Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

"This is Dawn's first legion mission! And only our Neko Corps and the Survey Corps are participating, so if we complete it, we'll gain an advantage in the corps level!"

"Everyone outside thinks our two corps aren't strong enough, but on this mission, we'll prove to them that we're also a T0-level corps!"

"The mission we participated in! This is also a milestone event that will be written into the history books!"

Having said that, the Phantom Tank stopped and looked at everyone present with a serious look.

Then he knocked his chest hard with his left hand and shouted:

"Everyone! Fight for a better tomorrow!"

"Ula!"

"Give me your heart!"

"You will lose!!"

Although the players' slogans were always a mess, it was obvious that Phantom's words really aroused everyone's passion.

People’s hearts are available!

Chapter 253 There is really movement

"set off!"

Following the orders from the two captains, nearly eighty players from the two regiments filed out immediately.

Since the 'Cat Corps' has more high-end players, they are responsible for monitoring the refugees, while the 'Survey Corps', which was fully recruited in just one morning, is responsible for the outer security of the trading point, which requires more people.

As for the core members of both sides' corps, they had a banquet together in the cafeteria, ready to see if they could be of any help after the leader captured Li Ji.

No matter what, they have to help maintain order on the scene.

Of course, many newbies at the trading points also followed the Survey Corps out.

"Hey, hey, do you know why everyone in the Survey Corps is running away?"

"I don't know. I heard they accepted a mission from the Corps, but they won't tell me the details."

"So mysterious?"

"It seems like they are going to fight outside. They look well-equipped."

"How about we go and take a look too? Even if we keep it a secret, you can't stop us from following, right? It's almost morning anyway, and there's no time to do other tasks."

"go!"

Hearing these words, Li Ji frowned as he walked calmly past a few newbies.

Go out and fight?

We don't have any plans for a large-scale attack on this trading post recently.

And where did these residents come from?

There was no movement or notification yesterday, and then suddenly there were hundreds of more people at the trading point this morning?

Did you teleport in?

Li Ji silently looked up at the sky, then walked back into the cafeteria's kitchen.

Because they were worried about being exposed, the wind-like birds rarely flew into the trading point. At most, they would pass by from the sky, take a look at the situation inside, and then fly away immediately.

Li Ji now has no proper reason to leave the trading point, resulting in it being completely without intelligence support.

So, is this dinner a trap?

Li Ji walked silently to the front of his seat, then turned to look at Li Si who was not far away, and asked casually: "Fourth Uncle, why did Uncle Li Bang suddenly want to cook a meal for the leader?"

"Ok?"

Li Si glanced back at Li Ji, then back at his chopping board. He continued processing the ingredients while saying:

"Actually, Li Bang had this idea before, but after all, it was not appropriate to entertain the leader alone, so he never dared to speak up."

"But the chief's fellow townsmen happened to be here today, so we thought we'd have a meal to celebrate and let them try our Shaling Town specialties."

Li Ji nodded, as if suddenly realizing something, and said, "So we were the ones who brought it up."

"of course."

Li Si turned around and glanced at Li Ji again.

"The chief has never asked us for anything, so don't let your imagination run wild."

"I definitely won't," Li Ji said with a smile, "There's probably no one in the gathering place who admires the leader more than me."

Because the dishes they wanted to make were different, the two stayed in the kitchen for a while before Li Ji went out again.

Some of the ingredients in his dishes needed to be made on the spot, and Li Si also had some seasonings that were not prepared yet, so he asked him to go to the warehouse to buy some ingredients.

It was quickly approaching evening.

The people from Li Village simply set up a large table in the corner of the cafeteria, and [Turn into Light to Protect All Cats] and [Phantom Tank] also found a place nearby to wait.

"Have you found anyone suspicious?" Maomao asked in a low voice while eating the snacks he bought from town.

"There is a group of people in the west, about twenty of them, no car, all equipped with guns, and half of them are wearing armor." Phantom Tank also grabbed a handful of snacks from the can in Mao Mao's arms, and then continued.

"But they are moving very slowly and cautiously, and are now about ten kilometers away from the trading point."

"These demons are really prepared." Maomao nodded slightly.

A distance of ten kilometers would take about two hours if you march quickly.

If the demon's poisoning plan goes smoothly, this group of people will just be able to reach the trading point.

"Someone is already watching them." Phantom Tank threw the snack into his mouth and then continued in a low voice, "If that group of people continue to move towards us, Fat Tiger will lead the brothers over there."

"What about you guys? Is there any movement in Lijia Village?"

The cat shook its head slightly, then secretly moved the snack can in its hand to the side.

"Those people are very quiet. Only Li Si and Li Ji are busy preparing meals at the trading point. The others are living their usual lives."

"but……"

The cat paused, then glanced around again.

