Without asking any unnecessary questions, he quickly ordered through the headset, "Alert! Switch to burst fire, and make sure not to hit the nuclear weapon container!"
In reality, the Tactical Nuclear Weapon was not as fragile as they imagined; the Tactical Missile loaded with a nuclear warhead would not detonate just because it was hit by a bullet. But who knew that? None of the people present were physicists or nuclear researchers, so they could only act according to their simplistic understanding.
The Third Action Team exchanged fire with the Serpent Strike members. The Serpent Strike personnel were reckless, knowing that the nuclear weapon was behind them; they fired without hesitation. They charged out from behind their cover, holding down the trigger and unleashing a hail of bullets. Even the guy making Bojins dared to throw grenades! As long as they threw them from a safe distance, ensuring they wouldn't hit the Tactical Nuclear Weapon, they could throw them freely!
On the other hand, despite having the numerical advantage, the Third Action Team was hampered by concerns about the nuclear weapon. They could only fire in short bursts on the transport ship filled with containers, which severely limited their effectiveness. Fortunately, there were enough containers that when grenades exploded, only some team members were shaken but not seriously harmed.
"Damn it! This can't go on!" Ryan saw two of his subordinates get hit by Serpent Strike's gunfire, and his eyes turned red with anger. He decisively contacted the Investigation Bureau for reinforcements while picking up a loudspeaker to negotiate: "Our Investigation Bureau personnel are on their way; you can't escape!"
"Put down your weapons, and we can lessen your sentences!"
"Xie Te! Do you really want to spend your life in prison?"
The Serpent Strike members ignored him; their leader Bojins even laughed: "Dear Investigation Bureau! You don't think we have no backup, do you?!"
"Damn it! This is my first time hearing someone think they can outnumber us in Metropolis!"
With those words, both Pristo and Ryan felt immense pressure. If Serpent Strike continued to go wild and called in more reinforcements, what would happen to their Investigation Bureau? Would they concede defeat in Metropolis? Withdraw? Absolutely not!
The more likely scenario was that this situation would escalate from a small-time smuggling operation into a widespread Black and White war! The transport ship was gradually turning into a meat grinder, continuously drawing both sides of the Black and White conflict into a deadly confrontation.
The more they thought, the greater the pressure became. Pristo and Ryan were both cursing inwardly, wondering what kind of situation they had gotten themselves into. William was also using his handgun, doing his best to alleviate the pressure on his colleagues from the Third Action Team. But no matter how skilled he was with a gun, it was of little use.
The enemy, the Serpent Assassins, were suppressing them with overwhelming firepower, bullets raining down like they were free. William didn’t dare show his head; he could only cautiously extend his gun out from behind cover and fire a couple of shots at random, unable to see if he hit anything. In such a situation, what good was marksmanship?
At the same time, he couldn’t understand why Captain Pristow had been so decisive in their earlier ambush; these Serpent Assassins were truly insane! In this chaotic scene where they were firing their submachine guns without restraint, anyone who dared to negotiate would find themselves turned into a sieve in the blink of an eye.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, choking him. William finally realized that when dealing with the Serpent Gang, one couldn’t be too procedural. Gunfights could really elevate the adrenaline levels of the audience; the more they watched, the more thrilling it became.
"Damn, this is what Di Yi Wei is all about—so intense!"
"Good! Both sides keep sending in reinforcements; I want to see rivers of blood!"
"They're at a stalemate now; it all depends on which side's reinforcements arrive first. If the Serpent Assassins get there first, it’ll be a pincer move; if the Investigation Bureau arrives first, it’ll be a numbers game."
