Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 626 - 285: On-Site Intelligence

[New Objective: Rescue the hostages and retrieve the core data on telecom fraud and money laundering from the Jinyuan Group!]

"Rat-a-tat! Target eliminated!"

"Report, we have located the suspected hostage position and are moving to the fourth floor."

After Zhou Yang took down one of the armed thugs, the other two quickly dove into the office, while Zhang Wenjun took the opportunity to report to Bi Xin.

Meanwhile, a new game objective appeared in front of Gu Ji’s eyes.

"Quick! Move to the fire escape stairs!"

"Spotted! Straight ahead!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat... Hit! Confirming if the target is down!"

Zhang Wenjun ordered, and the formation immediately narrowed, choosing not to return the same way but to move as a group to another fire escape on the opposite side.

Because the office building is a public structure.

By law, any building over three stories must have two stairwells and fire escape stairs.

Gu Ji had just warned about enemies straight ahead, and Gao Bo instantly raised his gun and shot, hitting the target, trying to verify.

Although Gao Bo had never truly taken down a criminal like Gu Ji had.

The Japan operation, combined with Jinbang training, had long prepared him for such dangerous situations, where if you don’t take down the enemy, it will be you and your teammates who are wounded or killed!

Before Gao Bo could confirm.

Gu Ji fired a preemptive shot, "Confirmed kill."

Having experienced numerous game levels, he knew he had to minimize danger, especially when dealing with high-risk organizations like Jinyuan Group and Liangben, who handled "paradise" drugs and controlled legions of fearless desperados.

They reached the stairwell entrance.

The team instinctively split onto both sides, hugging the walls.

Zhao Hua and Wu Kang took charge of monitoring the rear and the side offices, respectively.

Gao Bo tiptoed forward, listening to the sounds behind the door, indicating it was all clear before Gu Ji placed his left hand on the doorknob.

"Three, two, one!"

"Crash!"

At the moment of opening, Gao Bo and Liu Weijun burst in from both sides of the door, aiming to the left and right of the stairwell platform, and then directing their sights upwards and downwards.

"Xia people! Damn, they are Xia police!"

"Enemy spotted above, three are converging down from the fifth floor, rat-a-tat!"

As Liu Weijun reported, his finger had already pulled the trigger.

Once the rear team of Zhang Wenjun, Zhao Hua, Zhou Yang, and Gu Ji entered, Wu Kang followed and pulled up the rear.

"Check your ammo!"

"Third floor, third floor! Watch the security door!"

"Rat-a-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat..."

Although the scene was fraught with danger, fortunately, everyone had undergone elite Jinbang training, and before this mission, they had participated in countless live-fire drills, reacting swiftly.

They finally reached the vicinity of the fourth-floor security door.

Gao Bo hugged the wall, lightly twisted the doorknob, only to find it was tightly shut.

"Prepare to breach!"

"Understood!"

Zhang Wenjun commanded, and Gao Bo responded with a low voice, pulling a short-barreled 870 shotgun from his waist.

This scene was something they had drilled countless times during live-fire exercises with the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team; the 870 was loaded with special breaching rounds that could instantly destroy metal door locks.

But Gu Ji’s eyelid twitched, sensing something was off.

From entering the atrium and forcefully advancing, all fire escape doors were unlocked without exception, yet the fourth-floor door was locked; combined with armed members of the Bai Family on the third and fifth floors, yet the fourth floor was inexplicably quiet.

When something is unusual, there must be a reason!

Gu Ji grabbed Gao Bo’s shoulder, squeezing it hard, signaling him to stay back.

Immediately, he decisively employed the [Advanced Radar Pulse Reconnaissance Drone].

Instantly, Gu Ji sensed a semi-transparent map appearing before him, which he could freely zoom in and out. As the drone flew over the Old Street Market, he could clearly see all enemy positions and their line of sight directions.

In the wild areas around the Old Street, an array of red dots formed a line converging towards the city, identified as the local warlords of Northern Myanmar.

Within the city, red dots mostly gathered in Golden Phoenix City and the west city, the Bai Family’s territory.

Gu Ji didn’t have time to analyze how the four great families were fighting; he only focused on his immediate environment as his view narrowed.

The entire movement within Jinyuan Building was exposed to him, just like using a wallhack, with red human-shaped icons displaying a 60-degree field of fire, indicating their positions and orientations.

When he focused on the fourth-floor security door ahead.

His heart skipped a beat.

Behind the walls on either side of the door, at least seven or eight people were tightly gathered. In an office not far down the corridor, there were two armed members hiding behind the door.

This meant they were just separated by a wall.

This was an orchestrated ambush!

But the Bai Family’s regular overseers were typically fugitives, seldom receiving specialized training and clueless about handling SWAT assaults, leaving only one possibility:

The fourth floor had expert guidance.

Mercenary reinforcements hired by the Bai Family!

The thought struck Gu Ji’s mind; could the armed members’ earlier cries of "Xia people," "Xia police," have alerted the enemies?

He swiftly drew a concussion bomb from his vest, hooking the safety ring with his left index finger.

Gao Bo instantly understood, while Zhang Wenjun furrowed his brow, seemingly detecting something from Gu Ji’s gaze.

As Gu Ji’s superior when he joined the police force, he knew this kid had many ideas running through his mind.
