Horrifying Truth
Long Island, New York.
Mr. Deakin drove a white pickup truck along the road, calmly observing his surroundings.
Although Adam was highly skilled, he was not suspended very close to the ground.
But he was quickly discovered by Mr. Deakin, who had the bearing of a war god.
Then he began to accelerate his efforts to get rid of Adam.
After turning a few streets, he realized it was all wishful thinking.
So he immediately changed tactics and drove out of the city, glancing at Adam in the rearview mirror from time to time.
"Kate, where are you?"
Adam asked over the phone, "He fled to the suburbs."
"We'll catch up soon."
As soon as Kate finished speaking, Adam's keen hearing detected the sound of a helicopter's fan blades rapidly approaching from afar.
That's right!
Kate took matters into her own hands and deployed police helicopters.
Mr. Deakin quickly realized the big trouble and decisively drove off the road, heading straight into the woods.
He's not Adam, and he's not driving a sports car.
Trying to outrun a police helicopter on the main road is pure fantasy.
"Hurry up!"
Adam warned, "He's gone into the woods."
He was driving a sports car, but the chassis was too low, making it very inconvenient to navigate through the woods.
Fortunately, he didn't care about the car, had good eyesight, and God-tier Driving Skills, so there weren't any problems for the time being.
"I see you."
Kate exclaimed.
Then Adam saw a helicopter fly over his car and catch up with Mr. Deakin's white pickup truck. Kate's voice blared through the police loudspeaker. "NYPD! Stop for inspection!"
Mr. Deakin ignored her and ventured deeper into the woods, trying to avoid the threat of the helicopter.
"Officer Beckett, he's ignoring warnings. Should I stop him?"
Adam asked.
Can you do it?
Kate asked with concern.
"Cooperating with the police is our duty as citizens."
Adam laughed.
"OK."
Kate, of course, knew Adam's character and abilities, and said formally, "Dr. Duncan, the other party ignored the police warnings. You can try to force them to stop."
"Receive."
Adam inexplicably felt a sense of excitement.
Kate, who was in the police helicopter, knew Adam's voice all too well. She immediately understood what Adam was thinking, cursed inwardly, and felt her face flush.
"Don't be reckless! The officers are already behind him; he can't escape."
"Clear!"
Adam also saw the flashing police lights behind him in the rearview mirror.
"I moved!"
At that moment, Adam saw a great opportunity. His genius brain instantly simulated the entire impact process, and all the calculations were completed simultaneously.
Then, he floored the accelerator, and the supercar's incredible acceleration allowed him to catch up with the white pickup truck instantly, giving it a light but not heavy side impact.
The terrain caused the white pickup truck to tilt slightly, and then its wheels happened to run over a rock.
Adam's precise, almost imperceptible impact caused the white pickup truck to lose its balance, tip over, and slide forward until it crashed into a large tree and came to a stop.
"Alright!"
Immediately after the impact, Adam warned Kate, "Prepare to arrest him, but be careful, he's dangerous!"
"Know!"
Kate gave a signal and immediately instructed the driver to hover. She lowered the rope ladder and climbed down skillfully and quickly.
Adam got out of the car and kept a close eye on Mr. Deakin's movements in the white pickup truck.
The dashing Kate ran over, gun in hand, and pulled Adam behind her. "You hide, I'll take care of things here!"
How many magazines did you bring?
Adam couldn't help but ask.
"Six? What's wrong?"
Kate approached with her gun drawn, asking instinctively.
"If there is danger, empty the magazine immediately."
Adam reminded him, "This time I'm serious."
"I'm the police officer!"
Although Kate knew Adam meant well, she knew him too well and still caught the subtle teasing in his words.
This wasn't the first time he'd said this to her.
In the United States, it is standard procedure for police officers to empty their magazines once they detect danger.
Some even went so far as to empty one magazine, not just emptying it, but emptying all the magazines they were carrying.
If you run out of ammo, reload the magazine; if you run out of ammo again, reload again!
The reason for doing this is to suppress fire and reduce casualties.
Criminals in the United States can easily obtain large quantities of firearms and ammunition, and if they are not careful, they can cause a lot of casualties to police officers.
Moreover, without the guarantee of a fatal shot, no one knows whether the other party will be able to continue fighting back after being shot.
This is no joke.
Adam had heard Kate mention that they had once encountered a ruthless bandit.
Several officers fired in a crossfire, constantly emptying their magazines, reloading, and emptying them again, firing over a hundred rounds in total, turning the enemy into sieves.
The other person was still alive, and to their astonishment, he shot and killed a police officer with a backhand.
This caused a great sensation.
Afterwards, their police station leaders repeatedly emphasized in meetings that when encountering danger, the first thing to do is to empty the magazine, and the second thing is to wait until the target is completely still.
"NYPD! Keep your hands where we can see them, and take your time!"
Kate, gun in hand, and her partner, in combat formation, slowly approached the white van lying there.
The police cars that followed arrived, and the local police officers got out and immediately hid behind the car doors, holding their guns and watching Kate and her group's movements.
Safety first!
"Come out slowly now!"
Mr. Deakin did not continue to resist. He walked out with his hands raised, blood streaming from his forehead, but with a smile on his face.
This greatly disappointed Adam.
Adam most admires the United States police's Empty Magazine Theory when it comes to potential threats to himself.
Mr. Deakin was not important to Adam.
Mr. Deakin was not important to Adam.
It seems that Mr. Deakin isn't as brave as that 30-something-year-old pseudo-loli.
What a pity.
Kate and her partner arrested Mr. Deakin. Local officers, after confirming there was no danger, then proceeded to clear the truck and search for possible evidence of a crime.
"Holy shit!"
When Adam saw the police officers bring over a shoulder bag, open it to reveal a large stack of photos inside, many of which were funeral portraits with eyes open, he couldn't help but swear.
"What's wrong?"
Kate was confused.
"Look!"
Adam pointed to the photos. "These are very likely the victims he killed."
"Hiss, no way?"
Kate stepped forward and flipped through the pages; they were densely packed, more than a hundred pages. This immediately made even Kate, a detective specializing in major criminal cases, gasp and feel a chill run down her spine.
"Why?"
Adam looked at Mr. Deakin, who was smiling calmly.
"I'm just helping this world clean up the Walking Dead."
Mr. Deakin smiled and said, "Keeping them in the world is just a waste of air; they don't understand the meaning of life at all."
"Anna too?"
Adam said coldly, "She just fell in love with my friend."
"She is."
Mr. Deakin laughed and said, "You don't have my talent to see that if you hadn't come, I would have sent her off peacefully. It's such a pity."
"Why inject her with anesthesia? Why not just kill her?"
Adam couldn't help but press for an answer.
"Everyone has the right to atone for their sins."
Mr. Deakin said calmly, "If she truly understands the value of her existence between life and death, and is no longer the Walking Dead wasting air, then she may still have a chance to return to the world."
If she can't understand, then she'll only be able to go to hell.
Believe me, these the Walking Dead are all the same; even if given another chance, none of them would grasp the value of life.
"You buried them all alive?"
Adam realized something and exclaimed in shock.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Kate and the others looked at the calm Mr. Deakin, then at the thick stack of photographs in his bag. Despite their extensive knowledge, they couldn't help but tremble.
This is terrible.
"Adam, are you sure?"
Kate refused to accept this conjecture.
"Find the most recent deceased person who died with their eyes open, open their coffin, and you'll know immediately."
Adam's face was grave.
Being buried alive is one of the most painful ways to die; it's practically like going to hell.
