When Feng Luo and Mu Zi returned to the periphery of the Level 30 area, a remainder of the commercial building had been selected by Mu Wu as the Battle Command in the evening. They found that there were already a few players walking around, doing work, and transporting their combat supplies into the building. Some of them had a guild logo representing Veterans Tribe on the front their chests, which consisted of a saber and a bullet.
“You’re back.”
As they walked inside the building, they saw Mu Wu standing in front of a large virtual projector and talking to a female Scout player wearing a camouflage suit with a Veterans Tribe insignia on her chest. When he saw Feng Luo and Mu Zi, he greeted them before gesturing to the female player.
“Hey Feng! Let me introduce you to someone! This is the commander designated by the Veterans Tribe to help us. Her ID is…”
Due to the issue caused by the self-destructing beetle, they had lost a lot of people. Dark Night Stars had therefore decided to hire another 500 people from the Veterans Tribe and the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group. 200 of them were assigned to the Southern District where Nightless City was in charge. As for the female Scout player who was indicated by Mu Wu, she was wearing a yellowish-brown camouflage combat uniform, and her lean legs were in tall black military boots. Her short hair framed a slightly neutral face that was gorgeous and showed her heroic spirit.
Most importantly, at the moment, she was surprised to see Feng Luo.
“Mr. Feng?” she said.
Feng Luo smiled and greeted her. “Miss Rose, we met again! What a coincidence!”
The Veterans Tribe leaders were acquainted with Feng Luo. Their reconnaissance captain, the Black Rose, who was the female player that had competed with Roaring Dragon Lightwind to buy the Hurricane Controller on the Exchange.
“Hi!” she said. “It is surprising to see you joining this mission too.”
Black Rose was actually a bit shocked. As the club president, it was the first time Mu Wu had introduced her to a player with such an attitude, which undoubtedly showed that the relationship between Feng Luo and Mu Wu was special. She even noticed that the players from Nightless City looked respectful when they looked at Feng Luo. However, according to her previous information, Feng Luo was just a casual player.
“It seems I’m not qualify as a Scout!” said Black Rose thoughtfully.
‘Well! I didn’t know that the two of you know each other! Let’s have a talk!. Mu Zi, come over with me, I have something to ask you!’
Mu Wu smiled and deliberately called Mu Zi to move away, leaving Feng Luo and Black Rose.
‘Oh! Dan Hen does like the military gill you asked me to give him. I thank you on behalf of him, Mr. Feng.’
Black Rose didn’t feel awkward at all, she talked with decent.
“Don’t mention it! It was actually what he deserved. As he does not accept credits, I gave him the equipment instead!” said Feng Luo.
“Unfortunately, Dan Hen and his team have a serial tasks to complete, therefore, they could not participate in this cleanup mission”, said Black Rose in regret.
Feng Luo was also feeling regretted. He actually had a thought that he could fight alongside with Dan Hen and Grassy this time.
He was almost confirmed that they would not be coming along when he couldn’t see their names on the credits ranking.
“Wow, it was crowded here! Feng, you’re here!”
At the moment, a burst of white light flashed over.
A female player who was also wearing a camouflage combat uniform, equipped with a large diameter Golden Deagle and a black Recurve Saber, with her short golden-white hair was online and appeared next to Feng Luo and Black Rose.
Sister Rui was holding the marvelous looking “Death Ripper” when she came online, with her weapon equipped. This was the method that many players would adopt mainly to prevent the attacks from monsters in the wild when they were going online.
However, Sister Rui’s outlooks attracted Black Rose’s attention immediately upon her appearance.
Both Sister Rui and Black Rose had totally reflected the style of female gunners. Although one was a scout and another was a machine gunner, but both of them were having a heroic spirits.
“Black Rose!”
“Wings-folded Dance!”
They glanced at each other, showing appreciation and admiration in their eyes while nodded at the same time.
After all they were still female players. Their ID was still equipped with some feminine atmosphere although the appearance and dresses are quite heroic.
Sister Rui’s ID was called “Wings-folded Dance”. Feng Luo was completely unexpected that she would give her such a gentle and sadness name since she was quite ‘violent’ in reality.
He was not clear about the true identity of Sister Rui in reality. In fact, although Mu Wu has no permission to view the information of the VIP customers of Ever-bright City, only the big boss could have full access to their information.
“Tik….”
At this moment, there was a sudden call from Mu Wu’s communicator.
“What happened?”
Mu Wu’s communication function was completely opened for the whole day and people normally would just report to him via the channel. Such alarm could indicate that something urgent was about to happen.
“Wu! There were a lot of beetles!”
The voice in the communicator was coming from a male player who was breathing heavily while running.
“A huge amount of beetles suddenly pushed out from the level 40 area. There are at least a few thousands in our direction. There are also quite a few elites and commander monsters among them!”
