Chapter 1978: Chapter 1978: One Trap After Another
After eting near the laboratory, Xu Huo asked carefully about how Qiaoqiao was captured.
Initially, Qiaoqiao didn’t care much about it, thinking he was just lucky this ti to be able to escape after falling into soone’s hands. However, as Xu Huo questioned him further about so details, he gradually ca to realize sothing, "So you an, among the people who were captured with , there might be soone from the Resistance Army?"
"What is their purpose in infiltrating the base and causing chaos? To capture the psychotherapist?"
"Not necessarily," Lao Zhou said at this point, "Capturing people is indeed possible, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility of inserting soone inside. Otherwise, why didn’t they kill all the therapists? That would give Agor Corporation so trouble."
Lin Cao also nodded and turned to Xu Huo, "Why do you think the Resistance Army is capturing psychotherapists?"
Xu Huo didn’t fully disclose his previous experiences but said, "Maybe, like us, they want to get Agor’s secrets from the therapists."
"But that’s a bit roundabout for us. Now all the therapists are protected by Agor’s players. Even if we suspect that the Resistance Army has planted soone inside, we don’t know exactly who, not to ntion that tracking the company’s players is no easy task. On the other hand, here."
He pointed with his chin towards the laboratory, "The Resistance Army is watching this place. Earlier, the bait from the trading company was taken by Outer Zone players, maybe this area, like the dical base, is extrely important."
Following the itinerary provided by the Resistance Army, Xu Huo went to the dical base, while Lin Cao and Lao Zhou tracked Qiaoqiao there. Normally, if what Qiaoqiao saw was true, then the surgical experints on players probably took place at the dical base, where Eastern District players’ secrets are most likely hidden. However, the base is now definitely inaccessible, and after the previous attack, the truly important things have likely been moved away.
Xu Huo didn’t say that the Resistance Army was targeting Zheng Yuci; for Outer Zone players, knowing about "White Blood" was enough. From his analysis, it might even hit the mark unexpectedly.
Eggs can’t be placed in one basket, especially for a tech company like Agor, which can make players stronger through any thod or dication. That’s their basis for attracting more players and controlling them, and it’s certainly not the only one. Even as backups, there have to be more than a few.
The group reached a consensus, so they waited outside the laboratory.
From nightfall to deep into the night until two o’clock, six batches of aircraft took off from the front and back of the laboratory, and each batch had the sa model and specifications. After taking off, they headed in different directions.
Honestly, in such a situation, unless there is certainty in interfering with the aircraft or directly shooting it down, it’s impossible to intercept them—in fact, no one stopped these batches of aircraft; they all left the laboratory safely.
Just when they thought there might be no results today, the Resistance Army mbers stationed in the store made a move. They followed a low-hovering aircraft.
The low-flying aircraft had also appeared among the previous aircraft batches, due to different arranged routes and destinations. Following the ground path was more convenient, but this ti, the Resistance Army decided to follow.
Xu Huo and the others exchanged glances and followed behind.
When the aircraft passed by a park, it suddenly encountered an unknown interference. Several aircraft suddenly fell to the ground, and before the accompanying Eastern District players could get out, several blockade barriers had already locked the aircraft individually. Then, player after player erged from underneath the grass, taking those aircraft apart using props—they truly dismantled them into pieces. Their purpose was firstly the contents of the aircraft and secondly the players inside. So, once they took action, they used all the props and instrunts prepared in advance. Targeting Eastern District players’ characteristics, they prepared special items, seemingly aid at the anti-interference instrunt implanted in their brains. However, surprisingly, there was no one inside the opened aircraft!
It was the sa for all the aircraft, which made the Resistance Army mbers who intervened realize sothing was terribly wrong. Imdiately, they dismantled the boxes inside the aircraft, and upon discovering they were all empty, their faces changed drastically, and they called for their companions to prepare for retreat.
Unfortunately, leaving wasn’t easy. The damaged aircraft suddenly emitted a vibration, and then a low, earthquake-like rumble resounded from all directions. Instantly, all the Resistance Army mbers in the park showed painful expressions, and even one or two had blood coming from their ears!
"What is this sound?" Qiaoqiao and the group were shocked. To guard against the Eastern District players’ Vibration Interferoter, even Outer Zone players had to wear anti-interference devices in their ears. Since the Resistance Army dared to co, they must have made ample preparations in advance, so at least sonic interference shouldn’t work anymore. But they didn’t expect the Eastern District to have another trick up their sleeve; the instrunt used this ti affected a wider range with more intensity, even Xu Huo and the others who were so distance away from the park felt dizzy.
"Wait, am I hallucinating or is it real? Why do I feel the ground moving?" Qiaoqiao held his head and said.
Lao Zhou imdiately squatted down and did a preliminary check using a prop, "The vibration is indeed coming from underground, but it’s not an earthquake; it’s so regular that it should be an instrunt."
"No wonder the instrunt worn by the Eastern District players is called a Vibration Interferoter; that’s what it ans," Lin Cao said, "When I first ca, I took so Interference Devices to study, and found there wasn’t any technical content in them. The excellent effect was truly unexpected; I didn’t realize the real source was underground. They should have buried corresponding instrunts underground first, and the interference device worn by people on the ground can actually control the switch of underground instrunts in small ranges. By turning on the switch, it can indistinguishably affect ordinary people and players."
"That’s the theory, but the instrunts buried underground are hard to destroy." Qiaoqiao glanced again toward the park.
Undoubtedly, this was a trap set for the Resistance Army alone. After interfering and preventing the Resistance Army mbers from escaping, the Eastern District players who had been lying in ambush finally erged. With three tis the number of Resistance Army mbers, they completely sealed off the park, launching an overwhelming slaughter—they had no intention of capturing them alive this ti.
Moreover, to utterly sever the Resistance Army players’ chances of escape, four Eastern District players raised a layer of mbrane-like thing from the outermost edge of the battlefield.
Because they were standing quite far, it was particularly conspicuous. And as that layer of mbrane-like thing was raised, it invisibly covered all players present with a bubble-like shell. Strangely, when the players’ bodies were gradually wrapped by the mbrane, although they could still move freely, in the eyes of observers, their every movent beca exceptionally sluggish.
