If the Military kills the surrendering people in front of the police, where does that leave the police's dignity? Who will take responsibility for this? The lead police officer, seeing this, felt the anger rise. If sothing really happened, he'd be the first to bear the responsibility. Thinking about the dia's frenzy when talking about human rights and his potential failure leading to unemploynt or even becoming the subject of negative textbooks, his face changed drastically. He quickly shouted, "Hurry, everyone co and help, hold them back."
The other police officers, hearing the command, looked at each other but still forced themselves to intervene, doing their best to pull the mbers of the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group back. However, how could the police possibly hold back their imnse strength? Discontent, these warriors even turned on the police. Not far away, Jackson watched this unfolding chaos with a dark expression, realizing that it was turning into a farce, and he had no choice but to step forward and shout, "Stop."
While the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group might ignore the police, they didn't dare ignore Jackson, the old captain. They all halted and stepped back. Jackson coldly glanced at his old subordinates, his expression becoming harsher, and he shouted, "Useless fools, beaten on the battlefield, and now you want to act powerful?"
The words struck the mbers of the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group, causing them to lower their proud heads. A soldier's honor should be on the battlefield, not in harming prisoners of war. Gradually, everyone cald down, bowing their heads even lower. Jackson shot a cold glance over the soldiers on the ground, failing to spot any familiar faces, and his heart sank.
Jackson hurriedly grabbed a flashlight, squatting down to check each one, but he found neither Luo Zheng nor Lan Xue. Lan Xue is female, easily recognizable at a glance, and this realization caused Jackson's face to change drastically. He grabbed one person and asked, "Where is your leader? Where is he?"
The one grabbed was Snow Leopard, who was worriedly eyeing the unconscious Ghost Hand, already turned over from another fallen comrade by Jackson. Hearing Jackson's question, he was stunned for a mont, then erupted into joyful laughter. His facial muscles twitched with excitent, turning his expression sowhat fierce. He didn't answer Jackson's question but looked around to his brothers and shouted, "Brothers, did you hear that?"
"We heard, hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter. Jackson's words made them all realize that Luo Zheng and Lan Xue had escaped safely. They saw new hope for rescue and an opportunity to counterattack, and their hearts settled with reassurance.
Jackson was unaware that his words had revealed important information, and he was bewildered by the abnormal laughter. With an icy expression, he tightened his grip on Snow Leopard's chest and demanded, "Tell , where is he?"
"You want to know?" Snow Leopard switched to the international lingua franca, sneering sarcastically, "Let advise you: it's best you treat us with food and drink. Get the wounded so treatnt quickly, or else prepare for crazed and relentless revenge. Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter at Snow Bear's words, looking at Jackson with eyes full of mockery. This enraged the other Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group mbers around them. Seeing Jackson humiliated, Captain was about to step in, but Jackson suddenly shivered for no reason. He had set such a big trap, thinking it would solve everything at once, yet their most fearso opponent had escaped. This unexpected pressure made Jackson feel an indescribable stress. He hastily stopped Captain's assault, glaring coldly at Snow Leopard, and said, "Tell his location, and I can offer you prisoner of war treatnt."
"What a joke, just kill us if you can, I've long since earned enough," Snow Leopard sneered, disdainfully turning to Captain. "A dozen Pot Lid Heads attacking just a dozen of us, doesn't look like much, huh? Co on, if you're brave enough, just shoot , coward!"
"You?" Captain seethed with anger, pulling out his sidearm with a cold face, quickly pressing it to Snow Leopard's head, ready to pull the trigger.
Beside him, Jackson gave Captain a cold glare, shouting, "Haven't you embarrassed us enough? Put the gun away."
"Exactly, put it away, stop making a fool of yourself. What's the point of acting tough with soone who doesn't want to resist? Go rally your comrades instead, didn't half of them die in this battle?" Snow Leopard mocked sarcastically, showing no fear of the gun aid at his head, continuing to taunt.
Seeing Jackson's icy stare, Captain reluctantly holstered his gun. Jackson turned to Snow Leopard and said coldly, "You too have suffered several injuries. From the amount of blood loss, within ten minutes they'll be in shock, not even God can help. Let's make a deal: tell the whereabouts of the others, and I'll arrange treatnt for everyone."
"That's not even funny. You're Jackson, right?" Snow Leopard asked knowingly, sneering coldly. "But let advise you: it'd be best to treat my brothers imdiately, or you won't be able to bear the responsibility if even one dies. Let's see, you seem to have about a dozen family mbers, don't you? Well, coincidentally, we have just about a dozen here to take the fall."
"You're threatening ?" Jackson's face turned cold as he roared, recalling the incident of his family being kidnapped. His heart inexplicably tensed a few degrees, and when he thought about Luo Zheng's terrifying skills and clever strategies, he grew even more worried.
"Hell yes, I'm threatening you. Try if you dare." Snow Leopard retorted disdainfully, glancing once at the unconscious Ghost Hand and then at the other brothers. Most had various injuries, with a few at risk if not treated promptly. He tightened inwardly and shouted at the police, "We have surrendered, arrange treatnt for us imdiately."
The lead police officer hesitated, looking at Jackson. According to protocols, even criminals have human rights and need dical treatnt, but Jackson was the frontline commander, and it was difficult for the lead officer to issue direct orders. Jackson's expression was cold and contemplative. The most important people had escaped, leaving these n might still be useful. Killing them could bring endless retaliation on his family. A crazed avenger was a terrifying thought, one Jackson didn't dare risk. He secretly regretted getting involved, rose, and shouted, "Call an ambulance already."
The lead officer paused, looking complexly at Jackson before hurrying to make the arrangents. Snow Leopard heard this and sneered, casting a derisive look at Jackson and saying, "Kid, you're spineless. You were no match on the battlefield, and now with such underhanded tricks, still no match. Best take good care of us, maybe we'll put in a good word for you in the future."
"Threaten again and you'll all be dead," Jackson shouted furiously in humiliation.
Snow Leopard detected fear and tension in Jackson's words, laughing disdainfully. He gave a secret signal to his brothers, and they all nodded secretly, understanding not to provoke Jackson further. Surviving this was hard enough, no need for unnecessary complications. Snow Leopard looked up at the night sky, murmuring to himself, "Brother, we bear this indignity. It's up to you now. If you're late, I can't guarantee the brothers will continue to endure."
