King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 581 - 559: Perilous Contest

Joe Ga wouldn't slide down to pursue before Team A was in place...

Ayu's detector had limited detection range, and without being 100% sure, Joe Ga chose to search upwards.

After locating the staircase, he rushed up for a quick search...

On the fourth floor, Joe Ga and his team found an even larger 'bomb lab' with a large quantity of unused plastic explosives.

This discovery gave Joe Ga and his team a scare; if the enemy had discovered them earlier and simply inserted a blaster, they all could have been blown to the sky.

Quickly judging this to be the manufacturing site for the dirty bomb, Joe Ga pulled out a Geiger counter and, upon hearing its ticking sound, decisively ordered everyone to put on a radiation suit and a gas mask.

"This is C1, a suspected dirty bomb manufacturing site has been discovered. Everyone, speed up the process. We will continue searching upwards."

"The second floor is secure, this is B1. We've located the position and are going down to pursue."

"This is A1. We have found a group of hostages with bombs on them, no trace of Madeline has been found.

Our bomb disposal expert will stay behind to rescue the hostages, the others will continue the search."

As soon as Joe Ga heard there were hostages and bombs downstairs, he was even less willing to go down.

Having found the key location, Joe Ga decisively ordered, "Dragon Gecko, Elephant, and Devil Bird continue searching upwards. King Kong and I will stay here.

Damn it, there's at least 500 kilograms of explosives here; we can't have any accidents."

Karman didn't speak this time, and decisively obeyed the order to search upwards...

After watching them leave, Joe Ga had Ayu hold a flashlight for lighting, and then he himself took the compact Geiger counter and walked around the room.

There were three large, arc-based iron racks in the room, and the 'click-clack' sound of the Geiger counter as it approached them made Joe Ga's scalp tingle.

The value of 38uGy/h displayed on the counter theoretically should still be within safe standards.

Joe Ga stiffened his scalp and walked a circle around the three iron racks, took photos of the numbers on the Geiger counter to prove there had been radiation material here before, and then signaled to Ayu, "King Kong, let's get away from here, shit, I still want to have a healthy child someday..."

Ayu didn't quite understand why her boss was so nervous. She glanced back at the plastic explosives and said worriedly, "Boss, what about these things?"

Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "Leave them be, we just watch from afar. Take out anyone unfamiliar who gets close."

As he spoke, Joe Ga sneezed inexplicably, and then he decisively quickened his pace to leave, only stopping once he got to the other end of the corridor outside the room where the Geiger counter stopped ticking. "King Kong, we must take a bath when we get back, wash three times, no, five times.

FUCK, I'm kind of regretting coming here..."

Just as Joe Ga was vexed, the communicator kept transmitting battle reports…

"The fifth floor is secure! "

"The sixth floor is secure!"

"Hostage bombs have been defused, no trace of Madeline discovered, continuing the search..."

......

......

"A body was found on the ninth floor, shot in the head, it's Devil Bird's armor-piercing bullet, most likely Basavich. From this position, he could see the small building we are in.

Oh shit, there's radioactive material on the guy's body..."

A few minutes later, when Karman and the others had searched the upper floors and regrouped with Joe Ga on the fourth floor, they decisively went downstairs to leave the building.

For these non-professionals, the place was too dangerous, even more than a gunfight!

The ticking of the Geiger counter had them on edge!

As Joe Ga and his team reached the main entrance on the first floor, Antar's voice suddenly came over the communicator...

"Attention, a woman riding an off-road motorcycle has just sped out from the north side of the building, looks like it's Madeline, stop her..."

As Joe Ga, who was taking off his radiation suit, rushed to the corner of the building with his gun, ready to shoot swiftly.

Since they needed to capture her alive, Joe Ga didn't shoot at the person.

Several bullets hit the motorcycle's body, then a ricochet bullet hit the woman's thigh, causing the motorcycle to roll over.

Seeing the helmeted female rider thrown out like a rag doll, then crashing heavily to the ground, Joe Ga winced and, while loudly reporting his position, sprinted towards Madeline...

She better not be dead from the fall; that would diminish the gains of his operation!

As Joe Ga sprinted, two British Soldiers ran out from Madeline's location.

They were closer to her than Joe Ga, and obviously more urgent...

As they were about to reach Madeline, she struggled to sit up, took off her helmet revealing blond hair and a bitter smile, and then the explosion happened...

The two British Soldiers were closer to the blast and were hit squarely by the shockwave, thrown backward to the ground without a sound.

Joe Ga, who was further away, felt as if someone had pushed him from behind at the moment of the explosion and then was heavily pinned to the ground.

Then there was a series of crackling noises as the debris from the explosion struck around them, causing Joe Ga and the figure on his back to grunt continuously.

After the explosion had passed, Joe Ga struggled to turn his body and, looking at Dorian who was howling on top of him, he said worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Dorian first nodded, then shook his head and said, "Boss, my butt is numb, I think I got blast injury. If I can't fight anymore, my salary won't go down, right?"

As Joe Ga saw Dorian still had the mood to talk nonsense, he knew this guy was fine. The moment his heart relaxed, Joe Ga felt a sharp pain in his left hand.

