At that moment, a lazy voice came through the earpieces of Demulan, Robert, and Audrey, who had already driven away. It sounded as if the owner had just woken up, and judging from his tone, he didn't seem to be too affected by what had happened.
Audrey, who was driving, froze. If Rometheus were to indiscriminately bombard the area, then her plan...
"Rometheus, what were you doing all this time? How were the enemies able to break through?"
Demulan's tone was filled with strong displeasure, knowing that Rometheus couldn't possibly be without some responsibility for the enemy's ability to breach the main gate directly.
"You really want to know? Back then, your two big tanks were blown straight into the sky. Oh my, the flames were so intense that I couldn't see anything from up there. Then your doors were violently broken down below. How can you blame me for that? If you ask me, there was absolutely no need to bring those two tanks over. They were completely blocking my view."
"Enough! Now is not the time to talk about this. There are still many living hostages inside. We can't just start indiscriminate bombing like this. Besides, one of your financial backers, Mr. Robert, is inside. Why don't you ask for his opinion?"
"Oh? Then let me ask you, Mr. Robert, are you willing to give your life for the benefit of the Hafk Group? Just give the order, and I guarantee these thugs and you will disappear instantly."
Rometheus spoke in a teasing tone to Robert, who was still inside trembling with fear.
"Rometheus, you........."
Just as Robert was about to say something, he suddenly heard footsteps beside him, which made him quickly shut his mouth and not make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of the soldiers.
At that moment, he also noticed a woman crying in the hall. After the footsteps passed by, Robert peeked out again to see what was happening outside.
Just then, Reis began ordering his men to evacuate. At that moment, Reis spotted the female reporter who had previously seduced and invited him to dinner. Seeing such a revealing and sexy Western beauty, how could Reis, who had been keeping quiet for so long due to his buttock injury, resist?
They immediately ordered someone to bring the woman along as well. When the female reporter saw several large men walking towards her with wicked smiles, fear instantly overwhelmed her. Moreover, one of the soldiers said with a smile.
"Hey, you're lucky, woman. Our boss has taken a liking to you. Let me tell you, if you serve our boss well later, you might enjoy countless riches and honors."
The female reporter looked at Reis's appearance and was so frightened that she could only cry and kick wildly, shouting "No, no!" What kind of wealth and luxury could there be in this place? Besides, seeing Reis like that, how could he be compared to Robert whom she had seen before? How could this female reporter bear it?
She was somewhat famous in her own country, and the thought of being captured and used as a plaything by their leader, a chimpanzee, filled her with despair.
"Stop making so much noise! Let me tell you, we're not asking for your opinion, we're just telling you: knock her out and take her away!"
Robert watched from the corner as the female reporter was knocked unconscious and taken away. Several other attractive female reporters also met the same fate. Who would have thought that coming to a foreign country for a press conference would mean never being able to return?
"Boss, we're ready. We can just evacuate through the side door. The women have already started to be dragged away. Our people outside said that Hafk's reinforcements will be arriving soon."
A guard came to Reis's side and said.
"It's impossible to get away unscathed. That old woman, Demulan, certainly won't let us leave so easily."
Reiss was surprisingly calm enough to take out a cigarette, light it, take a deep drag, and analyze the situation.
"Then... what should we do?"
The guard panicked upon hearing this. From rushing in to grabbing the bricks, every step had been perfect. But if Boss Reis couldn't be that simple, then it definitely couldn't be that simple.
"Have a few reporters from here drive away, about four cars."
Reis suddenly gave an order that caught all the soldiers off guard, leaving them stunned for a moment.
"Boss... what's this?"
Without saying much, Reis turned and went back into the group of people, revealing an innocent smile before saying:
"Friends, I'm a good person too. I also bear some responsibility for this situation. How about this, I'll give you four cars out of my own pocket? Just tell me who you want, and I'll let you drive away right away. Don't worry, it's nothing special, just my way of apologizing to you all."
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in uproar.
(Brothers, this is my first time clearing a map in a single triple spacecraft. It's worth it! I can only say that Liu Tao is expensive for a reason! One more thing, this time I used the M250 to fight someone else (●ˇ?ˇ●))
Chapter 121 Frozen Hands (3)
The scene quickly descended into chaos, with some people even fighting over an evacuation slot.
But what Reese didn't know was that Robert had seen everything from the place they had overlooked.
"Demulan, that leader just said... and you guys need to hurry up, I'm not safe here either!"
Robert quickly explained the situation to Demulan and urged him on, saying, "That damned Audrey ran away so fast, but I'm left here. I'm a high-ranking executive of the Hafk Group!"
"Boss! There's still one person here!"
Suddenly, a soldier's shout came from in front of Robert. The shout almost scared Robert to death, but seeing that he had been discovered by Reis's men, Robert had no choice but to shout into the headset.
"Demulan! Bring your men in now! They've spotted me, and I... I'm ordering you!"
But there was no reply from Demulan on the other end of the headset. Robert turned around and looked at the two Asara soldiers who were gradually approaching him. He could only lean against the wall behind him and shout, "Don't come any closer! You two stand there!"
