Chapter 987 Trigger the first stage (two-in-one chapter)
"Notice that the system blocking time has ended. I wish you all the best in your mission~"
A sudden sound sounded from the system, and on the virtual screen in the heads of Hu Biao and others, the countdown numbers finally jumped to a series of 0s.
Then, the true appearance of Hu Biao and the others in the iron cage was completely exposed to the eyes of other prisoners and a group of orc patrols.
Thanks to the fact that Hu Biao and others had prepared in advance as early as two minutes ago.
Specifically, they took out some spare clothes and shoes and socks and gave them to Zhu Xiulian and other 10 people to change into directly. They also asked them to change into their pajamas, slippers, and other clothes that were inconvenient for movement.
He also put the helmet he was wearing and the weapons he carried on his body into the space equipment.
Then he imitated the appearance of the other indigenous captives in the surrounding iron cages, messing up his hair and smearing his face until it was dirty.
They all collapsed on the ground, leaning on each other, like some frightened quails in a rainstorm.
So after the shielding provided by the system ended, even a group of ten patrol soldiers walked through the door of the iron cage again.
One of the leading Leopard men officers seemed to feel something vaguely, and clearly glanced into the iron cage, but in the end did not make any reaction and continued to walk forward.
Presumably he didn't notice anything different in this iron cage.
In this way, Hu Biao and others did nothing in the current stinking environment and began to wait patiently.
What are you waiting for? The arrival of evening, of course.
Although the first phase tasks of the system have not been released yet.
However, based on the experience gained by Hu Biao and others from so many missions, one thing is certain: the first phase of the mission must be related to escaping from here.
It’s amazing that the detailed requirements may be somewhat different.
So waiting until night is the best time to do it.
While waiting, Hu Biao and the others showed no intention of chatting with the numb-looking indigenous humans in the surrounding iron cages.
The main reason is that I am worried that this approach will be exposed and is too dangerous...
After waiting for almost three hours, the light that penetrated into the hall from the broken windows outside the iron cage became darker and darker, and eventually turned into boundless darkness.
For some unknown reason, in this day and age, there are no electric lights in the hall, a lighting tool that existed more than a hundred years ago.
Instead, there were some braziers, which were lit one by one after dark.
In fact, in some opened oil drums, there were wooden sticks, rags, waste engine oil, and rubber that were set alight by the orcs.
Amid the strong smell of glue, the light in the hall suddenly became darker than during the day.
And now it seems that it’s time for the orc guards to eat.
As a result, amid some strange meaty smells and a rather strong, alcohol-like smell of wine lingering, the density of their patrols suddenly became sparse.
Even the guards who were still standing at some key positions seemed to be distracted for a while.
Under such circumstances, Hu Biao, who had finally waited for the time, secretly looked at Zhu Ye and the people around him with a 'do something' look.
The so-called action, of course, does not mean killing them all at once.
Just kidding! For the Zhongzhou team, the situation here is still in a dark state; there is no way they could be so reckless and just rush out regardless of everything.
After receiving Hu Biao's look, Bai Xiang, Shi Polu, King Kong and other relatively larger members immediately became middle-aged low-voltage electricians.
That is, Bamboo Leaf, the electronic warfare experts from Zhongzhou Team surrounded him, blocking the view of Bamboo Leaf from outside.
Then, with a thought, Zhuye released a micro-drone from his space ring.
To be more precise, this thing is the Hummingbird drone obtained from Rabbit.
The total length is less than 15 centimeters, it is only about the size of a pen, and the weight is only a measly 35 grams, less than 1 tael.
But the small size of this thing does not affect its very powerful functions at all.
The 'Hummingbird' drone can be started in just tens of seconds, and then has a battery life of 25 minutes. During the process, the engine will produce almost no noise and will not be noticed.
Because of its small size, it is naturally unable to carry any weapons for attack.
But if it is used for investigation, it can be described as a magical weapon.
It has four cameras installed on it and even has a night vision function, which will not be affected by bad weather and has an operating range of two kilometers.
It can be said that it is quite easy to use. Anyone who uses it will know.
What's more, after I got the bamboo leaf, I made some small modifications using my own technology to make it easier to use.
So, in the very dim light of the hall, the modified Hummingbird drone flew out of the iron cage and hall with great dexterity under the control of Bamboo Leaf.
Finally, it hovered about fifty or sixty meters outside the hall, and no orcs noticed it during the whole process.
It also allowed Hu Biao and the others, who had secretly leaned their heads over, to see more of the situation through a screen in Zhuye's hands.
