Only after Reef and Zi marched 7-8 metres in, did Sheyan jog over after examining the corpse . He then offered his opinion .
“Old Hyena's neck was snapped cleanly, probably done by a single hand action . It's hard to think of normal civilians here possessing such capabilities . Our enemy is likely the members of Skull Party . It's best we don't leave anyone alive should we clash . Fortunately their satellite surveillance system has already been blocked . This is extremely favourable for us . ”
Zi nodded and flicked her left index finger . Instantly, her revolving rhombus mana crystals halted, and hovered above her with a mystifying stance; as though she had just drew her bowstring . Undoubtedly, once she detects any strange movements, it would spear forth and puncture her foes .
At present, for ease of communication, Sheyan employed his military authority and party leader privilege to pay a fixed fee, and temporarily recruited Zi into his party .
Reef led the way ahead . Sheyan guarded the rear . Zi overlooked from the middle .
A tranquility lingered in this motel, as though all the guests were sound asleep .
The first floor corridor appeared fine, but when they reached the second floor, a scene of bloodstains everywhere, shattered gla.s.s shards and shredded clothes greeted their sight .
The most appalling sight was this – mult.i.tudes of blood handprints could be seen along the upper portion of the corridor walls . The feeling of incomparable bitterness was palpable as they observed those b.l.o.o.d.y handprints dragging along stretches of long bloodstains along the wall . One could guess the helplessness and despair of these victims!
Such a scene would be exceedingly alarming to ordinary individuals, but the three contestants had seen all sorts of scenarios already . Hence, they merely heightened their vigilance and callously proceeded . Occasionally, they would exchange several warnings .
All of a sudden, Zi thought of a question as she frowned and turned around . Instead, Sheyan mildly whispered .
“I've investigated . Wester's package room is at the end of the third floor corridor . He's a huge smuggler, renting all four rooms of the third floor, I guess this makes his transactions much easier as well . ”
They advanced while whispering and quickly reached the third floor .
All of a sudden, the last door of the corridor swung open . Three pale looking males scurried out and hastily locked the door .
They were wearing army officer uniforms but their uniforms were drenched in blood . The blood appeared like it was splattered, which indicated they had probably just gotten reprieve from death .
The leading militant ordered in a defeated and exasperated voice .
“Contact our men at once . Those mutants have started a.s.saulting the military!”
Yet a split second later, an abnormal sound resounded from the door behind . It was an extremely piercing sound, a.n.a.logous to a knife slowly sc.r.a.ping against gla.s.s but filled with a sinister sensation of seeking blood .
More crucially, these rooms were specially refurbished for Lieutenant Colonel Wester . None of them exhibited wooden doors, but instead, st.u.r.dy reinforced steel weldings installed with numerous anti-theft systems .
Chi! Chi! Chi! The sounds of a welding torch emitted out alongside fireworks of sparks . Soon after, clear cracks could be seen!
Instantly, deep crevices formed at the surrounding walls alongside dazzling sparks, before the large door distorted halfway and was sent flying like a piece of paper .
As the fumigating brick dust settled, a tall woman clad in skintight black leather marched out . Her frame was larger than average european females and was at least 180 cm tall . She had an ample chest and fertile b.u.t.tocks . Her sapphire pupils were incredibly abstruse and seemed as though they could see through anyone .
When she lifted her left hand, one could observe an incredibly weird finger cot covering the index finger . The finger cot appeared extremely sharp and diabolical .
As that woman sketched with her finger, visible and unexplainable strands appeared in the air . Those criss-crossing strands emitted a light blue radiance, as they streaked in with matchless velocity before cutting down that military officer .
Those strands were akin to incredibly incisive knives and effortlessly sliced through the officer's waist . That officer couldn't even gasp in pain before the other three criss-crossing streaks flew in and diced his body into eight chunks .
Splitter! Splatter! The chunks of flesh fell to the ground .
Those strands were indescribably hot, when slicing through the officer's body, they cauterized the severed blood vessels and prevented even a drop of blood from dripping out!
Thump! Thump! Thump! Sonorous sounds then echoed out from a nearby room . The sounds sounded like a raging monster was currently decimating the wall part.i.tions of this building .
A second later, the wall was blasted into smithereens as rock fragments scattered everywhere . Then, a gigantic black figure smashed out and pummelled another fleeing officer to the ground .
This black fur of this figure appeared ragged, with maroonish rotting flesh beneath . Sliced off curling tendons could be seen oozing with scarlet bodily fluids . This was truly a repulsive abomination to behold . It possessed razor-sharp claws with a metallic glint .
This beast shockingly looked like a virus infected and decomposing great bear!
Upon witnessing this scene, Zi's expression changed slightly .
“Indeed the Skull Party! Be careful of that bear, it is a summoned beast infected by the T-virus . It'll be huge trouble if you get injured by it . Also, Mogensha, you scout out for the hiding summoner! He is a brat called Plague . I've crossed hands with him before, he is a freaking pest! Refrain at all cost from letting his summoned creatures harm you, and exploit every opportunity presented to pressure him . Otherwise, the pressure will be turned against us . ”
“T-Virus eh?” Sheyan's eyes flickered upon hearing that . He chortled and mumbled to himself . “Ah, what a familiar term . ”
At this moment, great bear raised its paw loftily over the grounded officer . Its paw was the size of a palm-leaf yet its black claws were immensely acute . With a single swipe, it ripped through the horrified and shocked countenance of the officer, and tore his brains out along with a regiment of gus.h.i.+ng blood .
The infected great bear transformed with added vigour after smelling blood . It then munched down onto the officer's neck and slurped viciously . As this happened, the officer's body rapidly shrunk . Looking closer, the innards of the corpse was actually being corroded at a visible pace before being devoured .
After sucking dry the body, the great bear's mouth split open as though it was smiling malevolently . It revealed a series of countless sharp teeth, a ghastly and shuddering sight to behold . With a single munch, it ludicrously devoured the skin and bones of the officer corpse .
At present, only one officer remained alive .
His complexion was ghastly pale as he panted heavily while sprinting away . He didn't dare to look back, because if he did, the horrifying sight would cause his legs to turn limp and drain away all his will to live!
Yet in this instant, that voluptuous woman sketched with her left index finger again . Those same cutting strands of unparalleled deadliness once again streaked out from her diabolical looking finger cot .
The last officer was about to be diced to pieces .
Prior to that, Sheyan was already swiftly weighing the different factors . He immediately shouted into his party channel .
“Save him and disperse at once . Fighting in this place is disadvantageous to us . ”
“Mogensha, cover us . Zi, avoid directly clas.h.i.+ng with them, it is best you don't reveal your ident.i.ty . ”
Zi became momentarily stumped in response . Accustomed to giving orders at this time, she couldn't react in time and was pulled back by Sheyan, before regaining her senses to retreat .
