"The last time we worked together was on Death Hunter Island. I didn't think we'd have to do this mission together again."
When the players from the three departments met for the first time, the undercurrent between each other was surging.
After a period of silence among the three high-level NPC special agents in the room, Hunting Tiger, who was shrouded in a player's heavy armor, spoke first.
"The situation has really changed a lot during this period of time. The number of people in our department dying in this period of time is much faster than before."
"This mission is definitely one with a slim chance of survival. They have over a thousand people in their headquarters, and they have all kinds of equipment that is not inferior to the Federation Army."
"We also don't know how many people will be able to return alive in the end."
Hunting Tiger's words undoubtedly made the atmosphere in the room even heavier.
"Hmph, the higher-ups recruited adventurers to be able to avoid such losses. But who would have thought that the adventurers of the two assessments would be taken by a person from the Investigation Bureau! "
"A certain department should have made a lot of money from this these few days."
Nightingale's voice had a hint of coldness.
"The two assessments were all about strength. Don't you think it's a little embarrassing for someone to say this?"
"Especially the first time, an adventurer who has not yet awakened the Force forced her to use the Force against the rules in a duel. Don't tell me you don't remember?"
Haruko said calmly as she knelt on a square rug on the floor.
"Hmph, that was just an accident. If it happens again, she won't even be able to last one move!"
Haruko's words undoubtedly made Nightingale recall the battle on Death Hunter Island.
It was obvious that Phoenix, who had not displayed any superhuman strength in his previous observation, had suddenly exploded with strength that caught him off guard and almost defeated him.
This incident was a stain on his life. Naturally, it was still fresh in his memory, so he gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Alright, the two of you, stop arguing. Don't forget what we're here for!"
Hunting Tiger's eyebrows furrowed under his mask.
"According to the original plan, we'll wait here for the rebel army's insider to create an opportunity, then we'll invade together.
But … if that's the case, we'll definitely lose the initiative. Most importantly, if the rebel army has ulterior motives, then our mission won't be as simple as failing! "
The expressions of the three of them were not very good.
They did not believe that the rebel army would leak the information to them out of good intentions.
If the rebel army had purposely announced their attack in advance, they could have waited until the Federation had attracted the firepower of the Umbrella Corporation and the military. Then, they could have easily entered the base and gotten what they needed.
In that case, not only would the Federation suffer heavy losses, but they would also end up benefiting the other party.
"Although the higher-ups said that we used a mole who had been hidden for a long time and had never been used, to let him participate in the enemy's operation this time."
"However, we still can't put all our hopes on him alone. In particular, we don't even know if he has already joined the enemy's side during the long period of hiding! "
"So, we have to be prepared for both sides."
Haruko said.
"We came across two teams of local adventurers killing each other on the way. After we killed them, we got a pass that allowed us to reach the garrison camp outside the Umbrella Corporation's hidden base."
"However, this pass can only allow ten people to enter."
Haruko used her special agent glasses to project a 3D map and pointed at a marked location.
Previously, Big Pineapple had said that the mission target was the Umbrella Corporation's hidden headquarters. However, after everyone looked at the mission introduction carefully, they realized that the location of the mission was precisely in the military camp above the headquarters.
This actually made everyone more suspicious. If they came across a random battle on the side of the road, it just so happened to provide a solution to their most difficult problem.
Then, everyone would instead be worried about whether the system had more difficult arrangements for this mission.
"We need three spots."
"We also need three spots."
After seeing the mark on the map, Hunting Tiger and Nightingale's eyes lit up, just like the special agent players from before.
"No, the mission was obtained by our people, so naturally, our people should be the majority. Both sides only have a total of five spots, and the people carrying out this mission might be more dangerous than the people outside. So, what I mean is, all of you choose adventurers. "
Haruko shook her head.
"No, if it's all adventurers, then there's no way to contact them in an emergency."
Hunting Tiger objected in a low voice.
"We need to arrange for someone to be in charge of communication. At the same time, the abilities of these new adventurers are still a little too weak. We need to arrange for a senior special agent to deal with the powerhouses that they might encounter along the way."
In reality, communication was not completely restricted.
Between the few NPC special agents, there was a set of secret codes that had been discussed beforehand. Through the secret codes, even if they were eavesdropped, it was impossible to know what they were saying.
However, this method was a little cumbersome, and it was impossible to transmit complicated information.
Moreover, because the players had not gone through true professional training, if they opened it up, there was a high chance that they would accidentally spill the beans. It was better to directly prohibit communication.
"The abilities of the adventurers are too weak …"
Haruko's gaze was a little strange, but she did not say anything.
"Alright … Hunting Tiger, King should have come with you, right?"
Instead, he changed his tone and asked Hunting Tiger.
"She said that we can discuss it and carry it out ourselves. She wants to act alone … You know, I have no right to make decisions for her."
Hunting Tiger had a helpless expression on his face.
"Nightingale, your concealment and infiltration skills are the best. You can join this team."
After that, he turned his head to look at Nightingale.
In this team, five people were from the investigation bureau. If the investigation bureau's high-ranking special agents were to lead the team, then the people from the other two departments would definitely become free thugs.
Although the mission this time emphasized that the three departments had to cooperate with each other, the competitive habits that had been cultivated for a long time made Hunting Tiger choose Nightingale.
"Alright!"
Nightingale nodded with a cold expression.
…
"Nightingale?"
After a few minutes, after receiving this decision from the NPC trio, Feng Luo frowned slightly.
Feng Luo looked at Nightingale, who had a cold expression, and frowned slightly.
To be honest, Nightingale was not the candidate he had hoped for, because Nightingale's personality was too cold, and she held grudges.
In the previous two meetings, both parties had not been too happy.
Moreover, Nightingale belonged to the Security Bureau, which meant that he was on the same side as Lonely Man with Illness and Young and Frivolous.
In this way, there were three unstable elements in the team, and one of them was even a high-ranking NPC.
The only good thing was that Feng Luo knew Nightingale's combat strength. Although he was stronger than the average player who had awakened the Force, there was a limit to his strength.
He was not like Haruko or Aida Wong, who had the strength to absolutely suppress players. Naturally, it was even more impossible for him to suppress the current Feng Luo.
"Bring the things. Let's go and complete that whatever mission you guys are talking about!"
Nightingale's eyes swept over Phoenix, whose expression was not very good, and he said coldly with a sullen face.
"Wait a minute!"
Feng Luo said directly.
"Hmm?"
Nightingale turned his head abruptly, and a strong aura bloomed from his body. In an instant, it was as if a gust of wind had risen in the small house.
Dust flew on the ground, and a wave of Force rushed towards Feng Luo.
"Pa!"
However, when this wave of Force reached a meter in front of Feng Luo, it was blocked by an equally strong wave of Force. After colliding with each other and making a loud bang, both dissipated.
"Huh …"
With the Intermediate Special Agent glasses, everyone present could see the wave that represented the Force.
As such, they naturally understood what had happened!
"Before the operation, we first need to go to the leveling spot outside the town to farm some 'high-grade Smoke Soil.' It would be even better if we could get top-grade Smoke Soil."
Looking at Nightingale, who was looking at him with sharp eyes, Feng Luo said calmly.
If they were acting as NPCs, and Nightingale wanted to obtain the authority of leadership, Feng Luo might not have much to say.
However, this operation was disguised as a player. Wouldn't an NPC think too highly of himself if he wanted to completely command them?
However, it was definitely not good to have an internal conflict here because of this kind of thing.
As such, after Feng Luo explained, he turned his head and took out a box from his tactical vest and handed it to Haruko.
