Special District 9

So, he could only continue grabbing the grenade in his hand and dash right into the most concentrated cluster of policemen as if a madman.

This sudden rush caught those policemen off guard. No one knew whether Shrimp was holding onto the pin or was pushing the lever down with his hands. So, they could only back away in a fluster.

鈥淪catter!鈥?br>
鈥淗e has a grenade in his hand!鈥?br>
鈥溾€?鈥?br>
The policemen quickly scattered and opened up a path. Meanwhile, Shrimp roared furiously, 鈥淐harge a way out!鈥?br>
Bang! Bang!

Suu Ang raised his gun and shot four bullets at Shrimp. However, the latter was running too quickly, and he was wearing a bulletproof vest too. The bullets that struck his chest only left a stream of white smoke on him.

鈥淗e鈥檚 armored!鈥?Suu Ang shouted as he saw Shrimp still running even after being shot four times.

鈥淏ro, hurry up and run!鈥?Shrimp shouted as he raised his right hand, and a ticking sound immediately sounded from it.

鈥淗e鈥檚 pulled it! He鈥檚 pulled the grenade!鈥?Suu Ang bellowed as he turned around and fled.

By this moment, Ah Long and the others had also pulled out their guns too. They dashed out of the hole in the encirclement created by the panic surrounding Shrimp as they shot the policemen around them.

On the other hand, seeing how Shrimp鈥檚 actions had caused an opening in their encirclement, Qin Yu unhesitatingly dashed toward Shrimp with his thick bomb suit, tackling the latter by his waist.

Gudong!

The two of them fell to the ground, and Qin Yu instinctively held Shrimp鈥檚 head down with his massive hands.

Boom!

A deafening explosion broke the silence of the night. A blasted arm flew into the sky, and the glass exterior of the bomb suit was immediately dyed crimson with blood.

鈥淪quad leader, squad leader!鈥?Zhu Wei cried out in shock.

鈥淒on鈥檛 panic, follow the plan!鈥?Qin Yu shook his head as he messily wiped away the bloodied mess on his face protector. He glanced down to look at Shrimp, only to see that the latter had half of his right arm blasted away. White bones with bits of meat eerily attached to it could be seen as crimson blood flowed down his body.

鈥淔ucker!鈥?br>
Seeing that Shrimp was down, Ah Long immediately began shooting at Qin Yu furiously.

Pu ling!

Qin Yu rose to his feet before he began dashing toward where Ah Long was.

Bang bang bang!

A stream of bullets landed on Qin Yu鈥檚 head, his legs, and other vitals, causing sparks to appear. However, none of them was able to get through the bomb suit at all.

Seeing that it was impossible for him to breach Qin Yu鈥檚 defense with his firepower, Ah Long retreated in a fluster as he hurriedly switched magazines.

Peng!

Qin Yu leaped forward once more, and using the advantage he had from his heavy weight, he crashed right into Ah Long鈥檚 chin.

Hua peng!

Ah Long was forced to retreat two steps.

Then, Qin Yu abruptly lowered his stance and grabbed Ah Long鈥檚 legs tightly. With a powerful upward movement, Ah Long was sent flying through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

鈥淒on鈥檛 move!鈥?br>
Qin Yu鈥檚 movements were extremely simple, and his charges were no more than 50 meters long, but he was wearing extremely heavy weights to brawl with others. This was extremely demanding on his burst power. As such, he was already on the brink of running out of strength. He felt like someone had injected his legs with lead. He could only continue pressing down on Ah Long with the weight of his body as he howled in exhaustion.

With the threat of the grenade resolved, the other policemen also didn鈥檛 have any hesitations anymore. The forty or so policemen, equipped with riot shields, swiftly curbed the remaining members of the gang. In less than ten seconds, the battle was concluded.

鈥淗old him down! Hold him down!鈥?Zhu Wei pointed to Ah Long on the ground and shouted.

Eight policemen came up, and without bothering to even use handcuffs, they placed Ah Long in a 35 kilogram heavy shackles.

Qin Yu lay in the snow quietly for around a minute to rest before he finally took off the heavy metal helmet on his head. He turned to the side and vomited bloody sputum before cursing, 鈥淕oddamnit. I鈥檓 lucky I had the bomb suit on, or else even the toughest bulletproof vest wouldn鈥檛 save me just now.鈥?br>
鈥淎re you fine?鈥?Suu Ang rushed over and asked.

鈥淚鈥檓 fine. My tackle was still in position, so the grenade exploded a little ahead of me,鈥?Qin Yu replied as he wiped off the sweat on his face. He intentionally turned to Suu Ang and the others and said, 鈥淗ell, Platoon Commander Yuan should have seen how I have put life on the line in order to produce results for him. If he still doesn鈥檛 get me promoted after this, I don鈥檛 think that there鈥檚 no one in the platoon who鈥檒l be able to accept that.鈥?br>
鈥淵es, of course!鈥?Suu Ang nodded in agreement. He put a thumbs up as he said, 鈥淚f not for your earlier double tackle, who knows how the operation would have gone?鈥?br>
鈥淲e鈥檒l have a drink later on and calm our nerves!鈥?Qin Yu said as he clumsily pushed himself off the ground. 鈥淟et鈥檚 bring him back to the bureau.鈥?br>
鈥?br>
Eleven-thirty at night.

