Chapter 141 Departure
In the dim conference room, twenty figures sat on both sides of the long table. The leading officer stood at the head of the table, waiting quietly.
Bai'e was the last one to arrive. Looking at Bai'e who pushed the door and entered, a group of people were silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird.
"Huh? There's another one?" Someone broke the silence, and the tone seemed to be just pure curiosity.
No one answered.
Everyone's eyes were full of teasing.
No one looked down on those who wanted to get credit by joining this secret action elite team through the back door.
Bai'e had a stern face and didn't say anything. He just glanced around and saw that there was an empty seat at the end of the long table, so he walked over and sat down.
He knew that he would definitely not be welcomed in this team. It was normal to be looked down upon by taking the back door.
Not to mention that everyone went on a mission to risk their lives, and bringing an extra "drag" would definitely be resentful.
But Bai'e didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to explore the ruins.
As for whether he would drag them down during the mission... he could only do his best.
The soldier sitting next to him looked at Bai'e with a smile, as if he wanted to get to know him intimately, "How did you get selected, brother? Marksmanship? Or assassination? You're not an information specialist, are you?"
"..."
Gregory frowned slightly and stopped the teasing, "Okay, everyone is here, so I'll get straight to the point."
The leader with his hands on the table leaned forward slightly, and his eyes swept over the teammates who were about to follow him on the mission.
While speaking, the projector behind him also released the picture in time-
A square building covered with ivy occupied most of the screen, with only a small part of the building exposed on the surface, and the rest of the main body was buried underground for an unknown depth.
With a gentle "click" sound, the photos rotated, and several photos of the building from different angles appeared.
The style is different from the architectural style that Bai'e has seen since he came to this world, full of a cold mechanical beauty.
The silver-gray building has stood for thousands of years without falling.
Bai'er's eyes narrowed slightly, noticing the shooting time in the upper left corner of the photo - 2:32:16 pm on August 3, 398 of the Imperial New Calendar.
It has been more than 40 years since then.
"This is the closest set of photos we have about the time of the mission target. As you can see, it is more than 40 years ago. The information sent down from above said that the target location was occupied by a group of antiques from hundreds of years ago - cyborgs. But whether their vitality is enough to support them to live until now is still an unknown."
Holding a combat plan in his hand, the commander suddenly slammed it on the table, making a loud "pop" sound, "This is the combat plan I got for cyborgs, but it may not be used. In fact, we have not known the situation inside the mission target for hundreds of years, so..."
The leader spoke in a low voice, his eyes slowly swept over all the soldiers under his command, "No one knows what is waiting inside the target building. What will happen to us? It may be those brainless orcs, it may be bugs... or it may be nothing. I have only one request for everyone - obey orders! I know that you are all absolute elites drawn from various teams in the military camp. You may not know me before, but it doesn't matter. We will get to know each other slowly on the way. If anyone has any objections, you can raise them now. After departure, I will deal with those who disobey orders on the spot by military law. Do you understand? "
The atmosphere was slightly silent, and then all the soldiers answered almost tacitly, "Understood!"
First establish your own prestige, and then arrange the details. Soldiers who are unfamiliar with each other need to cooperate to perform tasks. The most taboo is not having a unified brain.
The leader who received the overall response showed satisfaction on his face, and then continued.
"Okay, now we are starting to understand this plan. Although it may not be used, you all need to remember it! The goal of our combat operation this time is to restart the Internet root server located underground in the target building..."
"... Now arrange the combat plan. I know that each of you is good at different things, but I need you to cooperate with your teammates to complete more combat arrangements in addition to your own responsibilities..."
"... Finally, let's talk about the accompanying personnel who need to be protected and cooperated in this operation - Minister Leacock of the City Information Department, and his assistant Miss Aryan. Remember, unless it is the final stage of restarting the server, when they need help, Cooperate as much as possible. Apart from that, they are simply our protection targets... targets that need to be protected with life, but don't let their orders affect any of your decisions! Do you understand! "
"Understood!"
"Okay. There is one last thing. I know that everyone present has some unique skills, so... if you need any special materials, you can ask me now, and I will compile and apply. Emphasize that it will not consume your military merits. After so many years in the barracks, I still have this face!"
At the last moment, the commander's tone was slightly playful, and the slightly more active soldiers in the meeting room, which had been suppressed, cheered on the spot.
"Wuhu!"
"The commander is awesome!"
It is really awesome.
Bai Er was honest and didn't care whether they liked him or not. Anyway, he wanted 500 arrows first!
"Too many..." Looking at the application submitted by Bai E, the leader's face darkened, and he operated manually, "200 sticks is almost enough."
"All right."
It’s better than nothing…
As for other machine guns, pistols, sabers, daggers, chain saws, swords, triangular spikes, alloy shields, etc., they are all basic military supplies and do not require special applications.
"Okay." Looking at the things he needed to apply for, the leader, Gregory, raised his eyebrows unconsciously, "That's it for the basic arrangements. Let's go back and prepare to have an early rest. Tonight may be the first time for you to attend the meeting in the future. It’s the most peaceful night I’ve ever had. Let’s set out at six o’clock tomorrow morning!”
"Yes, sir!"
After leaving the conference room, Bai E wanted to find Yueying.
His physical attributes didn't grow much, but the explosion of the over-limit drive gave him some foundation and confidence to learn the "Fixing Wind" technique... It's a pity that he didn't find it.
I can only honestly return to the tent in the living area.
Carefully maintaining the guns, bowstrings, and daggers, Bai E felt peaceful inside while doing these things.
Although the unknown awaits, it seems nothing to be afraid of.

The early morning light penetrated into the tent through the cracks, and Bai E put on his equipment as much as possible without disturbing others...
"Crack!" Ji Kuo bites.
The jet-black combat uniform perfectly protected Bai E's body. A Sand Eagle pistol was ready for use at his waist. The matte black lacquer dagger in the scabbard on his calf was ready for bloodthirsty. The quiver was carried on his back, and the compound bow was hung on his back. At his waist, five loaded magazines were inserted into the multifunctional pocket on his belt, and a heavy machine gun was held against his chest.
Almost armed to the teeth.
Holding his combat helmet with his left arm, Bai E turned around one last time and glanced at his four teammates who were still sleeping soundly in the tent.
This operation was a secret operation. Even if there was a slight rumor in the military camp about the previous selection, the actual participants were obviously not allowed to take the initiative to disclose any information.
The parting was quiet.
The moment the curtain was lifted, the four sleeping figures quietly opened their eyes.
The four of them said nothing as they watched people go to the empty bed.
Wish him a safe journey.
…
In the early morning, at 6:05, three specially modified off-road vehicles drove out from the south gate of the military camp, kicking up dust all the way.
