In this election, there's no need to mention drug prohibition; if anyone shows even the slightest intention to combat crime, they'll be shot dead within three days.
People like Ms. Maria are a thorn in the side of drug lords.
She shouted loudly on the stage, completely unaware that three gunmen below the stage had already grabbed their weapons.
At that moment, Lu Li fired the first shot!
The silenced pistol was carried inconspicuously at the waist, concealed by the jacket; the bullets inside had already been imbued with the mind's intent.
Lu Li pulled the trigger, and with a "whoosh," a bullet spun rapidly out of the barrel and shot into the air.
The 9mm bullet weighs less than 10 grams, making it very easy to control with mind control.
The bullet flew past the cheering crowd, plunged down, and pierced the upper right abdomen of a man.
The moment the man placed his hand on the gun handle, his liver was pierced by a bullet.
The excruciating pain from his whole body spasming rendered him unable to make a sound.
Moreover, there was very little bleeding in this area, and there was no blood on the clothes.
The gunman sent by the drug lord slowly collapsed to the ground, inconspicuous in the frenzied atmosphere that resembled a concert.
The sound of the pistol firing with its silencer went unnoticed.
Lu Li fired two more shots, the bullets curving in a parabolic trajectory, striking the livers of the other two assassins and ending their lives silently.
[I never thought of giving up, I've been fighting bravely, and now I need your help...]
The atmosphere reached its peak with the woman's shouts, and a deafening roar erupted.
Lu Li whispered into his earpiece:
[Objective achieved. The body is located at the 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, close to the podium.]
Aurora's voice quickly came through: "[I'll handle it right away]"
She walked through the crowd with a line of campaign committee staff and soon saw the body.
Two of the bodies, though squeezed by the crowd, remained standing.
Aurora was very puzzled. Lu Li was on the left side of the podium; there shouldn't have been any angle for him to shoot. How did he manage to kill the three gunmen?
But she didn't have time to think further; she quickly led her men to carry the body away.
To an outsider, they would look like three fanatical fans who had fainted from excitement.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Aurora carefully examined the body and was immediately horrified.
These gunmen were all carrying M67 fragmentation grenade! And C4 bomb the size of a brick was found on one of them!
Just then, cheers erupted again from the rally area.
With such a densely packed population, the consequences of an explosion would be unimaginable!
At this moment, Aurora was very glad that the lady had made such a wise decision to recruit Lu Li in advance.
~~~~~~~~~
With the threat eliminated, Lu Li kept a close watch on things while simultaneously taking out his phone to attend to his own business.
Another important goal I had upon returning was to acquire a large sniper rifle.
Especially after manipulating bullets to curve and kill enemies, Lu Li couldn't wait to try controlling... a turning shell.
That's right, he wants to buy a cannon, not too cumbersome, the kind that can be deployed quickly.
He happened to be very satisfied with the heavy machine guns and rocket launchers produced by Northern Industries.
So I went directly to the official website of "Northern Industries" online and started browsing.
"Oil, minerals... found—international defense cooperation!"
My fingers swiped around until I found the page I wanted to see.
This sight made Lu Li's mouth water; the items were divided into several subcategories—
Mobile Assault: Sells various tanks, wheeled armored vehicles, and more.
Smart munitions: various missiles, cruise missiles, etc.
What Lu Li wanted was in the "firepower strike" category.
There were multiple rocket launchers and various cannons here, and he quickly took a liking to one:
"The AH4 ultra-light howitzer, 155mm caliber, 30km range, combat weight 4.2 tons... that's it!"
The picture shows a very clean-looking "towed artillery," with a range and weight that Lu Li is quite satisfied with.
If it weighs 4.2 tons, both I and Xiao Cha can exert 6,000 jin (3,000 kg) of force, so the two of us can easily carry it around.
Now it's just a matter of purchasing.
Lu Li vaguely felt that Aurora's capabilities were probably insufficient for this latest type of cannon.
Just as he was pondering this, the gathering came to an end.
~~~~~~~~~
The rally ended close to 11 p. m.
Aurora immediately reported the situation of the three gunmen to the lady, emphasizing the use of grenades and C4 bomb.
"The bomb weighed 5 kilograms and has been defused."
After hearing the report, not only Ms. Maria, but everyone else looked very grim.
No one noticed anything amiss just now. If it weren't for Lu Li, it would have been a tragedy that shocked the entire nation!
Although Ms. Maria had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear at this moment.
She quickly thanked Lu Li: "The Drug cartel is absolutely ruthless! Thank you so much for being here!"
Lu Li humbly replied, "This is what I should do."
At this moment, Aurora asked, "How... did you hit the target?"
Upon hearing this, Joey and Lieutenant Reyes also perked up their ears to listen.
The fact that there were three identical gunshot wounds on the body is truly unbelievable.
Lu Li laughed, "My bullets can curve."
This was clearly the truth, but no one believed it, thinking that Lu Li didn't want to tell them.
Ms. Maria smiled and said, "Let's go back to the City Hall first, Lu Li. Please ride in the same car as me."
Lu Li was eager to discuss the cannons, so he was naturally happy to oblige.
~~~~~~~~~~
After getting into the lady's bulletproof Audi, the group drove back the way they came.
At this moment, Aurora was driving, and Lieutenant Reyes was in the passenger seat; both were trusted confidants.
Ms. Maria looked at the itinerary and solemnly said to Lu Li:
"You have many more street speeches and campaign rallies to come, so I'm sorry to trouble you."
Lu Li nodded and said, "It's only right, ma'am, there's no need for you to be so polite."
Ms. Maria smiled gently, then instructed Aurora:
"Second Lieutenant, please make sure to meet all of Lu Li's requests and provide him with the greatest possible convenience."
Before Aurora could reply, Lu Li said:
"Speaking of which, there's something I need to discuss. I'd like to purchase the 'AH4 ultra-light howitzer' from Northern Industries in Xia Country. I wonder if you could facilitate that?"
Ms. Maria, who knew nothing about weaponry, looked at Aurora.
Aurora then looked at Lieutenant Reyes and said, "This requires direct contact with Northern Industries, preferably with the military involved."
Lieutenant Reyes hesitated and remained silent.
Ms. Maria replied solemnly, "If it's inconvenient, I'll contact Colonel [Garcia] directly."
Lieutenant Reyes then said:
"These artillery pieces are expensive, not ordinary weaponry. The oil-producing country spent $8.2 million to buy just six. It is indeed more appropriate for you to convey this message."
Ms. Maria nodded and said to Lu Li:
"It's too late today, I'll contact the colonel first thing tomorrow morning."
Lu Li nodded slightly. "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. This is the only way I can repay you right now."
Ms. Maria said meaningfully, "Once I win the election, we won't need to go through all this trouble."
This was a veiled reminder, which Lu Li naturally understood. He smiled but said nothing more.
