From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

bang

Since the third floor is close to the top of the mall, people who were shopping, shopping and enjoying a happy vacation could clearly hear and feel the sound and vibration of the explosion.

Boom. Boom.!

Chris and others detonated multiple plastic bombs in succession, causing violent noises from the explosions to be continuously heard by everyone.

! !

Only at this moment did people fully realize that the shopping mall was suffering from a "terrorist attack"!

"Run! Run!"

Ada screamed in panic, her face and expression did not look like she was acting at all, and she dragged Leon and ran in the direction of Halsey.

"My God!"

"Are the rebels so bold? Are they starting to invade the city?"

"I don't know! Anyway, I don't want to die in the hands of the UNSC and the rebels."

The tourists instantly panicked, but the local residents were relatively calm, as if they were used to "terrorist attacks".

But this does not affect everyone's escape behavior.

Local residents next to the escalator rushed directly to the first floor, and then prepared to go to the public shelter underground.

The passengers, however, seemed very anxious and didn't know how to go. So they followed Ada, who was the first to shout, and ran towards the escalator on the opposite side.

? ?

Halsey, who was the first to bear the brunt, was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, she was caught in the middle of the surging crowd and moved in the opposite direction involuntarily.

By this time, "passers-by" with serious faces and agile steps and agility began to appear in the crowd, trying to get close to the seemingly helpless Halsey.

If someone is really blocking the way, these "passers-by" will use brute force to push them away, and even worse, they will use elbows and kicks to forcefully clear the obstruction.

These "passers-by" are elite agents affiliated with ONI who are responsible for secretly monitoring and protecting Halsey.

ONI agents will not take the initiative to reveal their identity unless it is absolutely necessary, and now, it is the time of "last resort".

"."

On the other hand, Ada, who had come behind Halsey, motioned to Leon next to her with her eyes.

Leon also understood, nodded calmly, and gradually distanced himself from Ada and Halsey.

at this time--

Om-!

Accompanied by a ringing in the ears, the lights that illuminated the interior of the mall suddenly went out.

Bang!Bang!

Then, the light bulb exploded and broken glass fell from above.

"what!!"

"do not want!"

This time, people who were already scared were even more panicked.

!! ?

The faces of the ONI agents became more solemn.

Because the attack just now was obviously some type of sound wave or pulse attack, which directly cut off the power and communication in the vicinity.

At the same time, ONI agents immediately realized that the real target behind the series of incidents was Halsey!

However, just when they were about to take out their firearms and prepare to completely disperse the people who were delaying their business, Leon quickly rushed towards the nearest ONI agent.

"Click!" The crisp and heart-wrenching sound of fractures came out.

"Ah!!" Then came the painful howl of the ONI agent.

I saw Leon using the blind spot of his perspective to twist off the left forearm of the ONI agent with a stabbing step, and then pinched the hand knife with good control, instantly causing him to lose his ability to fight and move.

thump!

The first ONI agent fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.

!!!

"There is an enemy situation!"

"where?"

"Here I am!!"

Next, the five-member ONI special agent team was so stunned that they couldn't even see Leon's appearance clearly, and were easily dismantled by Leon alone.

In addition, Leon also used elbows, kicks and other methods intentionally or unintentionally. While ensuring efficiency, he violently broke the ONI agent's arms and calves.

Although both sides were elite combatants of the nature of agents and spies, and ONI still had the numerical advantage, Lyon's physical fitness and combat experience were several times higher than those of the ONI agents on the scene.

Unless the difference in numbers is too large, Atlas Investigators have an absolute winning rate in one-on-three or one-on-five situations.

After taking advantage of the chaos to resolve all hidden dangers, Leon merged into the crowd and chased Ada and Halsey, who had already walked away.

-

Outside the mall at this moment;

The sun was still shining brightly, but the streets were empty.

As soon as the patrol police noticed the explosion, they began to evacuate passers-by and set up isolation belts to blockade the area to prevent residents or tourists who did not know the situation from entering the scene by mistake.

Soon, three black-painted anti-riot vehicles arrived in front of the main entrance of the mall.

The compartment door opens.

A group of heavily armed special police officers poured out of the carriage, walking heavily and keeping their distance, preparing to enter the mall in small groups.

Bang-!

However, the unique large-caliber gunfire of the anti-machine sniper rifle completely disrupted the action plan of the special police officers.

"Sniper! Dodge! Dodge!"

After the captain issued the order, a group of special police officers retreated to the left side of the explosion-proof vehicle, and then quickly entered the alley opposite the shopping mall to avoid being blasted to pieces by anti-machine sniper rifles.

Bang——! Bang——!

During this period, the snipers lurking in the unknown area had no intention of stopping and directly "forced scrapping" the three anti-riot vehicles and the surrounding police vehicles.

?

Such an action immediately aroused the suspicion of the SWAT captain.

Is it the sniper's poor accuracy?

Or did the sniper have no intention of hurting or killing anyone from beginning to end?

This doesn't look like the rebels' style.

But the captain did not dare to risk his own life and that of his men to test the sniper's true thoughts.

Moreover, because their group of special police officers rushed to the scene after receiving the situation, the communication equipment was still intact.

After observing for a moment, the SWAT captain reported via the helmet comms: "Headquarters, we are being suppressed by snipers from unknown forces. We are requesting air support from the UNSC."

"This is the main station, roger, coming soon. Captain Hendry, this is Lucas R. Junior of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Please ignore the opponent's snipers, lead your men directly into the mall, and help us rescue a female civilian named Catherine Halsey. This is an image of her face. "

Hearing that their contact with the police station was cut off and intervened by ONI, and seeing Halsey's ID photo displayed on the helmet screen, the SWAT captain suddenly became furious and replied:

"Why does ONI order our Alexandria Police Station? Also! The opponent's snipers are using anti-machine weapons. Come here and try it yourself!"

"Please carry out the order and don't ask me to repeat it to you, captain. Think about your family and next month's salary."

However, the person in charge of ONI had a tough attitude and even threatened his family and work.

"Understood." The SWAT captain replied through gritted teeth, and then said to all the SWAT police on the team communication:
