Chapter 823: Failure at the Last Moment

Almost at the same time when Jack broke into the house, Clay, who was at the back door, also broke into the back door of the small building under the cover of a Marshals Service agent.

They did not have Barrett's cover and assistance to break the door. Clay directly used the door-breaking explosive to blow up the first rusty iron security door, and then a Marshals Service agent skillfully used the door-breaking bullet to knock off the lock of the second wooden door.

The layout of this three-story building is very simple. The front and back doors are connected by a main corridor, and on one side of the main corridor are stairs leading to the second and third floors.

In addition, there is a secondary corridor that intersects the main corridor vertically, forming a cross shape. There are two adjacent large rooms at the four corners of the cross, which is an unconventional whole like a two-thirds nine-square grid. The designer of this room type is probably obsessive-compulsive.

After Clay entered the door, he just met Jack. At this time, Jack shot and killed another gunman, who was hiding at the stairs on the second floor and was about to stick his head out to shoot.

As a result, he was greeted with a short burst of gunfire. The corpse with blood gushing from the neck rolled down the stairs and rolled to Jack's feet before he stepped on it.

"Hold here." Jack waved to Jiejie, who was at the end of the team, and signaled her to guard one side of the secondary corridor. He also arranged the old bailiff and his teammates to squat at the staircase, and finally made a gesture to Clay.

Aubrey and Jubal separated tacitly and followed the two of them, cleaning the rooms on both sides of the secondary corridor. They were limited in number and could not clean up each room safely.

Because according to the usual nature of cheap wooden houses in the United States, there are almost no load-bearing walls except for a few load-bearing columns. Those rooms separated by thin wooden boards can be penetrated by one shot and have no cover effect at all.

So Jack almost used stun guns to clear the way throughout the whole process. He bullied the other party for not being professional enough. The combat effectiveness of these local Latin drug dealers was not a little bit worse than their Mexican counterparts.

"Bang!" A shotgun blasted a big hole in the thin door panel. Aubrey, who was squatting by the door, blocked the flying wood chips with one hand and threw a stun bomb into the hole without raising his head.

After a loud bang, two screams were heard from inside the house. Jack kicked the wall next to the door and kicked a hole, kicking the gunman hiding behind the wall out.

Aubrey kicked the door and entered the house. The MDX508 in his hand made a few light sounds, and he shot the idiot who lost his shotgun. Then he pointed the gun at another woman who was shivering in the corner with her hands raised.

The smell of blood was stronger than the smell of gunpowder in this room. There was a big hole under the window facing the street. Next to the big hole, a corpse with a broken shoulder was lying, and blood was flowing all over the floor. This was the masterpiece of Hannah's Barrett before.

"Safe!"

"The first floor is safe!"

After handcuffing the woman hiding in the corner, the two returned to the corridor. On the other side, Clay and Jubal also finished the cleanup at about the same speed.

Gunshots were heard from time to time at the staircase leading to the first floor. Old Marshal Samuels and his teammates used two assault rifles to keep a close eye on this place, and the gunmen on the second floor did not dare to show their heads at all.

Jack had no intention of rushing to the second floor. Even if there were stun grenades to clear the way, it would be easy to run into a corner. Although he and Clay were wearing "Interceptor" bulletproof vests with quite comprehensive protection, it was not pleasant to be hit by a shotgun at close range.

The two returned to the front of the house. At this time, the front of the small building had been completely suppressed by Hannah's single gun, and no one dared to shoot outside randomly.

Jack looked up and chose a window on the second floor that he liked. He stood under the window and squatted, crossed his hands and grasped his forearms, and nodded to Clay.

Clay threw away the Noveske N4 on his back to reduce the weight, and then pinched a stun grenade and threw it into the window above his head. After a bang, he stepped on Jack's arm and took advantage of the force to rise up.

This was a little trick they had figured out in previous training, inspired by the firefighter training video Jack had seen in his previous life.

In the video, as long as the two firefighters cooperated well, they could help each other climb up a five- or six-story building at a very fast speed.

They didn't have to do this, but as long as they could quickly get to the second floor in a similar way, they could achieve miraculous results in some cases.

But after the drill, it was found that only Jack and Clay could cooperate to complete this tactical action, because Clay's weight, including the weight of the equipment, exceeded 250 pounds, and only Jack could easily do this kind of action of lifting him with both arms and sending him to a certain height.

Climbing the window on the second floor, Clay climbed over the windowsill with agility that was extremely disproportionate to his burly figure. After a few soft sounds and screams, he leaned out of the window again and reached out to the downstairs.

Jack jumped up easily without running up, grabbed Clay's right arm, and the two of them worked together, just like the dozens of times they had practiced before, and successfully completed the coordination of going upstairs.

There was no suspense next. The two of them cooperated tacitly and cleared the rooms and corridors on one side of the second floor at a very fast speed. After ensuring the safety of the staircase, the rest of the people waiting below also went up to the second floor.

Just when everything seemed to be going so smoothly and they were about to clear the last room on the second floor, an accident happened.

A Mercedes-Benz G-type SUV suddenly jumped out of the alley at the back door of the small building. With the screaming brake sound, someone in the car held a submachine gun and fired at the Marshals Service agent who was left at the back door of the small building.

Fortunately, the Marshals' agent reacted quickly and escaped into the house by rolling and crawling. However, almost at the same time, Clay, who had a stun grenade ready to be fired at the door of the room on the second floor, suddenly heard the sound of the window breaking in the room.

Clay did not hesitate at all, stuffed the stun grenade in his hand back into his pocket, then took a half step back, and imitated Jack's previous behavior, breaking through the wooden wall from the corridor and rushing into the last room, just in time to see Maldonado jumping down from the windowsill.

"Puff!" Clay rushed to the windowsill without looking back, and shot a gunman hiding by the door with a backhand shot.

When he rushed to the window, Maldonado had already jumped onto an old sofa in the backyard. After overturning the sofa, he rolled on the ground and staggered to get up, just face to face with DEA ​​agent Gerson who was hiding next to the trash can not far away.

The two men subconsciously raised their guns at the same time, but neither of them fired. Clay, who saw this scene from the second-floor window, roared and was about to raise his gun to shoot, but was pulled away from the window by Jack who followed him in. Then a series of submachine gun bullets hit the window position and wood chips flew everywhere.

When the gunshots stopped, the two men raised their guns and leaned out of the window at the same time, but only saw the taillights of the black Mercedes-Benz G-Class flash by.

"Put down the gun, you son of a bitch!"

"Don't move! Get on the ground!"

The muzzles of the two men turned at the same time, aiming at Agent Gerson who was frozen in place.