This was a scout player who was responsible for surveillance on the periphery of the level 40 area. Mu Wu had sent more than a dozen scouts to guard for the 40-level peripheral areas and they would report him if anything happened.
“Ah! Wu! Is the BOSS….BOSS!”
This information was a bit surprising. There was sudden shout in the communicator when Mu Wu was about to say something.
The scout player went offline upon finishing his sentence. It might due to the interruption in communication service by the scout beetle or it might have been hung up.
“A huge amount of beetle was attacking! And there is the BOSS?”
At this moment, the message had actually been sent to the regional mission channel by the other scouts.
The expression of the players around had changed in a sudden.
If anyone could look from the above of NC-5504 ruins, the beetles that were originally densely distributed in the 40-level area had been divided into four directions and were crawling toward the area with the most players.
The large number of beetle army had destroyed the grasslands and woods. They even caused the remaining buildings to collapse. It was out of control.
Beetle was not the insects on earth with the size of a thumb.
The Bladed Beetle over level 30 was as small as a puppy and the Elite Rank Beetle could be double the size of a puppy. And for the Commander Rank Steel Beetle which was the largest of them all, it could be as huge as a heavy-armored tank.
How many beetles are there in the relic?
This could be estimated from the amount of the previous self-destructing beetle attack, which tens of thousands of beetles had bursted out.
Although there were some self-destructing beetles which were smaller in size, lower in levels, and mostly gathered in the periphery, but the amount of six other types of beetles were definitely not less than the self-destructing beetles.
Fortunately, the beetles had been wiped out a large part after cleaning for half a day. Therefore, the remaining beetles was not massive.
But the key point was there was BOSS in between!
“What is a BOSS?”
A BOSS was a strengthful living organism recorded in “War” , which it could challenge hundreds of players with the same level at the same time. It was not the commander in the Town of Exile with no army anymore. A BOSS would have a large number of elites and commanders followers.
As for the players, tt was time for lunch, thus Mu Wu allowed the players to take turns. However, there were least one third of players who went offline.
Especially in the Ever-bright City, there were not even a half of the players online since they had to operate in the night.
Fortunately,there were two hundred players hired by the veteran tribe to play for the money, and most of them were online. Otherwise, withdrawing from the relic area could be their only option.
“Inform the others quickly! Go online as soon as possible if they could!”
Mu Wu made the decision without hesitation upon receiving the order.
“Shui! Please re-compiled the players according to occupation and layout the defense immediately!”
“Miss Black Rose. Please inform the players from the Veteran’s Tribe to coordinate with us.”
“Manager Wu. Please just directly conduct the strategies, the players from the Veteran’s Tribe will give full cooperation!”
Black Rose nodded immediately.
“Well!”
“Tik…”
Mu Wu wanted to say something but he was interrupted by the communicator’s alarm.
“What?!”
Mu Wu was frowning when he heard the words from the people.
“Lin Aotian and some other players were trapped inside a building located at the edge of area 40. Do they need my rescue?”
“Lin Aotian? The name of the young master Lin? It sounds posh!” said Feng Luo in his mind.
“Brother Wu. Are we going to rescue them?”
When Mu Wu turned off the communicator,a light armor warrior standing next to him asked. He was an employee of the Ever-bright City, a combat captain of the Ever-bright City Club in “War”.
“Who is willing to go? 10 thousands of credits if you can rescue them according to the bounty granted by the headquarter!”
Mu Wu lifted his head and looked around.
The crowd went silence for a moment. Most players in the club were frowning. The players from the Veteran’s Tribes could see that the situation was not suitable for them to interject since they were the outsider.
“Don’t look at me!”
Feng Luo saw that Mu Wu has turned his head towards him. He waved his hands and took out the military knife “Mad Dog” at his waist to pick his fingernail.
“After all, they are the people from the headquarter and they were trapped because of trying to provide assistance to us. We should take some actions!”
Mu Wu was frowning and looking at the light armor warrior beside him.
“Please bring a squad to rescue them and please, do your best. However, the number of beetles overwhelming. Therefore, our players may not be able to rush in, understand?”
Mu Wu emphasised on “do your best” but spoke the “however” in slow.
He didn’t bother it anymore after giving commanding, but to turned around and asked Feng Luo something else.
“Feng, let’s discuss the strategy. It seems a little troublesome!”
“Yes!”
The light armor warrior understood Mu Wu’s sentences in a second. He immediately agreed to his order and started searching players for the ‘rescue’ mission.
Feng Luo smiled.
Oh my god, Wu!
(ps: I think you guys had already knew Sister Rui’s full name now. Haha! I’ve mentioned before that there would be easter eggs in this game. Allow me to get playful for a bit.)
When Feng Luo and Mu Zi returned to the periphery of the Level 30 area, a remainder of the commercial building had been selected by Mu Wu as the Battle Command in the evening.
