Chapter 1382: Chapter 1306: Chaotic Battle

"Get the injured out!"

"Snipers, can you see them?"

"Rush in? Rush in?"

Four members of the front-line squad went down instantly. One of them screamed loudly, seemingly unable to die, while the other three fell without moving, unclear about their conditions.

Ni Cha gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes bloodshot, facing the toughest decision.

He needed to decide quickly whether to rush in during the chaos or stop for room-to-room clearing.

No matter which plan he chose, the risks were enormous.

Rushing in immediately was most favorable for capturing. Although they planted a decoy mine inside, this device, similar to a landmine, is meant for prevention. After a sudden explosion, the police outside would be baffled, and so would the people inside.

But it would only last for a brief moment.

If he hesitated further, he could only advance steadily, but doing so would make it very difficult to capture the suspects alive.

Even with a gut feeling, he knew that if the suspect dared to hang a decoy mine on the door, they surely had powerful weapons on their waist. In fact, Ni Cha hadn’t even considered grenade launchers before, thinking they were much harder to obtain than assault rifles.

Which means, if he doesn’t rush in now and proceeds with room-to-room clearing, it would be like fighting in alleyways. Actually, fighting in alleyways is alright, but capturing someone alive in such conditions is highly dangerous.

However, the chief’s order was clear, and unless there’s no choice, Ni Cha would not defy the chief’s order.

But if he continues like this, it’s uncertain how many more lives would be lost. Although the chief didn’t specify the toll, if casualties were too high to hide, causing public outcry, Ni Cha would still be doomed.

Amidst the brief chaos, Ni Cha’s mind became extremely conflicted, with sweat trickling down his anxious face.

He still had to make a rapid decision, but such a major decision could mean the loss of several lives and the end of his career.

Anxiety surged like a flood, nearly overwhelming Ni Cha.

"Ni Cha, the rooms behind the door and to the right were swept by the blast wave, the suspect is in the left room." Jiang Yuan’s voice, sounding like a divine tune, reached Ni Cha’s ears.

This was a Level 6 trace examination—explosion trace examination, coupled with Level 3 pistol shooting bringing CQB (Close Quarters Battle) skills, aiding Jiang Yuan’s judgment.

At the same time, Jiang Yuan also sensed Ni Cha’s hesitation.

Jiang Yuan didn’t need to worry about the consequences. Based on his judgment first, he picked up the microphone and provided Ni Cha with an external aid.

The compliance trained over the days instantly covered Ni Cha’s anxiety.

Ni Cha didn’t have more time to ponder. He quickly said, "Team One advance to the left, Team Two reinforce!" noveldrama

While speaking, Ni Cha also drew his gun and charged forward.

Rationally speaking, entering the room now was still very dangerous, but being at the scene, facing the dust raised by grenades and hearing the wails of subordinates, Ni Cha couldn’t help but get carried away.

Three surveillance cameras quickly gathered, the shaking lenses converging.

Several other cameras quickly repositioned, but none dared to stray from their posts lest the suspect jumps out the window or escapes from somewhere else.

Thud!

Amidst the dull thudding of a battering ram, a towering detective equipped with full armor and a shield shouted and charged into the left room.

The team members behind him all held their guns with one hand and used the other to brace on the person ahead.

Everyone silently counted the seconds.

If there were more decoy mines, at least half the team couldn’t get trapped again.

Even Jiang Yuan was sweating at this moment.

The fragments from the decoy mine all swept towards the right and rear, which normally means the suspect shouldn’t be in the rear or rear rooms.

Similarly, the only room left on the left side probably wouldn’t have decoy mines installed.

This is also a judgment that Criminal Science technicians would easily make during post-incident scene examinations. However, amid the current chaos, it’s not easy to see this based solely on heavily pixelated footage and provide a definitive judgment.

Though Jiang Yuan made such a judgment, he couldn’t help but consider the abundant possibilities. The chances were slim, but it couldn’t be said to be impossible.

In such a short time, the judgments one person can make and the actions a team can take are limited.

In this environment, even the worst actions are better than hesitation.

Bam!

Gunfire rang out from the left room.

This was the most feared part of the operation, yet at this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to another decoy mine or a rolling grenade, the gun’s killing power was much smaller.

Especially at this moment, the gunfire was all intermittent pistol shots, a far cry from the expected assault rifle. If before the fight started, even before encountering decoy mines, everyone hoped to avoid injuries, now the bottom line was set to at least survive.

Bam bam bam.

The detective with the shield and full armor who just entered began firing continuously.

"Gogogo!" The captain of the first squad quickly ordered, pushing on the officer’s shoulder in front, charging into the left room.

Also entering was the shaky, pixelated footage.

Then, Chief Kumar, Jiang Yuan, and others saw a bed lifted and flipped as cover, and in a corner, a tall and a short suspect each extending a hand to shoot from both sides.

Needless to say, the decoy mine had startled the two awake, and time-wise, flipping the bed and grabbing a weapon was already a very quick response.

Bam bam bam...

More gunfire erupted, some from the suspects, more from the subsequent entering police officers.

However, both sides were almost shooting blindly.

The police hid behind the shield bearer to shoot, while the two suspects shot through the window, neither able to penetrate.

As the light blue gunpowder smoke rose, both sides’ visions blurred.

After a burst of chaotic gunfire, the gunshots abruptly ceased in the main bedroom of at most twenty to thirty square meters.

The surge of adrenaline prompted both sides to pull the trigger decisively. Even calm people pulled the trigger much faster than usual.

But the gunfire only paused for a second. In this break of fire, a police officer immediately drew his backup gun.

Bang bang bang...

The sound of clear gunshots filled the brief silence.

The two behind the bed shouted twice, then exerted force, pushing the bed towards the door.

Crash crash...

The two suspects shattered the back window glass, attempting to climb out and escape.

"Move!"

A police officer at the back of the team shouted, stepped forward to identify, and fired into the bed area.

This time, he was using a Remington shotgun.

The seemingly thick bed board barely blocked two shots before shattering into a large C-shaped hole.

A series of bullets that followed penetrated, turning the short suspect at the bed into an A shape.

The target for capture, Niyuman, was tall, so the short suspect was shot dead directly.

"Charge forward." Ni Cha seized the moment, yelling.

The armored police officer with the shield was the young man who first reported to Ni Cha. At this point, there was no retreat, and silently, he lowered his head, charged with the shield towards the bedhead.

Niyuman, who had just pushed the bedhead and smashed the window with a gun handle, upon seeing his companion’s tragic state, abandoned any hope, casually tossed out his gun, protected his head with his hands, and attempted to dive through the narrow window.

Bang!

This time, the officer hiding behind the shield was the first to reach Niyuman, half of his body pressing against Niyuman, causing both their upper bodies to be scratched by glass shards, bleeding.

The police squad below the window, looking up, let out a sigh of disappointment.
