Chapter 954: Chapter 413 Mission

Although the factory area is not a safe zone and is within the strength range of the robber gang, the team needs a foothold. After reviewing the map, Maya decides to rest in the factory area during the day, retreat after sunset, and if all goes well, return to the Railway Bridge Base by tomorrow morning.

At six in the morning, after breakfast, everyone prepared to rest, and the Library Base made a phone call.

Blood Meng answered the phone on speaker: "Hi."

Starlight’s voice came through: "Pretty ruthless." His tone was calm; it was more of a compliment than a blame.

Blood Meng didn’t intend to offend Starlight, after all, Starlight was a high-ranking official in Fortress. After arriving on Earth, it was fine if Starlight wanted to return to Blue Star, but if he stayed on Earth, he would be the boss of Blood Meng’s boss. Blood Meng also knew that Starlight wouldn’t hate him for his actions, and chuckled, "It’s just competition, sorry."

Starlight asked: "Why did you shoot at me during your competition?"

Blood Meng said, "Starlight, honestly, we had a hundred chances to kill you over the past two days. Shooting at you was just to create chaos, no personal grudge."

Starlight: "These are trivial matters. It’s good to have Nightmare; it doesn’t matter much without him. A replaceable person’s value wouldn’t be high. I just want to ask one question, how many Blue Star people are among you?"

Blood Meng was taken aback, looked at Maya, who also froze, not knowing how to answer; although she didn’t want to kill Starlight, she also didn’t want to have too much interaction with him.

After this pause, Starlight seemed to understand and asked, "Is Nightmare there?"

Nightmare greeted: "Hi, Starlight."

Starlight said: "There can’t be many Blue Star people who can enter Hardcore Mode, Lin Wu?" If it were only Nightmare, Blood Meng wouldn’t have hesitated to answer.

Blood Meng saw Lin Wu gesture a hand: "It’s not Lin Wu, it’s someone from Veteran Base."

Lin Wu also didn’t want to interact with Starlight.

Starlight somewhat puzzled: "Why?"

Blood Meng was a bit confused: "Don’t you know what Nightmare did? Or did you not listen to the radio broadcast from Veteran Base?"

Starlight: "I know, he led an attack on North Mountain Base and killed a few people. Revenge? Just plain revenge?"

This seemed like an opportunity to sow discord, Nightmare responded: "It was an arsenal, the Veteran’s Club’s arsenal. Nightmare forced the arsenal’s password out of them."

Starlight clearly didn’t know about this, quite surprised: "Really?"

Nightmare said: "It seems Nightmare has his own confidants."

"Hehe, there should be," although Starlight said this, he already had some ideas.

Nightmare said: "Starlight, don’t blame us, we’ve given you a lot of face. Before this, Nightmare offended East Base, we could have directly called for artillery to bombard your base, but we didn’t do that."

Starlight puzzled: "What? Why would East Base listen to you?"

Nightmare explained: "Nightmare attacked the logistics park at the gathering place, killing six soldiers and stealing weapons and supplies."

Starlight shocked: "Really?" It seemed a bit lawless. Looking at this, Nightmare’s death might not necessarily be a bad thing for him. What truly shocked Starlight was not that Nightmare hadn’t reported it, but that no one had told him what the field agents had done.

Starlight explained: "I’ve always adopted a conciliatory policy; anyone who wants to join my base can, as long as they meet certain conditions. I’m not clear on what the field agents are doing, I can guess some, but you understand, I don’t want to know too much. But I didn’t expect Nightmare to provoke East Base."

Starlight said: "Please convey my apology to Veteran Base, our Library Base has no ill intentions towards them, and no interest in the so-called arsenal. Inside our controlled territory, anyone willing to join us can, and those who don’t want to, as long as they don’t provoke us, there won’t be conflicts."

Nightmare answered: "Okay."

Starlight asked: "Do you have any news about Stone and the others?"

Nightmare replied: "No, they probably wouldn’t enter Hardcore Mode, right?"

Starlight said: "Stone might not, but Lin Wu definitely will go to Hardcore Mode. He won’t turn back until he hits a dead-end. Shana might also take the chance. Lin Wu should have a few people with him."

Nightmare frankly said: "With all due respect, with Lin Wu’s points, I’m afraid you can’t surpass him, even if you keep doing missions."

Stone laughed: "Haha, I didn’t mean that, with my points, sure I can’t top the leaderboard, but I’m much stronger than many others, hence my interest in points isn’t strong. I just really need helpers; if they could join my base, we could collaborate and create a perfect refuge for Earth people."

Nightmare said: "I don’t think so, if they are all there, and Stone wants to be the Boss, whether you allow it or not, it’s awkward."

Starlight: "That’s great, I’m happy to take a supporting role."

Nightmare looked at Lin Wu for a signal, and asked: "How many Blue Star people do you have? Peanut? Emerald Feather?"

Starlight said: "Emerald Feather didn’t enter Hardcore Mode, just Peanut and three other brothers. Okay then, if you see Shadow and others, leave them my phone number. Do you have paper and pen? Note this down." Starlight gave another phone number.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye and hung up.

Nightmare returned the satellite phone to Maya, saying: "I don’t like Starlight as a person, but I quite like her work style. How to put it? She has a bit of an Emperor vibe."
