In his fifth hour in this scenario, Feng bujue had finally completed the quest ‘join the resistance’.
The next step of the main mission also refreshed,[attack the center of A0007 city].
This quest was actually very interesting … Because the quest content only wrote “attack”, but did not say “attack with the resistance”; In other words, in theory, he could go by himself.
Feng bujue gave that some thought …
It was true that going alone was convenient and he didn’t have to be overcautious, but he wasn’t from this universe after all. He wasn’t very familiar with all kinds of situations, and it was very likely that he would encounter all kinds of unexpected dangers.
!!As for encouraging the rebellion Army to launch a general attack on the city with him … It involved another problem of “Even Conrad did not have the right to send out all the troops in the base without asking the commander. No matter how good brother Jue was at tricking people, he might not be able to get the Colonel to help him.
Thankfully, Feng bujue eventually came up with a compromise, and that was …
…………
Creak, creak, creak, creak …
Thump thump thump thump …
Accompanied by the sound of metal rods rubbing back and forth, as well as the sound of metal shafts rolling over the rails, a manual rail car was moving towards the city at a speed not much faster than a bicycle.
At that moment, a team of five, including Feng bujue, was riding on this car. They were going through the underground railway … And were approaching city A0007.
“Savior, do you want a piece?” The bearded man, who had just moved out of the parking lot, asked brother Jue as he put a compressed tobacco leaf into his mouth.
“I appreciate it.” Feng bujue waved his hand.”I’m not used to that. Also, you can call me Mr. Feng or Feng bujue. There’s no need to keep calling me Savior.”
“Hehe …” The bearded man laughed.”Alright, Mr. Feng …” He chewed the extremely bad-tasting tobacco in his mouth and spat.”…If you insist.”
This big-bearded man was the oldest member of the five, and he was an assaulter. At the same time, he was also the only “ignorant” person in the team.
At the beginning of the war, the bearded man’s daughter, Jian Jia, who was only 12 years old, was arrested and killed by the tower guard without any resistance. (The earlier an astrologer awakens, the clearer the information in his mind and the greater the threat). Not long after that, big beard joined the resistance.
He was a boorish man, he didn’t understand things that were too complicated. He had participated in this battle only because of a simple motive. F * ck you robots, I’m going to kill you all to avenge my daughter!
“By the way … Mr. Feng.” A few seconds later, the one-eyed man sitting next to big beardy looked at brother Jue and asked,”are they telling the truth?”
“What did they say?” Brother Jue asked in return.
“The whole base has heard about it,” the one-eyed man said.”The Savior can fly and can tear through metal without using any weapons.”
One-eyed Dragon was the team’s sniper. He had awakened as an astute person at the age of nineteen. His left eye was blinded by a round-table Spider in a battle. From then on, he could only use firearms with a scope (it was difficult to judge distance with one eye, and there would be obstacles if he shot with a weapon without a scope). Thus, he naturally became a sniper.
The one-eyed man was telling the truth when he said that the entire base had heard about it.
Before this, to convince the Colonel to agree to this mission, Feng bujue had ‘slightly’ demonstrated a few of his skills. By doing so … On one hand, he could confirm his identity as the “Savior”, and on the other hand, it would give the Colonel some confidence. If brother Jue did not show his strength, Conrad would not approve such a suicide mission.
“I can’t fly,” Two seconds later, Feng bujue used a calm tone to answer the one-eyed man.”That is Walking in the Air, and it is a different concept from ‘flying’.” He paused for a moment.”As for tearing metal without a weapon … That’s fine, but if you want me to demonstrate it now, I think it’s better not to.”
“Well …” The one-eyed man muttered to himself,”they also said … You can ‘end the war’. Is that true?”
“You have too many questions.” Before brother Jue could answer, Lightning head, who was shaking the metal pole, interrupted him.”Don’t ask about things that don’t need you to think about. If you think you have too much time, come over and shake the car.”
That’s right, the head of lightning had followed them, and she was the vice-captain of the assault team.
As one of the first few batches of awakened metahumans, she had already participated in the war when the rebellion Army was first established. However, this tomboy had a bad temper, and she didn’t know how to be moderate. So, when her peers had all become officers, she was still on the front line.
“I just don’t want to die without knowing if there’s any meaning to it …” After being interrupted by the vice-captain, the one-eyed man shrugged unhappily and mumbled.
“What did you just say?” The lightning head heard him and immediately glared at him.
“That’s enough,” At this moment, the leader of the assault team, Issac, spoke up,”everyone, stop talking …”
As he spoke, he gave lightning, who was shaking the metal pole with him, a look. Although he didn’t say anything, lightning understood what he meant, so he didn’t say anything more.
Then, Issac looked at the one-eyed man and said,””Our mission today is to send Mr. Feng to the Central District and then evacuate safely. Although the mission sounds crazy, it doesn’t mean that we will definitely die. Don’t say such irrelevant things to dampen the morale of our teammates.”
“Yes … Captain,” The one-eyed man was quite convinced by Isaac. After all … The latter could be said to be a legendary figure in the resistance.
So, what kind of “legendary” was Issac?
Before I talk about his battle record, I’ll first talk about a basic setting: Issac was a black man … A black man … A black man.
I know that it’s not fair to associate a person’s innate skin color and race with his acquired achievements, but I think we should face the reality here … And say the important things three times.
Just like how Asians and Jews had an innate advantage in average intelligence, the innate advantage of black people in athletic ability was undeniable.
If there was really Batman in the world, then according to Batman’s setting of “all sports abilities reaching the level of an Olympic champion of the same period,” the human who could meet Batman’s physical requirements was most likely a black man.
As for Issac … He was like Batman in the resistance.
