Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 625 - 284: Forced Breakthrough (Part 2)

The majority of them were employees inside the building, each holding a mobile phone, anxiously trying to contact the outside world. However, because the signals had long been blocked by the technical special forces, all mobile base stations and radios were shielded except for their professional radio vehicle.

"Watch out behind the pillar to the right front, I see six enemies holding guns directly in front of me!"

"Aiming now!"

Gao Bo and Liu Weijun had just spoken.

A few staff members in the lobby noticed the special forces bursting in through the main entrance, their faces immediately changed, their eyes widened in shock, "You, you all..."

"Is it the police? Holy shit, there are police!!"

"There are police, run fast!"

"Police, everyone get down!!"

As soon as the enemy shouted, Zhang Wenjun also issued a warning. But such a warning had no effect in Old Street City.

In the blink of an eye, the six enemies almost simultaneously raised their guns and swept toward the entrance.

"Open fire!"

"Da-da! Da-da!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Amidst a fierce exchange of fire, the three SWAT teams scattered around.

Gu Ji stepped to hide under the turnstile at the lobby entrance, while the glass around him and the revolving door behind him were shattered by bullets one after another. Taking advantage of the chaos on the enemy’s side, he raised the Type 95-1B rifle in his hand and fired a double-shot, hitting one of the henchmen in the chest.

"Ah—!"

"Help!"

"Don’t kill me! I surrender! Please don’t shoot!"

"Run quickly! The warlords have broken in! Everyone run!"

...

Suddenly, the people in the lobby panicked and scattered in all directions.

Most people were like headless flies, only caring about rushing forward. The muzzle flashes were like strobe lights in a nightclub, flashing continuously in the dark. The explosion of gunpowder mixed with screams and the sound of shattering glass threw the scene into chaos, to the point where even when phones hit the floor, no one cared to pick them up.

"Target behind the load-bearing pillar confirmed killed!"

"Target directly ahead confirmed killed!"

"Attention to the second floor! A large number of henchmen are coming!"

"Is anyone injured? Move! Everyone move to the right side! Enter the fire escape stairs!"

The tactical earpiece naturally filtered out high-frequency noise, and since everyone here was an elite member of Xia Kingdom’s special forces, they remained completely unfazed by the chaotic scene, communicating swiftly and decisively on their internal channel.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"Da-da-da..."

"Prepare to breach! Three, two, one!"

"Crash! Safe!"

Gao Bo yanked open the safety door of the fire escape. Liu Weijun and Gu Ji split high and low, swiftly aiming their gun muzzles towards the front and stairwell.

"Team One! Basement, Team Three upstairs! Regroup in the lobby!"

"Understood!"

Zhang Wenjun nodded, then grabbed Gu Ji by the shoulder, while Gu Ji grabbed Liu Weijun’s shoulder, moving swiftly forward.

After everyone had entered the corridor, Gao Bo was the last one to run up from the team.

"Currently taking point!"

"Permission to take point!"

Gao Bo, sticking close to the wall, maneuvered past Wu Kang, Zhou Yang, Zhao Hua, and others, eventually making his way back to the front of the team.

"Attention! A large crowd is approaching the building from outside!"

"Support group, delay them!"

"Footsteps! Three enemies spotted upstairs! Da-da!"

Just as Gao Bo led Gu Ji and others onto the first and second-floor stairwell platform, they immediately noticed armed men charging down from above. As he reported, he decisively pulled the trigger.

With a flash of light, a body tumbled down from above, blood dripping down the railing.

Meanwhile, the tactical earpiece also relayed a reminder from the Myanmar Police Force outside the building, indicating that the fierce gun battle inside had caught the attention of the park’s security. Bi Xin immediately ordered them to delay.

"Prepare to breach! Keep vigilant upstairs!"

"Monk!"

Zhang Wenjun’s thought process remained uninterrupted by this conversation. Upon reaching the second-floor safety door, he immediately issued the breach command.

In an instant.

Gao Bo turned around to keep his gun trained upstairs, while Wu Kang turned around to keep watch downstairs.

Liu Weijun pulled the door handle, while Gu Ji pressed his back against the wall, holding the gunstock with his left hand, narrowing the movement, angling the gun muzzle at 30 degrees, aiming through the door crack.

"Three, two, one!"

"Da-da!"

