Chapter 92: Fighting Back
"Can I borrow your cell phone to show this problem to the higher-ups? We can’t move recklessly when the problem has jeopardized the security of this base," Victor explained seriously, his voice sounding colder than before. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Sure, you can take it with you. But make sure to return it to me," Theodore replied, nodding his head with no problem.
Victor then waved his hand at the two subordinates, getting up from his chair and intending to rush to meet his superiors in charge of this base immediately.
When they all wanted to leave Victor’s room, Theodore saw with his eyes that someone boldly opened the door of Victor’s room loudly without even saying excuse me first.
"Captain! There are reports that the Cataclysm Brotherhood has started acting up again. They are convoying the streets and killing anyone they see on the way." The soldier reported the emergency situation with a very noticeable anxious face.
"They seem to want to find me. We must act now, captain." Theodore did not expect the group to immediately do something extreme like this.
"You two go bring a unit of our troops to arrest them. I’ll report this to my superiors. First, I’ll update you if there are any updates on this matter." Victor calmly ordered Roderick to lead his team in dealing with the Cataclysm Brotherhood.
"Okay, go, Captain!" Roderick immediately rushed to prepare his troops.
When Theodore wanted to follow Roderick’s lead because he knew Victor also wanted him to handle this matter.
"You stay here. There’s still something I want to talk to you about." Victor quickly held Theodore’s pace.
Theodore only turned to Victor, glancing at him in confusion because what else did they need to discuss?
"I need you to find that ’Big Brother’ figure you spoke of. Separate yourself from the troops and try to sneak among them to find that person. If you get him, hold him until we come; just remember not to kill him." Victor gave his special instructions to Theodore.
Honestly, Theodore was dumbfounded at this moment. He couldn’t even reply to Victor’s words. Theodore did not expect Victor to give him special instructions; in fact, the mission to capture someone alive like this was more difficult.
"I will do my best." Before leaving the room, Theodore bowed slightly to Victor and immediately waltzed away.
Theodore immediately caught up with Roderick, who seemed ready with more troops than he had brought when they went on the iron and metal search.
"Theodore! We must leave immediately." From a distance, Roderick called Theodore loudly; it was obvious that they were pressed for time.
"You brought a lot of people this time." Theodore saw that there were about 18 other soldiers brought by Roderick.
Roderick immediately ordered the soldier driving the car that was often used to carry many people to drive towards the direction where the crime scene occurred.
"I heard that those people brought about 50 people in ten cars and several motorcycles to create chaos around the north gate area. At least we can hold them off with this many people," Roderick explained.
"Makes sense; it seems like they’re very intent on finding me," Theodore replied with a grimace; he really could have died at the hands of that group if he didn’t have good escape skills.
"They don’t seem to want the secrets they’ve been hiding all this time revealed because of you," Roderick replied, shaking his head.
Unlike their previous trip, the soldiers Roderick brought along were wearing full gear; Theodore was quite surprised when he saw them when he climbed into the car earlier.
"Do you have binoculars? I need them. It would be great if you could lend me one," Theodore said after a while passed.
Roderick, who didn’t expect Theodore to speak like that, glanced at him sarcastically. However, Roderick took something from the box that was there.
"Why do you need this thing?" Roderick asked in confusion while still giving the binoculars to Theodore.
"This time, I won’t be coming with you guys to fight them directly. Victor wants me to do something for him, and I need this. It would be great if you could give me a long-barreled gun," Theodore said with a smirk on his face.
"You can’t casually ask me for a long-barreled weapon like that." Roderick rolled his eyes lazily and did not give Theodore what he wanted.
Theodore just shrugged his shoulders lazily anyway, although if Roderick could give him a long-barreled weapon usually used by a Sniper, he could help them from afar.
The sounds of commotion and gunfire that filled the area began to be heard. Theodore realized that they were close to where the riot was happening.
Not wanting the Cataclysm Brotherhood’s people to know that Theodore was with the soldiers, Theodore decided to get out of the car when they were about to arrive at the scene.
"You guys, be careful!" Theodore put his black face cover back on and disappeared into the darkness.
Meanwhile, Roderick and the others continued their journey after Theodore’s departure.
Theodore chose a dark path that others would not notice at this time. His task this time was only to scout and find out who exactly the ’big brother’ figure said by the Cataclysm Brotherhood group members.
The members of the Cataclysm Brotherhood group were scattered on the streets, and some of them had even broken into other people’s homes and committed massacres there.
Seeing all that, Theodore was furious, especially when he thought they were doing this to feed the zombies they had hidden inside their headquarters. freёwebnovel.com
"But my job here is only to find the big brother." Theodore was struck with a dilemma when he saw how ruthless the people of the Cataclysm Brotherhood were.
Finally, Theodore could not just stand by when he saw innocent people being killed by them.
With a baseball bat in his hand, Theodore jumped high from the darkness and started hitting the heads of the Cataclysm Brotherhood members he met. Theodore immediately told the civilians who were there to run away.
At the same time, Theodore could see the troops brought by Theodore also starting to do their job.
From a distance, Theodore heard people shouting that the intruder was there. He immediately realized they were making a mess like this to catch him.
"So you were looking for me?" Theodore laughed out loud as he realized the sharp gazes of the people were directed at him.
Soon, Theodore felt the presence of someone with solid strength, and it came from behind him.
Theodore became alert, and this time, he threw down the baseball bat in his hand and picked up the sword that was kept at his waist.
"I knew that you would come alone. I will make you regret knowing what you know now," said a man with many tattoos, grinning widely at Theodore.
Theodore subconsciously felt his body creep when he saw the man slowly walking towards him. He could think that the man was dangerous.
