Chapter 36: Night of Slaughter
Chapter 36: Night of Slaughter
Thirty minutes ago, Li Yisen drove an unregistered Toyota to the building where the gym was located. He got out of the car and walked around the building to confirm the location of the back door and then locked it with a chain.
Next, we arrived at the opposite side of the building, a nice residential area where most of the houses had their own swimming pools, clearly only affordable for the middle class and above.
His eyes swept across the dimly lit street, confirming the target vehicle; both the model and the license plate matched.
"I've found you! Just thinking about how you've taken care of me makes my blood boil."
Lee found a house without dogs, and with a running start, easily climbed to the second floor. Then, using the security bars on the second-floor windows, he climbed to the third floor without breaking the windows or triggering the security system.
Standing alone on the highest point of the house, overlooking the entire community, with thunderous dark clouds approaching at the edge of the horizon.
"It's best to finish before it rains."
Li Yisen pulled an M2 heavy machine gun from the system space, placed the tripod on the roof level, and aimed the muzzle at the gym door 100 meters away.
Lee Ethan waited quietly like a hunter in hiding, trying to avoid being discovered, until a shadow flickered inside the door.
"Finally out."
More than ten men in suits came out, and finally a man and a woman.
The next second, Lee Ethan narrowed his eyes because he saw the woman who had taken off her clothes in front of him, Serena, saying goodbye to her target, Clayton, with her arms around him.
"So you were in cahoots with them. That means the Frederick family was indeed involved in human trafficking."
During his investigation, Lee Ethan did see news about the Frederick family's connection with the mafia, but without concrete evidence, he could only remain skeptical.
Now that the facts have been "confirmed," his finger pressed the trigger without any hesitation, and bullets poured out instantly, streaks of light piercing the darkness.
The continuous shell casings hitting the ground and the gunshots woke up a sleeping family, and even the surrounding houses turned on their lights one after another. A few people peeked through the windows and doors and noticed Ethan Lee's dark figure.
"What is that?"
"Heavy machine gun?"
"That's a ghost."
"Where are the police? Where are the security guards?"
Even shooting America every day, it's unheard of to stand on a private rooftop and fire a heavy machine gun.
As for the security guards, the two armed guards huddled in a corner, too afraid to approach. Although their wages were good, there was no need to risk their lives against ruthless characters with heavy machine guns. They should wait for the police.
A 12.7mm bullet tore through the vehicle and pierced through the bodies behind it. In just three breaths, a long bullet mark was etched into the building, dense and gruesome.
Most of the 11 gang members were killed, and the remaining three fled back to the gym, including Serena, who was not in the same car as Clayton.
Lee Ethan didn't care about a few who slipped through the net, as long as he saw Clayton fall to the ground with his own eyes.
But then something unexpected happened: the burly figure suddenly stood up and rushed into the gym.
"He's still not dead?"
Li Yisen was stunned for a moment. He saw a bullet hit his waist. If it were an ordinary person, they would be seriously injured if not killed. How could they be alive and kicking? Did they think it was an act?
Regardless, Li Yisen had no intention of letting his target go; if he couldn't kill him today, it would be even harder to find another opportunity later.
He knew he wasn't a gentleman, so he could only seek revenge that very day.
With a thought, the dragon scale armor was immediately put on, and a hood and hat were put on to prevent any hair from being left on the scene, covering up all the parts of the body that could be covered.
With his face covered, he jumped from the third floor to the second floor and then to the first floor. With his physique and ability to absorb the force, it was no problem at all. On the way, he made eye contact with the youngest daughter of the family through the window and winked at her to leave a deep impression.
The next second, the MPS AA-12 automatic shotgun appeared in his hand. He aimed it directly at the electrical box dozens of meters away and fired. The electric light flashed like fireworks, and then the entire street went dark, with only some backup light bulbs that had been turned on after the power outage providing light.
Los Angeles' power grid system hasn't been replaced in 40 years; it's not only terrible but also prone to fires.
Lee Ethan's 4-star vision is beyond the range of most people. Even without moonlight, he can barely see the dark environment, which is why he was able to blow up the electrical box.
I walked quietly through the pile of corpses, and along the way I saw several torn bodies. They weren't wearing bulletproof vests, and their appearance was horribly gruesome.
Just as Lee Ethan reached the door and accidentally stepped on something, a gunshot immediately rang out from inside.
Lee Ethan quickly dodged to the side and fired in the direction of the gunshot.
"Bang bang bang"
Three single-shot bullets pierced through the front desk where the gunman was hiding, and the large-caliber bullets left a large bloody hole in the body.
