Lin Yuan had never imagined that the one at the top of the Hunt List, the person the Crawlers hated even more bitterly than Wang Jian and the other triple-S-rank experts, would actually be Old Three.
The Hunt List offered no introduction for Research Institute 3154, only a single note:
"Number one on the Hunt List. Must be killed. Anyone who encounters this person must attempt a kill, without fear of death or failure."
That simple sentence told Lin Yuan just how much the Crawlers hated Research Institute 3154... and feared him.
What exactly is going on with Old Three? How did he end up at the top of the Hunt List?
Lin Yuan's eyes widened. He could not make sense of it.
But Old Three did seem to mention before that, when Elder Zhao defected, he organized a group of Diving Club members to attack facilities throughout the institute, all to find him.
Ever since then, he's been difficult to contact.
What exactly is happening on Old Three's end?
Thoughts churned in Lin Yuan's mind.
Apart from his own group members, Research Institute 3154 was the person Lin Yuan had known the longest and spoken with the most since entering the game.
Lin Yuan was a little worried that something might have happened to him too.
Still, Research Institute 3154 had Elder Ma as his mentor and had been staying in the institute's secret laboratory, so there probably was not much to worry about.
Lin Yuan let out a light breath, set his worries aside for the moment, and looked up at Wang Jian.
"I've finished reading the list. Thanks for letting me know."
Wang Jian nodded.
"No need to thank me. It's part of my job."
"Everyone on the list is informed about it before entering the battlefield.
