Human Light Umbrella

At least for now, it was only a large-scale fire or riot, but there was still too little information, so the blond police officer did not let down his vigilance.

The police officer driving the pickup truck and Joel in the co-pilot also looked solemn, especially Joel who had been a police officer for more than ten years.

Because in a small town of more than 8000 people, the chance of such chaos happening is really too low.

Christmas is the day when everyone relaxes their vigilance the most. Coupled with the blizzard that can delay various flights, as well as power loss and network interruption, Ojai cannot obtain large-scale support from the outside world in a short period of time.

It shows that this is an organized and premeditated emergency.

Joel didn't believe that the group of people who only knew "free every day" could catch up with so many coincidences.

"Crack-, crack-."

Sudden!The police officers sitting in the car vaguely heard the intensive gunshots coming from the center of the town.

Immediately, the police officer driving the pickup picked up speed.

And Joel operated the radio installed on the pickup truck, adjusted to the channel of the local police, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:

"I'm Sergeant Joel Miller of the Oxnard Police Department. Our colleagues from the Ventura Police Department have arrived in Ojai. Who is in charge here? Is there any area that lacks police force?"

"Hey... I'm Sergeant Marvins Nestor of the Ojai Police Department! Thank you for your support!!" Another middle-aged sergeant replied excitedly through the intercom.

"Clap-! Clap-!"

While Sergeant Marvins was replying, Joel and other police officers could still clearly hear more intense firefights coming from the other side.

Paused.

Marvins continued: "Please rush to the shopping mall in the center of the town as soon as possible! We need... quickly! Drag Tom back quickly! Damn it!

A bunch of crazy guys have kidnapped the townspeople and taken over the mall, saying don't get in the way of their ritual!Those guys also have fully automatic firepower!Made!We need support! "

"Understood! We'll be right there!"

End the communication with the other party.

The atmosphere inside the pickup, and even the entire mixed team, was extremely dignified.

It is now certain that what they are about to face is not the crowd of "Freedom Everyday", but alternative thugs with prohibited arms.

As a result, the speed of the mixed fleet has increased a lot.

"Wow!" The snow shovel on the front of the pickup pushed the snow to clear the way, leading the convoy to the mall.

Shortly after.

A medium-sized shopping mall built on the east side of Highway 33 appeared in the field of vision of Joel and the police officers.

At the same time, not far from the south side of the shopping mall, there was a police car that was riddled with holes. There were a lot of bright red blood on the snow around the police car.

The bloodstains continued outward until they reached the "position" about [-] meters away from the main entrance on the south side.

The so-called position is actually a fan-shaped row of seven police cars. The police officers rely on the front of the car with an engine as a cover to confront the militants hiding inside the mall.

It is said to be a confrontation, but it is actually more like that once you try to go forward, you will be suppressed by the firepower of the militants, so you have to be in this position.

Among them, there was a police officer leaning against the police car, holding his abdomen tightly with his hands, but blood was still gushing out from between his fingers.

Bright red soaked the snow.

Seeing this situation, the mixed convoy drove out of Highway 33 and came to the crude position built by the local police.

In an instant, the size of the position more than doubled.

The police officers who came to support from the two cities quickly got out of the car and opened the trunks one after another, revealing the "carry" firepower weapons.

Joel, the blond police officer and other police officers from the Oxnard Police Department took out an assault rifle that looked like an a5b from the trunk, and put on their exclusive "sports sunglasses".

As a seaport city with a population of nearly 20, Oxnard and its city government are definitely rich.

Therefore, the Oxnard Police Department is fully capable of introducing a batch of police-style a5d rifles, as well as holographic glasses that can provide functions such as auxiliary vision, calibrated shooting, and information sharing.

With the support of their colleagues in the two cities, the local police officers who had been sluggish immediately regained their spirits.

Joel and the corporal from Venlato made contact with Sergeant Marvins, who was in charge of the local police.

The blond-haired policeman and the policeman driving the pickup were squatting halfway beside the policeman who suffered an abdominal injury and became unconscious.

