Chapter 576 "Speed-Through" Method for Tasks (1/2)
"Don't get excited."
Before the meeting, the eyes of several people gradually started to look strange. The officer named Luo Feihui confirmed his suspicion and quickly laughed and said haha.
"I don't mean any harm. I even want to make friends with you... It's cold enough outside. Come in and talk."
As he spoke, he patted Fang Chang's arm, gave the latter a meaningful look, and then turned around and walked into the house.
Fang Chang and Ye Shi exchanged glances, followed the NPC's footsteps and walked in with the other eight players behind them.
Now that the plot has been triggered, you might as well take a look and talk about it later.
The group entered the hotel.
The decoration inside is as luxurious and empty as the outside. All that can be seen are waiters, and there are no other customers except for them.
The officer named Luo led them straight to the innermost box.
After taking his seat, he saw that several people were silent, so he smiled and took the initiative to start chatting.
"Don't be formal. Although this is Mr. Zhao's property, the people here are the family members of my subordinates."
Fang Chang looked at him with interest.
"When did you first notice?"
He could be sure that this guy definitely didn't identify them by the lack of calluses on his hands or by looking at their faces.
Luo Feihui smiled lightly and said with a trace of pride on his face.
"I noticed it from the moment you walked in the door."
"oh?"
"In addition to the reasons I mentioned before, the most important thing is that my informant in Hope Town called me. He told me that mutants attacked there, and a group of guys from the Alliance drove away those green-skinned monsters."
"I see," Fang Chang touched his chin, "I had considered the possibility that the news would reach here, but it was beyond my expectation that the news would be a step ahead of us."
This is going to be difficult.
Looking at Fang Chang who was deep in thought, Luo Feihui seemed to guess what he was thinking and continued with a smile.
"Don't worry, our master doesn't know your identity yet. He thinks you are just a group of mercenaries who take money from others to help others to eliminate disasters. Let me entertain you with delicious food and drink, and also explore your mouth. Ask if that guy named Yang He hires you to do any extra work."
"for example?"
"For example, usurping the power from his hands."
Looking at Fang Chang with a hint of surprise on his face, Luo Feihui smiled faintly and said pointedly.
"Honestly, I'm quite surprised. I originally thought that Brother Yang He just made his business bigger, but I didn't expect that he would join the alliance... Wow, that's impressive."
Upon hearing this, Fang Chang's face was not only surprised, but also had a subtle expression.
To be honest, he had never heard of the Yang He he was talking about. He must have been the employer who sent Luo Yu brothers the mission.
This guy's decision to join the Alliance was all his own imagination.
But don’t blame him for being too imaginative.
The main reason is that no one would have thought that in the alliance, as long as you place an order on the mercenary guild's terminal and the commission content passes the review, you can even get assistance from the "regular army".
Seeing the "surprise" on Fang Chang's face, Luo Feihui thought that he had guessed correctly again, and there was a hint of joy in his heart.
It was this hint of joy that gave him the confidence to continue guessing. He smiled slightly and continued slowly.
"It seems that I guessed it right. Our boss Yang betrayed his master and joined the alliance that made him a lot of money. Then he assisted the alliance soldiers to enter the Pinecone Farm. Let me guess again... Flame Mercenary Group, are you the Burning Corps?"
Hearing these words, not only Brother Fang, but also almost all the players had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Good guy...
If this NPC hadn't cheated, his imagination would have been outrageous!
And that's not even the most outrageous thing.
The most outrageous thing is that he even guessed correctly which regiment they belonged to!
"you caught me."
Because this line of reasoning was so perfect, Fang Chang couldn't bear to lie to him, so he simply admitted with a smile, "Yes, we are."
Luo Feihui obviously didn't expect that he was so capable. He guessed it right and sat up straight from his chair in surprise.
"Really? It's a pleasure to meet you! To be honest, I am a reader of "Daily Survivor". I have been listening to your channel and have admired your name for a long time! But I didn't expect that we would be like this meet in the form of "
"I didn't expect that in a small settlement of fifty thousand people, there would be such a... extremely smart person like you hiding in a place like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Fang Chang smiled, leaned back on the chair, and looked at him leisurely.
"Then? What are you going to do?"
His expression seemed like he wasn't worried at all about his performance.
He was not surprised by his reaction. Luo Feihui had heard about the achievements of this regiment. It was a ruthless man who forcibly broke through the defense of Falcon City and captured the king.
In comparison, his old man who daydreams all day long is nothing.
He was very self-aware about this.
"I said I didn't mean any harm. If I really had that intention, I would have told the master about you before you even got here."
"So I should thank you?"
"No," Luo Feihui smiled and waved his hand, "Didn't I say it from the beginning, I quite want to make friends with you."
As he spoke, he stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the window, and looked through the blinds at the nearby mansion.
