Sin City (A Dame to Kill For)

  A suspicious Hummer off-road vehicle appeared near the prison, and the security guards who were cleaning up the battlefield didn't even have time to look around to see if there was anyone else. Anyway, they had won the battle and were still alive, their wages would be paid as usual and bonuses would be issued as usual, which was already very good for them. Yu Fei saw the Hummer and noticed that the window was open, with something reflecting sunlight from the window, either binoculars or a camera. What were they sneaking a peek at?

  "Did you see clearly this time? Their strength is not on the ground, but in the sky. I also underestimated the planes in the sky. It seems that they are indeed mercenaries. If you provoke them, they might even drive tanks to your home."

  Ruan Yingxiu put down the binoculars and stopped looking, while Song Huan dropped the binoculars and slapped his thigh, "How do they have everything? Are they really going to war with me?"

  "Go take a look at the other roads." Ruan Yingxiu's words made the driver immediately drive the Hummer to the city center to see the excitement. At the temporary checkpoint, an armored vehicle had been beaten into a pockmarked face, its body was dented and uneven, the paint had all fallen off, and the metal shell had been penetrated by bullets, revealing the composite ceramic material inside. The soldiers were all crouched inside the car, opening the rear and side shooting windows to fire automatic rifles outward, while the machine gunner poked out of the top window to sweep with his machine gun. A squad of twelve soldiers squeezed into one vehicle was too miserable, the squad leader held the radio handset and kept reporting the situation, but he couldn't see anything, the glass on both sides had been shattered, and after the bulletproof plate was raised, nothing could be seen on either side. The front windshield had been hit by several bullets, the broken glass hadn't fallen off, it was all white and blurry, unable to observe the outside, only able to understand the limited situation through the car's surveillance camera.

  The gangsters outside first patiently used AK-47 automatic rifles to fire at the armored vehicle, and the powerful M43 rifle bullets kept hitting the vehicle, even blowing out the tires. Later, the police fought back desperately, and the marksmen in the police squad moved forward to suppress the gangsters. The gangsters saw their comrades being killed and panicked, using AK guns to continuously sweep the armored vehicle. Many gun barrels were red-hot, and bullets could not accurately hit the target. However, the randomly flying bullets did not hit any pedestrians, as people on the street had run away early. Unfortunately, people in nearby buildings were affected, and the glass wall of an office building was penetrated, causing heavy casualties among the company employees inside.

  "The wooden stocks of the guns are almost on fire, these people can't solve their problems, it seems you need to sell them some heavy weapons, if they can't rob them, buy a part of them. Haven't you seen RPGs in news reports from battlefields all over the world?" Ruan Yingxiu knew that guns and men could no longer solve the problem, it seemed that rocket launchers were needed instead.

  Song Huan thought RPG was just a type of electronic game, he had no idea what a rocket launcher looked like. Ruan Yingxiu didn't have a high opinion of his intelligence either, so she directly handed him a colorful page torn from a magazine, and only then did Song Huan know what an RPG looked like. He continued to make phone calls to his subordinates, telling them to go buy rocket launchers. The Hummer drove past the fiercely battling streets to go watch the excitement elsewhere.

  Elsewhere, the situation was similar, with no casualties among the constabulary. Song Huan's men were like dumplings being fed to dogs, thrown in wave after wave. The local gang, which had been entrenched for twenty years, was unable to withstand the three armored vehicles. Finally, Song Huan and Ruan Yingxiu arrived at their final destination, where gunfire erupted, with dozens of people using vehicles as cover to shoot into the restaurant, while the weapons inside the restaurant also fired back continuously.

  Wu Junwen pulled Ya Yun behind him, "Don't mind them, pay attention to safety. If you get hurt, the president will be unhappy and my company's reputation will be ruined. You don't need to fulfill your duty as a bodyguard, give me your gun, I'll deal with them." Wu Junwen said while using his gun to counterattack. These people had a good professional habit of carrying weapons when entering the restaurant to eat, in order to show that the company was wealthy. The new caliber 6.8mm assault rifle purchased by Wu Junwen was a Mesaada rifle with four lengths of barrels and a conversion kit that could fire AK-47, AK-74, M4 and other types of ammunition, even .308 caliber high-powered rifle bullets. However, using 6.8mm gunpowder made the company appear more wealthy, pursuing the killing power brought by advanced technology. The newly designed 6.8mm bullet had a more powerful kinetic energy than small-caliber bullets and was easier to penetrate bulletproof vests than submachine guns and handguns.

  I fell to the floor of the chaotic restaurant, exhausting all the 6.8mm SPC mid-caliber bullets I had with me. The floor was littered with bullet shells mixed with food residue everywhere. Yayun saw 6.8mm bullet shells for the first time, this kind of ammunition is very rare and few armies are equipped with it. She hid to observe the battle situation. The Mesa rifle in Wujunwen's hand had an 11-inch barrel, the rifle was short and neat, he had already killed several bandits with this gun. When the bullets were finished, Wujunwen picked up Yayun's M4 carbine, he was very familiar with this widespread firearm, and could shoot with one hand. He seriously aimed at the muzzle flash on the other side through the faint smoke screen after the gunfire, knocking down the opponents who threatened everyone's life one by one.

