Chương 36: Chapter 37: Virtua Cop

[Target: The Blue Lagoon employee eliminated.] [Mission Complete.] [[Stream description Updated:]] [[Stream Title: Spector's Revenge: Target 2.]] [[Mission Parameters: The corrupt police officers' evidence that you recovered from the bank has led to their arrest and the subsequent charge of, but is a prison sentence really enough punishment for what they did?]] [[Missions Goal: Eliminate the corrupt police officer.]] Adam hovered high above the Alamo City Police Department headquarters so that he was not spotted while he waited for the prison transport to leave. [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): You know, having the ability to fly is so broken.] [Superhearofangirl (Earth): You're not wrong, look how quickly he can travel across the city, it's crazy.] [Justiceistruth: (Earth): I'm impressed with how he can maintain the quality when he zooms in over such a distance.] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): It must be a function of his armour's headgear.] [Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): Either that or his cybernetic implants in his eyes.] [SciFifanboy (Earth): Cybernetic implants? That's so SciFi.] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Oh, I think they're on the move.] The prison transport carrying Sarah Sanders left the police HQ and started travelling through the city as Adam followed it from above. [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): What are you waiting for, streamer? kekeke] [Solarianpride11 (Solarian 4): He's probably waiting for a quieter location to make his move.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Maybe he wants to see if anyone plans to actually hit the transport to get the corrupt cop, that's what my money is on.] Adam continued to follow the prison transport from high above as it slowly travelled across the city. Eventually, it left the city and sped up as it headed towards the Alamo City prison.

However, as the prison transport approached a blind turn, Adam saw a black van blocking the road ahead that was currently out of view of the prison transport. Stationed around the black van and using it for cover were two individuals in combat gear with their faces covered and carrying automatic weapons, while another two were hiding on either side of the road. [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Oh yeah, here we go. Kekeke.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Knew it, pay up, folks.] 💫💫💫 On the air force base near Alamo City, a uniformed officer knocked on a door that had a sign that read AFSPECWAR Commander before he heard the word "Enter" in an authoritative tone. The officer entered and closed the door behind him before marching towards the large desk in the room. After which, he stopped and he gave a salute as he said, "Marshal."

"At ease, Commodore." A man said as he sat behind his large desk that had a name plate on it reading 'Air Chief Marshal Peter Lancaster. Air Force Special Warfare Commander. As the commodore stood at ease, the marshal started to speak.

"Prep spec ops team Sierra seven for immediate deployment." The commodore looked surprised before asking, "What's the target and destination, sir?"

"The target is currently unknown. We have detected an unidentified flying object travelling at Mach five, and we need to identify it."

"Mach five? Surely it's just a hypersonic missile then, sir?" The commodore asked doubtfully.

"That's what radar control initially suspected, but then the target started operating erratically."

"Erratically, sir?"

"The target slowed down to match the speed of the chartered aircraft it was intercepting for around two minutes before resuming Mach five as soon as the hypersonic missile we launched to intercept it arrived."

"After that, the target slowed down again, suddenly allowing our missile to catch up before we lost contact with it." Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"With the target, sir?"

"No, with our missile, you fool."

"Sorry, sir."

"After we lost contact with our missile, the unidentified flying object intercepted the same chartered aircraft again before that aircraft seemed to enter into an uncontrolled dive, after which we lost contact with it."

"Search and rescue arrived at the last known location of the downed aircraft a short while ago, but only found what appeared to be parts of the chartered aircraft. The bulk of it likely sank, and all persons on board either died on impact or drowned."

"And the target, sir?"

"After the aircraft went down, the target is believed to have returned to Alamo City; however, we lost contact with it and suspect it dropped below detection range. However, it was detected again a short while ago, slowly leaving Alamo City in the direction of the Alamo City prison."

"I want Sierra seven to launch in a helo asap and track down the target before identifying and capturing it."

"And if they can't capture it, sir?"

"If they are unable to capture it, they have permission to destroy it; better that than letting our enemies have it."

"Understood, sir." 💫💫💫 [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): They look pretty well geared.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Streamer, give me a close-up of their weapons, please?] Since Adam was still observing the prison transport when he spotted the armed individuals, he got curious to see what would happen, so he had time to split his attention and pay attention to the chat. Seeing Gunlovergirl's request, Adam focused on each of the weapon-wielding individuals.

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Not bad, LWRCI | IC-MARKII automatic rifles with Beretta GTS sidearms.] [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Do you like to sell guns or something?] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Not quite, I'm a gun designer for Glock Ges. m. b. H.] [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Damn. whistling emoji.] [Whostolemyduck (Earth): So I have been wondering, why is the translation quality so good on this stream? I mean, we can't all be from the same country, and we even have individuals from other planets here, surely they have their own languages.] [Justiceistruth: (Earth): Yeah, I was also wondering that.] [Superior4horns (Vinox 3): It's probably because this stream is connected to the universal subspace network, which automatically translates any text and voice to the individual's native language.] [Superhearofangirl (Earth): Wow.] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): But Earth is not part of the universal subspace network, you can't even find out any information about it, you said.] [Superior4horns (Vinox 3): True, I can only guess that whatever way makes it possible for us to watch the streamer, makes it possible for the universal translator to work.] [SciFifanboy (Earth): Universal Translator, that's so SciFi.] [Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Focus people, they're about to meet.] The prison van proceeded around the corner as soon as it was within view of the armed individuals; the two on either side of the road shot out the van's tyres, forcing the driver to stop erratically. Adam could see the four individuals slowly approaching the van with weapons raised. He was too high to hear them, but he assumed they were giving orders because the driver of the prison transport got out with their hands up before proceeding towards one of the armed individuals, where they kneeled down.

After the driver, the passenger got out and also went towards an armed individual with their hands up before both were zip-tied and left on the ground. [Gunlovergirl (Earth): This looks like a professional job; they're well-trained and certainly no amateurs.] The armed individuals proceeded to the rear of the prison transport, where they placed something on the door before backing away. A few seconds later, a small flash, as if from an explosion, was seen before Adam and the stream heard a low bang.

[Justiceistruth: (Earth): They even have explosives.] [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): That's like some spy movie shit.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Micro explosives that are used for opening locks.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Are you like an expert in all things weaponry?] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): I'm good at my job.] After the small explosive went off, the armed individuals approached the back of the prison van again before pulling the door open, after which one went inside.

A few moments later, Sarah Sanders was dragged out of the van, still wearing ankle braces, before she was roughly thrown to the floor, after which one of the armed individuals raised the gun and shot her in the head. [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Well, that's…. Something.] [Whostolemyduck (Earth): Why do people keep randomly killing the people the streamer is targeting?] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Maybe it's like the Virtua Cop arcade game, where the more bad guys you kill, the better your score. Kekeke.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Considering how sick that is, it kinda makes sense.] [Justiceistruth: (Earth): So much for justice.] [Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Now what streamer? Are you just going to let them go?]"Hmmm, well, I mean my target is already dead, I mean I already got the mission complete announcement." [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Perhaps, but look at it another way, are you satisfied that someone stole your kill?] [Solarianpride11 (Solarian 4): Not everyone is as bloodthirsty as you, Deverinian.] [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): It's not about being bloodthirsty, it's about pride, little Solarian. Someone stole what was his; he should not let them get away with that.]"Honestly, I'm not particularly bothered either way; everything up until now was about revenge while these people have done nothing to me," Adam answered nonchalantly. As Adam was considering what to do, Spector suddenly spoke up.

[Target: The corrupt police officer Eliminated.] [Mission Complete.] [All targets eliminated. You are now qualified to become Spector's operator.]
