Chapter 692: Ambushed
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Langdon frowned.
Han Sheng’s analysis was not without reason.
But…
Langdon had always been careful and prudent.
If the vampires set up an ambush in the building, it could lead to the annihilation of the entire army if they were not careful.
Seeing that Langdon was still hesitating, Han Sheng said, “Commander Langdon, if we continue to delay, we will only fall into the enemy’s trap.”
“How about this? I am willing to bring my men into the building of vampires to investigate and gather information for you. Even if I am ambushed by the enemy and die, we Inhumans have a special way to inform the commander of the internal situation of the building.”
Langdon thought for a while and nodded. “Okay, I will leave it to you, Han Sheng.”
Then, Langdon looked to the side and said, “Rhode, go in with them. If you encounter any danger, leave the building immediately.”
“Yes!”
Seeing Langdon agree, Han Sheng was delighted.
He was sure that the interior of the vampires’ building was empty. When the time came, he could complete the reconnaissance mission and occupy the entire vampires’ central building. He could destroy the teleportation passage in the vampires’ building and complete the main mission branch, earning a huge wave of mission rewards and contribution points.
A free reward!
Awesome!
[Hint: Player has triggered a side mission-explore the building of vampires.]
Mission requirements: Explore the building of vampires.
Mission difficulty: ???
Mission reward: Main mission contribution points, survival points.
Huh?
Seeing the game hint that refreshed in his retina, Han Sheng’s heart skipped a beat. He put away the joy in his heart.
Unknown mission difficulty?
This meant that the mission difficulty was extremely unstable due to player’s interference.
Tsk.
After thinking about it carefully, Han Sheng suddenly understood.
No wonder there was no defense put up. It was because of the players.
He knew that he could not keep up with real power, so he could only play some tricks…
Han Sheng was disdainful.
So what if he was a player?!
“Let’s go.”
With two teams of holy cast knights and a player team, Han Sheng led a team of more than 30 people toward the inner part of the campus.
“Let’s follow.”
Langdon immediately gave the order and led the rear team to follow Han Sheng’s team.
When they arrived at the inner and outer periphery of the campus, Langdon signaled the team to spread out their vigilance and that they could rush into the building to provide support at any time.
Soon, Han Sheng led the team to the entrance of the hall of the central building of the vampires.
The door was unlocked.
Two holy cast knights walked forward, pushed the door open, and carefully walked into the central building of the city of vampires.
The hall was very dark.
The crowd filed in.
The holy cast knights emitted a faint holy light, illuminating the surroundings.
“Confirm safety.”
The hall on the ground floor was empty, and not a single person could be seen.
He raised his head and looked into the sky. There was a square-shaped corridor. The middle part was empty, and the top part led directly to the outside world.
How could there be an ambush? It was indeed an empty fort strategy!
Han Sheng was pleased with himself. He quickly exchanged glances with his team leader, Rhode.
Both of them nodded at the same time.
“Be careful. Explore the first floor.”
Leaving a small team of holy cast knights to guard the central hall, the rest of the holy cast knights searched the first floor of the hall.
“Team 1 has completed their investigation and found the stairway. The elevator has stopped supplying power and is unable to be used.”
“Team 2 has completed their investigation and found no anomaly.”
“Team 3…”
Soon, the holy cast knights gathered in the hall once again after completing their scouting on the first floor.
Other than the two stairways on the left and right sides, the rest of the elevator and other passages could no longer be used.
A hint appeared in the game.
[Hint: Your scouting mission has been partially completed. You can continue to expand the scouting area and increase the completion rate of the mission. You can also immediately return and submit the mission to Commander Langdon.]
The regional scouting mission had been partially completed. He could now return and report it.
However…
A sense of greed rose in Han Sheng’s heart. He glanced at the main mission on him.
Of course, he had to find the vampires’ teleportation array directly and destroy the teleportation array to earn a bigger reward!
The temptation was big and the risk was small enough!
There was no reason to stop now!
Before coming here, Han Sheng had conducted some basic investigations.
The vampires’ teleportation passage was built on the third floor of the underground area.
“Continue. We’ll go underground to investigate.”
“Captain Han Sheng,” Rhode walked to Han Sheng’s side and whispered into his ear, “Something’s strange. I sensed it when we entered the hall. There’s a very weak undead aura here.”
Undead aura? What the hell was that?
Han Sheng frowned.
He felt that Rhode must have made a mistake somewhere.
Vampire Apocalypse?
Haunting of the undead?
Was this some kind of advanced game?
“Are you mistaken?”
“No, the Holy Court is very sensitive to the undead aura. I’m sure there are traces of undead lingering here. I suspect it’s a trap.”
“Alright, keep your guard up. Let’s continue to take a look. If there are any undead, we have to investigate thoroughly.”
“Okay.”
After giving the order to the team to be vigilant and investigate, Han Sheng followed the team to the stairs of the basement.
In the distance, on the fourth floor of the hall, a few pairs of eyes were secretly sizing up Han Sheng’s team.
Sandy scratched his hair and looked at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng also rubbed his neck, feeling a little surprised.
This group of people was a little awkward.
Speaking of being cautious, the other party was indeed very cautious. First, they sent a group of scouts to investigate the building, but they did not charge in blindly.
They were really reckless.
The scout team headed directly towards the underground passage.
Zhao Nan, who was beside them, also subconsciously became nervous. She asked, “They are heading towards the underground passage. What should we do?”
“Let’s do it this way. Leave it to me.”
“Just nice, I’ll take this wave of reputation points.”
Fang Heng thought as he raised his palm.
The Lickers that were entrenched near the third floor spread out one after another and quickly disappeared into the shadows.
…
In the second basement, Han Sheng was at the front of the team that was carrying out the investigation. He was carefully watching his surroundings.
Chi Chi Chi…
Huh?
What was that sound?
Han Sheng suddenly became alert.
Was it coming from the ceiling?
He subconsciously raised his head and looked up.
“Bang!!”
With a loud sound, the vent above was pushed open with a bang.
Then, a dark brown shadow pounced on him!
What was that?!
Han Sheng’s pupils suddenly enlarged several times! A distorted and terrifying creature was reflected in his eyes.
This was the first time Han Sheng had seen such a disgusting creature with his own eyes.
A name appeared in his mind.
Licker?!
Han Sheng was shocked and quickly dodged!
“Clack!”
The Licker landed on the ground and jumped straight at Han Sheng. Its speed was shockingly fast!
“Chi!”
The sharp claws tore a huge wound on Han Sheng’s chest!
The Licker pressed Han Sheng under its body and raised its claws high again.
“Bang Bang!! Bang Bang!!”
The surrounding players reacted immediately. They hurriedly raised their handguns, aimed at the Licker and pulled the trigger.
