Chapter 195


    Facing his questioning, Ste finally relented, "Yes, tell me your ns, and after the task is over, I


    might just spare your life."


    The man hesitated, "Are you from Silver Asylum?"


    "Yes, and no," Ste replied, cocking her gun, "Do you want a chance to live?"


    Of course he did, he didn''t want to die. If he couldn''t make it at Alpha Outpost, couldn''t he survive at


    another base? There was no need to gamble with his life.


    So he spewed out everything, revealing all the personnel andyout of Alpha Outpost, hoping that


    they would let him live.


    Ste kept her word and decided to leave him until tomorrow. To be on the safe side, Jasper found


    a secluded cave and hid the man there, casually stripping him of his clothes.


    The man shivered in fear, "Buddy, buddy, leave me my boxers?"


    Boxers? Wishful thinking.


    Not only did they strip himpletely, but they also tied him up, and stuffed a couple of sleeping


    pills in his mouth, ensuring that he would not wake up, even with a cannon firing at him for 24 hours.


    The man struggled, but the fierce re from the relentless Jasper made him quickly stay put. After


    a while, the effects of the drug put him to sleep.


    Jasper didn''t forget to gag him.


    Ste took the man''s car into Arcadia, then ording to his instructions, piled up stones at the


    intersection, signaling to the others that there was no ambush, and everything was ready.


    Jasper decisively chose toy an ambush near Alpha Outpost. Firstly, the distance was closer and


    the visibility better; secondly, their backs would be exposed, making it easier for Cooperto approach


    without being detected.


    It was still early, Ste opened the man''s backpack, and surprisingly found a brand new sniper rifle.


    Jasper examined it, "This is the best brand, with a range of up to 3000 meters, judging by the wear


    and tear, it probably hasn''t been used yet."


    Ste couldn''t help but sigh, such an ipetent man with such a good gun. Jasper sure was


    lucky.


    The day broke without them realizing it. Ste ate a tasteless sandwich to fill her stomach, then


    continued to stay hidden.


    The sun gradually grew harsher, and by nine o''clock, the people from Silver Asylum slowly


    appeared. Three off-road vehicles and one truck, a total of fifty to sixty people, all armed.


    Off-road vehicles hung with curtains, Ste used binocrs to carefully observe, but couldn''t guess


    which car Bryce was in. That jerk, he sure knew how to protect himself.


    It was nine o''clock, but the people from Alpha Outpost had not appeared, clearly indicating an


    attempt to intimidate Bryce.


    After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Ste spotted cars appearing in the distance through her


    binocrs. Two off-road vehicles and two trucks, all loaded with people.


    There was an agreed upon number of people for the negotiation, but Ste, with her high vantage


    point, clearly noticed that the number of people from Alpha Outpost was considerably more. It was


    obvious that they nned to go all in today, taking the opportunity of the negotiation to wipe out


    Silver Asylum.


    Worried about the quality of Bryce''s explosives, Ste took out Jasper''s homemade bombs and


    molotov cocktails from Arcadia, "Should I go instead?"


    She was genuinely worried about Cooper. If she encountered danger, she could still retreat into


    Arcadia.


    Jasper considered, "Ste, whether it''s size, sense of smell or agility, Cooper is more suitable than


    us. If you go yourself and get discovered, this n will entirely fail."


    Cooper bit the bomb, refusing to let go. Thinking of Rosie still at Silver Asylum, Ste had no choice


    but to agree.


    Jasper tied up the explosives and petted Cooper''s head, "Don''t try to be a hero. If you get


    discovered, retreat immediately."


    Cooper looked at them with determined eyes.


    Ste had tears in her eyes and touched his head reluctantly, "Remember, no matter what, your


    own life is the most important." She didn''t want him to be as foolish as in his past life. It wasn''t worth


    it.

    At this point, the vehicles from Alpha Outpost drove over, stopping one by one at a distance of 50


    meters from the other side.


    The armed men jumped off the trucks first, standing menacingly by the side. Both leaders were


    about maintaining their image, so neither was in a rush to get out of their cars.


    Alpha Outpost''s vehicles were parked at an angle. At first nce, it didn''t seem very orderly, but to


    the trained eye, it was a strategic move. The two trucks formed a figure eight, with the off-road


    vehicles in the middle. Parking in this manner meant that the vehicles could be used as cover


    during a fight, and they could escape at a moment''s notice. Reversing a truck was extremely quick


    and convenient.


    Moreover, this parking method was particrly friendly to Jasper, as the fuel tanks of the big trucks


    were clearly visible.


    However, there were also people with guns on the lookout at the back, but there were only four of


    them.


    Jasper gave Cooper directions, to move around from the side, and ce the explosive under the


    fuel tank of the first truck. Afraid of being discovered, he instructed Cooper to move the bomb a bit


    further inside based on the shooting limit.


    Ste, who didn''t understand dognguage, was left speechless.


    After two years of training, Cooper understood the trainer''s instructions immediately. Wearing a


    bulletproof vest, and carrying the heavy bomb in his mouth, he moved forward without hesitation.


    Ste didn''t see the fear in Cooper''s eyes, but there was no hesitation in his action. He didn''t want


    his owner to be hurt again, so he was going to blow them up.


    The distance of about five hundred meters seemed extremely long to Ste. She followed Cooper''s


    figure closely with her binocrs, not missing a beat.


    Jasper was indeed professional. Cooper didn''t make any sound as he silently approached the


    negotiation site.


    Perhaps both parties were giving time for their snipers to find the best shooting point, so neither of


    them got out of their cars to greet each other.


    After a standoff of more than ten minutes, the people from Alpha Outpost were the ones to finally


    walk towards the vehicles of Silver Asylum.


    They said something, and Piersen who came forward had an impatient look on his face, seemingly


    reproaching the other side for deliberately beingte and acting arrogant.


    To maintain his image, the other party should get out of the car and apologize first to show sincerity.


    Cooper moved forward, sometimes tiptoeing, and when the cover on the mountain was not strong,


    he had to crawl forward.


    Biting on a bomb weighing more than ten pounds and wearing a heavy bulletproof vest in the


    scorching sun of up to 60 degrees was absolute torture for Cooper, who could only dissipate heat


    through his tongue. At one point, perhaps he made a slight sound, which alerted the vignt


    tattooed men. They looked around, even taking out binocrs.


    Coopery t on the ground, not even daring to breathe. It was only when they let their guard


    down that he moved forward once again.


    Circling around the blockade, Cooper finally reached the foot of the mountain, only a few meters


    away from the big truck.


    At this moment, the guy who was on guard duty, was hit by a pressing need to relieve himself and


    scurried off to the nearby bushes.


    Crawling in the grass, pressing the explosive package beneath him, the dog, soaked with pee from


    head to toe, was extremely furious.


    Fire zed in the dog''s eyes, a furious inferno of righteous anger. He was gonna kill him!