A dull sensation of disappointment filled her heart, yet concurrently at this moment, Reef had activated 'Courage' . He dashed towards that officer and bluntly guarded his front .
Instantly, those terrifyingly sharp strands collided into Reef . Boom! A exceedingly violent explosion erupted which sent Reef flying backwards!
That voluptuous woman was about to pursue, she abruptly flicked her left index!
A fiery streak whizzed in and was about to strike her! Instead, this bullet was sliced into two halves, but out of the blue and soaring in behind that bullet, was a smoking rifle grenade!
Indeed, this was Brother Black's masterpiece!
A rumbling explosion ensued as smoke and fire engulfed the place . When that voluptuous woman resurfaced from the chaos, the gang of four had already rescued the officer and was fleeing 30 metres away .
The voluptuous woman wanted to pursue, but upon noticing the opposing party had three individuals plus a hidden gunman, she didn't dare to recklessly charge in . After all, she was clearly an agile type close combat contestant .
She merely stamped her feet and issued a hoa.r.s.e but charming cold voice .
“Plague! If you don't act now, this side mission we acquired may be stolen by others!”
Out of the blue, a little girly voice drifted out from beneath the voluptuous woman's feet .
“My Misa is already chasing . ”
Not too long later, the infected great bear came running back .
One of its front claw was noticeably broken and exposed rotting red flesh beneath and a tinge of its eerie white bone . Its wound appeared fairly smooth which suggested being slashed off by a sharp weapon .
Despite its wounds, dregs of the opponent's flesh could be found on the infected great bear's other paw .
Chapter 727: virus vs T-virusThe great bear idled for several seconds as it communicated with the hidden Plague . Those few dregs of blood dripping flesh on its paw was probably cleaved out from the enemy .
A while later, a chilling laughter drifted in .
“Misa cleaved his chest, very soon and he shall know the price of being clawed by Misa's paw . I'm afraid to even to contestants, the T-Virus remains a terrifyingly grave consequence!”
The voluptuous woman insipidly questioned .
“Are you certain that storyline character has contracted the T-Virus?”
Plague's innocent and unbridled voice drifted out again .
“He should be experiencing the outbreak by now . Why Patrice, you don't believe me?”
Patrice sneered and replied .
“Then what are we still waiting for? Let's head over to the objective at once! You should now, he is presently nearly a thousand kilometres away from us . Worse still, the satellite system that Judas had infiltrated has been blocked for some unknown reason . Our situation is rather awkward now, its best we drive over now . ”
Plague's girly innocent voice drifted out again .
“There's four of them y'know! Four!!! How many achievement points are they worth? Moreover, it's quite rare that I managed to a.s.semble that many slaves this time, of which a Licker may very well surface . Patrice, just think, how much would their equipments be worth?”
Patrice hesitated slightly but earnestly shook her head .
“No, amongst the four, only the gunner a.s.saulted me while the rest concealed their individual prowess . Furthermore, the brat who rescued the storyline officer is fairly valiant and managed to effortlessly defend against my 'High-Frequency Slicerays', More crucially, don't forget how Drizzt's group fell!”
Plague paused a little before responding .
“However, there's four of them and not three . The infected T-Virus corpse will soon perish . If we don't act now, it'll tough to find a better opportunity . ”
Instead, Patrice smirked and strolled into the room behind . Her b.u.t.tocks swayed in accordance to her footsteps, while her flouris.h.i.+ng chest bounced distinctly beneath her skintight black leather s.h.i.+rt . Her current image would truly stimulate one's beating heart, a feeling a large frequency could split open her s.h.i.+rt at anytime .
“Plague, you seem to have forgotten that we share a same objective as them! There will absolutely be many present at where Wester is . As long as we can deal with Wester beforehand and then set a trap there, you can even create ten times more zombies . When that time comes, we can slowly lay in wait for them to take the bait… . ”
Plague then broke into a high pitched laughter .
“I suddenly feel exceptionally satisfied cooperating with you, Patrice . Misa, let's go . We will have sufficient time to set up the battlefield… . ”
Presently, in a another street, Sheyan was examining his chest wound .
Three vicious claw wounds .
HIs wound was prune coloured but not much blood flowed out . Instead, an extremely sticky deep-yellowish pus oozed out from the middle of his chest . The wound didn't appear like it was festering, but tumours were rampantly saturating the wound like cancer . It was extremely repulsive and queer . The prune colour seemed to be invading deeper into his wound, threatening to take root in his body .
Zi's brows were knitted as she inspected his wound .
“Why're you so reckless? Didn't I say not to let that infected and filthy bear injure you? Hurry up and carve out that portion of your wound! Otherwise, it's gonna be bad . ”
Although Zi's words sounded pretty stern and condescending, her underlying intentions were clear .
Sheyan's heart warmed slightly and just as he was about to reply, Brother Black strolled over while puffing a cigar and curiously asked .
“Why, he'll turn into a zombie?”
Zi glared at Mogensha and icily chided .
“With Seaman's current state, there's a huge chance of transforming into a tyrant . Hurry up and deal with your wound! Unless you wish to be tortured by the T-Virus for one week . ”
At this point, Reef abruptly called out .
“Heavens, this dude we rescued has been infected! I reckon he'll zombify within half an hour!”
Sheyan chuckled and replied .
“No worries… . woah, wait wait wait!!”
As it turns out at this moment, the frosty looking Zi proactively shoved Sheyan to the ground, before she created a 'Force Wall Barrier' to press him down and prevent him from moving . Then, she bent down and pulled out her sharp crescent dagger .
“Oi oi oi, wait, wait, ahh Zi, wait!!” This was Sheyan's first time being oppressed by a woman like that, and couldn't retaliate against the pressure of her 'Force Wall Barrier' .
As he watched her cold s.h.i.+mmering dagger approaching, Sheyan broke out with perspiration and exclaimed .
“Excellent Zi!! Listen to me, listen first!! The T-Virus is actually useless on me . ”
Zi was immediately stunned .
“How's that possible? Look at your wound… . ”
Sheyan sighed and answered .
“I purposely suppressed my ability to trick that T-Virus Summoner . ”
After speaking, Sheyan heaved a deep sigh of relief .
Instantaneously, several cyan vessels around his chest, ones that looked like roots, wriggled out and adhered to his wound . Gradually, the blackness of the T-Virus poison receded and was ultimately utterly consumed .
At present, Zi was staring deep into Sheyan's eyes . “This brat who isn't even a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter, actually hides so many shocking secrets within him!”
A military rank that vastly eclipsed Reserve-Duty Lieutenant Colonel . A Silver Prestige Party . A support but also a formidable innate MT . An individual who can astutely and accurately oversee the grand state of affairs!
