Hong Kong variety show: From being bitten by a cockroach to becoming a legend

Chapter 155 The Heist of a Billion-Dollar Banknote

The next day, early in the morning.

The sky over Hong Kong was a oppressive, leaden gray, with low-hanging clouds that seemed ready to collapse at any moment. A humid, stifling heat permeated the air, making it difficult to breathe.

Especially when the stacks of banknotes from the Galaxy were stuffed into the armored truck, it made the hearts of those who witnessed it race and their chests tighten.

HSBC and Standard Chartered left with 300 million as collateral.

Hengsheng's car is counting the money.

The passageway had been temporarily blocked off by police with roadblocks and bright yellow police tape. More than twenty PTU officers from the West Kowloon Police Station were stationed in various positions, fully armed.

Sergeant Fat Sha from the West Kowloon PTU Mobile Unit threw his cigarette butt on the ground, cursing, "Damn it, I work hard all month and only earn three thousand dollars. After paying the mortgage, I'm almost penniless. These thugs make more money with a flick of their fingers than I could earn in a hundred lifetimes, and I still have to watch over their transports. Heaven has no eyes! I really want to rob them of all that money..."

""

Colleague He Wenzhan patted Fei Sha on the shoulder: "Fatty, keep your mouth shut. If this gets back to Deng Weitao, you'll be in big trouble. Everyone knows Deng Sir got the short end of the stick from Song Zhaowen, and he's really angry!"

Fei Sha rolled his eyes: "Can't I even think about it? Damn it, I hope today goes smoothly and without any disasters or troubles so that I can play mahjong after get off work."

"It'll be fine. With Inspector Deng leading the team and the entire PTU on the job, who would dare to be disrespectful?"

As soon as He Wenzhan finished speaking, Deng Weijiu's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Attention all groups: The last box of banknotes has been counted. Prepare to depart. Everyone be on high alert. I repeat, everyone, keep your eyes wide open!"

Deng Weitao stood beside the command vehicle, his face even more gloomy than the leaden sky. His left hand still ached faintly after a night's rest. Even though he was extremely unhappy, he still had to work for Song Zhaowen. Where could he go to reason with the cops when they had to bow down to gangsters?

My thoughts drifted back to last night.

After get off work, I complained to Superintendent Richard, but the Englishman just spouted nonsense.

"Put aside your personal emotions. You are a police officer, and protecting citizens' property is your duty. No matter who that citizen is, Song Zhaowen has not broken the law; he is a law-abiding citizen, and his property needs to be protected! Do you understand?"

"I order you to put aside all personal grudges, be at your best, and complete tomorrow's escort mission flawlessly. I want to see it done perfectly. If anything goes wrong, you'll be the first one punished. Do you understand?"

Let's return to the present.

Deng Weitao cursed inwardly: "Damn it, you British guy, you think you're so high and mighty. It's not you who's doing the work."

He vented all his anger on the walkie-talkie.

"Group A, lead vehicle, clear the way."

"Team B, escort vehicle, stay close."

"Group C, support vehicle, keep your distance."

"Group D, side-mounted motorcycles, watch out for the high points on the buildings on both sides."

"I need each and every one of you to be on your guard!"

The convoy slowly started, like a silent, long steel dragon, leaving the dock and merging into the morning traffic. Under the leaden sky, the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm. For the first half hour, apart from the traffic jam, everything was normal and there were no problems.

Sitting in the support vehicle, Fei Sha chewed his gum much faster, his eyes constantly glancing out the window as he muttered, "Damn, this weather—it's really weird."

He Wenzhan drove intently, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. "Say less and concentrate."

The convoy drove smoothly along the planned route, passing through the bustling Central Ring Road and turning onto the relatively quiet Garden Road, beginning its ascent up the hillside. The trees on both sides of the road became increasingly dense, and the number of curves also increased.

Majixian Gorge Road.

As the convoy entered this famous winding mountain road, everyone's hearts involuntarily jumped. The narrow two-way road had a steep mountain wall on one side and a deep valley that made one's legs tremble on the other, with blind spots at every bend.

"Attention all groups, we are entering a high-risk section. Maintain a distance of ten meters between vehicles, and motorcycles on the side should pay attention to the area above the mountain wall."

. '

"Group A received."

"Group B received."

"Group C received."

The walkie-talkies crackled with responses from each group, and everything seemed to be under control.

However, just as the convoy entered a sharp bend of nearly 180 degrees, the vehicles in front and behind temporarily separated due to the curvature of the bend.

"Sizzle~"

A sharp, piercing electrical noise, like an invisible blade, instantly pierced everyone's eardrums! Fatty screamed in pain and ripped off his headset. Of course, he wasn't the only one; the others weren't much better off.

All sound from the walkie-talkie abruptly stopped, leaving only the annoying busy tone!

Just as PTU members were experiencing tinnitus.

"Whoosh~"

The sound of something cutting through the air came from above the mountain wall.

A black figure, like a bat spreading its wings, glided out from a dense thicket on the mountainside, moving so fast that it left only a blur, and flew straight towards the roof of the escort vehicle in the middle.

"Get off! Get off!"

