283: Top-level meeting

“As far as I know, whether it’s Hafk or Asala, you’re currently the focus of their discussions.”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. How do they know my name?”

Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

“Your teammates all call you that. It’d be strange if they didn’t know.”

“Alright, wait, have I asked a similar question before?”

“You asking me?”

The Doctor glanced at Xiao Yun, a bit helpless.

Although this guy was powerful, he always seemed a bit simple-minded.

“Fine, whatever. Let them discuss if they want, as long as it doesn’t delay my loot run.”

With that, Xiao Yun silently headed towards the extraction point.

However, the Doctor looked at his retreating back and sighed softly.

“Alas… hard to say!”

……

In another world.

Hafk Headquarters, in the Thousand-Person Conference Room.

Rows of curved seats were filled with Hafk’s high-ranking members. Their expressions varied, but the one thing they all had in common was a splash-type brain-computer interface installed on their heads.

“GTI’s recent actions are a bit strange.”

From the main seat, a man whose entire body had been mechanically modified, with a modification rate exceeding 85%, spoke.

“I heard their operatives not only breached the safe in Babel Tower Restricted Area 93 in violation of their contract, but also defeated a hundred-person unit, and after completing this series of actions, they were even able to safely withdraw from the restricted area…”

“A bunch of useless things, they can’t even handle an emergency!”

“I heard Asala also experienced a similar situation, and it seems to be even more serious than ours.”

“I knew GTI wouldn’t act according to the agreement. They always manage to cause trouble.”

“After all, they have the ability to influence three worlds. After developing for so long, it would be a disservice to their influence if they didn’t do something.”

“Who is in charge of Dragon Country Restricted Area 94?”

“That would be me.”

A man wearing a gray pilot’s uniform, with no traces of mechanical modification on his body except for the brain-computer interface, answered.

He was a Blue Eagle Fighter pilot, but now in the real world, his appearance was different from how he looked in the restricted area.

Seeing him stand up, everyone simultaneously fell silent, wanting to hear his explanation.

“What I’m about to say, please don’t be afraid…”

The man spoke calmly.

Then, he described everything he had seen and heard over the past two days to the people present.

“There’s a monster in the restricted area. He looks like an ordinary person, but he can use the abilities of various GTI special operations operatives. Even a Blue Eagle Fighter couldn’t withstand one of his shots. I heard his name seems to be Xiao Yun…”

“Xiao Yun?”

“Never heard of him. Does GTI have such a person?”

“I just checked. He seems to be a young man who recently entered the restricted area.”

“No way, he’s that strong right after entering the restricted area?”

Everyone was discussing, and the mechanical man sitting in the main seat also frowned slightly.

“In any case, we still need to be vigilant about similar occurrences. Perhaps we need to take some special measures to reduce losses, especially… in the Aerospace Base Area.”

……

At the same time, on the other side.

Asala Headquarters, in the underground conference room.

Similar to Hafk, thousands of people were seated on the ground, preparing for the meeting.

However, unlike Hafk, the light here was dim, making it impossible to see everyone’s faces.

From the discussions, it seemed that Asala had also concluded their discussion.

“Starting tomorrow, increase troop strength in Dragon Country Restricted Area 94 and Restricted Area 137. Since GTI violated the agreement first, there’s no need for us to cooperate!”

“Yes!”

……

“Current location: Baksh - Babel Tower Area Apron.”

“Current drop rate: Classified”

“Current game end time: 24 minutes 56 seconds”

“Hint: Please complete extraction before time runs out!”

Inside the restricted area.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was still unaware of the meeting contents of both Hafk and Asala.

He simply silently sent the Doctor onto the helicopter, then opened a few supply points in the hidden material room, and prepared to extract.

As expected, these supply points didn’t yield anything good.

He only found a medal and a big dagger from the large safe, barely pushing his current run’s earnings to exactly three million.

“If the drop rate stays like this, I’m going to start a losing streak!”

Xiao Yun walked to the extraction point, feeling a bit helpless.

Why was the restricted area’s drop rate so low after Lu Xueqing left? It shouldn’t be!

However, it was also true that he hadn't searched many places in this match.

He only searched Babel Tower and didn't search other places. Three million in earnings was still quite considerable.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun didn't complain much and prepared to extract directly.

“Hey! Xiao Yun, why are you running so fast!”

Just then, Jian Fei and Du Le also appeared near the entrance of the Babel Tower Area.

The two rushed towards the extraction point, especially Du Le, who directly threw two satchels at his feet, no longer bothering to hide his acceleration.

“Why are you here?”

Xiao Yun was a bit surprised.

“We saw you running over with the Doctor earlier!”

“Alright, then let’s extract together.”

“Mm, by the way, Xiao Yun, don’t rush to extract. Did you find anything good this run?”

Jian Fei suddenly asked.

“Good things, you mean?”

“big red, big red!”

Jian Fei laughed.

“Actually, when we asked you to team up, we had another small request. If you find a big red, could you sell it directly to us? We can transfer it directly in the restricted area, and then we’ll wire you the money after we get out.”

“Why?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun was also a bit puzzled.

The fixed price of a big red was dozens of times more expensive than its value in the extraction statistics. As professional operatives, they couldn’t possibly not know this.

Under normal circumstances, if operatives didn’t find a big red themselves, there was no need to insist on it.

After all, buying a big red had no use for operatives. They didn’t research technology or exchange for Special Operations Department supplies.

Seeing Xiao Yun’s confusion, Jian Fei sighed helplessly, then began to explain.

“Alas, speaking of which, Brother Xiao Yun, you don’t know our difficulties.”