"What do you think of this settlement?"
Hearing him suddenly and inexplicably ask such a question, Fang Chang couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so he asked casually.
"Is this a settlement?"
Luo Feihui smiled and continued.
"Indeed, from the perspective of you shelter residents, and even other wastelanders passing by, this place is not a settlement at all, just a large farm. Everyone here is the private property of the Zhao family, and The animals in the barn are no different...so he can do whatever he wants without caring what we think."
Hearing this, Fang Chang glanced at him twice in surprise.
I didn't expect this guy to have such awareness and understand himself so thoroughly.
Seeing that Fang Chang didn't speak, Luo Feihui continued in a very soft voice.
"Most of the farms here are like this, and the reason goes back so long... that most people here have forgotten all about it."
"There used to be a real settlement in Jinhe City, and its prosperity was no less than that of Boulder City in the north. However, because a group of guys who thought about things with their toes took it upon themselves to take in a group of green-skinned bastards, the entire The settlement fell apart."
"Some people luckily escaped to the farms outside. Out of fear of the green-skinned monsters, they decided to unite and resist. They used the food they grew to trade with Boulder City in the north in exchange for weapons to protect themselves. Many things happened later. Eventually the small farms were annexed by the larger ones, and the survivors who lost their land became slaves... This is the history of most of the farms here, and the past of Pinecone Farm.”
"You think I want to complain? Then you have misunderstood me. I think this is a necessary price. In order to defeat the impossible enemy, we must make greater sacrifices than our enemies..."
When he said this, Luo Feihui suddenly changed the topic and his voice became excited.
"But haven't you noticed? People here seem to have completely forgotten why we put ropes around our necks in the first place... It was to drive out those mutants and drive away every last one of those green-skinned monsters. Take back our honor and prosperity!"
"But now, as you can see, we started to grow those narcotics, listened to the lies spun by a group of magicians, immersed in the dreams they made up, fantasizing about forming an alliance with mutants, and then taking some of the narcotics The drowned wretches were sold to mutants to become their food and breeding tools... If my grandfather were still alive, he would definitely be ashamed of what he is today."
"We are putting ropes around our necks with our own hands and becoming slaves of the mutants, but that idiot is still determined to be the dog of the church! He also wants to drag everyone here with him! Even if Hope Town has proved enough, those mutants He doesn’t treat us differently because of what we believe, and he’s still comforting himself that that’s just an exception.”
"I don't know what Yang He has promised you, but I dare to say that I am definitely a more suitable candidate than him. There are many of my confidants in this settlement who are on my side. The most he can do is help you enter the settlement. Land, and I have a way to help you get directly into the Zhao Mansion... In exchange for helping you, I have only one request!"
"What's the request?" Fang Chang looked at the man who became more and more excited as he spoke with questioning eyes.
He didn't know if this guy could be trusted.
But if this person really thinks so, there is indeed a possibility for them to cooperate.
Luo Feihui also stared at him intently and spoke word by word.
"Let me be the owner of this farm!"
…
The night is getting darker.
Near midnight, the drunken mercenaries were led back to the gate of Pinecone Wood Farm by the guards of the settlement.
Just as Fang Chang guessed, the suspicious farmer would not let them stay on the farm overnight. The residence where they stayed was outside the farm wall.
But the old man obviously didn't think about another thing.
These drunken drunkards are not the previous group of mercenaries, but the domestic servants of the officer named Luo, but they have changed into the casual clothes that the players were wearing when they came in.
Although the appearance was completely different, no one noticed it in the dark, and no one noticed anything wrong until they reached the entrance of the settlement.
The only one who saw the clues was Wu Wenzhou.
He vaguely guessed something in his heart, but with Luo Feihui's subordinates watching him, he did not dare to say anything. He could only pretend to take those people to stay in the hotel prepared by Master Zhao.
At this moment, wooden boxes were carried to the back door of Xinglong Hotel, along with Luo Yu and his Xiao Yus.
Following several servants, he slipped into the utility room in the backyard. When Luo Yu saw Fang Chang standing inside checking weapons, he pulled him and asked.
"What's going on? Didn't you agree that I would launch an attack from the outside to help you contain the troops in the settlement?"
Yes.
They had already discussed it before coming to this settlement. They had no intention of completing the mission through infiltration or other mild means. Instead, they planned to capture the thief first and capture the farmer directly. Got off.
It's just a settlement of 50,000 people, and the power structure is usually not that complicated. As long as the one who gives the orders is controlled, the entire settlement will basically fall into their hands.
Knead it as much as you want, let alone release a few hostages and find out some clues about the Torch Church.
When he first heard Elder Brother Fang's idea, Luo Yu was shocked. He didn't expect this guy to be so reckless.
But after thinking about it, this might not be the most efficient way.
