Nominal: Hou Liangping blocking the door? He was slapped away!

The heavy words fell like the tolling of a bell signaling the end of some kind of ceremony.

The roar from the sky reached its peak at that moment.

Boom!

That wasn't the sound of an engine.

It was a devastating steel chorus composed of more than a dozen high-powered turboshaft engines!

The entire branch office building trembled violently at the roar.

Dust fell from the ceiling like a dirty snowfall.

Li Dakang's arm, which was raised high in preparation to give the order for a strong attack, froze completely in mid-air.

The color drained from Qi Tongwei's face in an instant.

He looked up in horror.

He saw it through the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

They all saw it.

A dozen or so bright searchlight beams, like the sword of judgment cast by the gods, pierced through the deepest darkness before dawn.

The beam of light precisely enveloped the entire Guangming District Police Station compound.

The more than 300 special police officers in the courtyard, who had just completed their battle deployment and were confident of victory, were blinded by the sudden burst of bright light.

They instinctively raised their arms, trying to shield their eyes from the light, which was even more dazzling than the sun.

"What the hell is that?!"

A SWAT officer's exclamation was quickly drowned out by an even more terrifying sound.

A dozen or so armed helicopters painted in dark green camouflage, like metal locusts crawling out of hell, appeared from behind the clouds in neat attack formation.

They descended to a height that almost grazed the rooftops of the surrounding residential buildings, hovering above the branch office.

The enormous propellers whipped up violent air currents, like a Category 12 hurricane, which swept across the entire courtyard.

The police car parked in the yard began to shake violently in the strong wind, groaning under the strain.

The riot shields that had just been used as cover by the SWAT team were easily rolled up by this force, tumbling in the air like pieces of paper, and then crashing down in the distance with a "bang".

The originally well-organized attack formation crumbled instantly in the face of this unreasonable physical force.

"Stay calm! Everyone stay calm!"

Despite the fierce wind, Municipal Bureau Chief Zhao Donglai roared hoarsely in an attempt to maintain order.

But his voice, amidst the thunderous roar of the engine, was as insignificant as the buzzing of a mosquito.

No one could hear it.

All the special police officers were unsteady on their feet in the strong wind, swaying from side to side. Forget about raising their guns to aim, even standing still had become a luxury for them.

Inside the hall, Qi Tongwei swayed slightly.

He wasn't blown away by the wind.

He was so frightened by the scene before him, which was beyond his comprehension, that his legs went weak.

He spent half his life on the battlefield and had seen all sorts of things.

But damn it, can anyone tell him why there's a formation of armed helicopters appearing over Jingzhou city?

What are they trying to do?

Should we start an urban war?

Li Dakang stood frozen in place, his mouth agape, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He felt that his worldview, along with the political common sense he had built up over decades, was shattered at that moment by the roaring propeller.

He was even thinking of demolishing the building?

They could easily flatten his municipal party committee building right from the sky!

Just as everyone was stunned, the armed helicopters in the sky began their second round of attacks.

There were no warnings.

puff!puff!puff!

Countless black metal canisters, like hailstones, were ejected from the launchers on the belly of the aircraft.

They traced precise parabolas, passing over the heads of the special police officers and landing in the center and behind their formation.

"laugh--"

The canister hit the ground, and thick white smoke, accompanied by a pungent odor, instantly billowed out.

It's a high concentration of tear gas and smoke bombs!

In just a few seconds.

The entire branch office compound was shrouded in thick smoke, so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

"Cough cough cough!"

"Ah! My eyes!"

"I can't see anything! Help!"

Heart-wrenching coughs, painful screams, and cries of terror rose and fell amidst the thick smoke.

More than 300 highly trained elite special police officers completely collapsed under the combined onslaught of bright lights, noise, strong winds, thick smoke, and tear gas.

Their fighting spirit, along with their formation, crumbled.

They dropped their weapons, covered their eyes and throats, and scurried around the yard like headless flies, bumping into each other and trampling each other.

The scene was a complete mess, like a pot of boiling porridge.

Looking out the window at this hellish scene, Qi Tongwei felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an icy hand.

He turned abruptly, wanting to rush out the door and personally command his troops.

But he had only opened the door a crack.

A thick cloud of smoke, mixed with the smell of gunpowder and chemicals, rushed towards us.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

He choked and staggered backward, tears and snot streaming down his face.

He slammed the door shut again, which had just been opened.

in the hall.

Shen Zhong remained standing still, without moving an inch.

His face remained expressionless as he coldly watched the chaos outside, which he himself had orchestrated.

That look was like looking at a group of good-for-nothing children playing a clumsy game of make-believe.

Just then, a loudspeaker slowly descended from beneath the belly of a Z-10 helicopter hovering in mid-air.

A cold, emotionless voice, processed electronically, echoed throughout the entire block like a divine pronouncement.

"Warning! Warning!"

"All armed personnel, drop your weapons immediately! Hands over your heads! Crouch down on the spot!"

"I'll repeat it again: Put down your weapons immediately!"

"Any act of resistance will be considered a blatant provocation against the nation's armed forces! We will take all necessary measures to eliminate it!"

The word "cleanse," carrying an undeniable sense of ruthlessness, pierced through the thick smoke and roar, striking hard into everyone's hearts.

The flickering flame of hope that had just been ignited by the overwhelming reality as he lay sprawled on the ground was completely extinguished.

Looking out the window at the apocalyptic scene, his eyes rolled back, and a sudden heat rose in his crotch. He was so frightened that he fainted.

Li Dakang's body was pressed against the cold wall to prevent him from sliding to the ground.

His face was ashen white.

He stared blankly at the white haze outside the window, at the steel silhouettes that appeared and disappeared in the haze, like demons.

Shen Zhong had walked up to him without him even realizing it.

He picked up a glass of untouched mineral water from the table, unscrewed the cap, and handed it over.

Li Dakang did not answer.

His hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even hold the cup steady.

Shen Zhong didn't care.

He withdrew his hand and took a sip himself.

Then, looking out the window at the one-sided military attack, he spoke in a flat tone, almost as if stating a fact.

"Li Dakang, did you see that?"

"This truly represents the strongest fighting force in our country."
