Chapter 1020
Blades were drawn in an instant, and the two sides clashed violently.
At this range, firearms were useless; it was all about speed and brute strength. Before a gun could even be raised, it would be kicked out of hand.
Fortunately, Mira and her companions were incredibly skilled fighters, and the dozens of special forces operatives were equally formidable.
Master Ellis, along with Mira and Owen, dropped enemies with a single kick each, immediately following up by spraying a powerful sedative straight into their faces. If the distance was right, they didn’t even need to kick-they just sprayed them directly.
Because it was a chaotic melee, the spray couldn’t be used indiscriminately; they had to carefully aim at the enemy’s faces to avoid friendly fire.
The trio each had a soldier trailing them, tasked specifically with finishing off the fallen enemies.
In just a few minutes, all hundred-plus combatants were eliminated.
On Mira’s side, there were zero fatalities, though three or four soldiers had sustained minor injuries. Mira handed them specialized coagulant and fresh bandages.
Everyone had training in field medicine, and with their comrades helping, the wounds were quickly bound.
“What kind of weapon were you using just now? It’s incredibly effective p>
York asked.
“It’s a compact, military-grade knockout spray p>
Because they had brought a limited supply-each person was only allowed one large suitcase through customs-they hadn’t been able to pack much.
Any more luggage would have aroused suspicion.
They gave one set to Hank Whitlock, leaving just enough for the three of them to
use.
Luckily, the formula was highly concentrated; a single mist was enough to drop a man instantly.
As the vanguard moved toward the hospital entrance, the EOD team’s equipment suddenly beeped. “There’s a bomb behind the door p>
“Those lunatics p>
York ground out through his teeth.
If the bomb at the main door detonated, it wouldn’t just kill Mira’s team; it would also cause catastrophic damage to the people and equipment inside the hospital.
“Do we detonate it p>
York looked at Master Ellis.
He nodded. “If this door is rigged, the others will be too. We split up and detonate them simultaneously p>
“But we only have a few dozen people. If we divide our forces, they could easily pick us off one by one p>
Owen pointed out.
“But if we only blow one door, it will alert the guards at the other entrances, giving them time to prepare p>
Mira argued.
“How about this: we separate to trigger the detonations at the same time, then immediately regroup and breach through a single door
bether p>
“That’s our only option p>
Master Ellis agreed.
Mira’s squad was only a few dozen strong, and there was no telling how many enemies were hiding inside the hospital.
But judging by the numbers outside, it was definitely more than a few dozen.
With the plan finalized, everyone quickly moved into position and waited for the signal.
As the small explosive charges were tossed toward the doors.
*Boom p>
The sound of detonations rang out from multiple doors almost simultaneously.
However, compared to the blast at the main gate, these explosions were much smaller in scale.
After all, these were interior doors; they couldn’t risk hiding too many heavy explosives.
At that moment, the inside informant sent another message. “A large number of armed guards are gathered at the front and back main entrances. They are wearing white coats and using the hostages as human shields p>
Those ruthless terrorists knew perfectly well that Mira’s team wouldn’t risk harming
the victims.
“We breach through the side door p>
Master Ellis ordered.
“Once inside, half of our team will engage them head-on to draw fire,
covering the other half as they change into white coats infiltrate their ranks, and rescue the
hostages p>
Given Mira and Owen’s sheer combat prowess, they should have been assigned to
the assault team.
However, taking into account Mira’s extraordinary mastery of chemical agents.
And the fact that Owen absolutely refused to be separated from Mira.
He had abandoned the busy Lance Group and traveled to the dangerous Balkan Underworld entirely out of concern for Mira’s safety.
Thus, Mira and Owen were assigned to the hostage rescue unit.
