In some abandoned houses, Operation Lockdown had been implemented to prevent demons from escaping the containment zone.
"Aquino Bravo is in position; targets have been identified." A group of agents looked at the decent-looking house while they all put on gas masks and silencers on their weapons.
The surroundings were dark, but it seemed that all the demons on this street were gathered in this house as if something incredible was being celebrated there.
This time, drones were being used, and security cameras were hacked where available to identify the targets to be eliminated and the processes needed before reaching their objectives.
Currently, around 97 participants have been identified as demons, all of whom had to be eliminated as soon as possible by Anton's orders, knowing that things were much deeper than he had expected.
"Zz… We have located 37 targets, preparing to initiate elimination."
The agents of the Light disembarked from the vans holding assault rifles, and they all took positions.
"Zz… Entering the abandoned house zone."
A group of soldiers entered through the backyard of an abandoned house, looking around. When they saw a dog watching them, a soldier stepped forward and shot a tranquilizer at the dog.
Bang!
When the dart lodged in the dog's chest, it fell to the ground. The group then began to advance, and when they reached the door, the captain, named Erick, looked inside and said, "Lights out in three, two, one... Enter!"
Boom!
With a burst at the door, the group entered the mansion, searching for the targets. As they entered, they cleared the areas before continuing.
"What was that explosion?"
"It seems it was right at the door; who's going to check?"
A person turned on the flashlight on their cell phone, but at that moment, they heard bears approaching, and instantly bullets penetrated their heads.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The people behind only felt something warm splashing on their faces, and when they extended their hands to their faces, they felt the thick liquid covering them.
"This can't be."
"Who are you?"
But Erick, who had seen the targets, said nothing unnecessary and ordered, "Shoot, we don't want witnesses."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Watching everyone being killed without a chance to do anything, Erick walked to the table, where there was a piece of paper with some letters. When he looked through his night vision goggles and saw a crystal glass moving, he opened fire on the empty space in front of him.
The sound of the bullets was intense. Whatever was or wasn't in front of them had received enough bullets not to easily confront them.
"Zz… Use holy water, do not separate, and keep advancing."
The first group stayed on the mansion's first floor, while others began to eliminate the people upstairs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Aaaahhhh!!!"
Boom!
Erick turned his gaze to the second floor and saw two of his soldiers being thrown against the wall. "Team one, seal the mansion and let the exorcists in."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As this mission had become very dangerous, according to protocol, he requested support from the exorcists, who would enter only if their skills were needed.
Certainly, they needed help right now.
Rrrr!!!
At that moment, a black figure came running from outside and lunged at a soldier standing behind Erick.
"Aaaahhh!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Seeing the dog that had woken up only to attack one of his soldiers, Erick shot it without hesitation. "This place is cursed."
Now they had to be more lethal, leaving no one alive, and that included children.
…
The previous night had been hell for the Light Agents. They all reported a kind of demonic manifestation that occasionally granted ordinary people supernatural abilities like super strength, super speed, or telekinesis.
But fortunately, there were no problems other than this. No one died, although only a dozen of them had minor injuries, and only one was seriously injured.
These reports excited Anton, who knew that the forces John had trained had become very lethal. Now, they only needed to assess their mentality and see if they had been affected by the missions, which sometimes happened.
Only now has the battle for Jerusalem begun. The outcome would decide whether they could save this place or, on the contrary, abandon it and let the weapons of mass destruction take care of it.
