NOVEL NEXT Chapter 105: Wait a Moment
The Investigation and Arrest Bureau has a total of five squads.
Each is a five-person squad, with the captain being Second-Grade, and four team members at First-Grade.
Among them, three captains are fully combat-ready, one is seriously injured, and one is lightly injured.
20 First-Grade team members.
Six have already fallen, leaving 14 remaining, with three seriously injured.
Director of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau, Lu Xingrong, was injured by a control rope and can barely exert the strength of a Second-Grade at his peak; his injury could worsen at any moment.
Among the masses, there are three First-Grade Martial Artists, but they are purely Qi and Blood Martial Artists, only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
On the potential class side.
Dai Yuegui is a Fourth-Grade, fully combat-ready.
The others who can fight are Su Yue, Liao Ji, Zhou Yuncan... Liao Ping could be counted as half, but he doesn't dare to act.
And there's also a dog.
The detailed intelligence of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau has already reached Lu Xinrong's communicator.
He is constantly in contact with the outer Investigation and Arrest Bureau, at least able to get the latest information, knowing the enemy and oneself is always better than groping in the dark.
On the rooftop, a peak Fourth-Grade evil cultist, he can only be dealt with by Dai Yuegui.
And more than 140 miscellaneous evil cultists, among them, 50 Second-Grade martial artists.
Although this group of rabble are merely Qi and Blood Martial Artists, they can combinedly unleash an attack with cross-tier Gang Qi.
Of course, there is some good news.
The Investigation and Arrest Bureau analyzed that this group of rabble has sacrificed blood, currently very weak, possibly halved in combat power, their role is to slaughter ordinary people, their strength weaker.
The Investigation and Arrest Bureau has five Second-Grades, combined with some armor, can barely hold the east and west gate of the rooftop.
But the door to the basement, they are truly powerless.
In the basement, there are 50 First-Grade martial artists.
Hateful, the Yangxiang Sect evil cultists are all wearing full-body leather armor.
The Investigation and Arrest Bureau analyzed that although these leather armors are not as good as the plow skin battle armor, their defensive effect is strong; even Third or Fourth-Grade martial artists have difficulty cutting through.
Each evil cultist is equipped with battle armor, and it even covers the head, Yangxiang Sect has certainly spent a fortune this time, armed to the teeth.
The opponent, apart from having slightly weaker attack power, is nearly invincible at the moment.
The Investigation and Arrest Bureau wants to kill the cultists; it's exceedingly difficult.
"The basement's door, let's have the potential class take responsibility!"
Taking a deep breath, Su Yue nodded.
Liao Ji clenched a dagger in his palm, his eyes flickering with fierce light.
A year of pursuit and escape has made him accustomed to danger.
Zhou Yuncan had no objection.
Although Oyster Sauce is formidable, due to the leather armor, its teeth have no effect, so its combat power is negligible.
In reality, guarding the basement's door ultimately falls to Su Yue, Liao Ji, and Zhou Yuncan!
The other three Qi and Blood Martial Artists temporarily support the Investigation and Arrest Bureau in defending the rooftop.
"For now, we'll set it up this way. If anything unexpected arises, we'll redeploy on the fly!"
In less than a minute, everyone had received their tasks.
Three doors, three groups.
Actually, it's not too complex.
"Classmates, starting now, you are members of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau. If we all survive, you will be the benefactors of me, Lu Xinrong."
"Here, I thank everyone!"
Lu Xinrong stood up and bowed deeply towards Su Yue and the others.
"Director, you're being too serious!"
Su Yue and the others didn't waste any words, turning to leave immediately.
The basement door was already making noises, the sound of evil cultists unlocking.
"Leave a dozen people to settle ordinary folks, the rest, come with me!"
Su Yue led the potential class in a grand march to the basement.
In the hall, too many unconscious ordinary people lay, they needed to be gathered systematically.
If any door can't be held, the Investigation and Arrest Bureau will still have to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the cultists inside the mall.
No ordinary people should be within dozens of meters of the three doors.
Actually, not many classmates in the potential class have woken up; they might have Qi and blood values too low to counteract the drug effect.
Leave 13 classmates to carry people.
Actually, only 20 went down with Su Yue.
As Su Yue and the others descended the stairs, the two doors on the rooftop had already opened, and the Investigation and Arrest Bureau, wielding two shields, charged up unflinchingly, with Dai Yuegui taking the lead, the first to reach the rooftop.
He couldn't let the Fourth-Grade evil cultist breach the mall.
Fourth-Grade martial artists battling can easily accidentally harm ordinary people, and their mission is to protect these martial artists' families vowing to the death.
This concerns the main wetland battlefield.
Su Yue and the others also received a shield.
In reality, relying on this shield, they wouldn't last a few minutes, but it's better than nothing.
The only three shields, one per squad.
The basement!
Already three First-Grade cultists rushed in.
Liao Ji and Zhou Yuncan tangled with them, while Su Yue's figure flashed, blocking the door directly.
Bang bang bang bang!
More than 20 punches were thrown consecutively, and finally, the cultists inside were pushed back.
Sadly, the opponent wasn't injured at all.
Su Yue wanted to curse out, "Cao Ni Ma!"
Armed to the teeth, it's no exaggeration.
Black from head to toe, all low-budget plow skin armor, and these people also wearing goggles, making hitting their vital spots impossible with Tongue Sword.
How wealthy is this Yangxiang Sect?
Actually, Dai Yuegui mentioned before, Yangxiang Sect has accumulated a lot of wealth by smuggling wetland spirit medicine abroad.
Brewing this shopping center certainly wasn't a small expenditure.
Fortunately, this rabble's attack power is indeed weak.
Although they're First-Grade, all were injured, so their attack mechanism is even weaker.
Moreover, this group's Gang Qi discharge is very sluggish, brewing speed is also slow.
Though their combined vigorous fist can barely be considered a Second-Grade strike, it is far from ideal in effect.
The vigorous fist shot out by Su Yue can just barely counteract.
But this also isn't much of a solution.
