Chapter 389 Selection Game 19

At the same time, as if sensing something, Perry Yates suddenly looked toward a particular direction in the sky.

Just a moment ago, she had the feeling she was being watched.

Perry Yates looked at the sky, a glint suddenly flashing in her eyes. A moment later, an explosion rang out overhead, and then a massive, golden Heavenly Eye fell from the sky, shattering into fragments.

Watching this unfold on a screen, the humanoid luminous being felt even more certain its decision was correct. ’Indeed, further restrictions are necessary.’

However, this wasn’t because it wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Perry Yates. Quite the opposite, it was doing this to help her.

If the other guys knew it had such a powerful successor, they would surely target her relentlessly from the very beginning.

Although it often spouted the phrase, "The strong never complain about their environment," this was different from being deliberately targeted. Those guys’ methods were hardly honorable.

Besides, it didn’t matter if she was a little weaker at the start. It believed Perry Yates would definitely be able to persevere to the very end.

Meanwhile, after dealing with the Heavenly Eye, Perry Yates found that the feeling of being monitored hadn’t vanished, though it had weakened considerably.

After searching for a while and finding no trace of other Heavenly Eyes, she simply gave up and resumed hunting Red-Eye Skitterfiends.

Just after she had hunted several Red-Eye Skitterfiends in a row, 001 suddenly spoke up. "Master, after the failed infiltration of the Sky Eye System, I’ve managed to decrypt a portion of the data I copied. Would you like to hear it? It’s regarding the location of the Executor base."

"A base? The Executors have a base?"

"Yes. Their base is a giant spaceship, currently docked one thousand meters above the northernmost edge of the game area."

Upon hearing this, Perry Yates thought for a moment, then turned and headed back toward their base.

Back at the base, Perry Yates gathered Dylan Adler, Jared Yate, Ethan Fuller, and the others, and told them about the Executor base.

"I think this is a good opportunity for a counterattack. It’s better than just sitting around waiting," Perry Yates said, resting her chin on her hand.

The game environments she’d entered recently had been terrible: a primeval forest, a desert, a survival scenario, and now this godforsaken wasteland.

’Hopefully, the next game location will be a bit more normal, with more people.’

’Speaking of which, I haven’t manifested many city-based instances. Solara was one, but it was destroyed later on, too.’

After Perry Yates finished speaking, the group fell silent.

It wasn’t that they thought Perry Yates’s proposal was bad, but rather...

"It’s not that we don’t believe you, but we need to know the source of your information," said a few of them, led by Rory Drake, their expressions grim.

In their view, the number of Executors was already steadily decreasing even without their intervention. There was no need for them to take such a risk.

Dylan Adler, Amber Sheridan, and Ethan Fuller, however, chose to stand with Perry Yates.

They didn’t need to know the source of the information. They trusted that Perry Yates wouldn’t deceive them, and they knew that with her personality, she would tell them eventually, even if they didn’t ask.

And just as they expected, Perry Yates didn’t hide anything. She explained that she had used an item to try and infiltrate the Executors’ system via the Heavenly Eye. Although the attempt failed, she had managed to intercept some data.

"The data was all encrypted. 001 only just managed to decrypt it today."

"And it just so happened to decrypt the location of the Executor base? Don’t you think that’s a little too convenient?"

"Besides, you said your infiltration failed. That means they’re aware of your actions. This data is very likely a trap they set to mislead you."

Upon hearing this, Perry Yates nodded. "You have a point, but I choose to trust my security steward."

She wasn’t going to force anyone. If they had a disagreement, they could simply go their separate ways.

In the end, only Dylan Adler, Ethan Fuller, and Amber Sheridan left with Perry Yates. The remaining players felt their current situation was fine; they just needed to wait, as the Executors’ defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

Amber Sheridan looked back at the base, then at the barrier Perry Yates had conjured, and couldn’t help but say, "Those people don’t think things through. Eighty percent of the base’s security relies on your barrier and your Ice Sky Snow Skill. Once you’re gone, the Phase Shrimp alone will be more than enough to give them a world of trouble."

Perry Yates shrugged. "I respect everyone’s choice. Don’t worry. I can’t guarantee anything else, but when it comes to our safety, there will be absolutely no problems."

"I have a question," Ethan Fuller suddenly asked. "You said the Executor base is a thousand meters off the ground. How are we supposed to get up there? Your items allow you to fly, but the three of us can’t. Are you going to carry us up one by one?"

With the old Any Door, it might have been possible, but they knew the Executors had stolen it from Perry Yates.

Then came the Space-Time Gate, which had a similar function. But in Ethan Fuller’s opinion, the Space-Time Gate’s abilities couldn’t compare to the Any Door at all. The ability to open a passage between two planets alone was something the Space-Time Gate was far from capable of.

"You don’t have to worry about that at all."

As she spoke, Perry Yates snapped her fingers with great confidence. In the next moment, the armor covering her body began to disappear, quickly reverting to the form of a card.

The golden card floated in the air, enveloped in a dense golden light.

The next moment, the card split into four. The brightest piece returned to Perry Yates, while the other three flew toward the others.

"Now you can get up there, can’t you?" Perry Yates said, raising an eyebrow.

Ethan Fuller gave Perry Yates a long, hard look. ’Is she genuinely foolish or just pretending?’ he thought. ’Doesn’t she realize how dangerous it is to share the power of her own card with others?’

’Or is the powerful Wargod Kai also like this? Such a completely unnecessary kindness.’

If Perry Yates knew what Ethan Fuller was thinking, she’d have to call him ungrateful. She just didn’t like to fight. If too many people around her died, then she would undoubtedly have to bear the responsibility of killing the majority of the Executors herself, and the mere thought of that was a hassle.

Besides, going to the Executor base wasn’t just about the counterattack. There was something even more important: she had her sights set on the Executors’ spaceship.

After its previous failure, 001 guaranteed it would succeed this time, but it needed her to get into the spaceship’s main control room. Only then could it take over the ship in the shortest possible time.

Perry Yates told Dylan Adler her plan, asking him to provide cover for her when the time came.

Dylan Adler was stunned by Perry Yates’s idea. He never thought her ambitions were so grand that she’d set her sights on the Executors’ spaceship... ’Then again,’ he thought, ’it’s not entirely impossible.’
