Elimination and the new human
The armed police reacted just as quickly. The instant they received the order, they split into squads under their officers' direction and sprinted away.
Judging by the reaction on the roof, they had definitely hit some damned thing.
They were only human, and fear was inevitable, but their fighting spirit was strong enough to overcome their fear of the unknown. Right now, they had only one thought.
Eliminate the target!
As they ran, officers kept shouting among the ranks.
"Check and replace your magazines! Check and replace your magazines..."
Nearby workers, some panicking at the gunfire and others frozen in shock, were also mobilized by the armed police. They manned the nearest water-spraying equipment, while everyone else evacuated.
Since it was the midday break, there was relatively little chaos.
Meanwhile, Huang Jiutian raced downstairs with Tao Xingzhi and Xiao Liu, continuing to act as their eyes.
Once downstairs, Tao Xingzhi took three automatic rifles from an armed police soldier nearby. He kept one and tossed another to Xiao Liu. Just as Huang Jiutian thought he would get one too, the third rifle flew toward the senior official surnamed Li.
At that moment, the potbellied Li Donglai worked the charging handle and raised his rifle just like Tao Xingzhi and Xiao Liu, yet Huang Jiutian found the sight surprisingly natural.
The three set off at a sprint with the armed police soldiers who had stayed behind to protect them.
Almost all the construction site's sprinkler equipment had been activated. Water jets sprayed everywhere, and some armed police soldiers even hauled out high-pressure hoses from the fire suppression system.
As he ran, Huang Jiutian took off his glasses. His vision had never felt so sharp.
"It's heading into the pit with all the excavators!"
The spray everywhere
