—This is Albatross Nine! Respond, Falcon Eight! Respond! Falcon Eight!0

Kendrick’s face hardened like a statue as he stared in shock at his walkie-talkie.0

Chaotic noises were blasting out of this communication device!0

This high-end walkie-talkie supposedly supported more than three channels of simultaneous communication. However, it still couldn't deal with the flood of incoming transmission!0

With far too many devices trying to transmit simultaneously, nobody was getting anything through properly to the other side!0

‘What the hell is going on here?!’0

At least one thing was for certain now. The agent code names and numbers were getting “closer” to the HQ. The initial radio communication might have come from the edges of the forest, but it was getting closer and closer to the center with every passing second!0

In that case, what happened to the sentries posted near the edges of the forest?0

Kendrick subtly bit his lip. There was no need to even guess. It could mean only one thing if a man yelling into his walkie-talkie suddenly couldn’t do that anymore!0

At the very least, that agent must be out of action, unable to continue. Objectively speaking, though… Killed in action seemed most likely!0

‘Dammit! I can only pray that they are still alive!’0

—This is Alpha!0

Kendrick snapped out of his grim thoughts and stared tensely at his walkie-talkie. This transmission had come from the command center.0

—All guard personnel, converge on Eagle One’s position right now! I repeat, all personnel, converge on Eagle One’s position! Hurry...0
