Chapter 482: Confusion
In Meteorite Company’s advanced research institute in Haimu City, Entrance C.
Xiao Jing and Xu bin descended from the helicopter one after the other through the rope ladder.
The two of them looked at each other.
Until now, the two of them still did not understand the situation.
In the early morning, the two of them suddenly received an emergency gathering mission from the Dark Knights.
Upon closer inspection, it was actually related to the main storyline quest? !
The two of them were immediately dumbfounded.
Hadn’t the main storyline of District 8 been interrupted by the Night Owl organization a long time ago? Could it be that they had made some new discoveries?
Ever since the first-generation meteorite was destroyed, the players deployed by the Federation and hidden within the Dark Knights had stopped taking action.
In any case, the main storyline progress was also frozen, so they should just do whatever they were supposed to do.
However, who would have thought that in the middle of the night, the Dark Knights would suddenly launch such an emergency operation?
A total of 20 elite team members had been dispatched, and the scale of the operation was even larger than the previous operation in Pine City.
After receiving the news, the Federation’s headquarters in District 8 was also dumbfounded.
......
The incident had happened so suddenly that the command post immediately asked Xiao Jing and Xu Bin to join the mission to investigate.
When they were in the helicopter, Xiao Jing also tried to ask the Dark Knights’ NPC team leader.
Unfortunately, his honor was too low, so the team leader ignored him.
“Now, let’s announce the mission plan. We are now at the Meteorite Company’s advanced research institute in Haimu City. Our mission is to seal and clean up the research institute’s Entrance C, and then invade the research institute from Entrance C to carefully search for the research materials. Do you understand? ! ”
“Yes! ! ”
The 9th elite team received the order and immediately rushed to the right side of the research institute.
“Xu Bin, do you feel that the voice coming from the communication station is a bit familiar? ”
“Huh? Is it? ” Xu Bin patted Xiao Jing’s shoulder. “You heard wrong. I heard that he has gone missing. There are also rumors that he was kidnapped by Night Owl. ”
“So you also think that it sounds like his voice, right? ”
Xu Bin curled his lips. “Don’t think too much. Work seriously. This mission is related to the main storyline. We must do our best to ensure that we can join the main storyline mission chain. ”
“Yes, I understand. ” Xiao Jing nodded. He was in high spirits and said, “This operation is so sudden. Night Owl probably won’t know in advance. It will most likely be smoother than the previous operation in Pine City. ”
...
Everything was as Xiao Jing had expected. The movement of the Dark Knights was unusually smooth!
The Dark Knights only used less than half an hour to control all the entrances and exits of the central research room.
The squads invaded the research institute and thoroughly cleaned up the zombies inside, collecting all kinds of research materials.
In order to complete the main storyline, Xu Bin and Xiao Jing worked hard. They did their best to kill zombies and earn points along the way, and they were praised by the team leader.
They even relied on Xu Bin’s special skills to find the hidden blueprint. They even found the access card to the secret research room!
They went around to the central research room and found a sturdy alloy door in place.
Xu Bin and Xiao Jing found a way to find the spare battery pack from the reserve materials warehouse. They brought the battery pack back to the second basement to repair the power supply.
After almost an hour, the two of them finally completed the installation of the battery pack with the help of the elite Dark Knights and returned to the secret research room.
“Well done! ” Colonel Barker nodded in approval.
Xu Bin and Xiao Jing stood at the side obediently, waiting for the hint of the mission.
Barker turned on the walkie-talkie. “Commander Fang Heng, the power supply of the underground secret research room has been restored. You can come down now. ”
“Huh? ” Hearing what Barker said, Xu Bin and Xiao Jing were stunned. Then, they looked at each other at the same time and quickly communicated with their eyes. “He said Fang Heng, right? Did I hear wrong? ”
Ding.
The elevator door opened. Fang Heng and the others walked out of the elevator and walked straight to the entrance of the secret research room through the passage.
Xu Bin looked at the people who walked out of the elevator and was stunned for a moment. He shouted in disbelief, “Fang Heng? ! ”
Fang Heng looked at Xu Bin and Xiao Jing, a little stunned as well.
“That’s right! The two old acquaintances from the operation in Pine City! The two of them can barely be considered elite Dark Knights, ” he mused.
Time was too tight, and Fang Heng had contacted Dark Knights to carry out the operation plan while forgetting that they still had players from the Federation.
Several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng’s mind.
“Forget it. It’s outside of the plan, but it wouldn’t have much of an impact. My main storyline contribution points can only last for another four days at most. When the contribution points leaderboard rankings of District 8 are released, it will be revealed that my contribution points are far ahead. The Federation would then most likely be able to deduce that I have the means to open a Tier 2 dimensional door.
Currently, since the other party still didn’t have enough information, he might be able to influence the judgment of Kou Huai from District 7 and make Kou Huai mistakenly think that he was returning to District 8.
Thinking of that, Fang Heng smiled and greeted the two of them, “It’s you two. Thank you for your hard work. It’s so late at night. ”
“This... ” Xu Bin and Xiao Jing stood awkwardly on the spot, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Was it really Fang Heng?
Wasn’t it rumored that he had gone missing?
There were also people who said that he had become the leader of the Scavenger Army and was part of the anti-federation forces in District 7, causing havoc in the game and turning District 7 into a mess.
When did he return to District 8?
And he even became the deputy commander of the Dark Knights? !
Why? Why were they only at the private rank?
So Fang Heng had transferred back to District 8?
Putting everything else aside, how did he manage to raise his reputation points in the Dark Knights to such a high level in such a short time?
Could it be...
As they thought about it, the two of them simultaneously shifted their gazes to Lucia who was next to Fang Heng.
By living off a woman?
It couldn’t be that. Barker was only a colonel.
It wasn’t the right time to ask. Although he was full of doubts, Xu Bin noticed Colonel Barker’s gaze and nudged Xiao Jing. “Hurry up and open the door. ”
“Oh, okay. ”
Xiao Jing came to his senses and walked forward. He swiped the magnetic card he had collected on the door sensor.
“Verification successful. The system is rebooting... ”
Ka...
After the verification was completed, the metal door was unlocked.
Xiao Jing pushed the door open. Before he could take a step, he heard Fang Heng say sternly, “Wait! Don’t go in yet! ”
Xiao Jing quivered and immediately retreated.
Then, everyone heard a dense sizzling sound coming from the door.
Behind them, the elite Dark Knights immediately raised their weapons and aimed at the entrance.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
In the blink of an eye, a large group of Lickers pounced out from inside the room!
“Fire! ”
The elite Dark Knights immediately aimed at the Lickers and pulled the trigger.
With the continuous firing, the Lickers that rushed out of the door crazily fell one after another at the narrow entrance.
