My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 282 - 279 Thanks to the Contributions Made by

They rented the most popular suite among adventurers, with a total of five rooms, perfectly accommodating the needs of a small adventure group.

After entering, the last person closed the door tightly and locked it.

An Awakener with a Black Snake tattoo on his arm gave the other four a look, and they dispersed to conduct a thorough search of each room.

“Boss, it’s clear.”

“Yeah, no bugs, no hidden cameras.”

“We truly are professionals.”

Black Snake coughed once and waved everyone over with a gathered gesture of his fingers.

The five huddled together in a circle.

Black Snake pondered briefly before speaking in a low voice, “We’ve scouted the whole Sanctuary, excluding the castle’s forbidden area. It seems like Green Shadow’s secrets are likely hidden within the castle.”

A man with an open shirt revealing a tattoo that resembled a Unicorn spoke up, “Black Snake Boss is right, but the forbidden area is under strict guard. How do we get in?”

“But strict guard? I didn’t see any guards around,” one of the underlings expressed in confusion.

Unicorn immediately slapped him on the head, “Idiot, we’re so far away, how could we possibly see the guards? From where we were observing, we couldn’t even see the castle’s gate unless there were guards standing on the rooftops.”

“Unicorn is right,” Black Snake mused for a moment, “This is enemy territory. Even though we are among the top experts of Lingshan City, we can’t possibly stand against the entire power of Green Shadow’s Sanctuary. We must sneak in covertly. But the castle is large, and we don’t know the internal layout. If we just barge in, it’s very likely we’ll get caught.”

He frowned, “Previously, the City Lord sent people here to buy off a few informants. We thought these spies could bring back some valuable information, but unfortunately, we’ve lost contact with that guy. He must have been exposed, either captured or executed by Green Shadow; otherwise, we would have had more intelligence.”

“But from our recent investigations, Green Shadow Sanctuary hasn’t shown much activity, which may be partly due to their fear of us, Lingshan City… After all, the City Lord is also a super expert who has broken through that level. On the other hand, perhaps Green Shadow is currently facing pressure from Lindong,”

Black Snake sneered.

Tatted with a unicorn, the burly man chimed in, “Boss makes sense, but if Green Shadow can’t withstand the pressure and offers its secrets to the Lindong officials, then we will have nothing to do with it. Moreover, if we continue to drag our feet, the City Lord will also become dissatisfied with us.”

Black Snake glanced at him, “Of course I’m aware of this; I plan to make a move in two or three nights.”

“Why at that time?” A subordinate didn’t understand.

“In two days, the Green Shadow business district will open. At that time, many foreign Awakeners will flood into the business district, and Green Shadow will definitely strengthen the security there. But the number of Awakeners can’t increase out of thin air; the most likely scenario is that the guards from the castle will be reassigned to the business district, leaving the castle’s defenses empty.”

“Not only that, according to the rumors we’ve investigated, after the opening of the business district, Green Shadow is planning to host a Martial Path Tournament…”

Black Snake looked at the others and seeing that no one picked up after him, his eyes revealed a hint of disappointment. He sighed and then continued, “The Martial Path Tournament is just a ruse by Green Shadow. The rumors also mention that the Green Shadow Patrol Team is planning its third recruitment. Only Awakeners who achieve a certain rank in the Martial Path Tournament will be eligible to join.”

“This information confirms that Green Shadow is facing immense pressure and needs to recruit more Awakeners to stand firm against Lindong.”

Black Snake picked up a teacup and sipped from it, his eyes shimmering with a confidence named ‘self-assured’.

It was then that the other members had their sudden realization, with admiring words flowing like a barrage, which Black Snake quite enjoyed.

…

…

Labeled as a forbidden area, the castle, if any survivors were fortunate to be invited in, would find it nearly void of human figures.

The castle seemed desolate, with at most some Puppet servants for simple tasks like serving tea and water, their wheel mechanisms at the base whisking them back and forth across the red carpet.

Within the territory, there were quite a few red dots, and Tang Yu was well aware of it, but he had not dealt with these people.

As the population of the Sanctuary grew, especially with the construction of the business district, the survivors consisted of a mixed lot, including spies sent from various factions.

These spies, although they intended to steal secrets and harm the Sanctuary, many of them either had not acted yet or could not find the opportunity to do so. As Lord Tang, who planned to develop the Territory into a commercial Holy Land, found it difficult to simply wipe them out. Sometimes observing them led to unearthing even greater secrets.

Moreover, these spies, in their efforts to gather information, often spent lavishly without hesitation… Tang Yu guessed that the spies could claim expenses from their backing factions, which was just fantastic, contributing enormously to the business volumes of various shops within the Territory.

Sometimes, certain overly eager spies would even provide a stark lesson to other external Awakeners in the Territory at the right moment.

Their contributions were genuinely grand.

At this moment, inside the room.

Through the Crystal Ball, Tang Yu was observing the fight that had just occurred at the Martial Arts Arena.

He was unlike ordinary people; his focus wasn’t on the two combatant Awakeners. Such low-level fights no longer interested Expert Tang. His attention was on the number and enthusiasm of the spectators watching the battle.

“Just an ordinary fight has attracted so many onlookers; the upcoming Martial Path Tournament will surely bring even greater footfall to the Territory…”
