The Author's POV

Chapter 267

"Commander, the car has stopped." The driver of the car alerted. "How should I proceed?"

Almost a kilometer away from the entrance of the Monolith, the driver saw the car behind them swerve towards the right before coming to a halt.

Having never taken his eyes off of the vehicle behind him, Luther raised his hand slightly and ordered for the car to stop as well.

"Stop the car, and tell the unit in the other car to get out as well."

"Understood."

'”Screeech.

Pressing onto the break, the car came to a halt. In front of them, not far from where they were, another vehicle came to a halt.

"Get out."

Opening the doors of the car, Luther jumped off of the vehicle. Behind him, five other people came out, including the 7th unit captain, Isaac.

"Hurry up."

Not far from them, Luther gestured for the other unit in the distance to hurry up. Before long, there were a total of ten people behind Luther.

Turning around and looking at all of the unit members present, Luther warned.

"The suspect may try to use bombs, so try your best to spread out and surround the car."

Having received brief reports about subject 876, the commander knew that his strength was in the range and that he somehow got his hands on explosives.

Luther wasn't worried about 876's strength. He himself was ranked. He could make quick work of 876.

...his only worry was the bombs.

If he was hit directly by them, even though he won't die, he'd still get injured. Less needs to be said about the other people present.

They were all weaker than him.

Thus, In order to minimize the casualties from the bombs, spreading out the soldiers was a must.

"Commander?"

Stopping a couple of meters away from the vehicle, Isaac looked at the commander who looked back and nodded back.

"Understood." Stepping forward, Isaac shouted. "Subject 876, we know that you're in there. Get out of the car and surrender."

"..."

Waiting for a couple of minutes, Isaac was met with no response.

"Figured." Isaac shook his head, before looking at Luther and asking. "Commander, how should we proceed."

Squinting, Luther carefully looked at the vehicle. Waving his hand, a blue translucent shield appeared before him. In his right hand was a large metal mace.

Pointing towards the forest, he looked towards the other unit and ordered.

"Send someone to search the forest, we can't exclude the possibility that 876 has already escaped into the forest."

"Roger."

Five people unanimously shouted before running into the forest behind the car.

'”Rustle! '”Rustle!

"Get behind me."

With the shield before him, Luther gestured the 7th unit to follow him and slowly walked towards the vehicle. Because of the threat of the bombs, Commander Luther decided to approach this prudently.

'”Clank!

Approaching the car, Luther carefully opened the door. Glancing at his other members, he nudged his head slightly.

'”Clank! '”Clank! '”Clank!

Instantaneously, everyone moved around the vehicle and opened the other doors of the car with their weapons raised.

"..."

Upon opening the door, everyone braced themselves for an attack, but contrary to their expectations, they were met with deathly silence.

Exchanging glances with each other, everyone looked inside of the vehicle. Because the glasses were tinted, they were only able to see what was inside of the vehicle only upon opening the doors.

Entering the car and looking around, a confused look appeared on Isaac's face.

"Commander, the suspect is not in the car. It's possible that he escaped."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive sir" Glancing around the car, he briefly said. "but there seem to be the other unit members here, each passed out."

"Are they dead?"

Approaching one of the people in the car, Isaac placed his finger on his neck. Upon noticing a pulse, he responded.

"Negative."
