Chapter 15: Arrival of the vehicle (2)
After such an important news reached their ears. The caption had a short talk with Daniel's assistant before he commanded everyone to gather around the table.
Before all of the players gathered around the table, the captain walked towards the NPC responsible for leading the attack.
Handing him the communication device when he got close enough.
"Kevin and John, Inform me using this device if you guys find anything," The caption said, his voice carrying seriousness.
Kevin nodded and took the device, putting it inside his pocket. John was ok with it
A few minutes later.
The player obediently obeyed their commands. Myles and Vincent were currently standing in front of the table, waiting for everyone to arrive.
After what felt like an eternity, everyone arrived. Upon the arrival of everyone, the caption urgently passed down new commands.
"Before heading out, we have something to pass down to the fighters who are going to search for the thieves," The caption said, taking out a small crate.
Even before they had the chance to ask any questions, the caption removed the lead. Hence revealing the exterior of 7 pairs of very modern-looking boots.
The pairs of boots were made up of some kind of black metal.
"Those who are part of the attacking team. Wear these pairs of boots," The caption exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.
"What are the uses of these boots?" Myles asked, he sounded a bit skeptical.
Before the caption had the chance to answer, another NPC started to explain the functions of these boots.
"Since we are going hunting for the thieves. We might have to jump from one tree to another; these boots will enable us to jump up higher in the air," Another NPC explained as he took the boots.
Myles didn't immediately reach out from the boots upon hearing this. He inspected the boots from top to bottom, and so did the other players. However, it didn't look like the leader was as patient as them.
"Quickly wear these boots, we need to move quickly! Also, we will have to return the boots after this mission," The captain shouted, sounding a bit impatient.
Upon seeing the impatient look on his face, Myles didn't dare to ask him any questions. He quickly took a pair of boots and put it on in mere seconds.
As for returning it when the mission was done? He was fine with it. After all, the notes didn't belong to him.
At that moment a notification flashed in his retina.
(You have equipped the Hunter's boots)

Myles skimmed past the lines of words flashing in his retina. He had to admit that the first skill was a very good, pleasant surprise.
A voice resounded through his ears as he was reading the lines of words.
"The members of the attacking team gather around us quickly!" An NPC voice resounded through his ears.
He saw three NPCs walking towards the exit. They were not too far away from them currently. He does not go online; he didn't spot the caption or any members of the escorting team.
"Where did the escorting team go?" Myles asked, he sounded confused.
"They have already left for their respective posts. Hurry, we also need to leave quickly!" An NPC said
It appeared that they had left when he was reading the description of the boots. It was quite shocking since he had wasted 30 seconds on it at best!!
Nonetheless, Myles shook his head and quickly put on the boots
(Your strength stats have increased by 40.
Current Strength:82)
Then, he began to make his way toward the exit alongside the others.
The moment he stepped out of the building. He was greeted by darkness and a full moon floating above his head. Yes, night had finally fallen in the game.
Myles halted his steps after exiting the building since the NPC was waiting for the others to arrive.
It didn't take long for them to arrive. Within the span of a minute, everyone had arrived and were standing still, eagerly waiting for their orders. Upon the arrival of everyone, the NPC passes down a simple command.
"Let's head out; we are going to Scout out the 20km, 15km, 10km, 5km, and 1km marks, respectively. Make sure to stick together and not get too far away from one another!!" An NPC exclaimed, his voice carrying authority.
Right after he said those words, the NPC, along with other NPC, charged towards the 1 km with a determined look on their face. The players followed closely behind him, not daring to be left behind.
They decided to jump from one roof to another instead of using the road since it was a lot faster than usual.
Due to the usage of his boots, it allowed them to jump at a much greater height. Hence, making their life much easier.
"These boots are very good. I wonder if I can convince Daniel to let me buy them after the mission" Myles thought to himself.
They continued jumping from one roof to another until they finally reached the 29 km mark.
It took nearly 30 minutes for them to arrive at the 20 km mark even when moving at their full speed. By now, the Transportation Vehicle must be making its way to the warehouse. Hence, they must hurry.
Upon reaching the 20 km mark, the NPC halted their steps on the roofs.
"Stop, we need to scan the surrounding area carefully now," An NPC said as he halted his steps.
Myles took a look at his surroundings and saw the roof was fairly lit up due to the luminous moonlight of the moon.
He took a look at the road below him and saw that they were also lit up properly. However, the roads below him appeared to be quite narrow.
"It's easier to hide oneself in a narrow road," Myles thought to himself as he tried to scan the entire road.
As he was scanning the entire road from one end to the other end, a voice resounded through his ears.
"I have a job for you" An NPC voice resounded through his ears.
