Hong Kong variety show: From being bitten by a cockroach to becoming a legend

Chapter 164 Policeman Father, Bandit Son

"Boom!"

Before Liang Mais's exclamation could even fully subside, it was completely swallowed up by a deafening and terrifying roar!

300 grams of C4 plastic explosives, detonated in a confined space, released energy comparable to a large-caliber artillery shell! The orange-red fireball, mixed with a violent shockwave, instantly tore through the rusted pipes and iron ladders, engulfing the initial burst of fire.

Huo Bao's upper body, clad in tactical gear, instantly vaporized at the epicenter of the explosion, like a watermelon struck by an invisible giant hammer.

Tear, shatter! Only two legs clad in tactical boots and the remaining part below the waist were thrown backward by the enormous impact, slamming hard against the pipe wall below with a tooth-grinding thud, before sliding softly down and bursting into charred flames.

The shockwave from the explosion was like a real tsunami, surging through the narrow pipe! Standing not far below the blast, Ah Tian only had time to cross his arms to protect himself before he was violently thrown back, crashing into the pipe wall behind him before bouncing back to the ground. His internal organs seemed to have shifted, his helmet made a loud bang, his vision went black, blood instantly gushed from his mouth and nose, and his weapon flew out of his hand.

Because they were slightly further away and reacted extremely quickly, Ah Zu and Liang Maisi lunged backward, but they still couldn't completely avoid the attack. Liang Maisi was struck in the shoulder by a flying piece of rock; the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible, and he screamed as he rolled on the ground. Ah Zu, on the other hand, was lifted up by the violent blast and slammed heavily onto the slippery ground, sliding several meters. The lens of his gas mask shattered, and his face was cut by several pieces of rock, leaving only a sharp ringing in his ears.

The only female team member, Zhou Su, was the lightest and stood further back, so she was less affected by the explosion. However, the explosion collapsed an area above the pipe, and several broken and rusted steel bars fell like javelins of death in the smoke and dust!

"Pfft, pfft~"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was exceptionally clear amidst the aftershocks of the explosion. A steel bar pierced through Zhou Su's thigh, pinning her to the ground! Another, thicker one pierced diagonally below her left shoulder blade, its blood-stained tip protruding from her chest.

"Ugh!" Zhou Su let out a shrill scream that was inhuman as blood gushed out from both her front and back wounds like a fountain, staining the sewage and gravel beneath her.

Smoke and dust filled the air, rubble fell in a flurry, and flames danced on the wreckage. In just a few seconds, the five-man elite squad was reduced to ashes: Huo Bao was completely destroyed, Zhou Su was pinned to the ground and barely alive, A Tian was seriously injured and unconscious, Liang Maisi had a shattered shoulder and was no longer able to fight, and only A Zu was relatively less injured, but he was also dizzy and had tinnitus, struggling to get up.

Above, thick smoke and dust filled the gaping hole in the flood discharge outlet that had been blasted open.

Two figures, like demons emerging from hell, covered their mouths and noses without hesitation and leaped down.

It was Luo Tianhong and Chen Luojun!

The two landed steadily, their eyes instantly locking onto a target that was still able to move.

Chen Luojun licked his lips, his bloodthirsty gaze fixed on A-Tian, ​​who had just struggled to sit up and was still shaking his head trying to regain his senses. He could sense that this guy had a military bearing about him; he should be able to withstand his punches for a while longer.

As for Luo Tianhong, his gaze was fixed on Azu.

Azu threw off his shattered gas mask, revealing a blood-stained, grotesque, and twisted face.

Upon seeing Azu striding towards him, Luo Tianhong had no time to lament the failed operation. He abruptly drew his Glock pistol from his waist, attempting to retaliate.

Just as Azu raised his spear, Luo Tianhong tapped his foot, and a flash of sword light appeared!

"Ding!"

With a sharp crack, Ah Zu felt a sharp pain in his wrist. His Glock pistol had been precisely knocked away by the opponent's sword, spinning and falling into the ditch beside him.

"Damn!" Azu was both shocked and furious. He thought he had received the most rigorous military training and was proficient in both hand-to-hand combat and firearms, but the skill of this cold weapon swordsman in front of him was simply unbelievable.

Without a second thought, he drew his tactical dagger with his other hand, roared, and lunged forward. His standard military killing technique was ruthless and fierce, aimed directly at Luo Tianhong's throat and heart.

Luo Tianhong's eyes were indifferent, and the Han sword in his hand transformed into a dense curtain of light.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The four sounds almost merged into one soft sound.

Azu's lunge suddenly froze, as if he had been frozen in time. The angry expression on his face solidified, slowly turning into incredulous astonishment, followed by excruciating pain and fear that penetrated to the bone.

"Clang!" The dagger slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Ah Zu's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, then slumped down like a lump of mud. He looked down in horror and saw a thin, precise cut in the tendons of his hands and feet.

In just one exchange, the tendons in his hands and feet were severed.

On the other side, Chen Luojun was already engaged in battle with A Tian.

Although Ah Tian was injured by the explosion, with blood flowing from his mouth and nose, the brutal training of the Navy SEALs had preserved his extremely strong combat instincts and ferocity. He abandoned his firearms, which had been blown to pieces by the shockwave, and fought Chen Luojun with his bare hands.

