Chapter 617 - 280: Clash at the City Gate (Part 2)
Myanmar Police Force, Xia Kingdom Public Security, Local Warlords, The Four Great Families.
As a special police officer of the Xia Kingdom;
What choice should you make?
[Crisis Event Begins!]
[The Bai Family Border Defense Camp will arrive on scene in 2 minutes and 14 seconds.]
[Please make your choice!]
[A. Stand By]
[B. Take Out the Knife-Wielder]
[C. Resist the Bai Family Border Defense Camp]
(Note: Once players make their choice, they must follow through with the selected option; otherwise, it will affect subsequent rewards and earnings, or even result in negative penalties from the system!)
Another honor checkpoint!
Gu Ji’s heart skipped a beat.
What he lacks most now are honor points, after all, the privileges in the exclusive store are truly tempting.
Gu Ji quickly browsed through the checkpoint’s background.
It was apparent that the internal conflict among the Four Great Families on Old Street was almost certain.
Just like the honor checkpoint with the Japanese gangs, the three options presented here also represent three choices of allegiance.
Option A, needless to say, is undoubtedly the choice most in line with the identity of a Xia Kingdom special police officer.
Option B leans towards the Bai Family.
If Gu Ji chooses to take action, it’s likely he would gain the Bai Family’s appreciation, especially since they are in need of manpower right now.
Option C, however, is the one most advantageous to Gu Ji.
Although it appears he’s supporting the other three families, who may or may not appreciate his help, as long as he can leverage the "Wa Xueming" card, he can immediately gain the support of the three families.
As long as the Bai Family is toppled.
Then Gu Ji can rely on Wa Xueming to successfully become one of the new Four Great Families in Northern Myanmar, wielding massive black wealth!
But putting aside the fact that he is a police officer.
Just for this little territory like Old Street, it’s not worth the risk for Gu Ji.
[You have chosen "Stand By"]
[You have been rewarded with "Firearm Mastery (Intermediate)"]
The text dissipated, and a blue light descended.
A wealth of knowledge and shooting skills regarding firearms suddenly filled Gu Ji’s mind, undoubtedly providing significant assistance to his actions.
"Rumble..."
"Tat-tat-tat-tat!"
Just as Gu Ji confirmed his choice, a rapid succession of engine roars and gunfire erupted from the dense forest and the road behind him.
The Bai Family Border Defense Camp had arrived!
It seems the military camp Liu Weijun discovered earlier was indeed the Bai Family Border Defense Camp’s base.
"Let’s not form a triangle; it’s too conspicuous, Gao Bo, move towards the city gate, find cover, and avoid stray bullets!"
In the chaos, Gu Ji turned around to find Liu Weijun and Gao Bo standing back-to-back, the three of them in a triangular stance, maximizing their field of vision and preventing enemy sneak attacks, which had become their tactical instinct.
In the midst of a crowd scattering like headless chickens.
They appeared remarkably calm, perhaps too conspicuous.
"Gu Ji is right, disperse!"
"Watch out!"
As Liu Weijun started to leave, Gao Bo instantly rushed to push him to the ground.
In a flash, the sound of "whoosh-whoosh-whoosh" swept overhead as the Border Defense Camp troops charged forward.
"These folks are truly crazy, not even caring about civilian lives!"
"At this crucial moment, for them to dare enter Old Street, do you think there are any ordinary people left?"
Gu Ji rolled and tumbled to the side of a cement pillar by the city gate.
Looking up.
Three army-green open-top BJ40 vehicles were driving toward the city gate, their sides and tops laden with militiamen brandishing MA-1 MK.1 firearms, "Everyone squat down! Move, and I’ll shoot your damn head off!"
"Ah!"
"Get down quickly! This is the Bai Family Border Defense Camp, do you want to die?"
Upon hearing the warning from the military vehicles, the crowd quickly obeyed, lying flat on the ground, and the shouting voice was all too familiar to Gu Ji.
"That seems to be... Bai Mingliang?!"
