Originally, because the Castel Bridge was completely blocked, it would have taken them at least several days to get to Linjiangtai.
But one of the three "liaison officers" possessed the ability to freeze the water.
So the group of people actually drove all the way through the seven-kilometer stretch of sea without any apparent qualms.
Of course, the other party did not exaggerate to the point of freezing the entire sea surface.
It only freezes an area of a few dozen square meters large enough to stand on. As the team moves forward, the water in front will continue to freeze, while the water behind will gradually melt, thus forming a movable platform.
Even so, the scene was still quite shocking.
Michelle was not unfamiliar with [data systems] and skills. Some members of his team possessed skills that could increase the power of bullets, and he himself had skills that could make shooting more accurate.
However, the other party's skills were far beyond his comprehension; it would be more appropriate to call them "abilities" rather than "skills."
Moreover, the tall, muscular man's physical abilities were also ridiculously high.
If Michelle's current attributes are all at 10 points, and her physical fitness has reached the limit that humans can possess, then the strength of that burly man has definitely surpassed the realm of humans.
He had personally witnessed how the other side dragged a military Humvee from the sea to the shore.
In conclusion, Michelle increasingly felt that something was wrong.
This is not a rescue mission centered around a "VIP" at all.
Ordinary rescue missions do not require the client to provide ammunition and weapons.
Furthermore, all of these weapons are imported models from Elsas, and even the ammunition used is specialized pointed bullets.
Moreover, those three "liaison officers" now seem to have had a deeper purpose.
Michelle was well aware of the capabilities of her team.
These battle-hardened individuals, with their superior equipment, are already developing at a pace that surpasses that of most people in this post-apocalyptic world.
However, in terms of combat power, these three are far superior to them by more than one level.
This can only mean that the sponsor this time is definitely a powerful group, which used its resources to create three exceptional "supermen" from among the outstanding "transcendent individuals" to temporarily handle this mission.
These three are probably all the fighting force they can muster in the short term.
Even so, the power behind these three is still considerable.
So what exactly is it that makes such a powerful force operate in such a secretive manner in the apocalypse?
Is it simply because the target is the eldest daughter of the Security Bureau Chief?
The first one that can be ruled out is the Allied government. Compared to the need to reorganize its forces and address the vast number of livelihood issues, they simply don't have the resources to care about the life or death of a mere security chief's daughter.
Michelle's years of experience in PMC gave her exceptionally keen intuition.
Even he felt a vague unease at that moment.
It was less of a rescue operation and more of a meticulously planned black operation.
Chapter 222: I, Kira Sukeno, a citizen of Miyoshi (2.6k)
"Please!"
“Please let me go!”
The woman knelt on the ground, pleading as if weeping.
Upon seeing this, Kira Sukeno's wicked smile froze on his face. After a couple of seconds, he put on an exaggerated expression of disbelief, placed his hand on the young man in a suit next to him, bent down, pointed at the woman kneeling on the ground, and asked:
"Huh? She's begging me!"
"Did you see that? She actually begged me!"
"a ha ha ha!"
The man in the suit was clearly not good at handling such situations; he simply nodded awkwardly and remained silent.
Kira Sukeno seemed to be used to this. He straightened up on his own, abruptly stopped his exaggerated expression, turned around and slowly stepped into the pool of blood on the ground, then squatted down in front of the trembling woman.
"Instead of begging me so humbly, you should think carefully about why it's you who's begging for mercy right now, and not me..."
As he spoke, Kira Sukeno carelessly pressed his clean right hand to the ground, brought it to his nose with the blood on it, and then showed a very enjoyable expression.
However, this "refined interest" seemed to be disturbed by the crying.
Seeing the crying child in the woman's arms, Kira Sukeno immediately put on a very sunny and friendly expression and reached out his blood-stained hand to the child's face.
The child's mother trembled at the sight and instinctively tried to dodge, but due to excessive fright, she was unable to move her body. So she had no choice but to close her eyes and pray aloud as if resigned to her fate.
"Anyone will do... please, please come and save me..."
Kira Sukeno did not do anything dangerous. He simply gently smeared the child's cheeks with the father's blood, and only showed a slightly satisfied expression after completely covering the child's tear stains.
But the woman's plea for help made him frown.
Who are you praying to?
"An allied government?"
"Still those ambitious conglomerates and warlords?"
"Please save me..." The woman was completely terrified, and could only unconsciously murmur the same sentence. She couldn't even be sure if she was still alive.
This reaction precisely aroused Kira Sukeno's desire to express himself.
He adjusted his squatting position slightly, shook the blood off his hands, and suddenly said in a casual tone:
"You don't actually think those guys are going to come and rescue you, do you...?"