"This injury...man! Hold on! Don't sleep! Don't sleep!"

The police officer driving the pickup spoke loudly, for fear that the other party would not be able to hold on and pass out.

"..." But the blond police officer didn't say anything, and took out a small white spray can from the tactical bag hanging on his right waist.

Immediately afterwards, the blond police officer tore off the wounded man's clothes and pressed the button on the wound on his abdomen.

"呲~" The white foamy tissue quickly covered the wound.

When the blond policeman took back the spray can, the foam had solidified and completed the hemostatic effect.

"Hey?! New here, where did you get the biological foam? This is something only special forces have!" The policeman driving the pickup asked in confusion.

The blond policeman ignored the questioning, but got up and showed his ID to Marvins, Joel and another corporal, and said in a deep voice:

"Department of Homeland Security, Covert Agent, Domestic Crisis Response, Leon S. Kennedy, I need the cooperation of everyone here."

Chapter 166 Spider Head

Department of Homeland Security?

As a boss, Joel instinctively wanted to question him. After all, this Leon, who had just joined the police force for less than a month, was not like a hidden agent of the Department of Homeland Security.

The wearable holographic glasses, however, automatically scanned the certificate displayed by Lyon and gave the result that the certificate was "authentic".

Seeing this, Joel had to admit the fact that Leon was a hidden agent.

And from more than ten years of police experience, Joel understands that the case that Lyon secretly investigates is definitely related to the alternative thugs hiding in the mall.

So he was the first to speak in support: "Detective Kennedy, what kind of assistance do you need from our police?"

"Thank you, Sergeant." Leon was not surprised, but still thanked him.

And Sergeant Marvins and the corporal of Venlato City, even without the assistance of holographic glasses, can see that Leon's certificate is not forged, let alone with the support of Joel as the boss.

"Sheriff." Then Leon looked at Marvins and asked:

"I need to know the process of the group of thugs occupying the mall, and what kind of ceremony you mentioned, what is the specific situation."

"Okay." Marvins recalled, and said to everyone present:

"About nine o'clock, our town suddenly lost power and internet, and even the mobile phone signal became extremely poor, and it didn't take long for us to find someone maliciously setting fire.

And those thugs took advantage of the chaos and forcibly took a large number of hostages to occupy the shopping mall. When we found out and arrived here, it should be ten o'clock, just before you arrived.

We had a brief firefight with the mob, but they had fully automatic rifles and even a light machine gun, so we had to fall back.

As for the ceremony...the thugs said they would not harm the hostages as long as they did not interfere with their ceremony. "

"No request?" Joel asked.

"No mention." Marvins shook his head.

"This is too abnormal." Joel frowned and said, "Kidnapping hostages without offering an exchange condition, is it really just to complete some kind of ceremony? These people are really crazy! Unreasonable crazy!"

However, Lyon understood that the gang of thugs were going crazy, but it was not unreasonable, but they really wanted to complete the "great cause".

Like more than three months ago, Leon received an order from his superiors to go to Spain to investigate a cult that called itself los ilados.

The leader of the Illuminati, Osmud Sadler, discovered an ancient parasite (spgas).

After experiments, it was found that if humans are infected with the "Queen" level king worm, they can gain stronger power and control other infected humans.

However, before the leader Sadler took more actions to display his inner ambitions and ambitions, the headquarters of the Illuminati Cult, which is a small village in Spain, ushered in the investigation of Lyon...

In the end, Guangming Cult was completely eradicated.

The parasites judged by the Red Queen as Nyx-level (second-level) were controlled by Umbrella's technicians so that they could no longer threaten human society.

Therefore, as Umbrella's intelligence agent, whenever Leon heard that a certain church would celebrate a festival or hold a ceremony, he would instinctively associate it with abnormal phenomena.

Leon, who finished solving the Illuminati, returned to the United States and enjoyed a rare vacation. He accidentally learned that there was a new sect in Oxnard, which believed in the "spider asterd".

Followers of this sect believe that the Almighty Spider-Master is real.

