Chapter 389: Biological Weapon

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In REBIRTH, refugees were considered to be a very special existence. They belonged to neither the Light Faction nor the Dark Faction. In fact, they didn’t even belong to the Neutral Faction.

These fellas had no residence and existed outside every home city. They usually lived together in a group with one leader among them. Occasionally, they would form smaller squads to loot items from villages outside the city. The cities that they would usually loot were those without NPC watching over. Even though these refugees were not like bandits, they were comparatively hard to deal with because of their large number.

The refugees of Twilight City stayed on a hill which was located at the common boundary of Dusk Plains and Dusk Mountain Range.

When Wang Yu and co. arrived, they finally understood why this quest was deemed to be extremely dangerous.

The dwelling place of the refugees was incredibly simple. Bags of crops and food formed a massive circle and within the circle were separated shack houses made with simple materials. It was almost like a small village. For such a simple area, there were actually over a few thousand refugees squeezed into it.

These refugees were all above level 40. Just like the Farmland Destroyer of the Sunset Village, they were the type of monsters with high speed and high attack.

“F*ck! Thank god we asked for some clues earlier. Otherwise, a few of us would have lost some lives…” Everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect mumbled to themselves.

Even Wang Yu was starting to worry about what might happened. If that many nimble monsters really started to gang up on him, he would die in a few seconds without any chance of escaping.

“This seems problematic.” Wang Yu furrowed his brows as he spoke.

There were a few thousand monsters on the other side and only ten of them here. No matter who went in, death seemed to be the only possible outcome.

Fearless replied, “Frost Blade, your level of [Stealth] is pretty high. Go in and see if you can trigger the quest.”

“Alright!” Frost Blade answered as he concealed himself and walked sneakily towards the refugee camp.

Frost Blade’s [Stealth] was already in the upper bound. As long as the monsters weren’t over 30 levels higher than him, they wouldn’t be able to see through his [Stealth]. Therefore, Frost Blade managed to sneaked into the refugee camp easily.

Not too long later, Frost Blade sent a message, “The leader of the refugee, Karl, says that he has not tasted wine for a very long time… Do we have to hand him the wine?”

“No, come back first!” Fearless stopped Frost Blade in a hurry.

“Why don’t we let Frost Blade pass the wine to Karl?” Ming Du asked out of curiosity.

Fearless had yet to reply and Wang Yu was already scratching his chin, “Because this quest is a pit!”

“Oh? You can tell? Explain to us.”A flabbergasted Fearless asked.

Wang Yu had always been the person to deal with everything using his martial arts. Now that Wang Yu mentioned that he could tell this quest was a trap, Fearless couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Wang Yu explained, “The aggro system of these refugees should be the same as those monsters in the Sunset Village.”

“En, they are of the same quest so the aggro system should be the same.” Everyone nodded their heads.

“Those bags of crops are definitely their personal belongings. It was true that we could avoid the aggro of the leader and his minions if we were to get him drunk. However, once we start moving these bags, we would definitely trigger the aggro of these small monsters again.” Wang Yu replied.

“En, not bad! Your analysis is correct and that is indeed the biggest trap!” Fearless nodded.

“F*ck! This game is too vicious!” Everyone started to turn pale with fright.

Back at the Sunset Village, everyone witnessed how the monsters encircled and attacked. Presently, the moment they triggered the aggro of one monster, thousands of them would charge right at them. The outcome was definitely unthinkable.

“Old Bull, if you continue to get better at this, I don’t think there is a need for us to play this game anymore…” Ming Du frowned because he felt a huge pressure. Not only was Wang Yu’s martial arts unmatchable, his IQ seemed to have had a sudden surge.

Wang Yu sighed, “Ai, after being tricked by the NPC too many times… I’ve got no choice but learn to be more cautious.”

“So what should we do? Wait for the sky to turn dark before taking their bags away?” Ming Du asked.

“Do you really think the sky in our place will ever turn dark?” Fearless glanced at the sun as he spoke.

“Tsk…” Ming Du understood as he recalled that the sun in Twilight City would never move. If the sky would not turn dark, refugees would probably not sleep.

Fearless pointed at their camp before saying, “It will work if we can get all the refugees drunk…”

“This is slightly challenging…” Wang Yu replied, “I don’t have that much wine in my bag.”

Wang Yu’s bag only contained hundred bottles of wine… Getting hundred monsters drunk was still possible but there are over a few thousand monsters. Unless they needed to head back to Twilight City to buy? Without mentioning the time and money spent on travelling, the price of getting thousands of monsters drunk was not low too. Moreover, ten people were definitely not enough to transport that many bottles of wine.

Fearless scanned the surrounding before noticing the well on the far side, “We can blend it with water…”

“Tsk! Don’t sprout nonsense! How can a diluted wine make someone drunk?” Wang Yu questioned.

“One look and I can tell you know nothing about wine. In real life, blending types of wine can even cause someone his life, let alone get him drunk.”

“Are you sure that the game works the same way too?”

Fearless scratched his head, “I’m not sure but we can get Brother Spring to dilute the wine with poison… The greatest effect of a Shaman’s poison would be to reduce speed. Once these monsters had their speed reduced, no one would be scared of them anymore.”

“…”

Wang Yu remained speechless for a while before asking, “What shall we do if this doesn’t work?”

“Hehe, what are you scared of? We won’t be the one sending them the wines anyway. At the very most, Frost Blade dies…” Fearless chuckled in a sinister manner.

Frost Blade frowned as he replied, “If you f*ckers planned on plotting against me, can you at least not let me hear about it?”

…

Since the breakthrough for this quest was wine, the system would naturally provide some tips too. One example would be the piling up of some wine buckets at the entrance of the camp.

Everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect shifted the wine bucket to the well. With Fearless commanding everyone, they managed to fill and dilute 90 bottles of wine into 20 big buckets.

Wang Yu tasted the wine and there were bare traces of wine… This was diluting wine with water. In fact, it should be diluting water with wine.

“Frost Blade, prepare yourself to be sacrificed…” Wang Yu patted Frost Blade on his back.

After diluting the wine, Spring Halo took out packets of blue poison. He spreaded it out evenly among the buckets of wine.

Fearless continued to urge from the side, “Throw them all in, throw two more packets. Use this chance to poison them all to death…”

Spring Halo replied in an infuriated tone, “Stop spouting nonsense! If there is a poison which can kill someone, I will pour it in your mouth first! Do you know how much these middle grade poison cost?”

A Shaman’s poison were considered as daily consumable items. The rate of consuming it was even greater than an Archer’s arrows. Even though these poisons were concocted by Spring Halo himself, they were still very pricey.

After adding in the poison, the 20 buckets of ‘diluted wine’ turned blue in colour as they emitted an exotic fragrance… Moreover, the faint blue colour made it looked very tempting.

“Let’s go Frost Blade! We have full faith that you will definitely accomplish the quest with an outstanding performance!”

Frost Blade entered the camp with his [Stealth] while everyone else found a place to hide. None of them took their eyes of the wine bucket near the well. No one had ever imagined that in this virtual world, they would actually be making use of an inhumane biological weapon.
