When Lin Yuan finished the last bit of his supplement, it seemed they were finally ready to proceed with a plan that appeared nearly impossible to accomplish.
However, at that moment, Oak Shield suddenly stood up and said, "Even if we resolve these three points, it is still far from enough. There are eleven of us in total, and to prevent anyone from harboring ill intentions, I believe it's necessary to establish some rules and designate a true leader. Does anyone have any objections?"
"To hell with that! I won't take orders from you!" Crow was the first to shout.
"Say that again if you dare! Don't think I need you, you brute! I'm just as good at teaching lessons as anyone else. Don't forget about that Spatial Distortion Black Hole Grenade. If you truly believe freedom is more valuable than life, I won't hesitate to return you to your freedom!" Oak Shield retorted coldly.
Crow hesitated for a moment and then fell silent. Although he had a bad temper, he was not a fool.
"Crimson Fox, what about you? Do you need me to repeat myself?" Oak Shield turned his gaze toward Crimson Fox.
"I have no objections. As long as you give me the chance to recover my Health Points and repair my Mechanical Body, I am willing to comply with any reasonable orders. For instance, teaching that noisy Crow a lesson would be acceptable. But be careful; don't give me the opportunity to turn the tables on you, or I will make your life a living hell!"
"Hahaha! I love what you just said and always welcome you to try and take me down. However, you won't get that chance now, so just behave and listen. If we can escape this damned RZ Planet and return to Mechanical City, I might even consider letting you go!" Oak Shield was quite satisfied; this was the effect he wanted. Now that both Crow and Crimson Fox were under his control with the threat of the Spatial Distortion Black Hole Grenade, his confidence soared.
"Lord Oak Shield, you know that my family's friendship with yours has always been long-standing. If I don't help you, who else would I assist?"
Next, without needing Oak Shield to speak further, Giant Ant was the first to pledge loyalty, followed by f-Snake Demon. As for Sarkozy, there was no need; he was already one of Oak Shield's subordinates.
"Then next, Lord Papaya, what do you and your friends think?" Oak Shield asked calmly with a smile, resembling a polite gentleman while delivering an unmistakable threat.
"We will choose to obey your orders as long as they are reasonable and do not put us in extreme danger. You should be satisfied with this answer," Lin Yuan replied predictably.
"Very good! In fact, everyone should understand that my actions are merely to prevent a repeat of the previous disastrous situation. Regardless of what happens, until we escape RZ Planet and return to Mechanical City, we must remain loyal to each other because we have no real conflicts of interest here. Now then, let me outline our next mission plan. According to our previous strategy, we need to tackle this from three angles. The first is monitoring the Zerg and devising an enticing plan for them. For this part, I suggest Hal take charge since your movements are the fastest. Of course, the specific implementation will depend on our progress in digging the tunnel."
"The second part involves digging the tunnel. I recommend that Crimson Fox and Crow handle this task along with Lord Papaya. That blue-light quality Assault Longsword in your possession would be a tremendous waste if not utilized properly. But don't worry; I can ensure no one will covet that Blue Light Weapon. Additionally, Thomas, Fat Three, f-Snake Demon, Giant Ant, and Sarkozy will all need to join this tunneling mission while Bison and I will stand guard outside the tunnel and set up Gravitational Fields to disrupt the Zerg's search."
"The third part involves us launching a swift surprise attack once we've infiltrated the fortress from behind to seize the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter. Papaya, you'll need to keep a close watch on this aspect. Alright then, let's get moving immediately."
At this moment, with clear divisions of labor established, everyone hesitated for a moment. It was Crimson Fox who first took out a delicate instrument. Within this device, they could clearly see the direction of the fissure underground in the fortress and its precise exit. With this instrument's markings, they would avoid making mistakes in their excavation.
Of course, it piqued everyone's curiosity that Crimson Fox had left such a contingency plan days in advance. Did he foresee today's events?
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan quickened his pace, hastily repairing the Mechanical Bodies of Crimson Fox and the Crow. Although they were not yet capable of high-intensity combat, digging tunnels was still within their capabilities.
