Chapter 40: Shocking Inside Story, Flame Priest
Yu Yuan zoomed in on the map, and when he saw the location of Splow Park, he seemed to understand the intentions of the Burning Fortress and the Thug Prison.
He couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
Without hesitation, Yu Yuan immediately opened the Virtual Light Screen—the Book of Fate.
Used—【Intelligence Card—Inside Information】
Target—Intelligence regarding the cooperation between the Burning Fortress and the Thug Prison.
The next moment, the 【Intelligence Card—Inside Information】 disappeared from the Book of Fate, and the text near the intelligence about the Burning Fortress on the newspaper in Yu Yuan's hand began to clear up.
Two seconds later, the newspaper had completely transformed, and a brand new news report appeared before Yu Yuan.
But when he saw the news headline that gave off serious tabloid vibes, the corners of Yu Yuan's eyes twitched involuntarily.
【Shocking Inside Information: Burning Fortress and Thug Prison Actually... in Broad Daylight】
Quality: RockDanger Level: Medium
According to our undercover reporter's life-risking investigation, it has been learned today that the Burning Fortress and the Thug Prison have reached a secret agreement. They plan to carry out a mad ambush on the Black Shield Police Department this afternoon. Is this the collapse of morality or the distortion of humanity? Please see our detailed report.
According to the reporter's investigation, the Burning Fortress and the Thug Prison are about to conduct a resource transaction, where the Thug Prison will exchange 20 slaves for supplies provided by the Burning Fortress, including a truckload of fuel, some survival supplies, and explosives.
In reality, these 20 slaves are just a cover. What they're really trading is a donor who matches the requirements for organ transplantation. Their goal is to provide new lung organs for the Burning Fortress leader 'Black Lung' Victor.
For this purpose, the Burning Fortress needs to deliver the supplies in advance to the dense forest viewing area of Splow Park in District 9, then assist the Thug Prison in completing the ambush on the Black Shield Police Department.
This transaction also serves as the foundation for future cooperation between the Burning Fortress and the Thug Prison.
There are only two objectives for this cooperation:
The Burning Fortress assists the Thug Prison in clearing out the Black Shield Police Department's stronghold in the eastern city, completing their control over the eastern district.
Meanwhile, the Thug Prison helps the Burning Fortress capture the No. 1 offshore oil field located in the Green Forest sea area.
To ensure the smooth execution of this cooperation.
The Thug Prison has dispatched 1 prison guard and 40 plunderers, along with 10 slave suicide squad members, which will mark the beginning of the siege against the Black Shield Police Department.
The Burning Fortress has sent 30 Flame Knights to handle the ambush on the Black Shield Police Department. According to the plan, aside from 5 Flame Knights guarding the transaction supplies and the organ donor, the remaining 25 Flame Knights will directly participate in the battle.
However, a Flame Priest has temporarily joined the guard team, and his arrival seems to carry other purposes... This matter is still under investigation by our newspaper...

After reading all the content, Yu Yuan felt cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
Too dangerous!
If he had foolishly stuck to his original plan of waiting at the Carlyle tunnel to pick up scraps, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
Turns out this transaction was actually a trap set up by the Thug Prison and the Burning Fortress specifically targeting the Black Shield Police Department.
He felt a wave of retrospective fear.
But then an even more excited expression appeared on his face.
"The Burning Fortress only left 5 Flame Knights and one Flame Priest guarding the supplies, so that's only 6 people?" Yu Yuan's mind started racing. If it's just 6 people, with his current weapons, he might actually have a chance to take them down!
If he could eliminate all 6 people before the other enemies return, wouldn't he be able to take all those supplies?
It was already 8 AM, and Yu Yuan couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly put on all his equipment, making sure to specifically bring the M64 Grenade.
District 9 wasn't exactly close by, and with this sudden development, he had to go to Splow Park to scout the situation. He needed to plan his escape route in advance. This opportunity was once in a lifetime, and he absolutely had to seize it.
He quickly waved at Mie Mie.
"Mie Mie, come equip!"
Seeing Yu Yuan's signal, Mie Mie immediately transformed into a stream of light and flowed into Yu Yuan's body.
Yu Yuan then left the shelter, descended to the sewer via the ladder, disengaged Mie Mie's equipment form, and climbed directly onto Mie Mie's back. After adjusting his direction, he pointed forward and said:
"Let's go, Mie Mie."
Mie Mie~~
Mie Mie immediately started moving, carrying Yu Yuan forward with remarkable ease.
District 9, Splow Park.
This was a dense forest viewing area, with thick trees surrounding the entire viewing zone. Unless you got really close, it was hard to see what was happening inside.
And in this forest that normally saw no visitors, today it was unusually crowded.
Thirty wasteland-modified motorcycles were neatly parked on one side, followed by five wasteland-modified apocalypse pickup trucks.
However, the Burning Fortress's vehicles were quite different from those of other factions. Whether motorcycles or apocalypse pickups, their exhaust pipes were raised high like chimneys.
At this moment, a man wearing fiery red robes stood in front of one of the pickup trucks.
The man's shiny head had no hair at all; instead, it was completely covered in flame tattoos. Both his earlobes hung with flame-shaped earrings carved from fiery red crystals.
Hualuo looked contentedly at the man locked in an iron cage in the pickup truck bed and nodded slightly.
"This donor's physical condition is far more perfect than what we required."
Hearing this, the person behind Hualuo spoke with a smile.
"Our leader attaches great importance to this cooperation. This donor was only captured yesterday. After tests confirmed he met Leader Victor's donor requirements, we immediately arranged the swap."
Hualuo nodded with satisfaction.
"I represent our leader in thanking Leader Habaar for his consideration. Rest assured, not a single person from the Black Shield Police Department will escape this ambush."
"Thank you, Priest Hualuo!"
After seeing off the Thug Prison members, the smile vanished from Hualuo's face as he looked at a Flame Knight beside him.
The knight immediately stepped forward.
"Lord Hualuo, don't worry, we've searched the entire park. Everything is secure. But why did you come personally? Weren't you handling that other matter?"
Hualuo nodded slightly.
"Originally I wasn't planning to come this time, but there was a problem with our previous operation. Someone actually took advantage of our inattention and stole the item. I received a message from Hans—they tracked the target based on wheel marks and found they've hidden in Green Forest City. They're my target this time."
"What!" the Flame Knight exclaimed, but quickly caught himself and lowered his voice: "My lord, then I'll immediately send people to search..."
Hualuo waved his hand: "No, this cooperation with the Thug Prison is equally crucial and cannot afford any mistakes. Let's finish the matter at hand first. The Thug Prison must not learn about this, and they mustn't detect anything unusual from us, understand?"
"Yes! Lord Hualuo!"
Hualuo smiled at the Flame Knight before him and patted his shoulder.
"Gaina, after completing this mission, you should be promoted to Flame Priest, right? I'll vote for you when the time comes. Make sure to complete this mission impressively!"
"All credit belongs to Lord Hualuo. If not for you, I would have died long ago in the disaster..."
"Alright, alright. Once you're promoted to Flame Priest, you'll be qualified to learn about many things. Your perspective on this world will change dramatically then..."
