The team captain was actually quite nervous inside. As a second-level superpower user, most of his subordinates were Level 1 superpower users. If they really ran into the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, defeat was certain! However, he dared not just leave, fearing he might offend the higher-ups.
He thought for a moment, then dialed a number on his communicator. The other party didn’t turn on the video, so he could only speak to the shimmering blue screen, "Mr. Chu, we have reached the location you mentioned." His voice was incredibly sycophantic.
The voice from the speaker was somewhat cold, "Turn on the video, let me see."
The team captain complied immediately, hurriedly turned on the video, smiled at the camera, and then pointed it at the chaotic battlefield. He held the communicator for a while, capturing almost the entire battlefield, then cautiously asked, "Mr. Chu, did you see clearly?"
The person didn’t answer but suddenly asked, "Where is Bai Ye? Why isn’t he there?"
The team captain quickly replied, "Oh, they have already left..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Chu interrupted him dissatisfiedly, "Why did you let them leave? Didn’t I tell you? It’s best to keep them there!"
The captain felt extremely bitter internally, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to keep those people; he simply lacked the strength! Yet Mr. Chu was clearly furious, and he didn’t dare to refute but could only cautiously say, "Mr. Chu, it’s really not that I didn’t want to keep them, it’s just that those people ran too fast! But I asked, and they said they hadn’t encountered anyone from the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, could there be... could there be some mistake, perhaps the informant got it wrong?"
Mr. Chu had approached him saying that an informant reported the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps had appeared here, and to verify the reliability of this information, they had come to investigate if they could find any clues proving the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps had indeed been here.
The other group, seeing them come from afar, didn’t suspect they were from the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, instead thinking they were a new Corpse Hunting Team. However, when these people got off the truck, they realized something was amiss.
The difference between the two groups was stark. The newcomers were like bloodthirsty wolves, while the earlier ones were like helpless sheep. Seeing the menacing new arrivals, someone yelled "Run," and everyone rushed towards the truck.
But just then, a "bang" of a gunshot rang, and a bullet grazed a poor fellow’s leg, hitting the truck’s tire, followed by a "hiss" as the tire began to deflate. With the tire burst, the truck became immobile.
The man who was nicked in the thigh screamed in pain, clutching his wound, while the others, including the captain, turned pale and watched in horror the big man holding the gun.
Just then, someone said, "Idiot! Don’t waste bullets!" Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the same person ordered, "Kill them all, leave none alive!"
