The FBI involved in the operation, in addition to the four-member team with Akai Shuichi as the core, also has the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT).

HRT is the FBI's paramilitary anti-terrorism tactical unit. HRT's mission is primarily to rescue U.S. citizens or other hostages taken by hostile armed forces. At the same time, the unit also carries out direct strikes against other terrorists and vicious criminals.

It is said that the total number of HRTs has never exceeded 400 in the history of generational changes. And this time, as many as thirty HRTs came to Japan for the operation.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the heavily armed HRT team members formed a posture of encirclement of the target stronghold. Pate's hacker stronghold was inside the bed of a large truck, which was parked in a trucking company's warehouse far from the Suzuki Tower. Shuichi Akai knew that Pate was an expert at escaping, but his caution was rather surprising.

Since he is an escape expert, is he a person who is afraid of death?

opened the guard room with a tool, and before the security guard inside could react, he was covered by someone and pressed to the ground. Outside the door, the HRT team members passed through the gate in an orderly manner against the wall, disappearing into the darkness like an invisible ghost.

The roof of the underground garage where the trucks are located is curved, and in addition to the trucks, there are also some containers. There are a total of four automatic roller shutters on the front and rear sides of the warehouse, which must be opened electrically. Because of the strict daily inspections of the warehouse, the target did not deploy monitoring probes around the perimeter of the warehouse.

Confirming the position of the truck through an electronic peep scope, HRT decided to attack in groups from the east and west. The truck is facing east and west, and the compartment is closed and in a stalled state. The warehouse was pitch black, with no light source.

Commandos operate welding torches to cut a gap in the roller shutter door for two people to pass through. Almost simultaneously, the protrusions on both sides opened at the same time. The steel plate fell to the ground, making a noise in the silence and darkness. For the people in the truck, that's a hint.

The white beams of light of the tactical flashlight flickered in the warehouse, and after checking the cockpit and the surrounding environment, and after confirming that it was safe, the soldiers of the HRT unanimously pointed their guns at the compartment. Just as they were about to stick the C2 Breaking Explosives to the door, the compartment suddenly opened.

"What is this?"

The carriage door opened, revealing a bandit in homemade heavy armor.

The steel monster made of Kevlar bulletproof fibers and steel plates resembles a futuristic warrior from a Hollywood sci-fi movie. The glow of a beast shines under the fully protective helmet and built-in goggles, and the thick wheezing sound makes people shudder.

There was a brief silence in the warehouse, where the sci-fi monster and the HRT soldier stared at each other silently.

In the next second, the monster and the soldier fired at the same time, and the firelight illuminated the dark warehouse. While firing, the well-trained HRT quickly sought cover on the spot, avoiding unnecessary casualties.

The weapon used by the monster is a general-purpose machine gun, which is the standard equipment of the U.S. military. HRT soldiers, who were familiar with this weapon, were naturally familiar with its firepower, and they returned fire while retreating. These containers and forklifts can't stop 7.62mm steel core bullets!

"Retreat! Fall back! Throw smoke bombs! ”

In the carriage, except for Pate, everyone was lying on the ground with their heads in their hands. Compared to the hackers of the organization, those hackers hired from the outside are so scared that they almost pee their pants. They didn't know they would encounter such a situation.

Hearing the shouts outside, Pate smiled triumphantly. He grabbed the submachine gun on the table, killed the hacker hired from outside, and said to the hacker organization: "There are several cars in the third warehouse, and the car keys are on it, and when the people outside retreat, you can escape by yourself." ”

"What about you?" Seeing Pate's breezy expression, a hacker asked.

"Me? Of course, you have to play with these people, otherwise what about people who are always greedy for life and afraid of death on the spot? Pate happily spread his hands with a look of helplessness.

The commander of the HRT wanted to unleash the enemy, who had strong defenses and firepower, to fight. The enemy has an advantage in firepower, and HRT has an advantage in numbers. On vast terrain, they are even more dominant. And at critical moments, snipers will also come to the rescue.

In the dark, HRT turned off the tactical flashlight in the exposed position.

The moment the heavily armored monster stepped out of the smoke, thirty long and short weapons opened fire in unison. Several flashbangs and stun grenades exploded at the monster's feet, but the hermetically sealed helmet seemed to protect against glare and sonic booms.

The machine gun spat out long tongues of fire, and a stormy barrage of bullets crushed HRT to the point where it could not lift its head. The fragile bunkers were torn open by bullets, and the white smoke of bullet casings fell to the ground, and in a short time they were covered with a metal floor.

In addition to traditional assault rifles and ******, the weapons carried by the HRT this time also included non-lethal ****** and pepper guns, and finally only pistols. Coupled with the fact that the ammunition supply of the assault rifle is far inferior to that of the general-purpose machine gun, the overall firepower of the HRT is far inferior to that of this monster.

