Chapter 494: Covert Operation
"This ...... The World Tree's health is not yet good, and we also consider that the content of this operation is also relatively large, and for the sake of his health, we will not let him participate in it first. A commander said.
"Yes, there is also that, we have just come from the intensive care unit, the ghost is doing very well in the past few days, at the beginning, the conclusion given by the medical department is that he may even become a vegetative person, but now, his brain wave activity has become more and more frequent in the past few days, and all signs indicate that he may wake up at any time, let the World Tree stay at home, on the one hand, let him watch the house, and on the other hand, if the ghost wakes up, let the World Tree accompany him." Said another commander.
Hades and Gaia nodded at the same time, but it was not known whether they acquiesced to such a statement or chose to "appoint".
"If there are so many things, if only the two of us go to find them, if we pursue efficiency, we will split up and act, can the headquarters send a few team members? I think it's too inefficient for us to go out and look for something, but if we can give a few team members, let them help with the things, and the two of us act as bodyguards, so that the efficiency can be improved. Hades suggested.
"This ...... We've thought about it, but now we can discuss it together, the retinue can be brought, but the two of you think, how many people can be brought to ensure concealment? ”
Hades then slapped himself on the head, "Oh yes...... Why didn't I think of that...... Concealment must also be ensured. ”
The commander on the opposite side immediately laughed, "Yes, concealment is also a problem that we need to pay attention to the most, and both of us also knew in the previous meeting, now is the most vulnerable time for our Mill Institute, and the reason why we have been able to survive until now is mainly because we have not yet exposed our position in front of the enemy, but if this position is exposed, our only advantage will be lost, and it may even lead to the enemy attacking us." ”
The Immortal then turned his gaze back to Gaia, "Are you going to join me, or are we going our separate ways?" ”
"I, I, I...... I obey your arrangement, and I will ......do whatever you tell me to do" Gaia couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"No, this time the initiative is in the hands of the two of you, if you can ensure the concealment, even if you want twenty people, we will gladly agree."
As soon as the commander on the other side said this, Gaia was even more confused.
"Otherwise, the two of us focus on efficiency, one person with two entourage, you go to find medicine, there are enough pharmacies nearby, last time I helped you plan the map with the World Tree, I also saw that some nearby pharmacies have not been looted, these drugs should not be difficult to find, I also took two people to find energy and survival materials." Hades consulted with Gaia.
"But there are so many things in these two columns, can you take the two of you to work......" Gaia looked at the two columns of black letters under "Survival Materials" and "Survival Energy" written on the paper, and suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp.
Hades smiled bitterly, "If you complete the task ahead of schedule, join in and let's look for it together." ”
"Okay, are those two decided? One person wants two team members to form two teams of three and act separately to find supplies? ”
"Yes, then the hard command will help you find the team." Hades said.
"Okay, I'm going to help you find someone now, can you go now?" The commander finished speaking, and then got up.
"Yes." With that, Hades and Gaia followed.
This was the end of the meeting for the two of them, because there was no electricity, they could only communicate the information by word of mouth, and the other commanders were responsible for preparing for the next big meeting, and the commander personally went to help them find the team needed for the operation, leaving Hades and Gaia standing at the door of the headquarters, waiting for their team to arrive.
"This operation...... It's not easy......" Hades whispered beside Gaia.
"Of course I know it's not easy! So many things! It's just that we have to move all the useful materials in the whole city, if there are a lot of people, it's easy to do, the key is to just give us two people, it's really a bit difficult! Gaia said.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about, I mean, they don't let the World Tree participate, it's not easy." The Immortal whispered in his ear as if he were whispering.
Gaia was stunned, "yes...... It seems that they are a bit of an isolated World Tree in this matter, but what are they trying to do? Now that the ghost is gone, we are the main force of the institute, and if they isolate the World Tree again, then we will be the only ones left, shouldn't this be...... Oh no, don't you know how to read minds? Didn't you read what they meant in their minds when we had a meeting? ”
Hades smiled lightly, "I tried to see their intentions from their heads during the meeting just now, but we've been with them for so many years...... They've already figured out how to deal with my mind-reading, so ...... I didn't see anything. ”
Gaia was even more confused, "What? How else can they fight your mind-reading?! ”
The Hades still smiled, "They must have conveyed the truth to each other orally or in writing in advance, and then deliberately didn't think about it during the meeting, or distracted the current attention by thinking about some other things, when I first looked at it, half of them were thinking about what they had today and what they had for dinner, I'm afraid that's why only that commander spoke to us." ”
Gaia was stunned, "Also, there is still this operation?" Let's have a meeting, what do they want to eat today? Aren't you able to look deep into their subconscious and memories? Could it be that for so long you just saw what they ate today? ”
"No...... No, if I go deeper, I'm going to be in a meditative state, and I'm like a piece of wood, and they'll notice it, and that's too disrespectful, so I ...... You can't do that. Hades said with a dark face.
Gaia took a deep breath, "It's over...... I feel like we've been tricked by the command this time, and this is a clear trick for the two of us......"
Hades smiled bitterly, "Yes...... But...... I'm used to it, they've used it this way to avoid the prying eyes of my mind in previous meetings, and their methods are too old-fashioned...... Every time I think about what I ate today......"
Gaia smiled wryly, and then watched as the commander who had been talking to them at the meeting came over with four members of the team, who were presumably their partners on the mission.
"These four members of the Operations Department have survived the previous few catastrophes, they are all strong veterans with plenty of experience in fighting zombies, I hope you can work together happily this time." The commander said, patting them on the shoulders.
"Hello two heroes, long admiration for the name!"
The four team members shook hands with Gaia and Hades, but Hades and Gaia had black lines on their faces.
It's not because they're unhappy with the four, it's because they're ......
They actually "came prepared", only to see the four team members opposite them, each team member was carrying an extra-large travel backpack, these travel backpacks were almost hanging to the crook of their legs in the restrained state, if it was full of things, it is estimated that one bag can hold enough supplies......
"Okay, you can get acquainted with it on the road, now I'll tell you about the mission requirements for the six of you; Our mission is to ensure concealment on the premise, as far as possible to find the materials we need on paper, there are no other requirements, you should pay attention to safety on the road, try to come back before dark, in addition, in order to cooperate with your work, the command also found an old version of the city map, which should have some gas stations, supermarkets and hospital locations, but because this is a two-year-old version of the map, there may be some errors, you are only for reference. ”
With that, the commander handed over a printed list of supplies and a map of the city to Hades and Gaia, respectively.
"Okay, let the command bother, we'll do our best to complete the mission." With that, Hades winked at Gaia and his two team members, and then led the way towards the back door of the institute.
According to the map, the two of them are about to "go their separate ways" after walking out of the underground parking lot, but Gaia's task should not be very heavy, as there are many pharmacies near the institute.
But before they could get out of the underground parking lot, Gaia's voice came out of his head.
"Just now, while he wasn't paying attention, I saw some information about the World Tree in his head, and we can probably know what they asked the World Tree to do......"
Gaia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Hades, but just happened to see a trace of cunning flashing in Hades' dark pupils......
