Chapter 89: Chapter 85: Awakening and Execution
"Die!"
Sun Zhoushan shouted angrily, advancing with a swift arrow step, wielding the sharp blade in his hand, intending to directly kill him.
Since bullets would be directly absorbed and blocked by that bizarre white paper, close combat with sharp blades to avoid and sever the opponent’s body was the way!
For such heinous criminals, Sun Zhoushan had not a shred of mercy.
The law was just a procedure needed before normal sanctions; the current situation was no longer applicable.
Squeak—
Another whistle blew, this time making He Zhan’s eyes even more bloodshot and causing slight tremors among the rat swarm.
In fact, a few rats near the imposter reluctantly moved forward, biting Sun Zhoushan, quickly forming a wall of rats in front of the imposter.
Obscured by the rat wall, the imposter turned to flee.
But unexpectedly, a pair of hands suddenly extended from the shadow beneath his feet, grabbing his ankles to hold him in place.
Just as the imposter was about to struggle free, a strong current surged through his body, causing him to convulse all over and collapse on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Sun Zhoushan couldn’t help but show an expression of delight, raising his hand to slice through the rat wall in front of him, saying, "Ghost, have the people been evacuated over there?"
As his words fell, the pair of hands grasping the imposter pushed against the ground, lifting the whole person out, revealing the pitch-black uniform and the tightly wrapped figure wearing a mask.
He was a member of the team, codenamed Ghost!
On the way over, he received orders to evacuate the surrounding people and, having just completed the task, encountered the collapse of the building.
After calming the people, he rushed hurriedly towards the ruins, coincidentally witnessing the imposter summoning the rat wall to block Sun Zhoushan’s attempt to escape.
Removing the electric shock gloves from his hands, Ghost replied succinctly, "Yes, then what?"
Sun Zhoushan took out his communicator from his pocket and threw it to him, continuing to pounce towards the rat tide, shouting loudly, "Notify all team members to search for nearby individuals in official uniforms we don’t recognize, and kill them directly!"
"Everyone carries dangerous supernatural objects! Be careful!"
He himself was unable to search for the five fleeing imposters in time.
Though the whistle blower had been stunned, the rats he summoned were still present!
Even in the absence of clear orders, allowing thousands of rats to run rampant posed a huge threat, so Sun Zhoushan couldn’t leave this wasteland.
Currently only his Awakened Ability could effectively clear out the rat tide in large areas.
If they didn’t hurry, He Zhan wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer!
Watching as his captain ran back to deal with the rat tide crisis, Ghost skillfully took out handcuffs from his tactical belt, cuffing the stunned imposter by the roadside and searching all items off him, putting them in a pocket and hiding it far away to prevent him getting anything supernatural to resist again upon waking.
Picking up the communicator, Ghost repeated what Sun Zhoushan just said, finally adding: "Mention to Team Two when you encounter them as well."
After all, in the hurry, both small teams were using exclusive intra-team channels, so only Team One knew this message currently.
After speaking, Ghost prepared to search for the imposters.
But in the next second, a puzzled voice echoed from the communicator from one of the team members: "Ghost, are you sure the people you and the captain mentioned are imposters dressed in official uniforms?"
"Yes."
"I encountered one, but the other side is already..." The voice on the other end hesitated, unsure how to describe what they witnessed.
"Already what?" Ghost halted and asked, as this concerned the safety of all Chengyang City residents.
These imposters were true maniacs!
"I find it hard to describe, they seem to be twitching on the ground while foaming at the mouth, nearly done for, should they be given first aid or just a final blow?"
This situation left the team member quite helpless.
Initially expecting a big battle, finding the imposter on the brink of death was unexpected.
Upon closer examination, the imposter’s limbs had been broken, babbling incoherently while foaming at the mouth; no one knew who did this.
"Restrict their movements and administer aid, we’ll see if they’re worth interrogating after taking them back," came another cold female voice from the communicator.
"Understood, deputy team leader."
The ordered team member went over to try and save the soon-to-expire imposter but noticed another strange issue during the rescue process.
Wait! Weren’t imposters said to carry hazardous supernatural objects?
Why couldn’t anything besides clothing be found on this guy?
Perhaps they rushed out too quickly and left them at home?
That’s problematic... Capturing them was one thing, but had the supernatural objects been contained?
Them falling into the public’s hands was unimaginable!
"Ah! Spare me! I beg you..."
"Flame! Did something happen over there?"
Suddenly a series of eerie screams echoed through the communicator, startling him into picking it up quickly to inquire if a colleague was in trouble.
The encountered imposter here was on the verge of death, others might face different threats! If something slipped between the cracks, it would be bad!
But the screams sounded somewhat unfamiliar?
A few seconds later, the communicator conveyed Flames’ voice tremblingly: "I... I’m fine, I’m currently hiding behind the door of an internet cafe."
"Then what was with the screams just now?" others quickly asked.
Flame, trembling with fear, said, "The screams were made by the imposter; he is still fighting with someone."
Those words surprised all the team members. Assuming the people around the business district had been evacuated, aside from themselves and Team Two’s Awakened, there were only five imposters left.
Where did the other person come from? Could they be from Team Two?
Before opening their mouths, Flame continued: "We all know Team Two members, it’s not them, it’s a young man holding a cleaver in one hand and a severed arm in the other, with a grim scar on his face."
Upon hearing these descriptions, the voice addressed as deputy team leader sighed in relief: "That’s Shadow, a newcomer who just joined Team Two; he’s one of ours, nothing to worry about."
Even after the assurance, Flame was hesitant, asking, "Deputy team leader, are you sure he’s one of ours?"
"Absolutely sure, I reviewed his file with the captain together, he exposed the imposter’s existence in the recent news, why?" the voice asked puzzled.
Flame hesitantly raised his head.
Looking at the battle not far away—
That youth, named Shadow, was slicing the imposter’s limbs like flaying, gore spreading before they completely lost ability to act, making Flame’s hairs stand on end.
Subsequently, he pulled out the severed limb in his other hand, appearing to interrogate the opponent.
Facing the imposter’s terrified pleas for mercy, the youth mercilessly pried open their mouth, pressed the teeth against the sidewalk edge, and stomped down to cause blood to flow.
As the imposter continued pleading, the youth kept changing tactics.
This almost execution-like method chilled Flame yet again.
Crucially, she couldn’t see any hesitation in the youth; he seemed to act as if it was righteous.
"Deputy team leader, he feels more like a villain..."
