Chapter 35

35 Preston Mountain Wild Beast

Steve Xavier was too lazy to respond to him.

Three minutes later.

A black helicopter from the southeast flew in a straight line and hovered in the sky. The whirlwind caused by the propeller exerted pressure upon the ground, causing sand and stones to fly.

The black-armored S97 helicopter was quite reliable and could reach a speed of 470 kilometers per hour.

It was not difficult to cover a distance of 20 kilometers in a few minutes.

The Preston team dealt with emergencies, and their ability to deal with emergencies was extremely important. The helicopter was undoubtedly the fastest tool to transport people.

“What the f*ck! He really got himself a helicopter!” The truck driver was dumbfounded.

The drivers around them were all dumbfounded. They had been treating him as a joke, but in the end, he was the one treating them like monkeys.

“Poverty really has limited my imagination!” A driver pouted.

“Idiot, do you really think you can order this helicopter around just because you have money? Look at the model of this helicopter, it’s a high-end S97 military helicopter. It’s something that can’t be bought with money!”

Someone warned them in a low voice to shut up. The person in the car might be a big shot, not someone they could offend.

The helicopter lowered a rope.

Steve and Braydon Neal left the car and quickly entered the helicopter by going up the rope.

In fact, they were ancient martial arts practitioners, so they could actually jump up in one leap.

However, in front of ordinary people, it was strictly forbidden to show off one’s super strength. This was also to avoid causing panic.

The black helicopter quickly took off and left. On the body of the helicopter, there was a symbol of a battle sword.

The symbol was the Northern King sword!

Just based on this symbol, everyone who knew should know that anyone who dared to stop the special operations team would be killed without mercy!

However, on this provincial road, in a white caravan, an old man with a white beard and Daoist robe whispered, “The symbol of the Northern King sword. The Preston team is moving out. I’m afraid something big has happened!”

“Grandpa, are we going?”

The innocent-looking girl next to him had her hair tied up in a ponytail, and she really wanted to go out.

“It’s better to stay out of the special operations team’s business!” The old man shook his head.

The father and daughter sat in the RV with peace of mind and chose to stay out of it.

The old man was going to Lamar city to visit an old friend, and he had brought his granddaughter along. He did not want to cause any trouble.

When the Preston team did things, those who dared to interfere were either ultimate experts or lunatics.

After all, the swords wielded by the members of the special operations team were merciless.

As for why this kind of special operations team did not carry guns, the answer would be found in the forest below.

The helicopter was extremely fast, flying straight into the forest in the southeast.

In the early years, due to over-logging and over-development of resources, the number of wild animals in the forest behind Preston had sharply decreased.

In the past five years, it was due to the government’s intervention that all logging was strictly prohibited, and pheasants and sparrows were listed as protected animals, so the sharp decline of wild animals was curbed.

The helicopter slowly landed on the vast lawn.

There were twelve people below. Other than the eight official members of the Preston team, there were four other unknown martial artists.

“What’s the situation?” Braydon asked, his hands behind his back.

“I’m sorry, but all of the Preston team’s actions are top secret. There’s no need to report to anyone!” The squad leader of the small team said solemnly.

Behind him, there was a team member who was seriously injured. The wound on his chest seemed to be caused by three sharp weapons, so deep that the bone could be seen, and blood was constantly flowing out.

“No need to hide anything. Just tell us!” Steve scolded.

“Yes, Sir!”

“At 7:30 this morning, the Preston TV station reported that seventeen tourists have gone missing in Preston Mountain. I suspected that something special had happened, so I led some people here to investigate the situation.” the squad leader said in a low voice.

“Tell us the important details. Luca is a beginner martial artist. Who injured him?” Steve did not want to hear any nonsense.

No matter how many tourists had gone missing in Preston Mountain, the Preston team’s rule was to pay blood for blood, and an eye for an eye.

If they hurt a member of the Preston team, they would have to pay with their lives!

The injured person was Luca. His wound was bleeding profusely as he said weakly, “Team leader, I’m... I’m sorry, I’m a burden!”

“Cut the crap and tell me the situation!”

Steve’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

The leader of the Preston team was not a kind person. The murderous look between Steve’s eyebrows proved that his hands had been stained with the blood of ancient martial artists.

“It was a giant black shadow that attacked me,” Luca said guiltily. “I didn’t have time to react and was thrown away by its claws!”

“Leader, it’s very likely a feline-type beast. It’s very fast, more than ten meters per second. Luca was behind me at that time, and I couldn’t even catch a trace of the murderer!”

The squad leader said honestly.

This was the purpose of the Preston team’s existence.

There were animals that could move at a speed of more than ten meters per second. What kind of concept was that?

With a distance of ten meters, he would be in front of them in the blink of an eye. Would firearms and pistols be of any use?

It was completely useless!

Before you could even aim, the other party would already be in front of you. You did not even have time to think.

In close combat, cold weapons were the king. This saying was true in the modern world.

...

Otherwise, why would the army give their soldiers daggers and other cold weapons?

When encountering this kind of special animal, it was impossible to aim at it from a distance of a hundred meters away. How amazing was the speed of ten meters per second? It was a domineering figure in the jungle.

Even if a hundred-man team of elite soldiers was transferred over, they would probably be buried in the belly of the beast.

It was common for the Preston team to deal with such matters. It was a high-risk mission, and they were there to protect ordinary people. It was completely understandable that they had special authority.

The Preston team’s work was to be avoided by all other departments. No interference was allowed.

Anyone who stood in their way would be killed without mercy!

It was this iron-blooded!

That was because the special operations teams in various places had suffered losses because of those who obstructed them. Ordinary people did not understand ancient martial artists, and they did not understand the responsibilities of the special operations teams.

Therefore, anyone who tried to stop them would be seen as an enemy by the Preston team.

“Ten meters per second! That’s warrior-level speed!” Steve looked serious.

Ten meters per second was the standard of measurement for ancient warriors.

...

At this stage, it was one of the standards to become a warrior.

There was another standard, and that was strength.

Steve frowned and said, “Take Luca and leave Preston Mountain. I’ll take over!

“It’s too late to leave now. They’ve already been targeted.”

Braydon put his hands behind his back and looked to the southwest calmly.

“Impossible! How could we not have noticed that fellow when it was around?” The squad leader shouted.

Whoosh!

A black shadow, with a few leaps, left its original position and disappeared again.

The squad leader immediately shut up, his face turning pale. He did not expect that fellow to be hiding right under their noses.

The distance between them was less than twenty meters, which meant that if that fellow wanted to attack, it would be in front of him in just over a second.

Such a short period of time was enough to kill them.

He had just walked one round before the gates of hell!

The squad leader looked at Braydon with more respect. He realized that this young man’s strength was probably above his!

But beside them, other than the eight members of the Preston team, there were four other people!

A girl in her prime had had enough. She shouted, “That’s enough. Is the Preston team all useless?”
