Dull footsteps echoed in the street, and the team advanced. Jack's mind was racing, constantly thinking of ways to avoid the eye of the storm.
Obviously, it was not wise to act along this path, not to mention that he did not have a weapon in his hand; even if he did, he would not dare to act rashly.
Most of the people around were not calm and ordinary. Many would come out armed and shoot at them.
Most of them were well-trained soldiers, and even Jack could not handle them, let alone Emma and the other soldier behind him.
Turning his gaze toward the checkpoint ahead, Jack's eyes flickered as he looked at the group of civilians walking in the opposite direction, already paying close attention to figure out everything that was happening.
The team transporting Jack and the others passed through the crowd on both sides and soon arrived at the checkpoint, stopping at the gate of the fence.
This situation was bad. They knew they were being treated as enemies, so Jack, who was at the front, told the others to stand by, and the soldier who had pushed Jack earlier stepped forward to verify the information of Jack's trio.
Jack knew that if he entered this shelter, the chances of getting out would be very low, so he secretly adjusted his body to its best condition, raised his head, and looked at a soldier patrolling at the other end, above a port next to the inspection area. He moved his hand closer and knocked on the wall to one side.
Tock-tock-tock! Tock-tock! Tock-tock-tock!
The sound was not loud, and the soldiers in front of them were only looking ahead and did not pay attention.
But when Emma and the soldier heard those encrypted knocks, their expressions changed at the same time. Looking at Jack's back, their eyes were filled with astonishment and bewilderment, and at the same time there was a look of entanglement and struggle on their faces.
They could not be clearer about this signal. This was a signal used by soldiers who cannot speak but want to alert their comrades nearby before making a move.
Naturally, they understood what worried Jack, because it was what worried them as well.
But no matter how bad the situation was, they could not do it at that moment. They had to know that this place was guarded by armed soldiers.
Sweat dripped down the sides of several faces. They did not know whether to cooperate with Jack and take the risk, or stay on the sidelines and ensure their own safety first.
Jack did not know about the doubts of the people behind him, and even if he did, he probably would not change his mind.
Seeing the soldiers in front of him confirming the identities and about to push open the gate of the fence, Jack glanced at the rifle in the hands of the soldier standing to his right and at the same time moved his body slightly to the other side, intentionally or unintentionally.
Boom!
But just as Jack was about to make a move, a loud noise suddenly rang out in the surrounding area, and the sound seemed to come from a great distance.
Such a disturbance was unprecedented in the Beaver Community in all these years. Everyone looked in the direction of the explosion in shock, not knowing what had happened.
Bang bang bang bang!
Just as everyone was stunned, dozens of people suddenly appeared in the windows of the buildings on both sides, wielding weapons and firing wildly at the crowd below.
Immediately afterward, the door beneath them was kicked open with a loud crash, and countless people poured out from inside. They all carried different weapons, and their faces were filled with excitement.
"Rebels!"
"Enemy attack!"
"The Fireflies are here!"
"..."
The sudden gunfire and the crowd rushing out of the building caught the soldiers off guard, and they instinctively looked for places to take cover from the bullets.
However, only some of these suddenly appearing rebels were attacking the soldiers on the street, and most of them ran toward the checkpoint!
Seeing this situation, the soldiers at the checkpoint quickly raised their weapons and fired at the advancing rebels.
Seeing that the situation had suddenly become so chaotic, Jack was not going to wait there to die and turned toward the right side of the checkpoint to escape.
"Don't move!"
But who knew that when the soldiers escorting him saw Jack suddenly move, they immediately raised their weapons and aimed at him, warning him not to act rashly.
"Arrogant idiots!"
Seeing that the other side was still obsessed with detaining them after all this time, Jack cursed inwardly, grabbed the nearest soldier with one side of his body, hid behind him, and took the rifle.
The soldiers were shocked by Jack's behavior. They had not expected him to be so bold and to completely ignore their warnings.
This thought had barely crossed their minds when their fingers were already unconsciously about to pull the trigger.
But when their attention was on Jack, how could Emma and the other soldier behind them not make a decisive move?
In the past, they were afraid that making a move would put them in danger, which caused them to hesitate to attack, but now that the soldiers had no time to worry about the others, naturally they no longer had to worry about anything.
Those soldiers were caught off guard by the attack and were quickly subdued with ease, leaving everyone stunned.
"Take their weapons and let's get out of here!"
The soldier who was about to be restrained by him also lost consciousness. Jack snatched the opponent's rifle and suddenly saw two non-military vehicles heading toward the gate of the fence, and decisively signaled the others to retreat.
No one hesitated when they saw this and ran after Jack, during which they had to look over their heads to see what was happening behind them.
Jack saw many armed people getting out of the cars, who looked similar to the people attacking this place.
They attacked without restraint the soldiers who were still guarding the checkpoint and seemed to be waiting for the rebels on the other side of the checkpoint to come and open the gate for them.
"They're trying to seize the checkpoint!"
Seeing this situation, that thought flashed through their minds.
Emma could not help but ask Jack, who was running at the front, "Captain, what's going on? What should we do in this situation?"
"I don't know the answer to that question either!"
Bang!
Shooting and killing a rebel who suddenly rushed out from the corner, Brian shouted, "There's no time to lose now, we must leave this area quickly and contact the central base!"
As he spoke, Jack shouted to Emma, "At this time, the car we didn't leave far away shouldn't have been removed. We could grab a vehicle and then find ours. Is the key still inserted in the car?"
"It might be!"
Emma heard Jack shouting and continued firing behind her to cover the others as she replied, "Innocent people are dying."
"There's nothing we can do, we have to notify the central group to send reinforcements."
After saying those words, Jack kicked open a closed door beside him and rushed into a building.
This building seemed to be very important and a place where they could get what they were looking for.
But at that moment, there were indeed intense gunshots and heart-rending screams, and it seemed that there were already rebels inside.
Jack reached the back door. Apart from several items and corpses lying on the ground, there were no other rebels for the moment.
"Captain, why did you bring us here? Aren't we going to the parking lot?" The soldier stepped forward, looked at the messy room, and asked Jack suspiciously.
"There are many enemies, and they could easily mistake us for them. Neither the people here nor those attacking know us. We have to find a way out through here."
With a confident smile on his face, Jack still could not quite believe it when he saw a few people, so he chuckled and said, "Trust me, when have I ever lied to you before?"
On this point, Jack was not lying. He had personally gathered a lot of information that would help them get out of this place.
After following Jack, the group entered through the door, and a vast hall appeared before their eyes.
Torn papers and documents were scattered all over the floor, and the terrified crowd ran around like headless chickens, trampling over the corpses without stopping.
The rebels entered the building through several different entrances, with hideous smiles on their faces, and their weapons kept firing at the crowd.
The remaining soldiers in the building naturally defended themselves tenaciously. They knew that even if they surrendered, they would die. Fear of death unleashed their potential.
Unfortunately, as the number of rebels increased, they were easily suppressed and were forced to retreat upstairs.
Bang bang bang!
After rushing out of the room, Jack aimed his weapon at several rebels who were leaving the civilians behind and shot them, taking their lives directly.
The rebels who were about to go up the stairs to pursue the fleeing soldiers heard the gunshots behind them and all turned around.
"No, Dany!"
One of them was obviously the leader. Seeing his companion's corpse on the ground, his eyes turned red. He angrily pointed at Jack and the others who had suddenly appeared and shouted emotionally:
"Damn it, kill them all!"
