"We sort out the goods in the desolate area. Those selected will be sent to the next village. Geno Society has a laboratory within that village," Quinton replied.
He then looked at us and gritted his teeth. ’But I’ll advise you not to go. The entire village benefited from Geno Society’s laboratory, and it has ford a chain of interest. Many abducted young won would also be sent there, and they would receive a handso reward if chosen.
"As such, the villagers would choose to protect Geno Society. You won’t be able to make it out if you rush in."
Education and legal awareness among the villagers of such rural areas were already scarce. Coupled with the entrenched influence of Geno Society, any outsiders coming to investigate would be viewed as obstructing their source of inco. The villagers would surely rise up in resistance.
Quinton was right. It would be dangerous to rush in.
"Why don’t you bring us in, then?’ I smiled.
Quinton snorted. "I would never do that. I’ll be dead either way-they’ll kill for crossing them."
Eason leaned against the door of the car. "You might be able to earn significant credit for your case if you help us out."
Quinton frowned. He was indeed afraid to die. The bunch of them were just a bunch of lunatics who enjoyed the thrill of killing, but they turned into cowards once the tables turned against them and they were now the prey.
"Think about it carefully," I threatened him once again.
Quinton remained silent while the others carefully watched him. They were all waiting to see his stance. "Help! Lyla is now in shock!" Several won were crying out for help on the other side. The woman with the leg injury had gone into shock from excessive bleeding.
Frowning, I swiftly made my way over.
There was a doctor in Zion’s team who administered a shot to her. However, the on-site dical conditions were just too limited.
"We need to send her to the hospital, Officer Landon.’ The doctor looked at Eason and Zion nervously.
"Go to the hospital now, and bring the won with you. Don’t settle for the village clinics nearby -just head back." Zion urged them to get into the car.
Taking advantage of our confusion, Quinton and the others exchanged glances and shoved the officers guarding them away. They then swiftly helped the injured people into the car and sped away.
Zion cursed and was about to go after them when I stopped him.
"They haven’t been pushed to the brink yet." I looked around at the darkening sky. "The car they got into reeks of blood, and the wolves have now caught up with them after trailing for the entire day."
We could see that the wolf pack had indeed caught up with them from a distance.
I said, "They need gas for their car, but they won’t be able to make it to the next gas station."
I had burned through quite so gas by driving wildly earlier. They wouldn’t be able to go even the extra mile if they were to go according to their schedule.
Zion instructed the three other police cars to escort the other won back first.
I looked at Maya and asked, "Are you willing to co with us? We’re going to find out the transaction location of those demons and rescue more of their victims.
Maya’s face was pale in terror. She nervously asked, "Can you guarantee my safety?"
I fell silent. We couldn’t guarantee her safety after all.
Zion kept quiet for a bit before saying, "Just let her leave."
Maya nervously turned to leave, but she stopped just as she was near the car. She then turned around and ca back. "I’ll go with all of you."
I looked at her. ’Aren’t you afraid? It’ll be equally dangerous at the scattered villages beyond the desolate area." They might block our path, demand money, or even resort to violence. There were too many hidden dangers out there, not to ntion the fact that we were going to look for Geno Society.
"I want to help you in saving the others,’ Maya replied seriously.
I looked at Zion, letting him make the final decision
"You need to consider it carefully. It’ll be dangerous," Zion reminded her again.
Maya said, "I’m aware that it’s dangerous. My mom used to tell that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. No one would help us out and give us pocket money without any reason.
"Not only did they invite us out to play and give us money to spend, but they even sent gifts during our livestreams. I knew they had ulterior motives. I just didn’t expect that they wanted to kill us."
Maya lowered her head, gripping her hands tight. "But I need money. Can you give so if I help you to save the others?"
"How much do you need?" Joel asked.
"One million-"Maya muttered with her head lowered.
She did not say why she needed the money, but she needed it desperately.
"No problem," Joel agreed easily.
Eason snickered. ’Do you even have the money?"
He then grumbled softly, "He hasn’t taken his eyes off that beauty at all."
Maya and Joel were about the sa age now, in their late teens. She was beautiful with stunning features and a perfect figure. Not only n, but even I couldn’t help but admire her appearance.
Joel awkwardly scratched his head. ’I don’t. But Dexter has it, right?"
Dexter was still carefully inspecting my hands. My fingers were red from all the rubbing while I was unaware. "I’m getting blisters now," I said, gritting my teeth.
Only then did Dexter look up and reply, ’Sure, I’ll do it."
He remained completely unmoved while facing a beauty like Maya. It was as if he didn’t even see her.
I started to doubt Dexter’s sense of aesthetics. Even though I was also good-looking, I still wouldn’t hold a candle to Maya.
The other won had chosen her before when they were asked to choose the most beautiful woman in a life-or-death situation. But Dexter seed to only have eyes for .
"Thank you." Maya looked at him sowhat excitedly.
It was probably the innocent flutter of a young woman’s heart. Dexter was the most good-looking and richest among everyone else here. Maya’s crush on him was rather evident.
Resigned, I held Dexter’s hand and introduced him to her, "This is my husband."
Maya seed disappointed, but she quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, Nella."
We got into the car to pursue after Quinton and the others. As there were tire marks along the road, we soon spotted their car after a few miles away.
They were all trapped in the car. None of them dared to get out as they were surrounded by the wolf pack. "Their tire’s gone flat," I said, chuckling coldly
They brought it upon themselves. They were the ones hitting the tire while trying to shoot earlier.
The wolf pack was attacking the car. They no longer had a car, and the wolves refused to leave them either. They would end up dying here if this continued.
I looked at the n trapped inside the car as our car passed theirs. I smiled and asked, "Are you sure you don’t want to talk to us?"
Quinton slamd his fist angrily at the steering wheel. Behind him, the others were starting to feel fearful." We surrender! We’ll give up and listen to the police’s arrangents!"
Quinton ended up giving up as well. "I’ll help you."
There were injured passengers in the car, and those with broken or injured legs needed urgent dical attention. We had no choice but to send them back with two cars.
With that, we were left with less than six of the initial police cars that ca.
The fewer people we have with us ant the more dangerous we would be placed in.
