Chapter 646: Chapter 309: X Town_3

Maya asked, "A Fortress agent?"

"Yes," the other party frankly admitted.

This made everyone feel somewhat incredulous, as there used to be quite a noticeable gap between players and NPCs, making it easy to tell them apart. This cowboy uncle not only wore a fitting outfit, but his actions and behavior were also very close to that of NPCs. If he hadn’t deliberately avoided making eye contact with Lin Wu, Lin Wu definitely wouldn’t have suspected him.

The man declared single-handedly, "I don’t carry anything on me, and I’ll respawn two hours after I die, so do as you please."

Maya said, "Since it takes two hours anyway, why don’t you tell me why you look so much like an NPC and I’ll let you go."

The man replied, "I refuse."

Lin Wu said, "Brother, that’s not right of you. Since we’ve discovered you, and you’re not willing to cooperate, we’ll have to take some inhumane measures."

"What measures?"

"Interrogation!" Lin Wu explained, "You say you don’t have anything on you and you can’t commit suicide. According to the system rules, you can’t attack us, so you can’t fight back. Although death isn’t scary, pain is very real. After we break your legs, we’ll leave someone to fix you up for two hours, and I don’t think you’d enjoy that." Lin Wu wasn’t quite sure if the system would intervene in the mistreatment of a Fortress agent, but he suspected that the other party also wasn’t clear on that.

The man fell silent for a moment, then said, "20 points can be used to disguise as a local resident."

Maya nodded, "Qinglang."

Qinglang raised his gun and struck the man with the butt to break his Full Status, then shot him dead with one shot. Lin Wu went forward for Corpse Looting, and as the man had said, he wasn’t carrying anything.

Maya looked around and said, "They are conducting their mission here. Pay more attention to the eyes of NPCs. Don’t kill anyone before confirming their identities; otherwise, we’ll be punished."

"Understood," everyone answered, and they dispersed to continue their missions.

After more than an hour of effort, two more Fortress agents were killed by the Orient Express. Without exception, they were dressed in NPC clothes and even had their faces altered by the system. Lin Wu even suspected that one of the women was Nightmare or Blood Meng, but she neither admitted it nor revealed her identity.

Maya was very uneasy about this. Most of the Fortress agents had already banded together, abandoning other targets and focusing on the Orient Express.

In this town, only Maya and Qinglang, who had been beaten to a pulp, completed a mission and obtained two cards. The first card was for an armed train car, which was actually a vendor car for weapons and ammunition and offered prices 50% lower than market rate. Besides, the armed car also offered weapon modifications or enhancements, provided the player could find suitable components.

The second card was for a Defensive Crossbow which, just like a searchlight, could be mounted on top of any train car. It was powerful, automatically reloading without needing materials. It had two downsides: one was a reload time of 10 seconds, and the other was that it could only be used during the 10-minute defense battle after a train derailment.

Using the armed car, Maya converted extra weapons into materials and upgraded the Defensive Crossbow to an Auto Turret, changing from shooting Crossbow Arrows to shooting repeater gun bullets. The reload time increased by two seconds, but it significantly boosted the lethality and rate of fire.

Maya explained the upgrade, "We have ample train repair materials and a reserves of weapons and ammunition. The best way for the Fortress agents to defeat us is to derail the train. I believe they are completing missions inside the town to gather more system materials. Therefore, we need to prepare for a defensive battle."
