Chapter 124: Human Intervention

"My lord?!"

The vampires, who had already prepared to die, never expected that their "master" would choose to surrender?

"Put down your guns!" the female vampire repeated again.

With werewolves behind, the unseen Special Task Force ahead, and the master's order, the vampires finally chose to drop their firearms and raise their hands in surrender.

"Cease fire." Pulaise also issued an order to hold fire.

Since they are willing to cooperate, our Special Task Force won't massacre them.

Immediately after, Pulaise changed the order: "Zero, Scarecrow, Meatball, control this bunch."

The three Special Task Force members who received the order stepped forward, took handcuffs from the rear waist storage box, and handcuffed the vampires behind their backs.

Immediately after, Zero and the three forced the six vampires to the ground, then took out restraints to bind their feet, rendering these human-looking beings completely immobile.

Two vampires were extremely unwilling, even wanting to suddenly break free of the restraints to show the Special Task Force their inhuman strength, but.

!

!!

But even if they exerted all their strength, they could not break free of the handcuffs and restraints.

After all, the handcuffs are made of tantalum-titanium alloy, and the restraints are a biomimetic technology product of the hive, made of spider-silk fiber.

Handcuffs and restraints are standard issue for the MTF to control humanoid anomalous phenomena; they are not something these vampires can break free of.

After securing the vampires, Pulaise continued the order: "Archer, Worm, Vanguard, Apex, Bishop, you five sweep the subway platform."

Having received the order, the five archers went down the stairs, then through the right-turning stairwell, to the subway platform to sweep the remaining werewolves.

Tap! Tap-tap!

Short bursts of pulse gunfire sounded, indicating that the archers had already engaged the werewolves in fire.

At this moment.

"Who are you?"

The female vampire lying on the stair platform lifted her head and spoke the aforementioned words.

Until now, Pulaise and the other Special Task Force members remained in a "stealth" state, which made the female vampire want to obtain more information to analyze what exactly they were about to face.

"."

However, all the female vampire got was silence.

Seeing this, the female vampire said nothing more and had to honestly lie on the stair platform.

Next, the five archers thoroughly swept the subway station and its side tunnels.

During this, four werewolves attempted to transform as a final resistance, but before completing the transformation, they were shot down by concentrated fire from the archers.

The Special Task Force won't wait for you to finish transforming.

On the surface, Soap, who led the main force of the Special Task Force, did not forget Leon's instructions; he shot down every werewolf within sight and also captured two alive.

Werewolves are not as cooperative as vampires.

So, the Special Task Force had to personally teach them the consequences of not giving face.

Howl!

The two werewolves driven into a dead-end alley howled loudly to the sky.

The two werewolves knew that the invisible Special Task Force seemed to want to capture them alive, so they, somewhat eager, wanted to transform into werewolf form to prepare to use their melee advantage.

Tap! Tap! a few shots of aimed fire.

"Pfft! Pfft!" the two werewolves' limbs came off in response.

"Howl! Howl" the two werewolves, having lost their limbs, lay on the ground howling in pain.

The Special Task Force members stationed at the alley entrance would not pity these werewolves that merely resemble humans in appearance.

The library's rooftop.

Leon, who had been watching the battle and providing real-time reports, seeing the situation settled, put away his agent-exclusive phone and got up to leave.

By the time he reached the street below, the Special Task Force had already deactivated their optical camouflage and were administering follow-up shots to the werewolf corpses on the ground.

Follow-up shots are a habit of Umbrella combat personnel.

Leon crossed the street to the opposite side and headed toward the subway station entrance.

After concluding the investigation of the Gobeckli relics a year ago, Leon applied to Sui Bian for a transfer out of the Middle East.

Sui Bian approved.

Having left the Middle East, Leon continued to be responsible for the European region's investigation, especially Greece, searching for relics related to the Olympian gods.

However, he found nothing.

On the contrary, while relaxing in an Athens bar to ease the frustration of no progress, he happened to notice several pale-skinned handsome women.

As an intelligence officer, Leon naturally felt those women were suspicious, so he paid extra attention to observe them.

After further covert tracking and investigation, Leon discovered that this group were actually day-sleeping, night-active vampires!

Continuing his investigation, Leon also obtained information about werewolves, though he never actually saw the so-called werewolves; he speculated that these two races have always hidden among humans.

Shortly after Leon reported this discovery, he found that recently the vampires seemed to be making a big move.

Last night.

Leon traced to Rome, discovering a group that appeared to be the vampire leadership gathered at the Trianon Manor Hotel on the west side of Rome's city center, seemingly holding an important interspecies meeting.

During this, Leon immediately called for support from the Special Task Force.

As Pulaise led the Special Task Force to arrive in Rome, he also learned of the support request from Buleiya and other intelligence officers.

Thus, Ghost and Xiaoqiang led a portion of the Special Task Force to the suburbs to assist Buleiya in controlling and eliminating the possible high-risk anomalous phenomenon known as "pasta".

Not long after Ghost and Xiaoqiang left, the vampire high-ranking members concluded their meeting and departed the manor hotel in five motorcades.

One of them, while passing through downtown streets, encountered a werewolf ambush that had been lying in wait for a long time.

The vehicle was destroyed, forcing this group of vampires to retreat to the nearest subway station entrance, attempting to withdraw underground.

However, the werewolves also blocked the subway station.

Finally, the addition of 141—or rather, the addition of humans—changed the fate of this vampire squad from annihilation.

Leon arrived at the subway station entrance and, alongside Pulaise—who had likewise deactivated his optical camouflage, unfolded his helmet, and was holding a lit cigar in his mouth—said:

"Captain Pulaise, any special findings?"

"Hah~!" Pulaise exhaled a puff of smoke, lifted his chin, and said:

"These vampires are more rational than the werewolves; we should be able to get useful intel from them. Do you need our 141 to assist you with on-site interrogation?"

Upon hearing this, Leon likewise lowered his gaze and saw, on the stair platform leading to the platform, the six vampires bound and tied up.

He then lightly shook his head and said, "No need to trouble yourself; we'll handle the rest. Moreover, the company's upper management is very concerned about this incident."

"All right." Pulaise said nothing more.

Not long after, a large number of black SUVs and black heavy trucks passed through the police blockade one after another and arrived at the scene.

Today's technicians and cleanup crew are going to be busy.

First came the "spaghetti" of mobilizing a massive force over a trivial matter; before they could even settle, they now had to deal with vampires and werewolves.

Also arriving alongside them were Buleiya and other intelligence officers, who needed to assist Leon in conducting a more in-depth investigation of the two races.
