Chapter 1062: Chapter 426: Capture Them All Alive Chapter 1062: Chapter 426: Capture Them All Alive “Is everyone inside?”

“They are!”

“Okay, go call them.”

Outside the villa, after exchanging a few words with several other legion commanders, Tian Xuesong, the commander of the First Legion, immediately issued an order.

Then, a man holding a loudspeaker stepped forward.

“Those inside, listen up, you are surrounded! Put down your weapons and surrender immediately…”

“Those inside, listen up…”

Although the blizzard was raging outside, the sound of the loudspeaker still penetrated the villa.

The Awakeners inside the villa were stunned for a moment; they thought they had heard wrong. Someone approached the window, saw that there were indeed many more figures in the snowy wind outside, and they became even more puzzled.

“Did the people from City Hall come knocking? Have we been exposed? That’s impossible, right?”

“No, how would they dare? We have four Awakeners here!”

“Incomprehensible…”

Fourth-order Awakeners are the highest combat power of Changhe Base, comparable to nuclear bombs, so they enjoy many privileges that ordinary people do not.

Normally, even if they made mistakes, the City Hall side would still talk to them very politely or even pretend to ignore it! After all, no one wants to anger a “nuclear bomb.”

Therefore, they were fearless, even if they did follow Zhu Fen in doing some things that ordinary folks would find questionable, they were Awakeners. Although their status was not as high as Zhu Fen’s, their personal strength was worlds apart! The City Hall couldn’t possibly afford to offend them, could they? City Hall still counted on them to expand territory!

So they had never imagined that someone would actually come, especially within a few hours of the announcement of Zhu Fen’s death, and without prior notice!

That clearly indicated one thing–City Hall really wanted to take them down!

Thinking this, the Awakeners not only felt no fear, but actually found it quite amusing. After all, they were of “nuclear bomb” level strength!

Although they were only four “nuclear bombs,” such weapons, despite their small number, were still fearsomely powerful.

If they were angered, could the damage caused be endured by the base?

These four Awakeners suddenly felt eager to try something; it had been snowing heavily these days, and they hadn’t been able to go out, leading to their bodies feeling somewhat rusty. They actually wanted to find someone to practice on!

However, different from these four Awakeners, the expressions of the male and female committee members changed drastically.

They were very aware of the City Hall’s and the committee’s operating patterns–
If City Hall wanted to take action against them, it would surely report first to the committee, and the committee would hold a meeting to decide how to proceed; and if some people in the committee wanted to take action, that would also require a meeting, and then the City Hall would be notified to carry out the decision.

Anyway, whoever wanted to take action against them had to hold a meeting first!

And holding a meeting took time; even if they didn’t inform them about the meeting, it still needed time, even for a unanimously approved meeting, and it wouldn’t be possible to make a decision in such a short time.

So, even if City Hall was to catch them, it couldn’t be so swift.

But now, with the people from City Hall present, only one possibility remained– the committee had not held a meeting but had taken direct action.

By all means, this was not supposed to happen because it was against the laws of the base. Remember, these laws were established by the Six Major Legions when they founded the base, including themselves; nobody could defy them, or they would face severe punishment, so City Hall couldn’t execute these illegal orders.

Thus, the conclusion was clear–those who came were not from City Hall but from the Six Major Legions! They had moved out directly in the name of the Legion!

If that was the case, then the problem was serious.

If it had been City Hall catching people, there might still be room for negotiation, but if it were the Six Major Legions catching people, it meant disregarding life and death!

The Six Major Legions had stated before that they would not take action within the base; they were meant for external threats. The base’s security was managed by the police and the City Defense Army, with different duties and mutual restraint, which allowed the base to develop healthily. But there were exceptions, and that was when the base fell into crisis, the Six Major Legions had to act.

The last time the Six Major Legions acted within the base was when a meteorite had fallen into the base…

Thinking of these, the two committee members suddenly broke out into cold sweats–The Six Major Legions were serious!

“Could there be something like a missile strike happening? If that were the case, no number of Awakeners could bear it!”

“Run!”

The two committee members looked at each other, seeing the same thought in each other’s eyes.

This was not the time to hesitate; they could spend the rest of their lives in prison!

However, they did not share this thought with the four Awakeners. At this time, they needed someone to draw fire! Ordinary people definitely wouldn’t do, but these four Awakeners were absolutely qualified!

Unfortunately, the blizzard outside was too heavy; they couldn’t see clearly how many soldiers or weapons were out there… Their escape would be very risky, after all, their bodies were flesh and blood, unable to withstand bullets.

After exchanging glances briefly, the female committee member then spoke with feigned calm:
“They probably won’t dare to deal with us, it’ll be all bark and no bite. You go out and check. Remember to be tough… We’re counting on you four!”
