First Blood

The surrounding security personnel hurriedly formed a human wall, trying to stop the extras rushing toward them.

But people in the back kept shoving forward, and the human wall formed by the security personnel was soon left teetering by the hundreds of extras.

These extras were paid too little and worked long hours. Once someone deliberately incited them, it was easy for them to cause trouble on set.

Although the security personnel were armed, the surrounding extras carried no threatening weapons, so they were legally forbidden from opening fire.

After all, it was only a job. These security personnel could not risk going to prison just to protect company property by shooting the extras around them.

"Ms. Payne, we need to leave immediately!"

Faith placed a hand on the holster at her waist and warily looked at the crowd around them.

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

Seeing the extras around them suddenly descend into chaos, Rosalie panicked as well and quickly nodded in agreement.

Faith immediately led the other two bodyguards in escorting Rosalie and Mark north.

To the north were the actors' dressing rooms and the prop warehouse. There were fewer people there, making it safer.

"Multiple dangerous targets detected! Multiple dangerous targets detected!"

But at that moment, Alice's warning suddenly sounded.

Mark hurriedly pulled a display screen from his shoulder bag and saw dozens of people armed with various firearms climbing over the amusement park fence to the north, charging fiercely toward the set.

"They should be members of the Blackfire Gang!"

Mark quickly confirmed their identities.

He finally understood that the unrest caused by the extras over there was merely meant to draw the security personnel's attention.

The armed Blackfire Gang members charging in from behind were the real killing blow meant for them!

At that moment, the two sides were only a little over three hundred meters apart, separated by two buildings serving as dressing rooms and prop warehouses.

"Follow me into the building and find cover immediately!"

Faith charged forward while issuing combat orders to the two members beside her.

She had extensive combat experience and knew that the enemy outnumbered them. They had to seize the terrain advantage if they wanted to fight back.

"Ms. Payne, you and Mark stay here and hide!"

After leaving those final words, Faith and the two bodyguards beside her had already rushed into the building that had originally served as a dressing room.

Rosalie and Mark could only hide behind a nearby car.

Mark took the Electric Shock Gun from his shoulder bag, his eyes fixed on the images on the display screen.

Rosalie also nervously took out a lady's handgun for protection, but judging from the way she held it, she had probably never practiced shooting much.

Bang!

Gunfire soon rang out from ahead.

Through the display screen, Mark saw one of the Blackfire Gang members who had been charging toward them get shot and fall.

The rest scattered in panic, each scrambling to find cover.

At the same time the gunshot rang out, the movements of the rioting extras suddenly froze.

They had dared to cause trouble because they were certain the security personnel would not dare to fire.

Now that they suddenly heard gunfire, they were immediately frightened.

The security personnel blocking them were frightened as well.

They immediately drew the guns from their waists and aimed them at the extras in front of them.

"Who fired that shot?"

"The gunfire came from behind us!"

"..."

The security personnel finally realized that enemies had snuck up on them from behind!

There was no cover where they were standing. If the enemies charged in from behind, they could only take a beating.

"You, you, and you... You guys, come with me and stop the enemies behind us!"

Captain Ross hurriedly picked five members, then sternly ordered the rest, "The others stay here and keep blocking them. If anyone dares charge forward again, shoot immediately!"

The situation was critical. He could no longer worry about the order prohibiting them from firing freely. Their own safety had to come first.

"Yes, Captain!"

The six security personnel who remained in place racked the slides of their pistols, loading them as a trace of killing intent appeared on their faces.

When their lives were threatened, they would not hold back.

Intimidated by the sudden gunfire, the extras finally quieted down and did not dare continue causing trouble.

Some had even begun quietly backing away, preparing to leave.

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat...

At that moment, Faith and the two bodyguards were exchanging fire with more than fifty gangsters across from them.

They used MP7 submachine guns custom-made by Global Security Company. They fired 4.6mm armor-piercing rounds and had both a high rate of fire and tremendous power.

Most of the gangsters on the other side used Glock 17 pistols or AK rifles. Neither their power nor their accuracy could compare.

Bang! Bang!

As the two thunderous shots rang out, huge holes instantly appeared in the chests of two gangsters.

"Snipers!"

The other gangsters were scared out of their wits and scrambled frantically in every direction for cover.

The battlefield situation was clear at a glance.

Even though the gangsters had greater numbers, Faith and the others could still suppress them with their superior weapons and terrain.

That was the caliber of a top-tier security team!

Just then, Ross arrived at the battlefield with five security personnel.

With their support, the gangsters were beaten down so badly that they could not even raise their heads.

