Chapter 1562

[ 611 words ]

To the untrained eye, the shepherd’s refusal seemed like the honest reaction of a humble civilian.

But Brooks’s response was ruthlessly pragmatic. “We don’t have time to move them. We’re going to drive right over them.”

“Step aside immediately. We are hunting foreign spies. If you delay this operation, you will be arrested and interrogated for treason.”

Brooks’s words carried a heavy, lethal threat.

The shepherd’s face drained of color. “You can’t just run them over! They’re still alive!”

“If you don’t move right now, you will be classified as an enemy combatant.”

Brooks hurled the stack of cash out the window.

He threw it hard and far.

The bills scattered wildly in the wind.

“Oh, God, please don’t do this…”

The shepherd scrambled desperately to collect the flying money.

Simultaneously, Brooks slammed the window shut.

The sergeant barked at Wang to floor it.

Without a second of hesitation, Wang slammed the gas and the heavy military vehicle surged forward.

Seeing them punch it, the cars behind them immediately gunned their engines in pursuit.

They simultaneously ordered the two cars ahead to reverse down the lane and ram the military vehicle head-on.

They were completely boxing them in.

As expected, the operatives were heavily armed.

The approaching cars opened fire directly into the driver’s side.

Wang had to execute violent evasive maneuvers while dodging a hail of bullets.

The sergeant cursed viciously and drew his sidearm.

With the sergeant returning fire, the pressure on Wang eased slightly.

But the situation deteriorated violently in seconds.

The cars tailing them rammed the military vehicle from behind at full speed.

The massive impact forced Wang to jerk the wheel, sending the heavy vehicle crashing brutally into the highway guardrail.

“Wang!” the sergeant screamed, scrambling to check on him.

Wang’s head had smashed against the steering wheel, but far worse, his chest was blooming with a massive spreading bloodstain. He had taken a bullet.

“Listen up! Hand over Claire, and the rest of you walk away!”

“We’ll even throw the shepherd back as a bonus.”

“Refuse, and this shepherd dies right now.” Seeing the military vehicle

immobilized, the opera

piled out

of their cars

Two heavily armed men clad in black tactical gear and masks approached.

One of them dragged the shepherd forward by the collar, shouting his demands at the bullet-riddled vehicle.

The sergeant was desperately trying to apply pressure to Wang’s chest wound.

Claire took one look and ordered sharply, “Move him to the back immediately! I can stop the bleeding!”

The sergeant suddenly remembered Officer Miller mentioning that Claire was a phenomenal doctor.

He hauled Wang over the center console while Brooks and River reached out to pull the bleeding soldier into the back.

“Claire, please save him. He’s just a kid.”

“He’s an only child!”

Sergeant Wu had run countless ops over the years and lost too many brothers, accumulating a body full of scars himself.

But he absolutely refused to let young Wang die here.

It was supposed to be a simple escort mission. How did it turn into a bloodbath?

Wang was just a driver. He hadn’t even written a will yet.

“Hold on, Sergeant. I will do everything in my power to keep him alive!”

Claire knew that Wang and Sergeant Wu were only bleeding because of her.

If these men died, she would never forgive herself.

She immediately began trauma care, plunging her Golden Needles into critical acupoints on Wang’s body, miraculously halting the arterial, bleeding in his chest.

Claire then slipped a potent medicinal pill into his mouth to stabilize his vitals.

As long as they got him to a surgical table soon, he would survive.

She then ripped open her medical kit and pulled out a scalpel.

Military medics didn’t have the luxury of sterile operating rooms on the battlefield, but they performed miracles anyway.

Tandy had told her endless stories of battlefield surgeries, and Claire knew that whatever Tandy could do, she could do too!
