Cooperation of impostors

"500 points is not 5000 points, so why so excited?" Hido stuffed a piece of bubble gum in his mouth and teased.

"Little girl, what do you know, it's a good lottery!" Stu said.

Sheddo shrugged and didn't say anything, but her expression was very cute.

"Team Leader Thorne.

"An unfamiliar voice came over the intercom.

"It's me!" Thorne replied.

"This is the Grey King squad mission administrator, if the whole load is completed, you can depart immediately!" "Departure confirmed!" "Roger, good luck!" "Group C depart!" Thorne ordered.

The four men, led by him, walked out of the room and Thorne walked towards the base entrance by memory.

"Group C on mission, let's go!" The concealed sentry hidden near the entrance shouted.

Thorne led the team to the street, and a middle-aged man in black, hidden in the shadows, saw them come out and immediately walked quickly.

Thorne scowled at him warily.

"He's one of our guys, the group leader.

"Stu said.

"Hi, I'm Derek!" The man introduced himself in a friendly manner, "You're the new leader of the group?" "I'm Thorne, the new leader of Group C.

""I am the impostor responsible for assisting your C-team.

"Derek said with a smile, "I will cooperate with you in this mission!" Although Thorne knew that the Grey King squad raised wolves, it was still a bit of an odd feeling to see a genuine Iron Wolf standing right in front of him and talking and laughing with him for the first time, and, he could never let go of his vigilance and wariness of the impostor.

" said as he walked.

"Thorne tried to speak in a calm tone, "How are you going to cooperate with us?" "Very simple, I have controlled three lickers, will open the way for you ahead and help you clear all the monsters, provided that that monster is not too strong, such as tyrants and so on, I will not be able to help.

", Thorne asked curiously, "What if we run into players from other teams?" "That depends on what you want.

"What you want me to do, I'll do," said impostor Derek meaningfully.

"Thorne" Oh "Oh", and continued to ask: "three lickers is a little less, right? Why don't you get more? Or add a few more dogs?" Thorne asked this question on purpose, he wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to obtain a little more information about the impostor.

He still knows very little about the impostor at the moment, and the Gray King won't tell him much for the sake of protecting the impostor's partnership.

"Oh, it's not going to work.

"Derek did not doubt him, said the truth:" Although all monsters will not actively attack the impostor, but the impostor can only control a certain type of monster, such as me, I can only control the licker, I am a third-level impostor, so I can only control three lickers! As for the dog, that thing, to be honest, the number of good, otherwise absolutely no licker powerful ah!" "That's true, the combat power of the Licker cannot be underestimated, and its hideous appearance is enough to make many new players piss their pants!" Thorne joked, he was now trying to get this wolf to let his guard down.

"Haha, right, lickers are really scary!" Derek really came to life, "You know what? When I first came to this world and learned I was an impostor, I went looking for lickers, but when I first saw them, holy crap, that look really scared the shit out of me! It was in an alley that I found the first licker, it was like a gecko, crawling on the wall, in the dim light, it was covered in blood, spitting its tongue at me, and on the ground were a few broken bodies, it looked as scary as the devil to me!" "But, you know it won't attack you.

""Granted, but it's also scary, but after spending time with it, it's not so scary anymore.

""Know how I had my first encounter with a licker?" "How?" "I had just come in not long ago, unarmed, but in order to help the squad complete their mission, I volunteered to lure away the corpses, and ended up meeting the lickers halfway.

""So how did you get away?"" Derek listened intently.

"Fight, what else can we do?" "But you have bare hands and empty fists.

""Just like you can make the licker kill the walkers, I did the same thing, I idea to draw the walkers to the licker, the latter can only hear the sound, do not know what pounced, so it helped to kill most of the walkers.

""Haha, smart!" Derek laughed, "I like dealing with smart people!" "By the way, how are you going to work with us as an impostor? Won't our missions intersect?" Thorne suddenly asked when he saw him let down his guard.

"Oh, this is simple, we impostors, especially the impostors who survive alone, without joining a squad, we are given the choice of accepting system missions or issuing our own impostor trap missions, the latter with less reward, but easier, so as long as you have a mission, I'll cooperatively set an impostor trap mission on it. The latter is less rewarding, but easier.

"Thorne nodded, sensitive to the fact that Derek had unconsciously mentioned the word 'we' in his reply.

This would seem to indicate that Derek, although not in a group, must have had close ties to other impostors, perhaps even some sort of impostor organization.

"It seems like you're playing quite well.

""No, no, no, the impostor trap mission is also very dangerous.

"The biggest variable," Derek said, waving his hands, "is that it will choose the closest squad to me to allow me to set up the trap mission.

""So you're the closest to us, won't you be sending us trap missions?"" Thorne teased.

"Haha, no, your team sent me a message about the location of the mission before it was given to you, so I rushed there first and picked one of the other teams to issue the trap mission.

