Chapter 421: Battle Plan
“Concerning the intel provided by the NPC, I’m sure everyone has already read them in detail. The target, a little girl named Sulli, was kidnapped into Silvermoon City. The kidnapping was planned by an ex-employee of the Umbrella Company. The objective of the perpetrator was not mentioned, but there’s a 90% chance the little girl is currently located inside the secret base of an adventurer’s organization inside Silvermoon City.”
Feng Luo said as he projected the mission information from his terminal into the middle of the group.
“Based on the intel, our first job is to identify the adventurer’s organization. NPCs called player guilds adventurer’s organizations, but there are several guilds inside Silvermoon City...” Phoenix said.
“It’s Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group.” Feng Luo said firmly.
“Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group? It sounds quite familiar? Oh, I remember, it’s the first guild in Silvermoon City that joined the rebel army camp.” Big Pineapple’s eyes darted from one side to the other. Clearly, he had not prepared enough for the mission. He did not even remember the main perpetrator of the biohazard crisis in Silvermoon City.
On the other hand, Digital Cat and Onishi did not even flinch at Feng Luo’s claim. From the mission and forum info they obtained, they had already analyzed and came to the conclusion that the target was probably Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, but they were not as certain as Feng Luo.
Feng Luo had known that Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group and Wesker, the Boss level person from Umbrella Company, were related; ever since the mission in Roguetown. Since Sulli was kidnapped by Wesker’s people, and the target was inside Silvermoon City, he was pretty sure that they were hiding inside the secret base of Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group.
“This means that this special agent mission requires us to forcefully infiltrate a guild’s base. On top of that, we have to rescue an eight-year-old girl who does not have any combat ability and escort her out of Silvermoon City. The mission seems a bit too difficult.” Big Pineapple scratched his head with wide eyes.
In the game, although the bases of player guilds within cities did not have six-barrelled machine guns or other heavy weapons defending them, they might still be equipped with complete surveillance systems.
A guild’s base typically had over a hundred players defending them. For the five of them to rescue and escort a young NPC girl with no combat ability out of the city with so many enemies, even if all five of them had awakened their Force, it would still be impossible.
“The system probably already considered this. That’s why it has provided us with some mission items. For example, this identity disguise chip can disguise us as the rebel army, and we even have a guild disguise badge, which allows us to disguise as a Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group player.” Onishi said while holding a translucent chip and blank guild badge.
Both items were on the first level of the special agent passcode chest given to them for this mission. They were among the free-to-use items inside the chests.
“Then, we can use the disguise potion to also change our body types and faces before disguising as members of Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group to infiltrate their base. Then, we can sneak the target out from there... This plan sounds like it can work.” Big Pineapple mulled over the possibilities.
“It’s not so simple. Since it’s a secret base, the defense should be very strong. Disguising as a normal guild member may not provide us with access to the lockup area. Also, the higher-ups would definitely be familiar with each other. Even if we used the disguise potion, we would be exposed very quickly once we meet someone and are forced to interact with them. Also, the base is definitely covered with surveillance devices. Any abnormal behavior would probably be seen by the people inside the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s surveillance room. We should remember that though the entire Silvermoon City’s communication system has been disrupted, people from Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group should have encrypted communications channel provided by the rebel army. If any of them notice anything suspicious, it is highly likely that we would be quickly surrounded by a group of elite players. If we get trapped inside the base... There’s no need for me to remind you of the consequences.” Feng Luo shook his head and mentioned a few tough problems.
“I can handle the second and third problems.” Digital Cat, who was deconstructing the T-750 prototype, said as she pushed the side of the technology spectacles. “I have an infiltration device that the NPCs provided on the second level of my passcode chest. In addition, my Chip Master level has already reached Expert. I can get our special agent wrist watch connected to the encrypted channel of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group with a little bit of time. By then, if there are any issues, at least we’d have time to react. Also, as long as we can enter their base, I can easily modify the images on their security surveillance system if we install a beacon on their terminal, that would solve the surveillance problem.”
“Holy crap, that’s awesome Digital Sis!” Big Pineapple looked ecstatic as he heard Digital Cat’s words.
Phoenix and Onishi also stared at Digital Cat, surprised. After all, though it had been eight months since the game began, the number of Expert Level life professions was still quite low.
