At this moment, Sheyan stood out and allowed the lamplight to illuminate his face.
"Hey guys, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Seaman. You guys should recognize me right?"
The few guards glanced at him before whispering into each other's ears.
"Yes, it's him."
"Oh, I've heard of his name before. (Legend level + 1)"
"I heard this brat did pretty well on the battlefield."
"..."
The guard's stern expression became less solemn as he inquired uneasily.
"Mister Lieutenant Colonel, although it's presumptuous of me to ask such a question, it really isn't appropriate to visit Madam Noah in the wee hours of the morning."
Sheyan's expression sank as he replied.
"Are you trying to pry into military secrets? Or should I call the military police to clear the way? "
The guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shrugged his shoulders. Ultimately, he allowed them to pass.
What happened next was needless to say. Sheyan and the rest didn't even bother knocking on the door, but directly climbed down from the rooftop and entered from the balcony. The anti-theft door was completely useless against them.
When Lieutenant Colonel Wester felt something amiss and sprang up from the bed, Zi's figure had already dissolved into the darkness of the doorway. When she reappeared, her curved dagger was already pressed against his neck.
Sheyan was speechless. He even had a misconception that Zi wasn't a mage type contestant, but an agile close combat contestant ….. However, what Sheyan didn't know was that Zi's experiences were far more arduous than his. In this cruel world, a flower vase couldn't possibly survive just by relying on her outer appearance. For a woman who fought her way to the position of party leader, how could she possibly hide behind the back?
Sheyan drew the curtains and switched on the table lamp. He crudely shone the lamplight onto Wester's face while sizing up his appearance.
This was a man around 40 years old. However, he didn't look like the muscular, silent and sturdy fellow that was riddled with bullet scars. Instead, he was a plump man with sideburns ….. His belly was perfectly round, as though he was 5 or 6 months pregnant. His pair of beady eyes flickered with radiance.
The latter had already calmed down. Although the dagger was pressed against his neck, he slowly sat up and lit a cigarette. His beady eyes rapidly spun around.
"Let me guess why you're here. Do you want money or goods? Oh, oh! You must be avenging that Kram, right? Yes, yes, I did kill him, but I still want to say that it has nothing to do with me. Someone asked me to do it. After all, he took the goods but refused to pay us. Listen to me, friend. If you kill me, you won't get anything. Instead, you'll be hunted down by many people. Why don't you take a considerable amount of wealth and leave? I promise I won't pursue this matter …. "
The four of them remained silent as they waited for Lieutenant Colonel Wester to ramble on for half a day. Finally, Sheyan poured him a cup of water and indifferently said.
"Drink it. Continue after you drink it."
Lieutenant Colonel Wester, however, kept his mouth shut. His two bewildered eyes darted back and forth.
Zi retrieved the ruby ring she obtained from Chedeliarchos Skoa and tossed it before him. Then, she coldly declared.
"Do you recognize this ring?"
Lieutenant Colonel Wester's complexion turned deathly pale as his voice turned shrill.
"You … How is this possible? I, I, I didn't do it! "
Zi continued to remain silent. The atmosphere was so tense that it felt like it was frozen in ice. Only Wester's panting could be heard clearly. The dread of death gripped his entire body. He deeply understood that if these people were here because of the Chedeliarchos Skoa incident, then his chances of survival would be minuscule.
What he could offer in exchange for his life, the Chedeliarchos family could easily offer. What he couldn't offer, the Chedeliarchos family could easily offer!
Right now, the only thing supporting Wester's belief was that these people didn't act upon entering. They definitely hoped to obtain something from him. However, their silent attitude caused him to feel an additional pressure! After an entire ten minutes, Wester finally spoke with a bitter voice.
"Fine, what do you want?"
Zi coldly replied.
"Listen up, I'll only give you one chance to answer. If you give me a wrong answer, or say you don't know, then you're dead."
Wester's eyeballs spun wildly as he replied.
"But, how do I know you'll spare me after answering?"
Zi insipidly replied.
"You have no choice! To you, if you don't answer, then you'll definitely die. If you answer, then we might be lying to you, but similarly, we might not be lying to you. Thus, you have a chance of survival. I'm going to ask my questions. "
Wester smiled bitterly.
"Ask away."
Zi bluntly continued.
