Chapter 111: Devoid of Humanity

The leader of the special forces also noticed that they had found the drug dealers' base in the back mountain.

"First, secure the nearby surveillance."

"Divide the team into three squads and enter from three directions."

The team quickly divided into three squads, each starting to move to the sides to ensure all three squads could surround the drug dealers' base simultaneously.

They intended to wipe out all the drug dealers' effective strength in a pincer movement.

The special forces' operational capability was quite strong; in just a few minutes, they had reached their designated positions.

"Begin operation!"

Following the leader's order, the three squads began their encircling offensive simultaneously.

"Biu."

The slight sound of pistol fire caused the quiet, silent atmosphere of the surroundings to explode instantly.

"Damn it! We're being invaded!!!!"

A single curse instantly made the entire drug-trafficking base boil over.

But when the drug dealers rushed out with guns, they were met with a volley of submachine gun fire.

All members of the special forces acted with great uniformity.

It was in this round of volley fire that more than half of the drug dealers were gunned down.

"Watch out! There are many of them, and they aren't using pistols, but submachine guns!"

They had originally thought the enemies were only carrying pistols.

But one round of volley fire made the drug dealers inside realize that the opponents were not police with pistols, but a troop armed with submachine guns!

But why hadn't there been any news at all?

Just as the drug dealers were pondering this question, the troops outside had already prepared flashbangs.

The drug dealers were in almost enclosed spaces; to avoid damaging the drug-making materials and equipment inside the rooms as much as possible, flashbangs were a good choice.

The three squads threw flashbangs into the drug-making laboratories where the drug dealers were hiding from three different directions.

"Boom!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

In the enclosed space, the effect of the flashbangs was quite explosive.

It wasn't the effect of white light, but the destruction of high-pitched auditory and sensory perception.

Beyond the white light, there was a strong ringing in the ears, causing the drug dealers hiding in the drug-making labs to fall into almost complete chaos.

After waiting outside for about five seconds, the troops outside charged in with their weapons raised.

After a burst of gunfire, everything returned to calm.

After completing everything, the leader began to report.

"The drug-making laboratory in the back mountain has been searched."

"The drug dealers near the laboratory have been wiped out, and we are preparing to continue expanding the search range."

"Understood."

The leader nodded slightly.

"Leave two squads here to keep watch."

"The others, based on three-man squads, will expand the search range using this as a base point."

After reporting the work, they continued to search the surrounding situation.

They ensured that all drug dealers in the back mountain had been wiped out.

The team also began to disperse rapidly.

The squads left to guard also hid near the drug dealers' residences nearby.

Ren Amamiya, who had been watching from the tree branch, was not surprised by this result.

How could a group of amateur drug-worms be the opponents of a group of well-trained professional cleanup troops?

Not to mention that the equipment was not on the same level.

A group of drug dealers holding small pistols against a group of cleanup troops with heavy firepower—anyone could guess who won.

However, Ren Amamiya was not in a hurry to go down.

Instead, he took out his diary on the tree branch to record.

"Just as I imagined, a group of amateur drug-worms is indeed no match for the official cleanup team."

"Pistols are indeed no match for submachine guns."

"Plus, the special forces were fully equipped and used flashbangs directly against the hiding drug dealers."

"How could there be any resistance?"

The operation to wipe out the drug-worms ended here.

However, the curiosity about the situation of the evil spirits had not ended.

With a flash of fire, Ren Amamiya landed on the ground.

The illusion he created meant that the special forces hiding around the drug-making laboratory did not notice that someone was there.

Ren Amamiya walked into the drug-making laboratory.

Along the way, the ground was covered with corpses, all of them dead with their eyes wide open in resentment.

But for the drug-worms, this was the best outcome.

No one would care whether they could close their eyes in peace.

Ren Amamiya walked toward the depths of the laboratory.

An area was isolated by thick plastic sheets.

If one didn't destroy the plastic sheets, there was no way to enter.

However, this was not a problem.

He habitually took out gloves from the Source Castle, put them on, and then pressed his hand against the plastic sheet.

He created a spiritual door, pushed it open, and entered directly without damaging the plastic sheet.

The situation inside also opened Ren Amamiya’s eyes.

Dozens of corpses were placed on experimental tables; some had completely rotted, while others remained fresh.

This scene was simply too impactful.

Ren Amamiya couldn't help but feel a strong sense of nausea.

Sure enough, the scene here was not suitable for any girl to see.

It was fortunate that he had already used the gray fog to isolate the surrounding air; otherwise, smelling that stench, he might really have vomited up yesterday's dinner.

The corpses on the experimental tables included both men and women, old people, and even children.

...Those drug-worms were indeed devoid of humanity.

Old people, women, and men might all use drugs, but children shouldn't.

Especially the corpse of a child who looked only six or seven years old—there absolutely shouldn't be one.

People on a small island know each other's roots and bottoms, especially children; if a child went missing, their parents should be looking for them.

But Ren Amamiya had not seen any missing person notices in the residential area.

It wasn't that they didn't want to look, but that they had looked, yet were still controlled.

Ren Amamiya could clearly perceive that besides the child's corpse, four other corpses in this laboratory possessed very strong resentment.

Was an entire family controlled?

Such a situation was truly distressing.

Ren Amamiya looked around the laboratory; next to the corpses on each experimental table were some numerical markings and some material ratios.

This let him know what those drug-worms were actually doing.

Those guys were using living people to develop new types of drugs.

Truly devoid of humanity.

Those drug-worms deserved to die.

Although he wanted to help, Ren Amamiya did not have the ability to assist.

Especially since these dead people had already turned into evil spirits.

This could not be changed without the power to reverse time.

However, Ren Amamiya still intended to help.

Sending those evil spirits on their final journey—perhaps that was the only thing he could do.
