Chapter 663: A Chance Encounter

and casually replied:"Yes!"Then he walked over and lay down on the chair."Lord, please choose a meditation environment.""The sea!"Okay!Please select a meditation background music."The sound of the wav...William, being accustomed to getting his way, didn't want to wait in line. He simply walked up to the guard and said a few words before beckoning Carter and his five companions over with a wave of his hand.

The guard asked excitedly at this time:

"You said that you exterminated the swarm of black mosquitoes in Haotian Town"

"Yes!"

Carter gave a positive reply.

The guard rubbed his hands together excitedly and blurted out:

Does your squad have a space-time manipulator

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their gaze to Ripple, who was studying the ripples in the light shield.

Is there anything else I can help you with

Carter asked directly.

"We have a mission here that requires the talents of space-ability users. We need to retrieve a weapon from an area already overtaken by the Swarm. I don't know if any of you are interested"

The guard asked directly.

"If we refuse, won't we be unable to enter the underground base"

Carter asked coldly.

Of course not.

The guard said, his expression a little unnatural.

We've taken your request.

After studying the shield enough, Ripples finally spoke.

"Really!"

The other party clearly didn't expect that this fierce squad, in the end, the one making the decisions was actually the most harmless-looking little girl.

"Can we go in now"

"Please follow me."

After the guard rose, he personally led their group of six through the protective shield and into the underground base.

The only entrance to the dungeon was on the ground, a plain brick and concrete cottage. Entering, they saw an opening in the floor with someone descending down the stairs.

"Come with me."

The guards still led the way ahead, and the group walked down a spiral staircase for a full five minutes before reaching a place similar to an underground station.

Many people were queuing here, with guards patrolling back and forth with guns nearby. Soon, a car slowly stopped at the platform, and four orderly teams of people got on board in turn.

The guard led Ripples and her group onto a carriage where no one was waiting. The patrol squad glanced curiously at the six of them, then lost interest. After the door closed, Ripples discovered that there were more than just them in this carriage; she also saw an old acquaintance.

Ripples smiled and walked over slowly, sitting beside the other person and laughing as she said:

"Long time no see!"

And praying that the ripples wouldn't see his cowboy, he could only grit his teeth and stand up, respectfully saying:

"Hello, Ms. Ripple, long time no see!"

"How did you take on this task"

The ripples asked gently.

"My last mission failed, and my level dropped. I could only choose a random game level, and that's how I ended up here."

"Didn't you form a team"

Ripple knew the answer but asked anyway.

"Alright, here are my teammates."

The cowboy pointed at the eight of them who were curiously watching, and still respectfully replied, "It's just that I was afraid that if Ripples disagreed with me, she would kill me."

You got here before us, is this underground base fun

Ripple adopted a nonchalant attitude and continued to ask.

Those who can enter here are all strong, the tasks they publish are more difficult, but the rewards are abundant. Before being invaded by the alien insect race, this place was a research base specializing in warfare weapons, so it withstood the first wave of insect attacks.

After that, many people came to seek refuge in the underground base. Besides the safety it offered, it also had advanced weapons that were suitable for us to use.”

"I see."

The ripples nodded their heads, then said again:

"We have a mission. Are you and your team interested in joining"

The cowboy glanced at the ripples, then quickly lowered his eyes, asking somewhat uncertainly:

"What task is this" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"It seems like we're going to a place overrun by the Zerg to retrieve a weapon."

"Ahem, Miss, we've already taken on another assignment and are afraid we can't team up with you."

When the cowboy hesitated on how to refuse, his teammate finally spoke up to help him out.

"Is that so That's a pity. I hope we have the opportunity to collaborate next time."

Of course.

At this point, the car came to a stop. The cowboy politely bid farewell to Ripple and his companions, getting off the vehicle first along with his teammates. Ripple and the others did not disembark, but instead continued on to the next destination.

"Cowboy, who was that woman just now Why were you so afraid of her"

The cowboy's companion curiously asked.

"She's a real demon, you guys better steer clear of her if you see her. All my previous teammates ended up dead at her hands. If I hadn't made the quick decision to leave the game level, I would have been gone too."

The cowboy gritted his teeth and said, he never expected to run into the other party here.

"So impressive You don't look as ferocious as you said."

"Humph, don't believe me You can try it yourselves. When she almost wiped out our team, she was still a new player. The only other new player who entered with her survived. I say, isn't that brutal"

Although the cowboy desperately wanted to save face, he had to admit that he didn't want to go through that again. He also didn't want his newly joined squad to get involved with Ripple out of curiosity.

"Let's go! Let's turn in our mission, they went somewhere that's obviously different from us, their mission must be no easy feat."

The new captain spoke, and that's when everyone left the platform.

On the other side, the ripples also arrived at their stop and disembarked. The man led them to a separate hall to register, then brought them to an empty room to wait for a moment.

The room's walls were pure white, with only a table and a few chairs. Ripple sat down wherever he pleased, while the others either leaned against or stood along the wall, with no one else taking a seat.

After sitting down, Ripple turned to the surveillance camera in the corner and flashed a harmless smile. The next second, the monitor screen was filled with static.

What's the matter

The person in the monitoring room immediately frowned and asked.

"Someone destroyed the monitor."

But those people did not come closer.

"Do you think they need to be close to the monitor to destroy it"

“This”

"I'm going to report this to my superiors, see if you can get a listening device activated."

"Yes!"

Several people in the room watched helplessly as ripples destroyed the monitor, but none of them tried to stop it. They hated being monitored like this.

"Miss Ripple, their mission this time is probably not simple. They are doing a screening."

Carter spoke in a low voice.

I liked their light curtain shield. I'll try to get one later, so it's convenient for us to stay outside.

The ripples, however, responded with something completely unrelated to the wind and horses.

"Okay, I'll bring that up to them as a reward for completing the task."

Carter immediately said.

Ripples raised a hand to her lips, making a shushing gesture. Carter closed his mouth.

An hour later, someone opened the door, glanced at everyone, and then said:

"Members of Carter's squad, follow me."

After turning and winding for ten minutes, the group of six entered an office. Greeting them was a middle-aged man in a white coat.any blossoms.
