Chapter 728: Quiet arrangements

Faced with Sheyan’s interrogation, Captain Miličić lowered his head, and took a long while before answering reluctantly.

”Ushuaia, City Hall. 3rd avenue on the 12th street. The 7th building, 11th floor, 2nd apartment.”

Sheyan glanced at Zi and Zi nodded once again. He then laughed heartily and slapped Captain Miličić’s shoulder.

”Well done lad, you can go have your rest now. Oh right, remember to get a nice bath and change to a set of clean clothes. The bloodstains on your uniform may be contaminated!”

Seeing the four humans acquiring the information they wanted but not turning hostile, Miličić immediately calmed down. Without adding a single word, he quickly got rid of his remaining underwear, and didn’t forget to offer a polite farewell despite being in an unappropriate state. Afterwards, he rushed towards a dark corner, but after 50-60 metres later, he returned and exclaimed.

”Now I believe you didn’t harbour malicious intentions, Major Seaman. Someone will ask for a code at the district entrance, you must answer ’looking for Madam Noah’. If the answer is wrong, Lieutenant Colonel Wester will flee immediately.”

Sheyan didn’t expect this brat to reserve this hand and smiled.

”Many thanks for your trust, my friend. I promise Wester will be safe.”

As if relieved from a huge burden, Miličić finally departed.

Frankly speaking, Sheyan was equally puzzled. Why could Captain Miličić recognize that he was Major Seaman? Yet why didn’t Abreu and Ache recognize him?

After careful deliberations, he realized this issue – perhaps it was linked to him spontaneously introducing himself to storyline characters. Abreu and Ache didn’t even know his name and naturally didn’t dare to ask, obviously they couldn’t decipher his well-known reputation.

Zi then interrupted with a calm tone.

”We need to seize the time. Ushuaia is nearly a thousand kilometres from here with at least a stretch of 400 kilometres of desert, making it susceptible to aggression from savage dinosaurs. More crucially, those two members of Skull Party are nearly half an hour ahead of us.”

Sheyan chuckled in response.

”Oh, not that long actually. If I were them, there would still be many things I need to do; for example, finding a suitable transport or to ruin other modes of high speed transport that we may use…...these would waste about half an hour of time. According to their plan, we have no choice but to traverse the desert with inefficient vehicles, leaving us pathetically tailing behind.”

Just when his words faded, a chain of intensive explosions resounded from the southern region of base 13 city!! In a flash, a blazing red eyed the skies.

Zi naturally remembered that that should be the automobile industry region of base 13 city.

This twist of events instantly caused ripples throughout the entire city. Many civilians believed it was a raid by the military and immediately fled with their personal vehicles. The whole city fell into disarray; like a bowl of boiling soup, it became utterly chaotic.

With such conditions, buying a classic antique vehicle would even cost a massive fee.

Zi couldn’t help but anxiously glance at Sheyan with her brows knitted. Yet after noticing his rather confident demeanor, an unspeakable sense of security calmed instantly calmed her mind.

On the contrary, she began to feel fear. She had always been the figurehead and pillar, yet why did she have to rely on others to live now? Thinking of that, memories of her childhood slowly overflowed the depths of her heart and pricked her deeply...

”Oh, it’s about 1:17 in the morning, we still have adequate time.” Sheyan casually muttered. ”Zi, do you have anything else you need to prepare?”

The confused Zi answered.

”Us? Setting off now? Those two from the Skull Party definitely wouldn’t leave behind any favourable means of transport! Furthermore, what vehicle can we acquire now...even if we reach our destination, it is impossible to obtain the primary clues. We can’t possibly be going by foot right?”

Sheyan smiled lightly and replied.

”Of course not, they’re probably thinking we would surely be later than them eh?”

At present, Zi was starting to understand something and nodded.

”That’s right.”

Sheyan snickered as his eyes turned incisive.

”This coincidentally fits our ideal scenario. In this manner, once we arrive at Ushuaia first, we can establish our sequence of ploys and snares without arousing their suspicions, before…...expanding my next arrangement! This is also the main reason I didn’t want a confrontation with them! Of course, I still have several doubts I need to clear up with you. I hope you will answer me honestly, if you can’t say, then decline to answer.”

Zi indifferently replied.

”Ask.”

Sheyan pondered a little before starting.

”Do you still have other forces in this world?”

Zi shook her head and responded despondently.

