Chapter 165 Prophecy

Vladivostok, Siberia.

A002 Control Zone 3.

The reinforcements sent by Eoubs got to know each other.

To be honest, Gu Heng was only unfamiliar with a few of them; he had met the others several times, especially Carlos and Melink, his two old partners. Originally, their names weren't on the reinforcement list, but unfortunately, the other continental branches sent too many people. If Dongxia didn't offer something in return, they would have to increase the number of reinforcements several times over when selecting the next batch, which would be a huge loss.

And then there's Miss An from the Passage Department—they only just learned her full name—An Ru Shi. Damn… she's incredibly elegant, supposedly with the qualities that make her suitable to assist these murderers. Right now, she has a bitter and resentful look on her face, and it seems the higher-ups didn't give her any warning at all.

Yu Jianchu, on the other hand, seemed indifferent. Together with Yu Yu, they turned on the deployment settings and prepared to assemble it on the spot.

The startup process for this thing is absolutely atrocious. Yesterday, Gore just dragged a usable engine out of the backup resource vault in the recycling room, and it turns out to be a dangerous item capable of allowing space jumps. Well, it's not too bad, probably just something those idiots in the research department have already messed with. As long as it works, it's fine.

After all, the spread of 2407 has now increased threefold. Using such a forbidden object that can jump through space would likely cause a resonance. Therefore, they could only come to this safe area, which had been cleared more than a hundred times, under the guidance of the frontline soldiers to carry out the collective deployment.

Carlos, bored, took out two screwdrivers and a wrench from his notebook and said to Yu Jianchu, "Let's make this clear first, I'll only look for new gadgets that are compatible with me, you can do whatever you want with them."

"Why keep thinking about those damn things?" She opened the floating screen and entered the access code that had been handed over beforehand.

Carlos thought for a few seconds and then said to him in an extremely serious tone, "I aspire to become a great writer of our time, so I need material."

Yu Jianchu stared at him like he was an idiot for a moment, then turned to discuss it with Yu Yu. The two of them rarely spoke unless absolutely necessary, but the idiotic idea their teammate on the other side had definitely needed a serious discussion.

After a brief assessment of the current situation in Siberia, the two decided to disperse the drop sites. Everyone was free to do whatever they wanted—whether they wreaked havoc or simply settled down somewhere—it didn't matter; everyone had their own agenda, and as long as the final outcome was positive, that was all that mattered.

—If this were just a routine control mission, they could easily assess the situation and, for example, avoid any unmanageable dangers or simply set things aside. Why go to such lengths? But this is a damn intercontinental joint operation. The most important thing to consider isn't what's inside Heaven's Gospel, but whether the other operatives' objectives conflict with yours—who knows what absurd demands those continents might have? If they were truly so united in wanting to retrieve the forbidden substance, why didn't they choose a time to come together?

The higher-ups wouldn't like them splitting up as soon as they reached the core area; that's illogical. They might even have some personality splits, and they wouldn't like this group acting together. Since nothing they do can satisfy the powerful, then they might as well just give up.

There are no coincidences in the world of Eoubs. Every minute and every breath here is extremely costly. There are a bunch of observers watching you from behind the terminal, and every move you make is quickly added to the database.

Of course, there was no better way out. They had no choice but to accept it—that's how they've always lived, and they're used to it.

Yu Jianchu continued fiddling with the series of encrypted data, while Carlos took a wrench and crawled behind the device, nervously saying that this thing needed to be properly trained.

There shouldn't be any major changes for now. Most of the people present are close to becoming B-level candidates, and Merlink wasn't idle either. He found a flat spot, opened his easel, and started doodling in front of everyone, probably drawing some scapegoat scenarios to prevent anyone from actually dying in this mission.

An Rushi and Yu Yu were talking about something when An Rushi suddenly called her aside, looking serious as if she were plotting something important.

Only Gu Heng—this guy, like an outsider—watched Carlos hand the screwdriver to Yu Jianchu and slowly said to her, "There's something I don't understand."

"Why do you insist on getting involved in a mission with a 90% mortality rate?"

The other person entered new code, glanced over, and someone tossed her a wrench, saying that these were all special products that could make any mechanical tool stable, and the usage was very simple—just tap them a few times.

She lowered her head and continued fiddling with the dispensing device.

Carlos glanced at Gu Heng and scoffed, "Dude, is it some kind of ghost talking to us now?"

“I naturally have my reasons for getting involved.”

"Yes, you're right! You're right!"

"They gave you a risk assessment report and even brought the results of a simulated event."

"So you came too?"

"Because I know I won't die here."

"So you mean everyone except you is going to go to heaven? Okay, that's awesome, bro."

"Haha, that's not necessarily true."

“Sounds pretty good.” Yu Jianchu suddenly said, without looking up, but she laughed: “I browsed the forum, and you two were having a wild time in the salon. The scene was incredibly erotic. In the end, someone even cried and begged to stop. You really have the heart to do this to your old partner.”

Gu Heng sighed, took out a menthol cigarette from his pocket, gave them two, lit one, and took a big drag.
