Chapter 479 – Sit-in Protest
Usually, in the case of large-scale battlefields where mercenaries are dispatched, there is not much chance of being surrounded like this.
Dangerous operations may be carried out by a few people, but such work is done by mercenaries in the shadows, so most of them operate in large-scale operations.
However, now there are not as many reinforcements to look after as there were back then, and the siege must be broken through with only 5 people.
‘This could kill me…’
In such a hopeless situation, Ross looked around him and decided that he could die today.
While he was a mercenary, he thought he would die on the battlefield, but he never thought he would die in the middle of the American capital.
He loaded the gun on his shoulder and asked Lee Jong-wook.
“Where are you going to drill?”
“Just wait.”
Lee Jong-wook tried his best to figure out what would be the best course of action in the current situation.
The fact that he was slightly distracted by the effects of the explosion became meaningless as his life was at stake.
More than ever, we need to calmly analyze the opponent’s power and open a way out.
“Going that way.”
The direction he pointed was an alley that looked quite narrow on an open road in all directions.
Probably, in that place, even if the opponents came, they wouldn’t come in large numbers at once, so it was enough to deal with them.
However, what was thought to be the safest route could be a trap.
That’s why Lee Jong-wook looked at his wife, Park Ha-eun. With her senses, she will be able to tell whether it is a trap or not.
“I think it’s okay.”
Park Ha-eun, who looked at the place her husband pointed for a moment, agreed, feeling her ominous feelings lessen a little when she looked at it.
“Everyone prepares a smoke screen and when the signal is given, we depart.”
While working as a mercenary, a smoke bomb is a necessity to always carry.
It was a more valuable item than a grenade because it could cover one’s body and block the opponent’s view.
“Sprinkle in all directions.”
Fortunately, there are a total of 5 people here. One person fainted, but since we were told to carry smoke bombs during this operation, it was enough to cover all directions.
After spraying smoke bombs all over the place at the same time, they take out a smoke bomb from the unconscious Chris’ gear and finally spray it in the alley they are going to go to.
Since the direction was already determined, there was no problem moving even if the location was obscured by a smoke screen.
-Push profit
When smoke began to spread along with the sound of gas escaping and visibility was blocked to some extent, he gave a signal to everyone.
“Go!”
Lee Jong-wook opens the way first, followed by Park Ha-eun, who has excellent fighting skills, and assists.
Afterward, Ross, who was the strongest, carried Chris, who was unconscious, on her shoulder, and Rachel, who was good at improvising, followed in the last room.
“Wow, it’s so heavy.”
Ross, carrying the limp Chris on his shoulder, relaxed by joking that it was heavy.
-Tutututututu
As soon as the smoke screen was laid, the enemies started firing wildly, but fortunately, no one was hit because they moved under cover.
“Arrived.”
Lee Jong-wook, who arrived safely amid the smoke, stood at the fork in the alley and looked at Park Ha-eun.
“Over there.”
Then she told me to choose a safe place and move based on my own feelings.
“Go in here.”
Following Park Ha-eun’s directions, they were able to arrive at an old, three-story abandoned building.
“Whoa…”
After entering the abandoned building, they sighed and relaxed for a moment.
“What should I do next?”
“It’s best to counterattack here.”
“Isn’t this the same as being surrounded?”
“Even if we are surrounded, there is concrete everywhere, so we can take enough time until help comes.”
Their goal is not to kill the enemies, but to buy as much time as possible until help arrives.
If I moved any further than this, the enemies would catch up with me because Chris was stunned, so the best way was to take my time in a place where I could counterattack.
“Is everyone fully prepared?”
“There is no problem with the gun.”
“Me too.”
“I’m fine…”
Since I always carry equipment with me whenever I move, I don’t lack anything.
Traveling around together in a vehicle was truly the best choice.
If everyone had spread out and searched separately, it would have been difficult to endure due to lack of equipment.
‘That’s amazing.’
Ross was impressed by John who thought of the worst and prepared for the worst in this situation.
I didn’t expect to be attacked, but since the other party was targeting the granddaughter of the Keitel military company, they must have thought this far.
His planning, always being prepared for unexpected variables, was enough to admire.
Around the time Ross was thinking that.
‘What kind of people are they?’
Lee Jong-wook was wondering what kind of people were the ones who attacked them.
Did they attack them targeting Swan, or did they attack his wife and himself?
Because of the situation where my son was almost kidnapped last time, I decided that there were two enemies, but I don’t know which ones.
‘It could be both.’
I don’t know exactly, but Lee Jong-wook, who always assumes the worst, thought that this attack might be both.
It could be that they planned it all on purpose to create conditions that would allow them to be eliminated while targeting Swan.
When you take a moment to catch your breath and prepare for the upcoming enemies.
-Jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jumble
“It’s coming.”
Park Ha-eun, who heard numerous footsteps in the distance, announced that enemies were coming.
“What is the number?”
“At least 10 people when I heard footsteps.”
“It must be difficult.”
Saying there were at least 10 people was the same as saying there could be more than 20 people.
In this case, you have to deal with at least 10 people, including some who have fainted.
The opponent was a group with high firepower to the point of using RPGs, and even though it was a concrete building, they were too far behind in terms of firepower.
“The good thing is that the entrance is narrow.”
“But you can’t just look at that side.”
