Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 630 - 488: Independent Action Brigade
The entire medical system of Songtao Lang City was operating at full capacity, a scene of frenetic activity.
Rainbow, accompanied by Chen Gu, reached the top of the building. She sat on the building's edge, leaning comfortably against a low wall with one long leg dangling over the side. In her hand, she held a bottle of her favorite brand of milk, taking small sips, her eyes squinting with enjoyment.
The wind on the rooftop was crisp, and they watched the rescue operations unfold below, tense yet orderly.
The perpetrators had been dealt with. The Bureau of Mystic Security's action team, which rushed in subsequently, administered heavy doses of sedatives to the parasitized audience members, causing both them and the larvae inside their bodies to fall into a coma.
A plethora of medical robots were requisitioned, working at top speed to extract these larvae from their bodies.
Charles and his team were also rescued. It wasn't that Chen Gu had intentionally tried to undermine him; this time, Charles had completed the mission by taking great risks. Upon his return, he was certain to be rewarded and promoted. Although Charles liked to show off, he didn't have any major flaws, and he and Chen Gu went way back. It was only right to give him a boost when the opportunity arose.
The atmosphere between Rainbow and Chen Gu was a bit awkward. The only sound was the whooshing of the wind in their ears. Thankfully, a ringing phone broke the uncomfortable silence.
"Those larvae, keep them for me! I want them alive!" Dr. Meng Ji spoke rapidly, his words like bullets.
Chen Gu smiled and said, "I knew you'd ask for that. Don't worry, I've prepared one hundred live samples for you!"
"HAHAHA!" Dr. Meng Ji was delighted. "Thanks a lot!"
Rainbow finally finished her bottle of milk, leaving some milky white traces around her mouth. She wiped her mouth contentedly, stretched lazily, and said, "Alright, let's head back."
They tacitly avoided bringing up Aviloya again.
Chen Gu now understood why Aunt Rainbow treated him so well: it was because he had rescued Aviloya last time. The charm of a Valkyrie truly is immense—not just men, but women were drawn to them too.
"All of you, get on!"
The members of the Digital Group, regardless of what they were doing, simultaneously had this dialogue box pop up before them. Just three simple words, yet they clearly conveyed the fury of Number 21, lurking within the network.
"The Songtao Lang City operation has failed completely!"
Number 11 was the first to exclaim in disbelief, "What? I'll contact them immediately..."
"No need. I've already confirmed it!" Recalling the conversation he'd had with Number 11 not long ago, Number 21 felt a surge of shame and irritation! Our tactics and strategies were completely crushed by the enemy. They successfully predicted our moves and turned them against us, smoothly sabotaging the Songtao Lang City operation and inflicting heavy losses upon us.
Number 11 was speechless, a stark contrast to his previous confident and assertive demeanor.
"What about the other operations? Can we convert these feints into real attacks?" another Number asked.
"It's too late," Number 21 said. "Besides, the failure in Songtao Lang City has cost us dearly. Those thousands of 'Demon Infant Insect' eggs were cultivated at the cost of billions of Starshields."
At this, all the Numbers felt the sting of the loss.
Finally, Number 21 said, "Just wait. I'm sure the Bureau of Mystic Security has made thorough preparations this time. We'll soon hear news of those feint operations failing!"
Then, the furious and frustrated Number 21 delivered a final sentence before disappearing, "Someone must be held accountable for this failure!"
The Numbers silently closed the dialogue box. Accountable? Who would be held accountable? It could only be Number 11.
Several reports landed on Aviloya's desk one after another. The first, naturally, was about Songtao Lang City, followed by others detailing minor attacks. It was clear at a glance that these actions were merely cover for the Songtao Lang City operation.
Having read the report on the Songtao Lang City operation, Aviloya also breathed a long sigh of relief. Even she couldn't help but think to herself at this moment, Thank goodness Chen Gu was there. You have to admit, that kid is really useful. So useful it's almost addictive; you immediately think of him whenever there's a need.
However, Aviloya soon became as exasperated as Number 21. Why? Because an itemized list of expenses for the aftermath was attached to the report.
The mobilization of medical resources—for which the attacked audience members obviously couldn't be expected to pay—combined with the cost of repairing the damaged cinema, created a significant bill. The Bureau of Mystic Security had to bear a portion of it. Even though it wasn't the full amount, it was enough to make Aviloya furious enough to curse.
"The entire Digital Group deserves to be executed!"
After a moment's thought, she called Dr. Meng Ji, "How is the research on those live samples progressing?"
"I've just completed the first phase of testing," Dr. Meng Ji, ever efficient, replied swiftly. "You absolutely must give a major commendation to the Special Operations Division!
"My preliminary assessment is that these insects are extremely dangerous. If they were to hatch, it would be a catastrophe. Their mature forms are terrifying because their primary instinct is reproduction.
"They will continuously attack humans, laying their eggs inside bodies and then using human nutrients to nurture their larvae. They will expand their population at an alarming rate.
"They can't even be considered part of the Alien Insect Race anymore. They're practically... demonic insects! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"The Digital Group are truly a bunch of lunatics to have created something like this."
