Chapter 411 Street battle
"Cuff him." One of the operators asked her teammate.
"On it." Slicking her rifle on her back, she took out a plastic cuff and arrested the poor man, not forgetting to smack the head in the process. "Crying now? Why don't you learn to cry when you broke the law, huh?"
The man wept bitterly. If his mind returned from insanity, he would complain, police abuse! Fortunately, he did not. Else, more slaps would follow to teach him, his true situation.
The others kicked away the trio's AKs and checked the two bodies' vitalities, then shook their head. "Deceased."
The team leader nodded and reported: "HQ, Bravo 2. The battle is over. Threats neutralized. Three tangoes, two KIA and one in a pretty bad shape."
"I'm sorry, Bravo 2, say again your last. How bad? Need medical treatment?"
"Negative, suspect is scared shitless; he can't talk or react normally. Anyway, we have no idea what to do."
The HQ went quiet, processing her words in speechlessness. How violent were you to terrify the most dangerous criminals in City N? "Bravo 2, the command requests your team to secure the scene and evidence. Establish a checkpoint and wait for a follow-up. Read back."
"Roger HQ. Bravo 2's concise message to secure the sites, establish a checkpoint and wait."
"Good hunting Bravo 2, HQ out."
The shot gunfire did alarm all the teams. But they resumed their responsibilities as soon as HQ cleared out the fog of war.
Charlie 6 pressed on under Athena's guidance. They didn't follow the robbers' trail exactly but intended to cut off. The team leader with some hesitation finally listened to Athena's advice when her zeal to meet the escapees won.
Kicking down one of the unfortunate chosen houses of poor citizens, Spirit Fox operators stormed in and out through the backdoor. Locked, it didn't matter, they would breach and destroy the locks—shotgun, dynamic hammer, or pure kicking power—depending on the case.
Speaking of, because of upgraded technology, the frag-suits worn by operators contained additional liquid exoskeleton mechanisms to multiply force power. It wasn't a problem to solve a locked door through pure exaggerated kicking pounds. Of course, let's not forget the primary function wasn't to generate force but to lighten the burden of weapons and armor.
The technology enhanced stamina and increased operators' efficiency, while also addressing the number one disease suffered by veterans due to high exposure of armor burdening the bodies.
The fragsuit eliminated these future risks and ensured operators' health and safety in the long run.
She relayed what she found to the HQ. Things were going in an uncontrollable direction and she didn't like it, one bit.
The robbers knew they couldn't act for long. They couldn't suppress Spirit Fox either. The two parties were in a tug of war. Shoot, move, and communicate had been applied by both sides thoroughly but the advantage began to tile toward Charlie 6 as they adapted to the enemies' rhythm.
After all, Instructor Tang's daily ruthless training wasn't for nothing. Now that they realized their opponents' skills, they applied appropriate drills and techniques, pressuring the veterans.
The five men weren't feeling well. They thought they had overestimated Spirit Fox's capabilities and discovered that they had underestimated instead. Sooner or later, they might either die or be captured. As elite members in the army, how could they have the face to survive if they were arrested by police members?
The Army looked down on the police's fighting force. The ideas stuck to the cores.
The street battle sparked outrage and confusion in the neighborhood. People were simply stunned by the sudden battle just yards away from their houses. Some reacted accordingly, bringing their loved ones to lower their bodies or even prone so that oncoming rounds or stray bullets had a lower chance of hitting them.
A few courageous civilians crawled to the windows and sneaked their phones out to see the battle. Of course, some didn't forget to live-broadcast the event in excitement. Athena who could hack through any electrical device was left speechless at the ordinary people's bravery.
If not for both sides' accuracies, these people were no different from the dead based on their idiotic behaviors. Shattering glasses and debris flying by could kill if they landed on the critical areas of a human body.
Charlie 6's team leader prepared to assault and gestured for her teammates to flank around. If the standstill continued in the narrow street battle, the victory would belong to them.
Anyone standing still would die in modern battle. One must always move. Obviously, the opposites were aware of their predicaments.
The leader of five men slammed the door close to them, escaping through the building. The rest sprayed the alley to strategically pin down the operators before entering and following their leader, one by one.
"Quickly chase! These guys are likely to be the ones darkening our faces with explosives."
"Continue to flank around?"
"No need. Don't separate our small team. Athena will handle and guide the others to surround the suspects."
"Roger!"
Charlie 6 aborted their previous maneuver and followed suit. The battle didn't last long but every move was dancing on the knife's sharp edge. Despite the danger, they bolted forward and entered the building where the suspects had fled, the leading figures tilting their rifles and pointing the barrel at the entrance, ready to snap their weapons and pop any precarious movements.
