US police: outlaws

Chapter 69: Artillery Bombardment in the Rain

Frederick's house was brightly lit, as Eric Frederick had to increase his security forces due to the death of his son.

There were more than a dozen armed security guards, half of whom were veterans. Of course, the most important of them were four Blackwater security personnel, and the leader was a former Delta Force member (one of the four major special forces units).

Security guard salaries are paid according to rank. Non-veterans earn around $4000 a month, veterans around $5500, Blackwater's regular security guards earn $1, and former Delta Force members earn $15000 a week. High-risk missions pay double that.

There were more than ten people inside the house, and dozens of community security personnel outside. Police backup would arrive in less than three minutes, so Eric Frederick felt very safe.

.

The interior of the house was brightly lit and very warm, with the sound of a news channel coming from the television.

A man in his twenties was kneeling beside an elderly woman, holding her hand and chatting. Beside him was a woman in her fifties, whose youthful beauty was still evident.

The old man was Eric Frederick, and the woman was his cousin's wife, Lina Powell.

The young man is the woman's son, and also his son.

He used to be called Joshua Powell, but now he is called Joshua Frederick.

Eric Frederick said softly.

"I will arrange your marriage as soon as possible. Only by starting a family can you truly grow up and take over everything in the Frederick family."

Upon hearing that he was to take over the vast real estate empire, Joshua became even more excited, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse.

"I will not let my father down."

Eric Frederick had an expression that said, "Father believes in you," but in fact, he had already investigated the character of his illegitimate son when his cousin's wife brought him over to recognize him.

He's terrible, even worse than his eldest son. He's capable of fighting, brawling, raping women, and even murder. He's a textbook example of a spendthrift.

He squandered his cousin's inheritance in just a few years after taking over the business; he's definitely not a good heir.

Unfortunately, there was no choice left. He was his only descendant, a child spoiled by a foolish woman.

Eric looked at the woman with a kind smile. She was very beautiful when she was young, which was why he couldn't help but cuckold his cousin.

So this widow still fantasized about becoming the mistress of the Frederick family and receiving their family name.

Never mind, never mind.

As long as he personally raises and educates his future grandchildren, the Frederick family will continue to thrive in America.

Just then, the news on TV changed, broadcasting updates on the desert shooting.

"Regarding the attack on Officer Ethan, the police have..."

Eric Frederick didn't care what was said next; he just stared intently at the police photo on the television.

"Joshua, promise me you'll avenge your sister and brother no matter what, understand?"

Joshua nodded.

"I will avenge my older sister and brother; they are my closest relatives."

Joshua stood up and gestured wildly as he spoke, even standing in front of the window to talk about his future plans.

"I long for Ethan Lee to come down and be with me..."

Before Joshua could finish speaking, before the sound of the glass window shattering could even reach his ears, a violent explosion had already engulfed Joshua, leaving him without a complete corpse.

"..."

The strong wind blew rain into the house, soaking the already charred expensive carpet. The explosion terrified Lina Powell, who collapsed to the ground, her face pale with fright.

Eric Frederick, ignoring his lacerated wound, raised his hand as if to touch the veins that had disappeared.

The next second, Eric Friedrich completely broke down, scratching his face with his fingers and shouting.

"My son, my son, no..."

Two bodyguards guarding the lobby hurriedly helped the boss up and took him away, but the next second the explosion overturned the lobby again. The two bodyguards were killed by shrapnel, while Eric Frederick, who had become delirious, was only injured and could still move.

"Artillery fire."

A sharp warning pierced the night, and the entire security team erupted into chaos.

They never imagined that someone would use artillery in a wealthy area, and judging by its power, it was probably a 75mm howitzer.

"Quickly, take Mr. Frederick away."

Former Delta Force member and now security captain Connor Sanchez ordered his men to drag the man away again, unaware of where the enemy's artillery came from.

The best course of action now is to leave the villa, as it is the primary target of the shelling.

.

On a hillside 600 meters away, after a 75mm howitzer fires a shell, it takes 2 seconds for the shell to recoil and reset. Then, the breechblock is opened to insert the shell that appeared out of nowhere into the chamber, and finally the breechblock is closed to continue firing.

A firing sequence takes nearly 5 seconds, with Lee firing one shot after another, and the temperature of the cannon barrel rising rapidly.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

One shell blasted a large hole in the villa's wall, two shells exploded inside the villa, and three shells caused parts of the villa to collapse, startling some of the security guards who hurriedly fled.

"Run!"

What's the point of risking your life for a few thousand yuan a month? Only professional veterans can stay.

The sound of artillery fire had already attracted the attention of all the residents in the affluent neighborhood. In nearby villas, some spectators witnessed how a modern villa could disappear amidst the old-fashioned cannon fire.

The fourth shell had already caused nearly half of the villa to collapse. The fifth and sixth shells left only ruins, and the smoke and dust were quickly suppressed by the rain.

A child exclaimed in disbelief.

"Dad, is this an alien invasion?"

The parents refused to let the child continue watching and immediately picked up the child and ran out.

Even with artillery deployed, the safe house is no longer safe. What if you stay in the basement and get buried? It's better to run now; there are armed security guards from the community outside.

The entire upscale neighborhood was thrown into turmoil. Dozens of community security personnel stared in disbelief as explosions continued to rise. They didn't want to go, but their superiors were urging them to.

"Damn it, I always ask for a raise but they never agree."

"boom"

"Zi"

Seven consecutive shells were the limit of the M1 howitzer. The high temperature of the barrel could evaporate water droplets, so Lee Esen had to put the howitzer away and then take out an M2 heavy machine gun to aim at the collapsed villa.

The drone, teetering precariously in the sky, has captured footage of a group of about seven people heading towards the garage.

The performance isn't over yet; how can the lead actor leave?

Once the cannon fire started, it wouldn't stop.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"

In the darkness, bullets pierced the rain like a chain of metal and entered the villa. The 12.7×99 mm bullets easily penetrated the thin walls, leaving bullet holes in the concrete ground. Three people fell one after another while trying to escape, and several others were injured.

As for the bullets, Li Yisen got them from the black market. Guns are hard to come by, but bullets are not.

.

Meanwhile, on the other side, security captain Conor Sanchez struggled to carry his employer into the car. The man was seriously injured and delirious, still muttering about his son and bloodline.

Not only was Eric Friedrich injured, but Connor was also shot in the arm; the powerful impact of the large-caliber bullet nearly tore his entire arm apart.

"Quick, drive!"

The only driver who wasn't injured hesitated.

"But Jack hasn't come up yet."

"Never mind that, just drive."

"Yes."

With a throttle press, the car sped out of the gate amidst a hail of bullets, heading straight for the community entrance, where community security personnel were located not far away.

Connor Sanchez finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he was out of the most dangerous situation. This mission was at least three times more difficult and paid three times the normal wage.

"Damn it, if it weren't for protecting people, I'd really like to sneak over and see what those bastards were doing. Bit, head to the medic... no, be careful behind..."

Before Connor could finish speaking, he had already seen a drone crash into the car through the rearview mirror, and only one thought flashed through his mind.

This mission resulted in a loss.

"boom"

The high-speed bulletproof car was blown into a fireball and rolled several times due to inertia, startling the security personnel who arrived at the scene.

Eric Frederick died.
