Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 46 Melee
Sean sent the text message that he had edited long ago but never sent.

The Sand Scorpions were already in place, and Suleimant's opponents were already in ambush.

Suleimant’s opponent is really Francesca, but I don’t know if Francesca is really as he said, so I can only offer a reward of 200,000 US dollars.

Mexicali is a border city. Along a barbed wire fence are densely packed buildings, while on the American side is a desert. You need to walk a few more kilometers to reach the city of El Centro.

Gao Yi always thought that the entrance to the tunnel was outside the city, but he didn't expect that just a hundred meters away from the border barbed wire, on a street, in a seemingly ordinary neighborhood, Sean suddenly stepped on the brakes.

The entrance to the tunnel was provided by Suleiman, and the tunnel is not accessible to vehicles, so a pickup truck full of money was parked at the entrance, but it was obviously impossible to bring the money in.

Sean whispered, "We're here, where's your car?"

Suleiman said anxiously, "Hey guys, no matter what you thought before, have you changed your mind now? Are you sure you want to let me go?"

Sean nodded, but Suleimant looked at Gao Yi and said, "You say it, you promise!"

Gao Yi didn't want to promise, but after looking at Sean, he finally said, "I promise not to kill you!"

Suleimant spread his hands and said, "Then how are you going to get the money? If you can't get the money, how can you possibly let me go?"

Sean said without hesitation: "I told you I have someone to pick you up. I found someone and asked them to take the money away, and the two of us will take you through the tunnel. Once I'm sure the money is safe, I'll release you in the United States. How's that? Isn't it safe?"

Suleimant hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, get out of the car!"

"and many more."

Sean picked up the phone and said, "Let me make a call."

Sean dialed the number, and after he waited for the call to be connected, he whispered, "Are you there yet?"

Not knowing what the other party said, Sean immediately said: "Now you come out and drive the car full of money."

After that, Sean said to Suleimant, "Where's the money? Where's the car with the money? Where's the entrance to the tunnel?"

Gao Yi picked up the claw hammer, and Suleimant immediately said, "I'll call! I'll call!"

Suleimant quickly dialed the number, and when the call was connected, he said urgently: "Drive the car out and show them the money!"

Without hanging up the phone, following Suleimant's order, a rolling door in front of Gao Yi and his team suddenly began to rise, and then a pickup truck fell out from it and stopped across the narrow street. After turning around, it stopped on the side of the road, very close to Gao Yi and his team's car.

Gao Yi looked around and saw that both ends of the street were blocked by cars. The most amazing thing was that in addition to Suleimant's men, there were actually several police cars.

So what to do next?

At this moment, Sean suddenly asked, "Do you know what to do after getting off the car and entering the tunnel?"

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, because Sean didn't tell him what to do beforehand, so he couldn't tell whether Sean's words about getting out of the car and entering the tunnel were true or false.

"Uh, I don't know."

Gao Yi honestly said he didn't know.

Sean said, "You get out of the car first and pull over. I'll control him, and then the three of us will go through the tunnel and we'll be safe on the other side."

After that, Sean said to Suleimant, "Isn't that right?"

Suleimant immediately said, "That's right! But how do you get the money? Where are your people? Why don't they come out to get the money?"

Sean said, "You won't have to worry about losing your money if you're in our hands. Once we get there and make sure it's safe, it won't be too late to get the money. Okay, get off the car, you get off first."

Sean asked Gao Yi to get off the car first.

Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, then he opened the car door.

The moment he got off the car, Gao Yi's legs felt really weak and his heart was beating violently in the right side of his chest.

I really don't know how many guns are pointed at me all around, and I can't see any of them right now. The less I can see, the more panicked I get.

Gao Yi got out of the car and walked a few steps to the side. He reached the door of the rolling shutter. He looked inside and saw that there were only four people inside. They didn't even have guns in their hands. They could only stare at him nervously.

Gao Yi felt much more relaxed and waved towards Sean's car.

Why can't I see any people from the Sand Scorpion, nor any other people? At the moment, it seems that only Suleimant's people have blocked both ends of the road.

While Gao Yi was curious, Sean finally got out of the driver's seat.

After looking around, Sean opened the back door, then waved at Suleimant and said, "Come out slowly. If you hurry up, I'll kill you. Get your legs out first..."

Suleimant put his legs on the ground first, and at this time he was basically relieved.

But as soon as Suleimant's feet touched the ground, Sean, who seemed to be not moving, suddenly grabbed Suleimant's clothes and pulled him out. Without waiting for Suleimant to come out, he turned around and ran towards the rolling shutter where Gao Yi was.

"Get in!"

Sean roared and rushed towards Gao Yi. Gao Yi turned and entered the garage-like room behind the rolling shutter door. He waved his left hand and started smashing with a claw hammer in his right hand.

Suleimant was pulled out. He staggered and stood beside the car in a daze, looking at Sean in confusion.

Then, there was a burst of gunfire.

At least a dozen guns fired simultaneously.

Suleimant had just stood firm when bullets came intensively at him from all directions. In an instant, there were at least a dozen bullet holes on Suleimant's body, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.

With his eyes wide open, Suleimant had no idea what was going on until he died.

