Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start-Chapter 269 - 158: Unexpected Compatibility in Remodeling
Outside Night Town.
Lilia watched as five Dawn Squads had arrived, walking towards them through the space crevice.
There’s no direct contact between the Dawn Squads, yet the Dawn Guild exists, where many Dawn Squads update some Rule Zone guidelines.
They also document features of the powerful Rule Zone and seek assistance, and even look for new teammates.
The enemies are unified, and these updates can serve as references for others. After all, the rules are all under Night, so encountering the same rules is quite common.
And the casualty rate among the Dawn Squads is high; since they aim to save the world, few are afraid to die. Or rather, those cowardly ones capable of evading the rules have all ventured into some Kingdoms or established their own to live a life of indulgence.
In the end, watching those around them being killed one by one by the rules, they become mere playthings of the rules.
So Charles infiltrated the Dawn Guild, modifying some elements to ensure the content he wanted to post appeared in the Dawn Guilds of this and nearby Kingdoms.
This is how the Dawn Squads were attracted, ultimately agreeing under Charles’ guidance to venture into Night Town together to resolve the Rule Zone here.
Now that the numbers exceed twenty, it’s time for her to step out.
"Who’s there?"
As she approached within less than a hundred meters, Charles glanced sharply at her.
Upon being reminded, members of over twenty Dawn Squads all turned to look, their piercing gazes sending shivers down one’s spine.
Lilia froze, a flash of murderous intent fleeting in her eyes, but she quickly gathered herself, meekly saying, "I’m also from a Dawn Squad..."
The sharpness in the eyes of those twenty-odd people swiftly dissipated, and their gazes towards Lilia softened. A powerful figure from the Space System, this could provide the team with more margin for error, something welcomed by all Dawn Squads.
Charles, however, frowned slightly; he had seen Lilia on Lak’s equipment, knowing she was a member of that squad.
And Charles had killed Lak only two days ago, so upon seeing his teammate appear, instinctively felt this woman could not be allowed to live!
Enemies, only when all are dead are they good enemies.
But then he noticed the gazes of others, suppressing the murderous intent within his eyes. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Just as a four-man squad was about to speak, Charles asked, "Where are your teammates?"
Lilia’s expression immediately turned sorrowful as she recalled things about the Baiyi Cult; she said despondently, "A week ago, it was during the exploration of this Rule Zone that we suffered casualties."
Others’ eyes brightened slightly; a new Rule Zone appearing is inherently dangerous, but one explored before is relatively much safer.
This girl actually entered this Rule Zone, and on top of that, being from the Space System, her value in the eyes of the Dawn Squad would be extremely high.
Without waiting for Charles to ask, the four-man squad spoke first, with a golden middle-tier bearded middle-aged man stepping forward, trying to soften his demeanor: "Young lady, my name is Tyler. If you don’t mind, we just happen to be short one person, would you like to join us?"
The other four squads all have five members; this was found to be the most reasonable number by the Dawn Guild after some time of exploration.
Assault, stealth, intelligence, support, and finally, a multifunctional talent.
If too many members, it would more easily trigger the rules of the Rule Zone, thus inviting some unavoidable horrors to descend.
So although the other four squads all wanted someone like Lilia, in the end, they didn’t compete with the squad that had suffered a reduction.
Lilia lowered her head, looking even more dejected: "No, my teammates might not all be dead yet, I have to find them, and besides... I want to be with members from different squads."
Tyler was slightly stunned, somewhat puzzled: "Why?"
"One of my teammates was killed outside Night Town, the murderer took everything from him, and before I found his body, the communicator still tried to contact me. I suspect someone is hunting Dawn Squads..." Lilia’s voice carried a hint of fear.
As she spoke, the expressions of the five Dawn Squads instantly changed. They suspiciously looked around at the other squads, and the atmosphere grew more oppressive.
In the background of these squads, Charles’ eyes flickered. He instantly thought of the Pu Shengzai Seed, and his murderous intent grew stronger.
Going for the root....
His complexion changed subtly as he stepped forward: "Everyone, it’s best not to doubt your teammates. You can all check and verify each other’s identities. Being here shows you’ve seen what I’ve posted in the guild. Since you’ve been to the guild, your itinerary should be traceable..."
Mutual suspicion among Dawn Squads isn’t good.
The eyes of the five squad leaders lit up, and they all picked up their communicators.
Lilia looked up and said weakly: "My name is Lilia, a member of the Gula Squad, you can check too."
"Don’t worry, if your claim is verified, we will also help you find that perpetrator!" Tyler tried to maintain a gentle tone.
Lilia nodded, moving a bit closer to Tyler, then she looked at Charles with some fear: "If we can all be checked, then how do we check this gentleman’s information?"
The five squads were taken aback, then all looked toward Charles, their gazes starting to shift.
Charles smiled and explained: "Fudong, I have data, as I mentioned, all my teammates died in Night Town, otherwise, I wouldn’t have sought your assistance..."
