章節 2: Chapter 2: The Mission Begins
As the information about the mission exploded in his mind, Zhou Ming felt a sudden brightness around him, and a strange sense of "reality" emerged.
It was as if there had been an invisible barrier separating him from the world, but now that barrier had been lifted, allowing Zhou Ming to fully integrate into this world.
At the same time, Zhou Ming felt a sudden weight in his hand, and a wallet appeared out of thin air.
Not only him, but the other reincarnators also had wallets appear in their hands, with only the design being different.
Zhou Ming opened the wallet to find a stack of banknotes and several cards inside. He pulled out the card with his own photo on it, which had the name "Zhang Wei" printed on it.
Zhou Ming: "..."
It was obvious that this was the identity arranged for him by the main god in this world.
In addition to the identity card, there was a room card for the Summer Coast Hotel , with room number 704 printed on it; a credit card; and a black card of unknown origin.
Finally, there was a photo of a beautiful Caucasian girl in her early twenties with a sweet smile and a lively spirit.
Flipping over the photo, a name was written on the back with a marker: Adele Bronzes.
It was obvious that the girl in the photo was the target they were going to protect for the next ten days.
This judgment was not only based on simple reasoning from a photo, but also because Zhou Ming saw the girl in the photo nearby.
She was lying on a beach chair, holding a magazine with great interest, her body stretched out, and her hot figure was on full display. Her snow-white skin was as dazzling as pearls, attracting the hot gaze of numerous men on the beach.
However, in the face of such a beautiful and lovely girl, not a single man dared to come up and strike up a conversation.
The reason was simple: there were four brawny men wearing beach pants and bare-chested, showing off their strong muscles, fiercely scanning all the men who wanted to get close to the girl.
"Are there any other bodyguards protecting her? Are they fellow teammates with the same storyline identity as me, or are they a different group of people?" Zhou Ming speculated in his heart, withdrawing his gaze from Adele.
"Is your task time only ten days?"
On the other side, Yu Man listened to several newbies talk about their mission content and said, "You're lucky. The first world's mission won't be too difficult. Instead, if you take advantage of the newbie benefits, you can greatly improve your strength in just one mission world... Well, then, let's first get in touch with the characters in the plot. The mission has already begun."
The six of them walked towards Adele's direction, and on the way, the four newbies briefly introduced themselves during those few minutes.
The man with glasses and a fair complexion was named He Yunxiao, 24 years old, and worked in the IT industry.
The other nondescript man was named Zhang Changlin, a college student.
The only female among the four newbies was named Zhao Ting, also a college student.
As for Zhou Ming, considering that his body was only 16 years old, he had to play the role of a high school student, but he played it happily.
The approach of the six people quickly caught the attention of the four burly men, and one of them was about to step forward to stop them but was stopped by Adele, who was lying on a beach chair.
The dutiful burly man no longer obstructed them and allowed them to walk up to Adele, but most of the attention of the four was now focused on the six people.
As the six people approached Adair, before anyone could speak, Adele spoke first, with a somewhat impatient tone of voice.
"Weren't you supposed to protect me in the shadows? Now that you've come out in public, haven't you all exposed yourselves?"
"Gosh, I can't even tell that you guys are trained and seasoned senior bodyguards. If it weren't for Uncle recommending you to me..."
The chattering girl pointed her finger at Yu Man and Yang Zhisheng and asked, "Who are they? Your new colleagues?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Ming was shocked.
Were Yu Man and Yang Zhisheng not assigned the role of protecting Adele by the main god?
Because Adele knew the four newcomers, if the main god had also assigned Yu Man and Yang Zhisheng as bodyguards, there was no need to create a plot where Adele was unaware of their identities.
In that case, what was their task? Did their task conflict with the task of Zhou Ming and the other three?
This mission is a team cooperation type, but no one knows if this cooperation is aimed at all reincarnators or just the four newcomers. After all, the tasks of the two old men are different from theirs.
"Yes, we are technical support personnel." Before the others could figure out how to explain, Yu Man spoke with a smile.
"Although the two of us are non-combatants who are not in the combat sequence, it is necessary to inform you, our employer, in advance, to avoid unnecessary trouble in subsequent actions."
Also, the girl in the beach chair shrugged and said indifferently, "Whatever, I don't have to pay anyway... I'm going back to the hotel."
Yu Man nodded and said, "Okay, then we will continue with our original plan and try not to appear in front of you."
As the group gradually moved away, the expressions of Yu Man and Yang Zhisheng quickly turned cold.
"Sister...Yu, what's going on?"
Also, seeing the change in the expressions of the two experienced reincarnators, Zhao Ting, the only woman among the four, asked cautiously.
The newbies did not understand what had happened and were somewhat uneasy.