"Although Chedeliarchos Skoa is a wastrel from a wealthy family, he is actually quite proficient in paleontology. Only, his dissolute reputation has masked his talents. I can confirm that the mosquito amber used to extract dinosaur genes had fallen into Chedeliarchos Skoa's hands. However, I didn't discover this amber on his corpse. I need to know its whereabouts. "
When Wester heard this question, he visibly sighed in relief.
"That amber is currently in Hammond's hands. You guys must know him right? He's the legendary father of dinosaurs. That year, Jurassic Park on Jurassic Island was founded by him. However, after that dinosaur island's mishaps, he directly went bankrupt. Yet a year ago, he sought me out and was willing to pay an exorbitant price for that mosquito amber. At that time, I was coincidentally planning an operation regarding Chedeliarchos Skoa. Thus, I casually accepted this request. "
Zi expressionlessly replied.
"That means to say, you killed off Chedeliarchos Skoa because of other matters, and the amber was merely obtained in passing."
"Correct." Wester helplessly replied. "Of course, if you want to know my true motive for finding Chedeliarchos Skoa, I can tell you. However, you guys have to be prepared to be hunted down at all times."
Sheyan suddenly interjected.
"Don't complicate matters, Wester. How do you prove your words are true?"
Wester immediately replied.
"I have a recording of my conversations with everyone."
As he spoke, Wester picked up a slipper beside him. Naturally, the contestants weren't afraid of him playing tricks. Instead, they watched as Wester used the slipper to press against the wall. Presumably, he was trying to activate some sort of mechanism with the pattern on the bottom of the slipper. Then, Wester fished out a phone from under the bed. Pressing a button, a voice could be heard.
"I'm Hammond, I need that mosquito amber."
"Mister Hammond??? Woah woah, since you're introduced by No.1, then I won't lie. After investigation, the mosquito amber is currently in the hands of Chedeliarchos Skoa. Obtaining that item is extremely difficult. "
"Listen up, Lieutenant Colonel. These gigantic creatures from the Cretaceous Period have already evolved and are slowly evolving into a new species. One day, humanity will perish under the claws and sharp teeth of these creatures. Therefore, we must kill them now, before our species is annihilated. "
"I'm sorry Mister Hammond, I don't understand. Furthermore, what does killing those damned green lizards have to do with the amber?"
"You still don't understand? Their genetic fragments originate from a single drop of blood within the mosquito amber. I must obtain a blood sample from the mosquito amber and carefully research it. Perhaps, I can discover the fatal genetic flaw within these dinosaurs! If I succeed, I can take advantage of the fact that they haven't evolved to repair their genetic fragments and thoroughly exterminate them. It will be as simple as spraying mosquito repellent. "
"Oh, Mister Hammond, the telephone bill is rather expensive. Therefore, you only need to answer me. How much money can you fork out to purchase this mosquito amber? This plaything that belongs to the sole heir of the Chedeliarchos family."
"… … …"
Sheyan glanced towards Zi. Zi nodded and broadcasted the information she just received into the party channel.
[You have obtained a crucial piece of information.]
[Main mission change: Please obtain the starting item of the story from Hammond – 'Mosquito amber'!]
[Warning: If Hammond's research on the mosquito amber is successful and publicized, it will lead to terrifying consequences. It can easily decimate the most powerful dinosaurs at an extremely low cost. The entire Jurassic World will crumble.]
[You have 48 hours to complete this task.]
[Warning: If mission fails, all your basic attributes will be deducted by 33% and you will be unable to enter the Jurassic Park world henceforth.]
Zi softly replied.
"Hammond is now a public figure and should be easy to locate. 48 hours should be sufficient."
Sheyan nodded and fished out a 'perfect dinosaur crystal' he obtained from Zi. He then spoke to Lieutenant Colonel Wester.
"This is your reward, however, I want to borrow your house. Furthermore, for the next 48 hours, it is best you don't stop for even a moment. You have to be constantly on a transportation vehicle. Believe it or not, I've already warned you. Incidentally, let me introduce myself, I am Seaman. "
Wester bluntly received the 'Perfect Dinosaur Crystal', as he carefully scrutinized Sheyan. Then, he earnestly said.
"As expected, it's you, Lieutenant Colonel Seaman. I've previously read about you in an internal report. Since that's the case, I'll trust you this time. Can I bring my personal belongings with me? "
"Not a problem." Sheyan replied. "Also, it's best you leave discreetly. The fewer people who see you, the better." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
