Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 631 - 287: Extreme Danger

Dragon and Tiger Assault Team Command Center.

Lei Wanshan’s face was calm, but as a long-time partner, Li Ruilin could detect an emotional fluctuation in Mr. Lei’s words.

It’s important to note that Lei Wanshan is the ace elite of Wu Province’s SWAT team.

Even nationwide, he ranks among the top tier, having won awards in international SWAT tactical exchanges multiple times.

Therefore, getting his evaluation of "not simple" is indeed rare.

"Do you think this kid has a problem?"

"He must have received other special training in private."

Ordinarily, a regular person wouldn’t consider using Jinyuan Group’s resources to trade with local warlords.

Gu Ji’s way of thinking leans more towards that of an informant or mercenary, with practicality at its core.

But admittedly, their mission was extremely perilous from the start.

If they were besieged by the three major families or local warlords and couldn’t escape, at a critical moment, this data account might indeed save their lives.

To some extent, it’s also to better complete the mission.

Lei Wanshan’s words inevitably reminded Li Ruilin of when his old comrade Qiu Junrong asked him during the Jinbang training if he had secretly given Gu Ji special treatment, to which he firmly denied at the time, claiming it was free-range training. In hindsight, it seems peculiar.

Li Ruilin’s eyes flickered, his gaze deepened, seemingly penetrating the screen to weigh on Gu Ji.

"Is he controllable?"

"Controllable."

Lei Wanshan’s tone remained cold and calm.

Hearing this, Li Ruilin’s gaze softened slightly, his lips curled, "That’s good. In our line of work, being too rule-bound isn’t good either, being too rigid. Weren’t you also famously stubborn in our team back then, hahaha..."

"This is Team One, we’ve arrived at the rendezvous point, no abnormalities in the lobby!"

"Team Three received! We’re in the fire escape stairwell."

Through the tactical headset, Bi Xin’s team had already evacuated to outside the lobby, with Team Three split in two; the front end included Gao Bo, Liu Weijun, and Gu Ji, protecting the five hostages within the formation.

Pushed open the safety door.

The previously fleeing staff in the lobby had long disappeared, leaving behind a mess of shattered glass and militant corpses.

After friend-or-foe identification, Dragon Tiger Team One assisted the bandaged hostages and quickly approached.

Bi Xin glanced at the five hostages and then focused on Gu Ji.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Gu Ji suggesting a split-action plan before the operation, they might have wasted an additional 5 minutes. Of course, the main reason was still the severe lack of intelligence, making it impossible to locate the hostages.

Yunnan Province Anti-Drug Headquarters’ undercover agent Chaojun and informant Wa Xueming had long been sidelined by Bai Maoliang.

Unable to detect the movements of the kidnapped tourists.

"Captain Min Suri, we’re evacuating outside the building, what’s the situation out there?"

"More armed personnel are arriving, one of our team is injured but still manageable; we should evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

After confirming the situation outside the building, Bi Xin led the main force through the shattered door, exiting Jinyuan Building. Once the three groups formally converged, "Prepare to withdraw!"

"Bang——!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a distinctive gunshot rang out, followed by a "thud" within the team, as fresh blood sprayed from the forehead of a Myanmar police officer already injured in the leg, causing him to collapse backward into his comrade’s arms.

"Ah! Ah!"

"There’s a sniper! Take cover! Take cover!!"

"Ensure the safety of the hostages! Watch the hostages!"

"Bang——!"

The seven hostages screamed in fear, while Bi Xin and Zhang Wenjun shouted warnings in succession.

Unexpectedly.

Another Myanmar police officer, attempting to take cover, was hit in the calf.

"Shut off the multi-light indicators immediately! The other side has night vision!"

Gu Ji couldn’t believe the enemy sniper could find the concealed SWAT officers and police so swiftly in such low light conditions. The only explanation was the enemy also had night vision capabilities, allowing them to see the IR laser emitted from their weapons’ tactical components and determine their location.

Anyone willing to use night vision.

There is only one possibility.

They are mercenaries!

"Report the injury status!"

"No injuries reported in Team Three!"

"Our side reports one dead, one injured!"

"Prioritize protecting the hostages. Monkey, could anyone on your side hear where the gunshots came from?" Bi Xin, hiding behind the hood of an SUV in front of the building, questioned his team members.

"Heard it, the gunshots seem to be coming from the north side, not far from us!" A scout from Team One, Monkey, confirmed over the headset.

"North side..."

Hiding behind the trunk of a tree in the greenbelt, Gu Ji slightly leaned out, looking towards the north.

In the green-hued view of the night vision, he could only see a main road where three bodies of militants and thugs lay. In the greenbelt’s shrubbery on both sides, shadows occasionally flickered, but most were the Bai family’s supervisors and security thugs.

"Zhou Yang, can you pinpoint the sniper’s location?"

"I can’t see a specific heat source here, need the target to move to make a judgment."

"We’re pinned down, but the enemy doesn’t dare come closer. Dragging this out won’t benefit us. Zhang Zhong, protect the hostages; Gao Bo, Monk, Wu Kang, find a way to suppress the north side with firepower, see if you can lure him out, force the sniper to relocate. Zhao Hua, use the drone for reconnaissance!"

Gu Ji quickly assessed the situation on site using the OODA loop that Qiu Junrong taught him during Jinbang training.

"Where did the Bai family find such help? Damn this bunch of old sneaky bastards!"

Gao Bo cursed loudly, immediately opening fire towards the north.
