896. Idlers Retreat
"Last night, a subject was killed in the sanctuary." In a meeting room of the sanctuary specially designated for the subjects of the Secret Hunters, the middle-aged man in military uniform who gave an impassioned speech on the plaza spoke in a deep voice. There were a total of 14 subjects in the meeting room.
"Because of this issue, I still believe that the subjects who chose to join the Rebel forces should have at least a basic organization. So, I boldly registered everyone. As of yesterday, a total of 16 subjects have entered the sanctuary. Now, other than the mage who was killed yesterday, Wang Wenming, I have invited everyone else to come. First, let me introduce myself. I am Nicholas, a soldier, a gunman, "the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"There is still one subject who hasn't come yet. I have already asked a Rebel forces soldier to inform him," Nicholas' companion, the bespectacled woman, said in a low voice.
"So, who had contact with Wang Wenming yesterday?" Nicholas looked around and asked slowly.
"Me." Luo Jin, who was dressed like a swordsman, raised his hand and said, "I am Luo Jin, a swordsman. Yesterday, Wang Wenming asked me to form a team and wanted to go to Left-Handed Steam Power Factory. I agreed. After that, he said he wanted to drink, but I don't drink, so I rejected him. After that, I went to the bounty area to look for information related to Left-Handed Steam Power Factory. "
"Yes, he also looked for me yesterday, and I also agreed. After that, I met Luo Jin in the bounty area. We talked for a long time about how much bounty we can get this time, "another subject raised his hand and said.
"Wang Wenming died around 12 o 'clock. At that time, there were many people in the bounty area. The two of them were indeed there," the tall and thin man beside Nicholas said.
"Are you doubting me?" Luo Jin said unhappily.
"Not doubting, but since we have chosen to join the Rebel forces, we trust those who made the same choice. But now, this trust is crumbling … I should say, the killer is really sinister, "Nicholas said in a deep voice.
As they were talking, a scream suddenly came from outside! "Ah! Ah! "
Everyone present was from the Gold Group, so their reactions were extremely fast. Everyone stood up at the first instant and wanted to rush out! The tall and skinny man beside Nicolai suddenly raised his hand, and the person who was charging at the front immediately crashed into an invisible wall!
"Alright, everyone calm down! Let's go together! No one goes first! "Nicolai snapped. The experimenters looked at each other and nodded.
When they arrived at the place where the scream came from, they saw a test subject lying in a pool of blood. A Rebel forces soldier who was leading the way had also been decapitated. Everyone's faces turned ashen. One of the experimenters stepped out of the line and nodded at Nicolai. He then went forward to examine the two corpses and said in a low voice, "The Rebel forces were decapitated with a single slash, while this experimenter was killed by a blunt object piercing through his chest."
"All the experimenters that came to the sanctuary are here! Did someone else sneak in? "someone said.
Nicolai shook his head. "No, not likely. This sanctuary was originally a mining spaceship. There's only one entrance and exit, and it's strictly monitored. It's impossible for someone to sneak in without us noticing! If there's really someone else, then the person's strength is much higher than ours. But if that's the case, there's no need for him to use such a mysterious assassination! "
"You're saying that the murderer is among us?" one of the experimenters said. As soon as he said that, all the experimenters tensed up. They began to slowly retreat, distancing themselves from each other and keeping their guard up against each other. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense!
Nicolai's expression also became extremely ugly. He said in a low voice, "No matter what the murderer was planning, he succeeded …"
"Then what do you think we should do now?" one of the experimenters asked anxiously.
Nicolai thought for a moment. "Everyone, arrange yourselves according to your original team. All the individual experimenters will move with us! We need to find the murderer! But the most urgent thing now is to rescue Roland! We know that according to the original plot, Roland is now imprisoned in the Bloodbath Fortress! And now, among the main characters of 'Unclaimed Land 2', other than Axton who's recuperating in the sanctuary, the others are nowhere to be found! We can only rely on ourselves now! "
He looked at the experimenters. In fact, these people had already done so. At this time, it was obvious that their original teammates were more trustworthy. There were three teams at the scene. One of them had three people, the other two were in teams of two, and four were alone.
"The three of you, go to the Tundra Highway and find Mo Dekai. He's Roland's partner, a very powerful sniper, and also one of the main characters of 'Unclaimed Land 1'," Nicolai ordered. The other three nodded.
"A two-man team will go to the Icefire Valley and find Lilith."
"A two-man team will stay in the sanctuary to take care of the injured Axton and look for traces of the murderer. Don't worry, if there's any loot, we'll share it with you. "
"My partner and I are the 'Goddess of Victory' team, ranked sixth in the Gold Group! The three of us and four independent experimenters will attack the Bloodbath Fortress and rescue Roland! "Nicolai made the arrangements methodically.
"You are ranked sixth in the Gold Group and have enough strength. Even if the murderer is among the few of us alone, you have enough strength to subdue him. The Bloodbath Fortress is a tough battle, so it's understandable that we have more people. The arrangements for the other two routes are also fine. But I'm worried about the two-man team that stayed behind … "Luo Jin the Swordsman tilted his head and said.
"An upright body is not afraid of a crooked shadow. Let's go!" Another individual experimenter agreed.
"Loopholes are unavoidable, but this is the best arrangement. Let's do it! I hope everyone will be more careful! After all, there will definitely be experimenters who will join the handsome Jack's side! Don't let these two murders disrupt our rhythm! The other party must have chosen assassination because they're not strong enough! "Nicolai said loudly.
Indeed, this was the only way. The other party had chosen to attack at this time because they knew that they had to make a choice between saving Roland and finding the murderer. Roland had to be saved, or the Rebel forces would face defeat. Once the Rebel forces were defeated, the plot would end, and this world would close. Moreover, in the face of the Hyperion Corporation's tide-like attack, the experimenters would not be able to make it out alive! Therefore, they actually only had one choice.
They could only take one step at a time and see if the other party would give themselves away again! Nicolai's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. Don't underestimate me! Murderer!
…
Pandora Planet, Eclipse Zone.
One of the Gold Group experimenters fell to the ground. One of his legs had been chopped off, and blood was gushing out. Another experimenter had already fallen to the ground, becoming a cold corpse.
"B * stard … You … You actually ambushed …" The experimenter gritted his teeth as he looked at the figure holding a knife in front of him.
