Chapter 461 Extra 5: Counter-Terrorism
Gunshots? How could it be gunshots?!
BANG! BANG!!! BANG-BANG-BANG!!! BANG-BANG-BANG!!! BANG-BANG-BANG!!!

First there were single shots, then bursts of gunfire, and the sound of gunfire continued.

A sound like frying beans was heard overhead. The customers outside looked around in confusion before finding someone lying on the ground next to them.

When they realized what was happening, great panic set in.

“Run! Someone’s shooting!”

“Help, I have no feeling in my legs!”

“I can’t stand up. I, I can’t breathe.”

An unknown number of gunmen were shooting indiscriminately from a high place. Some people were shot and fell in a pool of blood, some people were holding their heads and running away. People were crowded at the exit like salmon returning to spawn, crying and wailing to get away.

The carousel in the entertainment area was knocked over, parents were running around aimlessly with their children, cakes in the pastry shop were pushed to the ground, and a few feet stepped on them, turning the ground into red, green and yellow colors.

Someone was running and suddenly his body froze and fell to the ground. Bright red blood was smeared on the ground, as eerie as red graffiti.

The shooting and trampling happened almost at the same time. Many people were not killed by bullets, but were knocked to the ground and then trampled by dozens of feet.

The people in the boutique seemed to be stunned by the scene before them, and for a moment no one chose to do anything.

Tang Qiu, who had never experienced such a thing, had a blank mind, and at this moment someone grabbed her hand.

“Hurry! Get away from the gate! Find something to cover yourself!” He Ran pulled the person next to him and shouted to the people around him.

“What, what?” The luxury goods store clerks obviously have not recovered from the huge shock. Many people, including Reiko Matsumoto, still don’t understand why He Ran did this.

The next second, they all understood.

The surging crowd rushed over. Unable to leave quickly, people subconsciously looked for any space to hide. Thousands of people poured into any open door. The crowded scene reminded people of the wildebeests jumping into the river to escape from wild beasts in Africa.

The Rolex store was not spared either. The high-end luxury counter that once did not welcome the poor was instantly crowded. People were screaming and crowding inside, while more people continued to pour in at the door, desperate to avoid being exposed to the gun.

The entire store instantly turned into a crowded can of sardines.

The scene was extremely chaotic. People released all their strength in panic, and those crowded in the center began to suffocate.

He Ran dragged Vidian and Tang Qiu against the wall and used a table to prop up the small space. The oak table groaned from being squeezed.

In the chaos, Tang Qiu actually turned around and grabbed He Ran’s hand, “He, bring Vidian and me!”

Without time to think, the three people squeezed out of the crowd. Tang Qiu knocked on an inconspicuous wall, and a door opened a gap, revealing a not-too-large space.

The three men slipped in and closed the door.

The noisy sound disappeared and the entire vision became dark.

A beam of light lit up in the darkness, it was the light source from Vidian’s watch.

“Where is this place?” He Ran asked in the dim light.

“The warehouse. Generally, entry-level items with a value below 500 US dollars are stored here. What happened outside just now?” Tang Qiu pressed his chest and tried to regulate his breathing.

“There are gunmen shooting down from a tall building. I don’t know if it’s just ordinary revenge on society or a terrorist attack.” He Chi said, looking at Vidian beside him.

The blonde understood what he meant and raised her forehead slightly as if she was observing the person at the top through the wall.

“Eight people, three on top and five on the bottom. Everyone has a gun.” Vidian said softly, without any fear in her tone.

“They are from an organized group. It doesn’t look like this is a crime of passion. The next step is likely to be kidnapping hostages.” He Ran said in a low voice.

“What should we do?” Tang Qiu asked worriedly. The Chinese girl had never experienced such a situation before.

She felt a little surprised that her two classmates seemed a little too calm in the face of such a scene that ordinary people had never seen in their lives.

“Let’s wait for the police and the army to arrive. With such a big incident, the government should react quickly.” He Ran whispered, but then he added

“That being said, we also have to consider the worst-case scenario. The enemy might kidnap hostages or randomly massacre people to vent their anger.”

He Ran looked at his sister and asked, “Do you have a weapon?”

arms?