When he pulled his hand out from underneath him, he discovered that the shape of his left hand's ring and little finger was very suspicious…

After tentatively touching it, Joe Ga felt an indescribable sadness.

The first time he was 'saved' by Dorian, he had broken a rib, and now, two fingers too.

Was this damn guy his guardian angel or a jinx?

With the help of Karman and the medic Devil Bird, who arrived later, to move Dorian away, Joe Ga held up his injured hand and saw a slender piece of rebar sticking out of Dorian's buttocks.

Suppressing the urge to hammer the rebar further in with a sledgehammer, Joe Ga slapped Dorian's uninjured buttock, causing him to let out a scream, then said to medic Devil Bird, "Check him first..."

This time, medic Devil Bird didn't follow Joe Ga's orders; he glanced at the shock detectors on both of their bodies, then grabbed Joe Ga's left hand and forcefully realigned it...

"Ah..."

After setting the bones, medic Devil Bird, amidst Joe's screams, clamped the finger with two small pieces of wood and wrapped it with several layers of gauze, then tossed down a roll of tape and said, "Bandage it yourself," before rushing toward the two fallen SAS members.

Watching medic Devil Bird carefully turn the bodies of the two team members, he checked them and began to call for backup while administering emergency aid...

Joe Ga stretched out a hand to greet 'Knight' and 'Hatchet', who had run out, and said with a wry smile, "Set up cover, I'll have people send vehicles in."

The faces of 'Knight' and 'Hatchet' looked terrible. Madeline had slipped away right under their noses, and now two lives hung in the balance.

This situation filled these super elites with anger...

However, their professionalism was not in doubt; without needing any further orders, a few team members began to establish a defensive perimeter around the wounded.

Two medics ran to join medic Devil Bird and started assisting with the emergency aid.

Joe Ga, supporting the unlucky Dorian with difficulty, stood up and signaled Ayu to hold this jinxed guy, then he wrapped his realigned fingers with tape before looking at 'Knight' and asking, "What happened?"

'Knight' helplessly shook his head and replied, "There were over a dozen hostages in the basement; they were all strapped with explosives, and we were delayed by a few minutes.

There are several exits from the basement, plus one tunnel leading elsewhere.

We got held up for another two minutes in the tunnel, and that's when Madeline found her chance."

As 'Knight' spoke, SAS bomb disposal and two team members were escorting over a dozen dirty and disheveled European and American hostages towards them.

'Knight' glanced at the hostages, then shook his head in distress, and said to the bomb disposal tech, "Leave this to me, you go to the blast center to collect some genetic samples; we need to confirm the identities of the deceased."

Saying this, 'Knight' watched his own medics roaring in anger, violently pounding the ground beside them, then kicked a nearby wall while cursing, "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK..."

Joe Ga saw medic Devil Bird stand up and shake his head at him; knowing they had lost one, he said somewhat despondently, "Nothing we can do, who would have thought that Madeline would blow herself up?

Fortunately, we had some success upstairs, though this 'success' might not be to your liking."

As he said this, Joe Ga suddenly paused, then looked at 'Knight' and asked, "Madeline was an outstanding spy trained by British Intelligence, right?"

'Knight' nodded in response and said, "Sir, although she was trained by British Intelligence, she defected."

Joe Ga frowned and waved his hand saying, "I'm not talking about that; what I mean is, since when do British spies have the courage to prefer self-detonation over capture?

She should know your operational habits; she should understand that she needs to be captured alive. How could such a person blow themselves up..."

As he spoke, Joe Ga locked eyes with 'Knight', then turned to look at the hostages...

Soon, a black-haired woman holding her right arm with her left hand caught Joe Ga's attention.

"I've shot her before; a look at the wound will tell..."

The black-haired woman showed no unusual reaction to Joe Ga's words, as if she didn't understand what he was saying. Her face, stained with tears and dust from surviving the ordeal, leaned on the back of a man, crying incessantly.

Joe Ga, with a sinister smile, drew his 'Super Jaguar' and pointed it at the black-haired woman. Observing her indifference, Joe Ga decisively pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit the woman's thigh amidst her incredulous gaze, and as she sat down in agony amid screams from the surrounding hostages, she suddenly curled up into a ball, clutching her thigh and moaning in extreme pain.

'Knight', upon seeing this, raised his gun to control the agitated hostages, motioning to those around him to tie them all up, and then looked at Joe Ga asking, "How could you be sure...?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and replied, "With all my suspicions, she didn't react; anyone with such good psychological quality wouldn't be crying so hard."

'Knight' looked at the black-haired woman, now screaming in pain, and incredulously said, "Just because of this, you shot her?"

Joe Ga held up his 'Super Jaguar' and said with a smile, "The bullets in this gun are special; it won't kill, but it will hurt for a while.

I think it's the right call; I've shot her before. She probably couldn't ride the motorcycle away because of her arm injury, which is why she chose to blend in with the hostages.

There was no light in the basement, and the hostages probably didn't know how many people were around them.

Of course, I'm just guessing, and even if I'm wrong, I just apologize to her!

I'm a mercenary, after all, and occasional mistakes are something everyone can forgive, right?"

'Knight' looked at Joe Ga as if seeing a ghost...