Although he didn’t have all kinds of high-tech equipment, and he didn’t have Bruce Wayne’s nonsense setting of “obtaining Ph.D. Degrees in more than a dozen professional disciplines,” Isaac had still accomplished many things that ordinary people thought only superheroes could do …
He had once broken into a prison for astounders on his own and successfully rescued more than 90% of the prisoners. He had once completed the work of an entire squad in an important distribution operation (the operation to spread the game to the public). He had once killed 30 combat robots in a battle … At least; He had even killed the round-table Spider in a one-on-one close-combat battle …
Such achievements … Or rather … Their actual achievements were known to all in the resistance. The war had been going on for so many years, and there really wasn’t a single warrior who could be as famous as Isaac.
Therefore, in the hearts of many soldiers, Issac’s words might be more effective than the commander ‘s.
“Hehe … Everyone, why do you have to make the atmosphere so heavy?” Feng bujue could see what these NPCs were worried about, and he immediately revealed a relaxed smile.”To be honest, I am very confident that we can end this war today. As for your safety … I did not intend for you to’ escort ‘me all the way to the central area. That was just an order that Colonel Conrad insisted on. According to my plan … I only need you to bring me into the city and point out the location of the central hub. Then, you can directly retreat. ”
Brother Jue had said this out of good will. He was well aware of the difference in combat power between humans and machines, and he did not want to see these people die in vain.
However, after hearing that, Issac continued in all seriousness,””An order is an order, Mr. Feng. We won’t interfere with your actions, but I hope you won’t interfere with our own mission.”
“Oh …” Feng bujue looked at the man with a complicated expression.”Fine … You’re the captain, so you have the final say.”
…………
After nearly three hours of travel, the seemingly endless tunnel in front of them finally welcomed its end.
At the end of the track, the five of them were welcomed by a brick wall, and on the other side of the wall … Came the sound of continuous water flowing.
“Is there a sewer behind the wall?” Actually, Feng bujue had already seen through the flow of data on the other side of the wall, but he still pretended not to know and asked.
“Yes, I am.” Isaac replied,”we have to walk in the sewers for a while, then pass through an engineering pipeline and turn into a subway tunnel.”
“Then we can enter the subway station and rush to the surface, right?” Feng bujue continued.
No, we have to hide in the subway tunnel and walk to our destination.” Issac replied,”we’ll rush to the surface when we reach the station closest to the Central District.”
“Phew … That sounds like a lot of work.” Feng bujue could not help but sigh in relief.
“There’s no other way. ” The one-eyed man continued in a helpless tone,”once we enter an area with surveillance … Such as a subway station, we will be immediately discovered by the spire and then they will send troops to surround us. With just the five of us, it’s simply a fool’s dream to get close to the center while being chased and blocked by the city guards. ”
“Then … What if we disguise ourselves?” “For example,” Feng bujue explained,”you can pretend to be a civilian and use transportation to get close to the target.”
“That’s impossible. ” Issac continued,”disguising is only effective against humans, it’s useless against AI … All the cameras in this city have facial recognition. Anyone with an unknown identity or defined as a ‘threat’, as long as their face is scanned by any camera, they will attract the attention of Bita. Within a minute, the law enforcement officers closest to the target will be dispatched. ”
“I see …” Feng bujue replied.”Then … Let’s stick to the plan.”
Only then did brother Jue realize that he was lucky … That he had not gone into the city alone.
If he really did that, even if he could break through the encirclement with his own strength, he would be half-dead. Furthermore … Brother Jue did not know that if he used that method to break through, it was very likely that the tower would self-destruct before he could even make contact with it.
And now, under the leadership of this resistance assault team, although it would take more time to reach the destination, the risk of battle had been reduced. For the players, the physical exhaustion from such a journey was almost negligible. On the other hand, the life Points, skills, and items were all used up at zero. It was clear that … This was the ‘correct way to clear the game’.
Of course, in a normal difficulty scenario, it was fine if the players did not follow the ‘right’ path. As long as they were strong enough, even if they made a ‘mistake’, it would not necessarily lead to a failure. All sorts of violent methods could work.
However … In the end, Feng bujue still chose a more reasonable route to clear the scenario. One of the reasons was that when he made the decision, he had already vaguely realized that the first main mission,[join the resistance], was a hint that he should use the help of the NPC forces to clear the mission. The second reason was … When he was playing games in the Colonel’s office, he realized that it was impossible for Yingying to meet her teammates in two hours. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to clear the scenario. He might as well follow the system’s normal flow and experience the plot.
“In that case, let’s wrap the equipment with cloth first. Later, be careful not to let any filth or water block the equipment.” Just as brother Jue was thinking, Issac had already started to instruct everyone to prepare for the sewer trip.
Feng bujue did not have much to prepare. He had seen the equipment that the resistance had. Most of them were normal and damaged, so they were not of much value. The act of “taking” would also expose the fact that he had a “storage space”, so he did not take anything with the excuse that “the Savior doesn’t need these”.
To make a long story short …
Five minutes later, the other four members of the assault team were ready.
Then, under Isaac’s lead, they climbed into a pipe beside the track that was leaking sewage and headed for the sewer area opposite the wall.
…………
At the same time, A0007 city, Central District.
[Warning, code 964, invasion incident.]
[The source of the signal, the hidden personnel … A8504]
“Coordinates locked.”
Just as the five members of the assault team crossed the “wall” in the sewer and entered the city, Pitar received this message.
“A8504 …” At this time, Bita mumbled to himself like a human,”we haven’t given him any instructions recently, and we haven’t received any information from other spies that there will be an invasion today …” At this moment, Bita’s real-time simulation program had also started running.”So … What is going on?”
