Chapter 283: 283 Cooperation

'The situation outside... is currently smooth.'

Looking at the sniffer who was pulled out by the burn-scarred man and fainted after struggling twice, Li Ang, who had reacted, turned and translated with a strange expression:

'Just now a sniffer came out with a cigarette in his mouth, probably wanting to get some air, and just happened to open the cabin door for us. It's just... um... the bottle containing your butt, Senior, was hit by the popping cabin door, and it should have fallen to the bottom of the tower now.'

'...'

'Don't worry, Senior Pi Ao Ni.'

Feeling the complex mood of "Little Silver Man" Senior, Li Ang hurriedly comforted:

'To avoid someone using long-range weapons to attack the airship's air bag, a large area under the boarding tower is forbidden to enter. Your butt, Senior, shouldn't fall into other people's hands. And after the mission here is over, we will go down to the tower to find it immediately, and guarantee to pick up your butt, Senior!'

'...'

Butt or whatever... is actually okay, mainly that thing in front of the butt, that must not be lost!

'Good... alright.'

After finally entering the private ship, seeing that the mission was almost complete, it was really not good to let a bunch of people go down to find his butt immediately. Pi Ao Ni had to urge helplessly:

'Then you have to be fast. The feeling of having no butt... is really strange...'

'Don't worry, Senior. Up to now, except for your butt having a little accident, everything else is very smooth. This mission will definitely be very fast.'

After comforting the little silver man Senior who lost his beloved butt, Li Ang handed the thermos bottle containing Senior Pi Ao Ni to the burn-scarred man with the strongest physique, and he touched the sheep horn exposed a little in his cuff, and checked the situation inside the airship.

Soon, with the slight shaking of the world in front of him, the positions of one soul flame after another were "marked" directly by the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's soul vision.

"5 in the front cabin, should be the airship's operating personnel; 23 in the back cabin, looking at the position, it should be the guards escorting the mineral specimens; the middle cabin with the largest space has only 11 people, and the positions are very scattered."

"Judging from the structure of the airship, the middle cabin is many small rooms separated. People who can have separate rooms on the private ship should be those sniffers."

After briefly describing the situation he "saw," Li Ang began to arrange the action:

"Go forward a little more, it should be the airship's miscellaneous cabin. Next, let's use space ability to twist this unconscious sniffer into the miscellaneous cabin and lock him up."

"Then we go forward along the corridor, directly to the control area of the front cabin, close all the airtight valves between the cabins, prevent the guards responsible for escorting in the back cabin from coming out, and finally go back to the middle cabin to find the remaining sniffers and thoroughly modify their memories... Any questions?"

"No."

"Simple!"

If it's work like giving speeches on stage to win votes, these rebels might be a bit strenuous, but these old "criminals" are simply too familiar with this kind of infiltration, destruction, and attack on targets.

If it were tasks like going on stage to give speeches and canvassing for votes, the rebels might find it quite difficult, but for things like infiltrating, sabotaging, and attacking targets, this bunch of old "criminals" couldn't be more familiar.

Immediately after, in Li Ang's soul vision, the rebels' souls arrived at the control area in less than twenty seconds, and the 5 operating personnel lost consciousness, and the airtight valves between the cabins of the airship were also neatly put down.

This infiltration level is much more fierce than himself.

After sighing at the rebels' neatness, and waiting for the people who came back from the front cabin to take their places, Li Ang took the Lu Xi Fei Bi sisters into the middle cabin of the airship. The sniffers who noticed the abnormality had just run out of their rooms, and were visited by the mental shock of 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 one by one, and fainted with white eyes.

This action was done... simply flowing like water~

Less than a minute from jumping down, he controlled the airship cabin with a total length of more than 120 meters and successfully knocked down all key targets. Li Ang nodded with satisfaction, and while the Lu Xi Fei Bi sisters were modifying memories, he entered the rooms of these sniffers and turned out their sniffer records.

【Number: 941001】

【Location: Northern Laien County and Mei Li Nuo County, He Si Pi Tu Volcano Group, Gray Ridge Col】 【

【Location: Northern Bobby Laien County and Merino County, Hespito Volcano Group, Gray Ridge Col】

【Target: Crustal Heat Source Exploration】

【Person in Charge: Isaac Asimov】

【Geological Situation: The main body is composed of basalt and andesite, and mining is relatively difficult...】

【...】

【Quality Analysis: a-, processing difficulty is relatively high, requires the construction of a giant mining site rated as s, and all related facilities...】

【Reserve Estimate: ss, without major geological changes, the crustal energy can output energy semi-permanently, and the total duration should exceed 300 years...】

【Value Assessment: Ordinary cooperative mining is b-level, extreme special extraction is s.

