Bang, bang, bang!
Gunshots continuously echoed in the corridor, and one person after another fell. Talung was shot in the shoulder, and blood gurgled out, but he still gritted his teeth and held on. He didn't dare to fall; he knew that if he did, he probably wouldn't have another chance to get back up.
Tony's lower abdomen was also injured, but fortunately, it didn't hit a vital area; it was just a through-and-through wound.
But he also endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and fired, killing the two assassins chasing him from behind.
Blood flowed down his leather jacket onto his legs, all the way to his shoes, leaving sticky bloodstains on the ground.
Mina was slightly better off because Tony and Talung had shielded her, but her shoulder was still hit by a bullet. Fortunately, it was just a flesh wound.
At this moment, her phone screen in her pocket lit up, showing a call from Kane, but she didn't know because her phone was on silent and not set to vibrate.
Moreover, the situation was extremely critical. All three were highly focused; who had time to check if a call had come in? Their only thought now was to break through and survive.
A tactical squad rushed up from below, but they were caught off guard by the three, leaving three bodies behind. The remaining people retreated.
The assassins upstairs also didn't dare to get closer because the three were too fierce. After the three knocked down three members of the tactical squad, they took all their guns and equipment, temporarily gaining the ability to defend themselves.
"Fuck! There are at least three more people downstairs!"
Talung clutched his shoulder, using a tourniquet he'd taken from the tactical squad to treat his wound.
But the problem now was that the assassins upstairs were continuously gathering, and they weren't sure if there were assassins downstairs, but they assumed there were.
The three were almost out of options. Assassins kept coming, as if they were endless, fearless of death for the money.
The tactical squad members downstairs were also continuously suppressing them, preventing them from going further down, trapping them on the seventh floor, unable to go up or down, with nowhere to run.
This meant they could only defend passively now.
"How would I know? Don't ask me!"
Mina also gritted her teeth in anger, her M4 constantly moving up and down as she observed the enemy's movements.
A sense of despair slowly spread among the three; they were no longer sure if they would see the sun tomorrow.
Especially since they were all injured. Although the blood loss was slow, it still affected them to some extent. The most affected among them should be Tony.
A gunshot wound to the abdomen was not something that could be solved with a single hemostatic bandage, but Tony just forced himself to endure, claiming it was nothing serious. However, with the light from the emergency exit sign, Mina could clearly see that Tony's lips were slightly pale.
"What do we do now?"
Mina felt her pocket, found her phone, and immediately took it out, only to find two missed calls, both from Kane.
So, she directly called him back.
Buzz buzz~
Two seconds after the call was made, Mina heard what sounded like a phone vibrating in the corridor.
The next second.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang!
Gunshots rang out on the sixth floor, accompanied by a few thudding sounds of bodies falling.
The call was only answered then, "We're here."
This voice came both from the phone and from downstairs. Mina immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the assassins from above also began to push forward.
They thought the gunshots downstairs meant a comrade was firing to draw attention, so they immediately charged down. Tony was the first to notice; he raised his hand and fired.
He killed the first assassin who rushed down. The assassins behind paused.
Immediately after, footsteps sounded. Kane and Johnny had already rushed up. Neither of them had any injuries. Kane used the light from the emergency exit sign to check the injuries of the three. Except for Tony, who was more serious, the other two were fine.
But Johnny, that sly one, directly pulled the pins from two M67 grenades, paused for a moment, and then threw them out.
"You motherfucker!"
Kane, noticing Johnny's actions, even cursed out a national expletive, then quickly covered his ears. The next second, two massive explosions rang out.
Shrapnel flew wildly in the eighth-floor corridor, accompanied by curses and screams.
Immediately after, Johnny rushed up, M4 in hand.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
As soon as Johnny got up, he saw three assassins lying on the ground wailing. Without any hesitation, he immediately delivered the finishing shots.
Next, Johnny fired three shots through the fire door.
The 5.5 NATO standard green-tipped bullet, using a steel-lead composite warhead, can penetrate 6mm thick steel plates within 200 meters.
A mere fire door, that thin piece of iron, was no match for him. After the three bullets penetrated, Johnny clearly heard a muffled grunt from behind the door.
Immediately, Johnny pulled open the fire door and saw a person collapsed at the doorway, three bullets having pierced his chest.
After a quick check confirmed there were no other stragglers, Johnny closed the door and quickly returned to the seventh floor.
At this time, Kane had already helped Tony up, while Talung and Mina supported each other, quickly heading down to the sixth floor.
Upon reaching the sixth floor, Johnny didn't forget to quickly search the bodies to replenish his ammunition.
Upon arriving on the first floor, they didn't exit through the main lobby, but rather through the hotel's side door. Once the car door was opened, there was the black cadillac CT5 that Johnny was driving.
After getting everyone into the car, Kane sat in the passenger seat, while Johnny got into the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and sped away with a stomp on the accelerator.
"We fell into a trap. Gina was resting at this hotel and deliberately spread her information to lure us here to deal with him, to wipe us all out!"
Kane stated his conjecture, and in fact, this conjecture was almost certainly correct, but the three in the back didn't speak. They were too tired and injured.
Johnny then took out his phone, made a call, and then asked for the location of the Bangkok Continental Hotel.
Good, it was very close to them, less than a kilometer away. Johnny arrived after a few twists and turns. After arriving at the hotel, the tense nerves of the few people finally relaxed for a while.
The hotel's lobby manager had been waiting for a long time and arranged for the prepared doctors to take the three to the infirmary for treatment.
"By the way, do you have today's intelligence for Bangkok? Give me a copy."
Johnny said, taking out a gold assassin coin and handing it over.
The Continental Hotel's lobby manager was a Thai man, with slightly dark skin, but impeccably dressed. His white suit accentuated his refined demeanor.
He took the assassin coin, glanced at it, then went to the front desk, took out an envelope-like item, and handed it to Johnny.
Johnny took the envelope, opened it, and found a brief summary of all of today's intelligence inside.
Among them was the intelligence about Gina deliberately spreading information after leaving the hotel. Kane and Johnny's faces darkened.