All these factors converging into a single human was already frightening . Yet the most astounding thing was, whenever she thought she understood this guy, he would quickly serve her a new shocking fact that would shake her completely .
“Your innate ability is that powerful?” Zi doubtfully asked . “It can even render you immune to the T-Virus?”
Unbeknownst to her, she was edging closer to Sheyan . Sheyan could once again observe her exquisite fair skin but with a tinge of swooning blush . She was really akin to a delicate porcelain that would shatter from a simple breeze . That faint alluring 'Poison girl' perfume scent floated in to complement her bewildered expression .
Seeing such a view, a strange feeling welled up subconsciously within him .
“Ah, well, you can put it that way . ” Sheyan repressed that otherworldly sensation and indifferently replied .
Following that, Sheyan lifted his head and ordered . “Reef, bring that unlucky brat over, let me see if I can save him . ”
Reef then brought the military officer over . After a brief inspection, they discovered a wound at this right index finger . Probably because he only received a sc.r.a.pe at the tip of his limb, did he manage to hold off the outbreak till now .
Right now, the officer had already fainted . His lips were dry and his gums exposed . His pupils contracted and bulging cyan veins covered his face like a spiderweb . The rims of his eyes were jet black and even caved in .
Sheyan pondered as he sat beside him . He originally wanted to feed some of his blood to him, but immediately considered the consequence of dispelling the T-Virus, but changing him into an Virus host instead .
Eventually, Sheyan grabbed his arm . One could then observe a cyan vessel strangely elongating out from Sheyan's fingertip, before penetrating the officer's wound . This was indeed a vessel from his 'Stairway of the Sun' virus system . As the mother of the progenitor virus, it would probably be a piece of cake to expel the T-Virus for this storyline character .
Five minutes later, the military officer recovered from his critical state . His body temperature stabilized as did his breathing . Nevertheless, he remained slumbering from the excessive damage dealt to his body .
Sadly, the gang of four couldn't afford the luxury of time for him to rest . Thus, they splashed a few cups of alcohol and a basin of icy water on his face, where he instantly jolted awake .
“Let me first introduce myself, I am Seaman . ” Sheyan was half kneeling beside the dazy looking military officer . “And your name?”
The officer's hazy eyes gradually focused as he finally exclaimed in fear .
“Ahhhhh, holy s.h.i.+t, am I still alive? This is… . Major Seaman, I am Captain Miličić! There are a bunch of crazy devils behind! Run!!!”
When the others heard his greeting, they were incomparably baffled . “When did Seaman enlist in this world's military?”
However, they soon understood something . It seems like an official military rank wasn't merely acknowledged in the nightmare realm, but probably in any world as well .
Sheyan pressed Captain Miličić's shoulders and offered with a gentle but powerful tone .
“You are safe, Captain . I've expelled the virus from your body . After a good rest, some whiskey and a roasted chicken sandwich, you'll once again be as strong as an ox . But right now, you must first tell me, where is Lieutenant Colonel Wester? His life is currently in danger!”
Captain Miličić hesitated briefly before replying .
“He just clinched a deal and is currently in Ushuaia converting his profits into gold, diamond and pesos”
Sheyan then glanced at Zi . Shen then nodded gently which signified that she received the relevant notifications to proceed .
Sheyan then continued .
“I need his specific location, tell me at once Captain . You should know how scary those guys are…do you wish for them to find Lieutenant Colonel Wester and torment him in the same way?”
Miličić struggled for a good long while before raspily replying .
“Are you guys military police?”
Sheyan scoffed .
“Can the military police rescue you from those devils? If I were military police, I would be apprehending you and locking you up in the prison right now . ”
Chapter 728: Quiet arrangementsFaced with Sheyan's interrogation, Captain Miličić lowered his head, and took a long while before answering reluctantly .
“Ushuaia, City Hall . 3rd avenue on the 12th street . The 7th building, 11th floor, 2nd apartment . ”
Sheyan glanced at Zi and Zi nodded once again . He then laughed heartily and slapped Captain Miličić's shoulder .
“Well done lad, you can go have your rest now . Oh right, remember to get a nice bath and change to a set of clean clothes . The bloodstains on your uniform may be contaminated!”
Seeing the four humans acquiring the information they wanted but not turning hostile, Miličić immediately calmed down . Without adding a single word, he quickly got rid of his remaining underwear, and didn't forget to offer a polite farewell despite being in an unappropriate state . Afterwards, he rushed towards a dark corner, but after 50-60 metres later, he returned and exclaimed .
“Now I believe you didn't harbour malicious intentions, Major Seaman . Someone will ask for a code at the district entrance, you must answer 'looking for Madam Noah' . If the answer is wrong, Lieutenant Colonel Wester will flee immediately . ”
Sheyan didn't expect this brat to reserve this hand and smiled .
“Many thanks for your trust, my friend . I promise Wester will be safe . ”
As if relieved from a huge burden, Miličić finally departed .
Frankly speaking, Sheyan was equally puzzled . Why could Captain Miličić recognize that he was Major Seaman? Yet why didn't Abreu and Ache recognize him?
After careful deliberations, he realized this issue – perhaps it was linked to him spontaneously introducing himself to storyline characters . Abreu and Ache didn't even know his name and naturally didn't dare to ask, obviously they couldn't decipher his well-known reputation .
Zi then interrupted with a calm tone .
“We need to seize the time . Ushuaia is nearly a thousand kilometres from here with at least a stretch of 400 kilometres of desert, making it susceptible to aggression from savage dinosaurs . More crucially, those two members of Skull Party are nearly half an hour ahead of us . ”
Sheyan chuckled in response .
“Oh, not that long actually . If I were them, there would still be many things I need to do; for example, finding a suitable transport or to ruin other modes of high speed transport that we may use……these would waste about half an hour of time . According to their plan, we have no choice but to traverse the desert with inefficient vehicles, leaving us pathetically tailing behind . ”
Just when his words faded, a chain of intensive explosions resounded from the southern region of base 13 city!! In a flash, a blazing red eyed the skies .
Zi naturally remembered that that should be the automobile industry region of base 13 city .
This twist of events instantly caused ripples throughout the entire city . Many civilians believed it was a raid by the military and immediately fled with their personal vehicles . The whole city fell into disarray; like a bowl of boiling soup, it became utterly chaotic .
With such conditions, buying a cla.s.sic antique vehicle would even cost a ma.s.sive fee .
Zi couldn't help but anxiously glance at Sheyan with her brows knitted . Yet after noticing his rather confident demeanor, an unspeakable sense of security calmed instantly calmed her mind .
