Chapter 289 Prey
The high physical attributes and the night vision ability of the vampire bloodline make Fang Heng immune to the effect of 'dark fear' to a great extent.
Soon, after approaching the coordinates, Fang Heng noticed the flickering fire on the Gobi desert not far ahead.
There is a cave entrance in the middle of the Gobi bare rock.
The firelight leaked from the cave.
Fang Heng did not immediately investigate in depth. Instead, he hid behind a rock and tried to send a message to Deng Xin through the survival radio to inquire about the situation.
Fang Heng: I am outside the cave now. Are you inside the cave? How is the situation?
Deng Xin: Yes, my team and I are now concentrated in the cave. Lao Hei did not show up for this operation. Liu Keyi is commanding us. After entering the mine, she distributed shovels and tools to us. We dig into the mine.
Dig a cave?
Seeing Deng Xin’s reply, Fang Heng became even more curious.
He tried to feel his way toward the rock wall.
"Huh? So what?"
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Using the night vision ability and high perception attribute of the vampire bloodline, Fang Heng noticed two black figures hiding behind the desert rocks not far away.
It’s a player!
Who could it be?
Fang Heng was confused.
He lowered his footsteps, activated his breath-hiding skill, and cautiously approached the two of them.
The two players did not notice someone approaching from behind. They were hiding behind a rock and carefully observing the cave ahead through binoculars.
As he got closer, Fang Heng heard the two of them talking quietly.
"Hey, this damn place doesn't let you light a bonfire, it's so cold."
"What are you thinking about, lighting a fire? Are you afraid that others won't see you? This mission is very important, and your superiors have told you to Don't disturb them."
"I understand, that's all I said, you said it took them so long. Why is there no movement at all? What are you doing in there? "
"Don't worry about it, just check the records... As soon as you find them leaving the cave, notify the shelter immediately. "
Fang Heng stopped, gave up his previous idea of going over to say hello, and ducked into the darkness.
He's actually from the Federation?
If you think about it carefully, it seems right.
The current game environment is still in the early stage of the game.
Except for a few players with special talents and attributes, most others cannot act at night.
That is, the federation and some large game companies can find such players for investigation.
There is only one large federal shelter within a hundred miles of here.
Listening to the conversation between the two players, the Federation has discovered traces of Night Owl.
And they didn’t take action immediately, but instead lurked outside the mine to observe?
Fang Heng feels more and more interesting.
After retreating into the darkness, Fang Heng put on another mask, turned on the breath concealment state, and circled from the side, approaching the entrance of the cave.
There are two players guarding the entrance to the cave.
Fang Heng slowly approached the rock wall, hiding in the blind spot of the two players' sight, and once again sent a message to Deng Xin through the survival radio.
Fang Heng: I was on the edge of the rock wall outside the cave entrance, trying to find a way to come out and chat for a few words.
Deng Xin: Let me try.
After a moment, Deng Xin walked out of the cave.
Deng Xin said to the two players guarding the entrance of the cave: "The next group of people will take turns in ten minutes. Go back and report the situation to Liu Keyi. I will watch for you for a while."
"Thank you."
The two guard players didn't think much, thanked them casually, and walked towards the cave together.
In the cave, there were still a few pairs of eyes staring at Deng Xin.
Deng Xin did not leave the sight of others. She pretended to want to breathe fresh air and walked out of the cave casually for a few steps.
Soon, she heard a small shout from the side.
"Deng Xin."
Deng Xin stopped, pretended to be casual, stretched, and responded with a slight voice.
"Fang Heng, I checked. The inside of the cave was once an abandoned laboratory of Meteor Company. For some reason, it was completely blocked by Meteor Company and the passage was completely blown down."
"Liu Keyi wants us to dig the entire passage again and enter the laboratory."
"I just saw the construction drawings provided by Liu Keyi. It will take about two days to completely dig the tunnel at our speed."
Fang Heng frowned when he heard this.
Meteor Company?
Abandoned laboratory?
Fancy!
What tricks is Night Owl up to again?
Deng Xin said, turned around and threw a ball of paper in the direction of Fang Heng.
“This is a construction map I drew based on my memory. This stone is very strange. My team members dug it accidentally when they were digging the tunnel.”
“Liu Ke Yi Ye asked us to collect as many stones as possible."
"Okay, I understand."
Fang Heng picked up the paper ball thrown by Deng Xin from the ground.
When I opened it, I saw that the map on the paper was hand-drawn.
You can roughly tell that this is the internal structure of the cave.
There is also a small piece of gravel wrapped in the paper ball.
Fang Heng held the gravel in his hand and observed it.
[Item: Special small stones].
Explanation: This is a rather special stone. If you look closely, you can see that blue fluorescence leaks from it, which looks very strange.
Additional notes: You feel that the stone seems to contain some kind of special energy (perception attribute is greater than 20, additional information is obtained).
Ore?
Fang Heng was even more confused.
"I heard that this operation is related to the Federation."
"Night Owl is going to use this opportunity to severely attack the Federation's power in the eighth server."
"Also, I just noticed that there are a lot of explosives hidden in the cave."
"The explosives are powerful enough to collapse the entire cave."
Another explosive!
What exactly does Night Owl want to do?
Fang Heng is becoming more and more unpredictable.
"Fang Heng, Liu Keyi is very suspicious, I have to go back first."
"Okay, if there is anything, please contact me through the survival radio."
The two communicated briefly After a few words, they each left.
Fang Heng glanced at the location of the federal surveillance duo in the distance and returned the same way.
He was not sure if the people in the Federation had noticed him.
But it doesn’t matter.
Fang Heng decided to go back first.
The Federation may know something. Find a safe place first and go offline to find Chen Yu to ask about the situation.
If that doesn't work, the transformation of the second phase of the Licker Group is about to be completed anyway.
When the time comes, just bring the lickers over and crush them all the way!
......
"So Fang Heng, our federation is just like you, and we were all severely tricked by Night Owl!"
"Alas!"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Yu felt a heavy sense of powerlessness.
He was unwilling and sighed deeply.
“It is no longer possible to continue the main mission in Area 8.”
“I suggest you focus on other tasks and don’t die with the main mission. "Knock."
Chen Yu thought Fang Heng was here to ask him about the main mission, so he persuaded Fang Heng to give up.
Fang Heng nodded. What he learned from Chen Yu was similar to what he had guessed before.
The first-generation meteorite was destroyed. When the Federation came to its senses, they realized that all the great engineers in the entire eighth server had died long ago.
Chen Yudao: "But it doesn't matter. The main mission cannot be completed, and the impact on players will not be big. The Federation will do its best to protect the safety of the people and completely eradicate the Night Owl forces."
Fang Heng didn't call because of this, he immediately brought the topic back.
"Okay, do you have any news related to the Night Owl Organization recently?" (End of Chapter)
