Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Man Who Was Suddenly Remembered

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Charles, the location host of AMC's noon news, and we are located in front of a building in the New Mexico district of Los Angeles, according to the information provided to us by insiders, the police are currently arresting the Mexican armed - drug - drug - personnel who attacked the police a few days ago, remember the news from within the FBI a few days ago? It was the one who killed the Mexican gunman in a mid-range residential area, and it is said that the people who were confronting the police in this building were related to them. ”

"I would like to thank the authorities for evacuating the innocent residents of the entire building before the fighting began, and for evacuating all the non-combatants from the scene when they put themselves in danger and fighting evil, and behind me are the innocent residents who are being evacuated, and now let's hear what the residents who have been evacuated from this building have to say." The camera panned to the door of the building, where many South American residents were coming out of the hallway, surrounded by patrolmen who were helping to maintain order at the entrance of the building.

Then, the camera pans back to a black man in a suit holding a microphone explaining what had just happened, as he prepares to interview the first residents evacuated from the third floor of the building......

Rumble!

An explosion suddenly came, and at that moment, everyone on the street began to shrink their heads violently under the shock of this loud noise, and some people bent down and put their hands on their heads, as if they were blocking something from falling from the sky, and then, the shattered glass began to rain down from the upper floors, and the sound of 'boom, boom' continued to be heard on the ground, and the sound was connected into pieces, and the glass that fell to the ground and shattered again scattered in all directions. The scene was spectacular.

Da-da, da-da.

The sound of machine guns came. Then there was the sound of the pistol's 'bang, bang'. A series of gunshots followed, causing everyone who had just escaped to look up at the building that had been as calm as it had been a few minutes ago!

When Charles had time for an interview, he stood in front of a completely different scene with a microphone and said, "I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's going on!" But I heard explosions and gunshots!! ”

"I really hope that the police officers in that building and the ordinary residents who haven't had time to evacuate will be okay, God willing."

Dada......

When the gunshots rang out again, the patrol officers in police uniforms began to rush up the stairs frantically at the entrance of the building, and after the patrol officers rushed up the corridor, a large number of residents fled the danger in a roar. Behind him was an anxious urging: "GO! GO! Hurry up, sir, please pick up a child for the mother of two, now is not the time to tell if you are his father or not! ”

"Please help anyone who has gone down the stairs but haven't left this building as much as possible, no one is allowed to stay in the hallway, quick!"

The police sent the residents out one by one, and when these people left the guard, the reporters and TV program hosts who were still waiting on the street corner rushed up instantly.

"Sir, can you tell me what's going on inside?"

"Ma'am, how's the situation in the building? Why did the explosion occur? What was the crossfire between the police and the bandits? Were there any casualties among the police in this firefight? Are our policemen opponents of those bandits? ”

The reporter's series of questions angered one of the residents. He turned around and glared at the reporter amid the gunshots: "WHAT? ”

"You saw with my own eyes that the police were shielding us in the narrow corridors to protect us, and we were safely escorted out of the building. Ask me if the police are opponents of the bandits? ”

"What's wrong with your ******!"

"Haven't you seen those SWAT officers in blue uniforms sacrifice for us ordinary citizens? So, in your world, these are not noble? What do you want me to tell you? Tell you that when we were evacuating, the explosion of a grenade was heard, and I watched a policeman be blown up from the entrance of the building and fall down the stairs? Or do you want me to make news for your news by seeing this with my own eyes and saying to that goddamn machine that the police in L.A. aren't the bandits? ”

"Listen, no matter how good our police officers were, they saved my life, that's all I'm going to say!"

After the man yelled at the reporters, a woman surrounded by other reporters shook her head and said, "He's right, now I don't want to be interviewed, I want to know what happened to those who have protected us with their lives." ”

For a while, these residents began to spontaneously distance themselves from the media, and they crossed the road and no one was standing on either side of the road.

Bang!!

A completely different gunfire appeared, and the few media people who were stunned turned their heads to look at the scene of the incident again, and they watched the SWAT reserves that were originally waiting downstairs start to rush upstairs with guns, as if a big war was brewing.

"Nick! Tell me what's going on in the hallway, Nick! ”

Nick crouched at the corner of the stairs and couldn't lift his head, with the dust and stones flying from the bullets above his head, and the sound of two guns firing wildly in the hallway, let alone answering the weekend's questions, it was difficult for him to even move unless he stepped back.

At this point, in a position that Nick couldn't pay attention to at all, another voice came into the command vehicle: "Sniper No. 3 reports that the target has been locked. ”

Bang!

Bang!

Two bullets were fired from Sniper Three's gun, and two Mexicans in the room with guns indiscriminately strafing the hallway were unaware of the danger, and at the very second that Nick managed to find a gap to look up and look down the railing of the staircase handrail, a Mexican suddenly pounced on the bullet. The moment Nick raised his head, he had already seen a body falling into the corridor in a shaking, and the next second, the MP5 that was shooting in a crouching position under the muzzle of the AK47 suddenly pulled the trigger, and the whole arm began to flutter under the shock force of the gun, and after being raised from the edge of the door frame to the other side of the corridor, a corpse that had been swept by the bullet at the edge of the left head curled up and fell on the first Mexican who had just fallen.

