240: New ideas
“No? Where is she?”
When Zhang Yu saw Lu Xueqing disappear, he immediately started pacing in a circle, anxious.
He had just promised Xiao Yun to protect Lu Xueqing’s safety, but the next second, before he had even searched a few containers, she had vanished right under his nose?
If anything happened to her, how was he going to explain it to Xiao Yun!
“Xiao Yun’s apprentice, his apprentice! Where did you go!”
Zhang Yu quickly ran and shouted.
However, to his surprise, as soon as he ran into the corridor, he saw Lu Xueqing poking her head out from a room on the first floor.
“What’s wrong? Did you find anything good?”
“No…”
“Oh, then hurry up and search. I estimate Master will be back soon.”
Saying that, Lu Xueqing also retracted her head and continued her search.
Seeing her complete lack of vigilance, Zhang Yu couldn't help but worry for her.
Although the West Building’s second floor had been cleared, the information about other areas was still unknown. If she ran around like this, what if she encountered Shu Shu lurking in a small room on the first floor?
“Oh, right, there’s a Key Room here. Do you want to come over and see if you can open it?”
As Lu Xueqing searched, she poked her head out again and spoke to Zhang Yu.
The place she was referring to was the abandoned exhibition hall of the Museum.
Inside, there was a large safe, a yellow box, and a large medical supply pile, as well as two glass counters that were open-air material refresh points. If the door could be opened, they might find something good inside.
“His apprentice, don’t run around! What if you encounter someone?”
Zhang Yu quickly went downstairs, expressing his concerns at the same time.
“Don’t be afraid. Didn’t Master say that the West Building is safe and he has already cleared it?”
Lu Xueqing stood in front of the abandoned exhibition hall door and waved to Zhang Yu, signaling him to come and open the door.
“Do you really trust your Master that much?”
Zhang Yu frowned, sounding a bit doubtful.
While he trusted Xiao Yun’s strength, ever since they entered the Museum, they had only been to the basement and second floor of this West Building. Information about other areas was completely unknown.
Even if Xiao Yun had checked every place with movement, there could still be mistakes.
After all, in this Confidential Difficulty Baksh, the teams that entered were all more cunning than the last.
Perhaps a team was hidden in some small room, ready to surprise you with a burst of bullets and put you in your place.
However, what Zhang Yu didn’t expect was this.
Lu Xueqing nodded silently, her actions filled with trust in Xiao Yun.
“Yes, Master is very powerful. Even if he hasn’t seen the specific situation of all locations, he can still know the surrounding information.”
“He can collect information without seeing it himself? What, did your Master turn on wallhacks?”
Zhang Yu’s eyelid twitched; he clearly still didn’t believe it.
“Of course not! Collecting information in the Restricted Zone isn’t really about seeing with your eyes. It’s mainly about hearing. If you wear a hearing helmet, the effect is even more obvious. You can hear a lot of information before you even see it.”
Lu Xueqing smiled faintly, explaining.
Collecting information by hearing?
Upon hearing this keyword, Zhang Yu also nodded silently.
Indeed, before, when he brought that store alarm into the Restricted Zone, he also relied on collecting the sounds it emitted to obtain information.
It was just an unintentional act by Zhang Yu at the time, but now that Lu Xueqing mentioned it, he realized the crucial point of the problem.
“Now that you mention it, I have a new idea…”
Zhang Yu was seen stroking his chin with one hand, as if deep in thought.
“Oh, don’t think about it yet! Try to open this Key Room first.”
Seeing him start to ponder, Lu Xueqing urged him.
The two of them were currently in the Restricted Zone, and in the most dangerous area of Baksh.
At such a time, the most taboo thing was to think about matters unrelated to the Restricted Zone.
“Okay, I’ll try.”
Saying that, Zhang Yu also stopped thinking.
He pulled out the tool kit from his backpack and began tinkering in front of the abandoned exhibition hall door.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In Blue Tune Mountain City, several Asala Soldiers were lurking in a corner, observing the location of a manhole cover not far away.
“Akman, do we really need to be this vigilant?”
One of the soldiers, observing, suddenly asked.
Originally, the five of them were sitting inside a house in the mountain city, playing cards with great enjoyment.
But Akman was worried that the supplies he had hidden in the manhole cover would be stolen again by a GTI agent, so he decided to stand guard.
Seeing this, the others also felt awkward continuing to play.
Otherwise, if Akman encountered any danger outside, they wouldn’t even be able to provide support.
Akman was the best shot in their small team. Although his weapon was a shotgun, he got headshots with every shot and even brought two different types of bullets, allowing him to spray at close range and snipe from a distance.
Many Diamond Level agents had fallen under his shotgun.
“I still feel like something’s not right.”
Akman frowned slightly, a gloomy expression on his handsome face.
“If that GTI agent from the last round successfully retreated, there’s a high probability he’ll come again this round.”
Akman said coldly, his face grim.
The recent theft of hidden supplies in the Restricted Zone had also occurred simultaneously in two different numbered Restricted Zones.
Besides this Baksh where Akman was, there was also a Dam No. 0 where his younger brother was.
And after inquiring with others, it seemed that no such incidents had occurred in other Restricted Zones.
Akman always felt that things wouldn’t be such a coincidence. The theft of supplies hidden by the soldiers might involve some hidden conspiracy.
However, he couldn’t yet confirm whether this matter was discovered by GTI themselves, or if there was an insider within Asala.
Or even, if Hafk agents had taken this intelligence and made some kind of deal with GTI, gaining benefits from it.
Akman had thought about it all night yesterday, but there were too many possibilities for this matter, and his mind was a tangled mess at the moment.
And waiting idly certainly didn’t fit his personality, so he decided to take the initiative.
“If someone comes to search the manhole cover, we’ll find a way to catch him and ask him clearly who leaked the information.”
“That doesn’t quite comply with regulations, does it?”
Hearing Akman’s words, the soldiers nearby looked worried.
After all, according to the terms of the Restricted Zone Protocol, ordinary people from the two worlds could not have any communication.
According to the rules of their world, if they violated the terms, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to be directly shot by the boss when they returned!
“What are you afraid of? Anyway, I think GTI violated the Restricted Zone Protocol first. Are we afraid they’ll complain?”
“This… Anyway, I won’t make a move.”
“Me too, I won’t do anything illegal.”
The others nodded repeatedly, all deciding not to interfere in such matters.
Losing privately hidden supplies was one thing, but violating the Restricted Zone Protocol could cost them their heads!
Seeing this, Akman also sighed.
This bunch, not one of them had any guts.
“Old Sara, what about you?”
Three of them had stated their positions, leaving only the veteran Old Sara. Akman then asked for his opinion.
However, after a long pause, the other party did not respond.
“Old Sara?”
