Chapter 1389: Kids Are Easy to Trick, and the Abnormal Shredder
Suddenly, there was a long beeping sound, which went from slow and low to urgent and high-pitched.
The researchers and combat soldiers present didn’t pay much attention to it. Sacks thought that it was the sound of equipment being activated.
The four little turtles, however, were raring to go. Luke’s voice rang out in their ears. “Ready to activate electromagnetic interference. Total duration: 180 seconds. We’ll try to finish cleaning up during this time, copy?”
The little turtles: “Copy that.”
Although they weren’t used to the virtual screen which appeared in front of each of them, the profile info for both sides and the distribution of combat targets provided were very useful functions.
They all knew their respective roles and what they needed to get done.
The 70 to 80 criminals who were scattered around looked like pizzas on the virtual screen, ready to be cut apart.
At the height of the beeping, the criminals on the scene finally felt that something wasn’t right. Why did the machine sound like a countdown?
The sound suddenly stopped, and several stun grenades exploded in the middle.
The scene instantly turned into chaos.
Caught off guard, the researchers were blinded, and some of the criminals covered their eyes and screamed.
Some of the criminals, on the other hand, were already retching, dizzy and nauseated from the stun grenades.
Before the stun grenades exploded, Splinter had already followed instructions and closed his eyes to avoid the flash.
The loud noise made him uncomfortable, but the stun grenades were a little further away from his position, and the effect faded a few seconds later.
At that moment, Splinter realized that he had flown out of the encirclement and landed on a steel beam above the warehouse.
With two clicks, the metal shackles on his hands and feet were released. Splinter nodded at Luke and thanked him. “Thank you for your help.”
Luke casually threw away the shackles and gestured at him in a low voice. “We’ll be spectators. Your disciples are pretty good at combat.”
The little turtles in the armor were reinvigorated by the notification that their teacher had been rescued.
The fury they had held back earlier was turned into a fierce onslaught. Weapons, big feet, and turtle sh.e.l.ls fell like a storm on the members of the Foot Clan; each of the turtles had to break at least a few bones before they stopped.
However, even Leo didn’t use his two blades to kill. Instead, he used the hilts and his armor to smash his opponents.
Luke could only accept this behavior.
This was Batman’s M.O. as well. Naturally, he couldn’t jump out and demand that the little turtles kill all of them.
The experience and credit points from these criminals were nothing.
System: Mutant turtles Leo, Raphael, Mikey, and Donnie have pa.s.sed the system evaluation to become 1-star teammates.
Just as he rescued Splinter and had the little turtles take action, this system notification popped up.
Clearly, the little turtles were very… pure.
They had only known each other for a few days, but he had already given them a few boxes of cheese pizzas and spare parts for armor. Coupled with the fact that he had saved their master this time, he actually gained this much trust.
He couldn’t say that it was a pleasant surprise, because it felt a little like he was tricking kids.
Moreover, what they cared about the most was their master; Batman just happened to be there.
Luke had confidence in his other 1-star teammates, but not in these four little turtles. They were still immature and trusted others so easily!
The “turtle tanks” unleashed a storm of attacks, and didn’t stop until the countdown was over.
They had no choice but to stop. They were already stepping on some of the unlucky b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who had fallen.
At Luke’s signal, Leo came over, put Splinter on his back, and walked out. Donnie picked up his teacher’s suit, and the other two retreated.
Luke walked over and picked up Sacks and Karai, who had been taken down at the very beginning with paralytic darts, before he left. He didn’t even bother to look at the survivors in the warehouse.
These people had done a lot of bad things and were already on record. It would be best if the Ghost Butcher could make them disappear when he had the time.
By the time he came out of the warehouse, the little turtles had already left with their master.
After being in New York for half a year, Luke had prepared dozens of safe houses. He would give each of them one.
Many safe houses had underground pa.s.sageways to make going in and out easy, as well as bas.e.m.e.nts where they could hide.
Putting Sacks and Karai away in s.p.a.ce 2, Luke quickly returned to the seaside villa and began to interrogate the two bosses.
It only took half an hour for them to confess everything, but the information wasn’t very useful.
Karai was mainly responsible for the daily operations of the Foot Clan, and was also in charge of helping Sacks out, but didn’t know much.
Unexpectedly, however, Karai said that she had known Sacks since years ago in j.a.pan, and that Shredder had even groomed Sacks when he was younger.
It seemed that in this criminal organization which was a collaboration between a gang and a business corporation, Shredder was the real boss, Sacks was the second-in-command, and Karai was third at most.
Luke’s complexion was dark after he interrogated Sacks.
Not only were those skinny monsters the product of secret lab experiments by Sacks Industries, Shredder was also preparing to carry out a large-scale real combat experiment in New York.
When Luke heard this, he felt that Sacks and Shredder were genuinely deranged. Was this something that could be tested in New York? This was practically a terrorist attack.
However, Sacks said that this experiment was initially meant to be carried out on a small scale in New York, in the sewers between Queens and Brooklyn which were under Sacks’s control.
Finding out about the little turtles a few days ago had been a pleasant surprise.
The skinny monsters had too many flaws; their only advantage was that they were cheap.
However, if they obtained the mutagen that was in the little turtles’ bodies, they might be able to create a new product line with normal brains and mental acuity, as well as normal-looking appearances.
Luke couldn’t help but curse inwardly. If they had normal human forms, wouldn’t the new models be super soldiers?
Harboring this hope, Saks hadn’t wanted to do a large-scale experiment; a small-scale experiment would produce enough experimental data.
However, Shredder ordered him to do as he was told, and make a big wave in New York. That way, they could attract buyers.
Sacks had always been under Shredder’s control, and had done too many bad things. He couldn’t refuse, and could only agree.
But he still tried to convince Shredder to wait until he caught the little turtles and obtained the mutagen first.
At that time, they would be able to wipe their tracks in advance. Everything that the skinny monsters did would be attributed to unknown terrorists, and would have nothing to do with Sacks.
After the interrogations, Luke immediately called Phil and gave him the information.
At the same time, his clone immediately checked Sacks Industries’ database for relevant evidence.
