Chapter 74
The cars were parked outside . After everyone moved their equipment into the secret base, they began their pre-mission briefing .
"We have two operations . Firstly, disguise as wanderers and blend into Dark Crow Forest Town to gather intel; secondly, search for sentry guards from the Germinal Organization that are left alone and force information about their base out of them .
"We will handle the sentries, your people can go to the Dark Crow Forest Town," Winna immediately stated .
Di Su Su frowned . There would mostly likely be spies hidden in the town . If they attempted to blend in, they might be exposed and be put in dire danger . If so, they would not achieve anything . Searching for sentries would be much safer and easier to accomplish .
Hesla just could not wait to throw all the dangerous and tough jobs to Division 13 . This attitude annoyed them greatly, but someone had to do the missions after all . If it was not going to be Hesla then it had to be Division 13 . As such, no one voiced any objection .
"To infiltrate the town, we must first disguise ourselves as wanderers and then find an opportunity to gather intel covertly . We must not act rashly and alert the enemy," said Qi Bai Jia .
After some discussion, it was decided that some people would stay at the base as backup . Four people stayed behind: Lin Yao, Qi Bai Jia, Ma Qing Yang, and Han Xiao .
Hesla also left some personnel to guard the base . Han Xiao only knew Ye Fan from their group .
It was only the afternoon . The Hesla agents decided to take a rest first . They would wait till dawn, when enemy's alertness would be at its lowest, to move off to find enemy sentry guards . They had brought infrared imaging devices, so the darkness actually provided them with an advantage . Also, they secretly wanted Division 13 to be the guinea pig to sweep away some danger first .
Once the mission plan was finalized, those Division 13 agents who were going in mixed together to form a team with Di Su Su as the leader . They were disguised in wanderer's clothes and looked travel-worn and weary . They hunched their backs to look as if they were being weighed down by stress . They carried giant backpacks and looked exactly like those real wanderers . They then headed toward the Dark Crow Forest Town on foot .
The secret base was equipped with many computer screens that were connected to agents' camera and earphones . Han Xiao, Lin Yao, and Qi Bai Jia would rotate to monitor the situation .
Di Su Su's team soon arrived at the crowded town, which was displayed on the screens . There were many different types of buildings, and despite the housing being simple and crude, there were many people there, making it look like a marketplace . Although the town was small in area, it had everything, even hotels for guests .
"Let's look for a place to stay first . "
Di Su Su and the gang were questioned by the locals, but she answered perfectly . They were just 'wanderers that were migrating' and 'wanted to rest here for a while before moving off . ' Afterwards, they successfully checked in at one of the hotels in the town .
As soon as they entered the room, they immediately swept for monitoring cameras and bugs professionally . They started discussing their next steps after they made sure the room was safe .
"How should we proceed now?" Li Ya Lin curled her lips and gave Di Su Su a cold look .
Di Su Su was not in the mood to banter with Li Ya Lin . Her brows knitted together as she said in a serious tone, "People in the town are still suspicious of our identity . I think we should stay put . "
Han Xiao suddenly chimed in through the earpieces . "You guys had better act today . "
"Give me a good reason . " Di Su Su was slightly provoked .
"You guys are now foreign wanderers, so you should act your part . It is only normal to gather information about this place . It will actually look strange if you purposefully conceal yourselves, making others feel that you have an ulterior motive . "
Everyone looked at one another . "That seems like a good point . "
"…Let's do what Han Xiao suggested . "
The town had many amenities, including entertainment facilities, casinos, a pharmacy, restaurants, and even places for one to release . As night fell, the team moved out in different groups and pretended to spend money, probe for intel, and gather information . However, they did not achieve any substantial success . The locals there were mostly ordinary wanderers, and they did not spot any people of interest .
"Our enemies must be hiding deeply . We probably won't get anything through this method . " Qi Bai Jia's expression was grave .
"Actually, I know a way . " Han Xiao smiled . He knew the specific spy that was station at this town . After 'real' players earned enough reputation from missions, they could choose to join the Germinal Organization through this NPC . By catching this NPC, they could get quite a lot of intel .
Han Xiao knew the exact coordinates of the Dark Crow Valley Base, but he was unsure of the specific military strength and defenses of the base . After ten long years, he only remembered a little information about the place . Furthermore, they were at the different point in time, so the changes would be different . It was essential for them to gather intel from the NPC .
"You guys should go to the southern part of town, where you will see a casino . There should be a bald-headed dude who knows the intel about the base . " Han Xiao was describing the spy from the Germinal Organization stationed at the town . Those 'real' players who were born at Dark Crow Forest Town could only join the Germinal Organization through this guy .
Everyone was shocked . Di Su Su frowned . "Where did you get this information from?"