On the contrary, she began to feel fear . She had always been the figurehead and pillar, yet why did she have to rely on others to live now? Thinking of that, memories of her childhood slowly overflowed the depths of her heart and p.r.i.c.ked her deeply…
“Oh, it's about 1:17 in the morning, we still have adequate time . ” Sheyan casually muttered . “Zi, do you have anything else you need to prepare?”
The confused Zi answered .
“Us? Setting off now? Those two from the Skull Party definitely wouldn't leave behind any favourable means of transport! Furthermore, what vehicle can we acquire now…even if we reach our destination, it is impossible to obtain the primary clues . We can't possibly be going by foot right?”
Sheyan smiled lightly and replied .
“Of course not, they're probably thinking we would surely be later than them eh?”
At present, Zi was starting to understand something and nodded .
“That's right . ”
Sheyan snickered as his eyes turned incisive .
“This coincidentally fits our ideal scenario . In this manner, once we arrive at Ushuaia first, we can establish our sequence of ploys and snares without arousing their suspicions, before……expanding my next arrangement! This is also the main reason I didn't want a confrontation with them! Of course, I still have several doubts I need to clear up with you . I hope you will answer me honestly, if you can't say, then decline to answer . ”
Zi indifferently replied .
“Ask . ”
Sheyan pondered a little before starting .
“Do you still have other forces in this world?”
Zi shook her head and responded despondently .
“Not anymore . I had a friend named Aldaris in Glory Party previously . He was the one who rescued me in the nick of time . However, that led to him being surrounded where he was forced to activate an item to leave this world . ”
Sheyan nodded and continued .
“Glory Party seems to possess the means to track you down constantly right? Otherwise, your party could've divided and escape . ”
Zi gritted her teeth and resentfully uttered .
“It's Finarsih, also known as Zeus' eyes . He possesses an exceedingly rare prophesying ability, and issued a prophesying curse on each core member of my party . Hence, he can predict each of our estimated positions periodically . ”
“Good . ” Sheyan nodded faintly .
“Finarsih is that brat with the nose ring eh? Very good, wonderful . Things are developing perfectly according to my deduction . Zi, I probably have to exploit your secret cell at the outskirts of base 13 city . Apart from that, we need to make some preparations . There'll be a need for some blood to lure their greedy hearts . As long as the incentives are sufficient, we can muddle their eyes to the danger at hand…”
While speaking, Sheyan shockingly produced two items in his hands .
Two invaluable materials!!
The two 'A' rank materials – 'Shadowdrill Claw' and 'Shadowdrill Deinonychus Blood Crystal'!!
Ten minutes later .
With everything settled, Sheyan a.s.sembled with the others .
From his personal storage, he retrieved a basin-sized brown egg . Burying it beneath the ground, he proceeded to water it .
Their current location was relatively remote and n.o.body witnessed this scene .
Very quickly, a large earthen mound protruded up . The mound even trembled with a rhythmic heartbeat tempo .
Two minutes later, the earthen mound swelled up and fissured with a crackle . A foul stench permeated out with the splatter of fishy fluids .
Once again, an arachnid Overlord surfaced before the contestant quartet .
Sheyan climbed into the hollow cavity of the arachnid Overlord first before the rest slipped in like fishes . The climbing tentacles of the Overlord soon retracted, and this horrifying jellyfish-like gigantic creature that lacked offensive capabilities swiftly floated into the air . Then, it swiftly sped towards the city of Ushuaia .
Sheyan was familiar by now . Allowing this Overlord to fly with rapid velocity would undoubtedly consume a ma.s.sive amount of its energy . Without any means to replenish the Overlord's energy, this was equivalent to combusting its life force .
Nevertheless, such a flying speed would suffice to cover a thousand kilometres . Of course, if the Overmind or the Mother was present, it would be able to further increase its velocity by 40% .
Meanwhile, the two females of Skull Party, Plague and Patrice, though they possessed the most optimal vehicle with the mightiest horsepower, travelling at 200 km/hour over such a harsh terrain would already be heaven defying .
Anyway, Sheyan believed that after settling the affair with Lieutenant Colonel Wester, he would have at least 2-3 hours left to establish his own plans . In his calculations, such an immense amount of time was surely sufficient .
An hour and fifty minutes later, the gang of four was already exploring the brightly lighted Ushuaia city .
After they had descended onto a forest near a highway, Sheyan brutally abandoned the dying Overlord . In a flash, it dissolved into sticky bodily substance and bubbles .
Henceforth, if he ever wanted to replenish this mode of speedy and environmentally friendly transport, he would have to visit the Stars.h.i.+p Troopers World or the Avatar World again .
Without expending much effort, the gang flagged a vehicle along the road and sped off for the third avenue 12th street of Ushuaia City Hall's 3rd avenue .
Upon reaching the destination, Sheyan immediately felt that Lieutenant Colonel Wester was definitely sick of living . The place was utterly devoid of any sense of security .
This was also because this residential area was located in a district a.n.a.logous to China's government compound . Many government officials lived here while a police station was merely a hundred metres away .
Evidently, should any incident happen, the police could rush over at first notice .
The gang of four alighted at the designated residential house . Following Captain Miličić's instruction, they asked the security guard for Madam Noah .
However, the security guard glared angrily .
Indeed, this was due to the time . It was currently three in the wee hours of the morning! Who would visit at such a time of the day?
“You guys are looking for Madam Noah now?”
The guard's hand reached beneath his desk . The suspicion in his eyes was filled to the maximum . Concurrently, few others who were serving the indoor night s.h.i.+ft noticed the situation here and appeared additionally cautious .
Of course, to the gang of four, settling this security guard would be effortless . Instead, Lieutenant Colonel Wester was probably an incredibly cautious fella .
Just in case, inadvertently alerting the enemy would bring about a failure at the final hurdle, but instead create further complications .
Chapter 729: World collapsing secretAt this point, Sheyan stepped forward and showed his face clearly under the illumination of the guardhouse light .
“Hey mateys, I'm Major Seaman, you should recognize me, aye?”
The few guards scrutinized him before whispering to each other .
“Indeed, it's him . ”
“Hoh, I've heard of his name before . ”
(Author's note: This is due to legend level +1)
“Heard he did a pretty fine job on the battlefield . ”
" . . . "That security guard became less stern but still inquired with worry .
“Major sir, I feel bad for asking, but it really isn't a suitable time to patronize Madam Noah in the wee hours of the morning . ”
Sheyan drooped his face and warned .
“Are you intending to pry into cla.s.sified military affairs? Should I call for the military police to help me out?”
The guard swallowed his saliva and shrugged his shoulders . Finally, he relented .
The following events were needless to say .
The gang of four didn't bother with knocking on doors . They bluntly climbed to the roof before and then entered by room's balcony . The balcony door was completely devoid of guarding mechanisms .
