Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 623 - Here Come the Armored Trucks

Chapter 623 Here Come the Armored Trucks

Some of the chatty kids didn’t forget to add that this MV had an anti-violence message.

The patrol officers didn’t know what to say. So, we’re the violent villains in the MV? Isn’t your opinion of LAPD a little too negative?

This farce delayed the convoy for more than ten minutes, before it finally squeezed out of the group of youngsters. While not a single shot had been fired, this had been even more nerve-racking than a battle.

Some of the officers who had almost opened fire just now had sweat on their backs. If they had been just a little more hasty, several youngsters would’ve been injured or killed, which would probably have made the headlines and earned them the condemnation of all L.A. citizens!

Nothing happened to the convoy after that.

When they reached the edge of the industrial zone, the attack they were waiting for finally happened.

Luke’s expression suddenly changed and he gave another warning. “There might be criminals lying in ambush up ahead. Everybody, stay sharp.”

The convoy immediately became more vigilant.

A series of vehicles suddenly emerged from two factories in the distance and charged toward the convoy.

When the officers saw the two vehicles in the lead, they cursed right away. “d.a.m.n it, armored trucks!” “Machine guns! They have machine guns!” “Open fire! Open fire!” Gunshots rang out, but the two customized armored trucks were well-prepared. Their thick steel armor wasn’t scared of ordinary rifle bullets at all. They simply rumbled forward.

The moment the two armored trucks appeared, Luke and Selina quickly shot at the rear tires from behind.

Several cars were following the two armored trucks, but there was a distance between them.

Luke and Selina took advantage of the opening and fired a storm of bullets.

Seeing the rear tires explode, Luke relaxed. Thankfully, these criminals hadn’t used special tires for the armored trucks, or bullets might not have been able to blow them up.

Feeling relieved, he pressed the walkie-talkie. “This is Falcon! We’ve blown up the rear tires of the armored trucks. Switch directions, convoy, switch directions. Keep your distance, keep your distance.”

Hearing that, Harrison immediately gave the order.

It would be a joke to have the police cars confront armored trucks with machine guns.

The enemy had completely turned this hijacking into a war.

The convoy, however, didn’t switch directions immediately since the machine guns on the armored trucks were already firing despite the flat tires.

Tong! Tong! Tong! Tong! Tong! Tong!

Even though Luke had given advance warning, one of the four motorbikes in the lead was barraged with a storm of bullets. The officer on it instantly toppled over, and the motorbike exploded in a fireball.

The other three motorbikes swerved and dodged frantically, two directly falling to slide over the ground.

The two patrol officers were thrown from the motorbikes, but had no time to worry about the pain as they desperately crawled away.

Only one motorbike was able to swing around and hide in a nearby street.

The motorbike patrol only had pistols. They certainly didn’t dare fight the machine guns on the armored trucks.

The convoy was in a mess too.

The patrol cars weren’t as well-trained. Their reactions were slow despite Luke’s warning. Or rather, the armored trucks had shocked them.

Slow to get out of the way, they were instantly warmly welcomed by two M240s.

A row of bullet holes appeared in the winds.h.i.+elds of three patrol police cars as they veered off the road. There was no telling if the officers were still alive. Frowning, Luke said, “Selina, kill the machine gun shooter.”

Selina had already been aiming since early on, and instantly responded, “I don’t have an angle.”

Their car was lower than the armored trucks. The s.h.i.+elds around the machine gun shooter blocked almost all firing lines.

Luke: “I’m going to go between them. Shoot through the gap in the s.h.i.+elds.”

Selina: “Copy.”

The car sped up and approached the two armored trucks.

“Three!” Luke began to count down.

The car shuddered as Luke pushed aside a regular car that was in his way with a bam.

After colliding with the criminals’ cars behind the armored truck with a series of noises, the police car abruptly slowed down. “Two!” Luke continued counting down, his hands steady on the wheel.

“One!”

Finished colliding with the other cars, their police car finally slipped between the two armored trucks smoothly and steadily.

The gaps in the s.h.i.+elds on the sides of the two machine gun shooters were exposed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Luke fired three bullets. One of them hit the s.h.i.+eld, and two hit the shooter on the left, who fell into the truck.

Selina fired a string of bullets over the s.h.i.+eld and into the gap to hit the shooter on the right in the head.

“Target down!” she said quickly.

Luke was relieved.

The two armored trucks with machine guns were the trickiest to deal with. They could cause a large number of casualties in a very short s.p.a.ce of time.

There were more small fry in the cars behind the trucks, but they weren’t big problems.

Thinking that, Luke didn’t aim with intent, but simply fired a barrage with the M4A1 back at what he remembered of the positions of the criminals’ cars.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ahhhhh!” Screams rang out as three unlucky criminals were hit by random bullets.

Luke tossed the empty gun to Selina and swung the car around. Driving the car in reverse, he took out his M500.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Even though both parties were moving, it was only a distance of ten meters, and Luke accurately shot the front wheels of the two armored trucks.

Bang!

The last bullet hit the machine gun position on one of the armored trucks at very close range.

A criminal had just come out to take control of the machine gun, but he was shot in the chest. He hit the s.h.i.+eld and then fell back into the truck.

Luke put the M500 away and said into the comms, “Take note, some of the criminals have bulletproof vests on.”

It had just been a flash, but he had noticed that the machine gun shooter who was. .h.i.t in the chest by the bullets didn’t look right.

As long as there were plates in the bulletproof vest, taking bullets to the chest would only give you some bruises, and wouldn’t even fracture any bones.

Therefore, while it was legal to own guns in most American states, bulletproof vests were strictly regulated.

At HQ, Harrison cursed, but wasn’t too surprised.

Since these criminals had gotten themselves armored trucks, it wasn’t strange that they would have bulletproof vests.

It was a good thing that Luke and Selina had blown up the tires of the armored trucks.

The biggest threat to the convoy was gone. Harrison ordered the convoy to switch directions and go around the armored trucks.

Luke and Selina, however, were asked to stay behind to tend to the injured police officers and hold the criminals back.

This was an order that Harrison dared to give only to Luke. He also gave Luke full permission to act however he saw fit, and Luke could retreat whenever he wanted to.

Luke and Selina were going to confront dozens of criminals on their own. He had no right to stop them from retreating. Luke quickly backed the car into an alley on one side. He simply said, “I’ll get off and approach from the side. You distract them with the car.”
