Chapter 20: Unleashing a Bloodbath
Chapter 20: Unleashing a Bloodbath
The five masked men were not unfamiliar with the two patrol officers. They knew that patrol officers were always replaced in the mountains, and they were also aware of the officers' identities.
One of them in particular, Lee Ethan, almost broke into the other's house a little over a week ago and killed the damn cop.
The person who initiated that operation was named David Ross, an executive of the MS-13 gang in Los Angeles. The gang originated on 13th Street in Los Angeles and was one of the top ten gangs in California. He was also a close friend of a former Navy SEAL.
David Ross had barely managed to suppress his murderous intent in the city when his enemy, seemingly in a hurry to be reborn, chased him to the mountains for his shift. With the persuasion of his men, he reluctantly held back, prioritizing the greater good.
But now that enemies are meeting, their eyes are filled with hatred. David's smile behind his mask is extremely ferocious. Today, he finally doesn't have to hold back anymore.
"Looks like your good luck has run out, Ethan Lee. I'm going to cut off your head to pay tribute to my brother and avenge El. The army's elite shouldn't die at the hands of unknown cops."
"Don't worry, boss, he won't survive."
"Cut his flesh piece by piece."
The five men were naturally confident. They were wearing hard-shell level 3 bulletproof vests, which could barely protect them from submachine gun bullets, and they were also carrying various automatic weapons. As for the two cops, what weapons did they have? Two pistols, and it seemed that they didn't even have a shotgun.
With the advantage in my hands, how could I possibly lose?
Are you suggesting the prey is a sharpshooter? Don't be ridiculous. How can two guys who graduated from police academy less than two years ago compare to a former soldier like him who has been fighting on the battlefield for years?
A masked man who was only 1.6 meters tall suddenly asked.
"Boss, that policewoman is pretty good-looking. Can we have some fun with her before killing her?"
David Ross grabbed the other man's collar in an instant.
"Let's avoid any unforeseen complications; we must achieve our goal as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
David released his men. He preferred his former soldiers to these former thugs who had always worked their way up from the bottom. They were undisciplined and had terrible marksmanship—they were practically ready to raise their guns above their heads as a New Year's greeting.
As the group openly crossed the road while firing their guns, a bullet struck one of them in the shinbone.
"Damn it."
David Ross was also shocked by the ruthless shot. The two sides were more than 50 meters apart, and the cop was able to hit him. At this moment, he began to take the other party seriously and hurriedly ordered his men to spread out and surround him.
We must keep Ethan Lee here today.
"Only one of us can leave this world alive today, and that person is definitely not you."
.
Lee Ethan was unaware that someone on the other end harbored a deep grudge against him, and he made up his mind as he watched Evelyn contact headquarters via satellite phone.
"Evelyn, you take Mr. Henry and leave first."
"no."
Evelyn didn't hesitate to refuse. Although she was also scared, it was impossible for her to abandon her partner and run away alone.
Li Yisen grabbed the policewoman by the back of the head and pressed his forehead against hers to calm her down.
"See my marksmanship? One shot, one kill."
"I didn't see it, I was too scared to look up."
"....."
Lee Esen can only say it in a different way.
"I can fight and run on my own. Right now, you're just a burden to me."
Evelyn finally gritted her teeth and nodded.
"I see."
The two quickly fled back through the woods, with Henry looking as if he had just escaped a disaster.
Lee Ethan scrambled and crawled to avoid them, his police uniform becoming filthy as the four men surrounded him.
Lee Ethan takes the opportunity to pretend to accidentally break the body camera, finally managing to retrieve the M15 submachine gun from the system.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, let's see who can get out of this forest."
Lee Esen listened quietly to the faint footsteps; he had a general idea of the enemy's tactics.
The effective range of a pistol is 50 meters. If the opponent keeps a good distance and surrounds him in a pocket formation, he will be unable to put up a fight.
The next second, Li Yisen stood up and met the masked man 70 meters away. Both of them raised their guns at the same time.