When Lieutenant Colonel Wester finally felt something was amiss and jolted up from bed, Zi's figure had already vanished from the doorway and into the darkness . When she resurfaced, her crescent dagger was curved around his neck .
This performance caused Sheyan to be rather speechless and even felt a certain misconception . It was as if Zi wasn't a mage type contestant, but an agile close combatant…
Nevertheless, Sheyan knew that her experiences vastly outweigh his . In this cruel realm, relying on exterior looks alone was useless in keeping one alive . This was a woman who strove and succeeded in becoming a party leader, what possibilities could arise if she took a back seat instead?
Sheyan closed the curtains and switched on a lampstand . The light bluntly and directly shone onto Wester's face and revealed his features .
This was a male roughly in his forties . He wasn't muscular, uncommunicative and shrewd as they imagined him to be . Instead, he was a fatty with long sideburns… . his belly was as round as a six month pregnancy, and his twin small eyes flickered gloriously .
Wester slowly composed himself, and with the dagger positioned by his neck, he slowly sat up and even lit a cigarette for himself . His tiny eyes filtered around before he spoke .
“Let me guess your intentions? Is it money or the goods? Oh oh! Are y'all here to seek vengeance for Kraam . Yes, fine, I did kill him, but someone else forced me to, I couldn't help it . Besides, he didn't pay us after receiving the goods . Listen, friends, killing me will get you nothing but being hunted down by many others . Why not receive a bag of cash and leave? I guarantee I will not pursue this matter… . ”
The contestant quartet remained silent . They waited as Wester rambled on for half a day . Sheyan then poured him a gla.s.s of water and callously offered .
“Drink, drink and continue speaking . ”
Instead, the Lieutenant Colonel shut his eyes, but one could see his little eyes shuttering around with doubt .
Soon after, Zi retrieved the ruby ring she harvested from Chedeliarchos Skoa, and tossed it before him . She then icily p.r.o.nounced .
“Recognize this ring?”
Lieutenant Colonel Wester's complexion immediately turned deathly pale and cried out with a sharp tone .
“You all… . . how is this even . . ? I…I… . it wasn't me!!”
Zi remained silent as the atmosphere froze with intensity . One could only hear the distinct sounds of Wester's heavy breathing .
Death and horror gripped his body entirely . Deep down he knew, since these guys were here on the affairs of Chedeliarchos Skoa, his chance of living was incredibly minute .
He could sell himself, but such a condition could be effortlessly met by the Chedeliarchos clan as well . Moreover, he definitely couldn't offer as much benefits as th Chedeliarchos clan could!
Right now, Wester was only hoping for this – “Since they hadn't made a move since they entered, they are surely seeking for something . However, the att.i.tude of silence they are adopting is crus.h.i.+ng my mind!”
A full ten minutes elapsed . Wester finally broke the silence .
“Fine, what do y'all want?”
Zi coldly declared .
“Listen up, I'll only give you chance to answer . Should I receive a wrong answer, or that you don't know, you know you will die . ”
Wester's pupils s.h.i.+fted around uneasily .
“But, how will I know if you'll release me afterwards?”
Zi indifferently replied .
“You have no choice . We may be lying or we may not be lying . if you don't answer, you will surely die . If you answer, you still have a shot at surviving . I will ask you now . ”
Wester casted a bleak smile and replied .
“Okay, ask . ”
Zi straightforwardly asked .
“Though Chedeliarchos Skoa is an aristocratic wastrel, he is still a learned paleontologist . Alas, his prodigal reputation totally covers this gifted aspect of his . But I know with great certainty, the dinosaur gene carrier, the mosquito embedded in that amber, was in Skoa's hands . However, there wasn't a grain of amber found on his corpse, I would like to know where may it be . ”
When Wester heard this question, he clearly released a sigh of relief and answered .
“That grain of amber is presently with Hammond . You must know him right? The father of dinosaurs of the legends, the creator of Jura.s.sic Park . Yet bankrupt ever since the park was overrun . But a year ago, he seeked me out and was willing to pay an exorbitant price to procure that grain of amber once again . Coincidentally, I was planning an operation on Chedeliarchos Skoa then, and thus accepted his offer . ”
Zi emotionlessly replied .
“What you're implying is… . . you murdered Skoa for another reason and snagged the amber along the way?”
“Yes . ” Wester beamed with helplessness . “Of course, I can tell you my objective for seeking our Mister Chedeliarchos Skoa as well, however, y'all best prepare to be hunted down at anytime . ”
Sheyan abruptly interrupted .
“Don't ramble . Wester, how can I verify what you're saying is true?”
Wester immediately replied .
“I record all my conversations with others . ”
After speaking, Wester picked up a slipper . The gang naturally wasn't worried about him pulling a trick . Wester then slapped the slipper against the wall . There was probably a chip inserted beneath his slipper which triggered a mechanism . Soon after, Wester retrieved a handphone from beneath his bed, and pressed a few b.u.t.tons before a voice drifted out .
“I'm Hammond, I need that amber . ”
“Doctor Hammond? Woah, since you're being so frank, I'll cut to the chase as well . After my investigations, I conclude that the grain of amber you want is with Chedeliarchos Skoa . It'll be difficult to extract it from him . ”
“Listen, Lieutenant Colonel, those big boys of the Cretaceous era are already showing signs of evolution . They should be now slowly mutating into new variations . There will come a day, the human race will perish under their claws and fangs . Therefore, we must eradicate them now before our race becomes extinct . ”
“Doctor Hammond, I'm sorry but I don't really understand you . Moreover, what is the link between those darn green lizards as this amber?”
“You aren't aware? The dinosaur gene stems from a droplet of blood from the mosquito in the ember . I need that amber to continue research on the blood . Perhaps, I can find a flaw in the dinosaur gene! If I succeed, we can completely eradicate them before they mutate and complement any genetic deficit . It'll be as simple as pesticide fogging mosquitoes . ”
“Hey, Doctor Hammond . You should know international calls are expensive, therefore let's be frank here, how much are you willing to offer for that amber . That amber should be just like a toy to the only heir of the Chedeliarchos clan . ”
" . . . … . "Sheyan glanced at the nodding Zi .
She then shared the notifications she received into the party channel .
[ You receive relevant crucial information ]
[ Main Mission modified: Please retrieve the prime story item from Hammond – the Mosquito Amber! ]
[ Warning: If Hammond successfully publicises his research on the 'Mosquito Amber', it will lead to terribly dire consequences . It can easily lead to a development of a cheap method to annihilate even the deadliest colossal dinosaurs, leading to the collapse of the whole Jura.s.sic world ]
[ Details: You have 48 hours to complete this mission ]
[ Warning: Mission failure will lead to a 33% penalty of all basic attributes, and prohibited entry of all future Jura.s.sic Park Worlds ]
Zi softly muttered .
