Chapter 447: Eradicating the Den of Demons
This secret medical center had already been operating for a very long time, and thanks to the deserted nature of Area 9, an illegal organ harvesting operation had been taking place in the medical center in a brazen and unrestrained manner. The medical center had claimed tens of thousands of victims, generating immense profits in the process.
Initially, people were oblivious to the existence of this place due to the live broadcasts being cut short, but this location was mentioned in the "restored" footage that had suddenly popped up, and an order was immediately passed down to transfer the medical center elsewhere.
However, the medical center had already been here for many years, and it was not so easy to transfer away.
"They're coming too fast! I don't think we'll be able to move everything in time."
A man wearing a camouflage uniform was standing atop a rusty metal tower, watching the approaching convoy through a telescope. A cold look flashed through his lone eye as he turned his gaze down below.
"Don't worry about the medical staff, it doesn't matter to us in the slightest whether they live or die. Our priority is to get the databases out of here."
"Got it, Boss."
"But Boss, how are we going to get away? The Mechguard units are already closing in, and there are too many of them for our jammers to deal with."
"Focus on getting the databases out of here and leave that for me to deal with."
The man pulled out an old satellite phone as he spoke, then pressed a button before delivering a cold ultimatum.
"I don't care who you are, if I don't see reinforcements in five minutes, I'm leaving everything behind and getting out of here. You can deal with the consequences!"
After delivering the ultimatum, he crushed the satellite phone into pieces with his mechanical prosthetic right hand before hurling it against the ground.
"All these bastards do is hide in the shadows and bark instructions at us. They don't care at all if we live or die!"
The man picked up a 25mm sniper rifle from the ground while grumbling to himself, then set its barrel on a gap in the rusty metal tower as he observed the approaching lead car in the convoy through the scope on the rifle.
In a secret base in the city, an operator of the crisis group raised his hand.
The young man in the suit nodded in response, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he saw the ultimatum on the terminal in front of him.
"You're nothing more than a bunch of lowly mercenaries who would do anything for money! If it isn't for the fact that it's too much trouble to call upon anyone else on such short notice, there's no way we would've ever even considered trash like you!"
Despite his displeasure, he still calmly issued a string of instructions.
"Lower the strength of the internet signal in that area as much as possible to delay the transmission of instructions to the Mechguard units, but make sure you don't cut off the internet signal entirely or we'll have to deal with those nutjobs from the Dataist Union. On top of that, instruct the other two elite squads near Area 9 to prepare to intercept and destroy all important resources if they aren't transferred away in time."
"But Adam is also in that convoy, what if we injure him as well during the interception?"
Directly harming or killing a special psychic police officer on duty would've incurred extremely severe consequences.
Mechguard and the Dataist Union didn't care about anything aside from the enforcement of the law, and there was a very good chance that they would be thrown to the wolves as scapegoats if Adam were to be harmed by their actions.

A derisive sneer appeared on the young man's face. It was preposterous that a bunch of indecisive fools like these had been sent to carry out such an important job.
He swept a cold gaze across the faces of everyone before him, and all of them reflexively averted their eyes, not daring to directly face his sharp gaze.
"I know that all of you are either viewed as unimportant in your families or have next to no chance of becoming the heir. This is the only chance you'll ever get in your lives and if you screw this up, you'll never be entrusted to do anything again, and you'll live out the rest of your days off monthly trust fund payments. I don't care what any of you think, but if any of you dare to foil my plan, then I'll strangle you to death, then take down your family along with everyone else here. This is not an empty threat, and I wouldn't test me if I were any of you."
No one dared to stand up to him, and he pursed his lips in disdain before continuing to issue instructions to the technical staff of the crisis group.
……
Outside the abandoned car factory, Adam was the first one to notice that the internet signal had suddenly become a lot weaker. Shivani was accompanying him, and her live stream signal was cutting off intermittently, making it completely unwatchable.
"Don't be alarmed, this is only to be expected. From now on, all of our operations will be faced with similar obstacles, so don't expect any smooth sailing."
He was looking ahead while speaking in a calm voice, seemingly completely unfazed.
Just as he said, this was only to be expected. If he were in the shoes of his enemies, he would do the exact same thing and perhaps go even further than this.
His enemies were accustomed to living the good life, so their courage and resolve had been severely diminished over time. Furthermore, they were accustomed to playing political games and weren't anticipating that Adam would truly be going all-in and putting his life on the line.
At around two kilometers away from the abandoned car factory, a metal bridge appeared in front of the convoy. It was in a state of extreme disrepair and was only just barely safe to cross.
The first armored assault vehicle had only made it a third of the way onto the bridge before the man in the camouflage uniform pressed down on the button that he was holding.
Over a ton of TNT that had been planted on the underside of the bridge was instantly detonated, blowing up one of the bridge's pillars and reducing the entire bridge into scrap metal, almost sending the assault vehicle flying as well in the process.
"Oh, so close," the man in the camouflage uniform murmured to himself with a sinister grin on his face, then urged the team below him to work faster.
On the other side of the metal bridge, the convoy drew to a halt, and Thunderbird and the others set up a defensive barricade while Adam emerged from his bulletproof vehicle. His helmet encapsulated his head, and he was instantly transformed into an sci-fi armored warrior.
That's so cool!
This was the first time that Shivani was seeing Adam in this form, and she reflexively turned her camera to him.
Adam was able to sense something through his telegnosis, and he took a glance at the metal tower that the man where the camouflage uniform was situated, then issued an instruction to Adam and the others.
"Destroy that tower that gets the drones to surround the area and cut off all paths for escape. In the meantime, we'll launch a full-frontal assault with the Mechguard units leading the way."
As professional soldiers, Thunderbird and the others were extremely quick to carry out instructions, and it didn't take long before several Mechguard units jumped out of one of the cars in the convoy, then rushed to the front to lead the charge.
Meanwhile, a pair of drones fired missiles at the metal tower without warning, and the man in the camouflage uniform hurriedly scrambled down from the tower upon seeing this, managing to just barely get down before half of the tower was blown up by the missiles.
Adam and the rest of the special psychic police officers rushed along behind the Mechguard units, using their rocket boosters to launch themselves over the destroyed metal bridge before rapidly approaching the abandoned car factory.
The armed forces lying in ambush immediately opened fire to intercept them, only to be taken out by the Mechguard units with unerring accuracy.
Adam was rapidly flying toward the factory where the medical center was situated when he suddenly felt a sharp sense of peril through his telegnosis, and he immediately dodged to the side.
A 25mm armor piercing bullet flew right past him, destroying the arm of one of the Mechguard units behind him.
He immediately released his neuron transmitter signal in that direction, forcibly draggin everything within a radius of 200 meters into his psychic world.
As soon as he entered the psychic world, he immediately invoked several anomalies at once while also fusing as one with Mummy. He then inspected his surroundings to find that aside from Thunderbird's trio, all of the people around him were criminals and workers who were inside the factory, as well as some organ donors who were yet to be transferred away.
I almost didn't make it in time.
He really had to thank his enemies for underestimating him and taking so long to make a move. If he had come here even half an hour later, there would've been nothing for him to find.
In the face of all of the enemies converging toward him, Adam released his runed bandages in all directions.
……
Inside a certain building in Area 37, a phone began to ring.
"Mr. Yamamoto, the higher-ups are asking you to eliminate the target as soon as possible."
"They can count on me!"
