For some reason, a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of the Green-eyed dwarf's mouth.

The next moment.

The air he loosely grasped actually began to take on color, a faint shade of green.

Suddenly.

The Green-eyed dwarf made a sound from his mouth: "Rat-a-tat-tat!"

Almost at the same time.

Three bloody holes burst open on the Special Police officer's body, and he staggered back two steps.

The next second.

Several nearby Special Police officers opened fire at once, instantly killing that Green-eyed dwarf.

The reason they had not all fired, and the reason they had entered three at a time earlier, was to prevent ricochets and friendly fire.

However.

This was now a special circumstance, so coordinated fire was perfectly normal.

The Female Captain walked over to her team member and examined the wounds on his body.

The wounds were not deep. They did not appear to have damaged any organs.

"Emergency treatment. Send him back to the armored vehicle," the Female Captain ordered.

"All personnel, put on Bulletproof vests, over!"

The Female Captain shouted into the radio, retreated to the rear of the line, quickly geared up again, and launched another assault.

There was another set of Bulletproof vests in the armored vehicle, so changing into them was quick enough.

Inside the armored vehicle.

The Female Captain directly took off her snug Stab-proof clothing, revealing a fitted black shirt beneath.

Even though not a sliver of skin was exposed, her figure's curves could still faintly be seen.

"Holy crap, Captain Xu really has an incredible figure. I couldn't train chest muscles like that even after years."

"Captain Xu, how about marrying me once I earn a first-class merit medal?" A team member changed into his Bulletproof vest and teased her with a grin.

These Special Police officers lived on the edge of life and death every day, so trading jokes now and then was common.

If today had not been such a special situation.

Captain Xu, the Squad leader of this Special Police unit, would probably have sent him out alone to find out what max-level Comprehensive combat felt like. But not today.

Still, Captain Xu had no intention of letting him off. She teased him back:

"Making jokes about me? Guys like you are always the first to die in movies, Xiao Wang."

The Special Police officer called Xiao Wang shrank his neck and did not dare keep mouthing off.

After that.

The entire team was ready to go.

Of the one hundred and fifty personnel, seventy remained outside to prevent any Envy patients from escaping.

Then Captain Xu led the team into action.

Less than eighty people split into several groups and launched a direct assault on the entire building.

After clearing more than ten floors, they arrived at a large open floor, a Fire partition layer unique to high-rises. There was nothing on this level.

Perhaps a few people unwilling to pay rent, or homeless people, might find special ways to get in here.

But now.

It was housing a large number of Envy patients.

They were all short in stature, perfectly suited to this dark and cramped environment.

The instant she saw them, Captain Xu opened fire, immediately sweeping clear an entire section.

Quite a few Envy patients fought back.

But once the Police flashlight shone on them, they were blinded before they could even see clearly.

Before they could say two words, they were executed with gunfire.

But there were simply too many Envy patients.

Quite a few saw the Special Police officers' weapons and began muttering. Green light quickly appeared in their hands as they counterattacked.

But soon.

They discovered that most of their attacks could not inflict fatal injuries.

However.

Whispers arose from the darkness. "Why aren't you afraid of bullets? Why?!"

Once he finished chanting, Captain Xu's Standard rifle immediately fired five rounds:

"Rat! Tat! Tat! Tat! Tat!"

Layers of green light appeared and blocked three bullets, but two still grazed the Envy patient's chest and directly blew off one of his arms.

"Ah... Aaaah!"

"Why aren't you hurt? Why?!" the Envy patient howled miserably. Green light gradually appeared around his left arm, slowly constructing a complete new arm.

At the sight of this.

Not only Captain Xu, but all the Special Police officers felt their scalps crawl.

It was not as if they had never fought or faced life-and-death situations, but this was truly the first time they had witnessed such a bizarre scene.

No matter what.

It was simply too strange.

"Free fire!" Captain Xu gave the order, snapping the Special Police officers back to their senses.

But there were far too many Envy patients around them.

In the brief moment they hesitated, far too many had surrounded them.

"Why are you still alive? Why?" A strange voice rang out, shrill and piercing.

After that voice appeared.

The short Envy patients around them, their eyes glowing green, all spoke in unison:

"Why are you still alive? Why?"

"Why are you still alive? Why?"

"Why are you still alive? Why?"

Each cry rose louder than the last, impossible to suppress even with gunfire.

"Damn it, fall back!" Captain Xu ordered, and the team members began retreating toward the stairwell.

Just then.

A rapid series of gunshots erupted, like the buzzing of a swarm of bees!

"Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~!!"

"Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~!!"

At the same time.

Amid the gunfire, a series of muzzle flashes appeared, striking the Envy patients from behind.

Seeing the flashes coming from the opposite direction, Captain Xu was puzzled.

"Is there a squad at position F? Over."

"No, Captain Xu."

Hearing the gunfire, Captain Xu did not dwell on it and immediately organized a counterattack.

The Envy patients' attention was instantly drawn away by more than half.

The pressure on Captain Xu's side dropped by an unknown amount. They immediately turned their disadvantage around and even began suppressing the Envy patients.

Gunfire continued from both sides.

"Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~! Bzzz~!!"

"Rat! Tat! Tat! Tat! Tat!"

Very soon.

The number of Envy patients across the entire large floor plummeted, and the two sides finally came face-to-face.

However.

At first sight, the Special Police officers did not hold back.

They thought it was a mutated Envy patient and opened fire without the slightest restraint.

"Rat! Tat! Tat! Tat! Tat!"

Muzzle flashes flickered in succession.

But then they witnessed an unbelievable sight.

They saw.

The bullets seemed to freeze in midair, showing no intention of flying forward at all.

In the blink of an eye.

Clink...

Clink...

The bullets fell onto the concrete floor, each making a crisp sound.

"Captain, don't shoot. It's me."

"I'm a Law-abiding citizen." A clean, bright, clear voice rang out, obviously belonging to an energetic young man.

It was completely different from the shrill voices of those Envy patients.

There were no lights on the Fire partition layer, and the shadow beside Chu Yunyi had gone unnoticed.

But Captain Xu remained fully on guard.

Friend or foe, anyone outside the organization who still had the ability to resist had to be treated with caution!

Suddenly.

A Special Police officer pulled out a small canister of Tear gas and tossed it directly at Chu Yunyi's feet.

Hiss... The Tear gas leaked as it slowly rolled to Chu Yunyi's feet.
