Chapter 300: Hogger's bloodline begins to awaken; the Black Shields mobilize in full force to hunt down the 13th block.
"What!" The dangerous aura on Hogg's face instantly dissipated.
His gaze then shifted to the item in Carmen's hand. A deep, soul-stirring attraction made him vanish from his spot on the spot.
In the next second, he had appeared right in front of Carmen, snatching the pendant away.
Looking at the sharp fang in his hand, waves of primal impulse from his bloodline made Hogg's blood feel like it was boiling.
*Howl~*
It was as if he could hear the ancestral wolf's howl from the very depths of his soul.
His skin began to writhe and fold, hair started to grow and turn gray, and his skin tone began to change.
But all these transformations quickly vanished after Hogg snorted coldly.
"This thing..."
Hogg's fingers stroked the tooth, his heart understanding that this was absolutely a treasure of paramount importance to him.His gaze slowly lifted, his voice hoarse and trembling with excitement.
"Where did you get this..."
Carmen had observed every change in Hogg's expression with perfect clarity.
In fact, all of Hogg's expressions the moment he took the pendant had been continuously screenshotted and transmitted to Yu Yuan by Carmen.
Extremely detailed and clear.
Hearing Hogg's question, Carmen immediately recited the story he had prepared on the way back.
"Chief, I just received a tip from my informant. The type of individuals that appeared in District 13 half a month ago have shown up again..."
Hogg's pupils constricted, his stare fixed on Carmen.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Chief, there's no mistake. Skin deathly pale like a corpse, sharp teeth... and..." Carmen pointed at the fang pendant in Hogg's hand. "This is the evidence. This tooth was found by my informant after the other party left. He notified me the moment he got his hands on it."
Hearing Carmen's words, the last shred of doubt in Hogg's heart completely vanished.
Because this pendant couldn't be faked, and Carmen absolutely could not know about his own condition.
Or rather, the changes that had been occurring in Hogg's body recently weren't even known to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, let alone Carmen.
Therefore, the information Carmen received must be true.
If that's the case...
Feeling the throbbing and the desire to hunt surging from the depths of his bloodline and soul.
Hogg suddenly felt his gums itch terribly, with an overwhelming urge to bite and crush something for relief.
A bloodthirsty desire spread through Hogg's heart.
He looked at Carmen and said in a deep voice, "When was that person discovered?"
Carmen checked the time.
"About half an hour ago..."
"Confirmed to be in District 13?"
"Confirmed! Even if they've left, they definitely haven't gone far. I've already ordered the team to assemble. We will definitely catch that guy."
Upon hearing this, a ferocious smile appeared on Hogg's face.
"No..."
"That's not enough..."
Hogg looked at Carmen.
"Notify everyone. Except for those on guard duty, everyone else is to... mobilize! You have full command. I only want one result: not a single mosquito is to escape from District 13..."
"Commander Carmen, is that understood?"
The temperature in the room instantly turned icy.
*Snap—*
Carmen stood at attention and saluted.
"Yes!"
As Carmen left, Hogg also walked to the window, giving a slight nod to several of his trusted aides waiting for orders below.
Carmen arrived on the first floor, standing on the steps, looking down at all the thugs below.
"The Chief has ordered that except for personnel on guard duty, everyone is to enter combat readiness and prepare to depart."
Carmen checked the time.
"You have only 10 minutes."
This time, the entire Black Shield Police Department was in motion.
The scale of this operation surpassed any previous one.
If any other faction were to attack the Black Shield Police Department headquarters at this moment, they would absolutely hit the jackpot.
How could Hogg not be aware of this? But compared to the enhancement of his own power, he didn't care anymore.
Watching the thugs below making preparations at full speed.
He slowly put the fang pendant around his neck.
The moment the pendant was worn, an unprecedented sense of power flooded Hogg's entire being.
"Ugh..."
Hogg's body instantly swelled up, his bulging muscles nearly bursting through his clothes.
*Howl~~~*
It was as if Hogg heard that distant wolf's howl once more.
With this howl, he could feel streams of a peculiar energy beginning to surge from the depths of his body. This energy felt incredibly comfortable, warm, and was slowly transforming his body.
Powerful!
Unparalleled power.
Feeling his body, which seemed to have been reborn in an instant, Hogg understood clearly. He didn't need to search for any mechanical augmentation technology at all.
He only needed to fully develop the potential of the bloodline within him, and that would be enough to make him incomparably powerful.
And as long as he possessed absolute power.
Authority, wealth, territory, subordinates... wouldn't they all be within easy reach?
"Hmph... Carmen... you truly are my lucky star!"
Soon, everyone at the Black Shield Police Department was fully prepared, and Hogg walked out of the building.
Seeing Hogg appear, all the thugs were momentarily stunned.
They hadn't expected the Chief to personally lead this operation.
Hogg looked at the assembled thugs, ready for action.
After scanning the crowd, his aloof voice rang out:
"Today's operation target is District 13. Everyone is to follow Carmen's command."
Hearing Hogg's words, the thugs below all had a change in expression, glancing at each other.
This was the Chief publicly endorsing and acknowledging Carmen's status.
They all looked at Carmen with even more complex expressions, including the Enforcers who had once been Carmen's colleagues.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't understand how this colleague of theirs, who was on the same level just a month ago, had now become the second-in-command of the Black Shield Police Department.
Yes, the second-in-command.
This was the message Hogg was conveying to everyone.
Previously, the second-in-command of the Black Shield Police Department was Commander Lao Ke. Now, the times had finally changed.
Seeing the expressions on the thugs' faces, Hogg narrowed his eyes, and a cold voice sounded.
"Is that understood?"
A wave of savage, bloodthirsty killing intent condensed over the entire police department, making all the thugs shudder involuntarily.
"Understood!"
Everyone roared with all their might.
"Hmph—"
Only then did Hogg look at Carmen and give a slight nod.
"Move out!"
"Yes!"
After the Black Shield Police Department convoy drove out of the station, it headed straight for District 13.
The personnel left behind at the Black Shield Police Department immediately activated all defensive fortifications, armed all landmines, raised road barriers...
15 minutes remained until the invasion war.
The convoy had already entered District 13. Hogg, sitting in the armored command vehicle, looked at Carmen.
"Begin!"
Carmen gave a slight nod and immediately issued orders to all thugs via radio.
"Now implementing the lockdown of District 13. Commencing lockdown deployment. Enforcer Mark's squad is responsible for the Firwood Street area at the border between District 14 and District 13. Enforcer..."
As Carmen issued orders one by one, the Enforcer squads receiving their commands immediately set off for their assigned sectors...
The [Jackal] squad was kept by Carmen near the command vehicle, along with the armed armored vehicle squad.
Soon, all squads were in position. District 13 was completely isolated from other districts by the Black Shield Police Department.
Heavy machine guns, autocannons, artillery, RPG rocket launchers, grenade launchers—all heavy weapons were prepared and ready.
Carmen also issued the final command to everyone.
"All squads, attention. The mission target is humanoid creatures within District 13. Their skin is deathly pale without any color, teeth are sharp, and bodies are emaciated. Upon encountering a target or any suspected target, report to me immediately. Prioritize capture. If they resist, eliminate them on the spot."
"Repeat, all squads..."
After all squads received and confirmed understanding of the orders, Carmen let out a sigh of relief.
His gaze shifted to the time.
Only 3 minutes remained until the enemy invasion.
After double-checking the layout once more.
He finally sent a message to Yu Yuan.