Only Zhou Ming thought of something and said thoughtfully, "There is a problem with the roles assigned to us by the main god!"
"Hmm?" Everyone was a little surprised, and He Yunxiao was the first to ask, "What are you talking about? Can the main god also make mistakes?"
Zhou Ming glanced at him and said calmly, "It's not that the main god made a mistake, but that the main god has set a trap for us in the roles assigned to us."
"After all, Adele knows us, and the identity that the main god arranged for us before we entered this world was already executing the task of protecting Adele."
"Then, the assassins who want to kill Adele may have already started targeting her before we entered this world. It's possible that the identities we are playing have already secretly clashed with the assassins."
"Even when we just greeted Adele, the assassin might have been lurking in the shadows, observing us, and even now, they are still monitoring us."
"Adele said that we were all protecting her in secret and had never shown ourselves. However, since we didn't know anything about our situation when we just entered this world, we may have already been exposed now." said Zhou Ming.
"Previously, both the killers and us were in the shadows, but now it's become a situation where we are enemies in the dark. We know nothing about the killers, but they may already be targeting us," he continued.
Zhou Ming's words made the newbies shudder with fear. He Yunxiao and Zhang Changlin nervously looked around, as if trying to spot the hidden assassin with their own eyes.
Zhao Ting looked to the two veteran players for some comfort, hoping to find some solace from them.
The two veterans looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, and Yu Man applauded, "Not bad, new guy, you have potential."
Yang Zhisheng said, "Don't worry, new players participating in the first mission are under the protection of the novice system for the first twelve hours of the mission and will not suffer any harm from within the mission. So even if everything Zhou Ming said is true, the killer won't immediately attack you and will give you some time to adapt."
Zhou Ming also said, "What I just said was just a guess. Maybe I'm completely wrong, and the killer can't be watching Adele all the time."
The calm attitude and comforting words of the three people gradually calmed the other three, but they still felt uneasy.
"Adele is going back to the hotel. Let's follow her," Yu Man suddenly spoke, breaking the somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
The group followed Adair from a distance, pretending to be pedestrians and not getting too close to her, although they knew they might have already been exposed, they still clung to the hope of being lucky.
A group of six walked along the beach, and from a distance they could see the billboard of the Summer Coast Hotel and its magnificent building.
Despite its cheesy name, the Summer Coast Hotel was a genuine five-star hotel.
From the various facilities, including the hotel, and the people coming and going around them, it was clear that this beach, about which the few reincarnators hadn't even figured out where it was located, was indeed a popular tourist destination.
After about ten minutes, they arrived at the hotel.
"My room number is 708, Zhang Changlin is 707, Zhao Ting is 706, He Yunxiao is 705, Zhang Wei is 704 (Zhou Ming introduced himself using his identity in this world, it is unknown whether others are using their real names), and Yang Zhisheng is 703."
"Now, in each of our rooms, there should be personal items corresponding to the identities we're playing. So let's disperse and search our own rooms for useful things, preferably weapons."
"Half an hour later, let's meet up in my room to discuss the next step of our plan. Is that okay?"
Yu Man made a reasonable arrangement, and everyone said there was no problem.
They were all newcomers, not long ago living their own peaceful lives, and suddenly they were thrown into this strange world, with assassins lurking in the shadows watching them.
They had been in a state of unease and panic, and although they were hesitant about being alone for a while, the sense of security that finding weapons brought them outweighed everything else.
Even Zhou Ming needed some time alone to verify a few questions.
Can the Gu worms be mobilized in this world? Can the consumed primeval essence be restored?
The laws of this world were completely different from those in the Gu world, and Zhou Ming could only explore little by little.
Entering room 704, Zhou Ming did not immediately check himself but carefully searched the entire room.
He did not find any monitoring or recording devices such as pinhole cameras, and he tentatively confirmed that the room was safe.
Then, he found suitable clothes and firearms. After changing into the clothes, he reached out and picked up the gun, skillfully performing a series of actions such as loading and unloading the chamber and checking the bullet safety.
Whether in his past life or present life, this was the first time that Zhou Ming had ever come into contact with a real gun.
However, thanks to the special newbie buff gun level 1 given by the main god, Zhou Ming felt extremely familiar with the gun he was holding for the first time.
The M9, also known as the Beretta 92, uses the short-stroke recoil principle, with a locking system that employs a falling block, and is designed with both single and double action triggers. It uses a 15-round detachable magazine and is 217mm long, weighing 1.1kg. The gun has an initial velocity of 390 m/s and a simple structure with reliable mechanical operation, making it very convenient to use.
In the entire room, there is only this one firearm.
This is obviously not consistent with the character settings. Zhou Ming knows that this must be the arrangement of the main god: at the beginning, they will only be given this level of weapon support, and they will have to figure out how to get better weapons themselves later on.
