Chapter 385 Departure
A minute later, Ryoken Takahashi returned to the lobby of the prison building.
The black-robed people were still discussing, and Takahashi Ryoken also observed that some of them had already made a decision, and there was desire in the eyes of these black-robed people.
He picked up the microphone and asked, "The time is up. Now, those who are willing to accept the task, step out!"
The words fell.
A dozen men in black robes stepped forward, followed by several others.
This number made Takahashi Ryoken dissatisfied. He thought that with such great benefits, there should be more people in black robes willing to accept this mission.
Takahashi Ryoken was taking things for granted. Not to mention that many of these black-robed men were severely affected by the backlash of the blue serum, there was also the fear of the unknown.
They were fully aware of the crimes they had committed, and not being executed on the spot was already a mercy. They believed that this mission was definitely to be cannon fodder, a disguised execution of them.
In addition, some of the people in black robes have been severely brainwashed by Tanaka Kame. Since the government has not dealt with them, they want to wait in prison for the AI alien to come and rescue them.
Takahashi Ryoken was not sure about this number, so he stepped back and asked Zhang Hao for his opinion .
Outside the prison building, Takahashi Ryoken said with a sullen face, "There are less than 20 people."
Zhang Hao said: "That's enough. Those who are unwilling to accept the mission cannot be forced to come."
Those unwilling men in black robes, no matter what their intentions were, might turn against them at the critical moment, and Zhang Hao could not accept that.
On the contrary, those who are willing to take the initiative to accept the mission are risking their lives to regain their freedom.
For these people, Zhang Hao is willing to give them a chance.
Of course, if he died during the mission, it would not be his fault.
After receiving Zhang Hao's affirmative answer, Takahashi Ryoken returned to the prison building.
He finally confirmed the number of people willing to accept the task, a total of 18.
He whispered to the warden here and asked him to bring all 18 people to the designated location around midnight tonight.
After finishing the work here, Zhang Hao went back to make the final preparations.
Time passed quickly and it was 23:45 in a blink of an eye.
The global alliance's urban training base is home to all those participating in the virtual world operation.
Everyone is making final preparations.
Representatives from various regions gathered here.
The reason for concentrating them in one place is to facilitate actual combat command, so that different regions can communicate synchronously to ensure efficiency.
They mainly used video calls to remotely command the armed forces in their respective countries to launch attacks on the Church of Light.
Corrupt officials involved in the Zeus Group’s transportation chain and key figures in the connection will also be secretly arrested by armed forces in various regions to ensure that no one slips through the net.
As for the secret base in the Arctic Circle, Wilson sent the Marines to take over, and they are about to reach the target location.
In the center of the training room, there are dozens of game cabins, and next to them stand the black-robed men who were escorted here, as well as the special operations personnel dispatched by Zheng Guoqi.
This group of people will be led by Zhang Hao into the virtual world, head to the moon, attack Zeus's mothership, and rescue the trapped people.
23:55
Zhang Hao and the others have all laid down in the game cabin and started to connect to the virtual world.
Operation Winter Break begins!
After entering the virtual world, Zhang Hao and his team appeared at the original place, which was also the global alliance base.
Zhang Hao gathered all the people together, especially the 18 men in black robes.
It was not until now that Zhang Hao told them the purpose of this operation and the mission of these 18 men in black robes.
"Our destination this time is the moon, the AI aliens' mothership docked on the back of the moon."
"Your mission is to fly fighter jets and launch the first wave of attacks on the AI aliens' mothership."
"I don't need you to fight to the death. You just need to fly the fighter plane and reflect all the weapons and missiles carried by the fighter plane, and then you can return home."
"If the AI star carrier sends fighters to fight, you can choose to evade the battle. If this happens, it will depend on your luck!"
The 18 men in black robes understood what was going on and realized that they were indeed being used as cannon fodder for the first batch of exploratory attacks.
However, the task of simply using up all the weapons and missiles is not very demanding. After all, airborne missiles are not airborne artillery. They only need to reach a certain distance to be launched, and there is no need to get too close to the AI star mothership.
A man in black robes asked : "We don't know how to fly a fighter jet, how can you expect us to fight?"
Zhang Hao replied: "We have already considered this. All the new fighters we develop are connected to the brain nerves for flight control. We are now heading to the moon. During the distance between the earth and the moon, you can take this time to practice fighter control and various operations."
Finally, Zhang Hao warned: "This is your chance. Just fire all the missiles, but don't think about doing anything bad. I have control over all the fighters. You must be aware of the consequences of doing something wrong!"
Zhang Hao decided to say it in advance to deter the 18 men in black robes. After all, once the battle started, he would not have the energy to take care of those 18 fighter planes.
Zhang Hao didn't have much to say about the special operations team members sent by Zheng Guoqi.
They are the elite among the elites. They are already familiar with the new fighter jets developed by Ace and have hundreds of hours of flying experience.
Their mission is to intercept and attack any AI star fighters that may come forward to engage.
Kisame Shichi and Bu Liangren followed Zhang Hao.
Everything was arranged, and Zhang Hao led 50 new Soyuz fighter jets into space, flying directly to the moon.
This was the first time that Kisame Shichi and Bokuto flew out of the earth, and both of them were very excited.
Especially Kisame Nanashi, after the fighter plane flew out of the atmosphere and flew steadily, he left his position and lay on the window looking outside.
"Brother Zhang, look at those guys flying around everywhere!"
Zhang Hao looked out the window and saw 18 fighter planes piloted by the man in black robes flying back and forth, left and right.
"They are familiarizing themselves with flight operations so as not to get stuck when the AI star fighters chase them."
"Brother Zhang, what do you think is the possibility of their survival?"
Zhang Hao said: "It depends on how much energy Zeus has collected so far, and whether it is enough for their fighter planes to take off."
Bu Liangren also said, "Kisamechi, don't think this mission is a journey. Let alone these black-robed men, we may not be able to go back."
After hearing what Bu Liangren said, Gui Jiaoqi instantly became dispirited.
Ace smiled and said, "It's not that we can't go back. In the virtual world, Zeus is the king, and I am the king of kings. There is absolutely no problem in keeping you safe. However, if this mission fails, we will be stuck in a stalemate for who knows how long."
If this mission fails, although the Zeus Group's transportation chain and secret base on Earth will be destroyed, as long as the mothership is still there, Zeus can still cultivate another Zeus Group to continue collecting energy for the mothership.
Then it will be a back and forth process with no end.
If the global alliance falls into such a stalemate, it will become passive. After all, just because Zhang Hao was able to obtain intelligence this time does not mean that the other party will be unprepared next time.