Tang Qiu standing by almost thought she had heard it wrong. She came from a country with a total gun ban and the most she had touched so far was a bullet casing.

And the two college students opposite him were discussing whether to use weapons to resist the gunman?
What weapon?
A knife? A stick?
Could it be pepper spray?

Wow! Vidyan flipped her hand, and an ivory-colored Xiuzhen Colt pistol appeared in her palm.

“It’s a specially made small-caliber rifle with only four bullets.” said the blonde girl.

Tang Qiu was shocked. She never expected that her roommate, who looked like a Barbie doll, would carry a gun when she went out.

But it’s not over yet.

“Anything else?” He Ran asked.

Vidyan nodded, took off her two-person star-shaped earrings, and held them in her hands. “Flash bombs, affected by size, have less power, but they are enough in a small area.”

“Any more?”

The blonde girl pinched her handbag and took out a bottle of makeup remover-like thing.

“Tear gas, it should be no problem to fill this room.”

“What about yours?” Vidian looked at her brother.

“I only brought this.” He Ran pinched his belt, and the sound of a spring was heard. A delicate butterfly knife was pulled out, and a white light flashed in the dark space, and the bright blade was thrown out with two knife flowers.

Tang Qiu suddenly felt a little cold.

There was silence for a while. Finally, Tang Qiu opened his mouth to ask something, but the eyes of the brother and sister in front of him suddenly became stern.

“Shh, someone is coming.” Vidian said with her index finger on her lips.

The chaos in the mall has slowly calmed down, and dead bodies can be seen every few steps in the corridor.

The survivors lay on the ground with their hands on their heads as requested by the kidnappers, and some of them couldn’t help sobbing softly.

A man with a veil on his face and holding an automatic rifle scanned the surroundings, and from time to time threatened the hostages around him to behave themselves.

Suddenly, the Rolex logo caught his attention.

The man walked to the counter, smashed the display case with the butt of his gun, pulled out a watch, put it on his wrist and admired it repeatedly.

At this time, he found an Asian woman lying on the ground and shivering, so he bent down and pulled her up by her hair.

“How do you feel?” The man said in broken English. Matsumoto Reiko opened her mouth, but found that she couldn’t make any sound. She could only nod her head in fear.

The man seemed satisfied with the other person’s frightened expression and reached out his hand to continue dragging the woman in front of him.

click!
A slight noise was heard in the corner, and the man instantly became alert. He put Matsumoto Reiko down and kicked her away, then raised his gun and approached the source of the sound.

A faint light flashed in the dark corner, and the man approached cautiously.

An exquisitely designed men’s watch fell to the ground, the case shattered, and a diamond embedded in the center rolled out and lay there quietly.

The man bent down, his eyes focused on the diamond.

A butterfly knife was approaching his neck from behind.

The struggle lasted only a brief moment before the smell of blood spread.

A few minutes later, He Ran dragged a completely unresponsive corpse into the corner. His movements were clean and neat, as if he had just dealt with a slaughtered goat.

“I’m lucky. These guys aren’t so alert, which gives me the opportunity to take action.” He Ran said to Vidian while panting, while Tang Qiu on the side covered his mouth tightly.

“It’s not over yet.” The blonde girl looked around expressionlessly.

“Someone is coming up from below with weapons.”
–
At the same time, Canadian Homeland Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)/North American Defense Joint Headquarters.

The entire intelligence agency is now in chaos, and the phone in Director Reed Morden’s office is being called hotter than the barrel of a heavy machine gun.

“Sir, the Soviet Embassy has just officially notified us, hoping to learn more about the situation in Toronto.”

“Boss, the FBI North American Special Envoy called to ask if the other party needs help.”

“A 6-man MI20 team is coming in by helicopter without any communication. We are still trying to establish contact with them.”

“A submarine of unknown nationality appeared in the Atlantic Ocean. Acoustic wave collection determined that it might be the Red October class purchased by South Africa from the Soviet Union.”

Reports from his subordinates kept pouring into the director’s ears, making his temples throb constantly.

