You're a US police officer, what are you thinking about going back to the East for?

First shot.

A deafening roar erupted in the empty, unfinished building as the 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle spat out a huge tongue of fire, the shockwave from the muzzle even blowing up a large cloud of dust from the ground.

downstairs.

The bulldozer was crouching behind the hood of the black sedan.

The enormous warhead tore through the air with terrifying kinetic energy and crashed directly into the thick cylinder block of the car engine.

The hard alloy cylinder acted as a shield in that instant, and the large-caliber bullet shattered and tumbled violently upon impact, eventually turning into countless hot and fine metal fragments that swept backward in a radial pattern.

"ah!!"

The enormous impact and debris slammed into the bulldozer's chest.

The bulldozer was incredibly lucky; if it had been wearing the old soft bulletproof vest, it would have been torn in two by now.

But the Level 4 ceramic bulletproof plate that Sterling had just been issued blocked the deadly jet of air.

The ceramic slab shattered instantly, and the enormous impact broke three of the bulldozer's ribs. It groaned and fell backward onto the asphalt road.

Without pausing, K quickly pulled the bolt, sending the scorching brass cartridge case flying to the ground, and the second bullet was chambered.

The scope panned and locked onto the second target.

That was another assault soldier in ACU named Danny, nicknamed "Nail".

The nail was poorly concealed; he was crouching behind the car door.

For a heavy sniper rifle capable of penetrating a light armored vehicle, the metal doors of a civilian car offer absolutely no real resistance.

"Bang!"

The second bullet whistled out.

The bullet easily penetrated the thin metal sheet of the car door; even a level four bulletproof vest couldn't stop this caliber, which had almost no reduced kinetic energy.

Danny had no time to react before the bullet ripped him in half, killing him instantly. Half of his body was almost turned into mincemeat.

Unload the magazine and load the chamber.

The third shot.

"Bang!"

This time, the target is Jacob.

But Jacob's street fighting skills were extremely sharp. The moment the bulldozer was blown away, he realized that the car door was no match for such heavy firepower.

He lunged forward, completely shrinking his body into the protective area of ​​the engine block.

That incredible save saved his life.

"boom!"

The third bullet also struck the hard engine block. The bullet tumbled violently upon impact, tearing off its original trajectory and cutting diagonally into the side armor.

Like the bulldozer, Jacob was also lucky.

The tumbling fragments of the bullet shattered the ceramic bulletproof plate on his side, and the enormous impact broke a row of his ribs. But he survived, clutching his chest and curling up in the shadows under the car in pain.

K watched this scene through the scope and frowned slightly.

Aside from the person hiding behind the car door who was shot dead, the other two policemen hiding behind the engine miraculously withstood the kinetic energy and shrapnel from the anti-materiel rifle and did not die on the spot.

These plainclothes officers from Seattle were wearing much more advanced bulletproof gear than he had expected.

However, this was enough for Team K.

They were just hitmen paid to do their jobs; there was no need to kill all the police. Destroying the frontal resistance and creating an escape route would be enough.

However, just as K fired his third shot, before his right hand could pull the bolt again and his eyes were still glued to the scope, in that instant...

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot, distinctly different from that of an anti-materiel rifle, pierced the air from the rooftop of the auto repair shop diagonally opposite the unfinished building.

A 7.62mm sniper bullet traversed hundreds of meters of night sky, precisely shattering the Swarovski scope on K's TAC-50.

The moment the glass shattered, the bullet traveled straight through the scope's barrel, piercing K's right eye socket, which was pressed tightly against the eyepiece.

"puff!"

K's head exploded instantly, releasing a cloud of red and white blood mist. Fragments of his shattered skull mixed with brain matter splattered all over the concrete support pillar behind him.

He didn't even let out a scream before his massive body stiffened abruptly and then collapsed onto the sleeping mat. In his only remaining left eye, an utter disbelief remained frozen until his death.

How come these low-ranking police officers in plainclothes have such good heavy equipment? And why is there a professional sniper with such terrifying marksmanship on the outskirts?!

at the same time.

"Hiss—hiss—"

The two military smoke grenades that Ghost and Wrench had thrown through the window crack earlier had landed heavily on the asphalt road on the first floor, and began to frantically spew out thick, pungent white smoke, quickly obscuring the view in that direction.

The ghost crouched by the windowsill, catching a glimpse of K's corpse with its head blown open.