It was worth mentioning that both Crimson Fox and the Crow had their total Health Points reach the significant threshold of 800 points. However, after the previous ambush, each was left with less than three hundred points. Without logistical support from a medical Tank, their daily recovery of Health Points was only one hundred. This was also the main reason why Oak Shield felt confident using them boldly.
Even if the Spatial Distortion Black Hole Grenade had been neutralized, Oak Shield was confident he could take down the weakened Crimson Fox. After all, he was an e5 level Heavy Shield Defender, one of the six major classes. To eliminate someone like Crimson Fox, known for his terrifying sniping skills, he would need to fire at least ten shots without returning fire himself.
Thus, within this temporary team of eleven, a superficial balance had indeed formed.
Next, everything proceeded normally; no one slacked off as they diligently performed their tasks. Lin Yuan led the charge with his Assault Longsword, breaking through to excavate the tunnel. Despite the rock's Enhancement Level being around twenty to thirty points, it crumbled like tofu under the might of the Assault Longsword. On average, they could easily advance a hundred meters per hour.
Of course, things wouldn't be so simple. The fortress had been built from everyone's wisdom and hard work; it featured sealed outer walls and a completely sealed ground surface. A straightforward assault would not be easy.
Without the target guidance left by Crimson Fox, the difficulty of digging the tunnel would have increased severalfold.
At the same time, Lin Yuan closely monitored the repair status of the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter Wreckage. He didn't hold back anything and directly shared the three-dimensional simulation data analysis of the repairs with everyone. Each person could see in real-time how the repairs on the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter were progressing.
Of course, this wasn't a live repair but rather a detailed model created by Lin Yuan, allowing them to visualize the repair process intuitively.
It must be noted that Anson's repair methods gained recognition from Oak Shield and others. Even though he had become an enemy, his rapid repair speed was still impressive and came with a hint of teasing towards Lin Yuan's maintenance skills.
Indeed, it was merely teasing; unless someone was bored or intentionally trying to provoke him, no one wanted to indulge in vanity over such a topic or complicate matters at this critical juncture.
On another front, Hal had also completed his task well, drawing large numbers of Zerg to attack beneath the fortress walls day and night.
Everything went smoothly; it felt almost as if an invisible hand was secretly assisting them from behind the scenes.
There was only one exception: the information returned by Hal was somewhat strange. Despite facing a massive attack from the Zerg, there had been no counterattacks from the fortress—not even once. It was known that there were at least sixty-five people inside the fortress. Sir K150 would never allow the Zerg to rampage against the fortress without resistance. Even deploying thirty mercenaries for a counterattack could buy them some time, especially since, according to Lin Yuan's Vibration Detector, the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter Wreckage had yet to be repaired even halfway.
"This situation is suspicious! Very suspicious!"
At that moment, deep within the underground passage, Oak Shield spoke in a low voice. The entrance to this excavated tunnel had been cleverly sealed off, with all the excavated rocks piled directly behind them. Only a few key points outside were left with imaging devices to monitor the current progress of events.
In other words, Lin Yuan and everyone else had no way out now.
"Why hasn't Sir K150 sent mercenaries to guard the fortress? This doesn't make sense! He should need time more than ever, yet he hasn't sent anyone to stall for time. Something is off; there must be some aspect I've overlooked!"
Oak Shield pondered, appearing every bit the wise man.
"Boss, could it be that there's been infighting within the fortress, just as we previously speculated? Every fifteen people forming a group to compete for the crew position of the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter Wreckage," Giant Ant suggested at that moment.
"Your reasoning is flawed and simply doesn't hold up. Think about it: since Sir K150's internal purge involved one of the three killed by Crimson Fox, when he relayed information back about the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter Wreckage, would he only inform Sir K150 or would he notify everyone?"
"Of course, he would only inform Sir K150. No fool would choose to notify everyone; that's common sense!" F-Snake Demon chimed in.
"Exactly, that's the crux of the issue. Since only Sir K150 knows this information, he would naturally find a way to keep it from others. So how could infighting occur? Instead, Sir K150 would seek to win over others and have them stall for him—that aligns with normal logic. However, given the current situation, this makes little sense. In this world, there are no illogical occurrences. Therefore, the only explanation is that I've overlooked some very important detail or that someone—a true puppet master—has released false information to mislead us," Oak Shield continued his analysis.
