Civilization Paradise

Chapter 142 Waiting for the Right Opportunity (First Update)
Shancheng Mountain, Shangcheng District.

Top floor of Skyview Tower.

Gao Feng and the others stood to the side, barely daring to breathe, their expressions tense and fearful as they looked at Qian Wei sitting on the luxurious sofa.

At this moment, the muscles on Qianwei's handsome face twitched uncontrollably.

He picked up a glass of red wine, took a deep sniff, but didn't drink it. Instead, he tilted his head back and poured it directly onto his face, muttering to himself.

"My father said that those who achieve great things must never get angry easily, and must always maintain a calm mind, endure, endure, and endure some more! But how can I endure this?"

As Qianwei finished speaking, he gently tossed the wine glass in his hand away.

bang~
The cup shattered into pieces, scattering glistening shards of glass all over the floor.

Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat.

They hadn't seen Qianwei so out of control in a long time; his eyes were even filled with murderous intent. It was clear that Qianwei was truly contemplating killing someone.

At that moment, a man wearing a gray shirt with thick eyebrows and big eyes rushed in.

"Lord Qianwei!"

Gao Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reprimanded him.

"Zhang Wang, who let you in?"

Zhang Wang was also startled by Gao Feng's words.

At this moment, Qianwei looked at Zhang Wang with a cold gaze.

"I have something important to report."

Zhang Wang noticed the atmosphere and the murderous intent on Qian Wei's face, and realized he had messed up. He stammered.

"Nonsense! Can't you see Lord Qianwei is busy? What important matter could it be? Get out of here!"

Gao Feng walked up to Zhang Wang and reprimanded him sternly.

"Yes."

Zhang Wang immediately seized the opportunity to back out.

"Tell me, what's the matter!"

At this moment, Qian Weiqiang suppressed his anger and spoke.

Upon hearing Qianwei's words, Gao Feng let out a slight breath and patted Zhang Wang on the shoulder.

"Think carefully about what you need to report next."

Upon hearing Gao Feng's words, Zhang Wang's expression grew increasingly fearful. It was clear that if his report was unimportant, he was doomed. However, given the current situation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and report.

"Lord Qianwei, the Star God Guild's mission has failed."

Upon hearing Zhang Wang's report, Qianwei suddenly raised his head and questioned him with an incredulous expression.

"What did you say? The Star God Guild failed?"

"Yes."

Zhang Wang nodded quickly.

"Could it be that Luo Xue arrived and stole their mission?"

Qianwei immediately pressed for an answer.

"no!"

"If it wasn't snowing, then how did they fail?"

"It was a group of rats under the Star Wish Guild who stole the mission from the Star God Guild."

"How is that possible? How did they do it?"

"I don't know, the live stream was interrupted."

Zhang Wang quickly explained.

Qianwei was also very incredulous when he heard this, and his anger subsided by nearly half.

Upon seeing this, Gao Feng quickly spoke up.

"Congratulations, young master! Although you didn't complete the mission this time, neither did the Star God Guild. Besides, the Star Wish Guild is, after all, an affiliated guild of the Starry Sky Guild. Their completion of the mission is not much different from ours."

Upon hearing this, Qianwei thought about it carefully. It was embarrassing for him not to complete the mission, but it was even more embarrassing for the Star God Guild to fail the mission. His mood immediately improved.

"good very good!"

Gao Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Qian Wei had calmed down.

At this moment, Qianwei turned to Gao Feng and said.

"Gao Feng, the rat gang from the Star Wish Guild did a good job. I'll reward them with something later."

"Yes."

Gao Feng responded respectfully.

Observatory Base - Underground Chamber.

Xiao Qi, Johnny, and the others all used the safe upgrade cards to store their valuables, stuffing their backpacks to the brim and carrying a stack of neatly organized documents. They emptied the entire backup central control room of all the red-grade items produced, and even picked up some better purple-grade items to take with them.

"Have you taken everything?"

Long Ming looked at Xiao Qi and the others and asked.

"All right."

Xiao Qi and the others nodded.

"Everyone, look for any hidden passages that allow us to escape from here."

Long Ming then addressed Xiao Qi and the others.

"it is good!"

Xiao Qi and the others scattered and began to explore.

Long Ming then walked to the backup control panel, trying to see if he could find an escape route.

Half a day passed and they still hadn't found anything.

At this moment, Xiaoqi said helplessly.

"Long Ming, we haven't found the hidden escape route."

"Let's go and check out the exit."

Long Ming then led them to the exit.

They pressed their ears to the surface and could hear footsteps coming from outside from time to time.

Long Ming gestured for Xiao Qi and the others to evacuate, and they carefully retreated back to the backup central control room.

"No, there are people searching for us outside. Going out now would be like giving ourselves away for nothing."

Xiaoqi said anxiously.

"It seems we can only wait now."

Long Ming nodded solemnly. If they couldn't evacuate safely, everything would be for nothing.

"Then how long do we have to wait?"

Xiao Qi and the others all looked at Long Ming.

Faced with the gazes of the crowd, Long Ming also fell into deep thought.

Time passed quickly, little by little.

Just when everyone was about to panic, Long Ming spoke up and shared his thoughts.

"We'll evacuate in the last few hours. Also, it gets light around 5 a.m. in this world, and the defensive weapons at the observatory base will be activated. Therefore, the best time to evacuate is 4 a.m. on the third day."

"Ah! Evacuating so late? It's easy to be too late, and what if the evacuation point is already taken by someone else? Then all our efforts will be wasted."

Johnny quickly reminded Long Ming.

"I know, but we need to push to the limit, otherwise the other side won't give up! Only during this time period can the other side not be able to ambush us."

Long Ming was well aware of what Johnny was saying.

"What if we lose the bet?"

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"It's okay! If we lose the bet, we can find a place to hide the stuff and come back to get it next time we come in."

Long Ming smiled and explained to Xiao Qi and the others.

Xiao Qi and the others were overjoyed when they heard Long Ming's words.

"That's right. As long as we send the goods out of the city and hide them in the mountains, they'll be easy to retrieve next time we come in."

"Then it's settled."

Long Ming addressed the crowd.

"Uh-huh."

Xiaoqi put down their backpacks and found a place to sit down and wait.

The following night.

At the bottom of the steps on the north side of the observatory base.

Luo Xue and the others gathered here, all looking up at the top.

One by one, defensive weapons such as magnetic storm towers began to lose power.

"The defensive weapons are off, we can go up now."

Fu Fubai said to Luo Xue.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue did not rush to issue an order, but instead fell into deep thought.
