Lin Huang had no idea that although the thread he posted was off topic, the video had caught the attention of all the organizations on checkpoint 63.
Although Zhu Hong left a comment saying that it was a prank, the possibility of it being a prank was high. However, she turned around and forwarded the video to the Hong Alliance group on checkpoint 63 as soon as she closed the forum, gathering people to explore it.
Zhang Xiaoshan did the same. He began gathering people as soon as he closed the forum.
Most of the other organizations made their move.
Most of the people on checkpoint 63 could tell that the video was real because all the details could not be faked. Although they had no idea how exactly the person who filmed the video managed to go so deep into the hive, they did not doubt the authenticity of the video.
Some organizations got professionals to do an appraisal. Naturally, the result was that the video was real without any special effects.
To confirm the source of the video, Zhu Hong even contacted Zhong Liyan to ask if he was the one who filmed the video. Of course, Zhong Liyan denied it.
Some people suggested that it might be Lin Xie who did it because Lin Xie was the only one on the Stairway Tree who could afford a god relic with Stairway Tree points. However, they found out that none of the god relic items in the Stairway Mall were missing. Just like that, Lin Huang was eliminated as a suspect.
Although they could not find the source of the video, the authenticity of the video was confirmed. The people on checkpoint 63 were even more certain that the bug horde must have something to do with the god relic that appeared out of nowhere. It proved that the possibility of the god relic's existence was extremely high.
All the organizations began forming teams to get their hands on the god relic.
Since checkpoint 63 of the Stairway Tree was occupied by the bug horde, nobody could log in. Zhu Hong from the Hong Alliance called for a video conference right away.
"For this operation, quality is more important than quantity. Since it's an undercover operation, we only need people who are good at hiding, illusions, stealing, or fast enough. Each team will have one person in charge of hiding, one person in charge of stealing god relic, and at most, one person with investigation techniques. A team of two to three people, no more than three people at most. The more people there are, the easier it will be for us to be exposed. "
The Tang Alliance, the Heaven Alliance, and the other organizations also made similar arrangements. Each of them formed a few teams that were suitable for undercover operations. Those who were only good at fighting and those who were not suitable for stealth were not selected.
Naturally, Lin Huang had also received the message from the deputy chief of the Heaven Alliance, Jian Fei. Of course, he would not join such a team. In the end, the Heaven Alliance only managed to gather eleven people, and they formed four small teams.
"Since the Heavenly Alliance is already prepared to explore, the other factions should be about the same." Lin Huang rejoiced inwardly. Just the Heavenly Alliance alone had gathered 11 people. The total number of people participating in the exploration tomorrow would definitely be more than 16.
The next morning, past six in the morning, the monster horde on checkpoint 63 of the Stairway Tree had completely retreated.
Before Lin Huang woke up, the members of the major forces had already logged into the Evil Alliance and started to gather.
Aside from the Heaven Alliance and the Hong Alliance, which had gathered four to five teams each, a few other forces had also gathered one or two teams. There were even some small forces that did not have enough people to gather a few teams.
Before 6.30 am, the 36 teams climbed the trunk of the Stairway Tree from different starting points.
Lin Huang only woke up when it was almost 7 am
He washed up, had breakfast, and had a cup of coffee. He then logged into the Evil Alliance calmly when it was almost 7.30 am
Bloody, which was summoned, soon noticed the teams that were sent by the major forces.
"There are a total of 36 teams participating in the exploration this time. There are 91 people in total."
"Only 91 people? That's less than I expected. "Lin Huang raised his brow when he heard that. "I thought we'd get more than 100 people no matter what."
"There are only two to three people in each team. It seems like they're trying to sneak in like us, so they must've picked the most suitable ones. It's not easy to pick 91 out of less than 500 people. "Bloody knew what Zhu Hong and the rest were planning to do as soon as it looked at the number of people in each team.
"Moreover, the sky will turn dark in 11 hours at the most. Based on our efficiency of clearing a hive every ten minutes yesterday, we can only clear 66 hives at most today. We must reduce the clearing speed of each hive to less than seven minutes and 15 seconds if we want to clear all 91 hives. "
"Got it. Then, let's cut to the chase after entering the hives. Tell me which fork Grimace and I should enter directly. "Lin Huang nodded.
"Then, let's enter the first hive now. There's no need to wait until we're done with the exploration. My exploration work won't be affected in the hives. " Bloody did not waste any more time after speaking. It got Lin Huang to project the map directly and pointed at the location of the first hive.
Lin Huang summoned Nine-tailed Cat and teleported there directly.
Lin Huang crushed a Lucky Card and a Double Reward Card when they arrived at the entrance of the hive.
He then summoned Grimace and told him about the plan to speed up the operation through voice transmission.
Grimace nodded and grabbed Lin Huang's wrist.
"The first fork, second left." As soon as Bloody was done speaking, Grimace disappeared from where he was with Lin Huang.
In less than two seconds, he had entered the first fork.
"The second fork, right one."
"The third fork, left three."
"The fourth fork …"
In less than two minutes, Grimace brought Lin Huang to the area where the first Queen Mother was. Nine-tailed Cat went on a killing spree and appeared near the second hive with Lin Huang and Grimace.
Later on, Grimace brought Lin Huang along as they entered the hive. Their hunting efficiency increased by a few folds.
Bloody's initial suggestion was to increase their speed to less than seven minutes and 15 seconds. In the end, it was increased to less than three minutes.
Lin Huang spent less than five hours clearing all 91 hives.
Out of the 36 exploration teams, only five of them returned to the station in time after noticing that something was wrong. The remaining 31 teams were killed in the hives. None of their members survived.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang logged out of the Evil Alliance as soon as he was done with the hunt. He did not have the time to look at the hive outbreak on the Stairway Tree at all.
The reason being, he finally heard the notification that he was waiting for when he killed the 53rd hive. However, he held it in until all 91 hives were cleared.
Sitting on the couch in the hotel's living room, Lin Huang clicked on Xiao Hei's notification while feeling a little excited.
