World War I

Chapter 165 Spare Tire
"Chris is done, don't blame yourself. You did your best."

Knuckles left the Kursk Town Police Station with a gloomy face. When he got into the car, his legs were completely powerless.

"Sonia, will you be in charge of the police department's finances?"

Sonya glared at Luo Ye and said, "Do you think you're Chris's backup? I won't do that. I don't plan on doing any dirty things with you in bed. Go find your aunt. She's suitable."

Turgenev chuckled but didn't laugh.

His mental balance is getting better and better now. It is not surprising that an army of 800 people cannot catch a freak weaker than Product No. 1 and the Hellfire Special Police Team is almost wiped out.

At the current Kursk Town Police Station, Chris was arrested, Panzi died in the line of duty, Fyodor was imprisoned, and the whereabouts of forensic doctor Sim and trace expert were unknown. Sheriff Luo is having a huge headache.

Chief Knuckles wanted to transfer a few more police officers from the county police station to the town police station, but no one was willing to come. They would rather resign than die at the Kursk Town Police Station.

Starting with Chief Taki, the death rate among officers in this town's police department is terrifyingly high.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Luo Ye gathered the police officers in the town police station for a meeting in the conference room.

The Doctor also attended the meeting, but Yekalinan did not. Like the Doctor, she was a unique existence in the police station. She was not a police officer, but everyone had the same goal, to catch Product No. 1.

But now there's an American super soldier who specifically targets the town police department, which is troublesome.

This was the first time that Luo Ye had held a formal meeting since he became the police chief. In the past, he was always invited to meetings by others, so he was not used to presiding over the meetings.

"Everyone, we all know the current situation. The American super soldiers are watching us——"

Luo Ye spoke some empty words here and there, without any passion or grammar. He was not in the mood to give a speech, and his speaking skills were just so-so. Chris's experience would make him feel guilty for a long time, and no matter from which perspective, Luo Ye would not forgive himself.

He suddenly realized that he actually had some emotional foundation for Chris, even though the relationship between Chris and Luo Ye was more of a transactional one. When he thought of her white body and—

Luo Ye felt a tightness in his chest, difficulty breathing, and a little dizzy.

"From now on, when responding to patrols, you should work in pairs. Irina and Sonya will be in one team, and Stanislav, you and One-Eye will be in one team. Never respond or act on your own. That thing is very powerful, so everyone be careful."

Stanislav: "Captain, this is not right. It would be safer to have a combination of male and female police officers."

Sonya gave Stanislav a sidelong glance. "The people at the county police station are of poor quality. They're just trying to get by. I'd better go with Irina."

One-Eye looked listless and sickly.

"Panzi and Chris are unlucky. Who's next? Oh, and it's almost certain that Sim and Russia's most famous trace expert were also taken away by that thing. It's also possible that both of them have now turned into hairy wolf-headed monsters."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Ye and asked, "Can I choose to resign?"

"Are you planning to quit?"

The one-eyed man smiled and gritted his teeth.

"You won't resign, One-Eye. You and the plate are brothers. In this respect, you are very similar to Turgenev."

Turgenev grinned: "Can he compare with me?"

One-Eye rolled his eyes at Turgenev, not wanting to argue with him. The doctor said, "The addition of super soldiers is indeed a very troublesome matter, but please don't forget that Andre gave Chief Luo Ye the authority to mobilize an army to assist the police department."

Luo Ye angrily cursed, "Forget about the fucking army. 800 people can't catch a single person. It's so shameful. If I were that battalion commander, I'd just take off my uniform and become a civilian. What's the point of staying in the army?"

A man walked into the meeting room. Colonel Clay Hoover: "Sheriff, are you talking about me?"

Luo Ye was about to explain when Colonel Clay Hoover snorted and left in anger.

Turgenev laughed at him, "Sheriff, you have offended the leader of the military guard battalion because of your big mattress."

Sonya and Irina stared at him like she-wolves. "What is a big wave mattress? Explain it clearly."

The Colonel knew he had spoken out, especially after what had happened to Chris.

He immediately looked out the window, saying nothing and making no rebuttal.

"Go on, Stanislav, are you really sure that the truck driver stayed in his rental house last night?"

"Yes, we saw him go in, but we didn't see him come out. We were keeping full surveillance from three directions. Furthermore, the apartment manager also said that Tom Hiddleston hasn't left the apartment since returning. The light in his room was always on, and he was inside. Through the window curtains, we saw a tall figure inside."

The one-eyed man said, "I don't think he should be the super soldier. He can't slip away from under the noses of the three of us."

Sonya frowned.

"Sonia, do you have a different opinion?"

"I don't know. I don't know what to say. I have a feeling it was him, but I have no evidence. He seemed to have stayed in his room all night. We surrounded the apartment. No matter which direction he came out from, we would have seen him, unless he could dig a hole and escape through it."

"We can't be careless. The colonel saw Mark's skills with his own eyes. His movements are incredible, like a monkey."

"What should I do?"

"Continue to monitor him until all suspicions about him are cleared. I trust your seventh sense. If he escapes this time, it will be even harder to catch him next time. Leave this to One-Eye and Stanislav. If that guy really is a super soldier, he's essentially handing these two female police officers over to him for slaughter."

One-Eye: "Then it is natural for us to be slaughtered?"

"That's not what I meant. Don't overthink it. Just do it, now. Dismiss the meeting. That's all for today."

The meeting ended hastily. Luo Ye came to the door of the pharmacy laboratory and pushed it. As usual, the door was not locked. He pushed half of the door open and saw Yekalin's back. He wanted to push the remaining half of the door open, but when he reached the door, he couldn't remember what to say to her.

He closed the door gently. Yekalinan looked back at the door, shook her head, and continued to work at her desk. She seemed to have endless things to write.

Luo Ye left the pharmacy laboratory and saw the doctor feeding the sheep.

After he fed the sheep, the two walked aside.

"Any progress?"

"Not yet. This sheep seems to have noticed that we are observing it and is pretending to be a stupid sheep. This is quite surprising. The function of the white spider produced by Product No. 1 is terrifying."

"Okay, keep staring. Maybe we can find some clues from the sheep. Mark ran away without a trace."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on what happened between Chris and Officer Pan. From an elder's perspective, I'll talk about this. Sheriff, you need to calm down."

"Yes, I will."

A helicopter suddenly appeared above the police station and circled several times. The pilot wanted to park the helicopter in the yard, but his skills were not good enough, so he had to park the helicopter in the open space outside.
