330: Chapter 330 Attack

This heavy truck plowed toward the convoy as if they were nothing, directly sending several motorcycle police officers who couldn't react in time flying. One officer vanished beneath the wheels, and the truck showed no sign of stopping, slamming into two police cars and pushing them straight toward the vehicle carrying Zhou Yanlei.

Blinding sparks flew from the ground as they were scraped along; it all happened in the blink of an eye.

"Watch out!!"

Upon hearing the shout, Chen Zhiming reacted instantly. His first concern wasn't his own safety but Zhou Yan beside him. This expert was far too important; even if he or the entire Security Bureau staff perished, not a single hair on Zhou Yan's head could be harmed.

Chen Zhiming instinctively lunged toward Zhou Yan, attempting to shield him with his own body.

Boom—!

Just as Chen Zhiming's body pressed against Zhou Yanlei, the two mangled police cars, propelled by the truck, slammed violently into the rear side of their vehicle.

Chen Zhiming felt a massive force strike his back, and in an instant, the world began to spin...

The heavy truck rampaged through the convoy like a completely maddened beast of steel. Most of the convoy was smashed to pieces, a horrific sight. Only a few cars at the rear managed to react, frantically turning their steering wheels to dodge.

The truck only came to a halt after crashing into the roadside green belt, destroying most of it. The immense momentum caused the front of the truck to bury itself deep within the bushes. Broken branches and dirt flew everywhere, and several pedestrians who couldn't dodge in time were sent flying, their bodies mangled and bloody.

The once orderly street had turned into a living hell in a short time, filled with endless screams and wails.

Security Bureau personnel and police officers who were still able to move regained their senses and quickly threw themselves into rescue operations and securing the perimeter.

Several people didn't even stop to check their own injuries or help nearby comrades; they rushed toward the overturned sedan ahead. They didn't dare imagine what would happen if the protected target inside came to any harm.

Just then, the rear doors of the stopped truck clicked open. Before anyone could react, over twenty dark figures leaped out like stalking leopards. Their movements were swift and unified, clearly the result of professional training.

"Capture as many as possible alive!"

Following the leader's command, gunfire erupted across the scene. A fierce battle broke out in the middle of the busy city.

By the time the backup arrived, the well-trained, unidentified armed force had already retreated. The scene was in total disarray, and everyone fell silent upon seeing the carnage.

The air was thick with the suffocating scent of blood, gunpowder, and charred remains. Casualties lay scattered across the street—police officers in uniform, Security Bureau agents in black, and innocent pedestrians. The blood flowing from their wounds was starkly visible on the asphalt.

Fury, terror, uncertainty...

More and more people arrived. Despite the bright sunshine, an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere permeated the scene.

Normally, a violent incident of this magnitude would have already drawn media coverage and caused an uproar on the internet.

Curiously, not a single media outlet had arrived, and the internet remained perfectly calm.

The Mayor of J City's legs went weak when he arrived. Even with his rank, he could only watch from the outer perimeter, unable to take a single step closer. Though he didn't know the full details, the scale of the response indicated that the situation was dire in the extreme.

J City had never seen an armed attack of this scale. This was no ordinary terrorist incident, but a well-premeditated ambush. The forces behind it were likely beyond the control of the local government.

At this moment, in the center of the crowd, at the very heart of the cordon, stood several men.

Their identities needed no explanation. The crisp Zhongshan suits without a single wrinkle and the military uniforms—though devoid of shoulder straps or collar insignia—exuded a heavy, authoritative presence of those long accustomed to high office and immense power.

Yet, even though they were figures at the pinnacle of national power, capable of making anyone hold their breath, their expressions were currently as dark as water.

An official beside them reported quickly, his voice heavy: "Our Security Bureau special agents have confirmed twenty-seven deaths and two serious injuries. The police have confirmed twenty deaths and three serious injuries. There are ten civilian casualties. The deceased include Team Leader Chen Zhiming; he was shot through the forehead..."

"No bodies were found for the Third-Party Technology expert team. Based on the blood at the scene, someone from the expert team was injured, but their condition is unknown. This unidentified group took them all."

Among them, an elderly man in a military uniform spoke in a low voice, "Still no trace of them? Ensure the safety of the expert team at all costs."

"All highway exits, high-speed rail stations, and airports in J City have been sealed. Land, sea, and air are all under surveillance, but no trace of them has been found yet."

"Assign more personnel!"

"Understood!"

But an hour passed, and the reports coming back were all disheartening. The enemy seemed to have vanished into thin air within J City, leaving no trail.

The only lead also went cold after a single gunshot.

Upon hearing the news that a ministerial-level official had committed suicide at home, the leaders' expressions turned even grimmer. Just who was the opposition?

——

What these men didn't know was that in the space above their heads, a diamond-shaped satellite with a twelve-sided smooth structure had descended to low orbit. Operating tirelessly, it captured even the expressions on their faces with perfect clarity.

Likewise, it tracked the group fleeing in the shadows.

One hour ago,

When Lin Fang received this news, he was just about to depart for the Godzilla Dimension to serve as a company commander. Upon realizing what had happened, Lin Fang's usually amiable expression vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold silence as deep as a dark pool.

Suppressing the rising fury in his heart, Lin Fang asked, "What's the status of our people?"

[Five are seriously injured, but there are no fatalities. The H.D.S. Forces have already set out and are expected to arrive in half an hour.]

"They had better start praying now... No, it's too late for prayers..." Lin Fang's voice was calm, but even Xiao Hei knew he was in a towering rage.

Lin Fang began to reflect on his past actions, wondering if he had been too indecisive. Now, even a tiny island nation, insignificant in his eyes, could provoke his emotions.

Lin Fang already knew who was behind it. The moment those people exposed themselves, Xiao Hei had already calculated their pasts and predicted their futures. No matter how they cut themselves off from the network, there was no possibility of hiding.
