Chapter 434: 434
Blagnac Airport, the sixth largest airport in France, is located next to the Airbus assembly plant . Less than a 20-minute drive from the city, it was also a few of the places monitored by Black Nest .
Mr . Coffee got all the passengers’ names before the plane landed . Three names on the list aroused his interest . One was a news reporter, the other a documentary director, and the last a forum moderator . They were all famous individuals in their respective fields, and it was merely a ‘coincidence’ that the three of them got on the same plane . It was impossible that nobody would notice it .
The Black Nest technician who discovered the list immediately sent it to Mr . Coffee, anticipating his praise, grinning from ear-to-ear . However, Mr . Coffee only held the list for a long time . “What do you think?” he asked Vincent, completely ignoring the technician in front of him .
“It’s a trap,” Vincent said, “With the skills of the technical team on the enemy’s side, I believe they can hack into Zero . I don’t believe changing a few names in the airline’s boarding system without anyone knowing would be a problem for them . ”
The coffee man slapped his thigh, “Well, what do you know? It’s a damn obvious trap, isn’t it?! Are they looking down on us? Are there even such idiots who would fall for such a trap?”
The person in charge of the technical team looked embarrassed, “Then… shall we… resummon the team tasked to watch the enemy?”
“No,” Mr . Coffee smiled, “Did you get anything from the tracking team you applied from headquarters?”
“Not yet . Those people did not attack Zero again, and we have strengthened our guard for now . If our opponent makes a move again, we will know . ”
This time, the head of the technical team was confident enough to make such a promise .
“Besides, the drone has also arrived,” he went on, “It allows us to monitor places that the surveillance cameras can’t cover . We followed your orders and entered the information and faces of the potential suspects into the database in advance . The city’s surveillance cameras and drones can now scan every single person in the city . This time, we’ll definitely find them in the shortest time possible . ”
Mr . Coffee said nothing, turning to Vincent instead . “Mr . Vincent, I heard that you were a mercenary and participated in several wars . I want to ask you a question . ”
“Please, ask away . ”
“What would you do if you’re trapped in a dangerous situation, where you’re completely surrounded by your enemies?”
“Sitting and waiting is the most dangerous approach . The best way to get out of a sticky situation like this is to move around as much as possible, disrupt the situation, and devise a way to escape . It’s the only way you can create an opportunity . ”
Mr . Coffee rubbed his chin .
“It seems the enemies think the same thing as well . Rather than seeing this list as a botched trap, it is more like a war book,” he said .
“War book?” Little Boy was puzzled .
“Black Nest will take the bait,” said Zhang Heng .
It was difficult for him to explain the rationale behind it to Little Boy . Edward wanted to meet the three people he had been communicating with for a long time to expose CTOS’s dirty secrets . This would seriously threaten Black Nest, and they would use everything at their disposal to stop it from happening . As long as Black Nest deployed its personnel at several transportation hubs, there was a high probability that they would lock on to their target .
“There is nothing wrong with the airport’s power outage plan, but we have to draw Black Nest’s people away-especially the sniper, he’s just too dangerous . ”
“All we did was change the boarding information . Think it’ll fool Black Nest?”
“Oh yeah, it will,” Zhang Heng said affirmatively .
The main objective of this round was to either help Edward escape or assist Zero in capturing Edward . On the surface, it seemed that this would result in only two endings for these players . There was, however, another possibility . When the quest’s duration ran out, and if Edward neither escaped, nor did Black Nest kill him, players from all factions would lose the quest .
No one wanted to see such results .
Although an ending that benefitted nobody was very much dreaded, it was still possible . After all, only five days remained for the quest, and it was too risky for Zhang Heng to give up now . Be that as it may, he was confident that he could survive another five days .
On the other hand, such a result was acceptable for Black Nest . As long as they managed to stop Edward from contacting the media, they could slowly play hide-and-seek with him in the city . But then again, it would surely be unacceptable for the players who chose Black Nest’s side .
In the eyes of Vincent and Little Boy, the name list wasn’t even worth being called a trap, but in the eyes of players like Mr . Coffee and Zhang Heng, that list served a larger purpose .
“Is this an invitation to start a duel in advance? This is unexpectedly refreshing . Oh, shit, the proposal is making me so excited,” Mr . Coffee scratched his head .
Vincent rarely spoke since he handed over command to Mr . Coffee . It was usually Mr . Coffee asking the questions, and Vincent answering them accordingly . This time, though, he couldn’t hold himself back .
“We have the advantage now, and as long as we don’t mess up, the enemy will not be able to defeat us,” he proclaimed .
“You’re right, but if we can use the opportunity to cut off their source, it will extinguish the threat once and for all,” said Mr . Coffee .
“But what if this is just a distraction?”
“I can understand your worries . This is my plan . It’s three in the afternoon now . Whether I can kill the guy on the enemy’s team or not, I’ll bring our people back before dark . I’ll leave the place to you for the time being,” said Mr . Coffee adding a reassuring pat on Vincent’s shoulders .
Vincent seemed a little helpless, “How many people do you want?”
“I don’t need to too many . Just get me a small team . And oh, I need that guy as well . He’ll be useful in the upcoming battle,” said Mr . Coffee as he pointed at a man standing behind Vincent . He was Abu, and he was trying his hardest to pretend he did not exist .
Since the night before yesterday, Abu stopped talking back or humiliating Mr . Coffee . Instead, there was a touch of fear in his eyes . It was Vincent’s first time seeing Abu behaving in such a manner, and it only served to fuel his curiosity on what happened between the both of them . But since Abu never spoke about it, he had decided not to ask about it .
Abu’s face changed when he was named, but in the end, he had no choice and followed Mr . Coffee’s order .
“Don’t cry . It might be an opportunity for you to see something hard to see in life . You should be happy . ”
Mr . Coffee then turned around to look at the technician on the other side . “Watch the three baits . See where they are headed . ”
“Yes, sir . ” The leader of the technicians hurriedly left after receiving the order .
Mr . Coffee clapped his hands .
“The party has already started . Alright, pack up and get ready to move! Let’s not let our hosts wait too long!”