The sniper aimed at the monster's head, and sensing that he might not be able to wear a heavy helmet, pointed the crosshair towards his neck, where even if there was protection, it was impossible to withstand the bullets of the sniper rifle. However, the sniper is in a high place, the angle is not good, and it is night, and the night vision scope is not clear enough, so it is difficult to hit accurately.

"Oops, the fire on the opposite side is too fierce for HRT to stop!" James had a big headache, he had just heard the sound of car engines, and there were more than one. Someone must have taken advantage of HRT's firepower to drive away, and maybe there was Pate.

Judy pointed to the warehouse: "Look, the warehouse is on fire!" ”

The fire is not very large, but open flames can be seen in the warehouse. No explosions were heard, that is, someone set fire to the warehouse.

HRT decided to avoid its edge and sent men to attack the enemy from the side door. Darkness was also an advantage for the HRT, and the accuracy of the machine guns was relatively low, although the HRT was suppressed by fire, but there were no casualties. In fact, none of them can help anyone.

The sniper does his best to shoot at the monster's weak spots, but the bullets always miss. Even if it hits the body armor, the effect is not as good as a mosquito bite. To make matters worse, the sniper succeeds in getting the monster's attention. The muzzle of the gun was raised, the machine gun fired non-stop, and even the sniper could no longer play a role.

Shuichi Akai returns to the vehicle, where there should be a spare weapon for HRT.

He found a squad with a semi-automatic precision marksman rifle and returned to the battlefield. With excellent marksmanship, he can understand the difficulties of a sniper, but to deal with this kind of thing, except for explosives, there is only a sniper rifle.

Finding a hidden position at a distance, Shuichi Akai aims at the monster with a high magnification in the dark. The open flames in the warehouse helped a lot, allowing him to clearly see the silhouette of the enemy.

The trigger was pulled, the bullet hit the enemy's arm, and the machine gun, which was firing continuously, could be seen stopped. The monster flicked its arms and let the bullets hit its body, and the gun continued to shoot wildly.

The protection on the arm was also done carefully? Shuichi Akai was not in a hurry, and hit the opponent's arm with another shot.

The monster was enraged, and he was more annoyed by the squatters who only knew how to shoot in the corner all day than HRT in front of him.

In the third shot, the sound of machine guns suddenly stopped. A dull roar came from the helmet. The bullet managed to penetrate his right hand, and he angrily raised the heavy machine gun with his left hand to fire. As a result, the recoil was not controlled, and the machine gun rolled in a circle in the air and fell to the ground.

God-given opportunity, how could HRT let it go? The soldiers rushed out of cover, regardless of whether they were holding pistols or non-lethal weapons, they rushed to the front and shone their faces. The super defense brings the sacrifice of mobility, and the monster wants to retreat, but the speed cannot be increased, but it is chased and beaten.

Suddenly, a large black trailer truck sped from the warehouse in the distance. HRT soldiers dodged so as not to be crushed into meatloaf by the truck. The truck stops behind the monster and the doors open. Shuichi Akai saw through the scope that it was Pete sitting in the cab.

This kind of person is really not a coward, and even crazier than ordinary people.

Lapping Pete into the crosshairs, Shuichi Akai decisively pulled the trigger. If you can't catch it, you have to kill it, otherwise you will end up working in vain.

Unexpectedly, when the bullet was discharged, the reloaded monster boarded the truck. The bullet pierced the edge of his suit and got stuck in his vertebrae, saving Pate's life. Pate had no mercy for the "life-saver", kicked the useless body off the truck, and fled in a car.

……

In order to produce the most suitable parabola, the organization specialized low-velocity shells for sniper rifles. Chianti and Cohen finally check their weapons and prepare for a sniper. Still, feeling the man behind him, Chianti was still uncomfortable.

It's really funny, this time Cohen is adorned with a Hawaiian shirt and beach shorts, and the glasses have been changed. Chianti was dressed like a white-collar worker, wearing a white corset. If she hadn't resisted, I'm afraid her hair would have been dyed black and her butterfly eyeshadow would have disappeared.

Gin wears a plaid shirt and a black jacket with blue jeans and sneakers. The dress of the vodka hasn't changed much.

Shiro Suzuki stood on the podium, and everything was ready. Just wait for Gin's order.

There was a sudden explosion in the stairwell, and the roof could be felt shaking. "What's going on!" Chianti yelled!

Even after changing his outfit, Gin's eyes were as sharp as ever: "You buried a broadsword mine in the stairs?" ”

"The organization is not so poor that they can't even afford a single landmine." With his hands behind his back, Tron replied.

Someone wants to round them up. Since the situation has changed, Gin will never hesitate: "The task is given to Belmode, and we retreat." ”

"Gin!" Chianti was reluctant to abandon the plan.

"Retreat, Chianti." Cohen said.

Carry only weapons and discard other equipment. Gin and the others descended from the rooftop, and before they descended, he saw that Tron had no intention of evacuating.

"Where to evacuate is not to evacuate, I'll just go down the stairs." Tron replied.

This is the answer of the strong.
