Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Welcome to Area 17_1

Meanwhile, in the bustling district of Zone 17.

"Lilian has been exposed!"

The earpiece was extremely noisy.

Without needing a reminder, the others already knew what had happened.

Because Lilian, who was supposed to occupy the high ground for sniping, almost shot Aureliano in the face in front of thousands of people, aiming her gun at him.

This was not the way a sniper should act.

For a moment, they seemed to understand why Will had been arrested for planting explosives at the Law Enforcers’ headquarters last night.

A psychic.

They were sure that just a minute ago, Lilian had been at the pre-planned sniper spot—a 70-story building directly opposite the Central Square!

"Bang—"!

A gunshot cut through the sky.

But this gunshot did not come from Lilian. Even though they had been battle-hardened for a long time, they could not identify the source of the bullet. They just saw the bullet pierce the gun in Lilian’s hand, and the impact made her fall to the ground.

"Cover!"

As old comrades, the firepower expert immediately took action.

The moment he kicked open the car door, he threw a smoke grenade towards the crowd. As long as they rushed into the smoke, killing Aureliano would be no problem. At the same time, the smoke would cause chaos and provide an opportunity for Lilian to retreat.

The next second!

The smoke grenade bounced back off the wall, and the rising smoke instantly smeared his face, making him cough non-stop.

As he gasped for air, he realized that he is not at the Central Square. He was in a public toilet almost a kilometer away from the square. Before he could figure out the situation, he felt a pain in his back and was engulfed by a strong electric current.

A voice came from the gas mask in the smoke, "Report, Target Two, apprehended."

Everything happened in a flash, leaving the earpiece in a long silence.

seconds.

This was the time the Law Enforcers used to capture the two of them.

"The door, it’s the door!"

The hacker suddenly said. As the one coordinating the whole situation, he noticed that both of his companions did the same thing before things went wrong—they passed through a door.

This ordinary action had unexpectedly plunged them into a dilemma. "Stay where you are, don’t act rashly, let me check the data map..."

The thunderous noise above his head interrupted the hacker’s thoughts. Three armored floating cars stopped above him, and the long shadows covered their getaway vehicle.

With a few unmistakably close booming sounds, the ground seemed to be trembling. Several Law Enforcers, clad in exoskeleton armor, heavily surrounded the vehicle. Their anti-equipment weapons were already pointed at their vehicle.

As the commander, Doug nonchalantly raised a hand towards Aureliano, who was far away on the podium. Aureliano gave a slight smile and continued his speech. "We are gathered here for the future of this city. From this moment on, we no longer need to bow to any enemy..."

This was a trap.

The fallout between Lu Xiang and Aureliano was all part of their plan to lower their guard.

And when they bared their fangs, it only took 37 seconds to take them down one by one.

"Please step out of the vehicle and place your hands where we can see them."

The Law Enforcers’ call came from the outside.

We’re screwed.

As the word flashed through the hacker’s mind, he was hauled out from the driver’s seat by Doug, holding him up in mid-air like a little chicken.

This wasn’t like the opponents they’d come up against in the neutral country. It was as if... all their movements were firmly under the control of the opponent.

This was a trap specifically designed for them.

"Target Three, apprehended."

...

Elsewhere.

A man with a prominent scar on his nose turned off his earpiece, propping his hands on the window sill as he looked down at the crowd. From this perspective, everything in Central Square seemed insignificantly small, a blurry smattering of circles, whether it was Aureliano or the citizens listening to his speech.

He heard footsteps behind him but didn’t turn right away.

"Colonel Perton..."

Lu Xiang recognized him.

Years ago, a secret force operating in the "Outside" had betrayed the United Government. The force’s commander, Perton, was charged with treason.

His crime was the brutal slaughter of civilians in a small town while on a mission in the "Outside".

A subsequent investigation revealed that the ’cleaned up’ town was not a Rebel Army stronghold, and it didn’t have any weapons of mass destruction, as suggested by the intelligence.

These revelations sparked uproar in the Neutral Country, causing severe damage to the United Government’s image.

The United Government then found a scapegoat in Colonel Perton. After a conflict with the locals, Perton massacred the town’s residents and tried to cover up his crimes by falsely claiming the presence of weapons of mass destruction.

Lu Xiang knew about this because a senior who had taken good care of her was involved in the mission to hunt down the rebellious force. This mission was like a graduation exam for them.

Heavy gunfire had erupted between the two forces, ending with almost the entire rebel force being wiped out. Only Perton and a few of his remnants managed to escape, their whereabouts unknown ever since.

Lu Xiang didn’t expect to meet the traitor whose photo she had seen once in the archive room in this way.

The reason for Perton’s massacre of the town’s civilians and the truth behind his treason...

Perhaps no one cared anymore.

The United Government had already closed the case, putting an end to the matter.

"Welcome to Zone Seventeen."

"The only ones who could bring vitality to the law enforcers of this city are the graduates from that school."

Perton lit a cigarette for himself. The atmosphere between the two was not tense, their conversation was more like that of long-lost friends. "How is life in Zone Seventeen treating you?"

"I’m adjusting."

"That’s good."

Perton leaned back, blowing out a ring of smoke, "However, your presence in Zone Seventeen shows that after all these years, the United Government hasn’t changed one bit."

After many years, he had returned to his homeland for the first time.

When he was sent to the "Outside" for a mission, he had never imagined that the trip would last almost a decade. The changes the city had undergone were so drastic that he couldn’t keep up.

If a border city could prosper so much, he could only imagine the state of the central areas.

Unfortunately, it seemed that their journey wouldn’t be taking them that far this time.

"You’ll need to surrender and cooperate with us."

Without hesitation, Lu Xiang aimed her gun at Perton.

No matter what had transpired in the past, her current job was to apprehend Perton and his accomplices.

"That may be difficult."

Perton produced a syringe from his sleeve, filled with a mysterious green solution, "Capturing a criminal after a struggle is much more satisfying, isn’t it?"

As he spoke, he inserted the needle into his artery.

In response, Lu Xiang fired the gun.

The bullet went straight through his body, shattering the window. Perton plummeted from the 80-story high building.

He was greeted by the azure sky and the blinding sun.

The whistling wind echoed in his ears.

He could feel an odd sensation spreading through his body, coursing through his veins.

As his vision became clear again, the sun seemed to be obstructed.

Only a hue of blood red lingered in Perton’s pupils.