“Hammond is now a public figure . He should be easy to locate and 48 hours should suffice . ”
Sheyan nodded and fished out a 'Perfect Dinocrystal' he took from Zi's secret cell .
He then offered it to Lieutenant Colonel Wester .
“This is your remuneration, but I will need to borrow your apartment . In addition to that, you will board a transport and never cease to move for the next 48 hours . Believe it or not, but count it as I've warned you . Also, let me introduce myself, I am Seaman . ”
Wester brazenly received that single 'Perfect Dinocrystal' . He then carefully sized up Sheyan before earnestly exclaiming .
“So it's you, Major Seaman . I've read about you in my reports before . Since that's the case, then I shall believe you this time . I can bring my personal belongings right?”
“Not an issue . ” Sheyan replied .
“Also, you best stay as hidden as possible, the less eyes on you, the better . ”
Chapter 730: Large handwritingTwo hours later, a land rover that covered in dust pulled over by the entrance of the neighbourhood .
The voluptuous Patrice extended her ravis.h.i.+ng long legs out of the rover . A pair of scarlet red high-heeled shoes and s.e.xy black stockings stepped onto the ground . Swaying her perky b.u.t.tocks, she sauntered to the security guard . Her outfit was truly blazing, to phrase it crudely, in order to glimpse her underwear, one needed to viciously pry apart her ample b.u.t.t cheeks…
As usual, she surfaced alone . Plague was nowhere in sight but concealed somewhere in the darkness . This venomous hearted summoner with a girly voice never showed herself, even during operations, she remained noiseless and furtive like a bat .
Strangely, the loyal and disciplined security guard that was stationed by the entrance was nowhere to be seen . Instead, one of those brats from the night s.h.i.+ft was still present and was currently lying on the desk, probably dozing off from the weariness of the night .
Patrice snickered to herself as she strolled into the residence with her swaying twin peaks up high .
Their plan was undoubtedly to play it big . At present, pa.s.serbys in this tiny neighborhood had been steadily infected by the T-Virus . Just half an hour later, and the population of this place would transform into Plague's most lethal weapons! As for the team that was on their heels (referring to Sheyan and company), they would soon be converted into achievement points, equipments and a puddle of blood .
Everything was exceedingly normal, everything was going accordance to the script they wrote beforehand .
Facing Wester's residence door, Patrice carved out distinct light strands with her finger cot, unleas.h.i.+ng 'High-Frequency Slicerays' as they sliced apart the lock noiselessly .
Patrice then quietly trudged in . Her current dressing exhibited her as an alluring milky cow, but yet her movements were as nimble and sharp like a cat .
In the blink of an eye, Patrice had rummaged through every corner of the apartment, and couldn't help but curse, “f***” as her countenance turned gloomy .
Everything was as usual, the only difference was, not a single person was present in this apartment .
“Could it be we've gotten a counterfeit report?” Patrice felt a chill in her heart and decided to swiftly scan the place again . Then, she discovered several fishy aspects .
The bathtub was still wet and warm and a dull cigar aroma lingered in the living room, where cigarette ashes could be found on the ground . Traces of alcohol stains could be seen on the gla.s.s on the coffee table while a roasted pizza slice could be seen in the microwave… .
“Hmm, he probably rushed out in a hurry . ” Patrice came to this conclusion . After pondering a little, he pressed the voicemail b.u.t.ton of the house phone .
“David dear, how many days has it been, someone has been thinking of you till her fingers are numb you know… . seventy percent discount going on for this big b.o.o.bs club hn . ”
Patrice's appearance resembled a big b.o.o.bs club as well, but her expression darkened as she listened to that seductive voice as well . She immediately pressed next .
“This is Kewell insurance at your service . Have you ever wondered that life is always filled with danger and insecurity…”
Patrice immediately pressed next . Very quickly, she found the recording she wanted .
“Oi Wester, I admit that has been certain grievances between us, but I promise that this job will earn your forgiveness . We've found a vital object linked to those mysterious mutants! To them, its value surpa.s.sed an entire city . I know you're a blunt man, therefore, to express my sincerity, I'm offering you a deposit first and you can conduct it as you deem fit . I'll be waiting for your answer on the web . Trust me, tis' a job even the devil's eyes would pop out for from envy!”
Hearing this, Patrice immediately glanced towards the main bedroom . She then noticed a super-computer and instantly exclaimed .
“Hoi Plague, it's time you surface, look what interesting news I've found . These storyline characters actually managed to obtain an object vital to us!”
In spite of that, Plague remained hidden as her crisp kiddy voice resounded out .
“I feel that our mission is more pressing, we should clarify where our target went first . ”
Patrice responded with annoyance .
“Of course, we will . But do you need that long to settle a b.l.o.o.d.y computer? I just want to see what object they think is vital to us, perhaps by hacking the computer, we can find Wester's whereabouts as well . You never know, Wester may suddenly return home as well . ”
“Ah, fine, fine . You always seem to be able to drill logic into me . ”
Very quickly, Plague surfaced before the super-computer . Her body was wrapped in bandages like a mummy . The bandages were filthy, st.u.r.dy and filled with pus and blood stains . from her exterior, one couldn't tell if she was male or female, but merely a skinny little 7-8 year old kid .
After booting up the computer, Plague started hammering the keyboard .
Three minutes later, her voice rung out with a solemn tone .
“Patrice, your intuition is truly frightening . Wester seems to be playing it big this time . Do you know what fix deposit that guy offered?”
Patrice revealed her pearly white teeth and chortled .
“I just knew I had a keen sense of intuition . Quick tell me, my lovely Plague . ”
Plague answered her with the most direct of methods . With a few clicks of the keyboard, an image was projected before Patrice .
Instantly, Patrice sucked in a breath of chilling air .
“10 pieces… . . of perfect dinocrystals!!! That is enough to exchange for the summit grade dinosaur gene dosage!! Ah s.h.i.+t, that signifies 30 free attribute points!”
Plague rigidly replied .
“Moreover, such valuable objects are merely the deposit……Patrice, I really am exceptionally curious as to what 'vital' object those guys are referring to . Oh hoh, a firewall protection, does he think this can stump me?”
Time rapidly trickled away .
All of a sudden, Plague released a joyous shriek! Her tone immediately turned deep and low .
“Breached . Now let us see what it holds . ”
After hammering the keyboard a few more times, the image of a lightless black rock was displayed on the screen .
The two exchanged glances and uttered .
“You recognize what is that?”
“I don't . ”
“Me neither, but this thing looks excessively bulky, it can be anything . ”
As she spoke, Plague's eyes didn't wander away from the screen . Suddenly, she clenched her teeth and squeaked .
