"If you keep shooting, we'll enter. Otherwise, how do I know the hostage is safe and sound," roared the pointsman near the vault. "If you surrender, the court might give you so leniency. Don't further complicate your situation."
She looked behind at her commander asking for advice. The commander gestured two fingers at both stacks. Montum must be followed and they would never succumb to robbers' demands.
What the commander ordered was to throw two flashbangs and storm in. Although they could negotiate on better terms with the current advantage, she had a premonition if she negotiated, they would suffer. Explore more adventures at empire
Amidst the suppressive fire, two flashbangs flushed in, piercing the hearing levels inside. The gunfire from the robbers stopped and the operators' team flushed in, covering corners and center, quickly dominating the room.
"Get down!" A man who seed like a manager was ordered. Nobody was certain whether this man was genuine.
Quickly securing the manager, the rest killed a few robbers with guns who didn't throw away their weapons even after being warned repeatedly.
As for the manager, two operators took him outside to safety where they would search and interrogate him for a while before handing him over to the police.
From the man's face through the operator's helt cam, Athena understood this man was a real manager and relayed the ssage—all hands were loose. There was no holding back.
The fight beca fierce. Bullets ricochet across the corridors, prompting the operators to stay away from the wall.
After the initial surprises, the robbers held the remaining ground without fear. Although their numbers had thinned down, the Spirit Foxes needed more ti to eliminate every threat.
When the Spirit Foxes advanced further, they discovered two explosive devices attached to the wall, hidden from their eyes on the way they ca in.
Now that they saw two, everything was too late. "Bomb!"
Only a cry was uttered and an explosion engulfed the entire leading team. Even the commander staying behind could only leap toward cover. The remaining were swung out by the shockwave.
Not yet over, another explosion occurred. The ground quivered as a result. Smokes and fire occupied the vault.
Fortunately, none of the operators died or suffered a huge injury. Given their protective frag-suits manufactured with several black technologies already anticipating the dangers, apart from so confusion and shocks, nothing happened.
Tang Ziyi estimated and prepared so many safeguards for the Spirit Foxes, because she felt terrified listening to Ling Qingyu's whines. Of course, it was also because she reckoned the equipnt would increase the soldiers' experience level and expertise in the coming future which training couldn't enhance.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? Every ti they survived they learned a new lesson. Naturally, Tang Ziyi and Athena were considering VR and AR solutions so that the experience could reach a new height of reality for the Spirit Foxes to train.
The operators at the forefront lay on the floor helplessly as they coughed from the smokes and sudden multiple stimulations, trying to get up. The surviving robbers who already expected the results appeared and opened fire on the 'helpless' Spirit Foxes.
Several shots landed, so even hit the visors. Too many rounds poured on them so that the operators curled in self-protection. In fact, if they endured and resisted, nothing would happen but who could swear for certain, they could do otherwise in the sa scenario?
The 'surviving' operators returned fire and downed two more but their shots were no longer accurate under the dust, allowing a few to disappear with bags.
When the vision cleared up, they helped their fallen comrade and continued clearing, checking the dead robbers.
"Everything's clear."
"Hey, there's a hole underneath." This statent attracted everyone. The commander also ran toward the speaker, studied the hole and imdiately understood the robbers' original plan.
If it weren't for Ling Qingyu's bodyguards on standby, ruining the robbers' rhythm, the heist would have beco the greatest success in history.
From her inference, the robbers had two plans. They snatched and left publicly, already planning the way out by avoiding the CCTV network through a route they created. They would capture the hostages and throw them in an enclosed space till the strangeness was discovered from outside. By then, they were gone.
Two, if found out and surrounded by police, they would pretend to barricade and negotiate trying to prolong the process and complicating the rescue work once there was a mayhem. At the sa ti, they would blow out the hole, they had dug out so many days ago to evacuate safely and disappear from the public eye.
What a brilliant idea, the commander nodded inwardly. Preparation for so many days or even months that there was no way they could dig a tunnel silently underneath quickly.
"Should we pursue them?" The shotgun girl asked. She was the luckiest to not experience what an explosion felt like at close hand.
"Pursue, of course. We must chase them down. You have seen what they are capable of and what they have done to others." The commander patched Cai Ning through the radio and asked for further orders. anwhile, she gestured to a few operators to explore the tunnel but warned them not to go far and lose communication.
"Tunnel you say?" asked Cai Ning from the radio.
"Yes, we've apprehended more and killed so but a few escaped through the tunnel. I've asked my comrades to investigate below. Awaiting for your further orders."
"Understood, wait till K-9 units and more reinforcent arrive. We'll initiate a large manhunt later. For now, stay put."
"We'll scout a few ters then. I recomnd you check every hostage since we strongly believe there might be an insider helping the robbers."
"Already working on it. We'll take over from here; thank you for your service, out."
The commander stopped everyone from chasing. They had completed the work here and should delegate to other units. Even though their group wasn't official, they had to abide by unspoken rules between different departnts for a better relationship.
"Alright, Spirit Fox, we've completed the mission successfully. Initiate a secondary clearance and prepare for a debrief." The commander walked toward the shotgun girl. "You and you will secure this hole. Make sure nothing cos out of it."
The shotgun girl pursed her lips and exchanged a helpless glance with the unlucky teammate beside her. They gotta think about how to spend the boring ti today.
The bank was soon cleaned up, room after room, in case the specialist missed anything. Hostages were arranged outside, and interrogated personally by the detectives. This robbery was obviously planned for months and if not for Spirit Fox's quick reaction, City N Police Force's head would have a hard ti raising up for a long ti.
Soon, Spirit Fox team left and stayed near their vehicles outside, chitty-chatting with excitent, while so laughed at the ones who were 'shot' and 'severely wounded', particularly those engulfed in the explosion.
Well, as won, they also paid attention to attraction and beauty even if their work demanded sothing else. Seeing blackened faces with ash marks from smoke on the skin they showed—the area between the brows and nose--they didn't care about their sisterhood and poked the pain.
As for the robbers who fled, Spirit Fox delegated the mission to other departnts. They had gained too much credit, not that they cared much. Nonetheless, everyone had requested Athena to search for suspects once they had any updates. They weren't giving up on chasing these bastard. How dared these robbers try to force on a woman in front of them?
Well, sirens blared continuously as the much-awaited reinforcent arrived. The group stood tall as they gazed at their fellow foxes, proud and feeling accomplished as they had succeeded within a short ti fra. Perhaps, their comrades, who lost the opportunity for an experience might be envious when they retold the story tonight.
