Chapter 395 Section 391 - New Instruction

"...No villagers found, they may be detained elsewhere...we need support..."

Tanya Ilyin Alexandrovna, acting as the liaison officer, reported the latest situation to the Tunguska Regional Police Headquarters.

The cleanup team of Squad 04 spent over two hours thoroughly searching the village of Grafki, inside and out, even turning over the ruins.

Regrettably, Adrian and his colleagues didn't find any survivors, only seventeen bodies; nearly half of them lay outside the village, the very people who had attempted to ambush the Mobile Base Vehicle. Fortunately, Mouri Misono and the Neanderthal Chief Bassan had joined forces to intercept them, preventing a successful attack.

The heads of three of the bodies within the village were nowhere to be found, leaving only splatters of blood and flesh, suggesting they may have chosen suicide due to severe injuries and the inability to escape.

Others had not witnessed such a gruesome method of suicide before, but Chen Fei had seen it with his own eyes, hence he speculated in this direction.

In addition to railgun weapons and directed-energy weapons, over a dozen types of conventional firearms such as anti-tank missiles, large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, and heavy sniper rifles were discovered. Some had been used, while others had not yet been deployed in combat. Once ability users were on alert, conventional firearms often posed little direct threat.

Of course, exclusions like the 152, which is a cheat-code, map-level artillery piece, cannot be overlooked; even Earth Order or Class A strong individuals, if hit at close range, would be severely injured if not killed.

The Mobile Base Vehicle slowly drove into the village to guard the scene and wait for support personnel from the Tunguska Police.

Although the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee could mobilize a considerable number of ability users, matching and even surpassing some of the mid-sized sovereign powers in comprehensive combat ability, they inherently lacked in intelligence work.

After all, the committee's adversaries were mutants lacking intelligence, negating the need for a human intelligence department entirely.

Now, with the sudden appearance of the human-predominant "Water Bear" organization, they had to rely on the intelligence channels of various sovereign powers.

The ambush on the "Bear Hunting Special Operations Division" special action squad of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee in Grafki Village was very likely orchestrated by the Water Bear organization according to intelligence experts from all sides. This organization not only secretly breeds and proliferates highly aggressive mutants, but it also seems to remain deeply hidden, unaffected by the establishment of the "Bear Hunting Special Operations Division" and the assistance of multiple sovereign powers. Instead, by continually releasing false information and setting ambush traps, the organization has kept the conflict between the two parties intense and ongoing.

This shows that their planning and operational capabilities are far beyond those of ordinary forces, so the establishment of the targeted action department, the "Bear Hunting Special Operations Division," by the Global United Defense Committee Members was clearly a timely and wise move.

So from the very beginning, when they released the news to collect prehistoric biological specimens from the tundra, it was a trap targeting Adrian and his team, almost waiting for the Mobile Base Vehicle to walk right into their net in Grafki Village.

Fortunately, the team leader, First Rank fire mage Adrian Benjamin, was not careless. Although Squad 04 was caught off guard, they quickly stabilized their ranks and succeeded in the counterattack, driving off the ambushers who left behind more than a dozen bodies before the survivors fled in disarray.@@@@

After the female liaison officer Tanya reported to her superiors, it wasn't until the next morning that personnel from the Tunguska Police reached the scene.

Apart from a team of police vehicles flashing their lights, there were more than a dozen armored vehicles and hundreds of fully armed soldiers. The local garrison of the Tunguska Region had also sent a team to assist the police in placing the entire village under martial law. At the same time, they searched for the missing villagers.

It was not until the evening of the third day that the police finally found the missing villagers of Grafki Village, trapped inside a cabin in the middle of the forest. The massive cabin with no doors or windows clearly bore the traces of Wood System Spells, with only slivers of daylight acting as ventilation.

If the police hadn't found this place in time, the villagers, with little food and water, might have frozen or starved to death.

As for how they ended up here, no one could say for sure, as if they woke up to find themselves in this cabin. Only two or three dim lights barely allowed them to find the food, water, and blankets left in the house, and it was these items that the villagers had relied on to hold out until now.

Why fatten her up so much? Because when the subcutaneous fat fills out, the skin surface area increases, and the pain is exquisite!!

"You... you..."

Nicole von Sasha, an A-grade Psychic Ability User, turned pale at the horrifying thoughts that hit her like a wave, pointing at Chen Fei, speechless.

Mind Reading Technique is indeed a great thing, but damn, you've got to choose who to read!

"What's wrong, Nicole?"

Rossi, with a sour face, noticed the abnormal reaction of the woman next to him.

"Demon!!!"

The blond little sister finally couldn't hold it in anymore and screamed.

"Huh?"

Adrian, who stood at the very front of the group, looked bewilderedly at the clearly distressed woman, then turned back to look at the members of Squad 04.

Chen Fei wore an innocent face, while the Little Bird on his shoulder cocked its head.

"Tweet?"

This kind of psychic confrontation was invisible to the naked eye; despite faces being known, hearts remained a mystery, making it impossible to discern the truth.

After exchanging glances, Liaison Officer Rossi and Adrian frowned and said to the female A-grade Psychic Ability User accompanying them, "Nicole, what's the matter with you? Maybe you should rest a bit. Adrian, you and the rest come with me to the conference room."

An entire floor of the hotel had been booked, including a small conference room.

A true expert in psychology, A-grade Psychic Ability User Nicole von Sasha quickly suppressed her emotional turbulence, glaring resentfully at Chen Fei from Squad 04. She spoke in a normal tone, "I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Alright then, let's focus on the important matters at hand!"

Liaison Officer Rossi's gaze shifted towards the Tunguska Police female liaison officer at the back of Squad 04, mustering a faint smile.

"Officer Tanya, I'm Rossi, the liaison in charge of Adrian and his team. Please join us as well for our confidential meeting."

The local police representative was essential. The Bear Hunting Special Operations Division needed real local intelligence channels to carry out operations smoothly, and the current situation demanded full support from the local officer, so building a good relationship was a necessary prerequisite.

Tanya Ilyin Alexandrovna, who was originally unsure how to approach the situation, quickly nodded, "Oh, oh, okay, Mr. Rossi."

Lucky me, to sit in on these high-level ability users' confidential meetings, there's bound to be extraordinary information!
