CHAPTER 827: MELODY’S WORRIES

"So, this is the source of your plan." Jay looked around the theater.

"Yeah. Well, you will enter the movie’s world, so do your best. You will understand everything once you enter the movie, so I don’t have to explain anything to you." Clovis waved his hand.

"..." Jay didn’t understand what was going on, but he didn’t say anything else.

The moment the movie started, the scenery changed in the blink of an eye.

"Commander. Commander! We have to fight!"

Jay opened his eyes fuzzily, his head ringing. "Ugh... What’s going on? Who are you?"

"Are you still daydreaming? I’m Hans, Commander. Our line is about to be breached by those undead. We have to take them down!"

Jay didn’t understand what was going on, but Clovis told him he would enter the movie’s world.

’So, this is the movie world...’ thought Jay while rising to his feet, only to be shocked by the sight before him. Millions of zombies were marching toward his position.

Next to him were his comrades, but there were only fewer than a hundred people. At the same time, his head had been ringing the whole time because of the influx of information getting transferred into his mind.

’So, that’s how it is...’ Jay smiled wryly, realizing what kind of world this was. ’Fuck. I should have asked a few more questions before entering this movie.’

It looked like he had to fight against all this undead.

...

Clovis, on the other hand, visited Melody.

"It looks like we are in trouble." Melody frowned. "Although everything has gone according to your plan, the enemy is going to make this cave a fortress. Take a look at this, Clovis."

Melody pointed at the images. She had images of the cave from all over the Skynet. "If I were them, I would position these spots and stop you around this area. This way, you wouldn’t be able to break through my formation."

Clovis nodded in understanding. "In that case, I will tell you my goals. There are only two. First of all, we will just be getting clues about the next mission. The second goal is to rescue Stefany."

"Rescue that fucking bitch?" Melody frowned.

"Yes. Although she has betrayed us, she still has some use." Clovis nodded. "With this, she will have no choice but to obey us, and she will be a great addition to Vina."

"Do you mean..." Melody gasped.

"If you think about it, the Dark Supreme is a blessed person. On the other hand, all three successors are quite lacking, including Vina."

"So, you’re thinking that even if the successor is lacking, they need to have all three? That’s why you want Stefany to remain on Vina’s side? Whether she can control herself or not depends on her ability?"

"Yes. This way, she will possess both the intelligence network and the connection. All that is left is her strength. Even if she trains, it will still take a long time, so I will just let her solve that one herself. I’m not her father that will grant her everything, you know?"

Melody pondered. "I see. So, that’s your vision. But the goals are impossible."

"Why do you think so?"

"First of all, this will be turned into a fortress. The moment we are stopped by them, there’s no choice but to surrender. The snipers will do their best to shoot at us. Even if we can launch an attack on our own, we don’t have the height advantage."

"Well, the cave itself is like a former hill. It has a dome shape, 200 meters in diameter and 30 meters in height."

"Yes. The space is open, which is why I said it’s a fortress." She nodded. "That’s why they just have to block the entrance and let their sniper deal with us."

Clovis smiled as if he had expected this situation. "In that case, let me ask you something. If there is a distraction and a method to rescue Stefany, do you think our plan will work?"

"Huh? Do you mean a method to break through? I’m pretty sure that the R.A.I.D. will be focusing on us, especially you. There’s no way you can slip past them."

"No, I’m talking about slipping through. I’m talking about this." Clovis pointed at an opening in the ceiling. That was right. The cave had a huge opening in the ceiling, which was the source of the light in the cave.

Normally, people would just enter through the entrance, but they could climb the dome from the outside and enter it.

"That’s rather insane. Yes, it will work, but while falling down, you are defenseless, so there’s no way you can land safely. Even if you are able to do it, coming out is easier said than done."

"You can leave the rescue to me. I have a method to rescue Stefany. As for the distraction, I will only need Jay."

Melody furrowed her eyebrows. "Do you plan to do something?"

"Yes. Rather than fight them there, all I need to do is draw them outside."

"That’s absurd. While we can do that, you need to remember that this place is extremely dangerous. If we camp outside, we might end up getting killed by the Tier 8 beasts."

"No. Not that." Clovis shook his head. "They will be the ones having no choice but to chase after us, especially if we get Stefany and the clue, right? Besides, three of their Tier 7 humans won’t be able to participate at that moment."

"Because Stefany returns to us."

"Yes."

Melody contemplated. She could definitely see them rushing outside, but the plan depended on whether the rescue was a success or not.

"So, we will split our group into two... The first group will be the bait on the ground, while the other group will come from the top?"

"Isn’t that too obvious? Of course, we will storm through the front." Clovis winked playfully. "I have another card to play if I want to rescue her."

"Hmm?" Melody frowned.

Clovis raised one finger. "While the cave is safe because of the so-called magnetic force, does that mean the beasts can’t enter?"

Melody shook her head. "They will feel repulsive to enter. Even a Tier 8 beast doesn’t want to enter, but it’s not like it’s impossible for them to enter. According to the record, the Tier 8 beast still chased the humans through the passage, but it just stopped and left. It was able to enter, but it just chose not to."

"See? That’s easy then." Clovis grinned.
