Chapter 892: Chapter 856: Look, the Moon Is So Big Tonight
It seems that search engines are not omnipotent, and the main task had to rely on his own efforts.
That night, Gu Mian updated the main task, leading fifty lower-class people to sneak outside Jile Island.
This Upper Class People residential area, although called "Jile Island," is not a true island; it’s just slightly elevated compared to its surroundings, making it easy to see the distant scenes from the wall surrounding Jile Island.
To the west of Jile Island lies a large orchard where Gu Mian and the rest hid, observing the situation on Jile Island from afar.
At this time, the Upper Class People had not completely dominated the world, and there were occasional frictions between them and the lower-class, so the outskirts of the Upper Class residential area were mostly lined with long walls.
Gu Mian saw shadows occasionally flashing on the wall, evidently indicating people were up there.
"You, go ahead and silently check how many people are guarding the wall of Jile Island, and then see how many are at the main gate," Gu Mian instructed the weakest lower-class person in the group.
This person had the smallest build, making them ideal for reconnaissance work.
"Yes, Hero!" The lower-class person assigned the reconnaissance task replied loudly, then dashed off.
Wait a minute...
Is it really necessary to shout that loud? You should know that tonight’s mission is an ambush after all.
Gu Mian suspected that this lower-class person wasn’t even listening to the instructions, for he charged forward blatantly without any disguise and began jogging around the exterior of Jile Island’s wall.
The sound of his running was not small, and because of his weak physique, his breathing was labored, gasping heavily. His heavy panting was clear and audible to Gu Mian, who was far away in the orchard, let alone the Upper Class people on the wall.
At that moment, Gu Mian saw a shadow above move closer to the wall, appearing to be looking down after hearing something.
Just when Gu Mian thought the lower-class person doing the reconnaissance was about to be discovered, the figure near the edge of the wall suddenly spat outside, then pulled their head back.
It turned out they weren’t looking down due to noise; they just wanted to spit.
How can they not hear such loud noise below?
Seeing this, Gu Mian became more convinced that the Upper Class people here had turned into robots.
The lower-class person tasked by Gu Mian to do the reconnaissance ran a full circle around the wall and returned to report the findings.
"Hero, the reconnaissance discovered a total of one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine Upper Class people on Jile Island, of which one thousand five hundred and fifty-two have already rested. Among the awake, twenty-three are stationed on the wall, and ten guard the main gate of Jile Island."
So, just running a circle outside the wall provided so much information, right?
Even knowing so clearly how many Upper Class people have already rested, even Sun Wukong with his fiery eyes might not achieve such high efficiency.
Gu Mian highly suspected that this data was already in his head, and circling Jile Island was merely for the sake of acting out the reconnaissance.
The main gate of Jile Island is to the south, and from Gu Mian’s position, he could gaze at it from afar.
He caught a glimpse of the brightly lit main gate to the south, then turned back towards the lower-class person who had just completed the reconnaissance mission.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the lower-class person swaggered past the main gate earlier, yet the ten Upper Class people stationed there seemed blind, not noticing him at all.
"You, go take down the ten Upper Class people at the main gate," Gu Mian issued a new task, curious to see how far he could go.
"Yes, Hero!" The lower-class person eagerly responded, seemingly excited, but his facial expression didn’t match the tone of expectation.
His face was pale, gaze filled with terror, clearly showing deep fear of the task assigned by Gu Mian.
Despite the overwhelming fear in his heart, his body involuntarily turned towards the main gate of Jile Island, legs uncontrollably lifting as he hurriedly ran towards it.
"Evil Upper Class people, watch me defeat you now!" he shouted empowering slogans while running towards them.
The slogan’s volume was not small, shaking a few leaves off the branches above Gu Mian’s head.
But those at the main gate remained as if they had not heard, eerily aligned with their backs to the direction of the lower-class person.
"Ahhhh! I can’t stand it. What’s happening? Why am I inexplicably running here to this dilapidated main gate to stand guard?"
"Did you see the lower-class person who just ran past us? It’s like seeing a ghost; a lower-class person dared to run around near our Upper Class residential area, ignoring us. I wanted to catch him, but couldn’t move my body."
"The residential area suddenly became like this, and our bodies aren’t under our control. And now a lower-class person is arrogantly running around in front of us. I noticed earlier there seemed to be a large group of lower-class people hiding in the western orchard. Can anyone report them to the Order Guard to catch them? I can’t move at all."