“Nevertheless, we will soon know what it is, because……Wester didn't bring it along with him!!!”
Patrice immediately understood Plague's underlying meaning and inhaled deeply .
“You're saying, when he left in a hurry, he left all these objects at home?”
“That's correct . That mysterious Mister A is probably ironing out the details with Wester . Furthermore, Mister A seems to be in possession of more of such objects, that black stone should merely be a specimen, where Wester is likely relying on his connections to find a major client for Mister A…”
“Then what we still waiting for?” Patrice revealed a bewitching smirk . “Although we aren't adept in finding secret mechanisms, it wouldn't take much time to tear apart this apartment . ”
Cras.h.!.+ Cras.h.!.+
Rumble! Boom! Crash… .
Under the tyrannical violence of Patrice, Wester's master bedroom was rapidly demolished into a garbage dump with dust settling everywhere… . .
“Wait! Something seems to be fishy . ” Plague abruptly exclaimed .
Evidently, her observational skills was more elaborate and managed to discover a mechanism; the mechanism activated by Wester's slipper .
“Ah, how secretive! It can actually be designed like this . ”
A second later, Patrice's silver finger cot ripped out a stand of light in the air . A 'High-Frequency Sliceray' collided against the wall, as she attempted to resolve all complications with brute force .
The next second, a secret safe greeted their eyes .
Cash, gold and gems failed to attract their gazes, but instead a single pouch . Upon opening the pouch, 10 majestically twinkling 'Perfect Dinocrystals' could be seen!!
The two reached forth simultaneously, each grabbing one side of the pouch .
The two then offered a wry smile to each other . In the end, a contract was formed and they split it 50-50… .
Next, a case beneath the pouch quickly attracted their attention . They once again reached forth unanimously, and both weren't willing to relent .
The two girls glared at each other before simultaneously counting to three and opening the case together .
Following that, they each shot forth a finger and pressed down onto an unremarkable looking black stone .
“Ah!!!!!!!!!”
“Hol!!!!!!!”
The first voice belonged to Patrice . Her high pitch scream sounded as though she had first taken cocaine, before mingling and finally achieving a never-ending o.r.g.a.s.m .
The second voice belonged to Plague . The sharpness of her cry was as though someone had dismembered all her limbs and rubbed table salt over .
“Ne-neglect…… material that neglects defense, true damages! Ah, a worth can seemingly surmount dark-gold grade equipments!”
A silent tranquility followed the conclusion of both screams .
A deathly stillness akin to a morgue lingered in this dilapidated looking room .
Within an instance, the atmosphere seemed to have froze with swords drawn and bows bent . One could even imagine the sounds of ice cubes freezing .
A saturation of killing intent…
Chapter 731: Smells of conspiracy“Plague, wait a moment… . . ” Patrice ordered with austerity .
“I know comrades and friends are meant to be betrayed and exploited, but only when sufficient reasoning is established . If you turn against me now, then you are truly a ma.s.sive moron!”
Plague remained quiet but retreated into the shadows . Her frame could seemingly and peculiarly blend into the darkness .
Patrice continued .
“You just told me, this item is merely a sample . Do you know what a sample is? If you don't, let me google it for you… . . a 'sample', a smidgen used to represent the quality goods . Perhaps it was drawn from the batch of goods for advertising purposes, or perhaps, it be just a prototype that was introduced before the rest . A sample used to indicate the standard of the load of true products!!!”
When Plague heard the terms 'quality goods' and 'load of true products', she immediately left the shadows . Employing an adorable but silly 'lolita' voice, she squealed pitifully .
“Sister Patrice, I know the error of my ways, don't ignore me okay?”
Instead, Patrice coldly replied .
“We should inform the boss at once . Don't look at me with that disgusting expression, this is my first warning to you . I'm not a silly a.s.s but you are behaving like a dumb b.i.t.c.h that is blinded by greed . Tell me, do we possess the capabilities to deal with a tier-5 legendary creature?”
Plague paused hesitantly before her voice turned raspy .
“Yes, with the suitable place and time . ”
“What about two?” Patrice questioned .
Plague bluntly answered .
“Nah . ”
Patrice then coldly continued .
“According to prior statistics, a dark-gold grade equipment may drop for every 4-5 tier-5 legendary creature . ”
Plague kept silent for a brief while before asking .
“What are you trying to say?”
Patrice answered without hesitation .
“Tell me, what is the common nature of the realm?”
Plague was then enlightened .
“The larger the risk, the greater the reward . ”
Patrice sternly continued .
“If we can accomplish this matter, then I'm guessing we'll acquire at least ten pieces; pieces equivalent to dark-gold grade equipments! Such a bountiful reward . Thus, haven't you considered the risk we'll have to face? This probably indicates an immense risk of facing tens of tier-5 legendary creature . Regardless how plentiful the rewards are, it'd be worthless to a dead man . ”
Plague contemplated deeply but still felt rather unresigned .
“But we acquired these crystals and item without facing any risk!”
Patrice snorted and replied .
“This the realm tempting us with a compensation for forsaking the mission regarding the 'Mosquito Amber'! Do you think that after encountering such information, would we care about whatever amber or mosquito? Right now, you should continue digging for information from the computer . We must definitely identify their transaction venue and time!”
Plague became speechless and started searching for more relevant information . Concurrently, Patrice strolled out and made an emergency call to Skull .
Moments later, Patrice returned with Skull's orders .
Plague was to forcibly retract her disseminated T-Virus and prevent Wester from suspecting anything, which could lead to that mysterious Mr 'A' terminating the transaction .
Secondly, Patrice must immediately head over to stall the delayed group of contestants that were similarly seeking out Wester . They absolutely couldn't allow for side issues to arise at this moment . She just needed to drag for two hours and reinforcements would arrive!
Meanwhile, Plague also managed to discover the meeting venue and time – Ushuaia Downtown Plaza bas.e.m.e.nt two, Target Cafe . The deal was set to happen within 10 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon .
At present, there were still 6-10 hours left .
Upon viewing this information, Plague's lips curled into a relieved smirk . Still, she felt rather puzzled by this meeting; why wasn't it a fixed timing but a range?
Nevertheless, she quickly ignored her thoughts and concentrated her focus onto the 'goods' that Patrice mentioned earlier . The more she pondered, the more she realized how logical her reasoning was . Attempting to swallow such a grand amount of fortune would be virtually impossible .
The despicable realm wouldn't act so cordially . Moreover, Boss Skull was a rather impartial person . Since they made a big contribution to this matter, they would be able to receive a an invaluable portion; perhaps even more materials equivalent to dark-gold grade equipments!
Reflecting on that, Plague heated up with pa.s.sion and immediately reported her findings .
Following that, Skull directly expressed that once he arrived, he would dispatch men to monitor whole vicinity of Ushuaia Downtown Plaza!
