Chapter 179: Shift in Strategy: All-Out Assault on Wang Yun!
“A lethal dose of powder, once contaminated and inhaled, will paralyze the limbs and result in death within two hours. Considering the travel time from here to the nearest hospital exceeds two hours, anyone contaminated with this powder is effectively eliminated.”
The production staff’s voice echoed in Captain Dragon Hand’s earpiece.
Looking at the traces of powder dusting his men’s shoulders, Captain Dragon Hand looked up to the sky and let out a long, anguished howl before squatting down and clutching his head in his hands.
He had brought two hundred program inspectors on this mission. Just within his squad, there were sixty inspectors. However, in less than ten minutes since they ascended the mountain, Wang Yun’s assault had already resulted in the loss of eight inspectors. The surprise powder attack added fourteen more to the toll, summing up to twenty-two casualties.
He had just gone up the mountain and had already lost twenty-two comrades. Twenty-two lives!
At that moment, Captain Dragon Hand could finally relate to Everick’s predicament.
When Everick arrived at the program inspection headquarters after everyone had been eliminated, he wore a vacant expression. Likewise, he felt utterly drained now. Anger had left him, replaced by a deeper sense of despair.
Wang Yun seemed like a harbinger of doom, always one step ahead, seemingly unbeatable.
“No, no! We cannot give up until the very end,” Captain Dragon Hand rallied himself with a cry of defiance.