"The west? Didn’t you notice earlier that our bodies involuntarily turned east? We can’t see anything happening in the west, even if that group of lower-class people comes over, we wouldn’t know."
At this moment, the Upper Class People at the door heard a swaggering slogan from behind—
"Evil Upper Class People, watch how I sneak attack you!"
After hearing the sound from behind, the Upper Class People wanted to turn around and make a defensive move, but couldn’t move at all.
One of them even involuntarily looked up at the eastern sky and said against his will: "Look, the moon is really big today."
"Yes, yes, the moon is really big today."
"Ah, such a beautiful scenery, let’s admire it a bit more."
Everyone echoed, looking up at the sky, indulging in the spectacle of the beautiful moon.
Seeing that the gatekeeping Upper Class People hadn’t discovered them, the lower-class people at the door looked around and then grabbed a handful of small pebbles from the ground, throwing them one by one at the backs of several Upper Class People: "Check out my weapon!"
A pebble the size of a QQ candy hit one of the Upper Class People’s shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain: "Someone’s attacking me!"
He then clutched his shoulder, shivering as if he’d suffered a deadly wound, and fell to the ground, fell to the ground...
Only then did the other Upper Class People react as if they just realized what was happening: "It’s the lower-class people, it’s the lower-class people, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
But these Upper Class People were no match for QQ candies and were struck down, twitching and falling.
Damn it.
Watching this dramatic scene from afar, Gu Mian couldn’t help but curse. Words could no longer describe the rich emotional activity in his heart at this moment.
At this point, the brave lower-class contestant had already jogged back: "Hero, I’ve successfully defeated ten Upper Class People guarding the gate."
His expression no longer looked fearful as it did when he left, instead appearing a bit dazed, as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just done.
"Alright, then let’s sneak in now," said Gu Mian mechanically, twitching the corners of his mouth.
He was too lazy to make any unnecessary expressions on his face.
Gu Mian walked ahead expressionlessly, leading a group of lower-class people behind him. Their expressions had changed from initial fear to confusion and disbelief.
They had all seen everything just now, saw the lower-class person rush out and defeat ten Upper Class People guarding the gate of Jile Island with a few small pebbles.
This was something the lower-class people had never dared to dream of. Not to mention throwing stones, they didn’t even dare to make eye contact with Upper Class People.
Now Gu Mian had arrived at the entrance to Jile Island with a mighty group of lower-class people, yet the Upper Class People standing on the wall seemed blind and didn’t notice such a large group of lower-class people approaching.
Gu Mian got closer to the door and saw that the gate of Jile Island was wide open, allowing a glimpse of the bright lights inside from the entrance.
Through the gate, occasional silhouettes could be seen walking inside, but those people ignored the large crowd outside the gate, focusing on their own tasks.
"Hero, we’ve conquered the gate and can now rush in to capture those evil Upper Class People inside!" said a lower-class person stepping forward, speaking grandly to Gu Mian.
But at that moment, an incongruous voice suddenly interrupted.
"No.9! You are... No.9!" It was the voice from an Upper Class Person lying beaten on the ground.
Gu Mian looked towards the sound, seeing one Upper Class Person painfully raise his head to look at him.
He stared at Gu Mian, eyes full of anger: "You got Order Guard killed in the forbidden zone, blew up the Circus audience seats, and just recently wrecked the Trial and Crown show!"
Hmm? He was recognized.
Looks like these Upper Class People still retained some control over their bodies.
"Damn No.9, what the hell are you up to, are we... Ah, it’s the terrifying lower-class Hero Gu Mian!" The Upper Class Person originally wanted to keep roaring at Gu Mian, but midsentence changed his tone abruptly, like a duck having its neck stepped on.
"The lower-class Hero Gu Mian is truly valiant... effortlessly defeating ten of us, it seems... it seems we Upper Class People are destined to perish at his hands." The Upper Class Person, as if robbed of his soul, scatteredly uttered these words, finally completing his mission as his head drooped to the ground.
The lines made Gu Mian a bit embarrassed, so he quickly stepped into Jile Island to get away from this awkward place.
Once inside Jile Island, they advanced unhindered.
Whenever the passing Upper Class People were about to look at them, they’d promptly turn away to admire the beautiful moon in the sky.
"Hero! We’re successfully disguised, not a single Upper Class Person has noticed us yet!" A lower-class person stood next to an Upper Class Person admiring the moon and loudly reported to Gu Mian.
