It was a good thing that they could scream, which meant that the two officers might not have been shot in the vitals by the machine guns, and would be disabled for the rest of their lives.
Luke frowned.
He didn't even dare show himself now.
The county officers in the rear had suffered a setback. They immediately began to counterattack the moment the robbers' M249s stopped firing.
A dozen automatic rifles were just as effective as machine guns, and had a wider range of fire.
And they were undoubtedly shooting at Luke and Selina.
Luke crouched down and said to Selina in a low voice, "Lower your body."
He had replaced the car's windows with bulletproof ones, but they weren't as safe as the reinforced steel and Kevlar inside the car.
Naturally, Selina did as she was told. She lay almost completely on the backseat with her tablet, but her eyes never left the tablet as she paid close attention to the battle.
The exchange of gunfire between the police and the robbers was fierce, if not brutal.
After the robbers used the M249 to intimidate the county police officers and knocked out two of them, the county police officers were infuriated.
Relying on their advantage in numbers, they suppressed the robbers and beat them up.
However, the robbers were very methodical. They covered each other as they retreated and shouted, "Moving!"
As they switched magazines, they also shouted a reminder, "Magic change! (Reloading) "
It was the same for the county officers, who were clearly regular troops.
The sounds of gunfire from both sides rang out incessantly.
But luck seemed to be on the county officers' side. They were the first to hit two of the retreating robbers.
One of the robbers was shot in the thigh, and was hit in the head as he struggled.
The other robber was shot in the neck, and could only hold his neck and gasp for breath. He was only minutes away from death.
Ten against six, the county officers clearly had the upper hand.
But the robbers were really good fighters. After two of their comrades fell, they maintained a steady rhythm and covered their retreat. There were no signs of them fleeing.
Very soon, two more of the county officers were shot and fell with screams.
But those who could scream were lucky. The two robbers who had been shot were starting to die.
Six against eight!
For a moment, the situation was at a stalemate again.
Luke saw from the surveillance that the county officers had split up.
Two county officers jumped over the guardrail and circled to an abandoned factory on the side of the road to outflank the robbers.
The robbers gradually retreated to Luke's side. He heard the sound of bullets hitting his car.
As the number of police and bandits decreased, the battle did not stop. Instead, it became more intense.
The sound of automatic rifle fire rang out incessantly, and Luke's car clanged continuously.
With a scream, a robber fell to the ground. He struggled but couldn't get up, and the rifle in his hand flew out.
The officers on the other side seemed to have read each other's minds. They also screamed, and one of them fell to the ground, clutching his leg. He had been shot.
Five versus seven!
At that moment, the robbers had retreated to a spot three or four cars away from Luke.
One of the robbers shouted "moving" again, but he had only taken two steps when a bullet hit his head.
The other robbers didn't even bother to check and continued to retreat.
Their disadvantage was becoming more and more obvious, and they were fighting on the territory of the county police. At least dozens of officers were on their way.
The SEB (Special Enforcement Bureau) of the Los Angeles County Police would definitely be on their way as well. By then, none of them would be able to escape.
Narrowing his eyes, Luke observed the position and direction of the four robbers on the surveillance camera. With a thought, he took out a tire opener from his inventory and gave it to Selina without looking back.
⊙_⊙? Selina was dumbfounded. She asked in a low voice, "What?!"
The machine guns and rifles were already engaged in a fierce battle outside. What was the meaning of this tire opener?
Luke said something in a low voice, and Selina's eyes lit up. She accepted the tire opener and weighed it in her hand with a satisfied expression. She then leaned against the right back door.
Finally, one of the robbers retreated to the front hood of the car and started to reload the magazine.
Luke stared at the man and saw that his sweaty elbow was exposed outside his T-shirt. He put down the hood of his car and immediately pressed a button on the dashboard with his left hand.
As he took out a magazine, the robber shouted, "Magc … Ugh, ugh, ugh."
Thump!
The man convulsed and collapsed on the hood of the car.
Looking at the surveillance feed, Luke raised three fingers at Selina, who was hiding in the backseat, to give her a warning.
Three! Two! One!
By the time Luke raised his third finger, Selina had already rolled down the rear window.
One of the robbers fired while backing up. He had just finished his bullets and was reloading from the trunk of Luke's car as he shouted, "Magchan …"
Clang! A soft but pleasing sound rang out.
Luke knew that the robber was very stubborn when he heard the sound.
The stubborn robber didn't manage to finish his sentence before he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
Selina quickly pulled back, lay down, and quickly rolled up the rear window.
Luke also sat up straight. He rolled down the window on the driver's side, and happened to be facing a robber who was crouching and looking at him.
A white ball quickly expanded in the robber's line of sight.
Bang!
The robber's head jerked up, and he hit the car next to him before he fell to the ground. His eyes were completely rolled back, and blood was oozing out of his mouth and nose.
All of a sudden, the gunshots became sparse.
The last robber turned around and saw the robber who had collapsed next to the car on Luke's left. His eyes instantly turned red. "Matt!"
He dashed over to check on the robber who had collapsed next to the front of the car, and didn't notice that Luke had rolled down the window that he had just rolled up.
The car on Luke's left was slightly behind his, and Luke's driver's window was probably at the front of the car.
The last robber was only one meter away from Luke.
As he rolled down the window, Luke had already stretched out his right hand. Selina cooperated perfectly, and stuffed the tire opener, which she had used to knock out one of the robbers earlier into Luke's right hand.
He switched it to his left hand, and the next moment, it quietly extended out of the window and hovered over the head of the last robber.
Clang!
The robber's body went limp, and he fell to the ground.
Luke quickly pulled back his hand and tossed the tire opener to the passenger seat. "Handcuff the guy at the back door."
Selina immediately opened the door and took out handcuffs to handcuff the robber who had been knocked out next to the door.
Luke opened the passenger seat door and quickly crawled out. He dragged the unconscious robber off the hood of the car and handcuffed him too.
