Chapter 406: Chapter 104 The Complexity and Obscurity of Human Heart_3
She ended her contemplation, relaxed her brows, and continued to focus on orchestrating the bank raid.
The only noticeable action she took was to pull out her smart brain and display two sets of previously taken maps of Shanghai, looking at them as if nonchalantly.
“This spot.”
Link was quite satisfied with what he saw here, and decided to give the academy team a hand.
As the team leader, if his team couldn’t win the exchange study with Shadow City, it would certainly bring shame upon Link.
So he resorted to “telepathy,” whispering into Lanny’s ear in a hushed tone.
At the same time, he marked the location of the underground factory on the map.
The place was approximately 38 kilometers in a straight line from Shanghai Tower, quite a distance away.
It would take some time to get there.
But according to the rules of this exchange study, the academy team sweeping away those combat robots, An-225, Tu-160M, even if they couldn’t secure a sure win, their chances of winning would at least increase considerably.
Lanny’s hand, holding the smart brain, trembled slightly, but quickly calmed down.
She carefully examined the route between the two spots, resolved to scour the vault for high-value items, and then head directly to the place Wizard Grande had told her about.
If Wizard Grande had gone out of his way to inform her of this place, then it was assuredly no ordinary place.
Chances were, it could determine the outcome of this exchange study.
Just as Lanny had made this decision, Luna walked over and said, “Captain, the Shadow City Team’s second group has left that building and is heading our way at a high speed, ready for battle.”
Lanny decisively ordered, “Gather your team with Gillian, and prepare for a defensive counterattack.”
“Yes.”
Luna responded loudly and immediately turned to execute the order.
The first and second groups, at Luna’s call, quickly stopped what they were doing, preparing for reconnaissance as well as an attack.
The third and fourth groups, under the command of Gillian, especially the third group, shifted their tasks from scavenging to defensive counterattacks, taking advantage of the building’s surroundings and quickly constructing a solid defensive line.
Through the real-time images provided by the second group, Lanny found that the Shadow City Team’s goals were very clear – they were heading for the fifth basement level.
What’s going on?
How did they suddenly become so bold?
Did they think they had collected enough valuable goods and didn’t intend to continue collecting, but stir things up to upset the rhythm?
Or did they intend to launch a team wipeout directly?
Lanny bit her lip, well then, let’s just give up on collecting and jump into the fray.
The sooner the fight was over, the sooner they would get off work.
Link gave Peck a look, signaling him to be on alert.
Then he floated out of the underground building, went to the surface, and stopped Christina.
He used “telepathy,” whispering, “What’s going on over there? Are you guys giving up on gathering resources and deciding to fight directly?”
A snake-shaped black smoke appeared, outlining a sentence, “Someone noticed a change and took it as a hint that the task had entered the second stage, from limited gathering to unlimited chaos, so…”
Having read this, Link’s forehead was as if adorned with three black lines.
A hint for a phased change of focus in the task?
Can mental changes be interpreted this way?
What kind of thought process does one need to have to come to this conclusion?
After thinking a bit, Link still asked directly, “Doesn’t anyone have other opinions?”
Christina shook her head, her snake-like eyes confused, looking at Link. The black smoke outlined words, “What other opinion could there be?”
Emmm…
Link was speechless and bemused.
It turned out that on the Shadow City side, not only did the apprentices think this way, even Christina, the team leader and a First-Level Wizard, saw the sudden mental changes in this way.
Are the thought processes of all Shadow Series Wizards this unique?
Link didn’t understand; he was greatly taken aback.
“Never mind, as long as you guys are happy.”
Link too shook his head, he recounted with a bit of resignation.
The sooner they started fighting, the sooner the result, and the sooner this exchange study would be over. That would also work and was acceptable.
It was regrettable though, to have missed such a rare opportunity.
After all, Franda was still roaming around Shanghai in hopes of discovering unexplored historical records.
Link intuitively believed that this special ruin world was unlikely to be his homeland from the past world.
Even though many, many things here were eerily similar or even identical.
For various reasons, he wanted to learn about the history of this special ruin world.
Not for anything else, just to satisfy his curiosity.
It’s a pity that Franda, despite having copied so much knowledge earlier, had a glaring lack of history.
It seemed as if it had been wiped out completely.