"There's something a little strange about a refugee convoy a little far from the Lijia Village camp."

"How to say?"

Phantom Tank stood up and reached over the cat's body, took another handful of snacks from the snack jar over there, then turned to look at the cat and asked.

"They brought two children with them when they arrived. I heard from the refugees nearby that they could hear the children crying almost every day."

The cat seemed to have given up and simply stuffed the snack can into the arms of the Phantom Tank.

"Isn't this normal?" Phantom Tank said while holding the snack can and chewing the snacks in his mouth.

Although the quality of the whole nation has improved, people on Blue Planet no longer beat or scold their children as often.

But the game is set in a chaotic world after all. When everyone is worried about their livelihood, not abandoning the child is already a sign of good character. As for beating and scolding, it is considered normal.

"Just listen to me first." Maomao waved his hand.

"The main thing is that the two children haven't cried or screamed since this afternoon, and according to the refugees nearby, the sounds stopped abruptly."

"Ok?"

Phantom Tank immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Where's the team information? Let me take a look."

"Sent to you."

Phantom Tank immediately called up the circle and opened the private message with Maomao.

Become light and protect all cats: 18 men, 2 women, and 2 children under 12 years old.

"This ratio is a bit unusual," Phantom Tank said, looking back at Maomao. "Did they approve it straight away?"

"Based on testimonies from other refugee groups, several groups said they had encountered this group of people and gave them very good reviews," Maomao said. "They even donated some supplies to other groups."

"Giving away supplies? Are you being kind to me for no reason?"

The Phantom Tank felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Are any of you going to watch them? They don't look like good people."

"Lao Ba took people over." Maomao nodded slightly.

[Secret Hamburger] is the fourth batch of players to enter Dawn. Although he is not a civil engineer, he has been hanging out with Maomao and others for many years, so he joined the Maomao team directly this morning.

The current level has reached 13, which is considered the top combat force of the Cat Team.

Chapter 254: Guys, Stand at Attention

"And there is another piece of information."

Maomao smiled and looked at a refugee who was busy at the dining table.

"The person who will help serve the food later is the leader of this refugee caravan."

"Team leader? Help serve the food?"

Phantom Tank paused in grabbing the snacks, then he blinked hard and looked towards the dining table as if nothing had happened.

"It's that muscular man." Maomao also said very timely.

The Phantom Tank's originally wandering gaze was instantly locked.

A burly man wearing a white vest on his upper body and gray shorts on his lower body was sitting at the dining table.

"Looks like a nice guy." His eyes swept around the cafeteria and then stopped on the can of snacks in his arms.

"There's nothing we can do about it. In this game, the more someone looks like a good guy, the more likely they are to be a bad guy." Maomao shrugged and said.

Because of the purchase of building materials, he often went to Yunhe Town and naturally got to know some people in the town.

Moreover, when the workers were moving things, they also liked to talk to these outsiders about some interesting things in the town, including countless "good guys" demons that had been captured.

I can only sigh that what Lu Xun said does make sense.

Know people, know faces, but don’t know hearts.

As time gradually approached evening, gas lamps were lit in the trading point.

Because there are many more houses here than in the gathering place, and the Cat Team also took the overall planning of the city into consideration when building it, so after it was basically completed, it really does have some shadows of the Blue Star society when you walk around.

At least it is somewhat similar to the urban areas of some more remote towns in the early 21st century.

After fermenting for most of the day, the news that the 'Cat Corps' and the 'Survey Corps' had received their first corps mission spread throughout the forum.

A total of 1500 newbies had almost a whole day to run from other places to the trading point to join in the fun.

And most people did so.

So the trading point tonight is more lively than ever.

Especially now it is four or five o'clock in Blue Star time, the evening in the game, and there are people everywhere inside and outside the trading point, almost exceeding the upper limit of the number of people that this novice village can accommodate.

Therefore, the capsule hotel that Maomao provided for the players to temporarily stay was fully booked early today.

The only pure land should be the mission hall where Tang Yi is.

"It seems that we have caught almost all the fish we should catch."

In the office, Tang Yi watched Xiaoxing constantly putting various information on the screen in real time.

This includes the situation in the cafeteria, the situation in various refugee camps, and the situation outside the trading points. All of this information is released only after Xiaoxing's strict selection.

Apart from the two refugee teams that Maomao and Phantom Tank had just talked about, no one else noticed anything unusual.

"Then let's go. Two groups of refugees, nearly fifty people, are quite a harvest."

Tang Yi stood up and stretched beautifully.

"We can't really eat this meal after all, and the refugees in the trading post have all gone back. It's time to close the net."

At this time, in the cafeteria, the final cooking work was in full swing.

"Li Ji, the leader hasn't arrived yet, so don't put your dish in the pot yet."
