At an intersection, the red light just turned on. A gray-black van came to a stop at the corner. The three traffickers inside the vehicle were feeling quite pleased; they would be out of the city in a moment!
Once this child was sold, it would bring in eighty thousand dollars. Even after deducting the portion that needed to be paid to the organization, each of them could still pocket twenty thousand dollars. As for the fact that this twenty thousand dollars would ruin a family and destroy a child's life... they were too lazy to think about such profound issues; after all, it wasn't their own children!
Moreover, during meetings organized by their leaders, they often heard that they were actually doing good deeds. Their actions allowed many families who were unable to have children for various reasons to have a complete and warm family, which was a wonderful thing.
Although they initially thought this reasoning was twisted, with repeated self-hypnosis and money flowing into their accounts, they gradually began to accept this ideology.
"Bang!"
The green light at the intersection lit up ahead. Just as the driver started the engine and prepared to move, a heavy object suddenly fell from the sky and crashed onto the roof of the van.
"Screech!"
The piercing sound of brakes filled the air. The van instantly stalled, and the three people inside felt their hearts leap into their throats. Although they didn't know what had happened, they felt an unsettling chill deep down!
In the next moment, the metal roof of the van was suddenly lifted by a tremendous force, and the blazing sunlight poured into the cabin.
"Ah~!"
The three individuals screamed in terror, their shrill voices echoing for quite a distance.
"Target locked, launching weapon."
Patriot One did not pause for even a moment due to their screams. It was a robot, requiring no dramatic performance to play out overly complex scenarios.
The lightweight weapon system on Patriot One's shoulder activated, and Anesthetic shot out instantly, piercing the bodies of the three human traffickers.
Before they could even make a sound, their eyelids fluttered, and they all fainted simultaneously.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
The Red Light, resembling a bloodstone on Patriot One's chest, flickered several times. It was transmitting information to the backend system; the rescue operation had been successfully completed.
Patriot One carefully lifted the unconscious child from the back seat of the van and raised its hand to scan the child's body data in the air above.
After confirming that the child was merely unconscious and not seriously harmed, with no other injuries present, Patriot One made a swift motion with its foot.
"Clang!"
The entire van was pulled to the roadside with a simple hook from its foot, quietly waiting for the arrival of the action team in the shade by the road.
"What... what is this thing?"
Many elderly people were startled by Patriot One descending from the sky, looking at such a high-tech robot, thinking it was an alien invasion.
Fortunately, Patriot One had been widely reported during the evacuation operation in America, so many people recognized it. However, seeing Patriot One on television and seeing it in real life were two completely different experiences.
Many people immediately took out their phones and started snapping pictures of Patriot One.
"Look, Patriot One is up ahead!"
"You guys are a bit late; you missed it. Just now, Patriot One descended from the sky and directly flipped the roof of a van. The pose was incredibly cool!"
"Did you see? That Patriot One Robot is even holding a child! Those three men and one woman are actually human traffickers!"
The early arrivals were vividly recounting what had just happened, drawing more and more onlookers.
