I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3748: Chapter 3739: Interception Plan

After saying his piece, Lin Yi left, and Kong Jia stood there without daring to say anything.

All four groups of the Central Guards Brigade were present, and if a fight broke out, there would be no advantage on their side.

Lin Yi’s actions were meant to ensure that the missions of the second and fourth groups proceeded smoothly, deterring any interference.

Otherwise, their obstruction would affect the progress of the mission.

As the small commotion ended, the team returned to the base, and Lin Yi sent the members of the first group out to patrol, preventing anyone from getting close.

He untied the rope and lifted the top layer of fur; luckily, the Mummy was very well preserved with no breaks.

"It’s unbelievable they had such technology back then," Tao Cheng remarked.

"Anything could happen on the island; what we’ve seen might just be the tip of the iceberg," said Ning Che:

"If there’s an organization or nation that can master the technology on Tilia Island, it could indeed conquer the world."

"It’s truly a mysterious world."

Everyone shared similar sentiments, feeling that Tilia Island might have even more unknown secrets.

Humans have merely lifted a corner of the mysterious veil.

After checking the Mummy, they sealed it again and started eating and resting.

During downtime, all four group leaders gathered to discuss the next move for the second and fourth groups to prevent any other mishaps.

"I think we won’t encounter too many problems on the island; the main issue is with you," said Qiu Yuluo:

"Since the Anglo people learned of the relics, even if they haven’t seen you acquire anything, they would instinctively believe you’ve found something valuable, which we need to guard against."

"We’ve arranged matters so they won’t gain the upper hand."

"I suggest our two groups escort you back; it’ll be safer that way."

"No need to make a big fuss about it; it’ll easily be noticed and attract global attention, putting us in a more dangerous situation and being somewhat counterproductive," said Lin Yi:

"After all, many people now think we’re carrying back a corpse, which is less risky than imagined."

"Let’s do as you say then."

The four of them discussed until dawn, finalizing the specific plan.

Meanwhile, the rest of the four groups were relatively cheerful.

Drinking and playing poker was quite joyous, given the rare opportunity for all four groups to gather together.

In the White Bear’s base, the atmosphere was gloomy and oppressive, with members hanging their heads, each dispirited.

They came to the island full of momentum, only to suffer humiliation, which was a severe blow to them.

Morrison lay on the bed at this time, having been stabbed twice by Lin Yi; though not life-threatening, he lost the ability to move.

Kong Jia had no mind to care for Morrison but instead kept contacting the Youdrian Family with a communicator to explain the situation on the island and discuss the next action plan.

"I took an approximate look; their battle sequence should not have suffered any casualties. What was carried back is not likely a comrade’s corpse but rather something discovered on the island."

"We need some support; act tomorrow when leaving the checkpoint, seize it."

"I know the task this time was to incapacitate Lin Yi, but I don’t have the capability alone unless two people like me are sent over; otherwise, there’s no chance."

"It’s best to act according to my plan, hands-on when leaving the checkpoint, which isn’t restricted by conventions, an ideal place to act."

"Have the weapons sent to the ship; otherwise, we’re no match for the Central Guards Brigade."

"That’s the arrangement; the faster, the better."

After arranging specifics, Kong Jia hung up the communicator, his gaze falling on Morrison.

"I’ve warned you many times not to openly provoke him; you’ve paid the price for your actions."

Morrison clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, "If it wasn’t on the island, I’d have surely shot him dead!"

Kong Jia cast a disdainful glance, showing no concern and mockingly said:

"Even on the same island, he dared to stab you; why didn’t you dare to respond? I’m curious how someone like you could survive until now."

Morrison fell silent, but his expression clearly showed dissatisfaction.

Recalling the confrontation scene, even he found it hard to accept, feeling utterly humiliated.

Before this, he believed in his strength; though perhaps not as good as Lin Yi’s, it wouldn’t fall far behind.

But unexpectedly defeated in one move, meeting him resulted in a harsh lesson.

"Just grant me one more chance, and I’ll make him suffer terribly!"

"With injuries like that, you can’t do anything now," said Kong Jia indifferently:

"Moreover, let me remind you that we came here to make money, not to risk our lives. Unless you win or disable him, otherwise you’ll live worse than death."

"The boss is right. After all, our employer just wants to disable him, not to kill him," others persuaded.

"Damn Central Guards Brigade, you might fear him but I don’t!"

"There’s not much to fear from the Central Guards Brigade, but what about Poker? Do you not fear them too? How were the Halke Rangers wiped out? Have you forgotten?"

Morrison shuddered, his face turning paler.

Many people in this world didn’t fear the Central Guards Brigade, but none were unafraid of Poker.

"Even if it’s his son, so what? Fighting and killing are rules on the island; dying is inevitable in such places."

Trying to save face, Morrison said stubbornly.

Kong Jia shrugged, "Then you can keep acting, but when you do, don’t say you’re with me; I’m not looking to die early."

Morrison lay on the bed filled with hatred, longing for revenge but without any opportunity.

"I should be able to get out of bed tomorrow; although I can’t participate in combat, I’ll accompany you nonetheless. Even if I can’t kill him, I’ll make sure to disable him."

"Do as you please."

To Kong Jia, Morrison’s life or death didn’t matter; he could do as he wished.

...

Early the next day, the members of the first and third groups began packing to prepare for departure.

The island was relatively calm, with each organization busy with its own affairs, and no anomalies occurred.

In the afternoon, the ship docked at the pier, and members from the two groups boarded one after another, proceeding in an orderly fashion.

An hour later, the ship arrived at the checkpoint; disembarking, they switched to another boat to return to port.

"Sui Qiang, first group with Siying, Tong Liang with Xile, Baozi with Da Fei, you guys hide for protection against possible danger."