However, under extreme extraction, it is enough to meet more than 80% of the current energy demand, but it will cause devastating effects on the environment within 12,000 square kilometers. The dust cloud mixed with volcanic ash will also disperse westward along the ocean monsoon, causing acidic rainfall for several years... The cost is too high, it is recommended to give up...】

Crustal heat source, volcano... It seems this must be the report.

After successfully finding his target among a pile of sniffing reports, Li Ang couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief, then rubbed his cufflinks, took out a small bottle, unscrewed it, and poured the contents onto the report.

"Squish!"

Accompanied by a sound that sounded a bit sticky, a black and white earthworm-like creature fell onto the report, rolling over twice as if it hadn't woken up yet.

【Name: Word-Eating Worm Sub-body (Knowledge, Simulation)】

【Appearance: A small, multi-colored ringed earthworm the thickness of a little finger. Its specific color will automatically adjust according to the paper's original color and the color of the text on it. The lower part of its body has a large number of strange organs similar to octopus suckers.

These tiny suckers are actually its mouthparts. Any text that falls on the paper will disappear directly after it crawls over it from above.】

【Ability: Extract text, simulate output】

【Cost: After asking it for help, you need to write a piece of creative, knowledgeable, or interesting text as a reward. Please note that it is very picky about food.】

【File: A sub-body split from a God-rank Word-Eating Worm, one of the "tools" distributed by the Cleanup Bureau to every Director-level member.

It is usually mainly responsible for eating confidential documents generated after cleanup work to prevent them from being forcibly peeped at by Outer Gods who covet the world. It can also help modify some documents that need to be changed, reducing the workload of the directors.

This larva was distributed to Olivia, Director of the Virgin Branch of the Cleanup Bureau, 7 years ago. During this period, it has eaten a total of 617 confidential documents and 215,307 text labels on alcoholic beverage bottles. It is now temporarily lent to Li Ang Laien, a Level 3 Accident Handler of the Virgin Branch.】

【Evaluation: A very interesting little bug. After eating so many wine labels in Olivia's office, it is very interested in the taste of wine. After it helps you modify the document, you can also try to treat it to a little whiskey, just a bottle cap's worth is enough.】

【Infection Value: 0.1】

Eat, eat! As long as you can change this report, let alone just a bottle cap of whiskey, I'll treat you to a whole barrel!

After being poked awake by Li Ang's finger, the black-and-white ringed 【Word-Eating Worm Sub-body】 lazily stretched, then took "steps" and slowly began to crawl on the sniffing report in Li Ang's hand.

And as it continued to move along the grid on the paper, the handwriting on the entire sniffing report began to be eaten away line by line. After eating almost enough, the 【Word-Eating Worm Sub-body】 turned around and, along the route it came, "pooped" the eaten words back line by line.

That's right, it pooped them back.

One by one, characters with completely different content but handwriting that was no different from before fell from the 【Word-Eating Worm Sub-body】's needle-eye-sized "*" and naturally melted into the paper, as if it had been written that way from the very beginning. It is estimated that even the writer themselves wouldn't be able to tell the difference between true and false.

【Number: 941001】

【Location: Northern Bobby Laien County and Merino County...】

【Target: Crustal Heat Source Exploration】

【...】

【Quality Analysis: d, processing difficulty is relatively high, requires the construction of a giant mining site rated as s, and all related facilities, but there are too many energy impurities, and it needs repeated purification before it can be used...】

【Reserve Estimate: s-, without major geological changes, the crustal energy can output energy semi-permanently, but the crustal changes in this area are frequent, and the estimated extractable years are not high...】

【Value Assessment: Ordinary cooperative mining is c-level, extreme special extraction is b.

The advantage is that the reserves are huge, and it can supply semi-permanently if there is no geological change, but if you want to mine on a large scale, the cost is too huge. It will not only cause devastating effects on the environment within 12,000 square kilometers, but also trigger a high-intensity war... The benefits do not match the expenditure... It is recommended to give up...】

Not bad. Although the modification method is a bit disgusting, this little wine bug's ability is truly excellent. It looks just like the real thing.

After checking the file that had been modified to look decent and finding no obvious loopholes, Li Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then took out the first three chapters of "The Domineering Duke Falls in Love with Me" that he had scribbled last night and handed them to the Word-Eating Worm, which was looking up and asking him for benefits.

Well done, eat, eat. If it's not enough, there's more~

"Leader."

