Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 329 Stubborn Robbers and Luke’s Secret Weapon

The screams were good, since it meant that the injuries weren’t critical hits and that the officers would still live, even if they might be disabled.

Luke frowned.

He didn’t dare casually stick his head out now.

After this setback, the county officers returned fire the moment the robbers’ M249 stopped firing.

Their dozen automatic rifles were almost as powerful as the machine gun, and had a wider range.

Unfortunately, Luke’s car was in the way of their bullets.

Bending down, Luke whispered to Selina, “Stay low.”

He had already changed the car’s windows so that they were bulletproof, but they still weren’t as safe as the reinforced steel and Kevlar in the car’s frame.

Naturally, Selina listened to him and lay almost flat in the backseat, her eyes fixed on the tablet as she observed the battle outside.

The battle was heated and desperate the moment it began.

After the robbers injured two officers with the M249, the other officers were enraged.

With their advantage in numbers, they suppressed the robbers with a storm of bullets.

However, the robbers were well-organised, and covered each other in turns as they yelled out when they were moving or reloading.

The county officers were obviously well-trained too.

Not a second went by without gunfire.

But luck seemed to be on the county officers’ side, as they hit two of the retreating robbers first.

One was hit in the thigh and then in the head while he was struggling. He was killed on the spot.

The other was shot in the neck. He clamped a hand to the injury and gasped for breath on the ground, but it was clear that he was dying Ten against six – the county officers had the clear advantage.

But the robbers’ battle training was exceptional. They covered each other and continued to retreat at a steady pace despite their two fallen comrades. Their formation didn’t collapse, nor did they scatter.

Soon, another two officers were shot. They screamed and fell.

But they were lucky they could scream at all, when the two robbers who were shot were already growing cold

Eight against six!

The situation seemed to be at an impasse once again.

Luke saw the officers split up on the surveillance feed. Two officers jumped over the guardrail and ran to an abandoned factory next to the road, hoping to flank the robbers from behind.

The robbers were gradually drawing close to Luke’s location in their retreat. Luke could hear the thuds of multiple bullets hitting his car.

The number of police officers and robbers dropped, but the battle grew even more intense.

A robber collapsed with a scream. He struggled but couldn’t get back to his feet, and his rifle had also been sent flying.

One of the officers also screamed at the same time and fell, gripping where he had been shot in the leg.

Seven against five!

At that moment, the robbers were only four cars away from Luke.

One of the robbers shouted “Moving,” but was only able to take two steps before he was shot right in the head.

The other robbers couldn’t check on him at all, and continued to retreat.

The situation was clearly becoming more and more disadvantageous for them. They were in the territory of the county officers, who had reinforcements coming.

Luke narrowed his eyes as he observed the positions and movements of the four robbers. He quickly took out a car jack from his inventory, and gave it to Selina without looking back.

Selina was dumbfounded. She asked in a low voice, “What??”

Why are you giving me a car jack when everyone one else has rifles and machine guns?

Luke whispered something to her, and Selina’s eyes lit up. She took the car jack and weighed it in her hand, looking very pleased, before she leaned against the back door on the right.

Finally, one of the robbers retreated to Luke’s car, and leaned on the hood of the car to change clips.

Luke stared at the guy in silence. Seeing that the guy’s sweaty elbow was on the hood, Luke immediately pressed a button on the center console.

While taking out a new clip, the robber shouted, “Relo… uh uh uh.”

Crash!

The man’s entire body convulsed and he fell over the car hood.

Looking at the surveillance feed, Luke raised three fingers at Selina, who was waiting at the back door.

Three! Two! One!

When Luke dropped the last finger, Selina had already rolled down the car window.

A robber who had used up his bullets was reloading his gun when he passed the back of the car. He was shouting, “Reload…”

Clang! There was a low but pleasant sound.

Hearing it, Luke could tell that the guy had a hard skull.

The robber who had a hard skull didn’t finish his sentence. He passed out from the pain that exploded in the back of his head.

Selina quickly pulled back, lay down, and rolled the window up.

On Luke’s end, he sat up straight and rolled down the window on the driver’s side. Just nice, a robber who was crouched down was facing Luke.

A white ball grew bigger and bigger in the robber’s line of sight.

Bang!

The robber’s head jerked up violently, and he was knocked into a car on the side before he fell to the ground. Only the whites of his eyes could be seen, and blood oozed from his mouth and nose.

All of a sudden, the gunshots became sparse.

The last robber turned around, only to see the robber who had just fallen on the left side of Luke’s car, and his eyes turned red. “McCourt!”

He dashed over to check the robber who had just fallen, and completely missed Luke, who rolled down the window once again.

The car on Luke’s left was slightly to the back, and the driver’s seat of Luke’s car was parallel with the other car’s front hood.

The last robber was only one meter away from Luke.

As he rolled down the window, Luke stretched out his right hand, and Selina immediately passed him the car jack which she had used to knock out a robber just now.

Switching the jack to his left hand, he stealthily stretched his arm out the window, and it hung in the air for one moment, before he finally brought it down on the last robber’s head.

Clang!

The robber’s body went limp, and he collapsed. Luke quickly pulled back and threw the car jack into the front passenger seat. “Handcuff the guy at the back door.”

Selina immediately opened the door and handcuffed the robber she had knocked out.

Luke shifted over to open the front passenger door and quickly got out. He dragged the unfortunate robber who had passed out from an electric shock off the car hood and handcuffed the guy as well.

Where was the shock from? Naturally, it was an electric shock defense system that Luke had come up with to deal with car thieves.