  Wen Qian, also being protected, was blocked by Xu Huaiqing and Lisa at the back. The two were holding Mesa da rifles produced by Magpul Corporation, but in order to carry the number of bullets specified by Yu Fei, they were equipped with 5.56mm SS109 bullets. Each of them had ten spare magazines stored in the ammunition bag on their tactical bulletproof vest. They were also actively responding to sudden situations. Xu Huaiqing knew about Yu Fei's relationship with Wen Qian. This woman would be Yu Fei's wife in the future, and he was willing to spend money to protect her. That relationship couldn't be just an ordinary friendship. He knew that he wanted to make money and get rich, but he needed Yu Fei's trust to do so. If this matter failed, Yu Fei wouldn't use him anymore, so where would he go to make money?

  The restaurant had become a battlefield, with almost nothing left intact. The terrifying sound of Mesa's rifle shots and the AK gunshots from the other side mixed together. Wen Yong was lying down between Xu Huaqing and Wu Junwen, firing back with his M4 carbine in hand. However, the enemy hiding behind the car was difficult to kill with small-caliber bullets. He was anxious and frustrated, feeling like throwing away his rifle. No wonder private security companies sold large-caliber guns - small ones were really useless. Wen Yong hid behind a thick table, but its surface had already been riddled with holes from AK gun M43 bullets, allowing him to see the outside situation through the bullet holes. Due to the poor performance of his gun, Wen Yong couldn't fully utilize his skills and could only accurately shoot at enemies who poked their heads out from behind the car to fire.

  Seeing the battle situation not ideal, Ya Yun thought of the hand grenades on her body. She herself had four, and she took out one and threw it out. The grenade flew in a parabola and finally exploded behind the car. She didn't know if it would harm innocent people, hoping there were no civilians behind the bandits. She then took out another grenade and threw it out, flying in a straight line before rolling under the car and setting the vehicle on fire. The bandits had to abandon their cover and Ya Yun took out her M9F pistol and opened fire at the hiding bandits. Several unlucky guys fell to the ground dead under the hail of bullets.

  Song Huan and Ruan Yingxiu arrived at the scene of the attack on Wu Junwen's street to find that the battle had already ended. Song Huan's men were all lying on the ground, their vehicle still burning. A few people came out of a restaurant to clean up the battlefield. An armored car from a professional security company also arrived at the scene. The MT-LB type tracked armored car towed away the damaged bulletproof car. Wen Yong and Ya Yun had lost their patrol armored car, so they got on the security company's BTR-80 armored car. All the thugs on the scene had been killed. A refrigerated truck sent by the security company helped transport the bodies back and forth. The scene didn't need to be investigated much, and collecting the thugs' weapons was enough to write a case closure report.

  Wu Junwen had just returned to the barracks and told Yu Fei: "All four of my cars are broken."

  "Let me see your car purchase invoice, I'll settle the bill for you. The rental contract needs to be modified, at least four BTR-80s are needed, with lattice-style armor installed. I estimate that next they will replace rocket launchers, their guns no longer pose a threat to us." Yu Fei spent lavishly, buying combat power for the gendarmes, who would definitely be shot to pieces if they went out on patrol in trucks.

  "No problem with the BTR-90, anyway you won't be using the onboard weapons, I'll hand over the vehicle to you." Wu Junwen signaled his mercenaries to drive out the armored vehicle and park it in the empty space of the garrison camp. Yu Fei was basically satisfied with the vehicle, the anti-fire rocket armor had been installed, making the vehicle look like a big birdcage, which could neutralize the threat of RPG-7s.

  MT-LB armored personnel carrier towed back the scrapped bulletproof car, and the military police also got off the armored vehicle one after another. Everyone thought that the bulletproof transport truck was not bad, but it was not a military equipment, but the air conditioner in the car was what they liked most. The BTR-80 armored vehicle in front of the soldiers had eight wheels, which was not a domestic model. The superiors did not provide enough usable weapons for the military police, so whatever was available was used. Anyway, the armored vehicle was not that complicated, and the soldiers could easily learn how to drive it.

  Wen Qian sat in the police car to continue her shift, but she already had a new job. The newly arrived director was not familiar with the local situation, and there were enough new recruits to supplement the police who were attacked. She returned to the gun store as she wished, sitting in the office reading newspapers. She went back to hand over the police car to other colleagues, her adventurous days probably coming to an end.

  Xu Huaiqing drove the bulletproof off-road vehicle behind the police car, while Lisa continued to load bullets into the empty cartridge case. "Your car is too simple, can't you modify it a bit? Install some things in the rear compartment, like the armored cars in the movies, open the sunroof and raise the weapons outside, fire tear gas and pepper spray, most importantly, we need grenade launchers and machine guns. Today's situation allows us to hide outside and remotely control the vehicle's internal weapons."
