"What are you transporting in the truck?"

Li Xiangdong asked casually.

"We are a meat delivery truck, now heading to the slaughterhouse in the southern suburbs to pick up goods, then returning to the city to distribute them to the butchers at Nansha Street market," the driver answered, his expression very calm, showing no signs of deceit or fear. The other driver, who might also be a loader, was clearly exhausted and was snoring loudly on the other side.

Just looking at the cab, there was no problem.

"Get down, open the rear compartment, we need to take a look."

Li Xiangdong said to the driver, who reluctantly jumped out of the cab.

"Comrade police officer, my compartment isn't very clean. As you know, it carries freshly slaughtered pork every day, so the hygiene in the compartment is definitely..."

The greasy driver explained as he walked to the back, his face full of difficulty.

An Jianing and Hu Ying, both clean girls, immediately fell back half a step upon hearing this.

The rear compartment of the truck looked greasy from the outside, and the smell of decay could be detected from a distance. With this man's words, they could imagine how dirty the compartment must be.

"Don't worry, we're not from the health inspection department. We're from the police. We don't handle hygiene."

Li Xiangdong followed the man to the back of the truck.

At this moment, the lights behind them flashed. Li Xiangdong turned around and saw Qu Yaming guiding two cars to the back of the truck to wait for inspection.

He didn't think much about it, just reminding the truck driver to open the compartment quickly.

The driver slowly walked to the back, then started rummaging through his pockets for the keys. After half a minute, he finally found a key and started unlocking the door.

But for some reason, whether it was his greasy hands or something else, the lock on the rear door clanged several times without opening.

Without turning his head, Li Xiangdong whispered to An Jianing and Hu Ying beside him.

"There's something wrong. An Jianing, quickly call Captain Wei. Hu Ying, get ready for combat."

Despite the heavy rain and the strong smell from the truck, Li Xiangdong could still smell a different odor through the door, the smell of fresh blood, and it was human blood.

The power of the Wolf God not only gave him super hearing but also a super sense of smell.

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a faint 'rustling' sound from the front compartment. The wolf's ears were powerful, and even with the rain and the car horns behind them, he still heard the crisp sound of a gun being cocked and loaded from the front compartment.

"Take cover."

Li Xiangdong suddenly turned around and pounced on An Jianing and Hu Ying. At the same time, the driver who had been standing at the rear door, suddenly crouched down.

At that moment, gunshots erupted from the truck compartment, and several bullet holes quickly appeared on the side of the truck. The vicious bandits were shooting through the compartment, and more terrifyingly, they were aiming directly at where Li Xiangdong and the others had been standing.

If Li Xiangdong's reaction hadn't been quick enough to pounce on An Jianing and Hu Ying, they would have been hit by the bullets.

The 56 automatic submachine gun, equipped with steel-core bullets, at such close range, would be fatal even with a bulletproof vest.

The thin walls of the truck compartment were no match for the steel-core bullets fired by the 56 submachine gun.

Lying on the ground, they could even hear the sound of the spent shell casings hitting the floor, and the bullets whizzing over their heads. Li Xiangdong could feel the tense bodies of the two girls in his arms, slightly trembling.

The sound of gunfire, like popping beans, immediately woke up the other police officers resting in the nearby Iveco and Jinbei vans, who rushed out with their guns.

When Officer Wei saw the small truck behind them with continuous gunfire and tracer bullets shooting out of the compartment, and the three police officers lying on the ground about ten meters away, he was immediately enraged.

At this moment, the man who had been sleeping in the passenger seat suddenly threw off the coat covering him, pulled out a 56 semi-automatic rifle from under the coat, opened the car door, and started shooting at Wei Zhonghang and the others who were rushing over.

From the sound of the gunfire, it was clear that this man was an experienced shooter, using short bursts with a steady rhythm, and the steel-core bullets had strong penetration.

Wei Zhonghang and the others, who had just gotten out of the car, were immediately suppressed by the sudden attack. One police officer from the station was even hit in the shoulder, the powerful penetration of the bullet causing him to fly into the air and then fall heavily to the ground. The others were pinned behind the Iveco, only able to occasionally peek out to return fire.

In the city of Lingcheng, on the national highway checkpoint in the southern suburbs of the Yellow Sea, gunfire suddenly erupted...

Li Xiangdong looked up and saw that Wei Zhonghang and the others were pinned behind the Iveco, only able to return fire from behind the car.

On this side, the gunman in the box truck was still wildly firing in their direction, but he was using a submachine gun in full-auto mode, and his shooting had no rhythm, indicating he was likely a novice.

He lowered his head and asked An Jianing and Hu Ying, who were lying beside him, "Are you hurt?"

The two girls, who had been on the verge of fainting from panic, suddenly saw a pair of eyes as bright as morning stars in the dark, stormy night. It was like they had seen a clear spring, calm and composed, and the heat and panic in their hearts instantly disappeared.

They quickly checked themselves and shook their heads at him.

"Good. Wait a moment. When the gunman in the compartment runs out of bullets, he will stop to reload. You watch the front of the compartment and aim at the three-quarter mark on the back, at the nine o'clock direction, and fire three shots. Then aim at the seven o'clock direction and provide suppressive fire. I'll deal with the guy in front and help Captain Wei and the others."

His instructions were clear and calm, and the two girls' eyes gradually cleared, and they nodded.

The gunfire from the front of the truck gradually slowed down. Li Xiangdong looked at An Jianing and Hu Ying: "Three, two, one, now."

As he spoke, he rolled forward to the right, while An Jianing and Hu Ying both knelt on one knee, holding their guns and aiming at the front of the truck.
