Chapter 665: Behind the Scenes Deep Meaning

arrival of the mother-in-law relieved Wan Guifen's burden of caring for her children, it also increased the family's expenses. Wu Yong's mother was a very shrewd old lady. She openly told the neighbor...Once Wanli confirmed that the Carter Squad had taken on this mission, he immediately began to rapidly prepare the accompanying personnel. After all, it was impossible for just their six people to venture into the Black Melting Insect swarm. They needed other manpower to assist them in completing the mission. Once they entered the breached research institute, it would be up to them to prove their worth.

Carter's team was politely sent to a temporary resting place, but instead of returning to their rooms, they all gathered in Carter's room and turned their gazes toward Ripple.

Carter hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Miss Ripples, this mission isn't simple. As for the equipment Wanli mentioned, we've never heard of it before either. We don't even know if such a thing exists or what it can do."

"I never intended to use that thing."

Ripples said nonchalantly.

"What You agreed so readily! Aren't we going to our deaths!"

William was the first to jump up.

"Please, your brain is a good thing, remember to use it when you need to."

"From the moment we entered this so-called underground base, haven't you noticed that it wasn't an official base at all"

The ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I can see that this is a private base, and just as Wan Li said, it's an underground research institute."

Carter's statement confirmed Ripple's analysis.

"What kind of research institute would need to be built underground, hidden away like this It takes more than just money to build such an institute."

The ripples continued to question.

"So you're saying this research facility existed before the zerg invasion, and they were working on something really shady, something dangerous The fact that it's underground means they were probably funded by a private organization or corporation. They wouldn't have to follow any rules."

"Yes."

"It's probably because we wiped out that swarm of black insects that they discovered we have a space-ability user on our team, so they proactively recruited us. When we entered the base, whether we agreed or not, they had a way to get us to accept the mission."

Carter concluded finally.

"Damn it! I should have known better than to come here!"

William angrily cursed at someone.

"It's too late to say anything now. This is their turf, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Even if we know they have bad intentions, we shouldn't show it."

Carter glanced at William and said faintly, the other three didn't react too much. They always followed the captain's orders.

Miss Ripple was planning to take the mission and then go to Q City, trying to get away from their people

Carter asked Ripples directly.

"Yes, that acoustic weapon they have at the Q City Institute must be important; otherwise, they wouldn't risk so much to calculate us outsiders."

They know we don't belong here!

"What then Have you seen any survivors here with superpowers At most, their physical fitness has improved, and they mostly use thermal weapons."

But we're different, we have hacks! They're not just after us, they're also going after other players. The squad I was riding with, they looked like a team that's grinding for objectives.

They are newcomers, hoping to leverage the base's strength to accomplish their mission. At the same time, the base intends to utilize them to eliminate as many dangerous insectoids as possible. Both parties have their own objectives.

Ripples spread his hands.

"If that's the case, then that weapon must belong to us."

William said domineeringly.

But this time, the ripple didn't object and nodded in agreement.

"After the researchers rescued them, I was going to take them to an official base. The weapons would be our reward."

Six people reached a consensus, and Ripple was very generous in giving each person 100,000 points, which surprised the Carter team quite a bit.

"I took on the mission without discussing it with you all. Although I was forced to do so, it wasn't appropriate. After all, we are a team. These points are yours as compensation, or perhaps consolation. I hope that during the mission, everyone can cooperate."

Ripples smiled and said.

She knew deep down that even though she had been steadily accumulating points, she couldn't exchange them for anything. The game store was simply not open to her. What she had now, besides what was in her own space, were the pieces of equipment dropped by the few players she had eliminated.

Since integration doesn't work for her here, let's give it to those who can use it. Upgrading their equipment will help her continue her operations and appease these people. Why not do that

As expected, the expressions on the five people's faces softened considerably as soon as they heard the ripple giving them their score notification. William even boasted with a hint of flattery:

"Either my eyesight is good, or I got to it first and found such a great teammate for us."

After accepting, he clicked quickly, pocketing the 100,000 points. He had his eye on a Gatling gun for a long time but couldn't afford it until now. With this, he felt more confident in completing the mission.

After the task was clearly defined, the six people all returned to their rooms to rest. After a good night's sleep and breakfast prepared by the base, they boarded the arranged vehicles.

Before boarding the vehicle, Lin Shang personally handed a portable box to Ripple. He said this was an instrument that could expand and conceal space. Ripple happily accepted it but did not put it into her spatial storage.

When they were about to set off, they realized that the cowboy and his group were also in the team. The other party was also a little surprised. How could this female demon have taken the same mission

Get in the car quickly, don't waste time, hurry to Q City. It will take at least three days at the fastest.

The leader called out, prompting everyone participating in the mission to get into the vehicle quickly.

Ripple briefed the six of them from inside their SUV. Carter was driving, while Ripple sat beside him, outlining the mission plan.

"We've been here for two days now, wiping out a swarm of black mosquitoes. Our squad's mission is almost complete. We definitely have enough time to earn some more points in the next five days. So that Black Fusion Swarm is mine. I'm going to wipe it out and turn them all into points."

"Miss Ripple, you are so confident."

William couldn't hold back and retorted.

Of course, strength is the source of confidence.

Ripples passed through the rearview mirror, glanced at William, and successfully made him shut up.

After half a day, once the convoy left the underground base's range, they began encountering attacks from insectoids. Bugs of all sizes, like sharks that smelled blood, started relentlessly biting at the convoy.

At this point, the base's plan went into effect. A convoy in the front stopped to eliminate the bugs, while the convoy behind them avoided the battlefield and quickly advanced, trying their best to escape the pursuit of the bugs.

Along the way, the convoy of hundreds of vehicles dwindled to sixteen by the end. They finally arrived in City Q at noon on the third day.

At first glance, Ripples noticed that almost all sixteen vehicles were filled with gamers. Although they weren't familiar with each other, everyone knew each other's player identities. Two captains came to talk to Carter and wanted to form an alliance with them, including the squad led by the cowboy man.ht now.”The ripples of refusal were clear and unambiguous, demonstrating that she was definitely not someone who would take advantage of small favors.As for what the other party said, there might be a...
