Chapter 952 Destined To Be Lively
Cosmos was a little overwhelmed by Anthony's words.
However, he agreed with Anthony's sentiment that it was better to prevent problems before they occur. At that time, it was best not to be overly confident.
With that thought, Cosmos stood up. “The dedicated phone for contacting that base is in another room. I need to go there!”
Anthony didn't have time to ask too many questions. He looked at Cosmos and said, “The faster, the better!”
Cosmos nodded, then immediately left.
At that moment, Anthony was staring at the computer, feeling an indescribable tension and fear deep within his heart.
Dave had mentioned the plan to Anthony, and they indeed intended to lure the enemy into the trap. However, if Anthony's memory served him right, that wasn't the address.
As he was deep in thought, the cell phone on the table suddenly began to ring.
Upon seeing Dave's name, he immediately answered, “Hello, Mr. Dave. How are you guys doing now?”
“We just received news that Boss has already left. Currently, we're still waiting!” answered Dave.
Anthony furrowed his brows. “Mr. Dave, can you tell me the location of the place you've decided to sacrifice this time?”
“Are you coming over?”
“No, I have something urgent that needs confirmation right now!” Anthony said.
Hearing the boy's serious tone, Dave didn't think twice and directly told the former the location.
Anthony typed in the location on his computer, but the landmark displayed was not where he expected it to be.
Looking at the computer, Anthony grimaced slightly. “Mr. Dave, I'm afraid things are getting out of our control now!”
“What does it mean?” inquired Dave.
“Just now, while I was attacking Vermillion Base's network, I encountered the hacker who had previously invaded your home network. Just a moment ago, he sent me a set of numbers. After a brief analysis, I confirmed that they are coordinates. Cosmos also told me these coordinates point to another location within your base!”
Upon hearing that, Dave paused for a moment. “Are you saying Boss might have gone somewhere else?”
“That's right!”
Dave fell silent for a moment. Unlike Cosmos, he didn't outright deny the possibility. If the dark web could potentially be infiltrated with a set of bugged numbers, then the exposure of their base location was also plausible.
However, he still had some reservations about what the boy said. “Anthony, give me a reason why you trust this person!”
After a moment of thought, Anthony spoke earnestly. “Mr. Dave, I can't provide you with any reason. It's just my intuition. I'm not sure whether to trust it or not, but if it were me, I would believe it!”
After about five seconds of silence, Dave said, “I understand now!”
After that, the call ended.
Anthony held his phone, a wave of inexplicable tension rising from the depths of his heart. That feeling was far more intense than when he was working in front of the computer.
He knew clearly that Dave would definitely go because they were of the same kind. Regardless of truth or falsehood, they would always minimize their losses.
With those thoughts in mind, Anthony sat there, staring sternly at the computer.
Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Dave looked at Kenneth with a serious expression.
At that moment, Kenneth came over and asked, “What's wrong?”
Dave looked up, his gaze meeting Kenneth's. “Anthony just called me.”
Kenneth's brows slightly furrowed. “And?”
“He received a message that Vermillion Base may attack us somewhere else tonight,” Dave muttered.
Kenneth looked at him, his eyes narrowing.
“What's your take on this news?” Dave asked him directly.
Kenneth pondered for a moment. “Based on the departure time, Boss should have at least reached our planned ambush site by now. Yet, we still haven't received any news.”
As he spoke, he lifted his gaze to share a glance with Dave.
Without uttering a word to each other, the two immediately headed toward the car.
Their plan was to depart immediately.
At that moment, Luke asked, “Dave, where are you going?”
“To the southern district base!” Dave said.
Without much time to react, Luke immediately got in the car and followed along.
In the car, Dave was driving. Kenneth was sitting in the passenger seat while Luke was seated in the back.
As Dave drove, he spoke into the walkie-talkie. “Mike, you're on guard duty today. If anything unusual happens, follow the plan.”
“All right, Dave,” answered Mike.
Upon receiving a response, Dave tossed the walkie-talkie aside without a second thought. “Luke, notify our comrades in the southern district immediately. Have them ready for defense at all times. Also, tell our comrades along the border that if they spot anyone from Vermillion Base, they must inform us right away!”
Upon hearing that, Luke nodded in agreement and immediately made contact with their people.
At that moment, Kenneth was sitting in the passenger seat, glancing at Dave. “Twenty minutes. Can you make it?”
Dave glanced at him. “Others may not be able to, but I can!” With that, he immediately stepped on the gas pedal.
On the road, there wasn't much conversation between the two. Dave drove the car at breakneck speed while Kenneth sat next to him, tightly gripping the overhead handle.
After ten minutes, Luke leaned halfway out from behind. “Dave, we've received a message from one of our guys. He spotted vehicles from Vermillion Base heading toward the southern district.”
“How many people?” asked Dave.
“Over a dozen vehicles, three of them are armed with heavy weaponry!” declared Luke solemnly.
Upon hearing that, Dave and Kenneth exchanged a glance.
“It seems Boss is determined to win!” said Kenneth.
“Unsurprising, considering both you and I are as good as dead. Of course he'll go to any lengths to do this. I just didn't expect his ambitions to be so grand!” Dave muttered.
“Can you handle things over in the southern district?” Kenneth asked, a hint of worry in his voice.
At that moment, Dave turned his head toward Kenneth with a frown. He spoke with feigned seriousness. “Well, unfortunately, all the heavy weapons are over there.”
Upon hearing Dave's words, Kenneth couldn't help but grin.
As he looked out the window, he felt that the heavens were on their side. We have to win tonight.
As he was thinking that, Kenneth suddenly realized something. He turned his head to look at Dave. “Wait a minute. Do you think Boss chose to attack this place because he was interested in these things?”
Dave looked ahead. “I was just thinking about the same issue.”
“His greed is really something!” Kenneth muttered.
“There's no helping it. That's all a poor man can see!” Dave said.
“Quit boasting and hurry up, or there'll be nothing left by the time we get there!” Kenneth warned. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Dave chuckled dismissively. “Kenneth, you surely don't think that DX has remained the same all these years, do you?”
“You seem confident. Is there a surprise?” Kenneth asked back.
With a smile, Dave said, “You'll know when we get there!” With that, he immediately stepped on the gas, and the car sped off.
The road was virtually devoid of any vehicles and very dark. Kenneth fixed his gaze on the emptiness ahead, which evoked an indescribable sense of void within him. Tonight's destined to be lively.
