Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 702 - 523 Turmoil

According to the clues provided by the players, the operation of Wen Jie's "Doctor" battle guild was also tonight.

The night is naturally the perfect camouflage for all operations in the dark, even though The Lower City never sees daylight. Yet the city, still preserving this human habit, always dims the lights everywhere at a set time.

This habit, ingrained in human biological clocks, undoubtedly serves as the best opportunity for those underground forces that prefer to operate in darkness.

Meanwhile, according to feedback from experiences, Wen Jie had already mastered at least Level 3 knowledge — Biological Main Brain Theory.

It was unknown what kind of surprise this battle guild had meticulously prepared for the city, so much so that even technology not yet operational at the Scientific Research Institute had been adopted by them first.

Changing into an unremarkable outfit, Bai E left the camp.

Having a legitimate identity from the Elder Council, coming and going through the city gates at any time was no longer an issue for Bai E.

He wanted to see up close what kind of disturbance this battle guild, appointed by the nobles, could cause and what kind of response it would trigger in the city.

After all, this might be the experience he could use himself before long.

The underground of the city was often shrouded in a thin mist, with gigantic mechanical structures ensuring the operation of this massive urban body.

The city was somewhat restless at night. Wrapped in a trench coat, Bai E walked down the steel avenue filled with the smell of engine oil, with seemingly only the echo of his own heels clicking against the ground.

Sporadic figures were occasionally seen on the road, but in the bleak atmosphere, their steps were particularly brisk.

The place Bai E arrived at was a necessary passageway from The Lower City to the Middle-Upper City District.

Of course, the city was large and there were many such passageways, but in the intelligence reports, they talked about initiating an attack from this C13 entrance.

Having arrived nearby, Bai E's increasingly acute senses easily made him aware of several figures who were different from the usual passersby.

No... or rather, it was not just the senses, but a kind of intuition linked to Spiritual Energy.

Because of this intuition, Bai E easily identified those players among the passersby, who stood out from others.

After mingling in this game world for so long, they had already learned the ability to blend themselves perfectly into their environment.

If it was just a regular routine inspection, it was unlikely that these disguised and infiltrated players would be noticed.

Realizing this, Bai E nodded in satisfaction.

They had indeed arrived first. The players were reliable when it came to tasks.

As the time drew near, Bai E quietly approached a figure huddled in a corner.

"When did you guys get here?"

The sudden voice by his ear startled Dai Lian, but his solid composure prevented him from showing any hint of surprise.

With just a shiver in his heart and realizing it was the voice of the superior, he respectfully responded, "We just got here not long ago. Prowling around nearby could attract the attention of the vigilant, so we've tried once before."

"Hmm," Bai E nodded, "Being cautious is good. Having approached early, did you find any more relevant clues?"

"We... we've lost contact with our insider recently, so we only have some peripheral intelligence at the moment," Dai Lian carefully chose his words, feeling somewhat relieved that Bai E had approached him first.

This large-scale battle campaign's precursor mission definitely had a lot of variables, and depending on the information supplied by him, it could lead to different development paths.

Of course, the overall trend might remain the same, but the differences in the stories that individual players could participate in and the benefits they could gain were substantial.

If possible, he naturally wanted to watch the entire event unfold and easily reap the rewards.

Sure enough, the superior showed a hint of interest, "What information?"

"We've investigated. The city's entrances that separate The Lower City from the Middle-Upper City District are closed every night at about 10 o'clock. Once sealed, brute force or external strength can't open them. Besides waiting for the opening command from the central control at eight o'clock the next morning, there's no way to open it, and if it's tampered with, it will immediately cut off the circuit, including the mechanical equipment, and fall down. It's an insurmountable barrier. If that battle guild really intends to act, they must choose a time before 10 o'clock. The closer it gets to 10 o'clock, the lower the vigilance of the guards."

Thinking about the end of their shift, although people are still on duty, their minds have long flown away.

"Hmm," Bai E and Dai Lian waited quietly in the corner.

"Tick-tock~"

"Tick-tock~"

The patrolling guards had already passed by their corner several times, but under Bai E's increasingly proficient Spiritual Energy techniques, ordinary patrolling guards could not possibly detect the two concealed figures.

"It's time, it's time!"

"Time to knock off, time to knock off!"

"Finally knocking off... Dealing with those security patrols all day has exhausted me to death!"

As the guard leader in the control room, amid a myriad of tedious procedures, unlocked a red switch and, placing his hand on the lever, prepared to forcefully pull it down...

An unexpected turn of events occurred!

Several rockets with orange tails suddenly blasted on the guard booth by the road from The Lower City's direction.
