The seventh traitor?
When he saw Xiao Wu's message, Xu Yuheng's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly checked the information it sent him.
But he never expected that the seventh traitor …
He actually knew him!
"Second Brother, now that the traitors know that they've been exposed, what should we do now?"
A small robot appeared on his communication device.
Its electronic eyes blinked at Xu Yuheng as it asked anxiously.
Xu Yuheng gritted his teeth.
Today, he and Bai Feng went to the barracks very secretly, but he didn't expect that the traitors would still find out.
He was careless …
Would these smelly rats in the gutter continue to act after knowing that their plan was exposed?
But … this was also good.
Xu Yuheng's expression relaxed a little. At least now he knew who the seventh traitor was. It was worth it to make him reveal himself.
At the same time, he also felt a little heavy.
There were still three people who hadn't been exposed. If they hid as deeply as the seventh person, then this Lan Yue City …
Xu Yuheng shook his head.
The plot setting of this game was quite brain-burning. It actually played a spy battle. Some high-end players would probably like it.
With that thought in mind, he calmly said to Xiao Wu, "Don't panic, continue to monitor. Don't let go of any clues. Find the remaining three traitors as soon as possible."
As for whether the traitors would cancel the plan to blow up the array … this actually depended on the decision-making ability of the organizer.
If it was canceled, at least it could ensure that no NPCs would be injured or killed because of this matter. Later on, they could catch the traitors one by one.
Although it was a little troublesome, it actually made no difference to the players. After all, if they thought it was troublesome, they wouldn't play this kind of character cultivation game.
Once the traitors were brought to justice, the mission of protecting Lan Yue City would most likely be completed.
And if it wasn't canceled and the traitors continued to act, then they would naturally follow the original plan.
This was the benefit of having first-hand information.
If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to fish out the remaining three people, they could have already captured them by now. The power of artificial intelligence was vividly demonstrated in this incident.
Xu Yuheng smiled.
His family's Xiao Li was still very smart. He had actually started to plan early on and created such a sharp weapon.
With Xiao Wu around, it should be much easier for him to manage the country.
"Keep an eye on Bryce. I'm afraid he's panicking now." Xu Yuheng said, "Once a person loses his cool, it's easy to make the wrong decision. Maybe he will bring us a little surprise."
The little robot nodded in confusion. It looked at Xu Yuheng with sparkling eyes full of worship.
Xu Yuheng looked at it, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Wu, you can change your appearance, right?"
The little robot nodded.
"Then why not take human form?" he asked.
"But Xiao Wu isn't a human," the little robot tilted its head and said confusedly.
Xu Yuheng thought for a moment and nodded. "Well, as long as you like it."
"Like?" The little robot blinked. "I don't know either …"
There was a bit of confusion in its voice. "Brother said that like is a happy emotion. When you're doing something or having something, you feel happy. That's liking. "
"But I've always been like this. I've never thought about whether I'm happy or not, so I don't know whether I like it or not."
Looking at the confused little robot, Xu Yuheng hesitated and said, "Then why … don't you try it? Try more new things. This world is very exciting. "
Xiao Wu looked at his eyes that had become gentle, nodded gently, and said, "Well! Thank you, Second Brother. Xiao Wu likes you! "
Xu Yuheng was slightly stunned. While he was in a daze, the little robot's image flashed and disappeared.
He came back to his senses and shook his head, but there was a clear smile on his lips.
When Xu Yuheng went offline, it was already past midnight. He still had to go to the company for a meeting the next day, so the matters in the game were temporarily handed over to Bai Feng.
Although he left a message in the game, when he came out, he still sent a message to Bai Feng with his new phone to remind him of the relevant matters.
At present, he was still going according to plan. When the escort team arrived at Orchid City tomorrow, he could organize the Orchid City players to change professions and learn a few quests at the same time.
In order to improve their strength, he also told the consul that if there were interstellar beasts that broke in tomorrow, the players would form a group to fight them.
As for the matter of the traitor, it would depend on the situation monitored by Xiao Wu …
Thinking about these things, he felt a little hungry. Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, there was a knock on the door.
He went over to open the door and saw his mother standing in the hallway with a tray with a bowl of noodles on it.
Seeing him, Mother Xu smiled and said, "You're off the game? I cooked noodles for you. Eat them while they're hot. "
Xu Yuheng's heart softened. He smiled and took it.
"Thank you, Mom. I was just hungry and was about to go to the kitchen."
Mother Xu saw that he was no longer forcing a smile and couldn't help but be stunned. Then, she smiled even more happily.
