Although Mari current injuries are severe, as long as the bleeding is stopped, her life will not be in danger.
After a moment, Mari pale complexion improved slightly, looking a bit more ruddy than before.
Her breathing was steady, and her physical condition tended towards safety; although she was pale due to blood loss, it was not yet life-threatening.
“Miss Mari, you should rest easy and sleep first.” After saying this, Akari reached out and touched Miri’s forehead.
Fortunately, there was no inflammation or fever caused by the wounds, and Mari was currently still safe.
As for those thugs outside, Akari made up her mind to fight them to the death tonight.
Furthermore, even without a firefight, trying to rely on negotiations to let herself and Miri escape unscathed was basically wishful thinking.
Given that brawny man’s hatred towards her, coupled with the fact that she had hit him with three consecutive shots just now, Akari completely disbelieved that the brawny man would let her and Mari go.
It was just a pity that that fellow suddenly lunged when firing earlier, causing her to only hit his hand and leg.
Otherwise, that fellow should have died just now.
Facing the two lingering remnants inside the abandoned service station, the wounded brawny man simply treated his injuries and glared inside with a fierce gaze.
Now, he no longer wanted to capture them alive, nor did he care about whatever task his employer issued; he just wanted to kill the two women in front of him to avenge being hit by three shots.
“You few, split into two teams and advance under covering fire, kill these two bitches for me!” As the brawny man spoke, although his body ached somewhat, he still mustered his tone to give the order.
Hearing this, the subordinates nearby did not dare to neglect the brawny man’s command, holding their weapons and slowly advancing forward.
Seeing that the two were about to be surrounded, Akari raised her pistol, aimed at the enemy’s first advancing team from behind cover, and shot the thug holding a rifle with a single bullet.
With that single shot, a large bloody hole was blown into the opponent’s head.
This shot frightened several nearby thugs into hiding behind cover, continuously firing towards the direction of the service station.
The chaotic and disorderly gunfire echoed through the silent night.
The bullets they fired splattered about, and Akari could only lie flat within the service station’s cover.
She used an abandoned oil drum to block behind the wall to prevent herself from being hit by stray bullets.
At this distance, although the bullets could not pierce through, flying stray bullets might accidentally take her life.
She certainly didn’t dare to gamble; bullets didn’t have eyes, and she might accidentally get a headshot.
But after the gunfire stopped, flashes of fire and gunshots suddenly flared up in the distance.
Akari poked her head out to look, only to see that gang of thugs in complete disarray, with some even preparing to drive away, but the sound of vehicles driving was quickly covered by a resounding huge roar.
Immediately following was a field-covering explosive roar.
“Boom!” I don’t know when, but a helicopter flew into the sky, and the air-burst bombs suspended from the helicopter were fired towards this side.
Unexpectedly, the Air Police Force’s armed helicopter had been dispatched.
Although the firepower was immense, air-burst bombs were non-lethal ammunition after all, capable only of causing large-scale tinnitus and shock.
But this also marked that Public Security Officers had arrived at the location and quickly took over the battlefield with formidable firepower.
Due to the importance of this operation and the pressure exerted by a mysterious high-ranking figure, the Air Police Force and the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team took the field, and a large number of elites from Headquarters were even transferred to directly surround this place.
“Armed thugs below, hear this!
Immediately lay down your weapons and surrender!
Otherwise, you will be executed on the spot!” The Air Police Force’s helicopter was equipped with a loudspeaker, and the police officer persuading surrender from above did not hesitate, shouting directly and loudly.
If they didn’t surrender, they would be executed on the spot!
It was apparent that the Public Security Bureau was playing for keeps this time.
To encircle and suppress this gang of thugs, over 300 Public Security Officers turned out in full force, even bringing in Defense Force tanks, whose vehicle-mounted machine guns kept strafing this place.
The Defense Force’s tanks rolled over the highway, and the Public Security Officers on board had cold expressions, simply and single-mindedly executing orders.
Before long, the remaining thugs fell one after another; about a dozen suffered heavy casualties, and those who were seriously or lightly injured were directly detained and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment first.
As for the dead, they could only wait for subsequent forensic doctors to handle and collect the bodies.
There were still a dozen or so who surrendered; these people successively dropped their weapons, placed their guns on the ground, and knelt on one knee with their hands raised in surrender.
About half a squadron of Public Security Officers stepped forward, their rifles equipped with high-wattage flashlights, sweeping and scanning towards this direction.
These people advanced in combat formation, with extremely professional and practiced movements, not looking like Public Security Officers at all.
Several people directly pinned the dozen or so surrendered criminals to the ground and put handcuffs on all of them.
Akari observed that the advancing team and methods of these people were extremely professional, far beyond what Public Security Officers could accomplish.
She suspected that these people were Defense Force soldiers in changed uniforms.
Being professional soldiers, everyone naturally tacitly understood each other’s marching formations and tactics.
“The people inside, come out immediately!” A Public Security Officer raised a rifle, sweeping the flashlight in his hand, and shouted loudly towards the direction where the two were located.
“Don’t shoot, we are survivors.” Faced with so many fully armed Public Security Officers, Akari wouldn’t dare to commit wrongdoings even if she had ten guts.
Furthermore, she was a victim who reported the crime, so presumably these Public Security Officers wouldn’t make things difficult for her.
“This young lady was injured in the chaos just now, attacked by those armed thugs, and the wound on her abdomen has currently stopped bleeding.” “However, this young lady has lost too much blood; please send her to the hospital for emergency medical treatment.” Carrying the pale-faced Miri on her back, Akari shouted loudly to one of the Public Security Officers.
That Public Security Officer was stunned and delayed taking action for a moment; urged by his companion beside him, he finally carried Miri onto his own back.
And Zhu Yuan naturally took in this entire scene at the site.
“Senior Qingyi, what you said was indeed correct; back then I shouldn’t have brought up any damn presumptive guilt, I should have just arrested this little one directly.” Zhu Yuan’s expression was complex as she drew handcuffs from her waist and walked towards Akari’s location.
“Officer Zhu Yuan, could it be that you’ve come to arrest me?” To prevent evidence of crimes from leaking, Akari deliberately retrieved her pistol in advance, along with the temporary items rewarded by the system.
“Criminal suspect, we suspect you are connected to this Outer Ring armed kidnapping and attack case.
You are now being summoned and detained.
Until this case is completely settled, the Public Security Bureau has the right to detain you.” “You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will become testimony adopted by our bureau.” With a serious expression, and under the gazes of Qingyi and Seth, Zhu Yuan intended to lock the handcuffs onto Akari’s hands.
But soon, a pair of strong arms stopped Zhu Yuan’s arm.
The one who stopped her was unexpectedly that Public Security Officer who had just carried Mari on his back and sent her to the stretcher.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
