Chapter 345: Chapter 170: Chaotic Battle in the Torrential Rain

“Airplane! There’s an airplane!!”

In the chaos, some villagers pointed to the sound of helicopter blades coming from afar, shouting desperately. The location where the helicopter was landing was not far away, just about three kilometers, which could be jokingly described as just a tap on the throttle away.

But the villagers, having already been incited by the Midnapore Special Zone police, now seeing the helicopter approaching, all thought it meant the military was about to take deadly action. Each of them became even more frenzied, swinging their sticks and hoes with full force, all crashing fiercely onto the riot shields.

It wasn’t long before a policeman couldn’t take it, and was accidentally struck on the thigh by a stick, toppling to the ground.

The riot police weren’t strong enough originally, and now with a breach, their formation was instantly scattered by villagers charging from the rear. It was as if a dam had burst and flooded; hundreds of villagers flanked and ambushed from the back. The riot police had no superhuman abilities and were knocked down by several rioters in an instant.

It seemed to be a way to vent their inner anger and resentment.

Even when they fell, they did not stop attacking, still swinging their sticks at the police’s bodies. Some hurriedly used their shields to barely protect themselves, closing their eyes to the terrifying thuds, while others weren’t quick enough to dodge, getting hit on their flesh and bones, letting out harrowing cries of pain.

“Protect your head and vital parts! Protect the vital parts!!”

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, even the riot squad captain had been knocked to the ground. Gu Ji hurriedly picked up a loudspeaker and shouted, “All remaining riot police! Assemble five meters ahead, according to the first unit, intervals of 30 centimeters between soldiers, form an inner and outer circular formation, gather to protect the fallen injured! Quickly!!”

Some remaining isolated riot police were struggling to hold on when they suddenly heard the order. Without caring who issued it, they acted as if taking a desperate chance, immediately forming a circle, shields outwards, slowly approaching their colleagues who’d been knocked to the ground.

Meanwhile, many villagers, seeing they couldn’t intervene for the moment, shifted their targeting to Gu Ji and others hiding behind pickups and armored vehicles.

In an instant, a shadow in black rushed towards him, a hoe swung down with a fierce gust.

Gu Ji’s eyes flashed with a glint of hostility, veins bulging on his forehead. He stepped forward and sidestepped, instantly dodging the hoe. Then, twisting his waist and body sideways, his right arm, with muscles knotted and building power like a writhing giant python, pushed forth, slamming his fist fiercely into the shadow’s jaw.

Bang!

The punch landed, massive force flowed from the jaw’s trigeminal nerve into the cerebellum, causing the shadow to lose balance and fall with a splash into the water.

“Vidi! Watch out!”

At this moment, Fatima’s exclamation came from behind. Just as Gu Ji finished dealing with one rioter, another robust figure lunged at him from behind, “Pumba, get down!!”

The shadow shouted, swinging a police baton down, it was a policeman from the Midnapore Special Zone!

Without hesitation, Gu Ji’s CQC close-combat skills kicked in like instinct, nimbly dodging the baton, while his left hand, like a hunting viper, coiled around the black-clad man’s baton-wielding arm.

Wrist-elbow lock!

Gu Ji quickly stepped around to the man’s back, clasping his wrist joint, executing a police hold!

“Damn you, Pumba! How dare you assault a policeman!!”

The zone officer yelped in pain, the baton fell into the water, and his eyes widened in shock. Despite the intense joint pain, he managed to break free from the lock and turned to draw his gun.

He’s intending to kill!

In this critical moment, the malice in Gu Ji’s eyes became unrestrained, quickly reaching out, grabbing the opponent’s gun-holding left hand. His core muscles exploded with power, lifting his right knee directly into the man’s lower back.

The kidney is in the lower back, and with muscle strength nearly 1.5 times that of ordinary people, he penetrated with explosive force, forcing the crooked cop to grit his teeth and retreat, letting go of his gun.

With that step back, Gu Ji immediately followed up, launching a jab, swing, jab, jab, a four-point combo, each punch on point, striking the crooked cop’s head with a series of crackling thuds.

On the other side, villagers began swarming the special border forces, lunging at the soldiers.

“Kill these lackeys!”

“Protect the dam!”

“Everyone, charge!! Smash all their stuff so they can’t explode it!”

…

Facing the villagers’ attacks, the soldiers wouldn’t hold back like the police or Gu Ji. Marlo directly raised his rifle butt, shoving it fiercely into a charging rioter’s face, the immense force causing the latter’s front teeth to snap instantly, blood streaming down.

“All members of Groups A and B, listen up! Ensure the protection of demolition equipment and explosives!”

With that, Marlo raised his gun, firing two shots into the sky, signaling a warning, “I’m giving this final warning! Anyone daring to approach and sabotage military equipment and supplies will be shot on the spot!!”

The gunfire pierced the night sky, echoing through the mountain gorge.

The warning shots were indeed intimidating, instantly stopping those villagers who were about to charge, leaving them too scared to step forward.

Meanwhile, Gu Ji, having dealt with the crooked cop, quickly picked up the baton and handgun from the water.

“Vidi, are you alright?”

Fatima anxiously ran over from behind the vehicle.

“I’m fine.” Gu Ji responded offhandedly, quickly inspecting the handgun in his hand. It was a Beretta 92 semi-automatic pistol, indicating that the Midnapore Special Administrative Region Government was indeed wealthy; typical Indian police departments couldn’t afford such firearms, as they’re typically prioritized for the military, “Call the regional government head again, urging the reinforcements to arrive quickly, and also call for a medical emergency team; there are injuries on the scene!”