Meanwhile, Zi's secret cell at the outskirts of base 13 city .
The Metals Professor and company had actually discovered the secret cell .
Theoretically speaking, the cell should've been disguised meticulously, except, a pack of famished hyena like creatures had cleverly sniffed out the exposed entrance .
Prior to that, learning from the mistakes of Yuan Zhan and Tolui Helenite, the Metals Professor and company had started proceeding with great caution . Yet, the strange sight of a pack of hyena like creatures crowding around a boulder instantly aroused their attention .
Upon entering Zi's secret cell, they immediately noticed a puddle of vomit and blood . Evidently, it was this puddle that lured these hyenas here .
Proceeding from there, to their pleasant surprise, they discovered tens of 'Perfect Dinocrystals' in this secret cell . Furthermore, there were even a few outstanding dinosaur-hunting weapons that couldn't be brought out of this world .
Without a doubt, they had stumbled on an accidental fortune .
After carefully rummaging around, their spirits rose as Sable, following Zi's habits, unexpectedly found an Ipad she used in this world . From there, they managed to acquire the locations of three other secret cells .
This discovery was indeed a pleasant surprise to Glory Party .
To the Metals Professor, chasing her nemesis around like a dog and casually digging mouseholes along the way for profit, was truly a carefree and relaxed sensation…
In this instant, the Metals Professor also received a message from Prophet Finarsih – “Zi is currently in Ushuaia, but Zeus also warns that the members of Skull Party are displaying abnormal movements . ”
A side note, Glory Party's current transmission method was at the expense of Finarsih's mana . Moreover, their method fundamentally required a notebook, as messages were detailed in morse code, meaning it was unidirectional and required translating .
This communication method seemed rather backward, but it was still constantly employed by Zeus . This was because during the earlier phase of many contestants, many parties were already utilizing phones of the respective world for communication . There were rare cases of special abilities a.s.sisting foes in tapping on another's messages which led to the annihilation of a party .
“Zi can really flee, she actually fled a thousand kilometres away . ” The Metals Professor sneered but gritted her pearly white teeth simultaneously . Her dark green pupils flashes with ecstacy and venom .
“Perhaps she's digging another secret cell there . I'm really looking forward to what surprises Ushuaia will bring us . ”
When the others heard her words, they laughed in unison .
The Metals Professor then inquired .
“Old Fat, aren't you familiar with Base 13 . It's four in the morning, are we able to reach there by ten?”
The illusory master, Old Fat, contemplated a little before answering .
“I'm afraid not . Some accident happened and it's hard to find a good transport in Base 13 now . I suggest first finding a normal vehicle and driving to checkpoint Luke, which is a 100 kilometres from here . We should be able to find a suitable high-speed vehicle for this terrain . I can estimate we'll reach our destination around noon . ”
The Metals Professor smirked .
“Very well . Once we arrive at Ushuaia, we'll immediately rush to her secret cell and catch the mouse in the mousehole . Oh I love to drown and roast the pesky mouse before seizing it . Sable, where's Zi's secret cell in Ushuaia?”
Sable checked Zi's Ipad before slowly announcing out .
“Ushuaia Downtown Plaza bas.e.m.e.nt two, a cafe called Target . ”
“Actually, my plan is full of flaws . ” Sheyan rubbed his chin and lazily uttered .
“Nonetheless, I am 70 percent confident they will take the bait . ”
At present, the gang of four was idling in Ushuaia's tallest building, Teliga Telecommunications Tower .
The rooftop of Teliga Telecommunications Tower housed a revolving western restaurant . Sitting by the window with coffee, tea and professional service, one could overlook the entire city; especially, a panoramic view of the Downtown Plaza .
Besides, Teliga Telecommunications Tower was merely a straight 3 kilometres away from Ushuaia Downtown Plaza .
Presently, Zi, Reef and Brother Black were leaning lackadaisically against a soft high-back chair and enjoying coffee . It was rare for the contestant quartet to find such solace .
“Flaws?” Zi reflected on his words before speaking .
“Indeed . Our mystery man's arranged time of meeting with Wester is obviously a flaw – around ten in the morning to one in the afternoon . Furthermore, how can it be that Wester's computer offered such complete information . Apart from that, discovering Base 13's secret cell is too excessively coincidental, and why would the Ipad I carry with me be there and coincidentally contain other locations? Why not remember it by heart?”
“Therefore, we needed to sacrifice blood . ” Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and swapped to a confident tone .
“A whole load of blood . ”
“Only by inducing greed with such generous profits, can we mask all logic and sight . Only the drive of generous profits, can one make excuses for distinct flaws . ”
Sheyan sincerely declared .
“Give them a desire and it breeds expectancy . Naturally, the subconscious mind fears shattering this hope . ”
Chapter 732: Before the collisionReef was deeply moved by Sheyan's words and muttered .
“Indeed, many extraordinarily clumsy swingers succeed due to their incredibly lucrative bait, thus causing many to disregard the clear warnings . This situation is rather common in the real world as well . ”
Sheyan laughed and continued .
“Honestly speaking, the flaws aren't that inexcusable . If we consider the various aforementioned flaws, we can still find a reasonable explanation for them . ”
“For instance, the flaw of the meeting's time . Many scenarios can lead to this, for example, the mysterious man was unsure whether his flight would be delayed, or perhaps he is merely an untrusting individual thus issued a time range instead . ”
“The excessive information on Wester's computer can be explained by the fact he normally uses the internet for active communication . Moreover, his computer is protected by a military grade firewall and thus wasn't worried about any leakage of information . ”
“The locations on Zi's ipad could be explained by Zi's personality being a.n.a.logous to a lil' rodent like animals; frequently scampering into severely dangerous places, and thus digging holes in every world to store up some reserves . Therefore, it would be a ch.o.r.e to remember the locations of each secret cell…”
“Oi oi oi, what lil' rodent like animals . ” Zi stared at Sheyan icily with a sense of dissatisfaction . One could even notice a glint of force gathering in her palms!
Sheyan hastily released two dry coughs and corrected himself .
“Typo, typo . Wait no, just a slip of the tongue!”
Zi rolled her eyes at him as her lips slanted down slightly . Her expression of a smile yet not a smile contained a rarely seen enchantment to it . This expression was indeed a fairly rare sight coming from ex-party leader Zi .
Yet in the next moment, Sheyan recalled that even the haughty and impressive Zeus couldn't contain Zi, and thus, immediately sipped his coffee and diverted the topic .
“Even if my plan fails, it'll still cause both parties to turn wary like birds startled by a mere tw.a.n.g of the bow . It will still be favourable for our next step . Hence right now, we must think of how to seize the 'Mosquito Amber' from Hammond . ”
Brother Black do
