Chapter 1119: You Catch the Target, I Catch You

As Luke pressed forward and darted the soldiers, he didn’t forget to grab one or two smoke grenades off the criminals. He removed the safety pins and threw them out.

The panic-stricken combat soldiers began to retreat, only to find themselves surrounded by smoke.

Although they had gas masks on to avoid tears blurring their vision, their line of sight was still severely affected.

“Retreat, and stay alert!” The bald commander sitting in the helicopter reacted quickly.

But even as he gave the order, Luke had already taken down four or five soldiers.

The remaining twenty men followed orders and retreated. When they exited the area that was completely covered in smoke, smoke grenades flew out at the squad like precision missiles to envelop them again.

Amidst the smoke, the commander heard the sound of tranquilizer darts, but couldn’t hear his men anymore.

Looking at the smoke, the bald commander in the helicopter gritted his teeth and ordered, “Go, to the pier in the north.”

The pilot hesitated. “The people down there…”

The bald commander said, “They were probably hit with the darts. The a.s.sailant doesn’t want to kill them. We’ll come back later to get them. Let’s go to the pier first and see if B Team can capture the two targets.”

The pilot had only asked the question reflexively. He didn’t dare disobey the order, and immediately turned the helicopter north.

Luke’s ears twitched. Thanks to his Elementary Sound Wave and sharp hearing, he roughly heard the conversation between the bald commander and the pilot.

Watching the two helicopters leave quickly, Luke smiled mockingly as he swiftly collected the combat soldiers’ equipment.

Without his inventory, he could only use whatever he could get his hands on.

…

Carol and Lorna ran like animals who were being hunted. Tense, they fled to the pier, but had no idea that a second trap was waiting for them.

Just as they were feeling excited and relaxed when they saw the pier 100 meters away, the trap activated.

At that moment, they had just entered an empty clearing near the pier, when more than ten people suddenly stood up.

They instantly tore off the camouflage on their heads and straightened up, like groundhogs popping out of hiding, and tranquilizer darts flew from all directions.

Carol, who was running in the front, reacted quickly. Pus.h.i.+ng off of her feet, she managed to dodge the attack from the front, but three darts still hit her in the back.

In just two seconds, she felt her body go numb and her vision go blurry.

Lorna, who was a little behind, was completely unprepared. She was about to jump, but was. .h.i.t by five darts, and collapsed.

“Cease fire!” someone shouted. “Medic, go and give target 1 first aid. She has too much of the drug in her system, which will affect experiments later.”

Carol struggled to raise her head.

Her Elementary Self-Healing was resistant to sedatives, but after three consecutive shots, she had lost most of her strength.

It would take a few minutes for her body to neutralize the sedative, but these people wouldn’t give her the chance.

The other side had a fair amount of information on the two women. Two of them went up to stop her struggling, and put a restraining device on her which bound her hands and feet.

Although she had more strength than an ordinary person, it was useless in the face of such a professional device for restraining physical strength.

“Sir, B Team has successfully caught targets 1 and 2.” The person who had shouted earlier contacted the bald commander.

Carol was devastated.

By the time the dozens of soldiers arrived, they would have no hope of escaping.

What should I do? What should I do?

Her mind was in a mess as she searched for a way to escape.

Wait, Luke! Luke hasn’t come; he’ll definitely save us.

Then, she had another thought: Luke hadn’t shown up, but the people from Sentinel Services were here. Was it him? Could it be that he…

No, he wouldn’t. He wouldn’t sell me out!

Irrational or not, Carol didn’t believe Luke would sell her out.

But the appearance of Sentinel Services tonight was really too coincidental.

It was around 7:50pm, which was close to eight o’clock.

Sentinel Services had surrounded and ambushed them. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, and had just been waiting for the women to fall into their trap.

Under the influence of the sedative and filled with all sorts of doubts, Carol’s thoughts ran wild in this desperate situation.

Two minutes later, two helicopters landed not far away.

The bald commander got off and quickly checked the two women. After confirming that they were the targets of this operation, he waved his hand. “Put them in the chopper. I’ll take them right away.”

As he spoke, he walked to the helicopter. “They have accomplices in the rear. We don’t know how many, but they’re combat experts. You have to be careful…”

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

There was the faint sound of rus.h.i.+ng wind, and the bald commander suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked over and saw a few familiar round objects flying into the open area that was lit up.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was the same familiar pattern and smell.

The bald commander was wearing protective goggles, and while he wasn’t blinded, he still couldn’t help but feel like crying.

F*ck! You’re still here?

Half of the flash and smoke grenades were set off and enveloped the dozen or so combat soldiers.

It was over! The bald commander was full of even more despair than Carol.

There had been over thirty people on the other side earlier, and in less than ten seconds, there had no longer been any movement from them.

There were only a dozen people here. What hope was there?!

Even more unluckily, he had tried to save time by getting the helicopters to land and immediately take the targets away.

Who would have thought that the other party would be as fast as the helicopter. They followed behind and attacked.

Luke was very considerate. After taking care of the dozen or so team members, he darted the commander as well.

Eyes bloodshot, the bald commander slowly collapsed.

Luke walked out of the smoke and picked up the bald commander. After examining him for a moment, he threw him into the helicopter.

He then walked over to Carol and examined the restraints on her for a moment, before he picked her up and carried her back to Lorna, who had collapsed on the ground.

There was too much of the drug in Lorna’s system; she wasn’t in any danger, but she was still unconscious.

Luke connected his fake phone to the special restraining device and then dragged the bald commander’s hand over for his fingerprint.

Two green indicators on the restraining device lit up. With a light crack, Carol’s limbs were released.

Luke tore the device off Carol and threw it out of the helicopter, before he took off the gear he and the bald commander were wearing, and threw them out as well.

Then, he took photos of the faces of the ten or so combat soldiers on the scene. He then walked over to the pilot’s seat and threw out the unconscious pilot. He started the helicopter and quickly took off.

He left behind in the clearing next to the pier the soldiers, who lay in a haphazard heap. It looked like the scene of a ma.s.sacre.