Outside the hall, there is a huge open space. Judging from the surrounding situation, the area where Hu Biao and others are currently located should be in a large warehouse.
Similar to where Hu Biao and the others are, it can be said that there are more than a dozen warehouses that are exactly the same.
It's just that Zhuye used the drone to look at the two surrounding warehouses and found that there was nothing inside, so he immediately stopped paying attention to them.
Put all your energy into the huge open space outside the warehouse.
Twenty-three fires were now lit in the open space, and dozens of large pots were placed on the fires. The strangely colored broth in the pots had begun to boil.
Thousands of orcs gathered around the pot, and there was no way to queue up.
Some of the strongest orcs were using big spoons to fish out lumps of suspicious meat and what should be potatoes.
Just using a spoon, he started eating and drinking like a starving ghost reincarnated.
During this period, the orcs had at least a dozen or twenty fights in order to grab food; those fists that showed no mercy at all beat their comrades mercilessly.
It's just that for these meaty scenes, the other orcs who were eating and drinking couldn't even take a second look.
For them, it seems that the food in front of them is the most beautiful thing.
It seemed that only the officers among the orcs could enjoy such good things as drinks. While they were eating meat, they would occasionally pour a sip into their mouths before going to sleep.
You can immediately see the intoxicated expression on their faces.
As for how to distinguish their officer identities, Hu Biao and others now have some experience.
It should be that these guys have a triangular armband sewn on their left arm. You can easily tell it based on the specific content on it.
Among them, the one with one sharp animal tooth belongs to the captain of ten, the one with two belongs to the centurion, and the one with three should be the captain of thousands.
As for the situation of the commander-in-chief of a higher level, Hu Biao and the others have no clue at the moment because they did not see it at the scene.
But this is actually a good thing, because it means that there won't be too many orcs here.
If there really was a captain of ten thousand standing in charge, it would be almost impossible for them to escape.
Of course, Zhuye's main purpose of operating the Hummingbird drone was to find out what the prison camp should be this time, the specific fortifications and sentries, as well as the best escape route, and whether there was suitable transportation.
Only by understanding the above can their subsequent actions be facilitated.
Therefore, during Zhuye's deliberate operation, Hu Biao and the others were surprised to find that the defenses of these orcs were actually quite lax.
In such a large prisoner camp, there were only a few fixed sentries and patrol teams dispatched infrequently.
Only at the entrance of the warehouse area, there were two ten-man orcs, currently lazily setting up defenses.
Therefore, Hu Biao and the others were thinking that if they really took action later, the possibility of secretly escaping from this prison camp was still very high.
The only difficulty there was that if Hu Biao and the others really wanted to escape secretly, they would not be able to hide from the hundreds of indigenous captives in the hall.
When they are discovered, do you want to take them and escape with you?
If we don't take these people with us, will they cause trouble and be exposed? How can we escape if we really take these people with us? It's really a bit of a pain in the head.
In this way, under the fairly covert action of the Hummingbird drone, it took almost 20 minutes to complete this investigation very smoothly.
With little remaining power, Zhuye operated the drone and began to return.
Unfortunately, due to the duration, remote control range and other reasons, they were unable to fly the drone out of the warehouse area to see what was going on outside.
Where is this warehouse area specifically located?
I wonder if it is the grandson of the system who has been monitoring the actions of the Central Continent team all the time.
Anyway, after the drone landed on Zhuye's outstretched left hand with extremely smooth movements, the system's bitchy voice sounded in the heads of everyone in the Zhongzhou team.
At such a time, the Central Continent Team has officially triggered the first phase of this mission:
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, and to all members of the Zhongzhou Team, the system has officially triggered the first phase of this mission. Please pay attention to the following mission requirements.
First, the current time is October 17, 1954, at 8:12 pm.
Members of the Central Continent tribe are requested to rush to the relevant target area: the town of Immokalee before 8 a.m. on October 18th.
After arriving at the target location, the Zhongzhou team added the additional netizens summoned this time. The number of people arriving in the third institute must be no less than 35 people. If there are less than 35 people, the first phase of the mission will be considered a failure.
After the mission fails, 10 people will be directly wiped out as a punishment system.
Second, in view of the fact that there are a large number of indigenous members in the prisoner-of-war camp here.
At this stage, the system releases some additional side tasks: rescuing prisoners.
After the mission is over, different rewards and punishments will be given based on the number of prisoners of war rescued.
Among them, if the number of captive survivors who arrived in the town of Immokalee is between 50 and 100, the bloodline power of the Central Continent team's bloodline powerhouses will increase by 10% during this mission.
