Chapter 968 There is no way to the sky
The weak muzzle flash kept flickering in the dim room. With the help of the two bulletproof doors of the Firebird as cover, Jack and Clay's precise bursts of fire were as fast as the scythe of death. Live life.
Langston's men were policemen after all, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers. After a brief period of consternation, they all used the large and small cabinets and equipment in the data center as bunkers to fight back.
Although the command vehicle of the wanted criminal team is far away, the directional horn on the roof is extremely powerful, and a door was knocked open by the Firebird. Even the fierce gunfire could not completely cover it up. Live the melody as "Ride of the Valkyries" enters its climax.
“Now we are only one Huey helicopter capable of firing rockets from the Vietnam War.” Clay said loudly with a smile.
Compared with the Korean War, which is never mentioned in the United States, the Vietnam War has become a popular cultural symbol of this country. Together with jeans, rock music, anti-war demonstrations, hippies and a certain president with great imagination, it has formed a symbol of the entire United States. People’s common impression of that golden age.
"Reload!" Jack emptied the second magazine.
Clay's short burst immediately turned into a long burst. After emptying the magazine, Jack also finished replacing the magazine. The red dot sight framed Langston, who was running away. After a slight shake, the gun He shifted his mouth and knocked down a man in a suit who was protecting him to escape.
Now is not the time to kill this guy. You need to keep him alive temporarily so that you can ask him about the location of the next transaction.
Perhaps because Jack and his team’s raid method was too scary, the other side seemed unwilling to fight. Only a few guys were left hiding behind various bunkers and shooting wildly with submachine guns. The rest followed Langston and fled to the other side. export.
The data center transformed from a factory building occupies a large area, with a length of at least sixty or seventy meters from east to west and a width of more than twenty meters. Therefore, there are many entrances and exits. The rolling shutter door that Jack and Clay burst into is located on the east side. Langston and his men were desperately trying to retreat to the west.
On the tarmac to the west of the data center, the huge wings of the AS332 "Super Puma" helicopter had begun to rotate slowly, but it was still unable to fly for a while.
Unlike ordinary small helicopters, this large transport aircraft takes at least ten minutes to go from warming up to checking status and finally taking off.
Outside the factory, Jubal and others were advancing steadily under the cover of two female snipers, one by one clearing out the armed security guards who occupied the commanding heights and were hiding behind bunkers.
At this time, the explosion sounded again. A door on the north side of the factory was blown open, and then two shock bombs were thrown in. Two men and one woman, and three fully armed soldiers joined the chaos. war.
With the addition of Lavoie's three personal bodyguards, the pressure on Jack and Clay suddenly eased. At least half of the submachine guns that were originally firing at them had their guns turned around.
Clay shot a gunman hiding behind a file cabinet and knocked him to the ground with a few "bang bang" shots. He was about to move his gun to aim at another guy hiding behind a server cabinet. He shot like a giant bear. The figure rushed out from the side.
With the sound of shattering glass, the security guard was pressed against the server cabinet by Reacher, watching helplessly as the muzzle of the AR-15 gun in his hand was slowly aimed at the opponent's huge force. own forehead.
As his finger on the trigger hurt, blood and tofu sprayed all over Reacher's face.
"Big guy!" Jack slid to his side, lowered his shoulders and threw the MDX508 on his back into his arms, and took out two magazines from his chest and threw them to him.
"Can you cover me?" The location where Reacher was hiding just now was a little close to the location where Lavoie's three personal bodyguards broke in. He was knocked out of the way by the shock, and now he managed to regain some vision and hearing.
But he obviously didn’t want to let Langston go, and his red and swollen eyes were staring at the place where his figure disappeared. "Don't worry, our people are outside and Langston can't escape." Jack patted Reacher on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow him.
If the opponent is stubbornly resisting here, there may be some trouble. The space inside the factory is too large, the shock bomb effect is average, and there are too many things that can be used as bunkers. It’s okay to clean it up a little bit. trouble.
Cranston and his men obviously have no intention of fighting, and they only want to escape in the transport helicopter. After all, they can get 65 million immediately. Who wants to risk their lives with a bunch of lunatics here?
"We have to complete the deal, get the money, and get out of this damn country before the police and federal agents show up!" Langston crouched behind a filing cabinet, looking at the small door just around the corner and loudly cheering for his men.
The huge engine sound of the AS332 "Super Puma" can be clearly heard. As long as the door is pushed open, one can escape by running a few dozen meters.
At this time, there were only three of Langston's men left, and one of them asked loudly, "What about the others?"
"I will send the money to them. It belongs to my family!" The old guy was talking nonsense, raised his submachine gun above his head and fired with faith, and then kicked out a subordinate next to him.
"Open the door, you idiot!"
The gunfire at this time gradually became sparse. Both Jack and Lavoie's three bodyguards were using silenced weapons. Most of the deafening gunfire at the scene was caused by Langston's men fighting back. .
What this means is naturally self-evident. The guy who was kicked out of the bunker stumbled to the door. As soon as he put his hand on the handle, three of Lavoie's bodyguards set fire to him at the same time.
The corpse fell to the ground, but it also moved the door handle. The small door opened, and the airflow driven by the helicopter propeller from the outside carried dust and blew it in. The small door was blown back, but it was stuck by the corpse that fell to the ground. , brought hope of life to the remaining people.
"Run! Run! Run!" Langston, who was old and mature, emptied the magazine randomly towards the opposite side, took the opportunity to hide behind a subordinate, and used him as a human shield to rush out of the small door.
"Get on the plane quickly!" The old guy stumbled towards the helicopter, and the remaining two men followed him. They also swept a few shuttles at the small door from time to time, trying to prevent anyone from chasing him.
Langston had just put his right hand on the handle on the side of the helicopter and was about to open the hatch when a sharp sound broke through the air.
The old guy was stunned for a moment, only to feel a sudden lightness in his arm that was exerting force, and then the dull sound of Barrett's gunshot reached his ears.
The carrot-thick 50BMG warhead easily broke his arm, and opened a hole in the ground without losing force, stirring up a little smoke.
“Ah!”
Langston stumbled and almost fell to the ground because of the excessive force. Only then did he realize what had happened, and he knelt down holding the bleeding severed arm. The ground wailed loudly.
The helicopter door was suddenly opened. In the stunned expressions of Langston's last two men, O'Donnell and Dixon squeezed the triggers, pouring their anger and bullets on the two men.