"It was they who together built that society that once divided people into different classes."
"What a terrible world this is..."
As he spoke, Kira Sukeno's eyes widened, and his expression turned strange.
"Those at the highest level are able to fully enjoy both material and spiritual sustenance."
"Then, as the levels decrease, the supply begins to decrease."
"People at the lowest level usually receive only enough material energy to barely sustain their lives, while their spiritual support is almost nonexistent."
“I was once a member of that class…”
Do you think I got to where I am today because those self-proclaimed righteous guys lent me a helping hand?
"No no no no no no!"
Kira Sukeno became agitated.
"I struggled and rose from the ashes all by myself!"
"You should now be able to feel the pain acutely that there is only one reason why your fate is so tragic."
"That means having no rights and power."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have needed to beg me for mercy in such a humble manner."
"Your husband won't be killed like an insect just for trying to steal a day's worth of food."
"Phew..." After a pause, Kira Sukeno let out a long sigh of relief, his emotions calming down a bit.
"It was only after understanding this that I suddenly realized the meaning of life..."
"I will pursue power and power relentlessly, by any means necessary..."
"Then use them..."
"To take revenge on all the oppression and suffering this world has brought me!"
Just then, the woman curled up on the ground finally spoke, her voice trembling.
"I don't want any rights or anything... Please, just let me go..."
"You don't understand at all!!" Kira Sukeno interrupted the other person angrily, seemingly because his brilliant expression had failed to evoke empathy from them.
The woman's voice stopped abruptly, her face turned pale, and she dared not make a sound anymore, even covering the child's mouth with her hand.
Kira Sukeno realized he had frightened the other person, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his still angry face.
The change before and after gives people a strong sense of discontinuity.
After a moment, he gently raised a finger, his voice soft.
Do you know what rights are?
"It's not a position that can be promoted or demoted just by a piece of paper."
"It's not some kind of pleasurable behavior that allows you to realize your life's value."
"Its essence is to see the extent to which you influence and control the spiritual life of others, and even the entire society."
"It's because of this that I can control you so recklessly..."
Seemingly realizing that no matter how much she begged for mercy, the other party would not let her go, the woman finally despaired, stopped crying, and tried to make one last request.
"Please... at least spare my child..."
Upon hearing this, Kira Sukeno froze, his face filled with astonishment.
It took him a long time to come to his senses. He grabbed the woman's hand, his eyes filled with longing and pity.
"You mean..."
"Are you willing to let me kill you?"
Unable to free her hand, the woman glanced desperately at the dilapidated surroundings, then at the child in her arms, and finally nodded in despair.
"Ah... Ah~~ Ah!!!" Kira Sukeno trembled with excitement, and the word "Ah" rose three different pitches in succession.
"So beautiful!!"
He sighed, then hugged himself tightly, his whole body trembling unnaturally, before tears streamed down his face.
"So touching!"
What a magnificent mother's love!
Kira Sukeno suddenly stood up from the ground, clutching his chest with one hand, spreading his other hand forward, and slightly raising his chin.
Like an orator standing in the center of a stage, he began to sing loudly and passionately.
"Such sincere and selfless feelings, resilient yet tender!"
"Noble and uniquely loving!"
"Like the brilliant sunlight, it shines brightly here!"
"You have earned my approval!"
"I, Kira Sukeno, swear here that I will fulfill your wish. As long as you are willing to die, I will absolutely not kill your child!"
What do you think?
As he spoke, he looked down at the figure at his feet once more.
The woman trembled, took one last look at the child in her arms, forced a tenderness onto her pale face, stroked the child's hair, and then, with her last bit of courage, nodded.
Seeing this, Kira Sukeno was bathed in unparalleled pleasure, his breath trembling. He couldn't wait to rip open the suit jacket of the man beside him and take out a revolver and a gun from the lining.
With trembling hands, he inserted a few bullets into the magazine, while the rest fell to the ground.
Suddenly, he pointed the gun at the woman and shouted in a high-pitched voice.
Your beliefs will surely be answered!
"bump!"
Gunshots rang out, and the woman, her eyes unfocused, collapsed to the ground.
Only innocent children were left crying out.
However, the next second, her mother suddenly poked her head out from behind, her cloudy eyes dull and lifeless.
Then it bit the child's neck.
Amidst the gushing blood, the only sound in the entire camp was the chilling sound of chewing.
Kira Sukeno also regained his composure and shrugged at the gruesome scene.
"I did not break my promise; you chose your own tragic fate."
As he spoke, he raised the gun again and fired another shot at the woman's forehead, then frowned.