She said, "Okay, okay, okay. Eat more."
"If you're too tired at the company, don't go. It's good to play games at home."
Xu Yuheng was helpless.
If he was still a child in adolescence, he would probably be spoiled by his mother's doting.
"I know. I'll take care of it."
"It's very late now. You should go to bed."
Seeing Mother Xu nod, Xu Yuheng carried the tray and was about to enter the room when he heard her ask, "Then, are you a big official in the game?"
Xu Yuheng: "…"
Seeing that her son didn't speak, Mother Xu couldn't help but say earnestly, "Ah Heng, you have to work harder. It's been almost a month. You said you were going to be a big official. Take me to see Xiao Li."
Xu Yuheng could only agree.
Seeing that she finally left satisfied, he entered the room with the noodles and slammed the door.
In the room, the light was dim.
Elder Bryce sat at the table and looked at the message sent by Number 2 on the communicator. His face was terrifyingly gloomy.
This room was no longer the one Xu Yuheng and the others eavesdropped on last time. Elder Bryce was very vigilant. Every time after a conspiracy, he would change the location.
He really didn't expect that the last time he met with Bei Na and Lawrence, it was actually monitored!
Now that the military knew about their operation plan …
Should he give up?
Elder Bryce gritted his teeth.
He was able to become an elder and be in charge of a main city's affairs, not because of his strength, but because of his experience and intelligence.
He was only half a star, but he could make one and two star Elementalists listen to his orders. This was his wisdom.
And now, it was time for him to make a choice.
With his usual vigilance, he didn't have to worry about this at all. The moment he knew that the secret was leaked, he would cut off all the loose ends and make everyone hibernate again, waiting for a second chance.
But this time …
Lawrence was right. This was a very rare opportunity.
The stronghold in the imperial city was destroyed, and now the organization was without a leader. If this operation was successful, he would be very likely to become the next commander.
He was already in his position, so how could he not be moved by such an opportunity?
Although he didn't have many members in Orchid City, every one of them was of high quality. Moreover, this was also because of the environmental restrictions of Orchid City. He was already very good to be able to do this. He had always been highly rated in the organization.
However, Elder Bryce was not satisfied with this.
After Orchid City was invaded by the rampaging Interstellar Beasts, he would go to another main city.
There, he would gain a new group of subordinates. With the contribution of blowing up the core of Orchid City's defensive formation, even if he couldn't become the next commander, it should be easy for him to become the leader of a main city again.
He was tired of Orchid City. The resources here were too scarce, and he was always at risk of being destroyed.
If the city was really destroyed, although he could save his life, all of his previous efforts would be in vain. When that time came, he would have to run to another main city to seek protection. That was not what he wanted to see.
Elder Bryce gently tapped the table, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
In the end, he let out a heavy sigh.
It was too risky.
Now that the secret had been leaked, there was no guarantee that it would be foolproof. If something went wrong, the organization he had worked so hard to develop would be ruined.
Elder Bryce made a decision.
He was going to send out a signal to tell everyone to cancel the operation and go into hiding before the army came to find them.
In Orchid City, where the management of the population was lax, it would be very easy for them to hide, which was why they had never been caught.
However, before he could send out the message, a red indicator light suddenly lit up on his communication device.
This was the special alert he had set up.
The only person who had a red indicator light was that person …
Elder Bryce's heart pounded violently.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the palpitations in his heart, and accepted the call with a trembling hand.
After he made the call, a 3D image that was not very clear appeared on the top of his communication device.
If Xu Sili were here, he would recognize that this was the leader of the Bevat Empire, Arnold.
The lizardman's body was covered in fine scales, and his expression could not be seen. The cold-blooded animal's eyes looked very ugly.
Elder Bryce bowed to him respectfully and addressed him as His Majesty Norton.
Arnold narrowed his eyes, and his voice was very cold. "How is the plan to destroy Orchid City going?"
With the translator, the two of them could communicate smoothly.
Elder Bryce's heart skipped a beat.
He suppressed his uneasiness and told him that the operation plan had been leaked, and that he had decided to temporarily withdraw.
"Trash!" Arnold said angrily.
"This matter has been planned for so long, and now you are telling me to give up? Are you playing with me? Or are you Roland Empire people all good at going back on your words? "
He was obviously referring to Snow Roland playing with him.
Elder Bryce was in fear and trepidation, and he said carefully, "Orchid City will still be destroyed, I just hope Your Majesty can give us a little more time …"
"I have given you enough time!"
