Chapter 1310 Ambush and Calculation
Lin Yu's speech not only explained his own skills, but also gave enough face to Huo Ming and her subordinates of Buyetian.
After all, the most important thing for getting by in the city that never sleeps, especially in the three major companies, is "social skills."
It was for this reason that Huo Ming of the Nevernight City was a little confused.
Manager Arthur is very capable and has good interpersonal skills. So how did he get to this point and still be an unknown B-1 level, and only recently came to prominence?
Could it be that the other party is taking the path of accumulating strength over time?
However, although Huo Ming of Buyetian was confused, he did not overly suspect that there was something wrong with Lin Yu.
After all, not to mention that the B-1 level is actually not low to some extent, Huo Ming, who has been in the Great Wilderness for so long, has a relatively good understanding of how difficult it is for the lower-class people to be promoted compared to other nobles, especially other high-ranking royal nobles.
After all, many of her pioneering teams and cooperative mercenary groups come from the lower classes, parents, or even ninth-class citizens.
Entering the wilderness, joining the pioneer team and mercenary group is the fastest way for these people at the bottom to turn things around.
Of course, the price is that it is easy to die in the wilderness.
So...Buye Tianhuo knew clearly that sometimes, even if people from the lower levels had no problems with their abilities and personalities, and were fully prepared ideologically, if they lacked opportunities, they might be stuck in a certain position and unable to move.
This John H. Arthur may have encountered this situation before.
Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky pondered.
All in all, it is a good thing that I meet such a person at this time when he has not yet become successful.
“Maybe, we can accomplish each other.”
Huo Ming of Buyetian was thinking in his heart, and his eyes looking at Lin Yu became more warm.
From Huo Ming's perspective at this moment...
The other party is even more worthy of friendship than Forboluo, who has become a "legend" and is deeply favored by his mother.
While Huo Ming was sorting out his thoughts in Nevernight...
Over there, Dongming Shuliu and others' investigation into the people of the Great Wilderness had also temporarily ended.
"Boss, those guys are from the K3 tribe. They're paid to do this—the Breakpoint missile was also provided by their employer."
"No further information for now. The truth serum has already been injected, and they probably don't know the identity of their employer."
Huo Ming frowned slightly: "Taking money to do things... that makes it difficult to deal with. How did the other party know our whereabouts? Could it be... there is a traitor?"
After Huo Ming of Nevernight said this, Dong Ming Su Liu shook his head and said, "Sir Huo Ming, please calm down. They've been paying for at least a week... How could they have expected that we would be the ones escorting Forboluo and Director Arthur?"
"According to them, the employer who ordered the mission gave them a locator and told them to immediately move and intercept the target if they appeared in the wasteland."
Dongming Suliu did not deliberately hide his report from Lin Yu. After hearing the news, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.
There was no doubt that the employer of these Great Wilderness people was the same person as the murderer of Forboluo, the guy suspected to be from the "Bronze Furnace" organization, or at least they were in a cooperative relationship.
but……
Why was he able to make a group of people from the Great Wilderness come to him as soon as he showed up in the Great Wilderness?
Lin Yu was not surprised that the other party would stop him from investigating the Great Wilderness. Ever since the explosion of the Turbine Gang, he had known that the murderer was probably on guard against him chasing him to the Wasteland to investigate.
But this precaution... is a little too good.
Arthur's identity had never been used before, and it was an identity created by Buye Tian Yonglian himself. Lin Yu didn't think that the other party had noticed the connection between his identity and Fu Luo and had taken precautions in advance.
and so……
"It must be some kind of [gear] that bypassed my disguise and directly pinpointed my location... but how did they do that? The [mask]'s disguise is clearly something not even gods can see through!"
Lin Yu thought about it and looked at Dongming Shuliu.
"Are these guys wearing locators? How did they lock onto my location and determine I was the target?"
As Lin Yu was speaking, Dongming Suliu looked at Lin Yu, and with the approval of Buyetian Huoming, he also reported directly to Lin Yu.
"Director Arthur, we've seized the locator... but it's just a sub-terminal, and it seems to have been shut down."
"I can't even identify the model... I don't even know which company made it."
Dongming Shuliu handed over a machine with a white plastic shell that looked nothing like the technology tree of the City That Never Sleeps. There were no buttons on it, only a dark display screen.
Compared to the alchemical creations in the wasteland, this thing looks very simple in appearance, has more mechanical structures, and the display screen is also in the style of a vacuum tube.
So... this thing is more like something made by the players themselves, or technology from another world.
And if we don't consider the small world in the gray area...
"This thing looks like something from Kirishima."
Fu Luo came over and whispered.
Lin Yu nodded.
"It does resemble the technology of Kirishima's previous civilization... and Kirishima's creations do have the ability to lock souls."
"I'll find a chance to let Old Zheng out later and have him identify it. He's very familiar with the relics of Kirishima's former civilization. If this thing is from Kirishima, he'll definitely be able to recognize it."
Fu Luo was a little surprised: "Is the first generation of 'Freud' so authoritative in the field of pre-Kirishima civilization?"
Lin Yu shrugged: "He has a girlfriend who is the former Princess Wenming of Kirishima. What do you think?"
Fu Luo was more than just surprised: "Ah? There is such a thing? Can a romantic relationship develop between players and natives?!"
Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo and sighed helplessly.
"Of all the players, you're the only one who doesn't have the right to be so surprised..."
However, Lin Yu did not start complaining.
After all, he has more important things to do now.
Although he planned to use Lao Zheng's knowledge to crack the origin and purpose of this thing later, Lin Yu did not intend to put aside the clues from the Great Wilderness attackers right now.
"Respected Lord Huo Ming, I'd like to ask, where is the K3 area where their village is located, and how far is it from us?"
When Huo Ming of Buyetian heard Lin Yu ask this, he understood what the other party was thinking.
"It's not far, and it's on the way to our original destination. These guys really attacked us, and we have to make their place pay the price!"
"Shuliu, when will the nearest support team arrive?"
Dongming Shuliu turned and looked at one of the captains: "Bandy, when will your team arrive?"
The captain responded immediately: "Report, they reported their location to me three minutes ago. According to my estimation, they should be able to reach us in a quarter of an hour at most!"
"The twenty-five members of the Seventh Squadron of the Lingxi Operations Detachment are here. They include seventeen combat personnel, six members of the maintenance and support team, and two alchemists. They are equipped with two heavy vehicles and a large alchemical weapons team."
