Da Xiong merely glanced at the motorcycles for a while before giving up.
They were wearing thick protective suits, and riding motorcycles would be inconvenient.
If they crashed, not only their own safety would be uncertain, but the suits could easily be torn.
Lin Weidong had previously warned that the protective suits must not be damaged.
This indicated that the air in this area might be dangerous!
"Let's pick this one, the Doomsday Fortress," Da Xiong pointed at the RV.
The front and back of the Doomsday Fortress were completely covered in thick metal.
Even the windows were made of bulletproof glass.
It also had a self-circulating air system inside.
If the air was filled with any viruses, it could provide excellent protection for everyone.
However, there was only one Doomsday Fortress.
Fortunately, Da Xiong's team had come out early and boarded it directly!
The other teams, unable to see the vehicles ahead, could only see Da Xiong and his group disappear.
It seemed like there was no danger.
Thus, the others also became restless and followed Da Xiong's group out of the protective shield.
As soon as they emerged, they only saw that Da Xiong's team had already driven away in the heavily armored Doomsday Fortress!
The remaining vehicles were clearly inferior to that RV!
"Damn it, we're late!" those who came out immediately cursed.
So, the first ones to take the plunge got this benefit!
However, they had no other choice now.
They could only try their best to grab some motorcycles and SUVs.
As for the bus, it was left behind.
Although the bus looked sturdy, it was actually fragile, slow, and prone to flipping.
Since everyone was traveling in teams, the bus's large passenger capacity was useless.
SUVs were much better!
While everyone was busy grabbing vehicles, Da Xiong and his team were already heading towards their destination in the RV.
Inside the vehicle, they found a small map.
The mission location wasn't very large; if driven, it would take about an hour to circle the entire area.
The map was naturally very clear and detailed.
According to the map, there were six laboratories, but their locations were all very concealed.
Some were buried underground, some were disguised as factory exteriors, and others were built inside small mountains.
After Da Xiong flipped through it, he asked the others, "Which laboratory do you think we should go to?"
The time limit for this mission was six hours.
This meant that within six hours, even if they didn't find the data in the laboratory, they had to return to the protective zone.
Otherwise, the transport plane would not wait.
Therefore, their exploration range was significantly reduced.
They could explore at most two laboratories; it was impossible to visit all of them.
So, they needed to make a decision based on geographical location, guessing which laboratory would hold the core data!
"I think the laboratory hidden in the city center should be the priority," one team member said very softly.
After all, the city center had developed transportation, and if important experiments were conducted there, the results could be disseminated quickly.
Furthermore, the transportation of experimental materials would be convenient!
However, another person raised an objection.
"I don't think so. Since we are wearing protective suits, it's highly likely that the results of this laboratory's experiments have leaked and pose a fatal danger."
"It's probably not appropriate to place such dangerous experiments with the most crucial core in the city center!"
This person's reasoning had some validity.
Just as Da Xiong was finding it difficult to make a decision,
Ouyang Feng spoke up, "How about we go to the laboratory disguised as a factory?"
Da Xiong looked up at Ouyang Feng, his eyes carrying a hint of interrogation.
Ouyang Feng met Da Xiong's gaze squarely.
If not for the previous incident and Da Xiong's probing yesterday,
Da Xiong might have thought Ouyang Feng was a very forthright person...
"Why the factory? Isn't the one hidden in the mountains concealed enough?" Da Xiong asked tentatively.
Ouyang Feng smiled and immediately replied, "You don't need to ask me like that. The laboratory disguised as a factory has decent transportation conditions, and it's also sufficiently concealed and hard to detect. It satisfies both criteria simultaneously!"
Neither the laboratory hidden in the mountains nor the one in the city center could satisfy both criteria at the same time!
Hearing this, Da Xiong chuckled, "I thought you had some special channels for information."
Ouyang Feng shrugged and openly admitted, "I do have some information channels, but they're probably not what you're thinking."
Instantly, everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Ouyang Feng.
Apart from the rules Lin Weidong mentioned at the beginning, they were completely clueless about the mission details and what had happened in this small city.
They knew absolutely nothing!
If not for this mission, they probably wouldn't even know this small city existed.
Let alone the laboratories hidden within it!
"When I learned about the mission location, I had someone inquire about it."
"This city was once a branch headquarters for the Shadow Organization."
"They conducted their initial experiments here!"
Ouyang Feng explained.
Of course, after the Shadow Organization was jointly purged, these matters gradually faded into obscurity, and few people remembered them.
This city had paid a heavy price for the Shadow Organization's inhumane experiments.
Both ordinary people and martial artists suffered from various illnesses to a considerable extent.
Everyone chose to move away.
"So, this isn't a simulation, but a real place?" Da Xiong was taken aback.
Ouyang Feng nodded.
Everyone present was in an uproar!
It seemed that the fourth mission was not a drill but a real combat operation!
Everyone's expression turned serious.
"Don't worry, if the Dragon Group dares to send us newcomers on a mission, they must have considered all aspects and won't put us in danger," Ouyang Feng reassured them.
This was also one of the pieces of intelligence he had obtained.
The Dragon Group had already made thorough arrangements.
As long as they completed the mission according to the normal procedures, everything would be fine.
Of course, those who courted disaster were an exception.
After all, no one could stop them if they insisted on seeking trouble!
Upon hearing Ouyang Feng's words, the group did not fully relax their worried hearts.
No matter how much preparation the Dragon Group made, it was hard to avoid occasional oversights.
They also didn't know what constituted courting disaster!
"Don't overthink it. Let's go to the factory laboratory first to scout it out. If it doesn't meet our expectations, we can check out other laboratories."
Da Xiong immediately made the decision.
Because in the previous few missions, Da Xiong's decisions had always benefited the team.
So, unconsciously, everyone had come to regard Da Xiong as the backbone of the team.
