Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Waiting for the Opportunity

"I haven’t said anything!" Dong Jingxuan blurted out, but after being silently stared at by Xu Huo, he could not speak any further.

His psychological quality wasn’t particularly strong, and even if it were, it’s easy to slip up in front of players; the more he spoke, the more mistakes he could make, so he consciously shut his mouth.

"Dong Family Manor is now inaccessible, do you know of any other potential experimental bases, or other entrances?" Xu Huo pondered for a moment before asking.

"What are you looking for these places for?" Dong Jingxuan was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Although you’re quite capable, you definitely can’t enter the laboratory. Besides players, there are also advanced disturbance devices in the laboratory. Many of your props won’t work once you enter."

Without the use of props, players are merely Evolvers who are faster and more agile, which is sufficient to deal with high firepower suppression.

"Moreover, the equipment in those places is not like the ordinary devices used in government buildings or other important places. You might think of a way to sabotage those devices in advance, but the laboratory’s devices are fully enclosed. They only open the walls for inspections when major issues arise. Not to mention it’s hard for you to get close, even if you did, it would be impossible to damage the devices without being discovered."

"The use of props can be affected by distance and obstacles, but special devices won’t be."

Xu Huo silently listened before eventually speaking, "Are the laboratories generally metal constructions?"

On hearing this, Dong Jingxuan revealed a look of ’just as I thought,’ "You didn’t understand what I meant. Don’t mention Rank-C or Rank-B players, even Rank-A players might not be effective there!"

Xu Huo patted his shoulder, "I’m just trying to confirm if these places exist, I don’t plan on doing anything else. I just want to ask you for a specific location."

Dong Jingxuan looked at him, "I don’t have a choice, do I?"

Xu Huo opened the communicator and pulled up a three-dimensional map of Snow City, "Just point me to a place."

Seeing his hesitation, Xu Huo added, "I need the correct address."

Dong Jingxuan momentarily dismissed any other thoughts and honestly pointed out a place.

The location was not in the Dong Family, but the ground building was marked as a property of some clan, likely similar to another family like the Dong Family.

Xu Huo nodded, tucking away the map, ready to leave.

"The matter about the transmission channel should be unrelated to our Dong Family." Dong Jingxuan hurriedly added, "Actually, the internal factions of Snow City are not united. It might be other families trying to use this opportunity to change the family power structure."

Xu Huo turned to look at him, "Why were you at tomorrow’s venue?"

If District 002 truly had intentions of directly invading other new districts, it would have to be with the consent of the vast majority of forces; there wouldn’t be a situation of two sides confronting each other.

Dong Jingxuan was left speechless.

After leaving the shelter, Xu Huo spoke to Chi Minghong alone, "I need to make a trip to Snow City."

"Is it related to the information you’ve been looking for?" Chi Minghong had also glanced through some of it. The specific details were unclear to her, but she understood the part about children being used in experiments, "Is District 002 also experimenting on children?"

She didn’t dissuade Xu Huo from going headlong into danger; Xu Huo wasn’t targeting the instance of District 002; he must have another purpose.

"Can you gain any advantage from this?" she asked.

Xu Huo glanced at her, "It’s difficult to gain advantages, and might even cost us our lives."

Chi Minghong hissed in acknowledgment then burst into hearty laughter, "I love these kind of tough challenges. Just wait, I’ll go with you! I’ve hated this damned place for a while; stirring up some trouble before leaving seems good too!"

The two reached an agreement, and Chi Minghong made arrangements for Lu Qing before preparing to leave with Xu Huo.

"Are you just going to leave like this?" Wei Chengzhang couldn’t help but speak up, "There are so many people here, and only one player..."

Xu Huo turned to look at him, "You don’t have to stay here either; you can come with me."

Wei Chengzhang immediately fell silent.

Xu Huo and Chi Minghong exchanged glances, then both used speed-increasing props to leave the woods.

The woods outside Snow White Villa were still some distance from the main urban area. Spatial Artifacts were restricted, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, they didn’t teleport directly into the city.

"Currently, you can barely see ordinary people or Outer District People in the city; everyone you see on the streets are players from Snow City, some from the government, others from different families." Having chosen an open landing spot, Chi Minghong used a Muffler Artefact to inform Xu Huo of the situation within the city, "Those in deep blue uniforms with Silver Badges on their shoulders are government players, others wearing Golden Badges are players recognized by the government under family affiliations... Unfortunately, the appearance of District 002 players is distinctive, even accessorizing a one-to-one disguise takes a lot of time, otherwise grabbing one of their uniforms could have gotten us directly past."

The security in District 002 was much more rigorous than Xu Huo anticipated. Robots connected to the network were everywhere on the streets; they could detect the amount of props within a certain range. If the prop’s marked location didn’t overlap with the positioning signals of District 002 players, it would trigger alarms and nearby players would quickly encircle them.

These robots were capable of covering most of the city.

"Flying might be an option too," Chi Minghong pointed upwards, "But my prop won’t last the distance, and there’s a chance players could detect it. The place you need to go to is a core industry building; there might be many Advanced Players around."

Whether storming in or sneaking seemed unfeasible.

At this moment, the best strategy would be to create a diversion, someone to draw the fire, giving them a chance to blend in.

"Let’s get one thing straight first, I’m not acting as bait," Chi Minghong said. "Not that I’m scared, but I reckon I wouldn’t last two minutes outside before getting caught, which wouldn’t help at all."

Xu Huo nodded; not just Chi Minghong, even he couldn’t attract attention under this kind of security.

"Let’s wait and see if there’s an opportunity." He said. The matter with the Holy Sword Society hadn’t been resolved yet. If a fight broke out nearby, that would be even better. If not, they’d wait until tonight’s events concluded, after which the players within Snow City would naturally disperse and that would probably be the most relaxed moment.

However, external relaxation didn’t mean internal relaxation; he still had no clear information about the laboratory. If the personnel were called back for defense, then Snow City returning to normal wouldn’t be of any significance to him.

"A car is coming." Chi Minghong looked towards one side of the city.

Xu Huo followed her gaze and noticed a convoy of five vehicles heading towards the city center.

"Something’s not right," Chi Minghong crouched at the edge of the rooftop to look out, "These cars seem to be heading to Chen He Pharmacy."

That pharmacy was the place Dong Jingxuan had pointed out.

"That guy isn’t being honest," Chi Minghong turned to Xu Huo, "If someone’s leaking information behind the scenes, then it’ll be even harder to get in."

"It doesn’t matter if we can’t get in." Xu Huo said. "This is also an opportunity for us. Let’s go to the Water Supply Bureau first."
