Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 239 - 129: Heading to Manhattan

Such a large number of police cars and ambulances surrounded the area that the security personnel dared not slack off. They quickly opened the automatic retractable gate, allowing two assault vehicles to swiftly charge toward the research center's vicinity, the site of the explosion incident.

Clatter.

The car door opened, and Jillian and Jamie, wearing bulletproof vests, got out with 12 fully armed HRT special police officers.

The Volut employees watching around were all stunned.

Jillian immediately pressed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "NYPD, seal off the park immediately. No one is allowed to leave the scene until their identity is verified!"

"Little Bird, keep an eye on the surveillance. Team two, take the northern position, Axe, take point, advance in a triangular formation!"

"Received! Team two is assembling north!"

"Axe is in position!"

"Action!"

As she issued the order, the HRT special police captain with brown pupils next to her was inspecting the explosion site. After a brief consideration, he quickly issued preliminary tactical commands.

A reconnaissance drone ascended into mid-air, hovering above the collapsed part of the roof. Six special police officers encircled from the side of the building to intercept, while a well-built special police officer holding a medium-sized bulletproof shield charged into the building. The remaining four team members, along with Jillian and Jamie, advanced rapidly in double triangular formation with guns drawn.

Just after passing through the entrance gate.

Axe's gaze was instantly drawn to the twisted bodies lying in the "T"-shaped corridor and the bullet holes covering the walls.

"A large number of bodies found, severe signs of gunfire exchange at the scene!"

"Stay alert!"

After the special police captain shouted, the team immediately formed a column formation, hiding behind Axe's assault shield, with gun muzzles crisscrossing high and low, pointing to the two blind spots at the "T" intersection.

"Right side clear!"

"Injured target discovered on the left!"

Just as the point man was progressing, Axe suddenly noticed a researcher at the left corridor who was injured by fragments from the explosion, collapsed beside the wall.

Jillian immediately called for emergency medical support outside the building.

After confirming the first floor was secure, the HRT continued to advance upwards, while Jamie stayed in the corridor, bowing down to examine the security personnel who had been counter-killed by Gu Ji.

"It's strange, these four only had red marks and one gunshot wound, all at the neck. Did the suspect have such good marksmanship to maintain one-shot kills in a chaotic situation?"

"Based on the red marks on the bodies and the small holes on surrounding walls, it seems to have triggered a Claymore Mine-like area personnel lethal weapon."

Jillian also found their deaths somewhat odd.

She walked over to the wall and discovered a metallic silver glint on the surface of the wall, like tiny spiked needles embedded in it.

"Be careful, this thing could be poisonous. Let the surveyors handle it!"

Jamie stood up and reminded.

Jillian nodded and reported the scene to Mr. Hiri from the FBI New York Division.

Conventional Claymore Mines and fragmentation grenades use steel balls internally because spherical objects impart more energy to targets at short distances, and sharp objects are primarily for precise penetration.

According to the power of this bomb and the peculiar way the bodies were killed, it's likely just as Jamie said, the spikes were poisoned, causing them to lose combat effectiveness, before being picked off one by one by "Baron."

"All scanned; no suspect target found in the building. Four trapped injured discovered on floors two and three."

"This is the NYPD, we found scattered AR-15 rifles and magazines in the greenery bush!"

The tactical headset and walkie-talkie simultaneous transmitted the reports from the special police captain and the Queens North precinct chief York.

Indeed.

York personally came from the command center to the scene this time to personally capture this criminal and wash away the shame of their precinct being easily eluded twice by Gu Ji.

Jillian and Jamie immediately headed to the lawn.

Several examiners were crouched on the ground looking for fingerprints on the gun body and footprints in the mud to take back for comparison.

Just as she was about to check for surveillance cameras around.

The tech special officer suddenly shouted in the earphone:

"Target suspect location exposed, right inside the adjacent building!"

"Seal the building immediately! Everyone burst in at once, remember: capturing the target alive is the premise, do not shoot to kill unless absolutely necessary!"

"Agent Jillian, the suspect just engaged in a shootout, killing many security personnel, and is carrying firearms and explosives on them. As per police threat assessment, they are an extremely dangerous individual. Considering officer safety, isn't your order somewhat unreasonable..."

Jillian had just commanded as York, beside her, caught up and questioned.

Jamie was the one to explain this time.

"The suspect was coerced by a bomber into committing the act, a key figure in the case. Other than the Volut security personnel, he hasn't shown intent to assault others or the police, so we should strive for cooperation instead of killing."

"How do you know he has no assault intent?"

"His series of actions prove it. Before the 7 Line subway bombing, the 311 Queens District center operator received a related alert call, and through recording comparison, the informant was 'Baron.'"

"Moreover, he actively analyzed the terrorist's identity on the live broadcast multiple times, providing help for the case investigation, including these firearms dropped on the ground, all indicating Baron has no subjective criminal intent, but has been seeking opportunities to cooperate with us."

After Jillian finished speaking, she happened to reach the lobby on the first floor of the building.

Just as she pulled out the phone to the live broadcast room, listening while confirming the detailed position of the target with the tech special officer.

Bang! Bang!

Buzz——!

After a few gunshots, the fire alarm in the entire building suddenly went off. Frightened Volut staff cowered and scrambled everywhere.
