Southern Las Vegas, Henderson County, an abandoned mining company.
Boom——
The factory, which had stood in the area for decades, began to collapse from a destroyed hole at one corner like dominoes.
In just a few seconds, the towering factory had collapsed into a huge pile of ruins, with thick dust spreading around like smoke.
Luo An, Winslow, SWAT team mbers, and the police from Henderson County, who were standing not far away, all dodged the dust by either ducking or turning their backs.
"Cough cough..."
As the dust settled, the police from Henderson County stood up. Chief Du En coughed a few tis and speculated while looking at the distant ruins:
"Could those three guys be buried in the factory?"
"Maybe."
Luo An casually responded, feeling that it was unlikely. Seeing Winslow had also changed his weapons and equipnt, Luo An waved his hand and shouted loudly:
"Move out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine SWAT team mbers imdiately raised their riot shields, advanced towards the collapsed factory with weapons at the ready, followed closely by Luo An and Winslow.
The ruins ford by the factory collapse were quite large, but the SWAT team didn’t start searching within the ruins. Instead, under Luo An’s command, they headed straight for where the explosion had occurred.
Upon reaching the designated spot, the SWAT team mbers began a simple search around the area. Luo An put away his weapon and lifted a large piece of sheet tal, finding many dark bricks underneath.
"This was one of the support structures of the factory."
Winslow approached, took a look, and said somberly:
"The factory has been abandoned for too long, many structures were aged, and it collapsed as soon as it was bombed."
"It looks like it was Noble Polard and Barton Polard, the cousins, who intentionally did this."
Luo An released the sheet tal with a loud clang that echoed back to the ruins, then turned to look at a nearby mine shaft, not too far from there.
Following Luo An’s gaze, Winslow also noticed the mine shaft and frowned slightly:
"You an, those three guys ran into the mine shaft?"
"It’s highly probable."
Luo An walked down from the ruins and nodded. The area was already surrounded by nurous heavily ard law enforcent officers. Hiding in the factory was equivalent to a death sentence.
By collapsing the factory, they could use the cover of the thick dust to run into the mine shaft nearby and then look for a chance to escape. Luo An roughly thought through the situation and felt that if he were in their shoes, he would make the sa choice.
Leaving the vast factory ruins for Chief Du En and the Henderson police officers to search, Luo An picked up his weapon again and headed with the SWAT team mbers towards the nearby mine shaft.
Luo An learned from Chief Du En earlier that these mine shafts appeared even before Las Vegas City was established; Henderson County originally developed from a small town due to the mining industry.
Due to economic costs and ti constraints, these mine shafts were not sealed, and what lay inside them was unknown to anyone.
For safety considerations, 9 SWAT team mbers were divided into three groups of three. Luo An and Winslow, back-to-back, turned on the flashlights by their gun barrels and cautiously entered the mine shaft.
As they progressively went deeper, the mine beca darker, and the temperature gradually fell.
"Found fresh footprints!"
Suddenly, Luo An’s communicator on his chest lit up, and a mber from SWAT team #2 spoke softly:
"We found footprints for two people, possibly discovering two enemies."
"We’ll be right there."
Hearing this news, Luo An and Winslow imdiately turned and headed for the tunnel where team #2 was located.
Bang Bang Bang——
Suddenly, intense gunfire erupted from the mine tunnel where team #2 was, accompanied by the group of SWAT team mbers shouting loudly:
"Enemy spotted! Enemy spotted!"
The sudden noise attracted the attention of all groups; Luo An and Winslow, with serious expressions, sprinted with their guns towards the location of team #2.
When the two arrived there, the gunfire had already stopped, not because the battle was over, but because the rifles in the hands of three SWAT Team 2 mbers were snatched away and thrown aside, and the three were engaging in close combat with knives against two enemies.
Hiss—
The two enemies were indeed the Pollard brothers, both looking fierce and grim-faced, holding daggers with swift movents, aiming each strike at the vital parts of the three SWAT mbers, managing to overpower them.
Because the five people were tangled up in the fight, Winslow, afraid of accidentally hitting his teammates with bullets, did not choose to shoot imdiately. Instead, he rushed forward to help the SWAT mbers, planning to separate the Pollard brothers and then shoot at them.
Bang! Bang!
Luo An, on the other hand, wasted no words. Seeing the scene of the fight, he imdiately raised his rifle, aid at the Pollard brothers, and pulled the trigger.
Due to the small area illuminated by the light and the entanglent of the five n, the two bullets did not hit the Pollard brothers’ heads but struck their shoulders instead.
The mont they were hit, the Pollard brothers uncontrollably let out a grunt. At the sa ti, Winslow also ran to the center of the battle, delivering a kick that knocked Noble Polard heavily to the ground.
Thump—
As Noble Polard fell, Barton Polard suddenly seized the chaos, snatched a dagger from a SWAT mber, and slashed towards Winslow’s neck while accurately throwing his own dagger toward Luo An, who was also rushing to the scene.
"Watch out!"
Bang!
Hiss—
Seeing a cold glint attacking his neck, Winslow’s hair stood on end as he quickly leaned back to evade, dodging the deadly dagger but getting kicked in the leg by Barton Polard and falling to the ground.
Seeing the dagger flying towards his head, Luo An didn’t hesitate. Dodging to the side, he lifted his rifle and shot it away to the side, nailing it to the wall of the tunnel.
As Luo An turned back, Winslow and two SWAT mbers were down, while the Pollard brothers swiftly fled the area.
"Son of a bitch!"
Realizing what happened, Winslow cursed loudly while Luo An quickly followed in pursuit, shouting loudly:
"Take note of the marks I left on the wall!"
"Understood!"
Winslow and the two SWAT mbers quickly got up, responded loudly, and as SWAT mbers picked up the weapons on the ground nearby, the other two SWAT teams also ran from other tunnels to this location. Thus, the group imdiately raised their weapons and followed Luo An at a brisk pace.
While tracking the Pollard brothers, Luo An marked a big X on the tunnel wall as a sign for Winslow and the SWAT mbers.
Winslow and the SWAT mbers followed the mark, and upon reaching a crossroads, they all abruptly stopped.
Because at the position of three tunnel entrances, the sa big X appeared!
The faces of the SWAT mbers turned extrely grim, and Winslow’s face darkened as if water could drip from it. He quickly thought of sothing and furiously cursed:
"It’s that damned Assassin raised by a mutt!"
—
anwhile, elsewhere, Luo An was rapidly advancing through the tunnel, relentlessly pursuing the Pollard brothers.
Due to the rugged tunnel, unable to guarantee a hit on the Pollard brothers, Luo An chose not to shoot while running to conserve bullets.
Turning a corner, just as Luo An marked a big X on the wall, a dark figure suddenly flashed from the side, wielding a dagger and rushing towards Luo An’s back.
"Die!"
Barton Polard’s voice was harsh, his face fierce, waiting for this mont.
The next second, to Barton Polard’s astonishnt, Luo An seed to anticipate the sneak attack, deftly sidestepping the dagger while simultaneously raising his rifle and pulling the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots rang out, hitting Barton Polard’s right arm imdiately. Luo An then delivered a kick to his stomach, sending a strong force through him. Barton Polard’s pupils constricted, uncontrollably slamming into the tunnel wall, then heavily crashing to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"You..."
Barton Polard trembled all over as he lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot and staring fiercely at Luo An.
Luo An chuckled, not waiting for him to speak when suddenly two cold glints appeared, attacking fiercely from both his left and right sides!