Automatic rifle versus submachine gun.
"What?"
The masked man was stunned; where did the other party get a submachine gun?
"Bang bang bang bang bang"
"Bang"
One shot left a bloody hole in the masked man's head.
"Damn it."
This unexpected turn of events startled the three masked men, who immediately opened fire.
Lee Ethan was also firing as he ran.
"Bang bang bang bang"
Bullets struck trees, sending splinters flying. Lee Ethan knocked down another man, blood flowing from a hole in his throat.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
The feeling of dancing on bullets sent Li Yisen's adrenaline soaring; it was both tense and exciting.
Seeing that his line of sight to the enemy was blocked by a large tree, he took out his phone, opened a recording, and set it to play after one minute.
He would subtly move his body, making noise to attract the other party's attention, even if they couldn't see him, he would still move the gun barrel accordingly.
Lee Esen leaned against the tree pit and silently counted the time; soon his recording appeared.
"I XXXX you XXXX, XXXX."
A loud swear word drew their attention; Lee Ethan was praying.
Shining, you need to step up your game. If the next action is going to cost you your life, you need to tell me, otherwise you'll be finished as soon as you stand up and get shot in the head.
The next second, Li Yisen stood up and fired at one of them.
"Bang bang bang"
Three bullets pierced his eye sockets and cheeks, and then he exchanged fire with the remaining person.
"Bang bang bang bang"
"Bang bang bang bang"
Both men fell to the ground. David Ross clutched his waist in pain; two bullets had hit the same spot, piercing his body armor and even wounding his thigh. The enemy, however, must have been in just as bad shape.
Indeed, Li Yisen was in a bad mood. He pulled a steel plate from under his clothes. The bullets were embedded in the steel plate, and he felt pain in his collarbone.
This is the protective padding on the bulletproof vest used by the police to protect the collarbone area, and his padding is the highest grade he bought himself.
After his initial enthusiasm cooled down a bit, Li Yisen couldn't help but complain.
"This is absolutely terrible. Where did all these shootings in America come from?"
In just half a month, he encountered four shooting incidents, including today's high-intensity 1v5, which really made Li Yisen want to curse.
Despite his complaints, Lee Ethan didn't stop moving, quietly circling behind the enemy with the injured thigh.
At this moment, David Ross was leaning against a tree trunk, barely able to straighten his back, his gun aimed straight ahead, determined to die with the enemy, even if it meant his own death.
"Ethan Lee, I acknowledge your strength. If you're a man, come out and fight to the death."
The next second, the bullet pierced through the tree trunk and riddled David Ross with holes. His upper body, which was wearing a bulletproof vest, was okay, but his head was blown open with several holes.
"Finally solved, only one left. By the way, what's this guy muttering about? He seems to know me?"
After thinking for a while and still not remembering who the other party was, Li Yisen didn't bother with his brain and began to search the four corpses.
"Vacheron Constantin?"
Lee Ethan wasn't very knowledgeable about luxury watches, but he could roughly recognize the brand. He remembered that the cheapest of these watches cost around $1, while the top-of-the-line models could even reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Lee continued searching the other corpses, some of which contained gold chains, but he avoided the rings, as they might leave marks on his fingers.
Li Yisen quickly hid the loot he had acquired from the jungle before preparing to deal with the last person.
[Ding! You have looted private property worth over $1 USD. You have received a 1-star resource reward.]
[Ding! You have acquired a 40-square-meter shop in Clermont, valued at $7.]
[Note: System rewards cannot be sold; you can only use them yourself, even if you don't use them.]
Li Yisen immediately stopped in his tracks, surprised that this function existed.
Solving cases earns skills and talents, murders earn weapons, and robberies or thefts earn resources.
When Li Yisen returned to the mountain road, he was stunned again. The masked man whose thigh had been injured was gone, and only a long trail of blood stretched deep into the forest, as if the victim had been dragged in by some being.
"A cougar, a coyote, or a black bear?"