When the number of people arriving is between 100 and 150, the bloodline ability will be increased by 20%.
When the number of people arriving is between 150 and 200, the bloodline ability is increased by 30%.
If the number of people arriving is more than 200, the bloodline ability will be increased by 40%; this is the highest reward limit in this side mission.
However, if the number of arrivals is less than 50 but more than 30, the bloodline ability will be weakened by 10%.
If the number of arrivals is less than 30 but more than 10, the bloodline ability will be reduced by 20%.
If all the prisoners die on the road, the Central Continent team will be punished by having their bloodline abilities weakened by 50%.
Please note that the above reductions and increases are limited to this mission. Once this mission is over, it will immediately return to the normal state.
Third, based on the needs of this mission, all members of the Central Continent team have temporarily mastered the "Basic Orc Common Language Proficiency".
This skill is temporarily loaded and will be taken back by the system immediately once the current mission is over. If you want to keep it, you can pay 2000 system points to the system.
Fourth, during the first phase of this mission, all members of the Central Continent team will not be restricted by any activity area.
Finally, I wish Commander Hu Biao and the members of the Zhongzhou Team to achieve greater success in the new mission world..."
*******
After listening to the system's bitchy announcement, a total of 61 people in that iron cage suddenly became silent for the next few minutes.
The reason for this is that the veterans of the Central Continent Team have heard too many things from the above mission description.
For example, this was the second time they had encountered the reward of weakening and strengthening the bloodline.
Didn't they meet him once during the mission in the third institute?
So you know, even if the bloodline is only increased by 10%, it is quite a wonderful thing; if it can be increased by 40%, the combat power will skyrocket, okay?
But this thing is just a sweet bait with a trap.
It's not that it's not easy to accomplish, it's that it's almost impossible to accomplish.
Even though so much time has passed, Hu Biao and others still feel a huge lingering fear when they think back to the attack in that long night.
I can't even believe how I achieved such a miracle in the first place.
If the same thing happened again, would they be able to accomplish this? Frankly speaking, few people in the team were confident enough that they would be able to accomplish it.
The problem is that tasks issued by the system can only be completed or not completed, and there is no such thing as rejection.
So now the veterans of the Central Continent team are thinking about how to take away more prisoners and then reach the small town of Immokalee.
And the other ten rookies, such as Zhu Xiulian, an unmarried young woman.
Although she didn't know why Hu Biao had such shocking changes after the two were separated for such a long time.
But she knew that in the future, she would just follow Hu Biao closely.
Not only to survive, but also because she didn’t want to leave Hu Biao, a man again.
As for the other nine netizens, they still have not recovered from the sudden arrival in such a strange world with all kinds of dangers.
In the current situation, they simply don't know what to say...
After about 10 minutes, Hu Biao, as the commander of the Zhongzhou team, first had to adjust his mood before speaking.
After speaking, he lowered his voice and his first sentence was:
"Everyone should adjust their watches immediately and adjust the time to 8:22 p.m."
Everyone naturally knows what Hu Biao's move means; it is nothing more than synchronizing the watches on everyone's hands with such a mission world.
Therefore, in the next few dozen seconds, everyone began to adjust the various styles of rare antique mechanical watches on their wrists through the dim firelight.
After taking the lead to adjust the time, Hu Biao asked Jason and Bai Xiang, two team members who had lived in North America for many years:
"Do you two know where a place like the town of Immokalee is? Are you familiar with the surrounding routes?"
Under such a question, Bai Xiang shook his head and answered: "I usually stay at home drinking and playing with various collections. I don't like to wander around, so I don't know anything about the town of Immokalee.
learn."
Fortunately, the fake foreigner Jason is quite familiar with such a small town of Immokalee.
After a while, he began to explain: "The town of Immokalee? I have been to and passed by this place several times, so I know something about it.
This is a town with a population of about 26,000 people. The economy is mainly based on tomato cultivation, so it is known as the "Tomato City" in Uncle Sam's family.
By the way! This place is also the origin of modern slavery and human trafficking at Uncle Sam's house.
If after leaving here, as long as I first determine which area of California this is, I should know how to get there; provided that in this world, the road network has not changed much."
After hearing some of these answers, Hu Biao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to have an acquaintance to lead the way than to look at a map and fumble all the way forward.
After all, the system does not have an electronic map with arrows in their heads, which is not humane at all.
So in the following time, Hu Biao began to greet the veterans of the team and discuss how to act.
After spending about half an hour, an action plan that seemed quite reliable on the surface was roughly drawn up.
And the work is divided among people, and everyone is responsible for something.
