Chapter 886 - Hostage (1/2)

Chapter 886: Hostage

The Xin Embassy was attacked by an unidentified armed force, and the entire Venice Street was shut down. A total of 14 civillians, 8 agents, 11 Los Santos polices, and 6 SWAT members were killed in the attack and 37 people were injured. Even the Los Santos SWAT team that came to support was also suppressed by the firepower of the enemy to be forced to take cover.

Yellow tape blocked off Venice Street. Police vans and reporters’ vehicles completely congested the area.

The journalists who weren’t afraid of death even set up cameras and brought first-hand information to the viewers around the globe. Although the Los Santos Police Department wanted to conceal their own failures, they couldn’t forcefully clear the area while facing so many cameras.

Ten minutes ago, all unidentified armed forces had already entered the embassy and engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the security in the embassy. According to law, although security personnel in the embassy were allowed to possess weapons for self-defense, the weapons allowed into the embassy were limited to non-automatic weapons such as pistols.

With just a few pistols, it obviously wasn’t enough to fight those “terrorists” armed to the teeth. After finishing off several security personnel, the militants divided into three groups and broke through the embassy’s line of defense without much effort. They kicked down the wooden door blocked by a closet and rushed into the hall with rifles.

At that point, the mission was going well, but that was the end.

The captain lifted his fist and the three mercenaries behind him understood. They rushed to the stairs without a moment of hesitation. However, at that moment, a fierce wind attacked the captain from the side, cutting through his Kevlar material at his throat.

There was no screaming. One person out the team of four was already killed.

The soldiers rushing to the stairs immediately turned around, but the next scene stunned them.

Their captain stood there in a weird manner as if he was held by an unseen hand behind him. However, while they were stunned, their movements didn’t stop at all. Three guns fired and the crossfire penetrated the already dead captain.

Zhu Yu, who started the optical illusion module, held the body of the captain with her right arm like a shield. There was no fear on her face, even if the impact from her right arm almost dislocated her joint.

Even with her genetically-strengthened arm muscles, it was difficult to cut through Kevlar material with a fruit knife. She understood the situation and immediately threw away the fruit knife in her left hand without hesitation. She used her leg and picked up the assault rifle on the ground. Her left arm sandwiched the gun in her waist and returned fire at the staircase.

Very effective counterattack!

This type of unidentified rifle significantly enhanced its penetrating power, and the luxurious wooden stairs turned into sawdust. By using the short time gap when the enemy changed their clips, Zhu Yu suddenly dropped the body and rolled onto one side.

As long as she escaped the eyes of these mercenaries for two seconds, they wouldn’t be able to find her!

However, at that moment, a signal bomb was thrown from the upper floor. The bang flickered while the smoke moved up to the roof at the same time.

Zhu Yu was perplexed and couldn’t understand the significance of the move. At that moment, the water spraying down from the roof caused her heart to sink instantly.

The smoke of the signal bomb triggered the smoke alarm! While the alarm bells rang, the water sprinkling from the ceiling outlined her figure.

“Bang!”

Blood splattered on her shoulder and stained the water droplets a light red.

Strengthened bullets penetrated the thin layer of graphene material.

Zhu Yu kept her mouth shut and was just about to escape to the door. Another round of bullets hit her left leg. Without the slightest suspense, she stumbled down onto muddy floor tiles.

A muzzle pointed at her head and Zhu Yu closed her eyes.

However, the expected gunshot didn’t ring out. The other person used a force that almost stopped her breathing and stepped onto her slender neck with one foot. Followed by a dry cough, white foam mixed with water droplets flowed out of her mouth.

At that time, she saw with her blurred vision that a man was squatting in front of her. He lifted his mask and smiled.

“Is that the optical illusion model? We long suspected you might have mastered this technology. It seems we were correct.”

“Let me introduce myself, I’m Cham Rothschild. You can call me Mr. Rothschild. It’s a great surname. Am I right?”

“Then beautiful lady… can I borrow those headphones?”

Without intending to seek her consent, Cham pulled off the headset on Zhu Yu’s head.
