CHAPTER 1481: CHAPTER 1,462: JUST CAPTURE THEM ALIVE.

Gao Yang had never anticipated a battle like this before, nor had he ever felt so anxious about a fight.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Gao Yang had to acknowledge that the mysterious team that took down Andre indeed put a significant psychological pressure on him.

The eight people discovered by Shava might not necessarily be that mysterious team, but conversely, they could very well be members of that team. Gao Yang’s biggest worry wasn’t encountering those formidable guys, but his current finding turning out to be another false hope.

In line with his usual habits, since he was preparing for a fight, Gao Yang should have changed into tactical gear convenient for combat, but this time was different; he didn’t put on tactical gear but rather wore sports clothes.

Going out in broad daylight to a chaotic and bustling district to eliminate some people, without the ability to park the car downstairs and directly storm in, wearing tactical gear would be akin to alerting others, so the attack must be a disguised one.

Gao Yang was still anxiously waiting for news when finally, Number Thirteen called him.

"I found them, but I can’t confirm these people are Djo’s subordinates. They are eight people living in two separate rooms and rarely go out. I need a chance to overhear their conversations or find other direct evidence."

Gao Yang knew it was unlikely to confirm those individuals’ identities immediately, yet he couldn’t help but feel impatient. He said deeply: "How long do you need, and can you certainly find out their origins?"

"The time frame is uncertain, but if I have enough time, I’ll certainly find out their origins. Also, let Yake come and help me; maybe together we can be faster."

Gao Yang pondered for a moment and then said deeply: "Alright, continue investigating. I’ll send Yake over immediately. Besides, what’s your judgment on how likely those people are Djo’s subordinates?"

Number Thirteen chuckled softly and then calmly said: "You are eager to find Djo’s people right now, so everyone looks like Djo’s subordinates to you. To be frank, the likelihood of these people being Djo’s subordinates isn’t high; they only match some characteristics, but don’t forget, these traits don’t really signify anything."

Djo’s subordinates wouldn’t have Djo’s name written on their faces, so although people are found, their identities need confirmation. After all, Gao Yang couldn’t just kill any bunch of foreign people he encounters.

Gao Yang took a breath and said: "Alright, let’s act after you have confirmed their identities."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang felt a bit agitated and restless. The waiting period is the longest, and waiting without a clear timetable is even more torturous.

Just as Gao Yang was feeling irritable, Pavlovich, dressed like a regular old man, walked into his room, nodded his head, and loudly asked: "Can we act now?"

Gao Yang shook his head and replied: "Not yet, we need to wait for identity confirmation."

Pavlovich impatiently expressed: "How troublesome, doesn’t matter if they are or not, just take them out first. It’s not too late to find evidence after they’re eliminated; if they are Djo’s, all is good; if not, well, it doesn’t matter, they don’t look like good folks anyway."

Gao Yang smiled wryly and said: "Buddy, when you guys act recklessly, the KGB cleans up the mess. When we act recklessly, what does it count as?"

Pavlovich shrugged his shoulders and loudly proposed: "Just to clarify, I’m not rash, but I suggest capturing all of them alive first; once they’re caught we can interrogate them slowly."

Gao Yang hesitantly said: "Capture them all alive? Impossible, isn’t that a rash act? Please, capturing alive is much harder than eliminating them, and with unclear intelligence now, going directly for capture is too risky."

Pavlovich laughed and confessed: "Honestly, we are indeed very skilled at capturing people alive, extremely skilled, you don’t have to worry about the risks; we’ll handle it ourselves, and I promise you’ll have eight live ones to interrogate slowly. If they are Djo’s people, everything will proceed smoothly; if not, just let them go."

Gao Yang stood up, appearing puzzled, and asked: "It’s not that, I’m very curious, where does your confidence come from to capture eight people alive? If they are ordinary folks, it’s hardly difficult, but capturing them has no purpose. If they are indeed Djo’s people, wanting to capture them alive isn’t simple. You have twelve people, capturing eight live ones, buddy, this isn’t something that can be guaranteed just with some expertise. Do you have a secret weapon or something?"

Pavlovich curled his lips and said: "No secret weapon, but it does require using some special items, you know about nerve agents, right? Strong anesthesia or the like, simple stuff."

Gao Yang suddenly realized and exclaimed: "F**k! I know what you’re talking about, the gas used by Alpha during the Moscow Theater hostage incident!"

Pavlovich shook his head and replied: "It’s not gas, it’s an anesthetic, rapidly rendering one completely incapacitated. Um, I followed up on that event later, the work done was too awful, too rough."

At least one hundred twenty-nine people died due to their own anesthetic agents; the job couldn’t have been rougher. However, the Russian Special Forces have always executed tasks with simplicity and brutality.

Gao Yang clapped his hands loudly and said: "This is indeed simple and effective. I need these people alive, regardless of whether they are Djo’s people or not, so do you have this stuff on hand?"

Pavlovich laughed and declared: "I don’t have it, but Ukraine does. This stuff has been used since Soviet times, it’s just unknown to outsiders. The formula hasn’t changed since then. Don’t you have connections with many high-level officials in Ukraine? Just ask them; there is plenty of this stuff, certainly within intelligence units and also with the military’s Special Forces."

Gao Yang clapped his hands loudly and said: "Wait, I’ll ask right away. As long as we have this stuff, we’ll use it."

Gao Yang called Hagel in Pavlovich’s presence, and as soon as Hagel answered, he hurriedly said: "Can you get me some nerve agents? The kind the Russians used in the Moscow Theater hostage crisis?"

"Sure."

"Can you get me some?"

"Alright."

"I urgently need them; get them to me as soon as possible, the sooner, the better!"

"Okay!"

Gao Yang felt greatly assured, and after Hagel agreed promptly, he smiled and said: "Wait a moment, let me check where’s most convenient to get some, this will be quick, I’ll let you know soon how to get it."

Gao Yang hung up the phone and waited for nearly two minutes when Hagel called back and cheerfully said: "Alright, you can go get it now, or should I have someone send it to you?"

Gao Yang paused for a moment and then quickly said: "I’ll go get it. Also, prepare the complementary tools for using this stuff. Thanks." (To be continued.
