Then Lu Yuan turned on his flashlight and shone it inside. There was no one there. Everyone at the bar was facing away from Lu Yuan. Several team members carefully flanked from the side, but they didn't find anyone.
The other team members also turned on their flashlights. They could immediately see an elevator at the southernmost end of the hall, and next to the elevator was an emergency exit. Lu Yuan guessed that the elevator was definitely not working, and the emergency exit was their only way out.
"There's no one on the first floor. Hurry up and go up to the second floor, one step at a time, be very careful!" Lu Yuan shone his flashlight around the first floor and, finding nothing else, immediately told his team members.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's order, the team members immediately grabbed their guns and advanced into the distance.
Just as the group reached the second stairwell, gunfire suddenly erupted from inside. Bullets pounded towards the stairwell, and the team members behind them immediately shouted, "Retreat! Retreat!" However, several team members still fell down the stairs, rolling on the ground with their chests covered in blood and gore.
"Retreat! Retreat first, don't charge so recklessly!" Lu Yuan led his team members to the edge of the area, then took out his walkie-talkie and shouted, "Ou Chen, immediately cover the second floor! We've been blocked on the second floor, we can't get up there!"
"I knew you needed me! But you should still talk to your teammate, otherwise he might not hand over the gun to me!"
Lu Yuan quickly shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Hou Qiang, quickly hand the gun to Ou Chen and let him cover us!"
Soon, a loud gunshot rang out from the rooftop of a small building in the distance. This gunshot was quite different from the other sounds.
Immediately after the gunshot, a body rolled down from the second floor.
Lu Yuan grabbed the body and examined it before realizing that it was one of the bandits from above.
After a few more gunshots, the sound of gunfire ceased at the stairwell. Ou Chen and Lai Yangyang's voices came through the walkie-talkie again: "All done, you can charge now, I'll cover you!"
After exchanging a glance with the man in black, Lu Yuan immediately nodded and led his men straight up to the second floor.
A group of people rushed up to the second floor, but all the lights on the second floor had already been destroyed. The group gathered together to keep watch. There was no sound in the dark stairwell, which meant that the people had already retreated upstairs.
To prevent the other side from overhearing the conversation on the walkie-talkie, Lu Yuan put the earphone in his ear: "We can't see what's going on on the second floor. Do you have any information?"
"I've basically eliminated everyone on the second floor. Two people jumped off the building and have been taken into custody by your men. The firepower on the third and fourth floors should be quite strong now. I can't see very clearly from here, but there are at least twenty people. You must be very careful!" Ou Chen kindly reminded him.
Lu Yuan looked up and gritted his teeth.
"Keep providing cover. If this mission is successful, I'll spare your life!"
"Heh! Fine, you said it! As long as I complete the task for you, you'll spare my life!"
"Of course, a gentleman's word is his bond! You have to keep your promise! Can you help me see if there's any way to break through? We need to rush in right now. If we wait until they really destroy all the evidence, we'll have really wasted our time!" Lu Yuan asked urgently.
"Wait a minute, my view isn't very good here, I'd like to request a different spot!"
"Hou Qiang, cooperate fully with Ou Chen!"
"Yes, Captain!"
...
A few minutes later, Lu Yuan finally climbed to the rooftop through the narrow ventilation duct. However, once he reached the rooftop, a feeling of wanting to curse arose from the bottom of his heart.
"Damn it! Are you kidding me?! This rooftop is covered in volcanic ash! How am I supposed to ambush them?!" Lu Yuan spat out a mouthful of ash-covered saliva and growled into the walkie-talkie.
"Um... I don't know either, sorry. Um, can I come down? Just throw it and leave! As long as you blow open the window for me, that's fine! I really can't handle bulletproof glass! After all, the only thing I have are ordinary rifle bullets!"
"Wait a minute! Let me see!" Lu Yuan said irritably, then quietly walked over to the side.
A thick layer of volcanic ash had accumulated on the roof, making a crackling sound when stepped on. However, Lu Yuan knew that only he could hear this sound; no one else could hear it, let alone the people inside the building.
Finally, Lu Yuan walked along the wall to the top of the window. Because the roof structure of the house was sloping, Lu Yuan had to make sure he wouldn't fall off, and he also needed to be at a 30-degree angle to see below.
However, lacking a good foothold, Lu Yuan could only try his best to bury his feet in the volcanic ash.
Reaching out, Lu Yuan pulled out a grenade and pressed the earpiece, whispering, "Everyone get ready. Three seconds after the grenade goes off and Ou Chen fires his gun, the men below immediately rush up. Understand?"
"clear!"
"receive!"
"...!"
Hearing his teammates shout, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, hoping he wouldn't fall and that he could successfully stick the grenade to the window and detonate it.
Tilt one degree... tilt one degree more...