Arnold said coldly, "I want to see the result in seven days, and I want to let Snow Roland know that there is a price to pay for playing with the Bevat Empire!"
"If you can't even do such a small thing, then don't think you can get any benefits from me! The Bevat Empire does not need weak and incompetent subordinates! "
After saying that, Arnold hung up the communication.
Elder Bryce looked at the extinguished communication device, and then looked at the quiet room, and sighed bitterly.
Although his worship of the Bevat Empire was real, he knew that when the Bevat Empire took over Esnow Star, it was hard to guarantee that Arnold would really give him power as promised.
The best result would be to rely on the power of the Bevat Empire to migrate to another planet …
Now, he could not lose the Bevat Empire as his backing.
Elder Bryce's expression quickly became firm.
Since he couldn't refuse, then he had to change the plan … The best way was to act immediately and catch the military off guard before they made a move.
But unfortunately, they were only halfway through the plan.
If they acted hastily, the risk would increase exponentially. So …
Postpone the plan!
Postpone it to the third night, and when the garrison army thought that they had given up on the plan, they would make a move when they least expect it!
That was the only way.
Elder Bryce quickly made a decision and started a new round of planning.
At the same time, at the Nyria River not too far away from Orchid City, a group of dirty people came to the iron chain bridge in the middle of the river.
"F * ck, we are finally here!"
Jianyu Xingchen looked at the iron chain bridge and compared it to the information that Li Lai showed them before. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as they crossed this bridge, they would be able to reach Orchid City in half a day's time.
It had been almost two weeks since they left the Imperial City! In these two weeks, none of the players who followed them stayed offline for more than an hour.
God knows how they managed to survive such a high-intensity march. Although they didn't feel tired physically, they felt tired mentally!
However, they only dared to complain in the internal channel. After all, the NPCs were much worse off than them.
It was no wonder this quest was an Epic Level quest.
When they set off, there were 81 players, but now only 49 were left. Most of them were professional players, and only a few support players like Araiko were barely able to follow because they were well protected.
What was worth celebrating was that —
None of the NPCs were killed!
Including the instructors, the entire escort team had a total of 111 NPCs, and none of them died. Although injuries were inevitable, under the players' insistence, these injured soldiers were brought along.
Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai's mood was very complicated.
Although the lives of his comrades were saved, so many of the heroes had sacrificed themselves …
These were all Elementalists!
He felt like his heart was bleeding, and at the same time, he felt more and more that the heroes were all crazy!
He could feel that they were not cold-blooded creatures. On the contrary, most of the time, they were full of warmth, but they were so indifferent to the death of their comrades.
They even showed disdain and contempt for their sacrifice.
What was even more strange was that they thought their comrades would be resurrected and were now waiting for them in Orchid City.
Therefore, Li Lai thought that perhaps they couldn't bear the pressure, causing them to lose their minds!
Many soldiers who stayed on the battlefield for a long time actually had this problem.
Although it was a pity, there was nothing he could do about such a situation. After all, the current situation was very dangerous, and they were still in the midst of a rapid march.
Fortunately, they finally arrived at the iron chain bridge of the Nyria River.
As long as they crossed the iron chain bridge, they could reach Orchid City in half a day. At that time, there would be someone to guide them into the city, and his quest this time would be considered complete.
"Everyone, rest here. We will wait for dawn to cross the river!"
The silver flying fish of the Nyria River were most active at night, and their activities would be much weaker in the morning. That was the best time for them to cross the iron chain.
The players were used to following orders.
Knowing that they could rest for a while, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They found a safe place and logged off one after another.
Although the game was fun, reality was also very important!
The NPC soldiers were used to this phenomenon. When they saw the players' characters start to become distracted, they would even spontaneously protect the players.
This kind of interaction was also recorded by the livestream, and it warmed the hearts of many Cloud Nation players.
Hua Sui found a tree. After carefully checking that there were no problems, he sat down and leaned against the trunk. He glanced at the harmonious scene below and pursed his lips.
Now, he was already the highest level player —
Level 15, Health Points reached 4,000.
Although it was still not enough in front of the NPCs, in front of the players, he was no doubt the number one expert, especially when he had the Radiant 3000 that Li Lai gave him.
He could even single-handedly kill a low-level two-star beast by kiting.
He enjoyed the pleasure of this kind of killing, and only felt that there was no more fun game than this.
However …
His attitude towards NPCs had changed a little.
"Hey, Hua Sui, you're up there again!"
