Bab 14: Chapter 14 Main Mission Changes
"I originally thought that this world was just an ordinary technological world, but I didn't expect that there are those kinds of things..."
Even after thinking about the terrifying scene they witnessed today, Zhou Ming and Yang Zhisheng still felt uneasy.
"This big explosion has really brought out too many things!"
"The Chronos organization self-destructed their base, all the top leaders disappeared, nearly a hundred people died or were injured, and even demons appeared!"
"It even changed our main mission. This world is much deeper than we thought!"
Yang Zhisheng and Yu Man sighed in unison, while Zhou Ming could only smile wryly on the side.
[The Main Mission has been changed.]
[Eliminate the remnants of the Chronos organization. For every one of the nine top leaders eliminated, gain 500 reward points. For every person not dead upon return, deduct 500 reward points. Current progress: 1/9.]
[Triggered side mission: World of Gods and Demons!]
[Acquire the Pen of Destiny, Horn of the Demon, and Stone of Death. Upon completion of the mission, gain 3000 reward points for each item acquired and have a chance to trigger follow-up missions. If no item is acquired upon completion, deduct 5000 reward points!]
[Acquiring all three extraordinary items will definitely trigger the follow-up mission: Prelude of Gods and Demons.]
[Due to the difficulty of the mission exceeding the difficulty of this world mission, temporary special buff has been granted: Eye of the World. Can view the location of any mission target once per hour, regardless of character. All reincarnators share the cooldown time of this buff.]
This is Yang Zhisheng and Yu Man's mission list, which has nothing to do with Zhou Ming. His mission has remained unchanged from start to finish.
The change in the two's missions also meant that Zhou Ming had lost the possibility of continuing to follow them.
Because in the past few hours, Yang Zhisheng and Yu Man had already used the Eye of the World buff multiple times to determine the locations of several mission targets.
Among the three extraordinary items, the Pen of Destiny and the Stone of Death are located together in the Gersa Desert, which is thousands of miles away in the Yanzhou region.
The Gersa Desert is equivalent to the Sahara Desert on Earth in Zhou Ming's previous life, and it is the largest desert in this world.
As for the Devil's Horn, it is rapidly moving, with several high-level members of the Chronos organization who have also been investigated using the Eye of the World. Their destination is also the Gersa Desert.
Based on information obtained from interrogating assassins earlier, a reliable guess about the location of the Council organization's headquarters in the outside world is the Gersa Desert.
This makes the situation much clearer.
The Chronos organization's high-level members are bringing extraordinary items to the Council organization's headquarters and plan to fully integrate into the organization.
If Yang Zhisheng and Yu Man want to complete their mission, they must go to the Gersa Desert and take on the Council organization's headquarters, which is as dangerous as a dragon's den.
Even for two experienced people like them, such an action is a matter of life and death, so they will not act recklessly.
They must heal their injuries and restore themselves to their peak state before starting the operation.
The senior members have 30 days to complete their mission, giving them plenty of time to recover.
However, Zhou Ming only has 10 days, and he cannot waste the last few days here with the two slowly recovering. He will not be able to catch up with their actions.
This time, he is not participating in the mission with the two senior members, because it is not his main task, there is no specific data displayed by the main god here, so Zhou Ming cannot be sure how much he will gain.
-------------------
In order to expand his earnings, he could only rush back to Homer Island to continue participating in his main mission, as there were only five days left.
"It's really difficult!" Zhou Ming sighed.
He is currently on the wanted list, unable to take a plane, and cannot go to crowded places. How to return to Homer Island is a problem.
On the sixth day since coming to this world, it was a day of recuperation.
The Grassroots Gu was only a rank 1 Gu, with limited healing abilities that could not heal Zhou Ming's gunshot wounds, internal injuries, bone fractures, or other injuries.
Fortunately, there is also Yu Man's healing ninjutsu and various medicines brought by two senior players from the main god space.
In just one day, Zhou Ming went from a severely wounded half-cripple to a pale-faced, healed patient, completely able to engage in normal activities.
However, his combat power inevitably decreased. It was fine against ordinary people, even if he could only use one hand to shoot a gun, but it would be more dangerous if he encountered a killer at the level of Chronos.
On the seventh day, Zhou Ming boarded a smuggled ship.
The ship was found by Yu Man from a local snakehead, and with the dual attacks of money and force, Zhou Ming successfully boarded the ship and left Sha'ao Country.
Eighteen hours later, Zhou Ming returned to Homer Island safely and without incident. This was already the eighth day, and there were still two days left until the mission was over.
Two hours later, Zhou Ming walked into the lobby of the Summer Coast Hotel.
The wanted order of the Sha'ao Kingdom did not reach here, so Zhou Ming did not need to be secretive and walked in openly without attracting any extra attention.
