"Please do not push! Slow down! Exit in an orderly manner!"

"Everyone! Please evacuate to this side!"

To prevent passengers from falling and getting injured, or a stampede from occurring, traffic police and patrol officers rushed forward, waving their arms to direct the crowd for evacuation.

Gu Ji and the other two continued advancing towards the front of the train, choosing to flank from the rear of the crowd to block the enemy’s retreat route.

"Hey! You guys are going in the wrong direction, the retreat route is this way!"

"Leader Xu, watch your right-rear direction, there are unidentified personnel approaching!"

During the process of traffic police and subway administrators evacuating the crowd, some passengers invariably lost their way.

As Gu Ji moved towards the front of the train, he kept an eye on the situation outside the train window, a group of people appeared out of nowhere, blending into the crowd.

"Mrs. Qiou, go take a look."

"Okay."

"Something’s not right, at my ten o’clock direction, there are two suspicious figures wearing sunglasses moving rapidly towards the crowd, near the central support column!"

Shi Zhengmin was directing Chen Zhiyu to investigate, but Gu Ji discovered that suspicious individuals were moving at high speed, following the direction he was running, "Wait... I think I spotted Jian Na, wearing a light purple turtleneck sweater, they’re heading towards Jian Na!!"

Just as the words left his mouth, a cylindrical object was suddenly thrown out of the crowd, smashing towards the ceiling.

"There’s a grenade!"

"Ah!"

"Nigerulou!!"

Someone shouted, and the previously orderly evacuation scene suddenly spiraled out of control. People panicked and fled in all directions, the area filled with the chaotic sounds of hurried footsteps, mixed with women’s screams and the noises of dropped items.

In an instant.

The falling cylindrical object exploded mid-air with a thunderous buzzing noise and a sustained, blinding disorienting light, like several suns being thrown in your face.

"It’s a series of flashbangs!"

"Bang bang!"

"Ratatatat..."

Upon seeing the intense light, Gu Ji instinctively closed his eyes and squatted down, then heard a series of gunshots, and even the "clang clang" sound of stray bullets hitting the subway carriage, while the passenger crowd erupted with shrill screams, the scene becoming even more chaotic.

"Suspects are firing!"

"Protect the civilians! Everyone is authorized to shoot at will!"

SAT Captain Nagatani Shouhei finally authorized the right to shoot through the intercom earphones.

Wu Kang was the quickest to react because his previous position was guarding the train’s rear, so he was least affected by the flashbang’s intense light, "Gu Ji! It seems to be people from Liangben, being forced towards the train by a woman with short brown hair!"

"Woman with short brown hair?"

As soon as Gu Ji heard the physical description, Baron’s intelligence surfaced in his mind.

It’s the DIA’s intelligence special agent!

They are after Jian Na and the special compound from Liangben?

Before he could process, Wu Kang shouted again:

"Liangben’s people have rushed in!"

"Bang bang!"

"Get down! Find cover! Find cover!"

As Gu Ji barely regained his vision, he quickly rolled under the subway seat, and the next second, bullets sprayed over, smashing against the three of them, the railings, and the glass, reminiscent of popping beans.

After dodging the first wave of attacks, he quickly raised his head.

At a vague distance of about forty to fifty meters, a dozen Liangben people were dragging Jian Na and her mother towards the rear of the train, being pursued by two Americans in dark gray coats, one wielding a black mini submachine gun, resembling an Ingram MAC-10 submachine gun, shooting two shots, taking down a Liangben thug.

Gu Ji hurriedly pressed the tactical chest strap buckle, pulling out the MP5A5 from his chest, setting it up front, and engaging in prone shooting to aim at the thug beside Jian Na’s mother, "Tutt tutt!"

A burst of two-point shooting.

Although it was his first time firing, the submachine gun’s recoil was naturally low, and the rubber bullets had less propellant than standard full-loaded ammunition, the accuracy was relatively controlled, with one bullet grazing the thug’s thigh.

Upon hearing gunfire, both DIA special agents immediately dispersed, hiding under the seats.

Liangben’s group promptly returned fire, Tangben Xiuyi calmly broke the window, swiftly jumping into the underground tunnel through it.

"Gao Bo! Wu Kang! Support me! Prioritize attacking the high-risk targets around the HVT!"

"Yes!"

"Tutt tutt! Tutt tuttu..."

Finally granted shooting rights, Gao Bo could finally vent his pent-up frustration, quickly performing rapid consecutive point shooting from the edge of the train door.

Though the rubber bullet’s power wasn’t enough to penetrate the train’s metal casing at medium distance, it could still leave dents. Interestingly, due to the elastic nature of rubber, some bullet tips that hit the ground and train walls could rebound.

One Liangben thug was hit in the back by a rebounding bullet.

Despite the low power, they couldn’t withstand Gu Ji and the others firing simultaneously, forming a deadly funnel area in the long subway stretch, instantly capturing absolute fire dominance within the train car, while the two DIA intelligence special agents were pressured to not even dare to expose their heads.

"Reporting to headquarters! Two people are injured on site, requesting emergency medical support! How’s the situation inside the train, the platform personnel are too chaotic!"

"We are intercepting the HVT."

Through the walkie-talkie came the inquiry from Jingshang Gaoming, Gu Ji casually responded before hitting another thug, and Jian Na’s mother fell sideways, curling up beneath a seat.

"HVT interception successful! Gao Bo! Wu Kang! Advance forward!"

"Understood!"

At the command, Gao Bo and Wu Kang immediately emerged from cover, crossing weapon sights and firing.