It is undeniable that the Toronto incident did shock the whole country, but it does not seem exaggerated to the extent that the three permanent members of the Security Council, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, paid attention to it at the same time?

Especially the attitude of the UK, MI6 seems to be about to bypass the local security departments and take direct action?

Damn it! Who can tell him what’s going on?!
“Sir! Sir! The situation has been preliminarily clarified!” The assistant ran over breathlessly, waving a report.

“Preliminary investigation results show that the other party is affiliated with the remnants of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and seems to want to expand its influence within the Soviet Union through attacks.”

“Damn it! What does the Russians’ affairs have to do with us? Are their brains stuffed with sandwiches?!” Reed Morden cursed.

“Sir, this is what happened.” The assistant reported in a low voice

“Some time ago, the Soviet-American relations eased, and Britain played a great role in mediating. An important figure of the British royal family was invited to visit the Soviet Union and the United States to carry out a series of foreign affairs activities. Now it seems that someone wants to obstruct this…”

“Wait a minute,” the director raised his hand to interrupt the other party, “a few days ago, we received a prince who went to Queen’s College for a short-term study tour. You are not talking about…”

The assistant nodded slowly, “Unfortunately, His Highness has confirmed that he will be shopping in that mall today.”

The director felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer.

No wonder MI6 rushed over like crazy, and both the United States and the Soviet Union wanted to get involved. If something happened to that highness, the entire European and American geopolitics would be greatly shaken.

You have to know that the nominal head of Canada is still the Queen of England. If something happens to the next heir here, the consequences are unimaginable.

“Give me the cabinet, I want to talk to the Prime Minister, and also send the Joint Task Force 2 (JTF) to solve the Toronto incident at all costs.”

“Sir, the use of the joint task force requires the Prime Minister’s authorization.”

“Damn it! It’s too late once the authorization comes down! Not every incident will be as lucky as the one in Munich!” The director cursed angrily and prepared to leave.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly felt like he had forgotten something.

Oh, by the way, why did the South African government come here?

In the Atlantic Ocean, on the Canadian waters border, bursts of roars were heard from a submarine two hundred meters underwater.

“I don’t care! If anything happens to He Ran, I will drop all the missiles on Mulroney’s head (then Canadian Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader).” Christine paced back and forth in the command room in annoyance, looking like a female leopard that was about to lose control.

“Don’t be nervous. MI6 agents have rushed over with a rapid response squadron of the Royal Air Service, and Vidian’s internal security has reported that the two people were safe at the time of the shooting and nothing will happen.” He Chi tried to comfort his wife.

Christine tapped the floor with her shoes in annoyance. “I shouldn’t have listened to you and Elizabeth’s nonsense and let them have more contact. If anything goes wrong this time, I will give Canada to…”

Boom! !

There was a sound outside the door, and a spider robot rushed into the command room, then jumped onto Christine’s shoulder, waving a single-shot pistol and a micro grenade launcher in its hands, looking like it was ready to fight to the death.

“Come on, this is already a mess, can you please not join in the fun?”

Zizzizi~~~
The sound of the communication on the console interrupted the conversation between the two people. He Chi stepped over, tore off the love paper and read it quickly.

After a minute the Oriental man’s expression relaxed.

“Ok! The incident has been resolved and both people are safe.” He Chi flicked the love paper briskly.

“Really?!” Christine turned her head suddenly and started to change her clothes. “I’m going to Toronto, and I’m going to bring a security team with me this time. Nothing you say will help.”

“Um, dear, although you can go, it’s better to wait.” He Chi said in a low voice, considering his tone.

“Wait? Why?”

“There was a little misunderstanding between our children and the Royal Air Service over there.”

Inside a shopping mall in Toronto.

After a brief exchange of fire, the terrorists on the periphery were directly eliminated, and 20 Royal Air Force special forces broke in from three directions to search for the missing key figures.

“Safety!”

“Safety!”

“Safety!”

The houses were cleared one by one, but the key person had not been seen yet.

When a team of six people was checking the rooms on the fourth floor, the sprinklers above their heads suddenly turned on and a round object was thrown in.

boom! !

After a muffled sound, the explosion of gas and flash bombs filled the small space.
