Chapter 57 Special Mission
Upon hearing Chen Leying's words, Meng Qingyin quickly looked down to check her wristwatch.
Congratulations! You have completed all tasks for this escort mission. A special mission is coming up; you may choose to accept or decline.
[Special Mission: Please reach Highway 327 in 2 hours to claim a mystery reward. The location is approximately 100 kilometers away. Claim the reward?]
A mystery reward?
Could this mysterious reward be a mythical beast egg?
Does that mean everyone gets a mythical beast egg?
Regardless, we have to accept this task.
Meng Qingyin glanced at Chen Leying and asked, "Together?"
She didn't ask Chen Leying if she would accept the mission, because she was certain that Chen Leying would.
There are currently 6 people in the Escort Channel, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should all head over to claim the mystery reward.
This special mission may seem harmless, and failure won't result in any loss, but it's often these kinds of missions that are the most dangerous.
No one knows if others have ulterior motives, so it's safer for her and Chen Leying to be together.
After all, she trusted Chen Leying more than the other four strangers.
Chen Leying thought so too: "Okay."
The two got into their respective cars to receive their special missions and drove towards Highway 327.
An hour and a half later, the two arrived at their destination, only to find that other players were already there.
A red sports car was parked by the roadside, and a man was leaning against the car door.
Hearing the roar of the car engine, the man turned his head to look in this direction.
Meng Qingyin's RV slowly came to a stop. She put the stun gun and heavy knife into her system backpack and then got out of the vehicle.
Chen Leying also got out of the car, and the two exchanged a glance.
The man stepped towards them, and as he got closer, he called out their nicknames: "Mengmeng? Chen Leying?"
Players can see each other's nicknames, but their real names cannot be seen.
Meng Qingyin was also checking the man's information.
Name: Unable to view
Chat nickname: I'm an unlucky person
ID: Unable to view
Physique: *** (Player hidden, cannot be viewed)
Strength: *** (Player hiding, cannot view)
Agility: *** (Player hidden, cannot be viewed)
Comfort level: Normal
Is this person unlucky?
But why can't she see his real name now?
She had seen the real names of Lu Cheng, Yang Zetian, and others when she was enforcing the law before...
A moment later, she understood.
Highway law enforcement officers naturally have the authority to know the names of those being inspected, since the information needs to be uploaded to the cloud system.
Now that she is a player, she naturally cannot see the real names of other players.
But that's not important. Meng Qingyin looked at "I'm an unlucky person" with some vigilance.
Seeing the two girls' wariness, "I'm unlucky" raised his hands and said in a friendly manner, "Don't misunderstand, I mean no harm. I've just been waiting alone for a long time and I'm really bored."
Despite his words, Meng Qingyin remained wary.
Her eyes were fixed on "I'm unlucky," but she asked Chen Leying, "Have you completed your special mission?"
Chen Leying was also staring at "I'm unlucky," and shook her head upon hearing this.
A moment later, remembering that Meng Qingyin couldn't see her movements, she added, "No."
“Something’s not right,” Meng Qingyin said, staring at the unlucky person.
The previous tasks would be rewarded once completed, but for this special task, they had already arrived here within the specified time, so why hadn't the task been completed yet?
"Let's wait and see," Chen Leying replied, staring at the unlucky person.
Unlucky: "..."
Do you two really want to completely ignore him?
He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment: "I haven't completed my special mission either."
Meng Qingyin's face showed an expression that said, "Who asked you?"
Chen Leying's face clearly said, "What's it to me?"
Unlucky: "..."
One instance of extroversion can lead to a lifetime of introversion.
He gave an awkward but polite smile and returned to his sports car.
From this moment on, if he ever speaks again, he's a dog!
Seeing that he had left, Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying both relaxed.
However, the two did not exchange any words, with the former being quite taciturn.
A silence enveloped the highway.
Until the sound of cars came from afar behind the highway.
A short while later, the car approached and stopped behind Chen Leying's SUV.
A woman got off the car. She had short, neat hair, a resolute face, and a healthy tan. She looked very powerful.
She stood there with her back straight and extended her hand to Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying: "Hello, I am Zhao Lan."
Meng Qingyin was surprised. Zhao Lan?
Is it Zhao Lan from her friends list?
Just as she was wondering, Zhao Lan saw her nickname, "So you're Mengmeng..."
Meng Qingyin reached out and shook her hand. "Hello."
Chen Leying remained completely unresponsive throughout.
Zhao Lan smiled and withdrew her hand, not minding at all. Instead, she said in a very familiar tone, "Chen Leying, it's nice to meet you. I'm Zhao Lan."
She had initially thought that Chen Leying was a soldier, just like her.
However, she could tell from their meeting that Chen Leying wasn't a soldier, but since she had kindly reminded other players about the newbie gift box, she must be a kind and helpful person.
"Zhao Lan?" Chen Leying's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I have no interest in getting to know you."
We're not on the same wavelength, there's no need for us to get to know each other.
After saying that, she went straight back to her SUV.
Since Meng Qingyin and Zhao Lan were only "online friends," they took the opportunity to return to the RV.
Zhao Lan wasn't disappointed; she understood that everyone in the survival world was wary.
The non-European originally wanted to go up and say hello, but remembering his earlier presumptuousness, he held back.
Zhao Lan returned to the car. The man in the passenger seat stared intently at the RV, muttering, "Impossible? How could she be here? This can't be..."
Isn't she a highway patrol officer? Why is she here?
No, they're probably just players who look similar.
Zhao Lan asked in confusion, "Who?"
The man snapped out of his daze and shook his head: "No, I must have seen wrong."
Zhao Lan: "Your injury has almost healed. After this event, you don't need to follow me anymore."
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in the man's eyes, but his tone remained completely gentle: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help these past few days. If you hadn't happened to pass by and saved me, I..."
Zhao Lan waved her hand: "We are all Chinese. No one else would have stood by and watched someone die. You don't need to worry about it."
The man sneered, "Wouldn't the others just stand by and watch me die?"
Isn't that woman in the SUV the one who refused to help someone in distress?
He will make Chen Leying pay the price!
With only three minutes left before the mission deadline, the last person arrived late.
The car stopped, and a masked man got out.
The black hood completely covered his head, with two holes cut out for his eyes, revealing his clear black and white eyes, which made him look somewhat wise.
As soon as the hooded man got out of the car, everyone heard 007's voice in their ears.
