The Double Agent of Lungmen

Chapter 12: Horrible Timing

Since the commander of this operation has spoken, there is no reason for everyone to continue arguing.

"Eliask." The muscular man spoke up, "I come from Ursus. I have great strength and I'm proficient in the usage of multiple firearms. I also know how to drive. My task is to provide firepower support and be your driver. Mildly infected."

After finishing his introduction, Eliask looked at the others.

He revealed very little information, just a brief introduction of his abilities.

Ursus, a powerful military empire.

The representative creature there is a bear, so Ursus practically represents a highly aggressive warrior nation.

After the Eliask's introduction, the tall and thin guy pushed his glasses up his nose and said, "Chu Ning, from Yan, skilled in disguise techniques, partial knowledge of combat techniques, formerly served in a specialist unit. An accident led to infection, and I had to leave. Oh, by the way, my nose is quite sensitive."

Chu Ning finished speaking and pointed to his nose, while his two long drooping ears proved his race.

Specialist? Upon hearing those two words, Xiu Xian couldn't help but glance at Crownslayer beside him.

Next was the chubby guy who rubbed his hands, saying, "I-I'm Galileo, from Bolivar. I'm skilled in electronic intrusion, data manipulation, hacking operations, and identity interference. Hehehe, from now on, please take care of me, take care of me."

Finally, it was Xiu Xian's turn.

"Xiu Feifan," he introduced himself, "I'm from Lungmen, a doctor. All of you are mildly infected, and my ability can help you bypass detection. I can also help suppress the sequelae of infection."

"A doctor!" Galileo exclaimed with excitement. "That's great! I'm already feeling safer."

Eliask, beside him, coldly snorted. "Excited about what? Didn't the leader just tell you? Hypocritical."

Galileo glanced at Eliask's robust physique, thought about his own chubby body, and could only shake his head and speak softly, "I-I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere, that's all."

Eliask then looked at Crownslayer and said, "Lord Crownslayer, is there really no problem with this operation? If it were up to me..." He paused and glanced at Chu Ning beside him. "With him, the three of us could complete this mission. Why do we need to carry along two burdens?"

"Burdens?" Xiu Xian looked at Eliask.

This guy didn't hold back either. "The mission is to acquire information, provide support, and then leave. The most dangerous part is getting caught and needing to fight and retreat. You," he pointed at Xiu Xian, then at Galileo, "What use do you have in a fight? Do you have combat skills? Do you have any combat experience?"

The last question was directed at Galileo by Eliask.

Galileo lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and said, "I... I still have some usefulness. Some... things need to be decrypted."

"Well, even if you have some usefulness," Eliask snorted coldly, then glanced at Xiu Xian and said, "And what about you, Doctor? If we get discovered in this mission, the only outcomes are being captured or killed. What use do you have? Can you bring people back from the dead?"

Xiu Xian shrugged his shoulders. "I can cheer you on from behind."

Eliask's serious expression was momentarily interrupted by Xiu Xian's statement. He changed his expression a few times and huffed, "You really have no shame."

"The doctor can provide assistance when we get injured," Chu Ning intervened to defuse the situation. "We're going to cooperate from now on, so let's not make it unpleasant."

"In a place where Lungmen keeps an eye on people," Eliask sneered, "What's the difference between being injured and being dead?"

Xiu Xian calmly added, "The difference is that if you're dead, you're dead. But my presence can buy you two extra seconds, and who knows, maybe you'll have time to say your last words? Like where your mom hid your diapers or something."

"Do you want to fight?" Eliask was completely provoked by this statement. He glared fiercely at Xiu Xian and was about to make a move.

However, a blade instantly appeared at his neck. Crownslayer, who knows when, had arrived beside him. "What are you doing to your own teammates?"

Xiu Xian smiled and looked like he was begging to be hit, while Eliask clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He snarled menacingly, "You better not do anything bad and get caught by me! Don't ask me for protection on the battlefield either! Lord Crownslayer, why did the leader insist on having this coward participate in this operation?"

"Cease your dissatisfaction, Eliask," Crownslayer retracted her dagger and said calmly, "His presence can save you before you explode from Oripathy. I know you have biases against doctors, and I know that your family was betrayed by a doctor and subsequently killed by the Ursus Guards. But this person beside you is different."

"He has saved more infected comrades than you can imagine. Even when surrounded by the Ursus patrol units, he was trying to save our comrades. Chu Ning is right. We need cooperation in this operation, so I hope everyone can temporarily put aside their preconceptions about each other. And..."

Crownslayer's gaze swept over everyone, and she spoke, "This operation is a rescue mission. If we succeed, each of you will be promoted from the status of a newcomer. If you want to witness the establishment of a new order, if you want to carve your name into the creation of a new world, then strive to accept each other."

"Yes," although the four of them said so, no one knew what they were really thinking.

At this moment, Xiu Xian felt a wave of soreness coming from his wisdom tooth.

At a time like this?

Xiu Xian was slightly startled because it was Chen's emergency contact method!

But given his current situation... there was absolutely no way for him to respond!
