Chapter 348: Chapter: 348
"What!?"
Boom—!
Upon hearing the news reported by Johnny, the head of the security team, Norman Osborn slammed his desk.
Upon hearing this news, what he felt more than shock was concern and anger!
His concern was for Dr. Connors, who was researching the regenerative serum, and the danger he might be facing, jeopardizing the hope that the Osborn family had painstakingly built.
His anger stemmed from the audacity of someone attempting to seize the opportunity that could change the fate of their entire family. This was intolerable!
"Johnny, convey my orders. Your security department must spare no effort to control this creature, regardless of life or death! Do not let it leave the Osborn building premises, and keep the information from leaking out.
And, station guards at the entrances and exits of the ground floor lobby. No one from outside is allowed in, and no one from inside is allowed out. Make sure that every person in the building signs a confidentiality agreement.
Those who have seen the creature must be temporarily confined in a secure room. I need to speak with them individually.
For this operation, I authorize the use of the latest weapons from the Osborn Weaponry Lab. After the mission is complete, substantial bonuses will be rewarded based on contributions.
Furthermore, for any employees who sacrifice themselves in this mission, Osborn Group will ensure the well-being of their families, including medical care and education, in the future.
You do not need to worry about the aftermath. Be sure to give your all during this mission. The company believes in your abilities, and you must also trust the company and my reputation.
But remember, prioritize the rescue of Dr. Connors from the laboratory and the research results of the company's regenerative serum. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Mr. Osborn. Rest assured, our entire security department will go all out to complete the mission!"
Upon hearing the rewards and guarantees promised by Chairman Norman Osborn, Johnny's eyes lit up with excitement.
For him, this monster incident was both a crisis and an opportunity. Norman Osborn had assured them that even in sacrifice, there would be no worries for their families.
If things went smoothly, this achievement might lead to promotions and prosperity. They had a large number of people and the most advanced weapons. No matter how powerful that creature might be, it was still just flesh and blood.
People die, the world continues. Johnny decided that today he would take a gamble, striving for a bright future!
Wearing the most advanced protective gear and armed with the most powerful weapons and ammunition, Johnny, fully armed, gathered all the available security personnel within the company building around him.
"Guys, this is a great opportunity for us to shine. Whether we can make a big profit and live carefree days depends on how we perform today.
Mr. Osborn has spoken, and you all know your responsibilities. Apart from those who volunteered to guard the entrance, the rest of us will split into two teams. We'll go to the floor where the creature is and surround it from front and rear.
Remember, the most important thing is the safety of Dr. Connors and the research results of the regenerative serum. As for the creature, whether it lives or dies doesn't matter!"
As Johnny had said, today might be the only chance in their many years of life for them to turn things around and climb upwards. With so many people working together to confront a creature of flesh and blood, everyone had confidence in their victory.
More importantly, everyone believed deep down that even if there were casualties, among so many people, they wouldn't be the unluckiest ones.
With this mindset, the security team members, led by Johnny, set off with high morale and confidence toward the location of the Lizard.
...
"First team has reached the designated position. Second team, how's your situation? Over."
"Second team has arrived behind the target. Can we begin the operation? Please advise. Over."
"After I count down from three, the operation will officially commence. Maintain a safe distance, unleash all firepower, and don't give this creature a chance to escape the building.
Three!
Two!
One!
Go!"
As Johnny gave the order, both security teams raised their weapons, disengaged their safety mechanisms, and aimed their barrels at the Lizard.
Simultaneously, they showcased the results of their training beyond their normal routines. All members synchronously took small steps, dispersing around the Lizard to form a tight encirclement.
"Fire!"
With the formation set and no time given for the Lizard to react, Johnny shouted loudly to all members present. The tongues of fire gushed from the muzzles, instantly illuminating the entire space.
The roaring gunshots exploded in the ears of the crowd, and those with more acute hearing could even make out the muffled sounds of bullets penetrating flesh.
Ratatatata!
After almost a minute of continuous firepower, the security team members of both squads finally depleted their weapon ammunition. The space was engulfed in drifting smoke, making it difficult to discern the situation of the Lizard.
Despite this, for cautious measures, the team members began replacing their magazines from tactical belts around their waists, guarding against any unexpected occurrences.
In the now empty space, the tension was suffocating. At this moment, among the entire team, apart from the heavy breathing, the only other sound was the clicking sound of magazine replacements.
However, right at this moment, a new sound joined this symphony, making the already chilling atmosphere even more somber.
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~ Ding...
The clear sound of continuous metal collisions emanated from the center of the encirclement formed by the team members. More accurately, they could discern that this sound was the result of something like bullets falling from a height to the ground.
And at this moment, for such a sound to emerge from the center of the encirclement, there was only one possible explanation – the Lizard hadn't checked out, their intense barrage of firepower just moments ago hadn't been enough to take his life.
As the smoke gradually dispersed, the team members could finally make out the source of the commotion in the center of the encirclement.
There, where they had believed the Lizard had been dealt with by the intense gunfire, Lizard was using his long tongue to lick the remnants of blood on his body.
Simultaneously, muscles around wounds inflicted by the bullets were exerting force to push out the embedded bullets. Moreover, the wounds had completely healed in an instant, leaving no trace of injury.
It was only at this moment that Johnny and all the security department members participating in the mission began to feel that they had possibly made a wrong choice...
