Looking at the Ramon who was undergoing a mutation reaction, Leon asked Chris in a low voice, "How many rounds of grenade launcher ammo do we have left?"
This wasn't playing a ga, it was impossible to pick up bullets everywhere, and even more impossible to find a rchant to buy things like rocket launchers. The ammo on them could truly be said to be one shot less per shot.
"Already used up long ago, when we were fighting that guy with the long tail." Chris patted the ammo pouch on his waist. That spot was originally where the grenade rounds were stored. Now it could only be used as a magazine storage pouch, and patting it gave off bang bang sounds.
Leon imdiately said helplessly, "Can't you save a bit? There's no place here for us to replenish ammo."
Chris glanced at him, "I'll pay attention next ti. When you're being chased by a monster again, I'll definitely only greet it with rifle bullets."
"..." Leon, "I was just complaining…"
Chris, "I understand."
As the two were speaking, Ramon had already completed his mutation. His entire body was enveloped by a maw full of sharp teeth, looking extrely terrifying.
Leon and Chris looked at it and started to feel a headache, without heavy weapons, taking it down would be way too difficult.
However, just as Ramon let out a sharp screech and was about to launch an attack on them, suddenly, a rocket shot in from outside the altar, flying just above their heads, and then directly hitting Ramon.
Completely unprepared, Ramon, along with the mouthparts covering his body, was instantly blown to pieces, with broken limbs and severed arms flying everywhere.
Leon and Chris were first dumbfounded as they stared at the scene before them, then almost simultaneously turned to look at the altar entrance. There, they saw a familiar face.
"YES, RPG."
At the entrance of the altar, Aiden shouted loudly while raising his fist, this action was one he learned from an emoji on the internet.
Tossing the still-smoking RPG launcher to the side to Fabiola, Aiden clapped his hands, walked into the church, and said to Leon and Chris, "Surprised or not, unexpected or not?"
"Rather than surprise and unexpectedness, I feel more like I'm still scared." Leon rubbed his head, when the rocket flew over their heads, the tail fla almost burned his hair.
"You almost destroyed my hair," he continued.
"That's why I said it was just an accident. I already told you just now," Aiden spread his hands, defending himself with an innocent look.
Leon still wanted to complain a few more sentences, but at this ti Chris interrupted him, "How did you find this place?"
He wasn't suspecting Aiden, just confused. After all, he had only told Aiden the na of the city, not the specific location. Then he glanced at the few won behind Aiden, especially Ada, whom he still had so impression of.
"There's no problem that money can't solve. If there is, it ans you didn't pay enough. I spent money to hire a local, and he brought here," Aiden said, though he felt a bit sad inside, the driver who had taken his money was already dead.
Leon, however, thought Chris was suspecting Aiden, so he said, "Aiden once told his money was blown in by the wind. That's indeed his style."
"I'm not suspecting him," Chris explained, then looked at the scattered remains of Ramon's corpse and continued, "Alright, we don't have ti to chat here. We must quickly find Ashley."
"That guy said Ashley was taken to the island by Saddler. Sounds like we should find a boat first," Leon also glanced at Ramon's corpse, then added, "Of course, we could also swim over."
"No need to swim. There's a small dock behind the castle, and there's a small boat there. I even got the key." Aiden took out the key to the boat from his pocket and waved it in front of Leon and Chris.
When they had co to the altar, they had already gone to the dock behind the castle in advance. Originally, his idea was to wait for Leon and Chris on the boat, but after waiting a while without seeing them, he ca to look for them.
Leon imdiately said, "In that case, let's head out quickly."
A fully-loaded boat sped across the surface of the water. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the twilight and thick fog. An isolated island appeared before everyone on the boat.
Although it was called an island, it had already been transford into a factory. Countless chimneys were spewing black smoke day and night. Even from a distance, everyone on the boat could already sll the pungent odor.
So if we're talking about global warming and environntal degradation, this island definitely made a big contribution.
Aiden rubbed his nose uncomfortably. After his physical fitness improved, his sense of sll also beca much more sensitive, he was extrely sensitive to this kind of odor.
He frowned and said, "Only in Europe could this be allowed. If this was in our country, the Environntal Bureau would've shut it down a long ti ago."
"I think the one that should investigate here the most is the Tax Bureau. Who knows how many years of taxes they haven't paid. The Tax Bureau's lords must be very upset for not receiving a single cent from here," Leon was from M country, and M-style humor ca naturally.
"Too bad this isn't M country. Otherwise, if you made a call now, maybe half an hour later the Tax Bureau's F-16s would start bombing this place," Aiden had of course heard of M country's famous Tax Bureau, so he played along with Leon's joke.
"If you put it that way, I really want to try it." Leon was definitely a fun guy. Hearing Aiden's words, he actually took out his communicator.
But just as he pulled it out, the communicator gave a beep and automatically entered call mode.
"Huh? The communication channel's been hacked… It's actually Saddler."
Leon looked at the avatar appearing on the communicator and, seeing it was Saddler, was a bit surprised.
