"We sort out the goods in the desolate area. Those selected will be sent to the next village. Genome Society has a laboratory within that village," Quinton replied.
He then looked at us and gritted his teeth. 'But I'll advise you not to go. The entire village benefited from Genome Society's laboratory, and it has formed a chain of interest. Many abducted young women would also be sent there, and they would receive a handsome reward if chosen.
"As such, the villagers would choose to protect Genome Society. You won't be able to make it out if you rush in."
Education and legal awareness among the villagers of such rural areas were already scarce. Coupled with the entrenched influence of Genome Society, any outsiders coming to investigate would be viewed as obstructing their source of income. The villagers would surely rise up in resistance.
Quinton was right. It would be dangerous to rush in.
"Why don't you bring us in, then?' I smiled.
Quinton snorted. "I would never do that. I'll be dead either way-they'll kill me for crossing them."
Eason leaned against the door of the car. "You might be able to earn significant credit for your case if you help us out."
Quinton frowned. He was indeed afraid to die. The bunch of them were just a bunch of lunatics who enjoyed the thrill of killing, but they turned into cowards once the tables turned against them and they were now the prey.
"Think about it carefully," I threatened him once again.
Quinton remained silent while the others carefully watched him. They were all waiting to see his stance. "Help! Lyla is now in shock!" Several women were crying out for help on the other side. The woman with the leg injury had gone into shock from excessive bleeding.
Frowning, I swiftly made my way over.
There was a doctor in Zion's team who administered a shot to her. However, the on-site medical conditions were just too limited.
"We need to send her to the hospital, Officer Landon.' The doctor looked at Eason and Zion nervously.
"Go to the hospital now, and bring the women with you. Don't settle for the village clinics nearby -just head back." Zion urged them to get into the car.
Taking advantage of our confusion, Quinton and the others exchanged glances and shoved the officers guarding them away. They then swiftly helped the injured people into the car and sped away.
Zion cursed and was about to go after them when I stopped him.
"They haven't been pushed to the brink yet." I looked around at the darkening sky. "The car they got into reeks of blood, and the wolves have now caught up with them after trailing for the entire day."
We could see that the wolf pack had indeed caught up with them from a distance.
I said, "They need gas for their car, but they won't be able to make it to the next gas station."
I had burned through quite some gas by driving wildly earlier. They wouldn't be able to go even the extra mile if they were to go according to their schedule.
Zion instructed the three other police cars to escort the other women back first.
I looked at Maya and asked, "Are you willing to come with us? We're going to find out the transaction location of those demons and rescue more of their victims.
Maya's face was pale in terror. She nervously asked, "Can you guarantee my safety?"
I fell silent. We couldn't guarantee her safety after all.
Zion kept quiet for a bit before saying, "Just let her leave."
Maya nervously turned to leave, but she stopped just as she was near the car. She then turned around and came back. "I'll go with all of you."
I looked at her. 'Aren't you afraid? It'll be equally dangerous at the scattered villages beyond the desolate area." They might block our path, demand money, or even resort to violence. There were too many hidden dangers out there, not to mention the fact that we were going to look for Genome Society.
"I want to help you in saving the others,' Maya replied seriously.
I looked at Zion, letting him make the final decision
"You need to consider it carefully. It'll be dangerous," Zion reminded her again.
Maya said, "I'm aware that it's dangerous. My mom used to tell me that there's no such thing as a free lunch. No one would help us out and give us pocket money without any reason.
"Not only did they invite us out to play and give us money to spend, butthey even sent gifts during our livestreams. I knew they had ulterior motives. I just didn't expect that they wanted to kill us."
