Chapter 1483: 1,464th Chapter: Waiting for the Hare

Gao Yang turned his head away and ran out, Eileen leaned forward but only saw the back of Gao Yang as he turned away.

Eileen stood there, absent-mindedly watching Gao Yang’s back, sighed helplessly and then quickly followed him.

Eileen didn’t throw away the cheap and rough bear plush in her hand. On the contrary, she held it tightly.

The plush was small, easy to grasp with one hand. Eileen held her little bear tightly in her left hand, while her right hand reached into her pocket to cover the grip of her gun.

The old man reached out and grabbed the neck of the sentry, hooked a leg, and sharply struck the sentry’s neck with his right hand, cleanly and precisely knocking him to the ground.

As soon as the sentry fell, a few old men near the apartment entrance rushed in with a whoosh.

Another old man rushed over, and together with the one who acted, they dragged the sentry into the apartment. The whole process was swift and silent, except for Gao Yang’s side, which seemed a bit upset, while those old men were so quiet it was as if they were entering their own home, without even attracting attention from nearby people.

The apartment was old and worn, naturally without any security guards watching the door. Gao Yang rushed into the apartment hallway only to see two old men carrying the sentry and waving at him.

Gao Yang walked over, and an old man with an unhappy face said, “What are you doing here? Do you have any protective measures? Don’t come and add to the trouble.”

Gao Yang heaved a sigh and also stood in the hallway. At this moment, Eileen also came in. Gao Yang waved at Eileen and said, “Wait here.”

Eileen looked very calm. Gao Yang noticed Eileen’s hand still clutching the little bear, so he naturally turned his head away. Eileen, just as naturally, took her sports backpack from behind and put the little bear into it.

An old man from the Black Demons reached out and felt the sentry’s neck, then whispered, “Not dead.”

“Give him another one.”

“No need, we’ll interrogate him soon.”

After the two old men quickly exchanged a few words, one of them looked at his watch and then said, “Wait another two minutes.”

Gao Yang was eager to go up and see how the Black Demons worked, but he didn’t have a gas mask.

Actually, even with a gas mask, it’s ineffective against the anesthetic gas used by the Black Demons. It must be that kind of completely sealed respirator with a canister to block the anesthetic gas, so Gao Yang could only stay below and wait for the Black Demons to finish before going up.

After two and a half minutes, Gao Yang heard Pavlovich loudly saying in his earphone, “Alright, come up.”

Gao Yang dashed up quickly.

Pavlovich was standing by a doorway, gesturing for Gao Yang to stop, and said in a low voice, “Wait, once it’s ventilated, you can go in.”

Four people arrived behind Gao Yang, taking out small gas masks with a very small canister that provides a maximum of ten minutes of breathing air.

An old man brushed past Gao Yang impatiently, saying, “Don’t block the way!”

After putting on the gas mask, the old man entered the room. Pavlovich loudly said, “Find everything, don’t let them die.”

Gao Yang felt slightly dizzy, knowing that the anesthetic gas in the room was starting to leak out, so he frowned and said, “Am I alright here?”

Pavlovich put the gas mask in his hand onto his face and then muffledly said, “Not a single one missing, they’re all here. I have to ventilate for them; otherwise, they’ll suffocate themselves. Wait another three minutes before going in.”

Pavlovich turned and went back in. Gao Yang then turned around and went downstairs, returning to the hallway with Eileen. He then said into the walkie-talkie, “Leonard, Shadow, come over and check the surroundings, everyone else stay put.”

Gao Yang patiently waited in the hallway for three minutes. Just as Yake and Number Thirteen arrived, he then returned to the upper floor with them. Meanwhile, the two old men who had been watching the sentry in the hallway lifted their captive and followed upstairs.

The door was wide open, and so were all the windows. The old men from the Black Demons had already taken off their gas masks, and three people were lying haphazardly on the floor.

The apartment room was small, with only one bedroom and a restroom. Inside, there was a large bed, a simple table, and two chairs. There was no other furniture, just three pads and three sleeping bags on the floor, along with four large bags.

The positions of the people lying on the floor varied. Pavlovich squatted next to an unconscious person and said to Gao Yang, “They don’t have phones on them, but they have walkie-talkies. They also have guns, and in the bags, there are guns and body armor, ammunition — all combat-related items.”

Gao Yang exhaled with relief, saying, “Looks like we got the right place, check the other room.”

Pavlovich whispered, “It looks the same, but we are still searching.”

At that moment, an old man came out from the next room holding a phone and said, “Found a phone.”

Pavlovich pointed at Gao Yang and loudly said, “Give it to him, just one phone?”

“Yes, only one.”

The two old men, carrying the sentry they knocked out, walked into the room. Pavlovich said, “Alright, let’s close the door, shut it.”

Eileen was checking the items in the large bags. After inspecting four large bags, she looked up and said, “Boss, four M4s, one Remington 870.”

Pavlovich said, “Three P226 pistols.”

The old man who placed the sentry on the ground pulled out a P226 and said, “Four.”

Gao Yang gave the phone to Yake and whispered, “Check the phone, Tyrannosaurus, see what kind of electronic equipment they have, that’s key.”

After finishing, Gao Yang asked the two who dealt with the sentry, “What about the phone on him.”

An old man handed the cellphone the sentry was holding to him. Gao Yang took it and gave it to Number Thirteen, who glanced at it and then said, “No SIM card, this is an empty phone.”

At that moment, Eileen pulled out a storage box from a large bag, took a look, and loudly said, “Night vision device, standard stuff, no other electronic equipment, looks like they’re not advanced enough.”

Gao Yang exhaled and said, “Definitely not that mysterious unit, look for things that can confirm their identity.”

Pavlovich stood up, pointed at the person he was guarding just now, and said, “The phone was found on him, the people here absolutely had no chance to send out any signal. We can wait here and see if anyone comes, interrogation can also be done here, your decision.”

“Interrogate them here.”

After a quick exchange of opinions, Gao Yang immediately made a decision based on the situation on-site, then said into the walkie-talkie, “Everyone stay alert, come over in batches, keep it low-profile, and wait to see if anyone comes knocking.”
