"They actually accepted that simple search mission?! Are they crazy? Although the mission is rated as simple, since it's located in the core area of Quancheng, and three teams led by Level 7 Awakeners have already failed in their previous missions, the mission's actual difficulty should have reached nightmare level! For a team led by a Level 5 team leader to accept a mission with a rating that's completely inconsistent with its actual level, what's the difference between this and suicide?!"
Chen Ke listened to the report from his men and felt it was extremely absurd.
After repeatedly confirming with his subordinates and confirming that they were not wrong and that the other party had really accepted such a task, Shen Ke suddenly fell into a state of self-doubt.
"No... why? What were they thinking? What was their purpose in accepting this mission? Three teams led by Level 7 Awakeners have failed in a row. Do they really think they can complete it? And even if they have blind confidence in themselves, there is absolutely no need for them to accept such a mission!
The difficulty is clearly stated in the mission description, and the mission itself only has an easy reward level, with no hidden rewards. No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't take a mission like this! If you really want to take an easy mission, why not take something else? Are you crazy or just killing me?
Chen Ke couldn't help but mutter to himself, his mind in a mess.
Because he had no way of understanding Chen Yan's team's tendency to accept tasks through his own inherent cognition.
No matter how you look at it, this isn't something a normal person would do...
"Boss, then... then should we still follow them? When Lao Si came back just now, he said they were close to the edge of the core area of Quancheng. However, because the view over there is relatively open, and the terrain becomes extremely complex once you enter the edge of the core area, there's no telling when mutants and zombies might pop up. So Lao Si didn't dare to continue following and turned back first. What... what should we do next?"
The subordinate asked cautiously.
Chen Ke's expression kept changing.
It can be seen that he is extremely conflicted at this moment.
Deep down, he really wanted to take his men outside the actual control area to get rid of Chen Yan and others.
In this case, as long as there is no substantial evidence to prove that he was the one who led the attack, then even if rumors spread everywhere in the company afterwards that he was the one who did it, it doesn't matter at all!
Not only can it not cause any harm to him, but it can also objectively enhance his reputation and give those outsiders a strong deterrent!
But the problem is...the other party actually accepted such an outrageous mission, and after accepting the mission, he actually immediately went into the core area of Quancheng...who can withstand this?!
If he still brought his men to follow him under such circumstances and entered the core area of Quancheng together, who knows what the final result would be.
What if someone doesn't find it and instead gets himself involved? Wouldn't that be fun?
With these thoughts in his mind, Chen Ke coughed dryly and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. Since they are determined to seek death, there is no need for us to join in the fun. Let it be. Even a Level 7 Awakener can't complete this mission. There was even a Level 7 Awakener who almost wiped out his team. I don't believe they can really complete it.
"Whether they never return, or only one or two return, the outcome won't make any difference to us. As long as they suffer heavy losses, we can claim it was us who sabotaged them. Without taking any risks, we can still achieve our goal. Isn't that comfortable?"
"Boss, you're so wise!"
"Of course. How can someone who is not wise be your leader?"
Shen Ke said proudly.
There was an instant flood of flattery all around.
At this time, Chen Yan and others had found a relatively suitable place to stay on the edge of the core area of Quancheng.
It is similar to the villa area on the edge of Qindao’s core area, and is also an abandoned residential area.
However, this residential area is not composed of villas, but rows of low-rise buildings.
Most of the buildings have collapsed, with only three buildings still standing.
One building has nine floors and two have eleven floors. The elevators are no longer usable and the water and power supply systems are completely destroyed.
Although the building is relatively well preserved, a foul odor is emanating from inside the building.
Chen Yan and his group entered the nine-story building and swept every room and every corner of the building from bottom to top.
Only a few living mutant creatures were found, and no zombies were found at all.
There are very few human corpses, and the few skeletons that remain are incomplete. Obviously, most of the human corpses have been eaten by zombies or mutants. Even if they are bones, the zombies and mutants can still digest them.
"Let's stay here. According to the details in the mission description, we only need to stay here for about ten days. Then we can declare the mission a failure and return to the mission management office to cancel it."
Standing in a house on the top floor of the building, Chen Yan took his men to clean up the house briefly and cleared out all the waste inside. Then he clapped his hands and said with a smile.
This house is a one-story building, with an estimated area of about 230 to 240 square meters, but it only has four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, so each room appears very large.
It is not difficult to clean up. As long as they can live in it, people in small groups do not care about the living environment.
"Of course, we can't be too idle during these ten days. We need to find some containers that can be used to hold water. It's best to have recognizable ones that you can tell at a glance they were picked up from the core area of Quancheng. That way it will look more authentic. So everyone, split up into groups. Brother Xu, please bear with the heavy lifting. During the day, take everyone out to find some suitable containers."
At this point, Chen Yan thought for a moment and continued, "If we want the entire process to look flawless, we'll have to actually transport ten tons of water back from here. This amount of water will take up ten cubic meters of space. Even if we can carry it, it'll be hard to find a suitable container. So it would be best if we could find a simple means of transportation. Even if the container isn't suitable, we can just put it on the transport and bring it back."
Xu Qinghe nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Ten days is more than enough!"
