Chapter 38 - The Colonel who Questions Life!

Seeing this, all the members of Team Bravo continued to ascend to the floors above.

 

The environment inside the entire residential building was unusually quiet, which meant that even though they were stepping lightly, they could still hear the occasional rustling of footsteps.

 

From the second floor to the third floor, the smell of blood lingered in their noses the entire time.

 

As they reached the final step onto the third floor and advanced a few meters forward into the corridor entrance, all the Special Police officers of Team Bravo immediately saw the remaining four members of Team Alpha lying in a pool of blood over there!

 

Just like the Special Police officers from the second floor, these members of Team Alpha, including their captain, had all been killed, none of them alive!

 

They were still one step too late!

 

For a moment, as they looked at the bodies of their deceased comrades, all the Special Police officers of Team Bravo were filled with an extremely solemn emotion.

 

From the moment Team Alpha's members discovered the enemy to their arrival here, it had only been a short two or three minutes.

 

Immediately after, Youja, the Team Bravo captain who had been crouched down quickly checking the bodies, stood up and said to the others beside him, "Except for two fatal wounds to the neck, all the gunshot wounds on the other bodies appear to have been caused by the same type of handgun bullets."

 

As his words fell,

 

The Special Police officers of Team Bravo, who had been surveying the surrounding area on guard, all looked at him with incredulous expressions. The next moment, one of the Special Police officers spoke up to confirm, "Captain, are you suggesting that Team Alpha was taken down by the enemy using only a knife and a handgun?!"

 

Upon hearing this, Youja didn't speak but simply nodded silently with a heavy heart.

 

At that moment, the gazes of all the Special Police officers of Team Bravo toward the bodies of their comrades instantly changed, their eyes showing a few more expressions of horror.

 

What a concept!

 

Every member of Team Alpha was fully armed. How could they have been taken out by that mercenary alone, using only a knife and a handgun?!

 

Obviously, the Special Police officers of Team Bravo did not fully believe this conclusion, but now the facts were right before their eyes—they had no choice but to believe it!

 

Is this Lu Ting really that strong?!

 

However, just then, Captain Youja of Team Bravo carefully spoke up, "Although all members of Team Alpha have been killed, I believe we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy launched a surprise attack from the shadows."

 

The complete annihilation of Team Alpha was undoubtedly a huge and heavy blow to these Special Police officers.

 

Especially when they learned that their comrades had been taken down by the enemy with just a knife and a handgun, the psyche of all the Special Police officers of Team Bravo underwent a change!

 

From initially being confident in capturing the enemy to now harboring feelings of fear and dread toward them.

 

As a Special Police officer, the worst thing that could happen was to have such a mentality!

 

Because if you start to fear and dread the enemy you are about to face, then in this battle, you are already at a disadvantageous position.

 

Captain Youja of Team Bravo did not want his team members to start harboring any fear or dread toward the enemy they had yet to encounter. Such emotions would hinder their ability to perform well in battle.

 

Upon hearing their captain's analysis, the other Special Police officers of Team Bravo all showed expressions of agreement. After all, the enemy had entered the residential building ahead of them, lurking in the shadows while they were out in the open.

 

It wasn't impossible for the prepared enemy to launch a surprise attack!

 

"Fuck!"

 

One Special Police officer, unable to contain his anger any longer, gritted his teeth and cursed aloud, "You sewer rat, always sneaking around for a surprise attack from behind! Come out and face us if you've got the guts!"

 

Then, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Come out if you hear me! You bastard! You think you can get away?"

 

"You better keep hiding and hope I don't find you, or I'll fucking kill you, you son of a bitch! Spit!"

 

As he finished speaking, this Special Police officer still seemed unsatisfied. He turned his head and spat forcefully, as if he had spit in Lu Ting's face!

 

Naturally, his words reached Lu Ting's ears easily, hidden in a room along this corridor-style hallway.

 

For Lu Ting, who remained crouched silently without any movement, staring down at the empty space below the room, his eyes momentarily darkened with intense killing intent.

 

He didn't care about what the Special Police officers were saying about him always resorting to surprise attacks.

 

So what if it's a surprise attack?

A surprise attack is just one of many tactics, right?

Moreover, as long as he could efficiently eliminate all these Special Police officers, he didn't care whether it was a surprise attack or not!

 

Besides,

 

These Special Police officers and his own combat strength were simply not on the same level!

 

Meanwhile, after the Special Police officer shouted in anger, Captain Youja of Team Bravo immediately cast a warning glance at him and rebuked, "Shut your filthy mouth, Sando! Are you afraid he doesn't know we're here?!"

 

Although there were no signs of any abnormalities in the current environment, it didn't mean that the enemy wasn't lurking nearby, searching for the right opportunity to strike!

 

Upon hearing Captain Youja's rebuke, the Special Police officer closed his mouth sullenly and returned to a vigilant state.

 

Captain Youja then pressed the button on his chest-mounted radio and reported to the colonel on the other end, "Colonel, Team Alpha has been completely wiped out. After our arrival, we haven't yet discovered any trace of the enemy."

 

On the other side,

 

In the open space in front of this residential building, nearly thirty minutes had passed since the last explosion of the SOHG grenade. The ordinary civilians who had originally been in this small market were all evacuated by the police.

 

Inside the black Special Police transport vehicle, the colonel sat upright in the back seat. Upon hearing the latest battle situation from the radio in his hand, his expression once again darkened noticeably.

 

Team Alpha completely wiped out?!

 

It had only been a short span of several tens of minutes since Teams A and B entered the residential building, and now I'm told that an eight-man Special Police team was taken out by Lu Ting alone?!