""So that's how it is.

"Thorne always understood.

"And, why is your C-team called the Breaking Point Task Force?" Derek said, "A mission to grab important supplies is bound to have at least one squad going, so your opponents, naturally, become my opponents too! I'll set my trap mission to be in the same place as you guys, grabbing the same resources, so I can help you guys get the resources and you guys help me clean up the other squads, win-win ah, haha!" Thorne's heart was torn for a while.

He had always been an enemy of impostors and tried hard to help the average player, but now, after joining the Grey King squad, he actually faced a dilemma, something he had considered before joining but had no answer to, and still doesn't.

"There are walkers up ahead!" Stu, acting as a forward guard, suddenly made a warning sound, "At least ten of them!" "It's up to you.

"I'm sorry," Thorne said.

Derek smiled faintly and glanced in some dark direction down the street.

A black shadow swooped down from above a small building, and in a flash of cold light, two zombie heads landed on the ground.

The licker killed the corpses, slashing left and right, and in less than half a minute, all the zombies fell to the ground and died, scattering their limbs all over the place.

The lickers finished killing each other, left quickly, climbed a high wall and disappeared without a trace.

"How's that, still impressive, right?" Derek said smugly.

"Very well, it saved us a lot of breath.

"Thorne had to say this.

"Team leader, the intelligence section sent a message," said Pete, stepping forward, "there is a team that is progressing faster than us, and it seems that there are other impostors who are not working with our team entering the mission area!" Pete was in charge of various contacts with the team as well as the transmission of information.

Thorne nodded and turned to Derek, "The other impostors are taking business from you, what are you going to do?" "Kill him, of course!" Derek made a neck-wiping motion without mercy.

"Are you sure, that's your wolf companion?" Thorne confirmed.

"So what?" Derek shrugged and replied indifferently, "There is less meat and more wolves, only kill, and, even if you do not kill, I will find the opportunity to do so.

""Let's do it.

"Thorne said, "By the way I can earn some points.

""That won't work, will it?" Derek swept him a look, "According to our agreement with the Grey King, you are not allowed to carry check and kill props.

"Thorne understood at once: although Derek is an impostor, but not confirmed by the check and kill prop, that is, except for the hunter, any ordinary player, can not kill him.

So, to kill him, you have to check and kill first.

But then, Derek will immediately know their intentions, escape or counterattack have the opportunity.

"Then you can just indicate for me who the wolf is, so that I can save a lot of time to lock the target.

"Thorne offered, "We'll help you trap him or take care of the monster he controls so you can do it easily.

""Good offer! How about this, if there are impostors mixed in with the other teams, you see who my licker is the first to attack, then who is the wolf!" "What, you're not going to move with us?" "I'm in charge of clearing the way for you guys, but I don't want to expose myself directly to the others, mind you, I've wrecked a few squads before, and some of their survivors still remember my appearance, despite the fake name I used.

""I don't suppose you're using a fake name now, too?" Derek laughed dryly twice and didn't say anything.

Thorne secretly said: impostors are really still not trustworthy, always keep a hand on them, always be on guard, now although he is working with us, but who knows what will happen in the future? "Almost hit the mission site, I have to hide first.

"Derek looked around, found a suitable direction, trotted past, and disappeared into the darkness.

"You're talking to him pretty hot.

"Hildo came up at this point and said without any tone of voice.

"One must know the bare minimum, or else how will one respond later?" Thorne laughed, speaking a little more softly to Hido than to anyone else.

"You believe in impostors?" Hideaway asked.

"And what about you?" Thorne asked rhetorically.

Shido shook his head: "They are not reliable.

""Do you have something to share with me?" Thorne sensed that she seemed to have something to say.

"Derek is an impostor of our C-team work, just now you talked to him, you should also know that he will help us, but also use us to set traps and secretly hunt other squads that come to grab the mission, but, once, I found him secretly hiding a licker.

""You mean that Derek talks about having three lickers, but actually has one hidden in the dark?" "Yes.

""What is that one doing?" "That one has been secretly following behind us, in a position to attack at any time.

"I'm sorry," Hildo said, sweeping a little nervously behind her.

"You could say that he secretly kept a hand on us to prevent us from suddenly flipping out and killing him - how did you find out about this?" "I'm a sniper," Hido raised the shotgun in his hand, "although most of our missions are quick assaults and retreat when we're done, and I'm always with the team, responsible for spotting and killing those powerful monsters, but sometimes I do take the high ground, and that's when I found this out, and Derek didn't find me at that time.

""I don't trust impostors either, but I don't mind when I can cooperate, as long as they don't get in my way or hurt my friends.

"Thorne spoke his mind.

"So what are you going to do when you meet the other teams? Help the impostor to kill the other squad together? Although that will not be punished by the system.

""What did the previous group leader do?" "He? Hmph, didn't directly participate in the kill, but blocked the others' retreat, and left the rest to the impostor himself.