Because it is an abandoned building, the entrance is narrow, making it ideal for stopping enemies coming in quickly.
However, as Park Ha-eun said, there was an entrance on the other side, so there was no peace of mind.
“Let’s put Chris in a safe place first.”
“I’ll come back.”
Even if you are a skilled mercenary, it is difficult to defend a fainted Chris against more than 10 opponents.
Therefore, I decided to put him in a safe place and fight comfortably.
While Ross left Chris in a safe place, Ha-eun Park approached Jong-wook Lee.
“Do you have any useful plans?”
“No, not right now. Just blocking the entrance and buying time.”
“If the RPG blows up over there, we’ll be at a disadvantage.”
“That is correct. “I don’t know how many there are, but I’m sure there’s at least one more.”
“But is there still no way?”
“Because I don’t know the geography of this place, there are few plans I can make.”
“Ha… I guess we should block the entrance first.”
When you’re having a conversation like that and thinking about whether there’s a plan worth using.
“Enemy approaching!”
Rachel, who was watching the entrance, reported the news of the enemy’s approach.
I hurriedly went to the entrance, and at first glance, there were more than 10 people pointing guns in front of the entrance.
“I guess I should catch about 20 people.”
There are that many people just at the front entrance. The other person probably wasn’t an idiot, so they must have diverted their personnel to a different entrance.
Just as I was coming to terms with the fact that there were more people to deal with than I thought.
-Quaaaaang!!!
A large explosion occurred in front of the entrance, and all the surrounding windows were shattered.
“Oh my…”
I was planning to block it by targeting a narrow entrance, but the opponent forced me to widen the entrance.
When I heard the sound, it seemed like the entrance had been forcibly widened using an RPG.
We can’t despair of the opponent’s firepower like this, Lee Jong-wook said, looking at a total of three entrances.
“I take the left side.”
“I am the center.”
“I’ll do the right one.”
Fortunately, there were no more explosions and all we had to do was block three places.
As soon as Ross returns, enemies may come in through the back door, so just send a guard there.
When you’re waiting like that.
– Jump and jump.
After hearing the sound of someone slowly walking towards the entrance, they immediately aimed their guns and started shooting.
-Bang! Ta-ta-tang!
The sound of a gunshot begins to echo loudly in a sealed abandoned building.
When the enemies realized that they were sniping at this place, they stopped entering and immediately started throwing things.
“Damn…”
What the enemies threw was the smoke bomb they used to escape from the overturned vehicle.
-Pushy
Soon after, Lee Jong-wook noticed a thick layer of smoke near the entrance and quickly decided that this place should be abandoned.
You can’t even hear footsteps because of the smoke. Since the view is blocked, there is no point in blocking it here.
If you make a mistake, you could miss them and get shot.
“After a little while, we immediately retreat.”
Deciding that he couldn’t stay here for long, he decided to move to a new location after holding a brief check.
-Pushy
– Jump and jump.
The sound of footsteps being heard along with the sound of smoke bombs escaping.
It’s hard to tell, but you can tell by using rockets to step on glass or stones when they widen the entrance.
“Shoot!”
-Tututututututu!!
As soon as the sound of entering is heard, each person immediately fires toward the designated entrance.
“Kwaaak!”
“Aaaaa!!”
As soon as he heard the sound, he opened fire, and Lee Jong-wook, who heard the enemy being shot, took out a grenade from his special vest.
“Bow.”
He told me to duck in case I got hit by some shrapnel and threw the grenade into the smoke.
-Kwaang!!
“Khaha!”
“Kwaaaaa!!”
The painful screams of the enemies can be heard along with the sound of a grenade exploding.
“Retreat.”
Lee Jong-wook, who decided that he had wasted some time, told Park Ha-eun and Rachel to leave.
I could spend more time here, but if there was someone who escaped first, I could now snipe from here.
-Puck!
And that judgment was greeted like a ghost. A bullet that gets stuck right next to you as soon as you leave its original location.
He escaped safely and found an enemy sniping from the left flower bed, so he immediately fled.
Their goal is to wait until help arrives. There was no need to accept the fight at a disadvantage.
“Why is everyone coming here?”
As he was moving against the wall, Ross, who left Chris in a safe place and hurried down after hearing the explosion, asked.
“The enemy expanded the entrance with bombs and used a smoke screen.”
“I’ve prepared more than I thought.”
When told that he had no choice but to engage in guerrilla warfare because he could not block the entrance, Ross nodded and swallowed a lot of his saliva.
“Any plans?”
“First, take your time by using the second floor as much as possible. There may be people coming in through the back door, so don’t move that way.”
“I understand.”
It is highly likely that the enemies moved through the back door while you were wasting time in the front.
Lee Jong-wook made a plan so that they would be safe rather than being ambushed by staying in place.
-Tabaktabaktabak
As I slowly move along the wall, I hear a sound coming up the stairs from below.
I thought the number of people was pretty well organized, but there were still a lot of footsteps, so they listened and moved.
Just when you’re looking for a safe place where you can’t be surrounded and approaching there.
“Damage!!”
-Quaaaaa!!
The enemies who had already come up from the back door blew up their position with an RPG from behind.
“Wow!”
“Ugh!”
As Park Ha-eun said, they rolled to the side and fortunately avoided a direct hit, but the aftereffects of the explosion hit them.