”Not anymore. I had a friend named Aldaris in Glory Party previously. He was the one who rescued me in the nick of time. However, that led to him being surrounded where he was forced to activate an item to leave this world.”

Sheyan nodded and continued.

”Glory Party seems to possess the means to track you down constantly right? Otherwise, your party could’ve divided and escape.”

Zi gritted her teeth and resentfully uttered.

”It’s Finarsih, also known as Zeus’ eyes. He possesses an exceedingly rare prophesying ability, and issued a prophesying curse on each core member of my party. Hence, he can predict each of our estimated positions periodically.”

”Good.” Sheyan nodded faintly.

”Finarsih is that brat with the nose ring eh? Very good, wonderful. Things are developing perfectly according to my deduction. Zi, I probably have to exploit your secret cell at the outskirts of base 13 city. Apart from that, we need to make some preparations. There’ll be a need for some blood to lure their greedy hearts. As long as the incentives are sufficient, we can muddle their eyes to the danger at hand...”

While speaking, Sheyan shockingly produced two items in his hands.

Two invaluable materials!!

The two ’A’ rank materials – ’Shadowdrill Claw’ and ’Shadowdrill Deinonychus Blood Crystal’!!

**********************

Ten minutes later.

With everything settled, Sheyan assembled with the others.

From his personal storage, he retrieved a basin-sized brown egg. Burying it beneath the ground, he proceeded to water it.

Their current location was relatively remote and nobody witnessed this scene.

Very quickly, a large earthen mound protruded up. The mound even trembled with a rhythmic heartbeat tempo.

Two minutes later, the earthen mound swelled up and fissured with a crackle. A foul stench permeated out with the splatter of fishy fluids.

Once again, an arachnid Overlord surfaced before the contestant quartet.

Sheyan climbed into the hollow cavity of the arachnid Overlord first before the rest slipped in like fishes. The climbing tentacles of the Overlord soon retracted, and this horrifying jellyfish-like gigantic creature that lacked offensive capabilities swiftly floated into the air. Then, it swiftly sped towards the city of Ushuaia.

Sheyan was familiar by now. Allowing this Overlord to fly with rapid velocity would undoubtedly consume a massive amount of its energy. Without any means to replenish the Overlord’s energy, this was equivalent to combusting its life force.

Nevertheless, such a flying speed would suffice to cover a thousand kilometres. Of course, if the Overmind or the Mother was present, it would be able to further increase its velocity by 40%.

Meanwhile, the two females of Skull Party, Plague and Patrice, though they possessed the most optimal vehicle with the mightiest horsepower, travelling at 200 km/hour over such a harsh terrain would already be heaven defying.

Anyway, Sheyan believed that after settling the affair with Lieutenant Colonel Wester, he would have at least 2-3 hours left to establish his own plans. In his calculations, such an immense amount of time was surely sufficient.

An hour and fifty minutes later, the gang of four was already exploring the brightly lighted Ushuaia city.

After they had descended onto a forest near a highway, Sheyan brutally abandoned the dying Overlord. In a flash, it dissolved into sticky bodily substance and bubbles.

Henceforth, if he ever wanted to replenish this mode of speedy and environmentally friendly transport, he would have to visit the Starship Troopers World or the Avatar World again.

Without expending much effort, the gang flagged a vehicle along the road and sped off for the third avenue 12th street of Ushuaia City Hall’s 3rd avenue.

Upon reaching the destination, Sheyan immediately felt that Lieutenant Colonel Wester was definitely sick of living. The place was utterly devoid of any sense of security.

This was also because this residential area was located in a district analogous to China’s government compound. Many government officials lived here while a police station was merely a hundred metres away.

Evidently, should any incident happen, the police could rush over at first notice.

The gang of four alighted at the designated residential house. Following Captain Miličić’s instruction, they asked the security guard for Madam Noah.

However, the security guard glared angrily.

Indeed, this was due to the time. It was currently three in the wee hours of the morning! Who would visit at such a time of the day?

”You guys are looking for Madam Noah now?”

The guard’s hand reached beneath his desk. The suspicion in his eyes was filled to the maximum. Concurrently, few others who were serving the indoor night shift noticed the situation here and appeared additionally cautious.

Of course, to the gang of four, settling this security guard would be effortless. Instead, Lieutenant Colonel Wester was probably an incredibly cautious fella.

Just in case, inadvertently alerting the enemy would bring about a failure at the final hurdle, but instead create further complications.
