Chapter 266: The Target Appears
September 7th, White Dew.
How many days until the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Unfortunately, no one now indulges in the leisurely elegance of “people gathering, moon shining, and a thousand miles apart”.
Luo Yan doesn’t either.
He has forgotten how long it has been since he last ate mooncakes.
At this moment.
Driving his modified camper van, he traveled on the bumpy road towards Guangling City.
His mecha has been repaired and upgraded to meet the minimum standard of ‘Divine Guard’.
It has now been sent to Guangling by a dedicated team.
He did not return with the team.
He drove the camper van as Red Ghost, pulling back his small mecha.
Beep beep beep.
The phone rang.
It was the one exclusively for ‘Heiwu.’
The name Yu Qiushui appeared clearly on the phone screen.
Before the natural disasters struck, ‘Heiwu’ had 7 satellites, ensuring global communication coverage.
After the disasters, only 3 were still functioning.
It’s hard to say if it covers the whole world, but people like Luo Yan can still receive calls even in the wilderness.
Luo Yan put on his Bluetooth earpiece and answered the call.
“Red Ghost,” Yu Qiushui’s voice had an inexplicable magnetism.
Luo Yan softly made a sound through his nose.
Yu Qiushui lazily said, “Heard you left?”
“Went to Guangling,” Luo Yan didn’t hide.
Yu Qiushui nodded, then said, “Team 3’s captain Liu Xiao might harm you, though there’s no direct evidence yet. Just consider it a woman’s intuition.”
“Be careful.”
Luo Yan replied simply, “Okay.”
Yu Qiushui chuckled twice, “Young and concise, careful with words like an old man, not good.”
Then hung up the phone.
Luo Yan had a blank expression on his face.
It was getting late.
He looked around.
The ‘Eye of Reality’ opened.
A humanoid grey light was spotted not far away.
There were many of them.
It should be a survivor camp on the surface, or something like a surface base.
He turned the steering wheel.
Luo Yan walked towards the place with human activities.
Before long, a run-down small town appeared in sight.
The not-so-wide street, short electric poles, general store, teahouse, and a factory with ‘demolish’ painted on its outside wall but never actually demolished.
Luo Yan’s renovated caravan attracted many people’s attention when it drove in.
Finally, the car drove into an abandoned paper mill and parked in the overgrown yard.
Turn off the engine, remove the key.
Luo Yan opened the car door, got out, and took a breath of fresh air.
Walking to the back of the car, he opened the cargo door and climbed inside.
Sitting next to mecha, he rested a light machine gun at his feet and picked up Heiwu’s phone.
Log in to the captain’s account.
Under the name ‘Red Ghost’, a mail icon was blinking.
Clicked on it, there were two emails inside.
[Long-term mission: Go to Guangling and establish a base.]
4。 [Description: After the natural disaster, our side suffered heavy losses, with few remaining branches. Currently, out of the eighteen cities in the north, Guangling has not yet been taken. Special mission for Black Abyss Department Team 7 to go to Guangling, try to establish a base.
The organization will give corresponding rewards based on the size of the base.]
[Note: 1 million starting funds have been received.]
Another email.
[Team mission: Recruit a main team.]
[Description: Since Zhang Ze’s death, the main team of Black Abyss Department Team 7 has not been formed, and there are not enough personnel to carry out branch tasks. Special mission for the Captain of Team 7 ‘Red Ghost’ to recruit a main team within three months, with an average strength of at least Primary Level 3, and a team of at least 20 members.]
[Note: You must not refuse this task. If you cannot complete it on time, the task will be considered failed, and the qualification as captain of ‘Red Ghost’ will be revoked.]
[Note 2: The starting capital of 500,000 has been received.]
……
“Two tasks.”
Luo Yan once again opened ‘Heiwu’ network shop.
The items are mainly categorized into ‘mecha’, ‘Battle Technique’, ‘mystical art’, ‘footwork’, ‘secret technique’, ‘unique skill’, ‘potions’, ‘martial arts techniques’, ‘equipment’.
The content is rich with a wide variety of items.
Only captains have the authority to log in and make purchases in this online shop.
In ‘Heiwu’, team members are generally not assigned contribution points.
Every time a task is completed, all the contribution points gained belong to the captain.
The captain can exchange the contribution points earned based on the team members’ contributions in the store, and distribute them to subordinates as rewards.
As for the captain, or even other positions such as department heads, they have set permissions.
In this way, they control subordinates layer by layer.
Like Luo Yan’s current permissions, the sections ‘mecha’, ‘magic spells’, and ‘martial arts’ are locked, each requiring 1000 contribution points to unlock.
Luo Yan can imagine.
After unlocking, not all items inside are available.
Some items may require higher permissions, like being a department head, to unlock.
By the way.
The auction section was similar, but it had an additional section called ‘helpers’.
That was for people who wanted to sell themselves.
Close the shop, put away the phone.
Luo Yan glanced outside the factory gate.
It was getting dark.
Outside was dark and dimly lit. Even with the faint light, it looked eerie, as if worrying about attracting a giant beast.
Remembering Yu Qiushui’s words.
Luo Yan put on a cloak, picked up the long knife ‘Ring Dragon’, and pulled down his hat as he walked outside the factory gate.
Is Team 3 captain Liu Xiao going to be unfriendly towards him?
It seems like Team 7 is changing leaders, everyone wants to get involved.
That’s natural.
Luo Yan, the Captain of Team 7, was recommended by Yu Qiushui. It’s clear to everyone that Team 1 and Team 7 are now on the same boat.
In the Black Abyss Department, Yu Qiushui is the most likely to become a department head.
If someone is aiming for the position of department head, they would have to undermine Yu Qiushui.
But Yu Qiushui is a tough nut to crack, not easily influenced.
What should we do?
Of course, the best approach would be to target Luo Yan, the newly appointed Captain of Team 7.
The difference lies in…
How will Liu Xiao plan to create a disadvantage?
Is it a test?
Or is it unleashing all his power, striking with thunder?
As he pondered, Luo Yan had already left the factory and was walking on the dim street.
He activated the ‘Eye of Reality’, using it to actively search for enemies!
At the same time.
He remembered the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’.
After obtaining this object, Luo Yan attempted to absorb it.
But this time, holding the fragment did not trigger any anomalies.
If this thing wasn’t given to him personally by Feng Qingyu, and where the fragment is, everything is full of life.
Luo Yan was starting to doubt if what he got was real.
Now, the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’ did not glow and merge as it used to.
Luo Yan wondered if because he had already transformed twice, the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’ could no longer stimulate his Divine Hidden Art to break through.
Feng Qingyu probably never thought about this.
Who would have thought that his Divine Hidden Art had already transformed and broken through twice!
As Luo Yan approached a bell tower.
A telepathic message suddenly intensified.
It nearly took over his field of vision.
The message inside Luo Yan’s mind said: Target spotted!