It is also believed that the spiders living in the house are instructed by the leader of the almighty spider to assist humans and secretly eliminate cockroaches and other harmful insects to humans.

There doesn't seem to be anything special about the sect other than asking its members to be kind to the spiders they live with.

Ke Leon always felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, one month ago, Lyon came to the Oxnard Police Station to conduct a secret investigation as a graduated police officer and a hidden agent of the Department of Homeland Security.

During this period, Leon discovered that Joel Miller, a corporal, was experienced and decisive, and he was definitely a good candidate for an intelligence officer!

Although Lyon in his 20s praised a Joel in his 40s as inappropriate, but as a senior intelligence officer, Lyon is indeed qualified to say so.

Just as Lyon ruled out the suspicion that the Almighty Spider Head Sect was linked to anomalous phenomena, he did not expect that there would be a change in the small town of Ojai.

After listening to the information provided by Marvins, combined with the key word "ritual", Leon was sure that the thugs hiding in the shopping mall were members of the Almighty Spider Head Cult.

And with the experience of dealing with the Gorefiend, it is not difficult to guess that the believers are going to sacrifice hostages to summon the so-called spider leader.

immediately.

Leon took out the agent's exclusive mobile phone and immediately called the armed security and TF support.

Soon, the support application was approved.

Leon glanced at the content of the message uploaded on the phone screen, then put away the phone, held the a5d hanging on his chest, and said in a low voice to Carl, Marvins, and the corporal from Venlato:

"Everyone, it still takes 15 minutes for the fastest support to arrive here, but according to my experience, we should break into the mall as soon as possible to obtain more information, and if the situation permits, we must also prevent the mob from completing the so-called ceremony."

"This...?" Marvins and the corporal hesitated slightly.

After all, according to the thinking of normal people, they only think that the thugs are a group of lunatics. In order to avoid too many casualties for the hostages and their own side, waiting for the arrival of support is the best choice.

"Sheriff, Corporal." Joel said directly: "The east of the shopping mall is a green park, and there is a bush that can provide some cover.

Our Oxnard police station has the best equipment, so we use the undergrowth to get close to the shopping mall, and we are responsible for storming the mob. How about leaving the frontal feint to you? "

Joel is also a normal person, but the weird behavior shown by the thugs, coupled with the existence of Leon who has the identity of "hidden agent", then he can no longer act according to ordinary people's thinking.

"Okay (no problem)." Seeing Joel's statement, the other two police officers no longer had any objections.

"Then follow the sergeant's plan." Leon also agreed.

Next.

All Oxnard police officers including Joel, plus one Lyon, a total of 16 people took a vehicle to the park on the east side of the mall.

The police officers in the small town of Ojai and the city of Venlato also started the vehicle and moved forward slowly, using the vehicle as a cover to approach the main entrance on the south side of the mall.

As they approached, they opened fire on the second and third floors and the roof of the mall.

The believers hiding in the shopping mall saw the police approaching the shopping mall in two groups, so they had no choice but to spread their hands to stop them.

"Clap! Clap!"

All of a sudden, guns of various calibers opened fire.

The police officers responsible for the frontal feint attracted most of the firepower of the believers, creating an excellent opportunity for Lyon.

And Lyon, Joel and others did not live up to expectations, and successfully approached and entered the first floor of the shopping mall.

Chapter 167 "Meeting Hell"

The first floor of the mall.

The lack of electricity makes it extremely dark here, but this is not a problem for Joel and the police officers who have holographic glasses.

Although the visual aid system of police holographic glasses is not as good as military ones, it can at least allow the police officers to see the situation clearly.

As for the Lyon model, it has motion capture and other functions. It is an internal use model that Umbrella does not sell, so the field of vision is clearer.

Because of this, Lyon could clearly see a large number of unknown symbols painted in dark red marks on the glass windows of the stores inside the mall.

Rust stinks, and the paint representing these graffiti symbols is blood...human blood.

Joel and the rest of the officers couldn't see, but they could smell.
