Chapitre 179: Oreo Mission [1]
The drone sent from Bretagne would take some time to arrive, but everyone was surprised that such an unmanned military vehicle was being used in this operation.
"Zz... We are over your position, getting a closer look. Targets were found; there's a shelter less than five hundred meters from your position, showing images."
On the screen, a shelter appeared before their eyes, guarded by armed men, and it was clear that many people were living in that place.
"It can't be..."
A large shelter with numerous people had appeared in this area. Additionally, nothing could stop them from imagining that this group was the one who attacked Dominic's group.
"Zz... Central, what are your orders?"
"Zz. You need to wait, over."
"Isn't that shelter one of the main ones?"
"It wouldn't be; this must be another that's not on the list of important ones."
...
Time passed slowly, and the mission was confusing for many, but Jack knew exactly what they were doing here at this moment.
"Captain, look!"
A soldier, who had been paying close attention to the surrounding situation, immediately noticed the anomaly in the soldiers patrolling outside. When he saw a large group of people approaching, he ran to Jack and shouted.
Upon hearing the shout, Jack immediately straightened up, frowning deeply, not understanding what was happening.
At that moment, in the parking lot, they were the only convoy preparing to leave the area, and it was clear to everyone that this group of people might somehow be coming for them.
"Are we exposed?!"
This thought instantly crossed his mind but was quickly dismissed by him.
Jack had already made it very clear to others about the key points of this operation. If they were suddenly exposed before the commander's group arrived, it would be bad for everyone.
"They're coming directly toward us; they might have discovered us on the way to this place," said Emma nervously as she put on her gear.
"Listen up; the enemy knows where we are, but they don't know how many of us there are. That's our advantage! Plus, we have air support that can provide us with plenty of help to buy time and escape if things go south."
"Yes, sir."
Furthermore, he believed he had some understanding of these people's character from what he had seen so far.
Even Emma, who was part of the group, had been observing those people's behavior for at least three hours, and they had never done anything wrong.
"Now we just have to say that we're not enemies, and we're just passing through."
Seeing the gathered team approaching for unknown reasons, Jack couldn't help but feel nervous, and even his palms began to sweat.
The others weren't much better; everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do at this moment.
"Relax; they might not be here to catch us!"
Maybe because he noticed the changes in others, Jack thought to himself that he couldn't scare himself right now. He had to be even calmer at this moment, and he quickly made a sound to remind the others around him to be careful.
Hearing his soft shout, Emma and the others instantly recovered, adjusted their states immediately, and continued doing their own thing as if nothing had happened.
The car leading the convoy from that unknown shelter slowly stopped in front of the house where Jack and his team were, and the armed men stopped orderly on both sides, surrounding the front of the building where Jack was.
These actions put Jack's people on high alert, who were already holding their rifles on the second floor, ready to fire if there was any sign of an enemy attack.
Emma and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and quickly walked to stand behind Jack.
But no one noticed that when the convoy was surrounding the front of the building, the soldiers' faces were a bit nervous.
"Stay here, Emma; you and I will go."
Jack only took two people, including himself, and walked toward the door that was currently being knocked on.

After a while, a middle-aged Caucasian man in colorful clothing jumped out of a car when he saw the door open, casually glanced at the building, and walked towards Jack.
Jack observed the middle-aged man approaching him, noticed the colorful uniform the older man was wearing, and then realized that underneath that uniform were military badges, something Jack never thought this old man would have.
Although Jack was a bit surprised, it was only for a moment. After all, he was on a mission and had to act normally.
"It's good to see humans from time to time!"
When the old man approached him, Jack immediately made a friendly comment and then fell silent, waiting for the other party's next words.
With his hands behind his back, the middle-aged man glanced at Jack and then looked at Emma and the others standing behind him.
He didn't speak slowly until he saw the vigilance on the soldier's face behind Jack and said, "I'm Reginald, soldier. I've heard a rumor circulating in these streets, so my curiosity is very high. Who exactly are you?"
Not understanding why the other party would say such a thing, Jack replied expressionlessly and formally, "It seems you're confusing us with someone else, sir. We were just resting here before moving on. If anything has happened, I hope you don't mistake us for your aggressors."
"Well, I like what you're saying."
As if he didn't expect Jack to say that, Reginald nodded in satisfaction and said appreciatively, "It would be great if others thought like you, but there's a misunderstanding I want to resolve peacefully."
"Move out of the way, move out of the way."
At that moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd, and then five or six soldiers squeezed in from the outside. The leader was a short white man with a flat head named Julio, one of the people leading the group outside.
Julio had originally been dominant in the community he served.
It seems that not long ago, one of the squads under his command was attacked, and most of them were killed. Now, having just heard that a group was resting in this place, he came to ask some questions.
So, without even thinking, he rushed over with a few "loyal" men under his command.
"Hello, gentlemen, My name is Julio, and I live in a community not far from here."
Julio, who had arrived at the scene, saw Reginald.
Wanting to avoid more problems than they already had with other groups, and now seeing Julio's arrogance, having heard rumors that he had allied with a certain special group, Reginald frowned, his eyes full of disgust, but his voice didn't change at all.
"Is there something you need?"
Perhaps because he was used to being dominant in the past and was covered by his immediate superiors, Julio was very good at observing words and actions. The very cunning Julio, at this moment, seemed to see Reginald's expression and said, "I received information that eyes around me saw a strange group in this place, so I just came to see if it was safe."
Reginald didn't even look at Julio; he just glanced at him sideways. He didn't know how someone like him became a captain under someone else's command. It seems that after returning, he would have to have his people check on him for sure.
But since he came here today with a mission, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he said lightly, "We live in the same community, but you should focus on your work and not cause me any more problems."
"What?"
Julio didn't expect his "good intentions" to be so obvious to the other party. He should know that when he played arrogantly, Reginald didn't say anything. But now, is it different because his group was almost wiped out?
"Sir, you don't need to be polite with these unknown men. After all, we don't know if they're friendly or our enemies. Nowadays, we must be careful with strangers."
Jack didn't expect Julio to be so obsessive about causing trouble after seeing Reginald's clear attitude of rejection, and he thought these people weren't bad.
"It seems you didn't take my words seriously!" Julio was a man who killed people, or so the rumors said in the community they belonged to. But after all, the only reason he led was because of his brutality. But now he had lost power since his group was mostly eliminated.
With enough enemies, Reginald didn't want more trouble with unknown forces. "Captain Julio, you're really a man with a lot of guts!"
Hearing that cold voice, Julio shuddered all over, and his mind instantly returned to its senses. Looking at the solemn situation around him, he suddenly realized how stupid his behavior was at this moment.
Pretending a bit of reason, he faked being calm, forced a small smile, placed his palm on his chest, rubbed it back and forth several times, and said, "Sir, you're not seeing the real situation we're in. I'll leave right away."
As he said that, he raised his gaze and looked coldly at Jack.
"They told you to leave!"
Seeing that Julio had made his own decision, Reginald, who originally just wanted to give him a small lesson, became angrier. The group of armed men looked at each other and all nodded.
Hearing the voice behind him, Julio, who originally wanted to gather more information about these people that Reginald was visiting so openly, turned around and said, "Sir, we don't know them; it could be danger... Wait! What are you doing?"
But before Julio could finish speaking, two men standing next to Reginald had already approached him, each grabbing his arm and pressing his body down without any explanation.
The force used was so great that Julio, who usually boasted about enduring pain, immediately screamed, his legs went weak, and he directly rolled to the ground with a thud.