Then, Zhou Ming went straight to the seventh floor by elevator and knocked on the door of Room 705.
Room 705 belonged to He Yunxiao, who was also a newcomer like him, while Zhou Ming's room was 704.
Before coming back, Zhou Ming had already contacted He Yunxiao and learned about their experiences in the past few days.
In summary, it was miserable!
The departure of the two senior experts severely undermined the sense of security of the three people who had not yet completed their mindset transformation. They gradually developed anxiety, making them always in a state of unease, sometimes worrying about Adele being assassinated, and sometimes worrying about being killed by a killer themselves. They couldn't sleep or eat well and were on the verge of a mental breakdown.
This situation lasted until the day before yesterday, when the assassin launched another attack on Adele. The three of them mustered all their courage to fight back, but the result was that Zhang Changlin was seriously injured, He Yunxiao was lightly injured, and only Zhao Ting didn't dare to fight out of fear, and as a result, she was unscathed.
The assassin, on the other hand, was also injured and retreated under the joint efforts of Zhang Changlin and He Yunxiao, and didn't appear all day yesterday.
In order to take care of the injured two, Zhao Ting had to give up monitoring Adele. Fortunately, the assassin did not continue to take action, otherwise, their main mission would have failed by now.
Looking at He Yunxiao's arm which was bandaged, and his face somewhat pale, Zhou Ming could only comfort him with a few words, and then asked about Zhang Changlin's condition. After learning that he was in the hospital and no longer in danger, he didn't inquire any further.
In the end, he really had no friendship with the three of them, and naturally couldn't show much concern for them.
"There are still more than two days left. I'll protect Adele during these two days. You rest well."
Leaving this sentence behind, Zhou Ming left He Yunxiao's room and went upstairs.
Adele's room was the presidential suite, located on the top floor of the hotel.
Zhou Ming took the elevator up and saw two tall and burly bodyguards standing at Adele's door in the corridor. Before he could approach, the two pairs of eyes stared straight at him.
These two bodyguards were the two of the four bodyguards who protected Adele when Zhou Ming first arrived in this world and saw her on the beach.
Their memory was pretty good. They remembered Zhou Ming after seeing him only once, but they still didn't let him approach and raised their hands to stop him at the door.
"Aren't you protecting Miss Adele secretly? What are you doing here?" Zhou Ming smiled.
"Miss Adele is busy now and doesn't want to see you." The two bodyguards had poker faces, and the one on the left spoke coldly.
The one on the right directly taunted, "You almost put Miss Adele in danger last time. You did such a poor job on your job, and you still have the nerve to see Miss Adele?"
In the assassination two days ago, the assassin's bullet almost hit Adele. Although Zhang Changlin and He Yunxiao fought desperately to resist, it still made Adele's impression of them plummet.
From the words of these two bodyguards, one can tell how much Adele dislikes them.
"Sorry, last time was an accident. I can explain." Zhou Ming didn't get angry and calmly said, "This time I do have something to ask Miss Adele, perhaps we can solve the assassination problem once and for all."
"I have already told you, Miss Adele is busy now and does not want to see you or have time to see you." The two bodyguards didn't budge.
"If you want to see Miss Adele, wait for us to talk to her, and after she agrees, we will notify you to come over. Now you should go back!"
Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes, and a killing intent naturally flowed out of him.
"I just want to see Miss Adele. You are obstructing me in every way. Could it be that you have already been bribed and have imprisoned Miss Adele!"
The two bodyguards were furious, and the one on the left shouted, "What are you talking about?" Get out of here!"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Zhou Ming's shoulder, but Zhou Ming was faster than him. He grabbed his outstretched hand and twisted it to the side, causing him to scream in pain and his body to tilt uncontrollably along with the twisting of his palm.
His companion immediately came to help, raising his fist to smash Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming pulled the left bodyguard's palm back and stepped back, using the body of the bodyguard to block the incoming fist.
Zhou Ming released his left hand and reached out to grab the fist that the right bodyguard had struck on the left bodyguard. With a pull and a tug, the two bodyguards lost their balance and fell to the ground in the same direction.
The ground was covered with thick carpets, and the two heavy bodies hitting the ground only made a silent "puff" sound without much movement.
The two still tried to struggle to get up, and Zhou Ming directly pulled out his gun and aimed it at them.
"Both of you, by attacking me, you have increased your suspicion. Now, I can only enter and see Miss Adele safe and sound with my own eyes before I can be at ease. What do you say?"
Faced with the black hole of the gun barrel, the two decisively backed down.
It wasn't that they were unprofessional. In terms of identity, Zhou Ming was their colleague, and the conflict between the two sides was an internal contradiction.
Moreover, Zhou Ming's gun was equipped with a silencer. If he had any malicious intent, there was no need to say anything more, and the two could not have sat on the ground unharmed.