Gao Bo’s eyelids twitched.
Before arriving, they had just reviewed the core member identities of the Jinyuan Group collected by Zhao Bai, and the young man with sallow skin and an arrogant demeanor before him was none other than Bai Mingliang, Bai Maoliang’s only son, whose photo hung on the blackboard.
As the convoy reached the city gate.
The bearded man was completely surrounded by the militia and Bai Family’s henchmen, losing any hope of a turnaround.
"Make way."
Bai Mingliang jumped down from the front passenger seat, handgun in hand, making his way through the crowd.
Every civilian he passed trembled in fear, eyes tightly shut, terrified that his wrath might implicate them.
He’s become some kind of damn tyrant!
When he passed by Gao Bo, the guy put on an act, shaking his hips in mock fear, while his mind entertained thoughts of tackling him to the ground right there and earning a second-class merit?
But in the end, it was just a thought.
The mission of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team this time was to rescue hostages.
Tat-tat-tat...
Bai Mingliang closed the distance between himself and the bearded man, standing only five to six meters apart.
The bearded man, clinging to a militiaman, retreated to the base of the city wall, eyes squinting, muscles tensed, intently watching Bai Mingliang, while the hostage, seeing their leader arrive, suddenly lost their fear.
Bai Mingliang calmly raised his handgun, aiming at the bearded man hiding behind the militia.
"Release him immediately."
"You all fall back 100 meters, then I’ll..."
"Bang!"
Before the bearded man could finish his sentence, a gunshot rang out.
No one expected Bai Mingliang to pull the trigger so decisively, the bullet tearing through the air, slicing the ears of both the militiaman and the bearded man, drawing two screams of agony:
"Ah! Ah!!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Another three shots quickly followed.
As the bearded man bent over, clutching his bleeding right cheek and wailing, Bai Mingliang decisively shot his head and chest, killing him on the spot.
"In these critical times, my Bai Family Border Defense Camp will emphasize one final time, anyone daring to carry weapons into the city and disobey orders will be treated as committing a street crime and executed on the spot!"
Bai Mingliang shouted, holding up his handgun.
Upon hearing the warning, everyone around him lowered their heads even further.
Seeing the terror in the crowd’s eyes, Bai Mingliang reveled in his enhanced vanity, scanning the scene before focusing on the Bai Family’s henchmen, "You can’t even handle such trifles, how can I trust you with the city gate, where’s Wa Xueming?"
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Wa, Mr. Wa is... in the building with Mr. Chao."
"What? At this moment, still lounging around, damn it Wa Xueming, courting death!" Bai Mingliang cursed, heading back to the vehicle, "Enter the city, go home!"
The three military vehicles roared with their internal combustion engines, kicking up dust as they left.
The remaining militia began handling the bearded man’s corpse.
It’s hard to imagine, a live human being subjected to frontier militia’s extrajudicial execution, especially when the legitimacy of the Bai Family Border Defense Camp itself remains in question.
"These people are seriously ruthless!" Gao Bo couldn’t hold back from swearing after getting up.
"In these remote corners, the Myanmar Government can’t control anything; everything in Old Street is subject to the Four Great Families and warlords," Liu Weijun said, shaking his head, noticing the striking observation that no one here pulled out their phones to record.
In any other place, even in fear, someone would record what’s happening.
Possibly due to the Bai Family’s strict warning against photographing militia.
The three lined up to pass through the security gate.
Finally stepping onto Old Street, Gao Bo sighed with relief, "What’s our next move, wait for Zhang Zhong and the others, or head to the rally point first?"
"Attention." Suddenly, Gu Ji spoke softly.
Gao Bo instantly noticed two people watching them from the alley corner.
Perhaps something during the earlier chaos caught their attention.
Wearing a floral-patterned shirt with blue and white porcelain designs, and a red handkerchief at the collar, Liu Weijun draped his arm around Gao Bo’s shoulder with a roguish air, "Where shall we three bros hang out later?"
