the giant axe with fear and envy, and could only nod: "I'll do it, I'll do it..."

Gao Xin nodded and pointed at his neck: "You pull one end and I'll pull the other side. Don't think crookedly."

After all, it would be dangerous for Gao Xin to cooperate with him. This guy would definitely have bad intentions, so he had to cut down the trees first to deter him.

The bald man nodded, put his hand on Gao Xin's neck and held the collar tightly.

Gao Xin fell to one side, and the two gradually exerted their strength, but soon Gao Xin called a halt: "No, no, my neck is going to break!"

Before, he and Su Le worked together to pry it apart, with both of them standing on both sides and using their hands and all their strength.

But now the cat collar is on Gao Xin's neck, and the force is on his neck...

"Put down the axe, protect your neck with your hands and try again?" said the bald man.

Gao Xin's face darkened as he suddenly asked, "Do you have a rope?"

The bald man shook his head.

Gao Xin glanced at the mansion and said, "Let's go in first. There are others here."

Under his coercion, the two men walked back to the hall of the mansion, and everyone was delighted to see the bald man.

But after hearing that the two of them couldn't be separated, the corners of his mouth twitched. What should I do? There is no one else. Everyone else is disabled.

Suddenly Liu Xu raised his hand and said, "My hand is not hurt!"

She was the last one to be found by the Bearded Man, who only broke her legs casually, and then ran out to kill Silver Hand.

Therefore, Liu Xu was the only one among all the caught mice who had no injuries on his body.

Immediately, she stretched out her hand to hold one side, and the bald man held the other side, and the two of them pulled together.

As a result, Liu Xu was dragged away, Gao Xin stumbled a few steps, and the bald man sat down on the ground...

"This won't work. The catkins are too light and have little power. You must add your own strength." Meimei said anxiously.

Gao Xin knew this too, but this required him to free up his hands.

Well, let’s give it a try.

Gao Xin thrust the giant axe in front of Sule, held the collar with both hands, turned around and said to the bald man: "Come again!"

The bald man immediately pulled, and Gao Xin tried his best to lean to the other side, while Liu Xu also held on to Gao Xin's side tightly.

She didn't need to pull, after all, her lower body was slumped on the ground, and she had already used all her strength.

"How? Did you get it?" Silver Hand came over at this time.

His terrifying appearance frightened the bald man, who thought he had seen a ghost.

Their legs went weak and the group of people fell into a heap.

"Damn it, if only I could move." Su Le was very anxious. Although he looked skinny, he might be the strongest among all the mice. He had worked together with Gao Xin to open it before.

Seeing Silver Hand coming, Gao Xin stared at Silver Hand for a while and suddenly frowned.

Then he yelled, "Don't stop, come on, get more people!"

The crowd came again, and this time everyone came up in a row, working together, using all their body weight to add weight to the people on both sides.

Unfortunately, most people were unable to help, and instead weighed down Liu Xu so much that she couldn't breathe and her hands were scratched.

"Ahhhhh!" Gao Xin tried his best.

Finally, everyone saw the collar, which had been opened enough for the neck to pass through.

But when Gao Xin tried to move his neck out, the gap suddenly closed a little, cutting Gao Xin's neck and causing bleeding.

The two were able to break apart in the first place because they put their feet against each other and used all their strength.

Now, after piecing together all the pieces and barely prying them apart, Gao Xin was in a delicate state. As one of the force points, he was unable to move his neck.

Everyone roared to do it again.

But they still failed, and even the willow catkins slipped out of their hands, and suddenly a group of people fell into a pile again.

"Fuck! Damn it!"

"Why can't it be opened? Why can't it be opened?!"

Sule roared, anxious and angry, and banged his head on the ground.

Gao Xin lowered his head and laughed miserably, then slowly got up.

A group of them were trying to break off a collar in such an embarrassing way that the people behind the crystal ball must have burst out laughing.

After hearing this, Silver Hand also laughed. His vocal cords were damaged, so his laugh was extremely terrifying.

The others were also in despair and on the verge of mental collapse.