Fists and feet clashed, the dull thuds echoing through the pipes. Ah Tian's moves were simple and ruthless, targeting vital points—clearly techniques for killing.

But Chen Luojun is an even more ruthless man who has crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood! His fighting style is completely unpredictable, yet incredibly brutal, trading injury for injury, fighting life for life! After taking a heavy punch from A Tian, ​​blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, he grinned maliciously and retaliated by punching A Tian in his injured ribs!

"Crack!" A faint sound of bone breaking.

Ah Tian groaned and froze.

Chen Luojun seized the opportunity, charging in like a bull and slamming A-Tian against the pipe wall, then tightening his arms around A-Tian's neck like iron hoops!

"Ugh—Gulp—" Ah Tian's eyes bulged out, his face quickly turned red and then purple, and he futilely struck Chen Luojun's back with his elbow, but the force was getting weaker and weaker.

"Your punches are powerful, but they're still far from enough!" Chen Luojun grinned maliciously, his arm muscles bulging as he suddenly exerted force!

"Snap!"

The crisp sound of the neck bone breaking was particularly jarring in the now-silent pipes.

Ah Tian's body stiffened abruptly, then slumped down, completely silent.

Chen Luojun released his grip, letting the corpse slide down, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and spat: "What kind of bullshit elite is this? Nothing special."

Luo Tianhong walked to Zhou Su, who was pinned to the ground by steel bars and barely breathing. She glanced at her, confirming she had lost too much blood and was beyond saving, then ignored her. She then looked at Liang Maisi, who was clutching his shoulders and groaning in pain, and thrust her longsword forward, the tip piercing directly into Liang Maisi's heart!

Wu Zhaoyong and several of his brothers rappelled down from above. When they saw the horrific scene below, even those who were used to bloodshed couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"The boss ordered that the living be taken away, and the dead be left here to feed the cockroaches."

After speaking, he gestured to his men to use the prepared cable ties and tape to tightly bind Ah Zu, who was limp and delirious due to blood loss and severe pain, gag him, and put a black hood over his head.

Soon, Azu was hoisted up like cargo, followed closely by Luo Tianhong and Chen Luojun.

Let's rewind a few minutes.

The enormous explosion and tremors, like a thunderclap in the dead of night, instantly shattered the tranquility of Tsz Wan Shan.

Two blocks away in the West Kowloon temporary command vehicle, Richard, who was already on high alert, suddenly jumped up from his chair, his face changed drastically, and the coffee cup in his hand crashed to the ground, the scalding liquid splashing onto his trouser leg without him even noticing.

"What's that sound?!" He rushed to the car window and looked towards the direction of the Zhengxing headquarters. There, a loud noise was coming from, and Richard, who had undergone military training, could easily tell that it was the sound of C4 being detonated.

"It's an explosion! They're exchanging fire with the robbers!"

Chen Jiaqi immediately checked the surveillance footage, but all the public cameras near the main building were functioning normally: "Sir, the surveillance cameras near the main building are working properly. I suspect the explosion occurred inside the main building!"

"Action! Immediate action!" Richard roared into the communicator, his voice distorted by anxiety and inexplicable fear. "All units, advance immediately towards the Cheng Hing headquarters in Tsz Wan Shan! Flying Tigers, lead the charge! PTU, follow! I authorize the use of necessary force if you encounter robbers."

The sirens blared vehemently in an instant, and dozens of police cars and special vehicles roared to life, rushing like a torrent of steel towards the street where the Tsz Wan Shan Ching Hing General Church was located.

However, when the lead vehicle reached the entrance street of the building where the main hall was located, it had to brake suddenly and stop.

The scene before them stunned all the cops.

The only entrance street of the six-story industrial building where the Zhengxing headquarters was located (the ground floor was the headquarters, and the upper floors were other properties and some residences of the Zhengxing Society) was packed with people!

At least a thousand gangsters blocked the only entrance.

"Sir, Zhengxing and his gang won't let us pass!"

Richard, his face grim, pushed aside his subordinate who came to report, walked to the human wall, and said sternly, "I am Superintendent Richard, Commander of the West Kowloon Regional Headquarters! We have received a report of a serious explosion and a shootout that may involve serious crimes! The police have the right to enter the scene to investigate. Make way immediately!"

The arrogant officer, perched atop the car hood, megaphone in hand, shouted at the police officers in front of him: "Superintendent Richard? What a show of authority! You think you can just order an explosion? You think you can just order a shootout? We didn't hear anything! We only heard what sounded like firecrackers going off somewhere, probably some kids playing around. As for letting you in? No way! Our boss said this is private property, sacred and inviolable. Without legal documents, even the Governor of Hong Kong has to follow the rules. Sir, you're police officers, you should be leading by example and obey the law, shouldn't you?"

The thousands of Zhengxing Society members behind him stepped forward in unison. Although they were not carrying any weapons, the silent oppressive aura made the police officers in the front row involuntarily take a half step back, their hands on their holsters, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"This is obstructing official business! Obstructing police officers from performing their duties!" Richard was trembling with anger. He knew Song Zhaowen would act like a rogue, but he didn't expect him to be so direct and arrogant! Deploying thousands of people to block the door was a blatant provocation against his authority!