Just take down the farm, wouldn’t all the tasks be easily solved?
But when he was ready to take action, this guy sent him another message saying that the original plan was cancelled.
"The situation has changed, and now there is a better way... Just tell me."
After checking the weapons, Fang Chang looked at Luo Feihui who was standing aside. The latter coughed slightly and repeated his plan.
"The chefs in the hotel are all servants in Mr. Zhao's kitchen. They will take a carriage back to the manor after the banquet."
"My people will detain them. You can take their carriage directly through the inspection post of the manor house and arrive directly at the mansion in the center. The carriage driver is my man, and he will help you deal with the inquiries along the way... …The rest is up to you.”
Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, a little afraid to speak.
"It's that simple?"
"You'd better not take this lightly."
Luo Feihui glanced at him and continued seriously.
"That Zhao Tiangan has raised some awakened people as thugs. If gunshots are heard in the manor, it will only take ten minutes at most for the thousand-man team stationed nearby to rush over... And I don't have many subordinates that I can directly command. I'm afraid there are not many. It will help you more."
"Understood," Fang Chang replied casually without any hesitation, "You just need to deal with the aftermath and leave the rest to us."
Luo Feihui nodded slightly.
"I have put my wealth and life on you. I hope everything goes well for you."
After saying that, he exited the door.
Looking at the closed wooden door, Luo Yu looked at Fang Chang suspiciously and whispered in Mandarin.
"Is this guy... okay? It's just our first meeting, and he's helping us like this?"
He actually didn't quite believe it.
This plan sounded a little too smooth, as if this guy knew they were coming and even guessed what they were going to do.
"I don't completely trust him. I don't rule out that the guy is hiding something from us or has other ideas, but now that we have been discovered, the original script will definitely not work. In this case, why not first Let’s see what script he has prepared for us.”
With that said, Fang Chang took out the VM and tapped it with his index finger. Soon a black and white thermal imaging aerial video was projected onto the screen.
Look carefully, the center of the screen is the Pinecone Farm!
White bright spots marked the heat source in the darkness. They were still wandering around the street at this time. It didn’t take much to guess that they were patrols on the farm.
Recognizing this familiar operating interface, Luo Yu immediately opened his eyes.
"Good guy...Seagull?!"
Seagull fixed-wing drone!
Able to carry eight R-36 "Sanction" air-to-surface missiles, it has previously participated in the alliance's military operations in the Luoxia Province and shone on the battlefield!
I didn't expect this guy to actually use all these things.
Seeing the surprised expression on Luo Yu's face, Fang Changyan explained briefly and concisely.
"We reported this operation to the Alliance Army Command in advance and it was approved by the managers. If this settlement is allowed to grow Naguo, it will pose a serious threat to the entire southern part of the River Valley Province and even the Luoxia Province... He hoped that we would do a good job of cleaning up and remove the tumor at the minimum cost."
"I remember that one shot of R-36 seemed to cost 100,000 Cr." Luo Yu said with envy.
His mission is only worth one hundred thousand silver coins in total!
He couldn't even imagine such expensive support!
Fang Chang coughed lightly.
"The thing hanging on the drone is actually not an R-36, but a pigeon missile from Jushi Military Industry... That thing is not that exaggerated."
As he spoke, he clicked on the VM screen and switched the communication channel to Lao Bai.
"The recording has been sent, and this is the specific situation... We have received help from internal agents, and now we plan to directly occupy the Zhao Mansion in the center of Pine Cone Wood Farm."
After the buzzing sound of electricity, Lao Bai's voice came from the earphones.
"Understood, do you still need our support?"
Fang Chang: "...You guys are waiting nearby. If the situation is optimistic, there is no need. The best result is to control the entire settlement without the Torch Church noticing it at all... This way, you don't have to waste a single shot, and you can still be in the area." Kill them by surprise at the critical moment."
Lao Bai: "This is a good idea, but is it too optimistic?"
Fang Chang said seriously.
"Worth a try."
Lao Bai said cheerfully.
"Okay, it's up to you!"
The tacit understanding between the two does not require much communication, and they quickly reached an agreement after simple communication.
Not long after, Luo Feihui returned to the door and informed everyone that the carriage was ready, and the group got on the carriage with their equipment.
There are three carriages in total, which look like a covered wagon for pulling goods. Each carriage can fit seven or eight people inside without feeling crowded at all.
The ride was silent.
Holding the rifle tightly in his hand, Luo Yu, who was sitting on the carriage, felt his heart beating fast. The slightest movement outside made him tense up.
Although he had been on the battlefield many times, this was his first time doing such an exciting infiltration mission.
"Don't worry," Ye Shi, who was sitting aside, smiled and said softly, "I don't feel any killing intent at the moment... At least no one is targeting us within five hundred meters."