""Do you think he's doing the right thing?" "What's right or wrong about being an accomplice?" "I'll see what happens.

"Thorne said," in addition to impostors, ordinary players inside are not always good people, I still say, as long as they do not block my path, I can consider letting them go, otherwise, I will not be polite, after all, I have to first in the interests of our team.

""Well, I hope you can handle it.

"Hideaway said and blew a bubble and stopped talking.

The five-person team quickly approached the mission site.

Thorne didn't even have to turn on his panel, Pete was always in charge of line navigation.

For the first time, Thorne thought - being a leader is really a relief.

"That basketball court up ahead is the target location!" With Pete's guidance, Thorne saw an empty basketball court not far down the street, protected by a fence and surrounded by low bungalows.

"This place is too open for a head-on confrontation.

"Thorne scanned the terrain and immediately had a judgment, "That clothing store across the street can be used as a temporary defense point, and we set up a temporary defense line inside.

""Is it necessary to set up temporary defensive points?"" Adam asked.

"We don't know what this airdrop is, or where the other teams are, or where the other impostors are, so it's more appropriate to observe covertly first.

"Thorne stated his deduction, and the crowd nodded slowly, thinking it made sense.

"Stu, go to the center of the basketball court and make a mark for the Grey King squad, even if some other team comes to grab it, we're there first and don't deserve it! Everyone else cover!" "Understood!" Stu immediately went over carefully, took out the graffiti spray he carried, drew a Grey King Squad mark in the center of the basketball court, and then quickly withdrew.

The crowd smashed open the door of the clothing store and after some inspection, confirmed that there was no danger.

"Pete, how long before the airdrop arrives?" "I don't know, the base didn't say exactly when.

" Pete replied after checking the panel.

His panel is different from everyone else's. It seems to have an informational plug-in attached to it, with an extra small screen that connects directly with the team's mission monitor.

"Let's all fix up first. Stu, you're on guard.

""Yes!"" Stu was the team's outpost in charge of scouting, and also in charge of vigilance duties.

Thorne saw Sidor gawking at a long purple dress and walked over to it.

"You like this skirt?" "I used to have a dress exactly like it.

"Hildo reached out to touch it, but stopped halfway and retracted her hand.

"Take it if you want it, it's not like you have to pay for it anyway.

" Thorne encouraged.

"No, it's not good to take it like that.

"Shido shook his head, "Taking something without paying for it is stealing, and my dad always said never steal anything.

"You have a good, positive father," Thorne said, a little embarrassed.

"Heather laughed and dismissed it.

"Something's going on!" Stu suddenly said.

"What's going on?" "Listen, there is the sound of a helicopter!" The crowd listened carefully, and sure enough, there was the sound of a helicopter propeller, and it was getting closer and closer.

Soon, they saw a black helicopter appear in the northwest sky with a huge weapons case dangling below.

As it flew above the basketball court, the weapon case came off and fell heavily to the ground.

The helicopter immediately flew off into the distance.

Just when the crowd thought it was about to disappear into the cluster of buildings, suddenly a shot rang out from the top of a small building not far away! "Dang dang dang dang!" It seemed to be the sound of a machine gun! "Heavy machine gun, 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun!" Thorne was exceptionally familiar with firearms, and immediately heard what weapon the sound belonged to.

A bright spot of light whistled towards the helicopter and hit the fuselage. It was not a bullet-proof helicopter gunship at all, just a transport helicopter, not even much bullet-proof, and it could not withstand the firepower of a 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun.

"Boom!" The helicopter's fuel tank was unfortunately hit and exploded in the air, billowing black smoke as it crashed to the ground, falling about half a block away and setting a blazing fire.

"What kind of person did that?" The group members looked at each other, no one expected that this would actually happen.

"Is it the ... tracker?" Adam asked carefully, "I heard that the Grey King just fought the Tracker, maybe it's him?" "I think the trackers in the game also brought machine guns, right?" "No, different.

"Thorne reminded," the tracker used not this kind of heavy machine gun, this kind of heavy machine gun is fixed, while the tracker used a portable rotary barrel heavy machine gun, is generally said to be Gatling, they are different in power, sound.

""So that's how it is.

"The crowd had to admire his knowledge.

"Moreover, the tracker had only used a flamethrower before, and it was blown up by the Grey King. If there were no accidents, it could not have found the Gatling in such a short time, much less run to the roof of some building to ambush a helicopter, because its mission was to hunt down STARS, not ambush a helicopter, and besides, it was an Embraer transport helicopter, not a rescue helicopter.

""Yeah, if it's a tracker, it's supposed to be Embraer's bio-weapon, and it couldn't possibly do it to its own company's aircraft any more, right?" Stu also nodded his head in agreement.

"Then who hit it?" Heather asked, frowning.

"Just wait, whoever comes out to pick up the airdrop in a few minutes is probably the one who did it.