When Fei Sha, who had recovered, saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror. It was exactly what he feared. He hadn't prayed to the gods before leaving home, and he had actually run into robbers.

"Damn it, there are robbers!" Deng Weitao practically roared, shoving open the car door and ignoring the throbbing pain in his ears. He drew his gun and fired at the dark figure in the air: "Roof, eleven o'clock position, I authorize all fire! Don't let them get close to the armored truck!"

"Bang bang bang~"

The officers, realizing what was happening, opened fire, bullets raining down into the air like water, but the gliding figure (Ah Tian) remained unmoved.

His movements were extremely strange and agile. He made several incredible twists and turns in the air, managing to weave through the dense hail of bullets. Only a few bullets grazed the edge of his wingsuit, tearing up a few pieces of fabric.

"Bang!"

With a heavy thud, Ah Tian, ​​like a human cannonball, slammed precisely onto the roof of the armored truck! The enormous impact caused the heavy, bulletproof truck to shudder violently, and a large section of the roof instantly caved in! But he had already secured himself firmly using a special suction device and a cushioning posture, and with a backhand motion, he slammed an electromagnetic pulse device, flashing an eerie red light, hard against the roof near the hood.

"Buzz~"

A low, sickening hum of electricity rang out, the massive armored vehicle jerked to a halt, the engine let out a mournful cry, the RPM plummeted, all the lights on the instrument panel flashed wildly, and then a small area of ​​directional high-power EMP was completely extinguished, instantly paralyzing the core electronic system of this steel monster.

"Target: disabled vehicle! Team B, stop the vehicle immediately, establish a perimeter, and protect the vehicle." Deng Weitao's eyes were bloodshot as he roared the order as he rushed towards the escort vehicle. He knew that once the vehicle lost power, it would be like meat on a chopping board.

However, the attackers' plans went far beyond that.

Almost at the same time that A-Tian launched his attack, huge impacts and explosions came from the front and back of the road at almost the same time.

"The road ahead is blocked!"

"Their escape route is also blocked!"

The walkie-talkie was still busy, but officers at the front and rear were already exchanging messages through shouts. The other side had clearly orchestrated a series of explosions outside, blocking both ends of the road.

Now the West Kowloon Police Station and the escort vehicle are finding it difficult to move forward or backward.

This is not over yet!

"Da da da da~"

A burst of gunfire suddenly erupted from behind the dense forests and rocks on both sides of the mountain road, bullets raining down on the police convoy like hail! The firing points were not just one, but formed a crossfire network! Bullets clanged against the armored police cars, sparks flew, and stray bullets shattered the windows, causing screams and chaos.

"Damn it, it's an automatic rifle!"

The bullets pinned the PTU to one side of the carriage.

But movies are all lies. Trying to use a car door as a bulletproof vest? It's practically useless against a highly penetrating automatic rifle.

Bullets can tear through sheet metal and even penetrate bulletproof vests.

In an instant, half of the PTU team members were shot and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The opponent was not only well-equipped and had excellent marksmanship, but also possessed extremely high tactical awareness!

Deng Weitao tried to get up and fight back several times, but he was pinned down by continuous gunfire and couldn't lift his head.

Slurp~

A few round things were tossed over.

Deng Weitao was so frightened his hair almost stood on end: "A grenade!"

Fortunately, these robbers probably didn't intend to kill everyone.

bang bang bang~

Flashes of light and bursts of smoke followed one after another.

It wasn't a hand grenade, it was a flashbang.

Flashbangs exploded one after another, and Deng Weitao and his men were hit by them at close range.

The remaining team members immediately covered their eyes and screamed in pain, losing their fighting ability.

At this moment, the gunfire subsided slightly.

Deng Weitao slumped in front of the car door, his eyes red and swollen like peaches, tears streaming down his face. He struggled to open his eyelids and could only see several overlapping figures, all of whom were wearing masks.

One of the guys, wearing a half-finished pig-nose mask, even squatted down in front of Deng Weitao.

This person must be wearing a voice changer.

His voice has a slightly electronic quality.

He patted Deng Weitao's cheek with his palm while saying sarcastically, "Elite PTU? Sending you to the ICU."

"You—bastard—" Deng Weitao hissed, struggling to raise his hand to grab the arrogant bastard in front of him, but his arm was limp and wouldn't obey him. The effects of the flashbang and tear gas were still lingering.

The "Pig Nose Mask" seemed to appreciate his appearance, chuckling softly, the electronic laugh sounding even more eerie. He stood up, ignoring Deng Weitao, and gestured to his companion.

The other bandits moved with extreme speed and professionalism. Two men stood guard while the others began to use specially made tools they had brought—not crude cutting, but a precision demolition tool that combined high-frequency vibration and hydraulics—to target the mechanical lock on the rear door of the armored vehicle.

"Buzz—Click!"

Faster than expected, the heavy bulletproof door thudded as the lock was broken. The two thugs pulled together, and the door was opened a crack.

They didn't open all the doors, seemingly to prevent any potential ambush in the carriages. One of them quickly extended a probe with a camera inside and scanned the area.

Judging from this action, these people are very professional!
