Chapter 488: Chapter 324: Preparations in Advance
Su Mo returned to the Edge Mansion and went to the designated communication room, opening the secret communication frequency with the Wolf Attack.
The holographic image streams interweaved in front, and the projections of Fenrir, Hibell, and Troy appeared.
The cooperation between Edge and Wolf Attack had been ongoing for a while, with Edge’s military production line running day and night. Various informatized and anti-information warfare equipment were continuously transported to the frontier through secret channels, compensating for Wolf Attack’s biggest shortcoming.
In terms of pure hard power, Wolf Attack was not inferior to Scythe of Death.
Their armaments might not be as advanced as Scythe of Death’s, but in this era, who competes with armaments? Between major forces, it’s all about the strength of top-tier Extraordinary Beings.
Wolf Attack’s elite Extraordinary Beings are not fewer than Scythe of Death’s. Previously, they were purely lagging in informatization, being fooled like monkeys by Scythe of Death everywhere and suffering heavy losses.
Now that informatization is no longer a hindrance, Fenrir and his people caught Scythe of Death’s main forces a few times and immediately caused them pain.
The final result also shows that Zhou Hanyan believed that continuing to fight would not be worth the cost and was already preparing to withdraw Scythe of Death’s forces from the frontier.
This not only boosted Wolf Attack’s reputation throughout the frontier but also trampled Crow’s Nest and Ashen Gang to the point they couldn’t lift their heads.
Meanwhile, Wolf Attack and Edge also established a bond of trust. Although the time they had been in contact was not long, this bond became more solid each day.
Hibell, who had always seemed indifferent to outsiders, now smiled when seeing Su Mo: "Boss, it’s been a long time since we last contacted."
Su Mo nodded in greeting, then said, "Everything going smoothly on your side? I see Scythe of Death has already started to withdraw gradually."
Hibell excitedly said, "Boss, you haven’t seen it, Scythe of Death’s been beaten so badly they wouldn’t recognize their own mother! With the equipment you provided, the enemy’s movements are crystal clear."
"I originally had no concept of informatization, thinking that fighting was just about having tougher fists, but now I realize it’s not the case."
"Before facing Scythe of Death, we were like blind men running around aimlessly, unable to catch anyone, not knowing where to exert our strength."
"After getting informatized equipment, the battlefield became transparent to us. It’s like... um... having a full-map hack in a game, hitting the target every time!"
This analogy made Su Mo, the gaming enthusiast, chuckle.
Fenrir raised his hand to interrupt Hibell, then said to Su Mo: "Director Su, we agreed before not to contact unless it’s necessary. You risked exposure to communicate with us; it should be something important, right?"
Su Mo’s expression also became serious as he got to the point: "Big Sister, I have some difficulties here, and I hope you can understand."
"What I am about to say, don’t ask me why I know; even if you ask, I won’t answer. Just listen."
Fenrir’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, not knowing what Su Mo was up to, but he remained calm: "Understood, I won’t ask, go ahead."
Su Mo gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Deep beneath New Moon City, there is something we might as well call a ’beacon.’
"This beacon is an ultra-high-powered signal transmitter. It can transmit a special frequency of signal that humans cannot perceive but can be sensed by ferocious beasts."
"Once the beacon is activated, all wild ferocious beasts, except for the mechanical ferocious beasts controlled by Spiritual Brain Modifiers, will become frenzied, rushing towards New Moon City."
Hibell was momentarily bewildered and asked, "A signal transmitter... underground? What kind of signal transmitter would be underground? Where did you hear about this?"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
Hibell remembered Su Mo’s earlier words and covered her mouth: "Apologies... I won’t ask."
Fenrir thought for a moment, asking, "Even if what you’re saying is true, so what? New Moon City is located in the heart of the World Government Territory, with no ferocious beasts in sight. Even if the beacon is activated, it shouldn’t have any effect, should it?"
Su Mo smiled wryly: "The beacon is located beneath New Moon City, but I never said its influence is limited to the surrounding area of New Moon City."
Fenrir furrowed his brow: "You mean..."
Su Mo revealed an astonishing answer: "The beacon’s impact range will reach over a thousand kilometers, far exceeding the World Government Territory’s Patrol Station, reaching the Land of No Master."
"Which means that once the beacon is activated, countless wild ferocious beasts will become agitated and rush towards New Moon City."
Upon hearing this, the Wolf Attack Three Giants were left stunned.
Hibell scratched the back of her head, utterly confused, asking, "Boss, you’re leaving me bewildered. It’s not April Fools’ Day today, is it?"
Su Mo shook his head: "No, I’m seriously discussing this with you. This is not an exaggerated warning; it will happen, and it won’t take long for it to occur."
"I’m trying to stop it, but I can confidently tell you that time is not on my side. The ferocious beasts will certainly attack New Moon City, and their numbers will be unimaginably large. The frontier will be the first to suffer, and countless people will die."
Su Mo’s words are not an exaggeration because the "Beacon Incident" is part of the main storyline of the Shuguang game, the second massive event affecting the whole city and even shaking the entire Human Realm, following the "Rust Wall Collapse Incident."
To suppress this incident, one must use something known as the "Black Extinction Virus."
According to the original storyline’s timeline, the protagonist An Churan initially mastered the Black Extinction Virus before the beacon incident, theoretically having the chance to prevent it from happening beforehand.
