Global Shelter Game

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Infiltration

Bena observed for a while longer, confirming Zhou Yue’s assessment.

"These mutant creatures are indeed on patrol," Bena said in a low voice. "We need to be careful and try not to attract their attention."

Neil nodded. "I agree with Captain Bena. The patrol patterns of these mutant creatures are clearly man-made."

"If we make any rash moves, we’ll likely alert the enemy."

Zhou Mei lowered her binoculars and looked at Bena.

"So, what should we do? A direct assault is obviously not a good idea."

Neil frowned slightly.

The number of mutants scattered around the abandoned industrial park wasn’t that high, and given their low intelligence, bypassing the obvious patrols should have been relatively easy.

However, they had just captured a mutant creature a couple of days ago.

So they hadn’t forgotten that besides the obvious mutants on display, the enemy might also be controlling more stealthy ones.

The visible patrols were easy to avoid, but the hidden forces would be much harder to deal with.

Bena pondered for a moment, then looked at Neil.

"Neil, do you have any suggestions?"

Neil was a Mutant Hunter and had a deep understanding of the habits and characteristics of mutant creatures.

He thought for a moment, then said,

"These mutants may be on patrol, but they aren’t very smart. We can try a few things to interfere with them."

"For example, we could set some traps or use bait to draw their attention, then use the opportunity to sneak into the industrial park."

Bena nodded.

"That’s a good idea, but there’s another problem we need to consider."

"These mutants are likely just the visible patrol force. The enemy probably has more stealthy ones hidden away."

"We need to be ready for anything."

Zhou Mei also agreed.

"Bena’s right. We can’t let our guard down."

"These mutants aren’t that strong individually, but there are a lot of them. If they swarm us, they’ll definitely slow us down, and our target might use the chance to escape."

"Our target is the chip controller in his hands. If he gets away, all our efforts will be for nothing."

Lanton and Zhou Yiming also agreed.

They were both experienced Warriors and knew they had to be cautious in this situation.

Just then, Neil suddenly proposed an idea of his own.

"The D14 chip controller can control all D14 chips. Does that mean we might be able to use it to control these mutants on the perimeter?"

Bena and Zhou Mei looked at Neil, a little surprised. They hadn’t considered that possibility.

Lanton also looked thoughtful. "Neil’s idea might just work. If we can control the perimeter mutants, it would save us a lot of trouble."

Bena nodded. "Then let’s try this method first. Neil, you try to control these mutants."

"Right, Captain Bena." Neil accepted the order and began trying to use the D14 chip controller to influence the mutants on the perimeter.

They found a hidden spot, and Neil carefully took out the D14 chip controller, attempting to establish a connection with the nearest mutant.

As Neil worked, the controller’s indicator light gradually lit up, and he began to sense the signals of the surrounding mutants.

A moment later, fine beads of sweat appeared on Neil’s forehead. Clearly, this was no easy task.

But as time passed, he gradually adapted to the mutants’ signal frequency.

The mutant hyena closest to Neil shook its head, a puzzled look on its face. After a moment’s hesitation, however, it quickly caught up with the patrol ahead.

Neil wiped the sweat from his forehead. He kept his voice low, but he couldn’t hide the excitement on his face.

"It’s working!"

"I can control these mutant creatures."

Smiles appeared on everyone’s faces. Things were going even more smoothly than they had expected.

Bena nodded.

"Good. Keep control of the mutants and buy us time to infiltrate."

"Understood." Neil continued to operate the controller, making the surrounding mutants move in other directions, creating a path for the team to sneak through.

Under Neil’s control, the once-tight patrols began to slacken.

The controller also confirmed that there were no other hidden mutants in the factory’s vicinity.

The group didn’t rush to attack. Instead, they waited quietly for nightfall.

Once darkness had completely fallen, Bena immediately led the team toward the abandoned industrial park.

They carefully passed through the outer patrols. Under Neil’s control, the mutants showed no unusual signs.

Soon, the team had easily bypassed the outer ring of patrol posts.

Bena signaled for the team to stop and looked at Neil. "Neil, can you maintain control over these mutants?"

They didn’t have to search hard. After nightfall, there was only one place in the abandoned factory that was still lit.

The team stopped outside the factory building. Bena scanned the surroundings and found nothing out of the ordinary. He signaled to Zhou Mei, indicating for her to scout ahead.

Zhou Mei was agile. Using the cover of darkness, she quickly approached a factory window and carefully peered inside.

The factory interior was spacious but very dim, lit by only a few faint yellow lights.

In the center of the factory, Zhou Mei saw a large mutant creature—it looked like a mutant bear—sitting on the ground. Next to it, a figure in a white lab coat was busy operating some instruments.

Several smaller mutant hounds were also present, constantly pacing inside the factory.

Zhou Mei watched for a while longer, then returned to the team and reported the situation to Bena.

"There’s a mutant bear and a person in a lab coat inside. It looks like they’re conducting some kind of experiment," Zhou Mei said in a low voice.

Bena lowered his voice and began assigning tasks.

"Neil, control those mutant hounds just like before."

"The bear is mine."

"Zhou Mei, see if you can neutralize the one in the lab coat directly."

"Everyone else, provide support!"

Bena’s plan was quickly accepted, and the team moved out, dividing tasks according to his instructions.

Neil continued using the D14 chip controller to control the mutant hounds, ensuring they wouldn’t interfere with the team’s actions.

Bena, meanwhile, focused intently on the mutant bear in the center of the factory, ready to move and subdue the massive creature at any moment.

Zhou Mei stealthily approached the factory, looking for an opportunity to take down the person in the lab coat.

Lanton, Zhou Yiming, Hawke, and the three bionic humans provided backup from the side, ready to offer support at a moment’s notice.

Under Neil’s control, the mutant hounds inside the factory failed to notice the infiltrators, continuing to pace about as before.
