Cosmos was a little overwhelmed by Anthony's words.
However, he agreed with Anthony's sentiment that it was better to prevent problems before they occur. At that time, it was best not to be overly confident.
With that thought, Cosmos stood up. “The dedicated phone for contacting that base is in another room. I need to go there!”
Anthony didn't have time to ask too many questions. He looked at Cosmos and said, “The faster, the better!”
Cosmos nodded, then immediately left.
At that moment, Anthony was staring at the computer, feeling an indescribable tension and fear deep within his heart.
Dave had mentioned the plan to Anthony, and they indeed intended to lure the enemy into the trap. However, if Anthony's memory served him right, that wasn't the address.
As he was deep in thought, the cell phone on the table suddenly began to ring.
Upon seeing Dave's name, he immediately answered, “Hello, Mr. Dave. How are you guys doing now?”
“We just received news that Boss has already left. Currently, we're still waiting!” answered Dave.
Anthony furrowed his brows. “Mr. Dave, can you tell me the location of the place you've decided to sacrifice this time?”
“Are you coming over?”
“No, I have something urgent that needs confirmation right now!” Anthony said.
Hearing the boy's serious tone, Dave didn't think twice and directly told the former the location.
Anthony typed in the location on his computer, but the landmark displayed was not where he expected it to be.
Looking at the computer, Anthony grimaced slightly. “Mr. Dave, I'm afraid things are getting out of our control now!”
“What does it mean?” inquired Dave.
“Just now, while I was attacking Vermillion Base's network, I encountered the hacker who had previously invaded your home network. Just a moment ago, he sent me a set of numbers. After a brief analysis, I confirmed that they are coordinates. Cosmos also told me these coordinates point to another location within your base!”
Upon hearing that, Dave paused for a moment. “Are you saying Boss might have gone somewhere else?”
“That's right!”
Dave fell silent for a moment. Unlike Cosmos, he didn't outright deny the possibility. If the dark web could potentially be infiltrated with a set of bugged numbers, then the exposure of their base location was also plausible.
However, he still had some reservations about what the boy said. “Anthony, give me a reason why you trust this person!”
After a moment of thought, Anthony spoke earnestly. “Mr. Dave, I can't provide you with any reason. It's just my intuition. I'm not sure whether to trust it or not, but if it were me, I would believe it!”
After about five seconds of silence, Dave said, “I understand now!”
After that, the call ended.
Anthony held his phone, a wave of inexplicable tension rising from the depths of his heart. That feeling was far more intense than when he was working in front of the computer.
He knew clearly that Dave would definitely go because they were of the same kind. Regardless of truth or falsehood, they would always minimize their losses.
With those thoughts in mind, Anthony sat there, staring sternly at the computer.
Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Dave looked at Kenneth with a serious expression.
At that moment, Kenneth came over and asked, “What's wrong?”
Dave looked up, his gaze meeting Kenneth's. “Anthony just called me.”
Kenneth's brows slightly furrowed. “And?”
“He received a message that Vermillion Base may attack us somewhere else tonight,” Dave muttered.
Kenneth looked at him, his eyes narrowing.