"Zhou, now there are no gunshots in the hallway. Two gunmen have been killed. I'm going to get Pablo back first. ”

"Wait there. Nick, find a safe place and wait, SWAT has already gone up......" Nick's voice came from inside the headphones, Nick reached out and took off the headphones, he crouched inside and glanced into the hallway again, then took a sharp breath, as if preparing for this extremely dangerous event, and sprang up the stairs like a cheetah in a breath. After stepping up the stairs in two steps, he grabbed the handrail of the stairs with one hand, and under this action, the whole body turned very agilely, and when all the movements were completed and the body stabilized, Nick bent down and dragged Pablo, who was lying on the ground and was stunned by the air waves, and grabbed the collar of the body armor on his shoulder and began to drag it back: "Hmm!!! It's time for you to lose weight! ”

Ugh.

Pablo's body was dragged by Nick's efforts, and the shrapnel-cut leg began to bleed profusely during the movement, and Pablo's pants were soon blackened with blood. Then it was damp.

"Ahh

Nick used all his strength to move Pablo's body to the dead end of the corridor and stairwell, and then after. He began to crouch down and pull Pablo's legs, and when Pablo's body was placed vertically in a position protruding from the house, completely becoming a target that Mexicans could not aim, Nick put on his headphones: "Whew, whew, whew, Zhou, what did you just say?" ”

"Bastard, you ****** idiot, do you have shit in your head??!! You didn't listen to me and rushed out to save Pablo, do you know that you might as well kill you all because of your own impulses......"

The weekend scolding is frequently heard in the headphones, and you can't imagine how a Chinese person can not scold there for half a minute, while Nick is sweating profusely and leaning against the wall, listening to the weekend's scolding and smirking with his head up: "Hehehehehehehe He didn't reply.

In fact, he just wanted to tell the people in the command car that Pablo was still alive and that he had not been shot, and that this was enough to express in laughter.

Wow, bmm, bh.

The sound of footsteps sounded again from the corridor, and when the SWAT reserve team rushed up again and put the muzzle of the gun directly under the railing of the staircase handrail, they shook off the haze of being attacked by someone, and the person in charge of the command immediately gave the command that had been presented countless times in training: "Throw tear gas into the corridor!" ”

For a while the stairs were filled with the sound of gas masks, and of course, they did not forget to throw Nick a gas mask.

SWAT is not an idiot, if it weren't for a grenade in such a small space, even if the other party poked the muzzle out, at most one or two people could be killed after the gunshot, but the lethality and shock of the grenade was too great, the explosion of a grenade made all the SWAT in the corridor the target of air flow collision and shrapnel attack, and the wall in the corridor provided an impact channel for the air flow released after the grenade exploded, which caused such a tragic situation.

"Command vehicle, we're going to throw tear gas into the hallway now, please have the snipers aim at the doors of rooms 301, 304, and 307, and also have the patrol officers answer at the stairs. As the smoke from tear gas canisters fills the hallway, our men will rush to transport the wounded down, and once the passage is cleared, we'll tell them who the LAPPD's SWAT really is! ”

His battle plan was right, thanks to the combat experience accumulated over the years in various occasions, if he threw tear gas canisters directly into those three rooms at this moment, I am afraid that it would not take a second for someone to desperately throw tear gas canisters down the windows downstairs, and the smoke in the corridor would pour in along the open doors of those rooms, and they would not be able to hide if they wanted to.

"Good luck to you."

Matthew's voice came over, and the sense of anticipation grew, especially when there was silence on the intercom.

Grunt.

An object that resembled a grenade was thrown out by the SWAT who was crouching on the edge of the stairs, and then the smoke began to spew out, and in an instant, the entire corridor began to become hazy, and unexpectedly, at this time, the second and third tear gas canisters were thrown out at the same time.

The SWAT who was beaten by Matthew turned his head and said to everyone as if he was about to be ashamed: "The elevator entrance sandwiched between rooms 304 and 307 is the most dangerous, I'll go there and bring the wounded out, Lin and Hammers come with me, you are responsible for guarding the door of rooms 304 and 307, and the rest of the people will point their guns at the door of 301, no matter who you see from the door of 301, you can only shoot diagonally here, and you are never allowed to shoot in a straight line, if you don't want me to die." ”

"Now, action!"

In the thick of smoke, three SWAT team members rushed over, they did not take out the first priority of all Mexicans in order to buy time for the treatment of their wounded companions, and in the same way, in such a short period of time, neither the weekend nor Matthew gave them any orders, everything could only be groped in such a small space with their combat experience.

Sitting in the command car on the weekend, I saw the monitoring equipment in the corridor and said silently: "Chekov, do you know how much I miss you now?" (To be continued.) )
