Chapter 1298: First mission

“Mission 1, capture Ji City Hongkan Freedom Army leader Meng Ao.”

“Mission 2, kill all the middle management and above leaders of Hongkan Freedom Army.”

“Mission 3, Get Angela Earrings back.”

“Mission 4, kill at least a thousand people from Hongkan Freedom Army and stack them into a corpse tower.”

“Completion reward four, obtain level one permission.”

“Completion reward three, obtain one unit of Keen Stone.”

“Completion reward two, obtain five hundred contribution points.”

“Completion reward one, obtain equipment upgrade scroll (blue).”

“If completion is zero, you will lose the right to be a spokesperson.”

“Completion level 25%, you will not get any reward.”

“Quest deadline, 20 days.”

On some day, the metal box that An Zhen handed to Ye Zhongming showed the above messages.

Who knew if this box was just a message transmitter or if it had other uses?

Talos Red Dwarves, after months of silence, finally gave Ye Zhongming his first mission.

As there were twenty days, Ye Zhongming didn’t react immediately. He continued developing the Secret Realm while sending people to scout the Hongkan Freedom Army.

While waiting for news, he used the resources he got to equip all Coud Peak warriors. Although it wasn’t a collective evolution and no purple equipment appeared, Cloud Peak obtained a small increase without making any huge commotion.

This stable period was one of the rare ones since Cloud Peak was formed. A bunch of people were itchy. They weren’t used to such a life. For example, Little Tiger and Young Master Yun who had asked Ye Zhongming many times to send them to fight, but they were rejected. He told them to find stable stones and even had conflicts with some factions. But they naturally returned safely and even brought another energy source for the formation.

But everyone felt that the boss knew something they didn’t. They strengthened their squads and made them train. They even dragged them into the Secret Realm to train.

Everyone felt that the boss was storing energy for something!

The core members felt that even more.

But they couldn’t bait it out of Ye Zhongming.

The business with Cannibal Chains and Five Ring Money also went well. Cloud Peak created wealth and tossed the wealth into the two labs.

The two labs also held their secrets. During these few months, none of them took anything out. This was not something Cloud Peak members were used to.

Logically speaking, they both became seven star evolved. Their energy and brains were at their peak. The two labs had many projects. So even if the tough ones had no progress, the easy ones should?

The core members naturally didn’t believe it and found this weird. They were sure that the boss was going to do something.

Ye Zhongming suppressed Cloud Peak’s warriors. With his strength, that was easy.

Ten days from the mission was when Ye Zhongming was going to head out, but he didn’t. He wasn’t stopped, but the news he should get didn’t arrive.

Finally, there was news on the second day, but the information shocked him.

The scouts all disappeared, and they had lost contact. Even Chameleon was the same.

What was going on?

Ye Zhongming wasn’t afraid. However, a faction that could force a universe race to take revenge would be slightly dangerous even for a level eight evolved.

When he was thinking about how to deal with it, Chameleon had a more detailed news. A member risked his life to send it out, and then he died.

The information was short, but there was some stuff.

For example, their position in Ji City was similar to Cloud Peak in Ying City. There were thirty thousand official members and had outer members several folds of that.

Their middle management consisted of people above captains, and there were over five hundred of them.

As for Angela Earrings and how strong Meng Ao was, there were no records.

So strong? Ye Zhongming frowned. He asked for Five Ring Money’s latest rankings.

He searched the leaderboard and saw that they were ranked 20th.

As compared to Cloud Peak’s third, the gap was huge.

But since such a faction could make a universe race attack them, things weren’t as simple as they were on the surface.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhongming chose to complete it.

There were many things he didn’t know and wanted to know. But he didn’t want to lose his identity as spokesperson for a faction that didn’t fit into the three groups.

Ye Zhongming headed out secretly. He didn’t bring Yangos as the dragon was too obvious. He didn’t want outsiders to know. He didn’t bring Red Hair as sixth wing was near YIng City. Even if both sides were working together and this fellow was well-behaved during these few months, they still had to be wary.

He only brought Yellow Ball and Xia Bai’s battle squad.

He wasn’t there to start a war, so he felt this was enough. He could also ensure secrecy.

Through the Meditation Bone Platform, he teleported to an intel station nearby. After meeting the person in charge, he disappeared into the night.

…………………………………………………………………………

Ji City was in a mountainous region. It wasn’t big and was built in a valley. A river split the middle into two, and two administrative regions were then called Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Before the apocalypse, this was a fourth-tier city with a million people.

There was only one path to enter Ji City from their direction. As it was in a valley, the Hongkan Freedom Army blew it up, and there was only a few dozen meters gap that they could pass through.

Ye Zhongming stood in the distance and recalled what the person in charge of the Chameleon station told him. He batted his eyelid and tapped Yellow Ball’s body before walking in.