Sean lowered his head and rushed forward. He watched Suleimant fall to the ground and really die on the street. Suddenly, a second round of gunfire rang out on both sides of the road with him as the center, and this time the bullets were fired at Sean.

The pursuers at both ends of the street stopped at least three hundred meters away because Suleimant would not let them get close.

Dozens of guns soon turned into hundreds of guns firing indiscriminately, but Suleimant's men could not open fire at the first moment, so when they confirmed that Suleimant was dead and pointed their guns at Sean, Sean had already run into the rolling shutter door.

This little bit of time difference is what we want.

Gao Yi hit each of the four men who didn't have guns. By the time Sean ran in, all four of them had fallen to the ground.

Xiao En pulled Gao Yi and stood against the wall, then said, "Wait!"

With a loud bang, something exploded outside the rolling shutter door, and the air wave swept in with dust.

Then bullets hit the walls on both sides of the door.

Gao Yi was puzzled and asked: "What's going on?"

"do not know."

"Let's go next..."

"Wait"

No one could hear it unless they shouted loudly, but listening to the dense gunfire and occasional explosions outside, Gao Yi looked at the door inside the house and said, "Aren't we going into the tunnel?"

"Can't come in!"

Sean pointed his hand outside the door and said, "We are in the eye of the storm. Although it looks dangerous, it is actually the safest place! Now you know why I don't want money, because there is no way I can take it!"

He couldn't see what was going on outside, so Gao Yi asked anxiously, "Where's the Sand Scorpion? Was it the Sand Scorpion that fired the shot just now?"

"No! It was Francesca's men! They would not open fire until they saw Suleimant, because they were not sure whether what I said was true or not, but once they saw Suleimant, they would definitely open fire. So Suleimant is dead, your mission is completely completed, and you have not broken your promise."

It really is the eye of the typhoon. There is fierce fighting outside, but no bullets are coming in from the front here.

Gao Yi said anxiously: "But they will eventually end the battle. If we don't leave, won't we still die?"

"No, as long as Suleimant is alive, his people will fight to the end. But now Suleimant is dead! Died in front of his men, his men will disperse, Francesca's people will insist on fighting to the end, and the Sand Scorpion will come to take the money."

After speaking confidently, Sean smiled and said, "So, the last group of Sand Scorpions to rush in will be the ones with the strongest fighting will. We just need to follow the Sand Scorpions and leave. Now, we just have to wait!"

The plan was simple, like there was no plan at all, it was nothing more than calling everyone over and letting them start a big fight.

But Sean also bet his and Gao Yi's lives on this unplanned melee.

However, Sean did leave the most dangerous job to himself, because he let Gao Yi get off the car first and entered the tunnel entrance.

The battle lasted only about two minutes, and the gunfire died down without warning.

Sean picked up the phone and shouted, "Take the money. We are behind this rolling door. Protect us as we leave. The money is in the pickup truck! If you don't do anything, someone else will take the money. Now that Suleimant is dead, anyone can take the money. Everyone wants it!"

After Sean finished speaking, the obviously sparse gunfire outside rang out again.

It didn't take long, just a minute, before a hurried shout was heard outside. Sean looked outside and said, "The sand scorpion is here, get ready to leave."

Gao Yi was very close to the pickup truck carrying the money. He saw a group of strong men in plain clothes, but each of them was wearing a bulletproof vest, and each of them was fully armed, coming to the side of the pickup truck.

"The car was damaged!"

“There is money, but how do I get it?”

"Fake!"

"Bring the money down!"

"No, drag the car up and rush out."

Check the vehicles, check the money, and find a way to take the money away, but it takes time to take the money, so those people outside inevitably fell into chaos.

The people outside were making a lot of noise. One of them looked at Sean, and Sean waved and said, "Hey, Sand Scorpion, you don't have to kill me. Can you take us away at the same time?"

A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses tilted his head and shouted into the intercom hanging on his shoulder: "Drive over here! Break through the roadblocks. There is too much money and it's too late to move it!"

He didn't say he would protect Sean, but he didn't shoot at Sean and Gao Yi either. Sand Scorpion knelt on one knee, then raised his gun and started shooting.

Gao Yi whispered, "Go out?"

Sean pointed his finger and said, "Don't worry, it's still dangerous outside, look."

A mercenary who was leaning against the wall and shooting with a gun suddenly fell backwards. His gun fell to the ground and his face was facing Gao Yi, but there was a bullet hole on his face.

Sean whispered, "This is being a mercenary. This is a battle. You can die at any time. No matter how good your kung fu is, you are just one person. On a battlefield like this, you are just a person like him, an ordinary person who will die if you get shot!"

Gao Yi immediately said: "I don't want to be a mercenary."

"Given your style, you are more suitable to be a mercenary than a killer. But even if you become a killer, you will die sooner or later if you act alone. Think about it carefully. You really need us. You need an assistant, you need someone to help you. You need someone to help you avoid falling into this situation."

Gao Yi was really convinced. He said helplessly, "You didn't go into the tunnel just to let me see these, right?"

Sean shook his head and said, "Of course not. I have to be responsible for my own life. There must be a lot of people waiting for us at the other end of the tunnel, so we definitely can't go into the tunnel. Let's wait a while until the sand scorpion clears the way and then we go. Wait a little longer."
