Chapter 706 The abandoned person
"You can choose to double all your attributes, but you will face an attack from a monster immediately after."
"Or you can choose a corresponding share of food and water, and once chosen, you will be invincible for one hour."
That's right!
Those were the only two choices!
William had a tight grip on human nature. He offered choices, but it was almost as if he hadn't, because everyone present, including Oscar, lacked the confidence that they could withstand a monster attack even with their attributes doubled.
There were fifteen monsters lurking nearby, all modified by William, making the game exponentially more difficult!
Choosing the first option would likely result in them being torn to shreds by these monsters quickly.
"It wasn't like this before!" Oscar shouted loudly. "William, you're doing this on purpose! You're using your administrator status for personal revenge!"
"Before, it was just a simple doubling of personal attributes!" Oscar said through clenched teeth. "Is this really okay for you to do?"
"Choice countdown begins, 10, 9, 8, 7..."
William couldn't be bothered to respond to Oscar's complaints and started the countdown.
"Damn it, lunatic!" Oscar cursed, and finally made his choice, "I choose the second one! The second one!"
"The second one!"
Without exception, everyone chose the second option.
For one invincible hour, each person received two bottles of water and three loaves of bread.
"We're only invincible for one hour, eat quickly!"
Most of the people who came from New York City would have brought some food and water with them, so the bread and water provided by William seemed somewhat insignificant.
The important thing was the one hour of invincibility.
Oscar's gaze swept over the people around him. Now he couldn't trust anyone,people were going mad suddenly, he couldn't trust anyone now.
The axe in Kevin's hands made him uneasy.
"Kevin, are you sure we want to fight to the death here?" Oscar, wielding a spear, clashed with Kevin briefly, and both men retreated several meters, maintaining a safe distance.
They both knew that fighting among themselves in such a place was just a waste of energy, and regardless of who won, it wouldn't end well for either.
Kevin raised his axe, looking coldly at Oscar, and said, "I don't want to waste time with you. I'm going to leave this place with Nora. You're the one who provoked William, and I don't want to be dragged down with you."
The group that had entered the Doors of Terror had realized something crucial—William was the administrator of the Doors of Terror.
They had entered the Doors of Terror because Oscar had deliberately provoked William.
Their current predicament was likely a result of being dragged into this due to Oscar's actions, leading to their being attacked by numerous terrifying monsters.
"Oscar, if it weren't for you, why would we even be in this place? You dared to insult William, you deserve what's coming to you!" Now that Kevin felt he was as strong as Oscar, he no longer needed to flatter him.
He thought it might be a good opportunity to curry favor with William.
"William, from the moment I saw you, I knew you were a handsome and powerful super-being. Only an idiot like Oscar would fail to recognize your greatness. If you're going to punish anyone, let it be him. I am willing to serve you in any way!"
Kevin shouted loudly, hoping to gain William's favor.
Oscar knew he had offended William, but there was no turning back now. What he needed to do was rescue Nora and get out of this cursed place alive!
"You can go, but Nora stays with me; I will protect her!" Oscar looked seriously at the female ghost Nora.
However, Nora clung to Kevin's sleeve, nervously saying, "Oscar, I'd rather go with Kevin. I've heard that you... you've offended the administrator of this Terror space. But rest assured... once you reach Washington, I will definitely repay you well..."
Oscar stared at Nora, realizing that surviving and getting out of here was indeed the priority.
"Go then!" Oscar felt confident in his own ability to survive. William was just an administrator,how much could he really mess things up?
Kevin, holding Nora's hand, left without looking back, and those who had followed Oscar also began to leave.
Indeed, they all realized that it was Oscar who had offended William. Staying with Oscar might mean that William would come after them too. Perhaps if they left Oscar, the monsters might stop following them.
At that moment, Oscar felt the sting of abandonment.
