441: Chase

Santorinoya.

GTI Temporary Command Post.

Inside the command post, the GTI Supreme Commander stood at the front, with a massive sand table map behind the commander.

"Just as I said a moment ago."

"It is clear now that Reis intends to drag us down with it."

"The residents of Santorinoya have all been controlled by Reis."

"If Havoc truly disregards everything and launches guided missiles recklessly, we cannot just stand by."

"If we do nothing, it means GTI will lose its credibility globally. Of course, even without considering that, we cannot watch helplessly as those innocent residents die in the war."

"Therefore..."

"We may currently... have to forcibly align ourselves with Reis for the time being."

"We must first delay Havoc's offensive rhythm, then find an opportunity to rescue the residents..."

Speaking of this, the Supreme Commander's expression turned troubled.

An entire region's worth of residents.

How could it be so easy to save them?

The expressions of everyone in front of the Supreme Commander were also very grim.

Golden Luna swallowed, and spoke up:

"Havoc has gone insane now..."

"Can we really stall long enough to rescue all the residents?"

"Would it be simpler to find a chance to kill Reis?"

Kai Silva slapped his thigh, looking at Golden Luna with a face full of surprise.

"Exactly! We are on the same page! Why not just finish off Reis?"

After saying this, Kai Silva even looked at the Supreme Commander and said sarcastically:

"Just like the assassination of Liu Yan."

"Isn't that what we at GTI are best at?"

Hearing what Kai Silva said, the Supreme Commander's expression changed. The Supreme Commander said in a low, apologetic voice:

"Red Wolf, I hope that at this time, we do not mix in too many personal emotions."

"The bounty on Liu Yan caused those Operators to lose sight of priorities and go off to assassinate him at a critical moment. I admit I am responsible for this matter—no, it is entirely my responsibility."

"I should have rescinded the bounty on Liu Yan when the conflict between Havoc and Asara broke out..."

There was not a hint of falsehood in what the Supreme Commander said.

The Supreme Commander had not expected that at such a critical moment, a group of people would ignore the bigger picture and go off to assassinate Liu Yan for the bounty.

Going was one thing.

The problem was, they all died.

The Supreme Commander had watched the street surveillance footage later.

The Supreme Commander had smoked for the entire night.

And the Supreme Commander still had not figured out how Liu Yan made those guns fly.

Now, the Supreme Commander was practically regretting it to the point of turning green.

It was equivalent to drawing an SSR card with infinite pluses, but not taking it, and instead taking a bunch of common SSRs to go throw away.

Facing the Supreme Commander's apology, Kai Silva crossed his arms over his chest, scoffed, and then turned his head away, refusing to look at the Supreme Commander.

Seeing this, the Supreme Commander shook its head helplessly.

"Let's continue. Golden Luna and Red Wolf just proposed eliminating Reis."

"This idea was actually my plan from the beginning."

"But the reason it was not implemented is because of one important factor."

"Those residents deceived by Reis's videos, as well as the families of Soldiers from various regions, have all been hidden away by Reis."

"Therefore, we cannot kill Reis immediately."

"Because no one can be certain if those people's safety can be guaranteed after Reis dies."

"This has also led to Reis using this method to once again control the residents of Santorinoya..."

"Rather than control, it is more like gathering them around Santorinoya so that Havoc finds it difficult to use weapons of mass destruction."

Speaking to this point, the Supreme Commander paused, then scanned the people present.

"Killing Reis might save the residents of Santorinoya."

"But to do so would sacrifice another group of people, whose numbers might not be much fewer than those in Santorinoya."

The Supreme Commander paused again, and finally spoke with some difficulty:

"Everyone..."

"Let's vote."

"Three options."

"One: First help Reis, cooperate to stop Havoc, then find the hiding spots, and finally kill Reis."

"Two: Kill Reis now, then go look for the hiding spots; perhaps it is still possible to find them alive."

"The third one..."

"It might not be very honorable, but I still have to say it."

"Wait for Havoc to use guided missiles to strike the residents of Santorinoya and Reis."

"During the process, we go find the hiding spots of those missing persons."

"In this way, we save this group of people, and at the same time, Havoc will face severe public opinion."

"At that time, we will unite with other countries and destroy Havoc in one fell swoop."

"By then, GTI will be the true, undisputed global emergency organization, and no one will have any objections."

The three options caused the expressions of the Operators present to freeze.

Even the Supreme Commander lowered its head helplessly.

The first option saves the most people, but requires aiding the villain.

The second option sacrifices one group of people to save another.

The third option has the most benefits, but is also the least honorable.

Just as everyone was hesitant and unable to reach a conclusion, a black hole appeared out of thin air in front of Golden Luna.

The next second, a ten thousand gold tear crown was thrown out of it without warning.

"Look out!!" Kai Silva's pupils constricted, and he was the first to react.

He rushed forward almost instantly, pushed Golden Luna away, and then used his body to press down on the ten thousand gold tear crown.

At this moment, the others reacted and immediately moved quickly to the side.

Deep Blue rushed forward, grabbed Kai Silva, and threw him away.

Then Deep Blue used its body to press down on the ten thousand gold tear crown.

"Instructor!!"

Everyone shouted subconsciously.

However, the explosion they imagined did not happen.

At this moment, they saw clearly that the object was not a bomb.

"What is this..." one Operator's voice had not yet trailed off.

Beside the ten thousand gold tear crown that Deep Blue was pressing down on, two figures instantly appeared.

Those two figures were wearing prison uniforms.

They were clearly from the Tidal Prison.

It was none other than Raven and Kim Jae-wook.

"Where is this?" Raven looked around, then looked at Kim Jae-wook with a stunned expression.

Kim Jae-wook also looked around, and cold sweat could not help but seep from his forehead.

This environment...

These people...

No matter how you look at it, this does not look like we arrived near ordinary people...

The name I randomly input... how did we end up in the military...

"Big brother, grab me! Run!!!"

Kim Jae-wook barely had time to explain and immediately began grabbing items randomly from his quantum storage.

He took out a powerful vacuum cleaner, then pulled out a mandel brick from inside.

After opening it, it was a strengthened smoke screen.

Without time to think, Kim Jae-wook immediately released the smoke screen!

While the others were still dumbfounded by the two people appearing out of thin air.

The thick smoke exploded in the command post in an instant!

However, the temporary command post could not contain such thick smoke.

Almost in an instant, the smoke spread outward, shrouding the entire vicinity in white smoke.

In the smoke, Kim Jae-wook grabbed Raven and ran quickly.

At the same time, he took out a portable military radar.

The radar activated, and everyone in the smoke was marked, allowing the two of them to clearly know where people were and thus avoid them first.

"Who on earth are you?" Raven asked, following him while completely bewildered, from behind Kim Jae-wook.

Kim Jae-wook had no time to answer; to ensure safety, he grabbed a few more smoke screens and released them.

After several consecutive releases.

The white smoke had practically shrouded half of the Santorinoya region.

"Let's run to a place without people first. I feel like something is wrong here. Why are there people everywhere? And they all have guns, damn it!"

Looking at those silhouettes holding guns, Kim Jae-wook knew that this was definitely the wrong place.

"Wait! What is this?!"

Just then, Raven behind Kim Jae-wook shouted in surprise.

Kim Jae-wook turned his head subconsciously, but this time, his pupils could not help but dilate, and cold sweat broke out all over him!

That was clearly a black hole brought about by a military information terminal...

It was right beside Raven at this moment.

And, the same ten thousand gold tear crown had already been thrown out of that black hole...
