Chapter 177 Rescue
Carl ultimately chose ten main gowns and twenty dresses. The one he liked best was a halter-neck gown with a hollow back, several thin diamond chains connecting the neck and waistline, and matching diamonds adorning the hem. The hem was a fishtail-style tulle, which didn't make her look too dreadful.
The other dresses also had simple chest designs and fluffy hems. There was a slim-fitting one. He imagined how she would look in it in his mind, and his lower body reacted, and then he secretly added it in.
In the evening, several men were having a meeting. Zong Fang saw the slim-fitting dress that Karl had chosen and immediately frowned. He glanced at Karl, who pretended not to see it.
On the other end of the video call, Liberi and Luka promised to rush to the Freedom Alliance as soon as possible. The men agreed on a date for the ceremony, but beyond that, no one mentioned the young man.
Osland.
Luka, wearing a military uniform and white gloves, was concentrating on cleaning the gun in his hand. Liberi stood behind him and asked, "Have you really decided?"
"Um."
Liberi continued to persuade him, "We tried last time, and none of our men returned. The Federation has been alerted. If you go again this time, they'll only be more vigilant and won't let you get him out. You might even get yourself into trouble."
"I know," Luka replied calmly. He quickly loaded his gun, took aim, and after confirming it was correct, he tucked the gun back into his waistband. He turned to Liberi and said, "We've already concealed Sui Sui. We have to at least give her an explanation. Besides, I promised to help him once."
Liberi was speechless, understanding his feelings. He knew Luka was worried that Sui Sui would blame them for not saving Anubis. Although they had found the place where Anubis might be imprisoned, the security there was too strict.
"What are you going to do?" Libery asked.
Luka projected the electronic map onto the table and pointed at a few key points. "This is the Federation's command center. Their defense starts from here and progresses layer by layer. Your people will create a false target to attract their attention."
He continued to explain, "At the same time, my men will be divided into two groups. One group will be responsible for creating chaos and attracting the attention of most of the guards; the other group, led by me, will enter the prison area."
Liberi pondered for a moment and said, "This is too risky. Are you sure you can do it?"
"There's an insider," Luka said calmly, pointing to a spot on the map. "He'll meet me here. As long as I can successfully infiltrate, he can take me to where Anubis is imprisoned."
A hint of surprise flashed in Liberi's eyes. He didn't ask who the accomplice was, but finally nodded.
As night falls, the air is filled with tension.
With a loud bang, flames shot up into the sky, and alarms rang throughout the entire Federal Central Base. Federal guards quickly moved and rushed to the explosion site.
"Get ready," Libery whispered through the headset.
Meanwhile, the commandos led by Luka quickly crossed the perimeter, avoiding the main guard force. Everything went smoothly according to plan, even a little too smoothly.
Luka and his men cooperated tacitly. With a few gestures, the team was divided into two teams, each covering the other.
After passing through several security gates, Luka finally arrived at the meeting place with the insider.
A faceless figure was already waiting there. His features looked as if they had been worn away: no eyebrows, no nose bridge, only two eye holes and nostrils. His upper and lower lips were sewn together, looking neither human nor ghost. The figure was dressed in the uniform of a Federal Guard. Upon seeing Luka, he placed his unlocking card in the crack of the security door and turned to leave.
Luka carefully looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he picked up the magnetic card and swiped open the last door.
The place was a dark, damp dungeon, the air thick with the stench of decay and mold. Luka continued inside, and at the end of the darkness, he finally found the place where Anubis was imprisoned. Through the bars, he saw a young man, chained around his neck, huddled in a corner, half his body submerged in the icy water, his body covered in scars and bruises. His eyes were hollow, clearly showing signs of severe torture.
Sensing someone approaching, the young man raised his head in alertness, a glint in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear and hostility. He began to struggle frantically, growling like an enraged beast.
Luka frowned upon seeing this.
What on earth did he go through?
Luka walked up and quickly opened the cell door, trying to take him away.
But Anubis's body swelled rapidly, his bones creaking, the muscles beneath his skin hardening and strengthening, and hair rapidly growing out, covering his entire body. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a wolf, his eyes turning blood red, flashing with madness, filled with primitive savagery and a desire to kill.
Luka quickly retreated, knowing that Anubis before him had almost no consciousness or awareness. He tried to calm the boy down, "Calm down. I'm here to get you out of here."
However, Anubis's only response was a low roar. He arched his back, dropped to all fours, and tensed his muscles like an arrow ready to be released. He pounced on Luka, so fast that it was almost impossible to react.
Luka quickly dodged sideways, feeling the sharp claws brushing against his shoulder, causing a stinging sensation. He immediately drew his pistol and aimed at Anubis, but hesitated and stopped in the next instant.
If you shoot him, Sui Sui will be sad.
In the moment of hesitation, Anubis attacked again, this time using his powerful hind legs to slam into the ground, his entire body crashing towards Luka like a boulder. Luka rolled over, avoiding the fatal blow, but the immense force still caused a tightness in his chest.
Luka quickly scanned his surroundings, searching for anything he could use. He noticed an iron rod in the corner and quickly rushed over to grab it, facing Anubis, who had already lunged at him again. He used the rod to block Anubis's claws, but the immense force still forced him back a few steps.
"Anubis, stop!" Luka shouted softly, trying to awaken the boy's consciousness.
Anubis paused for a moment, the madness in his eyes seeming to fade a little, but soon became even more violent. He roared and attacked again, his sharp teeth digging into Luka's throat.
The iron rod seemed to be a signal, making Anubis even more manic. The blood red in his eyes became deeper, and he opened his bloody mouth towards Luka.
Meanwhile, Kanbukun.
"Luka!" Qiao Susu woke up from her dream and looked out the window. The wind blew up the gauze curtain and gently fell on her. When the wind blew, she realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat.
Zongfang woke up the moment he heard her scream, sat up with her, and hugged her to comfort her.
"Qiao Qiao, I'm here. It's okay, it was just a dream."
Is it a dream?
But the scene was so real.
"Is Luka in danger?" Qiao Suisui nervously tugged at Zongfang's sleeve, her eyes moist. "He seems to be in a dark and damp place. Zongfang, when will Luka come to see us?"
