Chapter 424: A Serious Problem

“It’s done.” As Digital Cat confidently stopped her movements, the mini earphones connected to Feng Luo and the others’ special agent watch became noisy instantly.

“Is someone free for a s.h.i.+ft change? I need to go to the tenth floor for a while.”

“I got a pair of Level 40 Rare Grade gloves yesterday night. Guys, help me check and see how much credits I can get with these stats…”

“Old Bull, you here? Old Bull, you here?…”

Many people were talking and it sounded like it was quite lively.

“I only obtained authorization to connect to their communications channel, I haven’t accessed the authorization for communication since that might make us detected. Since Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group uses multiple channels to communicate, we’re currently connected to the channel around the area with the highest number of people. Using a source a.n.a.lysis, I surmise that it is probably a party channel inside Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base.” Digital Cat looked at the device in front of her and pressed something to readjust something. Then, the voices became clearer.

“Oh, that’s right. Old Bull. Why isn’t Pervert saying anything? This is so not like him.” From the channel, the voice of a Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s member continued.

“Don’t mention that anymore. That guy is unlucky. He’s already dead.” Answered a rather rough voice.

“Dead? No way! He’s inside the base with us. He didn’t even go out to take part in the Tyrant Plan, how could he be dead?”

“It’s because of the mission to defend the locked up little girl NPC that team three is responsible for. He speaks without any filter that he was killed instantly by the violent NPC.”

“Ha… This guy really made a fool of himself this time. I’m gonna laugh at him after he revives.”

The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s comms channel became noisy and chaotic again. A few people also giggled and laughed.

“Little girl?”

However, Feng Luo and his group’s attention was glued to two particular words.

The five of them did not expect to obtain information related to their mission objective so quickly. This was a good thing. This meant that the little girl was undoubtedly locked inside Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base.

At the same time, Feng Luo also noticed another detail, that a violent NPC had instantly killed a Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group player, leading him to make a guess.

The five players stopped speaking, focusing their attention to listen to the conversation from the channel.

“Hey, stop rambling, the guild leader said we aren’t supposed to discuss this. Don’t talk about this on the channel.” A slightly a.s.sertive voice appeared on the party’s comms channel, and the channel became quiet for a moment.

“Alright, alright. Guys, let’s change the topic.”

“Captain, can we join the Tyrant catching mission after our s.h.i.+fts? I heard that we can get 100 camp points per Tyrant caught as a reward. I’m only 20 points from the Beastification Gene Potion.” The player who first spoke asked expectantly.

“Beastification Gene… You can take having scales or fur? I, for one, prefer to earn some points so that I can exchange for the Intermediate Pet Biochip…”

“But I also want to take part in the Tyrant catching mission. It’s better than sitting here doing nothing…” The player’s question started another topic which caused multiple Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players to partic.i.p.ate in another noisy discussion.

However, as they reached this point, Feng Luo and the others looked shocked.

“F*ck me! Tyrant catching? That’s tough!” Big Pineapple exclaimed.

It was a good thing Digital Cat obtained the authorization to listen in to the conversation. This way, when they spoke on their side, their voices wouldn’t be heard on the other side. Otherwise, Big Pineapple’s exclamation might have already exposed them.

“Heh…” Big Pineapple covered his mouth in embarra.s.sment. As for the conversation on Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s channel, it kept going on.

“Hey, the people from Veterans Tribe are going to start their counterattack at 12. They are even posting on the forum asking other players not to go online for now.”

“But they don’t know that the longer they delay, the better it is for us. Don’t think of Tyrants as mindless, violent beasts. In fact, they are a bioweapon developed by the Umbrella Company. They already found out how to control them a long time ago. Otherwise, they’d never use the Tyrants in a real war.”

“One hour and 30 minutes. This should be enough for us to get another additional 300 Tyrants at least. With the combat strength of the Tyrant, this should be comparable to adding a few Boss monsters on our side.”

“Heh, they’re guaranteed to fail this time.”

“It’s not that they don’t want to start the counterattack earlier, I heard that many players were quarantined by the NPC army…”

…

By then, Feng Luo and the others understood why they wanted to catch Tyrants.

Bioweapon! Tyrants were actually monsters that could be controlled. This was definitely one of the strongest human weapons available.

“Good thing we heard the information on this channel. Otherwise, we might have missed this incredibly important piece of information. If by the time we are ready to break through the base and a group of Tyrants suddenly appeared from behind to pursue us, even if we had ten more people, it would still be almost impossible to complete this mission.” Onis.h.i.+ said with a heavy tone through the special agent communications channel.

“If Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group really does control a certain number of Tyrants, the Silvermoon City player counterattack at noon might have close to zero chance of succeeding. By then, all the tactics and plans that they worked on before would be useless. We can only depend on ourselves.” Phoenix’s voice appeared on the channel.

“We should try to disrupt their operation. Even if we can’t completely stop their plan, any attempt to slow them down would be great.” Digital Cat opined.

“But the problem is that we have no idea where these people are. Digital Sis, can your device also infiltrate Silvermoon City’s surveillance system?” Big Pineapple was currently standing beside the window. He was using the binoculars to look around, trying to find the squads that were, according to the players on the channel, “catching Tyrants.”

Their vision of the city was quite limited to multiple obstacles. Their view of the ground was mostly obstructed. Even though they were located over a hundred meters from the ground, they still couldn’t see everything clearly.

“I most certainly can, but it would take time. Silvermoon City has too many CCTVs, it would probably take some time for us to pinpoint their location.” Digital Cat said with a frown.

“That’s problematic then… But this is all we can do. We can only try this as it is our last resort.” Big Pineapple scratched his head in resignation.

“No, I have a plan.” Feng Luo’s pet wrist.w.a.tch appeared on his wrist. He extended a finger and pressed a b.u.t.ton.

“Squeak!”

A white light flashed across the room and the golden 24K appeared.

It first fluttered its wings and spun around happily above Feng Luo’s head before landing on its favorite position, which was Feng Luo’s shoulder area.

“24K! Old Feng, I really forgot you still have this trump card!” Big Pineapple’s eyes sparkled as he facepalmed himself.

He had seen 24K’s abilities before during the special agent mission, so he naturally knew what Feng Luo was going to do.

“Pet?” Digital Cat, on the other hand, stared at 24K. She was most probably curious about the tiny thing’s abilities.
