Everyone was caught by surprise.by an unexpected event.
A chaotic crowd surrounded a car and almost smashed it in a frenzy.
Ahead, the machine-gun strafing sounded like a hurricane.
The killing intention was furious and they were ambushed on all sides.
The sound of the first shot was like an order, which made the people living in the slum abandon their repression. As consequence, they revealed the most primitive impulses and desires.
Because of the violent obstruction provoked by these people, it became basically difficult for the convoy to move forward, just like falling into a swamp.
“Get off! Counter-attack!”
Isaac made a quick decision, “People in the rear, let’s cover Jack going away from here!”
While talking, he took the lead in opening the car door and kicked the attacker in front of him.
Isaac acted like a god of war, fighting with fists and feet, he abruptly created an almost two- meters diameter blank space in the violent crowd.
Everybody looked at him scared, no one dared to step forward.
Taking advantage of this moment, the members of the Grand Freemasons in the rear car quickly followed up and occupied on the space made by Isaac, squeezing the crowd to retreat.
“Jack! Retreat!”
Isaac was pale-faced, turned round to pull Jack out of the car, and then put him on his back, with the protection of the members of the Grand Freemasons, they ran towards the alley.
Jack, lying on Isaac’s back, turned his head looking at the front of the convoy.
At that moment, a dozen cars were parked in front of the convoy, and the way was about to be completely blocked.
A heavy machine gun mounted on one of the vehicles shooting at them fiercely, which created a suppressive fire.
The people who were inside the other vehicles got off from the cars handling their weapons and rallied in that direction.
Carlos Juan Yales, led a multitude of Grand Freemasons’ members, started to fight back, flame and gunfire explosions were filled in the air.
It was just like a street gun battle in a movie.
People were falling one after another, and there were cries of pain and laments everywhere.
Even if the Grand Freemasons’ members didn’t mean to hurt the people around them, they just tried their best to resist the suppressive fire of the murders who tried to kill them.
However, the killers didn’t care about this, they just kept along with their ferocious firepower trying to kill them, just like bloodthirsty demons reaping human lives.
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way if you don’t want to die!”, Isaacshouted, his face almost distorted with rage. Looking around all that flow of people blinded by greed, he gnashed his teeth with anger.
Those people were risking their life just for money!
A large crowd was gathering; however, it was almost impossible for the members of the Grand Freemasons to quickly find a way out in such a short time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Intensive gunshots echoed over the slums.
Under the leadership of Carlos, the Grand Freemasons’ members reached a stalemate with the killers.
Obviously, when heavy weapons were prevalent in creating a suppressive fire, everyone was sure that the members of Grand Freemasons could only strain to keep up with this situation but actually, they were at a disadvantage, and they were defeated soon.
“Retreat, Retreat!”
Facing the killers who were coming as a crushing blow, Carlos’ face looked fierce.
While retreating slowly, he took the Grand Freemasons’ members with him and kept fighting back.
But….
Whoosh!
There was a sudden whistle in the air.
A long spark flied through the sky and landed on one of the cars of the convoy.
Boom!
A car instantly turned into a mushroom cloud of flames and rose into the sky.
“Cannonball!”
Carlos said frightenedly, looking back at that mushroom cloud rising up.
At this time, even Carlos, his heart palpitated and his blood froze, despite he had been experienced so many fights.
On the other side, Jack and Isaac also stopped.
Looking at the rising mushroom cloud, they were terrified.
Heavy weapons…A lot of!
Dada dada…
The intensive blasting sound broke the short silence.
Isaac was about to lift his leg, but Jack murmured, “The crowd is too violent and we can’t run away at once. If we don’t kill those with heavy weapons, we’ll soon be defeated, and we won’t even have the opportunity to catch the head!”