"I told you the Secret Service's equipnt had problems. Hunnigan just wouldn't believe ."
Muttering softly, Leon began speaking to Saddler, "Hey, that shorty has already been dealt with by us."
"I can see that. That guy couldn't do anything right," Saddler said without surprise. In his eyes, Ramon was just a tool.
"So, won't you consider giving up and returning Ashley to us? Otherwise, we'll be coming to deal with you next." Leon tried persuading him.
Saddler sneered coldly, "Don't be mistaken. That guy was just a minor character. You think I'm as easy to deal with as him?"
"Saddler, you're also just a minor character," Leon said with complete disdain.
"Is that so? Then I shall await your arrival on the island… Hahaha…" Saddler laughed loudly after finishing, then hung up the call.
Leon put away his communicator, shrugged toward Aiden and Chris, and said, "Failed to convince him. Looks like we'll still have to fight."
"Seems like he prefers physical persuasion." Aiden wasn't surprised at all. He pulled the bolt on his gun forcefully, readying for battle.
As they spoke, under Ada's control, the boat stopped at a shallow beach. Then the group quickly got off the boat and began advancing inland along a man-made path.
The path on the island wasn't easy to walk. Most of the roads were carved out of cliff faces. It took the group quite a bit of effort before they finally entered the island's factory area.
However, before they could get a clear look at the layout of the factory, a hail of bullets suddenly ca raining down on them. The fierce firepower forced them to scatter and use the protruding rocks around them as cover, returning fire.
Attacking them was a group of rcenaries dressed in various camouflage uniforms. They had also been parasitized. Although they retained part of their intelligence and could still use firearms, their aim was unreliable. Most of the ti, they were firing wildly into the sky, it looked more like a celebration.
Even the weakest among Aiden's group had undergone professional military training. Facing these parasitized rcenaries, they felt no pressure at all. With just a few short bursts, they wiped out all the enemies within visual range.
Then Aiden made a hand gesture to halt in place and charged forward alone.
But as soon as he rushed a few steps, several rcenaries hidden in the shadows appeared and opened fire. Yet before their gunshots could fully ring out, they were already taken down by Ada and the others.
Compared to normal humans, the parasitized rcenaries' reaction ti was still too slow.
After clearing the outer rcenaries, the group quickly stord into the factory. After several fierce battles, they arrived at the factory's surveillance room.
In fact, with Aiden around, whether they went to the surveillance room or not didn't matter, but he didn't want to appear too obvious, that would arouse Leon and Chris's suspicion.
One of the surveillance monitors just so happened to be showing the place where Ashley was being held. But just after everyone glanced at it, the screen suddenly went black, probably because the rcenaries discovered they had entered the surveillance room and had cut the power to the caras.
Helpless, the group had no choice but to leave the surveillance room and rely on the details they saw on the screen to search.
This was where Aiden's prophet-like advantage ca in. Under his deliberate guidance, the group successfully found the room where Ashley was being held.
After taking out the guards at the door, Aiden smashed the iron lock with the butt of his rifle. But just as he opened the door, Leon couldn't wait and rushed in.
"Leon!" As soon as Leon entered, Ashley threw herself into his arms and began crying excitedly.
"It's okay now. You're safe, Ashley." Leon said while stroking Ashley's hair.
Hearing the conversation inside, Aiden peeked in, then let out an "oh," and thought to himself with a sigh.
"Aren't you jealous?" Aiden nudged Chris with his elbow.
Chris was stunned for a mont and asked, "Jealous of what?"
"Look!" Aiden nodded toward the inside.
Chris understood what he ant and shook his head.
"Raising a girl from youth isn't bad either. I think Leon's planning on that." Aiden whispered, "Ever watched R-nation ani? This kind of plot is one of the most popular."
"Aiden, why do I feel like you're calling Leon a pervert…" Chris looked helpless.
"I didn't say that, you said it." Aiden grinned mischievously.
Chris gave him a sidelong glance, then looked toward Fabiola standing beside Roberta and said, "I feel like you're no different from Leon. She probably isn't of age either."
"Huge difference." Aiden said seriously, "Fabiola's ntal maturity is much greater than Ashley's. You can't treat her like a child."
Chris, "..."
The group chatted for a while, and then Leon and Ashley ca out of the room.
"Uncle Chris."
Ashley had received a good education, and as soon as she ca out, she greeted Chris, but her choice of title at this ti made Aiden laugh out loud.
Hearing Aiden's laughter, Chris's face turned very unpleasant. He imdiately complained to Aiden, "I already told her, I'm only thirty-one, just a few years older than Leon, but she insists on adding 'Uncle' after my na."
"Do you know why?" Aiden said with a grin.
"Why?"
"Because you're not growing along the lines of a young girl's aesthetic." Aiden patted Chris on the shoulder with a look of regret.
Although Chris's looks weren't bad either, the lines on his face were too tough. Ashley was still a teenage girl, clearly, she found Leon, the sharp-featured pretty boy, more pleasing to the eye.