A voice sounded. Hua Sui looked over and saw a figure appear in the shadow of the tree, and finally turned into the appearance of a man.
This was the only Dark Elementalist among the NPC soldiers, and his strength had reached the level of one star. Because Hua Sui was now level 15, he could see this soldier's information.
Fox King, level 13, Dark Elemental Warrior.
He served as a scout in the team and was responsible for security work.
Although his level was two levels lower than his, Hua Sui did not underestimate him, because …
Fox King's Health Points had reached more than 40,000, which was more than ten times his. Even his attack was several times more than his.
If it were not for the Radiant 3000, he would not be able to defeat the opponent at all.
In the past two weeks, they had been together day and night. Fox King treated him as a disciple and taught him many Dark Elemental skills.
Fox King played a big part in Hua Sui's current strength.
Glancing at him, Hua Sui did not speak and took out a fruit from his pocket to eat.
"Brat, give me one too!"
Fox King sat down beside him.
Hua Sui ate the fruit, curled his lips impatiently, and took out another one and threw it to him.
Wang Hu chuckled and began to chew on the fruit with him.
Looking at his comrades resting quietly below, Fox King suddenly said, "We're going to cross the Death Iron Chain tomorrow. Be careful."
"Got it." The youth frowned irritably, looking like he did not want to listen to his nagging.
But today, Fox King was clearly more talkative.
"You're talented. You can learn everything once taught. The key is that you can use it flexibly, unlike some of your companions …"
"Hua Sui, live well. Don't die."
The speed at which the youth chewed the fruit slowed down, but he quickly returned to normal.
"You're so long-winded and talkative. Mind your own business!"
Fox King glanced at him and shook his head.
After he silently finished eating the fruit, he turned into a shadow again and disappeared from the tree.
Hua Sui watched him disappear and snorted softly. He threw away the core in his hand, then leaned against the tree trunk and began to close his eyes to rest.
He did not really fall asleep. Instead, he used the shadows to observe the movements around him.
This was what Fox King had taught him, and he digested it very well.
Unknowingly, the light on the horizon became brighter.
After a night of rest, the escort team finally recovered and set off again.
The instructors were carried by the NPC warriors.
Because there were only three iron chains, which were thousands of meters long, all of them were divided into five teams to avoid accidents.
They were not completely unprotected when they passed over the iron chains. They could use special ropes to tie them to the iron chains and move them over bit by bit.
However, this method had a drawback. It would greatly reduce their movement speed and increase the time they had to stay above the river.
Once this time in the morning passed, the silver flying fish would become active again, and their danger would increase exponentially.
In the past, there had been cases of warriors hanging on the iron chains and being crushed to death by the flying fish.
These flying fish's heads were as hard as iron. They could even smash stones, let alone fragile humans.
Unless they could wear full-body armor, but in order to rush the march, the warriors had to wear light armor. It was impossible to achieve such protection.
After some consideration, Lieutenant Colonel Lee Lai decided to give up on this protective measure.
This time, they had a total of twelve Wind Elementalists, and they were all Spirit Elementalists! After the five teams were blessed with Light Body Spell, they could finish the battle quickly.
The only problem was that the players were not trained and could not pass quickly on the iron chains that were thousands of meters long.
Of course, this problem was easy to solve.
There were only forty-nine players left. It was still possible to assign a few dozen warriors to help carry them over.
Finally, under Lee Lai's command, the first team set off.
The thirty-odd people did not gather together on the ground.
They followed the rhythm and controlled the distance between them to about two meters. This way, they would not put too much of a burden on the iron chains and could effectively avoid collisions.
Under the blessing of the Wind Elementalists' Light Body Spell, the warriors ran on the iron chains as if they were flying.
As everyone held their breaths, the first team successfully passed through the iron chains and safely reached the other side.
After sending back the news, they quickly began to investigate the situation on the other side and eliminate any possible dangers.
The second team followed closely behind.
Then the third team.
The first team was surprisingly smooth, so the players let down their guard. Until the fourth team, the silver flying fish under the river suddenly became active.
The originally calm surface of the river actually became lively for a moment.
The flying fish shuttled back and forth in the sky, shining with silver light. It looked so beautiful and romantic.
However, to the warriors and players passing through, it was so deadly.
"Ah —"
Finally, under everyone's unbearable gaze, the first warrior who was knocked into the air appeared.
A flying fish hit his waist, and he was violently knocked into the air and fell into the river.
Waiting for him below were river beasts with their mouths wide open, revealing their ferocious teeth. They were fighting to be the first to enjoy this delicious meal.
