Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 478 Unlucky guy

Investigator Thomas and his three companions were running wildly in the woods outside the small town of Mission, Russia, with a dozen gunmen chasing them.

Thomas didn't know what bad luck he had...

He just wanted to sneak into the target building to look for the hostages after Tom with a Mustache led a large group of people away. It turned out that the building was like a hornet's nest, and more people would pop out if he poked it.

One of Thomas's men ran and yelled, "Boss, what should we do?"

Thomas was just investigating people. Faced with this situation, what other options did he have except to run?

But saying that he had no way out made him look useless, so Thomas sped up as hard as he could, using practical actions to tell his friends what to do now...

The foursome ran wildly in the woods for nearly two kilometers, running from the edge of the town into the depths of the woods.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

When the pursuers realized that this place was out of sight of outsiders in the town, they were freed.

A series of bullets were fired at Thomas and his men. The bullets hit the trees with a crackling sound. One bullet grazed Thomas' thigh, leaving a trail of blood...

"Well," Thomas groaned in pain, then decisively slid forward and knelt, with his back to the enemy and his hands raised high, shouting: "Don't shoot, I surrender..."

His three buddies originally wanted to help him, but when they saw this guy surrendering so easily, and then compared the number of people and firepower of both sides, they also raised their hands, threw away the MP7 in their hands, and knelt on the ground...

"We surrender..."

The actions of these four people confused the pursuers. They surrounded them vigilantly, and two of them stepped forward and carefully collected the weapons from Thomas and the other three.

After confirming that they really had no ability to resist, the bald bearded leader took off his hat, wiped his sweaty face, and nodded to his men...

Then more than a dozen people rushed forward and started punching and kicking Thomas and the others.

Thomas didn't dare to resist. He held his head in pain and curled up. When the enemy's punches and kicks were not so strong, he shouted loudly: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding...

I am an investigator for an international intermediary company and I have a revenge fund!

I'm here for Richard Franklin and Emma Stone, and if they're not there then this is all a misunderstanding!"

Thomas was very smart. He waited until the other party was tired before revealing his identity. This was because he was worried that when the other party got angry, he would hear his identity and kill him to silence him.

It has to be said that the "revenge funds" of international intermediary companies are still deterrent, especially the revenge funds of investigators.

This thing is like the insurance that an international intermediary company buys for investigators. If you die while performing an investigation mission, a new investigator will step in to find the cause of death and then avenge you.

International intermediary companies have established their own set of rules using the modern financial insurance system. Most people, unless they are desperate or fearless, rarely breach contracts or attack investigators in matters related to international intermediary companies.

The group of people who beat Thomas obviously knew about the international intermediary company and the investigator revenge fund, so when Thomas shouted, they stopped one after another and looked at each other...

"Boss, what should we do? Kill them?"

Thomas saw those people turning their eyes to the bald bearded man who was leading them, and he instantly confirmed that the two hostages were in the target building.

He lay on the ground, curled up, and pinched the bottom corner of his clothes with his right hand. After waiting for a few seconds, he said loudly: "This is all a misunderstanding. Just let us go and I will pretend nothing happened."

The bald bearded man frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Killing the investigators from the international agency is very troublesome. Take them back and wait for the boss to come back to deal with them."

After receiving the order from the bald bearded man, several people walked up to Thomas and the others, forced them to stand up at gunpoint, and began to walk back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Boss, what do you think next?"

One of Thomas' men, with a crooked nose, sighed and said, "When I applied for the job, you didn't tell me that being a detective was so dangerous."

Thomas spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and grinned, saying, "You said you were a soldier of the Royal Canadian Air Service. Did I refute you?"

Crooked Nose said a little unhappily: "I really am..."

Thomas said with disdain, "Does cleaning guns and shoes for the Air Service Regiment count as being a soldier?"

"Doesn't it count?"

Crooked Nose bumped Thomas with his shoulder in displeasure and cursed, "FUCK, you promised me a $2 annual salary, full insurance and no danger, but I've only been with you in Alaska for a few days and I almost died twice."

Thomas tried to kick back in annoyance, but his kick missed and he fell, causing the people escorting them to look at each other and laugh in relief.

Thomas seemed to be fainted from anger. He rolled around on the ground angrily, grabbed a handful of grass leaves and threw them at Crooked Nose...

Then, facing the attack from Crooked Nose, he crawled on the ground for several meters as if he was dizzy. Every time he touched someone's shoes, he quickly changed direction like a hamster encountering an obstacle.

