18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 466

By the time Stella and her crew rushed to the scene, they saw about a dozen soldiers storming in like a whirlwind, quickly taking control of the situation.

"Darn, didn't even get a chance to show off," Bran grumbled, "I was hoping to earn some stripes today."

Stella, trying not to laugh, said, "You did your part at the hospital. Maybe you can ask Justice for a little reward later."

The hospital? Bran nearly face-palmed.

Oh well, it's not embarrassing in front of his sister and brother-in-law.

Monkey's eyes lit up as if greased. "Sis, do we get rewards for making a mark?"

"Not sure, but I think so."

"Great, I'll do the talking later, aim for a bit of glory and a prize."

With his gift of gab, he should manage just fine.

Over a hundred pirates, even when caught red-handed, still refused to confess, defiantly shouting, "We're civilians! What right do you have to treat us this way?"

This wasn't their first attempt to infiltrate the base by pretending to be compatriots, but the scale this time was unprecedented. Once inside, they would extend their black hands towards the unsuspecting survivors.

This time it was an organized pirate gang, with murder and looting on their minds. They had come prepared, taking advantage of the changing weather at sea-a cold-blooded act devoid of humanity.

The base had an interrogation department that wouldn't let them get away with their lies.

Justice had no interest in debating with them and ordered everyone to be detained, to be interrogated by the relevant departments the next day.

Upon seeing Stella and Jasper arrive, he immediately asked, "How'd it go on your end?"

"Brutal," Stella said bluntly. "Lucky we found out in time, or not only would our supplies have been at risk, but even the medical staff might not have been spared."

Same skin, same language. They had gathered some intel when the ship docked, but they hadn't anticipated such a comprehensive plan from the enemy.

If they had succeeded, it would have spelled disaster for the base.