Just as Li Ang was staring curiously at the 【Word-Eating Worm Sub-body】, wanting to see what reaction it would have after eating "Domineering Duke," the pot-bellied middle-aged rebel squeezed in from the doorway and reported with a smile:

"Lucy's side is already finished, the memories of the relevant personnel have all been modified. If you are finished here too, then we can retreat."

"Good!"

Hearing that Lucy's side had also finished the cleanup, Li Ang felt great. He threw the Word-Eating Worm, which was gorging itself on "Domineering Duke," into the Mirror World, instructed the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang to help it open another bottle of whiskey, and then walked out of the sniffer's room.

"Check one last time to see if there are any omissions. Try to erase all traces of our presence as much as possible. If we can avoid leaving traces, then don't leave any..."

After requesting everyone to do a final review, Li Ang habitually touched his cufflinks and, with the help of the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's soul vision, checked the situation around him.

"Wait!"

Looking at the soul guarding the entrance of the Secret Port, whose scent was very familiar, Li Ang couldn't help but be shocked.

Nathan... No! The middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya who returned to the present with the help of the 【Gate of the Other World】? Wasn't he taken away by the Aquarius Director? How could he appear at the boarding tower?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Li Ang's expression was not right, the group of rebels immediately became nervous. The pot-bellied middle-aged man couldn't help but ask:

"Leader, did the guards find that the documents were wrong and come up the tower to find us?"

"No."

After shaking his head slightly, Li Ang frowned and said:

"It's Watching Qiaoshuya who has come... Not that prince with a muddled brain, the one who came is the former leader who used the pseudonym Nathan."

What? Nathan?

Hearing Li Ang's words, the group of rebels looked at each other in surprise.

As the former leader who single-handedly formed the rebels and led them to resist the kingdom, middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya still had some prestige in their hearts. Now, everyone was holding the intelligence obtained from him and doing the job of attacking the boarding tower that he wanted to do, but they were just "caught" by him. This feeling was truly a bit strange.

"Let's go, let's go out and see him first."

After testing the soul state of the rebels and confirming that no one was wavering, Li Ang looked at middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya's soul fire again, and then made a final decision:

"What we are doing now is exactly what he dreamed of. So if it is Watching Qiaoshuya who is controlling the body, he will not take action at this time, but I am afraid that the people behind him will make trouble.

If there is any change on his side and he really takes action against you, then I will go and stop him first. You take the opportunity to retreat back into the airship, and then open the thermos in your hands. The things inside can protect your safety."

"Understood!"

Hearing Li Ang's instructions, the rebels nodded one after another, then followed Li Ang out of the airship as if facing a great enemy.

"It's really been a long time."

Clearly knowing the "maximum lethal radius" of the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】, middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya did not come over. Instead, after everyone walked out of the airship, he stared fixedly at Li Ang, who was standing at the front, from seventy or eighty meters away, gritting his teeth and mocking:

"I thought that after you took the position of rebel leader, you could do something amazing. It turns out you're just taking the intelligence I gave you and doing the things I wanted to do? Then what's the difference between you and me? Hmm?"

"The difference is huge!"

The pot-bellied middle-aged wealthy merchant stepped forward and replied with anger on his face:

"Na... Watching Qiaoshuya, to you, we are just tools. You only need us to listen to you and do things for you. As long as you can achieve your goal, you won't care how many tools die.

If you were the one commanding this operation, it would be good if half of us could survive. But Lord Bajinsi can not only lead us to retreat unscathed, but also truly point out the future path for us. He truly values us!"

"Hehe, fine, think whatever you want."

Having long since given up the idea of retaking the position of rebel leader, middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya couldn't be bothered to argue with them. After a disdainful sneer, he asked back with a face full of contempt:

"But are you really sure that by following this 'Little Bajinsi', you can get this done?"

Hmm? What does he mean by that?

Glancing at Watching Qiaoshuya's soul and finding that he was not bluffing, Li Ang's brows furrowed slightly. Behind Li Ang, the burn-scarred man, who had been holding it in for a long time, couldn't hold back anymore and stood out, saying with impatience:

"Why can't we? If it weren't for you, you spineless bastard, blocking us, we would have finished and retreated by now! Hurry up, spit out whatever crap you have!"

This damn barbarian...

Being scolded by the burn-scarred man until his face turned black, middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya's cheeks twitched twice. He wanted to scold back but couldn't, and if he really fought, he couldn't win either, so he had to "spit it out" with a dark face:

"Just modifying memories is useless. If you want to hide the news of the volcano, you have to completely blow up the entire airship!"
