Civilization Paradise

Chapter 73 Intelligence
Bai Xiu looked at the gloomy faces of everyone and smiled as he pushed up his glasses.

"You don't need to worry. Even the strongest defense system has loopholes. The main function of this observatory base is to rely on solar energy storage devices distributed within the mountains. Due to years of disrepair, many of these solar energy storage devices have been damaged, so their energy storage capacity is limited. This means that once the observatory base enters the night, its energy storage capacity is insufficient, and a large number of weapons and equipment will be paralyzed. Therefore, the best time to go up is around 1 a.m. At the same time, going up at night also has its advantages. The effectiveness of various surveillance devices in the base that have not been maintained for a long time will be greatly reduced."

"So, our biggest enemy is still the players?"

Wei Zhang asked with a bright smile.

"That's right, the hardest thing since ancient times has not been the dungeon, but our own kind! But it doesn't matter, in order to successfully clear the Observatory Base this time, I spent 50 RMB to buy the walkthrough information from a player who had cleared it!"

Bai Xiu said with great confidence.

"What information?"

Long Ming and the others all looked at Bai Xiu.

"First of all, we don't need to rush into the central control room. The first person to go in may not be able to complete the mission, because to complete the mission we need to activate the radio telescope, which requires a lot of energy. Therefore, it can only be activated during the day, and it also depends on the weather. It gets light here at six o'clock. If the weather is good, we can activate it earlier. If it is cloudy, we may have to wait until 12 o'clock to activate it!"

"I see."

"In addition, I also obtained the best route to pass through the observatory. Most of the observatory's defensive weapons along this route are either damaged or out of ammunition, making it very safe. I will now share it with you."

Bai Xiu raised his bracelet and tapped it a few times before sharing the route information with Long Ming and the others.

"Brother Bai Xiu, can I ask you a question?"

At this moment, Qin Ying asked with some confusion.

"sure."

"It seems like the equipment and ammo don't respawn here. If we run out of defensive weapons and ammo, does that mean we can just go up here freely?"

"Yes."

"Wouldn't that make it easier?"

"No, because this instance can only be completed by a maximum of five people at a time, and everyone who comes in will still have to compete for these spots."

Bai Xiu explained to Qin Ying.

At this moment, Xu Lie asked curiously.

"If someone destroys the central control room, will the people behind them be unable to complete their missions?"

"That's theoretically true, unless you know how to fix a console, but those things are so complicated, who would fix them!"

"So, if someone destroys the control panel, they can block everyone's path? No one can complete the safe mission?"

"No, this observatory base instance is just one of the ways to upgrade the safe deposit box mission. It's possible that other instances will be released to replace it later. But who knows what the new instances will be like? Maybe they'll be even more difficult!"

"I see!"

"And I warn all of you, no one is allowed to disrupt central control!"

"why?"

Xu Lie asked curiously.

"Don't any of you browse the forums? The three major guilds have issued warnings on the forums that no one, including members of their own guilds, is allowed to damage the central control console of the observatory. If anyone does, they will call you out offline. At that point, it won't just be a game issue; it will be a test of your luck."

Bai Xiu addressed Xu Lie and the others.

"It's just a game, so why bother? But forget it, I have no interest in being chased and killed by those guys."

Although Xu Lie and his gang are arrogant, it doesn't mean they're not smart.

They knew a little bit about the backgrounds of the three major guilds.

Upon hearing this, Long Ming frowned slightly, feeling a strange unease for some reason.

This is clearly just a game, but everything feels so real.

As his exploration deepened, he sometimes even lost the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion.

bang bang~
Just then, gunfire erupted in the distance. Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen quickly addressed Qin Ye and the others.

"Young masters, let's go. I reckon quite a few players have already entered the base city."

"Alright, let's head to the vicinity of the base city center first, then find a place to hide and wait for an opportunity."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

"on!"

Qin Ye waved casually at Long Ming and the others.

Long Ming and the other escorts immediately dispersed, some to clear the way and others to ensure rear security.

They escorted Qin Ye and his group of five at all times, heading towards the center of the base city.

Half an hour later.

The narrow streets were filled with murky sewage, and rotting bones floated on the surface.

The abandoned residential buildings on both sides are covered with bullet holes and charred remains from the explosion.

Some of the main structures were even nearly half damaged, and the entire building was on the verge of collapse.

Long Ming looked at the dilapidated buildings along the way, pondering silently.

When he searched for information about the Watchtower Observatory on the forum, he didn't get much background information about the instance, but he did get some important information.

This instance is not without monsters. A mutated virus is rampant in this world. When people are infected with this virus, their bodies mutate, turning them into powerful flesh and blood monsters. These mutated monsters are extremely strong and even immune to conventional weapons.

However, these monsters only occupy some important and special areas, such as the base city garrison, the power room of the observatory base, and the secret database.

Therefore, as long as you don't go near them, you're unlikely to run into them.

Of course, there must be good things in the areas where they live.

However, almost all players who have completed the Watchtower Base dungeon are advised against provoking them.

Keep in mind that this is a 10000-player raid.

Under normal circumstances, the 1 players who enter this instance should work together to defeat these monsters.

Only then can we have even the slightest chance of winning.

However, the current situation is that the place is not even fully occupied, and everyone is still fighting each other.

Therefore, provoking those monsters is basically no different from offering yourself up for death.

At that moment, a pitch-black gun barrel silently extended from the window, aiming at Qin Ye and the others who were getting closer and closer.

Inside the window, a player's face lit up with excitement, just as he was about to pull the trigger.

A mocking voice came from behind.

"What are you happy about?"

The player's body trembled instantly, and he turned around abruptly.

Wei Zhang was standing right behind him.

He didn't have a chance to fire.

Wei Zhang held the gun in his hand with one hand, and with the other hand, he plunged the tactical knife directly into the man's chest.

"How, how is it possible?"

The player collapsed in disbelief. His teammates were guarding the outside stairs, so how did the enemy manage to sneak up behind him so silently?