Just as Robert was about to be caught, another violent explosion suddenly came from the doorway.
At that moment, a shell was fired from the smoke, instantly knocking down several soldiers guarding the door.
"The enemy is out of balance, blow them down!"
Reis picked up the shotgun and looked at the smoke in front of him. Suddenly, with a whooshing sound, the Chinese soldier who had been "put to sleep" with a single punch last time reappeared in front of him.
Behind Wei Long was Red Wolf, who had activated his exoskeleton and slid in.
Before the soldiers from Asara could react, the two men began firing their guns, and several Reis soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.
Then Reese watched as the GTI operators he had previously fought appeared one by one in the radar station, especially the one with the shield, whose eyes were now fixed on him.
"Don't panic, everyone. We are from the Global Emergency Response Team. We will ensure your safety. Please do not wander around and stay where you are and wait for rescue!"
Wei Long shouted at the chaotic crowd, saying that stampedes are most likely to occur in situations like this, and there is absolutely no need for such innocent casualties.
"Reis! Where did you put the Mandel brick? Take it out now, and I'll let you leave."
Deep Blue stared intently at Reis, who was not far away, with his sharp eyes, and said loudly.
"Hey, fuck you! Do you think I need you to let me go? We're all robbers, so don't act like you're so innocent. You just want Mandel bricks, right? I won't give them to you, brothers, let's fight these bastards!"
Reis said they were evenly matched, and neither side should say anything to the other. It was a matter of who could grab it first. While he was calling on his underlings to launch an attack on Deep Blue and his group, he took advantage of the chaos and slipped away through the back door.
When the two Asara soldiers in front of Robert saw their own men fighting with the GTI members, they ignored Robert, who was still yelling, and turned to join the battle.
Robert quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted into it:
"What the hell are you doing, De Moulin?! I almost died!"
"You can still talk, what's the rush?"
Rometheus's words nearly made Robert vomit blood with rage. "You're perfectly safe up there, while I'm here in constant danger!" he thought. Ignoring the bastard Rometheus, he continued calling out to Desmulan:
"The GTI guys just stormed in, and now they're fighting Asara's group. Why don't you do something about it!"
After learning about the situation inside, Demulan suddenly thought of a way to trap them like turtles in a jar.
"Don't rush, Robert. I think you should be safe as long as you don't show yourself. Just stay hidden for now, and we can wipe them out in one fell swoop after they've finished fighting."
Robert was furious. What were they doing? These two security guards were just leaving him, a high-ranking executive of the Hafk Group, to live in fear and anxiety.
"You just wait, once this is over, I'll cut off your funding!"
Robert thought bitterly to himself.
"Deep Blue, that guy Reis is running away!"
After dealing with the two Asara soldiers beside her, the sharp-eyed Mai Xiaowen turned her head and spotted Reis trying to escape through the back door.
"Quick! Stop him!"
Uluru immediately pulled out a Molotov cocktail from his waist and threw it behind him, intending to block the way before Reis could retreat. However, Reis's next move completely shocked him.
When Reese saw something flying towards him, he didn't see what it was, but his intuition told him that it was definitely something that was going to harm him. So he picked up his shotgun upside down and swung it at the incoming incendiary bomb as if he were holding a baseball bat.
When Reese finally saw what was in front of him, he was startled. Damn, it was an incendiary bomb! But his hand couldn't stop now, so he hit a powerful home run, sending the incendiary bomb back to the battlefield.
"You damn fatso, I'll remember you. You better not get caught by me, or I'll torture you to death!"
After making those threats at Uluru, Reis ran off without looking back. He was joking, of course; he'd already achieved his mission objective, and bringing him back would be worth a hundred million Haver coins.
"Your leader has retreated, you should surrender now!"
After Deep Blue bumped into an Asara soldier, he shouted that Reis had escaped. In an instant, the Asara soldiers, who had been united against the GTI team, seemed to have lost their leader. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Run!"
The Asara soldiers pulled out smoke grenades and threw them on the ground, preparing to evacuate.
The entire venue was immediately enveloped in smoke once again.
"Uncle Deep Blue, Demulan is preparing to move out, and we need to start our evacuation as well."
Zhang Hao, who had been unable to see the situation inside from the outside, saw Demulan appear at the main gate of the radar station and quickly spoke into it, taking out his burning arrows. He had to help Deep Blue and the others buy some time, no matter what.
"Uncle Said, we'll set fire to the gate to block it and buy Uncle Shenlan and the others time to escape."
So when Demran was about to lead the Hafk soldiers to the factory to harvest, two burning arrows blocked her way.
Demuren looked back and saw two familiar figures on a distant hillside.
Before I could see clearly: Damn it, that bastard set fire to my way and blocked my path, I'm going to shoot him.
After recognizing Zhang Hao: Oh dear, Xiao Hao is so worried about me. He's afraid I'll get hurt if I go in. I have to hurry and bring him here.