At the moment the door was pulled open, a cold gleam flashed instantly. Gu Ji didn’t even have time to shout before he pulled the trigger. The bullet immediately hit the assailant’s throat, blood spurting like an arrow, splattering over Gu Ji’s tactical vest and black hood.

"Enemy directly ahead!"

"Zhou Yang! Zhao Hua!"

Zhang Wenjun shouted and immediately squeezed in from the rear.

Gu Ji squatted down instantly, leaving a shooting range for his teammates behind him.

But in the next moment, gunfire erupted from behind as well. Armed militants rushed down from the third, fourth, and fifth floors, engaging in a firefight with Gao Bo, "Enemies coming down from upstairs!"

"Click!"

At this moment, Wu Kang quickly pulled the concussion bomb from his waist, yanked the safety pin, and swiftly tossed it against the wall by the stairs. The concussion bomb bounced off the wall, landing on the third-floor stair platform, "Boom!"

The massive explosion and flash illuminated the whole corridor as bright as daylight.

Fortunately, their BNVD1431 dual-eye night vision goggles, developed by the Xia Kingdom, were a third-generation model, already adapted for rapid adjustment to bright light.

Taking advantage of the enemy’s cries of pain, Wu Kang decisively pulled the trigger.

"Prepare to advance to the second floor! Quickly!"

By this time, with the help of Zhang Wenjun and Zhou Yang, seven to eight knife-wielding and gun-wielding militants gathered at the second-floor fire escape were already taken down by Gu Ji and his team.

"Watch your remaining ammo!"

"Left side is clear!"

"Target fleeing on the right!"

"We are police! All unrelated personnel get down! Get down!"

Zhang Wenjun shouted warnings.

Several telecom fraud employees, upon hearing they wouldn’t be killed, immediately hid beneath the corridor planters or under office desks. They were so frightened mainly because they thought Gu Ji’s team belonged to one of the three major families or were local warlords.

Because these people had no regard for the law and didn’t care about civilian lives.

"Xia Kingdom police? Screw you, meddling in our affairs!"

"Da-da!"

One of the armed militants retorted and was about to raise his gun to retaliate when Zhao Hua shot him down. Gu Ji followed with a double shot to the chest, and Gao Bo and Wu Kang also rushed in from behind the door, quickly locking the safety door.

The New Jinyuan Building’s decoration was similar to the original, with glass-partitioned offices around the perimeter and a spacious office atrium up to the fifth floor in the inner circle.

Due to the power outage, the building was pitch black, only the glowing green "exit" signs illuminated the walls.

"Our targets are the Xia Kingdom tourists taken hostage! Guan Su! Fang Haoqing! He Shun! Fang Shanshan..."

"He Shun!"

"Officer, please save me! I was tricked into coming here. They said we could earn money here. But after arriving, they exploited us and even took my ID and passport. Please, help me leave here!"

"Get down! I said get down! Hands on your head!"

Each time Zhang Wenjun burst into an office, he would call out for hostage rescue targets.

But at this time, others also tried to seek help, yet to ensure safety, Gu Ji immediately pointed his gun at them, warning them not to come close.

Truth be told.

Gu Ji realized, right at the underground checkpoint of the Jinyuan Group, that the majority of these workers were opportunists who had crossed the border illegally, dreaming of striking it rich. They only found themselves exploited by the Group and sought escape after engaging in fraud. This included Wa Xueming.

Illegal immigration was in itself a crime.

So, their situation was completely different from those seven kidnapped tourists.

Of course, Gu Ji and his team weren’t entirely "leaving them to die."

Once the Yunnan Province Anti-Drug Headquarters, Zhao Bai and his team caught Bai Maoliang, the Bai Family would collapse completely. Then, whether these people decided to stay or leave would be up to them.

"Are you talking about the newly captured ’piglets’?"

"What ’piglets’?"

"The Xia Kingdom people who were kidnapped here, we call them ’piglets’!"

Whilst Zhang Wenjun searched the fifth office on the second floor, a woman styled as a professional secretary, wearing black-framed glasses, suddenly raised her hands and shouted.

"Do you know where they are?"

"I know, they’re on the fourth floor. There are two unfamiliar faces with Mr. Sun’s team. One of them seems to be named Zhang something. I saw her once using the company phone to secretly contact home from the restroom. She was caught by Mr. Sun and slapped several times. She should be the one you’re looking for!"

"Fourth floor..."

"Three enemies spotted behind us!!"
