Chapter 392: Chapter 370 Betrayal

"K City... huh, that seems like a place plagued by disasters." The woman spoke indifferently, "Anyway, summon the Omega Squad to head to K City immediately. This time with a human body, let’s see how she escapes..."

At this moment,

"Uh... I have something to say." The captain raised his hand and spoke.

"What is it?" the woman asked.

The captain scratched his head: "It’s just... all members of the Omega Squad are currently in the coastal area of Southeast Asia..."

"What!?" Before he could finish, the woman interrupted him, her voice raising several degrees: "You sent them to find that... what’s his name again..."

"You can just call him Dos." The captain responded with a pout.

"Fine, so you sent them after your Dos? And everyone?" the woman shouted. "You know, mobilizing the Omega Squad should at least be reported to the council!"

"But he’s one of my team members; this is an internal matter for our team! Are you suggesting I just abandon him?" The captain also seemed to get a bit heated and began to argue his point.

"Enough, stop arguing!" An old man interrupted the two: "They are a team, it’s easy to understand. If he truly let his team member’s whereabouts remain unknown, then he wouldn’t be fit to be the captain of Omega! So let’s focus on solving the current problem."

"Alright..." The woman conceded, knowing that arguing further was pointless: "So, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Notify the field agents nearby K City, one and all, to lead with the highest level team to stabilize the situation. Even if we have to stack up personnel, it’s better than letting that person escape." The chubby man muttered from the side.

"Alright, that’s the only option!"

...

The focus shifted to Chen Xiao, who was currently leaning back in a worn-out chair, legs crossed in an ungraceful manner.

Suddenly, his phone started ringing. He appeared to have anticipated this as he opened it: "Heh, the mission came so quickly."

He twisted his head, looking beside him where, astonishingly, Angel was sitting.

This was inside a factory on the outskirts of K City.

When considering a place far from the downtown area, where few people roamed, with poor reception, and ideally spacious, Chen Xiao thought of this spot, especially since he had spent an unpleasant night here a few months back. Oh right, the two bodies in the basement are probably eaten up by now... Anyway, no one would care about them.

Now, standing inside the factory, were all the members of The Splitters, except for Ah Ming, Eyeball Jun, and Locksmith. Qiu Mujin wrote a few words on an already recorded tape, then had to sit and rest, evidently weakened. Using the pen had indeed caused her great distress, the visible cracks spreading from under her clothes to her cheeks, resembling porcelain about to shatter, and they didn’t subside for a long while.

"So... you’re just going to hand me over to the Foundation?" Angel looked at Chen Xiao and said.

"Not exactly, since you can also stay in this lifeless body and wait for death," Chen Xiao blandly replied. "So stop complaining. We’re all smart here; you’re going to die eventually. If you had any better ideas, you would’ve mentioned them, but here you are, still sitting."

Angel nodded; indeed, she had no other options: "Alright, you’re correct."

She said, and everyone else remained silent, since they too had to admit that Chen Xiao was right. Even Song Xuan could only stare coldly at Chen Xiao without saying a word... well, actually, that’s usually how she was.

"Alright, I know it’s hard to accept that we’re handing over a comrade, but the best show of respect for a companion who is as good as dead isn’t to just leave their body lying there, but to make use of it somehow," Chen Xiao said in an inelegant manner.

"Bastard!" Song Xuan and Lin Fan cursed in unison.

Chen Xiao remained unmoved: "So now, it’s time for everyone to show how important the word ’companion’ is to each of us... Come on, take your positions, we need to make it look real."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao even shook his phone: "Someone might come soon, remember what we discussed."

...

Since a research area in K City was still under reconstruction, there were particularly few field agents nearby, and the "Playful Birds" as a B-level squad, were undoubtedly the highest ranked team among them.

Soon, four or five D-level personnel arrived, dressed in standard black suits and carrying modified pistols. After a while, another D-level four-person squad arrived, two of them equipped with bulletproof suits... Chen Xiao sighed at these obviously "rookie" juniors — he wasn’t much better than them now.

These were all the personnel involved in this mission; due to various reasons, the Foundation had to make this kind of deployment. The role of these people, sadly, was to use everything they had, including their lives, to hold the target back. After all, the lives of a few field agents compared to the value of a Dimensional Materialization product was practically negligible.

And these D-level personnel were completely oblivious, carrying the mindset, "Earn enough from this fight to strike it rich," as they followed the already prepared leader of the ’Playful Birds’ squad into this grand act.

Here, they also witnessed the combat abilities of high-ranking field agents. That towering, muscular, serious man, who surged through gunfire like a one-man armored vehicle, and that scrawny woman so fast one couldn’t even see her form, each of her stops followed by a spurt of fresh blood. And that strangely looking man... hmm... he seemed to have done nothing. No, perhaps he was the real powerhouse, for instance... who knows, just now he mentioned, he was this team’s captain!

Anyway, soon after a brutal battle, the enemy suffered countless dead and wounded, and ultimately, one person had to transport all the fallen bodies and the living, using a method resembling "teleportation," and took them all away while on their side, it seemed that apart from two separate D-level agents who had been seriously injured, there weren’t too many losses, leaving only a woman sitting in a wheelchair, unconscious.

This mission... was a success!!

At this moment, everyone’s look towards the Playful Birds was filled with admiration, seeing Chen Xiao as a profoundly inscrutable figure.

Perhaps this was the first time in his life that Chen Xiao was subjected to such scrutiny... come to think of it, he was still not quite used to it.
