Chapter 621 - A Warm and Friendly Greeting From LAPD

Suddenly, Selina handed him the tablet and pointed quickly at a few locations. Looking at the red spots marked on several tall buildings in the image, Luke heaved a sigh. “There may be snipers in this area: The third window from the left on the twelfth floor of Botaly Plaza, the fifth window from the right in apartment building No. 52 on East 27th Street, and…” As he reported five locations in a row, Harrison inwardly cursed that these people were all nutjobs.

As long as these five snipers weren’t terrible, they could throw the convoy into chaos.

Snipers were truly a great threat to a convoy which only had rifles and pistols. They were scarier than the earlier RPG.

The convoy slowed down again. The police force which had just cleaned up one batch of criminals swarmed toward the garbage truck and the sewer workers.

A criminal ambush on the road wasn’t a big problem. They either ran off or surrendered when they didn’t see the convoy.

However, the five snipers were either in an apartment or plaza building, which was a much more complicated environment. Going up would take a lot of time.

The convoy could only take a detour.

As Luke patrolled the new route, he considered when he should next make a move.

Why didn’t he just kill that Alex? First of all, there wasn’t really a good opportunity to do so.

Secondly, Alex was currently an important prisoner. Killing him would be slapping the police department in the face. Lastly, because of the hundred-million-dollar reward, Alex had become a means of drawing out a huge number of criminals. Luke could justly take down these criminals during this mission. Blame? Of course that would fall on Alex, this heir to a criminal gang. It was Alex who was offering the hundred-million-dollar reward, not Luke. By getting rid of the criminals, Luke was upholding law and order in L.A. as well as LAPD’s dignity. He should get a whole bunch of medals.

As he was driving, Luke suddenly frowned. “This is Falcon! The No. 206 patrol car two hundred meters in front of the convoy belongs to Westside, but I don’t recognize the two officers in it. Have their front desk check No. 206 ASAP. Be warned, there are two more individuals in the backseat who may be armed.”

Harrison mumbled inwardly, What the hell is with this eyesight and memory? You can even spot that?

Luke wasn’t responsible for just one area.

He was the advance guard who never stopped patrolling the surroundings, which meant that he couldn’t waste time on any one location and could only do a sweep. Even so, he had noticed that something wasn’t right about the police officers in one of the patrol cars. Harrison sent men to deal with the criminals who were pretending to be police officers and had the convoy speed up again. They had been out for less than fifteen minutes, but had already arrested more than forty criminals.

Harrison was under a lot of pressure.

Thankfully, the criminals’ losing streak continued in the second round, and the police still had zero casualties.

The tally was 2:0. Without even firing a shot, Luke continued to spoil the criminals’ plans. The convoy continued to advance toward the east side.

Luke raised his vigilance; the bulk of the third round of attacks would definitely happen here. There were fewer people in this area, and it was easier to play tricks. Soon after they entered the east side, Luke saw a line of vehicles rumble over from not far away. He immediately spoke into his walkie-talkie. “Falcon reporting! There are five large trucks approaching the convoy from the south. There may be more than fifty armed criminals on them. Be prepared to fight.”

As he spoke, he turned the wheel and chased after the five trucks.

The criminals whom they had just cleaned up had been on standby as they lay in ambush, which gave the police enough time to surround them. But these five trucks had chosen the perfect time and location. They were already charging right for the envoy before Luke noticed them, giving him little time to sound a warning.

Considering their speed, they would cover hundreds of meters under a minute, so the situation was unavoidable.

Thankfully, there weren’t any tall buildings around them, only low houses or factories. The convoy didn’t need to worry about attacks from above. Luke was right on the heels of the five trucks. After the criminals from the first truck opened fire at the convoy, Luke and Selina also opened fire without hesitation.

There was no need to give criminals attacking the police a warning. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The length of the trucks was a small hitch in the criminals’ plan.

By the time the criminals in the first truck got out and opened fire, those in the third truck were only just starting to get out. Luke drove parallel to the trucks. As their car passed by, Luke and Selina aimed their M4A1s at the open trucks and fired. The criminals who had yet to get out were immediately on the receiving end of a warm and friendly greeting from LAPD. Screams burst out from three trucks. The criminals who were pouring out fell at the doors; some screamed, some rolled about, and some dropped without making a sound. Luke and Selina didn’t get out of their car. Their car was bulletproof. It was faster and safer for them to shoot from the car.

“Keep an eye on the trucks at the back. I’ll deal with the criminals up front.” With that, Luke turned his gun so that it was aimed at the very front of the trucks.

Over thirty criminals had engaged the police. It was quite a heated battle.

Luke wasn’t hasty. He reloaded his gun and shot twice at every criminal he saw. If they were killed, they were unlucky; if they weren’t, they were lucky. After he emptied a clip, more than ten criminals in the fight collapsed as they were routed. It wasn’t like they were a real force; they were just a group that had been set up for the time being to make a fortune. They didn’t have any courage at all. They could bully the escort convoy when they had the advantage in numbers. But now that more than 60% of them were down, it was impossible for them to continue fighting. The criminals scattered. Those who were lucky ran into Luke’s blind spot and survived the disaster.

Those who were unlucky ran right in Luke’s direction and were shot down.

These were all experience and credit points that had delivered themselves to his door. He certainly couldn’t let them go to waste. “Alright, Falcon has taken care of the criminals in the three trucks in the rear, but there may be survivors. The cleanup crew should be careful,” Luke said into the walkie-talkie before he turned the car and drove to the front from the side to continue with reconnaissance. At HQ, Harrison listened to the report. “Of the five trucks, only the two in front engaged us. The criminals in the three trucks in the rear were attacked by Falcon when they were getting out and basically didn’t take part in the battle at all…” He did some calculations. Almost thirty men had gotten out of the first two trucks, so there must have been thirty to fifty people in the last three trucks as the main force.

In the end, Luke and Selina had taken care of all of them?

Harrison suddenly remembered that Luke had done something similar in Nakatomi Plaza.

A bunch of criminals had been taken down when they were still in the back of the truck. Even Luke wasn’t sure how many people he had killed.