"Everyone, be careful! Hold on for another ten minutes. The nearest police station will definitely send officers to support us within ten minutes."

Faith fired while shouting to everyone through the radio.

Buzz!

At that moment, an unfamiliar drone flew over and began circling above Mark's head.

"Not good! The Blackfire Gang sent out a drone too!"

Mark's expression immediately changed. He knew that his and Rosalie's position had probably been exposed.

Sure enough, ten people quickly broke off from the more than fifty Blackfire Gang members and charged toward Mark's position.

"Ms. Payne, be careful! Armed criminals are heading your way!"

Faith immediately warned them over the radio, then ordered the two snipers, "John, Reese, do everything you can to stop them from getting close to Ms. Payne."

"Received!"

The two snipers immediately opened fire on the ten or so Blackfire Gang members charging toward Rosalie and Mark.

Bang! Bang!

Two gangsters were hit in the chest and instantly collapsed to the ground.

The two snipers then fired three more shots each, killing two of them and seriously wounding one.

The remaining five Blackfire Gang members finally entered the snipers' blind spot and successfully survived.

"Ms. Payne, be careful! Five of them survived and are still charging toward you!"

The two snipers could only warn them through the radio.

"Damn it! There are five of them. How can Rosalie stop them by herself?"

An anxious look appeared on Faith's face.

As for Mark, a five-year-old child, she naturally did not consider him combat-capable.

At that moment, the remaining dozens of Blackfire Gang members opened fire together, pinning Faith and the others inside the building. They had no way to go out and help Rosalie!

"They're here!"

Mark raised the Electric Shock Gun and aimed it at the five Blackfire Gang members approaching them.

Rosalie's hand holding the gun shook like a leaf, but when she saw Mark beside her, she forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart and made herself calm down.

"The boss said that whoever catches this brat named Mark will get a one-million-dollar reward!"

As the five men kept approaching, their gazes toward Mark were filled with burning greed.

They had checked through the drone earlier and saw that only Rosalie and Mark were nearby.

They did not think a weak woman and a small child could pose any threat to them.

Bang!

One of them fired at the car body in front of Rosalie and Mark, threatening, "You two, get the hell out here! Otherwise, once we start shooting, you're dead!"

If their boss had not demanded that they bring Mark back alive to claim the reward, they would not have wasted words. They would have rushed over and riddled the two of them with bullets long ago.

Bang!

Rosalie naturally would not surrender. She leaned out and fired a shot at the man who had just spoken.

The two sides were about twenty meters apart. Rosalie, who had almost no shooting experience, naturally failed to hit her target.

The five men on the other side jumped at the gunshot. Once they realized none of them had been hit, they immediately relaxed. "Haha, turns out this woman's a rookie!"

They completely let down their guard and immediately moved in quickly, keeping their guns aimed toward Rosalie.

As for Mark beside Rosalie, they naturally did not see him as a threat.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Rosalie was tense to the extreme, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Bang!

She cautiously fired again, but still did not hit the target.

Bang bang bang...

The five men returned fire, riddling the car body with holes.

Mark kept his body completely hidden behind the car and raised the Electric Shock Gun, ready to fire at any moment.

The Electric Shock Gun had a very short range.

Even though his was the most advanced military-grade Electric Shock Gun, its maximum range was only around fifteen meters, and its magazine held five electric shock rounds.

That meant Mark had to fire all five electric shock rounds in an extremely short time, and every single one had to hit the target.

Otherwise, the enemy would never give him time to replace the magazine or switch weapons.

For someone without much shooting experience, that would be difficult.

But Mark was different.

He had tested it at the hotel before. The instant he fired the Electric Shock Gun, he could calculate where the electric shock round would land based on its muzzle velocity and firing angle.

After a little practice, Mark could hit his target with every shot and almost never made mistakes.

The five men soon entered the Electric Shock Gun's range.

At that moment, all five had their attention on Rosalie, giving Mark an excellent shooting opportunity.

He did not hesitate any longer. He instantly leaped out from the other side of the car and pulled the trigger at the five men closing in.

At that moment, Mark's mind operated at its absolute limit. He felt as if time around him had slowed down.

Not only had the enemy's movements slowed, but even his own motion of raising the gun had become slow.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mark rapidly pulled the trigger while constantly adjusting and moving the muzzle, firing all five electric shock rounds almost instantly.

He clearly saw the expressions of the five men shift from shock to pain, then completely freeze.

Boom!

All five fell to the ground and lost consciousness, their bodies still twitching nonstop.
