When Jim saw Sarah and Emily dressed as Missionaries of The Cult of the Celestial Worm, he couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh behind his mask. His laughter seemed particularly out of place in the morning air, drawing attention from those around him. Sarah turned her head, her eyes serious behind her mask, giving Jim a silent warning that this was not the time for jokes. However, Jim only stifled his laughter, maintaining his relaxed demeanor as if the dangerous journey they were about to embark on was just another adventure.
At that moment, a black sedan slowly pulled into the Valkyrie mercenary group's base and stopped in front of everyone. The arrival of the car marked the official start of their mission. Alex stood by the car, calmly observing his team, then nodded to signal that it was time to get in. His actions required no explanation, but everyone understood what it meant.
The team members successively stepped into the black sedan, their movements swift and orderly. Each person silently took their seat, adjusting their appearance to ensure they wouldn't attract any unnecessary attention. Though the atmosphere inside the car was heavy, determination and courage shone in everyone's eyes. Even at this crucial moment, they still trusted each other and were prepared to face the challenges that awaited them together.
As the car door closed, the black sedan slowly drove out of the base, disappearing into the morning mist, heading towards their first destination - the warship "Train of Harmony" belonging to "The Cult of the Celestial Worm." This mission was not only a personal test for them, but also a significant examination of the teamwork and strategic execution capabilities of the entire Valkyrie mercenary group.
Leo sat in the back seat of the sedan, trying to peer through the processed glass partition to catch a glimpse of the driver, but could only see a blurry figure, unable to discern the driver's expression or any details. The privacy-protecting glass seemed deliberately designed to protect the driver's privacy and create a sense of mystery and isolation for passengers like Leo. Helplessly, he could only turn his gaze to the window and observe the ever-changing scenery outside.
As the sedan gradually approached the interstellar port, the surrounding traffic became increasingly busy, with the streets crowded with vehicles and pedestrians coming and going. As an important transportation hub of the city, the interstellar port attracted travelers and merchants of various purposes, from traders to adventurers, from extraterrestrial tourists to local residents, all converging here, forming a bustling melting pot. The scenery outside the car made Leo feel the unique vitality and diversity of the interstellar city, and every pause at a red light gave him the opportunity to observe the prosperity and complexity of this world in more detail.
The scenery outside the car window quickly flashed by, from the bustling commercial district to the high-speed thoroughfare, each place filled with the characteristics of the future city—tall skyscrapers, flashing neon billboards, and flying vehicles in the sky, creating a scene full of science fiction colors. Leo found that even on the way to carry out a dangerous mission, the curiosity and desire to explore the unknown world could not be suppressed.
The vehicle passed through the busy and strict interstellar port security system, with numerous checks and scans carried out to ensure that every person and item entering and leaving the port would not pose a threat to port security. When they finally passed all the checks, the scene outside the car window made everyone involuntarily turn to look—a tremendously huge ship was docked at the port, with the unmistakable emblem of The Cult of the Celestial Worm on the bow: a tightly coiled image of a worm, undoubtedly their destination—Train of Harmony.
Jim couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration as he stared intently at the ship. Although it wasn't a warship, its massive size left a deep impression, as if it could accommodate the population of a small city. The ship's exterior was specially designed to align with the religious imagery of The Cult of the Celestial Worm, and every detail exuded the mystery and authority of this religious group.
As the car slowly approached the dock, the full view of the giant vessel gradually unfolded before everyone's eyes. Its hull presented a deep black color, occasionally shimmering with a cold metallic luster, like the most dazzling celestial body in the night sky. The decorations and symbols on the ship sparkled in the sunlight, showcasing The Cult of the Celestial Worm's pride and dignity in their faith.
Every person in the team couldn't help but be amazed, even the experienced mercenaries couldn't help but feel impressed by the grandeur of the ship.
When the vehicle stopped next to the giant ship, Leo and the other team members got out of the car and were immediately drawn to the bustling scene on the dock. It was a place full of vitality and orderly chaos, with a large number of workers and robotic arms busy moving all kinds of supplies, from food to military equipment, everything was being carried out in an orderly manner. The sound of the machinery transporting the supplies intertwined with the shouts of the people, creating the unique hustle and bustle of the interstellar port.
On the other end of the ship, a group of missionaries wearing distinctive robes of the Cult of the Celestial Worm were quietly gathering, their figures appearing particularly mysterious in the sunlight. These missionaries were either quietly conversing or silently praying, preparing for the upcoming journey. Their presence added a touch of solemnity and grandeur to the entire pier, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Alex quietly pointed to the location where the missionaries were, signaling to Leo and the other team members that this was where they would board the ship. They needed to blend in with these missionaries, disguising themselves as members of the Cult of the Celestial Worm, in order to seamlessly infiltrate the Train of Harmony. This was not only a test of their disguise abilities, but also a challenge to their psychological endurance, as they were about to enter a completely different world, one filled with unknowns and potential dangers.
The team members adjusted their robes and hats, ensuring that their disguises were not compromised, and then silently followed Alex to the gathering place of the Missionary. Every step was taken with extra caution, fearing that a careless move would expose their true identities. It was a cautious and yet hopeful stride, leading them into an unknown journey.
