North American Detective: I am Proficient in All Kinds of Gun Quick Draws-Chapter 552 - 318: The Fall of Lucifer Part 1 (Additional for the Glorious Silver Pact at Night)_3

This was the first time Cheston En had felt warmth from strangers since losing his family.

But today, such a good boss was gone!

Damn Lucifer Organization! I, Cheston En, swear, even if it costs me my life, I will tear a piece of flesh from you!

TAP. TAP. TAP.

Confirming there was no danger, Black Widow climbed down from the cabin top. She walked over to Cheston En, glanced at the sea with pity, then took the collar off her neck and threw it away.

Dean had just left the cruise ship, and no explosion followed.

It was then Black Widow realized the collars on their necks no longer flashed with light. Obviously, some incident had occurred at the Lucifer Organization base.

She patted Cheston En on the shoulder. "Cheston En, let me formally introduce myself. I am the team leader of CIA Special Unit 16. If you want to help Dean get revenge, you can leave the FBI and join my team after we get out of here."

Cheston En turned his head and looked coldly at Black Widow. "What can you offer me with your power on the outside?"

Black Widow smiled and reached into her pocket. After a moment, she pulled out a pitch-black device about the length of a grown man's forearm, coated with an unknown viscous liquid. She opened a small compartment on it and pressed a button.

Having done all this, she then said seriously, "This is a locator. Our people will arrive soon. To tell you the truth, you've been injected with a very dangerous drug. We can't let you leave. Besides, the Lucifer Organization itself involves high-ranking members of the FBI, major financial conglomerates, and even the military. Without our cooperation, even if you make it back to land, you're heading for certain death!"

Cheston En stared at the sticky cylindrical object in Black Widow's hands. For a moment, even the grief of losing Boss Dean lessened considerably.

How the hell did this woman manage to move so freely while carrying something so big?!

Noticing Cheston En's gaze, Black Widow scoffed. She threw the device into the sea and began wiping her hands, her face dark.

This FBI agent is so clueless!

「Under the sea.」

Time rewound to ten minutes earlier.

The instant he hit the water, Dean, who was struggling fiercely, took a deep breath. He tore off his clothes, punched the musclebound thug in the throat, then wrapped his arms and legs around him again, dragging them both down into the depths.

Acting is exhausting.

Dean exhaled a bubble. Watching the struggling thug, a savage smile crept onto his face as he slowly exerted force with his limbs.

The thug's beast-like limbs twisted under Dean's brute force. Finally, a series of sickening crunches, the sound of breaking bones, echoed as the man's body contorted into a mangled heap...

Watching the thug's body convulse as he gulped seawater and slowly sank to the seabed, Dean shook his head.

These test subjects are too impure. Their bodies are rigid, all brawn and no skill. Only their lack of pain sensation could be considered an advantage in combat.

Even in a real fight, Dean was confident he could kill one of these pieces of industrial waste with a single punch!

He regulated his heart rate slightly.

Dean tore off the rest of his clothes. He placed his palm over several barely visible puncture marks on his skin. His muscles writhed, squeezing out the thin electronic needles lodged inside. He crushed them and threw them away.

With that, all remaining hidden dangers were gone.

After finishing all this, Dean adjusted his heart rate further to reduce his body's oxygen consumption. He once again became like a supple python, swimming towards the island Little Mike had provided. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

In fact, his Subspace contained not only an inflatable speedboat but also a satellite jammer provided by Little Mike.

But Dean didn't trust Little Mike.

What if the jammer had a tracking function? With Little Mike's intelligence, he could probably deduce many of Dean's secrets.

That was something Dean absolutely would not allow!

He would rather rely on his formidable cardiopulmonary abilities, surfacing periodically for air and swimming to the island unaided. He refused to risk even the slightest exposure for a moment's convenience!

「As Dean rapidly approached the island.」

Meanwhile, on the base island, Sean and a group of Lucifer Organization executives stood before a heavy door. Their faces were grim as they tried to open it.

The base had suddenly been attacked by hackers controlled by an unknown force.

According to the base's technical staff assessment, a large number of hackers were involved, clearly not some minor players targeting them.

In the short term, Lucifer's technicians were completely unable to cope with the impact of the data flood.

Their only option was to disconnect from the network and then restart with a new encrypted system.

But that wasn't an operation that could be completed quickly.

Besides, that wasn't even the crucial issue! The key point was that the Lucifer base used an independent network system. Although it still used conventional network protocols for convenience in interfacing with the outside world, its channels were encrypted. Under normal circumstances, it should have been impossible for outsiders to penetrate it using technical means! Outsiders couldn't even find the 'door,' so how could they intrude? The current situation pointed to only one possibility: There was a mole within the base!

Therefore, Sean and the others, without the slightest hesitation, immediately locked down all areas within the base. They also jammed all communications on the island to prevent the traitor from causing further damage or leaking information.

Sean scanned the executives present, his gaze lingering for a moment on Gabriel's mask, before he said in a low voice, "Gentlemen, this location has been compromised. We must evacuate immediately. However, before we leave, we must activate the base's self-destruct system and also destroy all the experimental vessels!"