Feng Luo’s heart skipped a beat once more when he heard that. Digital Cat was actually at the Expert Level for the Chip Master profession already. Her progress in both her life professions was truly frightening.
“With Digital Sis destroying their surveillance system, the success rate of the plan is now at least 80%, right? This way, we only need to think about how we take the target back to the NPC after rescuing her from the base.” Big Pineapple said happily.
“Don’t celebrate too early. If the mission could be done so easily, the system probably would not have arranged for two other NPC special agents to participate. I think we need to be careful. Perhaps this is the system giving us a hint saying that we may have to face special agent-level NPCs during this mission.” Feng Luo did not mention that an important basis for his conclusion was the existence of the cellular recovery fluid that could heal injury status in the passcode chest. However, it was certainly something that he worried about.
“Special agent-level NPC... NPC who has awakened the Force!”
Clearly, everyone remembered the strength of the three NPCs on Death Hunter island.
“That’s true. We should definitely pay attention to this.”
Everyone nodded with stern expressions. Only Big Pineapple blinked at Feng Luo.
“But right now, there’s one more problem. Where exactly is Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base? I couldn’t find it on the forum. The forum is also managed by War’s supercomputer, it must have blocked us from accessing the information.” Phoenix said, a little exasperated. Onishi also frowned.
“On this, I have a friend who might know.” Feng Luo grinned. He accessed his communication device and called an ID.
“Mr. Feng?” The device connected and Black Rose’s surprised face appeared on the screen.
“Miss Rose, thank you for your help yesterday.” Feng Luo greeted first.
“No need to thank me. In fact, we didn’t really help you much. If you did not take care of the Tyrant and zombies, we might have lost someone when we were retreating.” Black Rose was clearly more courteous when she spoke, compared to the last time they met at the Exchange. It was probably because they were now in different positions.
Or perhaps it was due to the things she witnessed yesterday night.
“Miss Rose, I actually wanted to ask you about something...” Feng Luo did not hesitate and dived straight into the main topic.
...
After a few minutes inside a tent within the quarantine zone for players, Black Rose turned off the communications device. Her face relaxed a lot more.
A female player also equipped with Scout’s equipment walked into the tent and asked with an odd expression, “Sis Rose, from your expression, it looks like something good happened?”
Black Rose smiled and said, “Yes, something good did happen. It looks like your idol will help us in counterattacking Silvermoon City. Would you call this good news?”
“My idol? Who’s that? Miss Rose, do you mean God Onishi? How’s that possible? Why would God Onishi come to Silvermoon City?” The female Scout player was first dumbstruck but then reacted quickly. She looked at Black Rose in disbelief.
Onishi’s fame was not limited within North City. As the top superstar player in North City, his overall superstar popularity rank was also quite high.
He was widely known as one of the strongest Scout players in War. As such, his fame among Scout players was even greater. This female Scout player from Veterans Tribe was clearly a loyal fan.
“That’s right, it’s Onishi, the ‘Number One Expert’ of North City in the past.” Black Rose nodded. She remembered the conversation with Feng Luo,and she saw the expressions of the others, apart from Feng Luo, through the screen.
After being the director of the intelligence department and the captain of the Scout team of Veterans Tribe for a long time, she was incredibly good at observing and noticing details.
It was clear that Onishi, the “Number One Expert” of North City, was not the leader of the mission squad. The person who seemed to be in control of the team was Feng Luo.
Black Rose would have been shocked if this had happened sooner. After all, a top superstar player like Onishi would most probably sit in the captain’s position during missions. This was because they were, typically the strongest in the team.
After thinking about the things she saw last night, Black Rose was no longer surprised that Feng Luo was the one who led the team. Even the strongest Scout player like Onishi would not have been able to fight against a Tyrant and a group of Elite Grade zombies at the same time.
In an earlier conversation between her and Monkey, there was another important piece of information...
She gathered her thoughts. Black Rose focused her thoughts on the thing that she and Feng Luo previously discussed.
“Our guild has more than 1,000 players still quarantined. Most of them will be released from the quarantine by 12. The guild alliance will set the time of counterattack at 12 noon.”
If they can infiltrate Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base in this time and destroy Roaring Dragon Light Wind’s important mission, it would most definitely help in terms of morale.
If it were someone else, I might have thought it was impossible since the success rate should be quite low. But... they might really be successful.