"Your psychological quality is okay." Luo Yu glanced at him in surprise.
"Hey, what's the point," Ye Shi said nonchalantly, "Back then in Xizhou City, it was much more exciting than this. And for games, it only takes three days to die."
"That makes sense."
Luo Yu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was the case. Even if he failed, he would only have to wait for three days for the CD.
But my sense of immersion was so strong that I almost got played by the game... Hiss, wait, that's not right!
He suddenly remembered that unlike these guys who could reopen at any time, he still had a mission worth 100,000 silver coins.
If this is messed up, the mission will probably be ruined!
When he thought of this, he became anxious again...
Fortunately, there were no near misses along the way.
The sentries on duty really didn't check carefully. They just glanced at the man on the horse, yawned and waved him off.
The distance of six hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye.
They successfully passed through the gate of the manor house, passed two sentries with machine guns, and soon saw the magnificently decorated villa not far away.
Its exterior wall is entirely made of marble, carved with exquisite reliefs, like a work of art, and is seven stories high.
From a distance, it looks like a castle standing in the garden, reminding people of the old leech on Beit Street.
It's just that this mansion is much more luxurious than the tinkering "amusement park castle", and the wealth of the two is obviously incomparable.
"Let me go...can he live in so many rooms?" Ye Shi secretly counted the windows of the mansion through the gap in the carriage, and Ye Shi couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Bang Feng teased him on the communication channel.
"Do you think I live alone?"
"Uh, it seems so..."
Ye Shi thought about it for a while and thought that it seemed to make sense.
If he were to be the local emperor, it would be a shame for him not to open a harem of seventy or eighty.
Sure enough, poverty limited his imagination.
Passing by a fountain, the driver of the carriage coughed twice when he saw the patrol leaving in a direction away from here.
After receiving the signal, the players immediately picked up the weapon, jumped off the carriage, opened the safety, and loaded the rifle.
Lowering his voice, Fang Chang ordered over the communication channel.
"...Group A goes around the back of the building to prevent the target from escaping. Group B is on standby in the atrium garden. After the exchange of fire, they move into the building!"
"The main entrance of Group C, the window at the end of the corridor on the left side of Group D!"
"action!"
A uniform answer came from the communication channel.
"receive!"
The teams' routes forward have been marked on drone aerial images.
Everyone quickly arrived at the fighting position and, as planned, divided into four groups and crossed the densely planted garden.
Ten Xiaoyus are scattered among four teams, and wearing K-10 "iron wall" exoskeletons, they serve as the forwards of the team.
After leading Team C closer to the main entrance, Fang Chang winked at Luo Yu, who was on the other side of the main entrance. The latter gave a knowing shout in the communication channel.
"Xiaoyu!"
"Ugh!"
An energetic reply came from the communication channel.
I saw a fruit body wearing an iron wall exoskeleton making a running gesture, and then like a football player, it slammed into the door with its shoulder.
"boom--!"
The heavy door panel was easily knocked open.
The silent night was shattered by the sudden sound.
But now there is no need to cover up anymore.
Drones loaded with missiles are hovering in the sky. Four teams have completely surrounded the entire building. The remaining task is to catch the turtle in the urn.
Team C immediately broke into the dark hall, and Team D also started taking action.
However, the moment he burst into the hall, Fang Chang immediately felt something was wrong, and a faint smell of blood penetrated his nostrils.
Then he saw a body that had been dead for an unknown period of time, hanging under the chandelier in the hall.
The man's stomach had been cut open, and his intestines were hung around his neck. His blood-stained face seemed to be twisted into a ball in pain, and he looked extremely miserable.
The moment he saw the corpse, Fang Chang's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately turned on the flashlight and shined a light on it.
That officer's uniform, and that face...
It was the officer named Luo Feihui!
He won't admit his mistake!
They had met just an hour ago!
Fang Chang felt a chill down his spine and couldn't figure out how this guy died here. Or maybe this guy is dead a long time ago, and there was someone else who was in contact with him just now.
At this moment, a creaking sound came from the side.
He flicked the flashlight over there, and saw a huge creature sitting on the ground, stuffing something into its mouth as if no one else was around, and chewing happily.
The guy's skin was dark green, but he didn't look like a mutant, but more like the fruiting body "Butcher" of slime mold.
The fat is squeezed into a ball on its body!
It looks like a rockery sitting there!
Several hideous-looking corpses were scattered beside it.
There are men, women, old people and children... and their body parts.
These dead people are probably the family members of that officer.
"Bleach..."
Luo Yu, who was standing aside, felt his stomach churn and raised his gun to point at the monster who ignored them and continued to feast.
At this time, a dry and hoarse voice came from above the stairs.
There was a hint of ridicule in that voice.
"It is said that……"
"Someone is looking for me?"