Standing by the side of the corridor, Qin Yu was talking on the phone, 鈥淶hu Wei, get the doctor to do whatever that is necessary to cure that grenade fellow. Yes, the more people there is, the easier it is to extract leads鈥?Un, I was just about to eat. The interrogation will be starting soon. Yes, that鈥檚 all then.鈥?br>
A series of footsteps sounded by the corridor and Qi Lin walked over with a metal lunchbox in hand. He asked with a smile, 鈥淎iyo, you鈥檙e back?鈥?br>
Qin Yu turned around and asked, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e here to eat?鈥?br>
鈥淯n. There isn鈥檛 anything to do, so I came here to get some food,鈥?Qi Lin replied casually. 鈥淗ow is it on your side? Was the operation successful?鈥?br>
鈥淵eah, we got them all.鈥?br>
鈥淎re our brothers fine?鈥?br>
鈥淲e caught them by surprise. Before they could even react, we have already taken them down. So, none of our brothers were injured in the operation.鈥?br>
鈥淭hat鈥檚 a relief,鈥?Qi Lin replied with a grin. He continued asking, 鈥淓h, I thought that you were going to cooperate with the military on this operation? Why didn鈥檛 I see anyone from the military around here?鈥?br>
Qin Yu was slightly taken aback. 鈥淲ho did you hear that from?鈥?br>
鈥淚s that not it? I heard that from some idle chatter back in the dormitory,鈥?Qi Lin replied.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 bullshit. Why would we cooperate with the military for our operations?鈥?As the operation was already over, there was no need for Qin Yu to hide the details anymore. So, he replied frankly, 鈥淥ur target this time around are the medicine smugglers, you know, the person who killed four of our brothers the last time around, Ah Long.鈥?br>
Dang lang!

A metallic sound echoed as the metal lunchbox in Qi Lin鈥檚 hands fell to the ground. His body stiffened on the spot as his face swiftly turned pale.

鈥淲hat鈥檚 wrong?鈥?Qin Yu asked with a frown.

However, Qi Lin was already in a completely dazed state. All he could hear was a ringing in his ear.

Qin Yu patted Qi Lin鈥檚 shoulder and asked, 鈥淗ey, what鈥檚 wrong?鈥?br>
Qi Lin quickly came back to his senses as he looked at Qin Yu with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, 鈥淚-It鈥檚 that鈥?Ah Long?鈥?br>
鈥淵eah. Platoon Commander Yuan got a lead on him, so we went to capture him,鈥?Qin Yu nodded in response. 鈥淎re you fine? You don鈥檛 look too well.鈥?br>
鈥淵-yes, I鈥檓 fine. I just suddenly thought of Jabi鈥?Didn鈥檛 Jabi die in his hands?鈥?Qi Lin asked with a slightly forced smile. 鈥淚鈥檓 still a bit shaken by the incident that day.鈥?br>
鈥淎re you sure you鈥檙e fine?鈥?br>
鈥淵eah, I鈥檓 fine,鈥?Qi Lin replied as he bent down to pick up his lunchbox. 鈥淵ou should go ahead and have your dinner.鈥?br>
鈥淵ou aren鈥檛 eating? Let鈥檚 go together.鈥?br>
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 bring my chili paste. I鈥檓 going back to get it,鈥?Qi Lin replied with a smile.

鈥淎h. I鈥檒l be going ahead then.鈥?br>
鈥淯n!鈥?Qi Lin nodded before leaving with his lunchbox.

In the corridor, Qin Yu looked at Qi Lin鈥檚 departing back with a bizarre look on his face. He didn鈥檛 believe what Qi Lin had said earlier at all, but at the same time, he didn鈥檛 understand why the other party was acting so unnaturally either.

鈥淪quad leader, you鈥檙e eating?鈥?Guan Qi suddenly called out by the entrance of the canteen.

鈥淐oming!鈥?Tossing his doubts to the back of his mind, Qin Yu walked over to the canteen.

鈥?br>
Two minutes later, in the storage room of the Logistics Department.

After shutting the door, Qi Lin slumped onto the ground as he tousled his hair in exasperation, roaring, 鈥淒amn it! Isn鈥檛 it an operation with the military? Hasn鈥檛 it already been half a month? Why is he still here? 鈥?Why did it all end up like that鈥?鈥?br>
Hand grenades have both a lever and a pin. The pin is stuck into the hand grenade in a manner that keeps the lever down, so if you take out the pin, the lever would shoot up, and the hand grenade will begin its countdown to detonation. However, it鈥檚 possible to hold down the lever manually with your hands after the pin is pulled so as to delay the grenade鈥檚 detonation.