Just then, the sound of sirens came from afar; time was running out.
Li Yisen quickly searched the gym rooms, bathrooms, and storage rooms, disabling all the surveillance cameras along the way, and finally arrived at the door of the gym equipment room.
He wasn't worried about the target escaping; all the windows and doors in the gang's hideout had security bars, so there were only front and back doors.
Just as he was about to step into the final gym, a bright light shone out, followed by several handguns firing from different directions.
"Bang bang bang bang"
Even Lee Ethan, who was mentally prepared, was slightly startled. With the bright light shining on the doorway and several gunmen hiding somewhere aiming their guns, he still felt a bit uneasy.
Just then, a man shouted from inside the room.
"The police are coming soon. I advise you to leave quickly. The back door is locked, so you can only escape through the front door."
Lee Ethan sneered. These gangsters are scared, but sending out gunmen doesn't make them look cowardly.
If only we had grenades or smoke grenades right now. He could steal the latter from the police station, but there's no need to cause trouble.
At that moment, a woman's voice came from inside.
"The moment you come in, we'll riddle you with bullets. Give up."
Ignoring the other party's bluff, Li Yisen knocked on the wall to check if it was a load-bearing wall. The sound was crisp, indicating that it was not a load-bearing wall with a lot of steel bars. It was about 20 centimeters thick and could be punched through.
Lee Ethan hid in the corner and took out his M2 heavy machine gun from his spatial storage again, aiming at what he considered a suitable angle and firing.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"
Bricks and concrete walls shattered and dust flew everywhere, bullets pierced through the walls and raged throughout the gym, sometimes the sound of metal clashing against metal could be heard, sometimes the screams of humans.
With 200 rounds of ammunition, two chain boxes were emptied, and the ground was littered with spent bullet casings.
Li Yisen put away the crane gun and picked up the AA12 shotgun again. He first ran past the door and shot out the high-powered flashlight. Only after seeing no return fire did he go inside.
Without turning on the lights, he could only make out the general outlines of several corpses lying on the ground by the dim light coming through the windows, since his eyes weren't completely capable of night vision.
As for why he was sure it was a corpse, it was because Li Yisen would finish off the corpse with a shot, and even if it made a sound, it would only become a corpse.
"ah....."
The woman's screams rang out of the room. Li Yisen looked at the woman sitting on the ground. Her dress was soaked with a clear liquid, proving that she was terrified. Her expression was somewhat broken.
"Don't kill me! I'll give you anything, just don't kill me."
Lee Ethan did deliberately keep Serena around because women are easier to interrogate. To put it bluntly, even pulling out a fingernail might make her unable to bear it and reveal things she shouldn't have said.
"I can be with you..."
Before Li Yisen could finish speaking, a burly giant rushed out from the large area of fitness equipment next to him. It was Clayton, and he was carrying 25 kilograms of barbell plates in his hands. Not just one, but four plates, weighing a total of 100 kilograms.
Lee Ethan instantly realized he was in trouble and immediately raised his shotgun to fire, but it was too late to aim.
When the first bullet was fired, the giant was already close by, and the barbell was blocking the muzzle.
"Bang."
A single bullet shattered all the steel fragments instantly, hitting Clayton in the waist. Although the wound was a large hole, it was not fatal, and the barbell fragments were embedded in his body.
(The bar is made of low-carbon steel, which is not hard enough. If it were made of other high-hardness steel, with a thickness of nearly 20 centimeters, a slug would not be able to penetrate it at all.)
But Li Yisen wasn't having an easy time either. He was hit like a wild boar and flew 3 meters away, crashing onto the exercise equipment with a scream. His shotgun also fell to the ground.
Li Yisen grimaced in pain, unable to believe it. His average physique was close to 20, and lifting 200 kilograms was no problem for him. Yet now he had been knocked down by someone.
"roar"
Despite the excruciating pain, Clayton roared and charged forward again.
"Bastard, face me."
Ignoring the possibility of being exposed, Li Yisen directly took out an MP5 submachine gun from his spatial storage.
The only weapons he has left in the space are an M2 heavy machine gun, a suicide drone, and this MP5 submachine gun. His pistol is in the police station's evidence room.
"Times have changed."
Clayton had no idea what the enemy was saying. In the pitch black, it was enough that he could lock onto the enemy; he had no idea that the other party had suddenly acquired a submachine gun.
"Bang bang bang bang bang"
The bullet pierced through flesh and blood, turning this man, as strong as a black bear, into a pincushion.