It was not until he met the fourth person that he was grabbed by the collar and pulled up.

Crooked Nose seemed to be mad and rushed over with two other guys to beat Thomas, but then they were caught by the gunmen.

During the shove, the two sides came into physical contact, and without the gunmen's knowledge, they were smeared with a fluorescent paint that could only be detected with special observation equipment. Thomas and his men, having achieved their goal, calmed down after being hit by a few butts of guns.

Just as the gunmen were forcing them to keep moving forward and return to the town before it got completely dark, a dark shadow flashed past the rear of their team...

The skinny gunman who was at the end of the team felt that he was hit by something, and his whole body flew sideways into the bushes. Then he felt a pain in his neck, and then his body was shaken by a huge force, and then he lost consciousness...

Such a big commotion couldn't possibly go unnoticed!

When the man in front turned around with a gun in hand, he could only hear a rustling sound in the bushes not far away, and could not see anything else.

The light around was very dim, and the sudden abnormality made the gunmen a little nervous...

By this time they had discovered that their skinny companion was missing, and the tense atmosphere became even more intense.

The bald bearded man was relatively calm. He loudly ordered his two men to go in and take a look...

The two gunmen who received the order looked at each other, pushed the safety of their rifles, took out flashlights to illuminate, and slowly walked towards the bushes where the noise came from.

After walking forward about ten meters, I saw the skinny gunman lying on the ground with a twisted neck.

The sudden death made the two gunmen very nervous. One of them was on guard while the other quickly approached the skinny gunman to see if he was dead.

Just as the two men focused their attention on the skinny gunman, two low growls sounded from their side...

Then two extremely strong cougars pounced from their right side, and their heavy bodies hit the two gunmen, knocking them to the ground.

Both gunmen held their guns in their right hands, and facing the attack from the right, they had no time to turn around and shoot.

The two mountain lions seemed to have been specially trained to deal with gunmen. They slapped the gunman's right arm with their claws before the collision, and then used their strong bodies to knock the gunman over. They pressed heavily on the gunman, and then when the gunman desperately resisted, they jumped up like civet cats...

The cougar's powerful hind paws gained leverage on the gunman's belly and thighs, leaving deep bloody marks. At the same time, its body did a 180-degree rotation with its front paws as the center. It then grabbed the gunman's face with its front paws, exposing his throat and bit it, then shook its body violently and dragged him into the nearby bushes.

At this time, everyone who reacted did not dare to shoot at the humans and animals in the fight, for fear that they would not kill the cougar but kill their own people instead.

The bald bearded man was the first to react. He raised his rifle and fired into the sky...

"bang bang bang"

A series of gunshots rang out. The loud noise made the two mountain lions stop tearing each other apart. They turned around and ran into the depths of the woods along the bushes.

"FUCK..."

The bald bearded man loudly called out to his men and rushed to the three wounded...

The cougar is not an alien, and humans are not made of tofu, so although the three wounded were attacked, they did not die.

The skinny gunman who was attacked first had his neck dislocated and several bloody holes bitten on both sides of his neck. It looked serious but not fatal.

His body was stiff but his consciousness was still normal. Seeing his companion approaching, he raised one hand with all his strength...

"There is a monster, save me..."

The bald bearded man simply took a quick look and loudly ordered his men to assign half of them to stand guard while the other half started making a stretcher using materials available at hand.

When he walked over to the other two injured guys, he couldn't help but curse...

Compared to the skinny gunman, the injuries of these two people looked very serious. One person's left cheek was completely torn, and the other's neck was torn open, but fortunately, the artery was not injured.

"FUCK, call the town doctor..."

Just as the bald bearded man was organizing a rescue, two deep roars came from deep in the woods...

"bang bang bang"

"Fuck, come on..."

A gunman on guard fired continuously at the direction where the roar came from, and then roared loudly, as if this could scare them away.

Thomas saw a dark shadow flash through the woods on the side. He nervously pulled his three companions to stand in a circle back to back, and then shouted to several restless alert gunmen: "Be careful, they are coming again..."

While these people were facing off against the two mountain lions, Dove, who was sitting on a big tree at the edge of the town, put down his night vision goggles and picked up his VSS sniper rifle...

"Butcher, there are four people in the target house, move..."

The butcher looked at the donkey and the sea lion beside him and said, "You two go through the front door, I'll go through the back door. Please pay attention to the safety of the hostages..."

After saying that, the butcher took off the mask on his face and disappeared into the darkness with the AK-105 in hand...
