Chapter 811: Chapter 363 Nighttime Q&A_2

Everyone was buried in their scorched rice meal, mixed with canned pickled vegetables, silent. Little Knife stood and watched everyone with unease, whispered into Shana’s ear, "Tastes pretty bad, doesn’t it?"

Shana replied, "I took a nibble, and if you chew slowly, it’s actually quite fragrant."

Lin Wu was the first to put down his chopsticks and said, "I’ll leave some leftovers for the chicken."

Shana responded, "No need."

"I need it," Lin Wu said. "I love chicken."

Lin Meng imitated him, "I love it too."

So, Su Shi and the others put down their bowls one after another, "Love it too."

Shana, hugging Little Knife, felt utterly embarrassed by the unanimous denial. Why didn’t anyone directly say it was terrible? According to the rules, whoever said it would take the next shift.

Shana and Little Knife apologized to everyone, finally adding, "We’ll ensure that everyone gets the best lunch and dinner."

Maya stood up and said, "Lin Meng and Lin Wu, prepare yourselves, adjust the items in your backpacks, get ready to enter the attack version. I discussed yesterday with Shana. After understanding the historical context, I believe your version must be a mission to infiltrate German headquarters and assassinate their leader. Given the level of technology at that time, you should bring some lock picks. Moreover, you’ll need to master some historical knowledge to avoid being clueless if interrogated."

Lin Wu asked, "There’s interrogation too? Isn’t it just a hit job?"

Maya suddenly had a bad feeling.

Shana asked, "You infiltrate and are discovered by a Sentry. You point your gun at the Sentry, and the Sentry says I’m French. Tell me, is this Sentry your ally on the inside or your enemy?"

"French?" I’ve never heard of France on Earth.

"Fazi Stan, originally called France," Shana explained. "France surrendered quickly after World War II, so him claiming to be French doesn’t indicate his allegiance. Therefore, you should take him out."

Lin Wu was speechless, "Isn’t that obvious?"

Shana asked, "What if he claims to be from Military Intelligence Section 6?"

Lin Wu answered, "Whether Section 6 is good or bad, the other side might be lying, just take him out and end it. The mission is infiltration and assassination, stay hidden if possible, assassinate if you can."

Shana was stunned and finally said, "That could work too."

...

Attack mission: Assassinate the General.

Backstory, Lin Meng is an assassin dispatched by the allies, she will complete the assassination of the General with her subordinate, Lin Wu. An insider has already prepared the intelligence, but how to proceed is for Lin Meng to decide.

The General will leave his residence by car at 7:30 AM and reach the headquarters at 8:00 AM. At 11:30 AM, he will head to the airport and take a flight to Berlin by 12:00 PM.

The version starts at 6:00 AM; the allies have equipped Lin Meng with a car and two identities; they are French teachers working at a nearby elementary school, which is attended mostly by the children of the puppet government’s officials.

In the safe house, upon reviewing the intelligence, Lin Wu cursed silently because the information included the names of twenty students and the headmaster’s details.

The routes weren’t complex; most of the city was wrapped in fog with only a few clear roads. The airport, headquarters, and the General’s residence formed a triangle, with half an hour’s drive on each side. The intelligence stated that there was a fixed Sentry Card on every edge.

Close to headquarters, Lin Wu looked at the nearby geography pictures, then glanced at the thick-as-a-brick intelligence file and said, "No need to look further, we’re not driving. We’ll go over the rooftops to a point close to headquarters and snipe the General."

Lin Meng peddled, "The intelligence says there are French resistance fighters inside the headquarters; they will help us unconditionally and even provided us with a password and a route. We could completely infiltrate inside the headquarters."

Lin Meng continued, "There’s a bundle of explosives hidden near the airport; we can place the explosives along the General’s path and intercept him midway."

Lin Wu asked, "How many points are deducted if we fail?"

Lin Meng answered, "Failure to assassinate deducts one thousand, capture deducts one thousand each, and getting killed deducts five hundred each."

"Is there an escape route?"

"Yes." Lin Meng passed a map over.

Between the General’s residence and the headquarters, there is a side road called Foggy Road; simply entering this foggy area would count as a successful escape.

Lin Wu inquired, "How many points for a successful mission?"

Lin Meng replied, "One thousand points for a successful assassination, and an additional one thousand points if one person escapes successfully after the mission."

Lin Wu said, "Judging by the points, assassination seems easier than escape. Look at this map, what’s beside our escape route? Sentry Cards; the system won’t let us ambush the General here."

Lin Wu continued, "Your first proposal involves interception. First, the route from the residence to the headquarters, if we intercept the General here, the road will inevitably be closed, making it almost impossible to escape to Foggy Road. Second, intercepting the General on the route from the headquarters to the airport; this is very far from Foggy Road, requiring almost half an hour’s drive. Too many variables."

Lin Wu added, "Your second point, infiltration, aren’t the conditions for infiltration too perfect? Not only do we have inside help, but we also have a map; the insiders will help us unconditionally, we even have the security passwords. I believe all these are true, but trust me, once the General dies, we have almost no chance of escaping the headquarters."

Lin Meng pondered, "So our best option is to snipe the General at the entrance of the headquarters and then drive for 15 minutes to enter Foggy Road?"

Lin Wu nodded, "The Sentry Card is ahead of Foggy Road; they will strictly inspect everyone and every vehicle, but we don’t need to pass through the Sentry Card."
