Super Detective in the Fictional World

hed forward slowly while they warned the people in the cars to stay low or run away ASAP.

The green bulletproof vests and the yellow “Sheriff” words on them were a clear indication of their identities to everyone.

Seeing the heavy firepower weapons they were holding, almost everybody who was warned fled quickly.

Hiding inside their cars wasn’t safe, since there was still a chance that they would get hit.

The officers weren’t holding pistols but automatic rifles.
Anybody with the slightest bit of common sense knew that apart from the engine, a regular car couldn’t block a rifle shot.

But a car only had one engine, and wasn’t absolutely safe.

Done changing, Selina examined her gun and asked, “When do we take action?”

Luke frowned.

He didn’t really dare open fire in the current situation.

This was Los Angeles County, not downtown Los Angeles.

More critically, the county officers and the robbers were all heavily armed.

If Luke was the first to shoot, all the casualties would be on his head.

It would be impossible for him to immediately kill eight fully-armed, highly vigilant robbers with military backgrounds.

“Wait a moment.
Don’t be hasty,” Luke said.

But his tone changed the next second.
“Sh*t!”

That was because he saw a robber get out of the passenger seat of one of the cars… with an M249 paratrooper machine gun.
Lunatics!

That was all Luke could think.

Do you need such a lethal weapon for a robbery? This isn’t a warring country!

Thinking quickly, Luke took out a tear gas grenade from his inventory.
Getting out of the car, he threw it out.

With his current Strength, fifty meters was nothing.

A moment later, smoke suddenly spread out from the robbers’ SUVs with a bang.

Alarmed, the county officers immediately went low.

But the robbers were too professional.
A few gas masks were thrown out of the cars, and everybody put them on.

Luke was lost for words.
Are you here for a robbery or to fight terrorism? Why would you carry gas masks for this operation?

But his tear gas grenade had achieved its purpose.

The robbers’ pace was disrupted, and the county officers behind Luke were now more vigilant and had slowed their approach as they became even more cautious.

Luke sat back inside his car and closed the door in relief.

If he hadn’t thrown the grenade out just now, it was possible that some of the county officers might’ve been killed.

Though they might be dirty cops, there was no evidence to prove it yet.
Besides, they were doing their duty to catch the robbers, and Luke certainly couldn’t watch them die.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Selina was quite shocked by the deafening gunfire.
Her mouth was wide open as she watched the surveillance feed on the tablet.
“A machine gun? Seriously?” Those who had never seen a machine gun barrage could barely imagine its power.

Machine guns appeared in countless movies, but their force tended to be weakened for plot purposes.

A burst of hundreds of bullets from a machine gun could easily suppress dozens of foot soldiers.

This was something that the county officers were all too well aware of.

Almost everybody was lying on the ground, and didn’t dare raise their heads at all.

Even so, there were still two screams amidst the gunfire.

Luke looked carefully at the surveillance feed; it seemed that two unfortunate officers had been hit by stray bullets.
