18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 96

With caution etched in their every move, Jasper and Stella quietly approached the outskirts of Unity Village.

Rather than directly approaching, Jasper opted to circle the perimeter at a safe distance before leading Stella into a nearby office building. From there, he pulled out a pair of binoculars to survey the scene.

His focus wasn't on the main gate, but on the towering buildings within the village, "There are lookouts for counter-surveillance."

Stella was taken aback. No wonder so many people died in her past life and paid a hefty price just to eradicate The Chaos. It turned out that the leaders weren't just ordinary villains.

When it came to surveillance, Jasper was undoubtedly a professional.

He identified a few suspicious lookout points, skillfully avoiding them while keeping an eye on the main entrance. When Jasper remained silent and unmoving for a while, Stella's curiosity got the better of her, "What are you looking at?" "Observing their conversations."

"You can read lips?"

"A bit."

Stella covered her mouth, relieved that she hadn't spoken ill of him before.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt a chill running down her spine.

All special forces operatives were invariably trained for special operations and required to master a variety of skills. Lip reading was just the tip of the iceberg; many were even experts in micro-expression analysis.

Otherwise, how could they make an accurate judgment of whether to shoot to save a hostage when facing ruthless criminals?

At this moment, Stella felt a shiver run down her spine, a chill that went straight to her head.

Could she keep any secrets from him?

Noticing her stiffness, Jasper lowered his binoculars, "What's wrong?"

"You..." Stella's mind was a bit sluggish, "What did they say?"

"Entry requires a pass and a secret code."

"What secret code?"

"I'm not quite sure about that. I'll have to analyze it later."