Chapter 122 Evacuation
However, from Said's perspective, Demulan's eyes undisguisedly flashed with intense killing intent. Before Zhang Hao could react, Said used the same trick again, hoisting Zhang Hao onto his shoulder and running away, completely unaware of the change in Demulan's eyes upon seeing Zhang Hao.
Of course, if it were Abel instead of Xiao Hao, Said might have just jumped down and started fighting with that old woman, Demulan. But Said couldn't guarantee Zhang Hao's safety, so the underlying logic in Said's mind became like this.
Said: If you encounter Reis or Demulan or others, take Xiao Hao and start running away until you reach a completely safe place.
Meanwhile, Deep Blue, inside the radar station, also received Zhang Hao's message. After looking around at the Asara soldiers who had mostly fled, he quickly called for everyone to begin their retreat as well. Their operation had failed, so their primary objective now was to prevent any further casualties.
"Deep Blue... Uncle, Uncle Said and I are leaving now... Please come quickly!"
Due to the long distance, Zhang Hao's communication became intermittent, and Shen Lan led everyone to retreat towards the back door.
"Deep Blue, are we still going to the King's Hotel to find that Reis?"
Red Wolf walked beside Deep Blue and asked, "Although we had anticipated the failure of this operation, now that we know that the Mandel Brick was stolen by that guy Reis, we can go back to his lair and cause a ruckus. Maybe we can get it back."
"Let's go back to the Special Operations Division first. If this matter isn't resolved, our GTI will be questioned by Hafk's higher-ups. Let's report it to them first. As for the Mandel brick, we'll talk about it later."
After exiting through the back door, Deep Blue glanced at Roy, who immediately understood and released a drone to spray a smoke screen. Taking advantage of the chaos, the group quickly escaped the battlefield.
But everything they were doing was being seen clearly by Rometheus, who was flying in the sky.
"Huh? Why are they releasing smoke? I wonder if Zero is even among them. Ugh, this is so annoying. One missile would have been enough to take care of these rats. Looks like I'll have to let them go again."
Rometheus leisurely took a sip of water. In his eyes, so what if the Mandel Brick was stolen? Even if they took it, it would be useless without a decryption device that didn't contain the Mandel Brick. It was just like they had gone to great lengths to steal a nice-looking model.
Rometheus chuckled. Mandel bricks that could help a nation grow strong quickly? Perhaps they were indeed powerful, but compared to the things he himself had created to benefit (control) all the people, they were still insignificant.
Mandel Brick: Bullshit! I haven't seen anyone go to such lengths to steal your prized Relink prototype brain-computer interface. Look at me, I'm being treated like a treasure by multiple forces. (●ˇ?ˇ●)
"Doctor, a large number of enemy units have been detected on the ground. Should we eliminate them?"
Black Hawk looked at the scattered red dots marked on the aircraft's radar and asked Rometheus.
"It's not our problem, Demulan can handle it. The trouble with those countries coming after our Hafk Group is a real headache. But that's not my responsibility to deal with. Let the higher-ups think of a solution!"
Seeing that the flames at the entrance were getting smaller, Demulan led the remaining security personnel straight inside.
Upon entering, they found numerous corpses lying haphazardly in the radar station's main hall, including those of Asara's soldiers and Hafk's men. The remaining reporters and photographers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the security director of the Demulan space base arrive with his soldiers.
"Demulan, I'm here! Quickly, have someone take me back!"
At that moment, Robert's voice came from a corner of the hall. He walked out of the corner shakily, looking disoriented, but still arrogantly ordered Demulan to send someone back immediately.
"Mr. Robert, please wait a moment. I don't have enough people to take you back right now. Saving lives is the priority."
Demulan quickly counted the remaining people present. There weren't many left. Several people had been shot dead by Reis's men when they tried to leave through the side door in the first wave. Some attractive female reporters had also been kidnapped by Reis's soldiers, and their fate was unknown.
"Calm down a bit. The enemy has all retreated. Our ambulances from Hafk will be here soon. You are safe now."
Desmoulin walked up to a photographer and asked:
"Hello, I'd like to ask if the live streaming equipment you have is broken? Or is there any possibility that it can be repaired?"
The person in charge of the live stream said tremblingly:
"The device was probably cut off during the first explosion, but it was completely broken when the tall, dark-skinned man came in. I took a look after it later."
Demulan nodded after hearing this and looked at the broken Sony camera.
"Can you hand over the memory card inside? I will use this evidence to seek justice for you, and these parasites of Asara will surely be brought to justice."
Upon hearing this, the person quickly removed the memory card from the device and handed it to Demulan.
After receiving the package, Demulan said thank you and stood up. Mary told him through the earpiece that all the ambulances Hafk had sent were already outside.
"Our ambulance has arrived. We will take you all back to receive the best treatment from our Hafk Group. Since this was our negligence, we will cover all the costs and provide subsequent compensation. Please come with us to get treatment. As for those of you who were kidnapped, I will definitely rescue you. I promise you that."
