n

n

n“What? You’ve been together with him for so long, and there’s no progress at all?”

n

nQiao Ling was surprised and she covered her mouth in disbelief.

n

n“Sister’s figure is so good, but Fang Heng can withstand it? That’s impossible…”

n

nLucia also felt wronged. She lowered her head and silently used the whetstone to sharpen her short dagger.

n

nQiao Ling suddenly thought of something and looked at Lucia with sympathy.

n

n“Sister, Fang Heng isn’t… from Nantong University’s School of Infrastructure, is he?”

n

n“Huh? What?”

n

nLucia looked up, her face full of bafflement. She didn’t understand what Qiao Ling was saying.

n

n“Sister Lucia, didn’t you notice that the relationship between Colonel Fang Heng and First Lieutenant Mo Jiawei is not so simple?”

n

nQiao Ling explained in a serious tone, “It seems that they are always together during every operation, right? Do you think… they are?”

n

n“Ah? The two of them?”

n

nQiao Ling nodded crazily.

n

n“Something’s wrong!”

n

nLucia kept silent, lowered her head and continued to sharpen her knife.

n

nHer sharp and cold eyes were reflected on the shiny blade.

n

n“Don’t give up! Sister is so charming. Even a gay can be straightened by you!”

n

n“Oh right, I spent a lot of effort to find the tea ceremony last time. Did you see it?”

n

n“Does it work? I tried it last time, but it didn’t work well.”

n

n“Yes, yes! It works! You have to persevere! Sister Lucia!”

n

nQiao Ling nodded, “Just like what I said last time, a man is a creature that likes to be worshipped. Praise him, praise him fiercely! I don’t believe that he can control himself!”

n

nLucia nodded and muttered to herself, “Praise him fiercely, praise him fiercely…”

n

nDavid walked in.

n

n“Lucia, Colonel Fang Heng just came to look for me. He looked very anxious and said that he needs your help. Do you have time to go find him? He just left.”

n

nHearing Fang Heng’s name, Lucia suddenly stood up and clenched the dagger in her hand.

n

n“Okay! I’ll go over now!”

n

nQiao Ling waved at Lucia, “Sister Lucia! Good luck! Remember! Praise fiercely!”

n

n…

n

n“Sir, we have already compared some of the images we have captured with the database.”

n

n“Most of the players who appeared in the cave are often active in the black market.”

n

n“We have confirmed that the Night Owl organization hired these players behind the scenes. We suspect that they are excavating inside the iron mine. The target may be a special crystallized creature.”

n

nZhang Zhe did not speak. He carefully flipped through the files in his hands.

n

nHe had experienced a similar mission in the old district.

n

nThe crystallized creature and main storyline mission had a lot of relevance, but this mission was not important.

n

nIt was equivalent to a relatively late-stage side mission.

n

nCompleting the mission could increase the completion rate of the main storyline and change the direction of the outcome.

n

nThe prerequisite was that the player needed to complete the main storyline mission!

n

nIf the main storyline mission could not be completed, then no matter how many side missions there were, it would be a waste.

n

nThe mission difficulty was quite high. For the Federation, now was not the best time to trigger the mission.

n

nIn addition, the crystal ore related to the mission was also very valuable for mining.

n

nThat was the raw ore of the late-stage high-level energy crystal!

n

nHowever, the extraction and synthesis of the high-level energy crystal were very complicated, and it was also very troublesome to gather, so it was not needed in the early stages…

n

nFor various reasons, the Federation was unable to take out so much manpower and material resources in the early stages to mine ore resources that were not needed for at least half a year.

n

nHowever, the Federation was also very clear about the importance of the blue crystal ore, which was why they had chosen to establish a shelter in the nearby desert area and send people to guard the crystal mine area.

n

nZhang Zhe did not expect Night Owl to make a move so quickly, and it was aimed at the crystal mine.

n

n“Sir, the reserve fighters have already gathered in the shelter and are on standby. They are ready to attack at any time and capture all the members of the Night Owl organization who participated in this operation.”

n

n“No, wait a little longer.”

n

n“Do we still have to wait?” The vice-captain of the temporary combat team, Tang Chu, frowned slightly. “Sir, if we wait any longer, will there be any accidents? If the ore is collected by Night Owl in advance or destroyed…”

n

n“There’s no rush. Crystal ores are different from ordinary ores.”

n

n“Different?”

n

nZhang Zhe shook his head and did not answer.

n

nHe did not feel like explaining to these people, nor did he want to explain to them.

n

nAs it involved part of the main storyline mission, once he explained, his King of Gods’ points and personal survival points would be deducted.

n

nThe more information was leaked, the greater the deduction. After deducting his points, they would deduct his basic attributes.

n

nNo one could withstand such a punishment.

n

nA Federation soldier knocked on the door and walked into the room.

n

n“Captain, it’s an emergency. The investigation team found a large number of zombies moving along Highway No. 702. There are about 400 to 500 of them.”

n

nTang Chu frowned and looked at Zhang Zhe.

n

nAt this time? Could it be related to the Night Owl organization?

n

nZhang Zhe immediately put down the file in his hand.

n

n“Take me there to have a look!”

n

nEveryone quickly came to the sentry towers.

n

nZhang Zhe took the binoculars and looked at the highway.

n

nOn the road, a large group of zombies were huddled together, staggering along the road.

n

n“Their target is not the shelter.”

n

nNoticing that the target of this wave of wandering zombies was not the shelter, Tang Chu heaved a sigh of relief.

n

nZhang Zhe frowned.

n

nHe felt that there was something wrong with this wave of zombies!

n

nHowever, he couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong.

n

nOn the surface, everything looked normal.

n

nA Federation soldier said, “It should be a random zombie tide. It will disperse soon. If we don’t provoke it, we won’t be attacked.”

n

n“Sir, should we call our people back?”

n

n“No, we don’t need to. Send a few more people to follow them. Ask them to check the crystal mine again.”

n

nZhang Zhe was a little uneasy. He decided to send a few people to follow them to take a look.

n

n“Yes!”

n

nThe Federation soldier saluted and was about to go downstairs to pass on the order.

n

n“Sir, sir…” At the side, a recruit’s lips trembled. “Look over there, what’s That?”

n

nEveryone followed the recruit’s gaze and looked into the distance.

n

nA faint red colour appeared on the horizon.

n

nThe red colour gradually formed a line.

n

nZhang Zhe’s pupils constricted.

n

nLickers?!

n

nHundreds of Lickers gathered together and quickly swept across the road!

n

nFrom afar, it looked like a red wave.

n

nThey were heading straight for the shelter!

n

nThe players on the sentry tower felt their scalps go numb.

n

nSo many Lickers?!

n

nSeveral thoughts flashed through Zhang Zhe’s mind.

n

nWere the Lickers controlled by the Night Owl organization?

n

nThey were heading for the shelter?

n

nWhy?

n

nWas this part of Night Owl’s plan?

n

nNight Owl’s goal was the shelter? Then what was the situation at the crystal mine?

n

n“Not good! They’re heading towards the shelter!”

n

nTang Chu was the first to react. He immediately turned around and gave the Federation soldier an order.

n

n“Sound Level 1 alarm! All players enter combat mode. Summon all reserve players to come online immediately.”

n

n“Everyone gather and prepare for battle!”
