My Wife is a Counsel

Chapter 769: Refugee Slums (Part 2)

As they went down floor by floor, the sacks the men carried became smaller and smaller.

We arrived at the 66th floor, where the glass was the most severely damaged. The wind was very strong in the corridor, and if we got close to the glass windows, it felt like we were walking on the edge of a cliff.

Lu Ming walked on the other side of Bridget, closer to the glass window.

"Do you have any good ideas? About investing in a project that specifically recruits Gede people?" Bridget asked suddenly.

Lu Ming said: "I have some ideas, let's discuss them later."

Bridget nodded gently, "You must have a lot of ideas. You came to the Gaide area to bring millions of Gaidens back into the mainstream of society. In fact, it is to shake the foundation of the Rose Party here. The Gaidens hate the Rose Party the most. When they return to society, the Rose Party will have a series of troubles. Maybe the first thing will be lawsuits. Many Gaidens will file complaints." She turned to look at Lu Ming, "Have you ever thought that this will cause an irreparable rift in the social class of the United Kingdom? It will become the biggest problem of the United Kingdom, not just the problem of the Rose Party itself."

Lu Ming was silent and walked slowly. At the turn of the corridor in front was the entrance to the more densely populated residential area on this floor. The original luxurious duplex apartment structure had been dismantled beyond recognition. The inside was like a maze, and a group of ragged men and women soon surrounded him.

"So, what do you think?" Lu Ming asked.

Bridget looked at these men and women who were like stray animals with her deep blue eyes and shook her head, "I don't know, but this one million was originally raised for them."

At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart, and almost as a conditioned reflex, he pulled Bridget to the side.

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the sniper bullet almost flew past Lu Ming's ear.

At the same time, a black object flew out from the crowd of homeless people.

There was a loud "bang", followed by screams and cries, and then the sound of rapid-fire weapons.

Lu Ming dragged Bridget to hide in a corner behind a low wall, which should be the place under the kitchen stove in the past. There was also a broken concrete platform above their heads.

"Bang, bang, bang", the sound of pistols, the security personnel launched a counterattack, but were obviously completely suppressed by the other side's firepower.

Not far from Lu Ming's feet was the bloody corpse of a burly man. In a half-empty sack next to him, a hamburger had fallen into a pool of blood.

No one would have thought that they would be attacked with heavy weapons here. The security personnel were only preventing refugee riots and were carrying short weapons such as pistols.

Lu Ming knew instantly that this attack was aimed at him.

Sniper rifles, heavy weapons with bursts of fire, grenades.

Even if the other party is not a professional killer, he is a special killing machine in the gang.

It is obvious that he has been paying attention to the situation in the Gaston Building. The homeless people living on the upper floors know that he will come around every now and then, and many homeless people will go out to beg for food. It is not difficult for him to find out this information if he wants to deal with his people. That's why he disguised himself as a homeless person and sneaked in to wait for him. Maybe he has been there for a few days.

It is also impossible to issue documents or conduct body searches to check the entry and exit of refugees living on high floors.

These thoughts flashed through Lu Ming's mind, and he quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist and glanced at Bridget who was sitting next to him.

Bridget's pretty face was pale and she was breathing rapidly.

"Are you not hurt?" Lu Ming asked. He immediately ruled out the possibility that it was someone she had arranged. The grenade flying over would cause indiscriminate damage.

Bridget shook her head slightly, "No."

Lu Ming patted her hands and said, "It's okay, don't worry, just hide here!" He then shouted, "Everyone, find cover, don't fight hard! Our people will be here soon!"

At this time, the chaotic screams outside had decreased. Many of the refugees who were shot should have been killed, and the rest had hidden themselves.

"Da da da", the sound of rapid-fire weapons was getting closer and closer. Apparently hearing Lu Ming's shouts, the killers slowly approached.

"Bang bang", not far ahead, the sound of pistols stopped abruptly. Naturally, a security guard in front suddenly jumped out from his hiding position and exchanged fire with the gunman, and was soon shot into a sieve by the opponent's powerful firepower.

"Don't move..." Lu Ming whispered to Bridget.

It was Bridget who was slowly taking out her red high-heeled shoes, and then Lu Ming realized that she wanted to hook the pistol that was guarding the corpse not far away.

"There is a sniper..." Lu Ming explained while quickly pulling her legs back by her knees.

"Show your identity and run quickly. No one should shoot you." Lu Ming whispered.

It is easy to imagine that the other party is not only a professional killer hired by the Rose Party dignitaries, but also a gangster with close ties with the Rose Party.

It is more likely that he was a gang's killing machine or a professional killer hired by the gang, and he might be furious because his drug channels were blocked.

However, they were too bold. Their target was not Jacob, but to get rid of him directly. Naturally, they were used to lawlessness here and did not consider the seriousness of the problem at all.

Over there, listening to Lu Ming's words, Bridget shook her head and said, "I don't want to escape in such a miserable way." She glanced at Lu Ming and said, "If you died today and knew this in advance, what would you want to do most?"

Lu Ming was speechless. He didn't bother to pay attention to the inexplicable thoughts of this spoiled lady at the critical moment of life and death. Although he kept speaking in a low voice, he was listening to the footsteps coming closer and closer.

"They are at a good angle to throw grenades in!" As he spoke, Lu Ming suddenly stood up and ran out, firing from the pistol in his hand.

There were four burly men about twenty or thirty steps away. Two of them took turns firing their weapons to suppress the attack, while the other two were groping for grenades. One of them had just pulled the safety pin, and almost all of Lu Ming's magazine's bullets hit the two men holding grenades.

The man who had pulled the safety pin of the grenade was still trying to throw it out, but after being shot several times, he quickly lost all his strength. The grenade fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and exploded with a loud bang.

One of the two men holding submachine guns had already quickly thrown himself to the side and lay down, while the other had been firing at Lu Ming's figure. After the "boom" explosion, he staggered back two steps and fell to the ground with a thump and no sound. He must have been unlucky, as the grenade fragments exploded into his vitals, killing him on the spot.

Lu Ming had already run to the other side of the concrete pillar. His left arm was grazed by a bullet and blood was slowly oozing out.

Slowly replace the magazine.

The most threatening sniper rifle, Lu Ming had already seen the direction while running and shooting just now, but the distance was too far. Even if he had the so-called sword energy ability, it was only within the range of a pistol, and he had no way to do anything to the opponent.

Now, the sniper rifle should be aimed firmly at this pillar, and any slight movement will put you in the opponent's sight.

"Ah, Jack, Jack!" The roar came from the gunman who was not hit by the grenade. He was a close friend of one of his companions and was extremely sad and angry at the moment.

Lu Ming took off his coat and threw it outside, then rushed out suddenly, running to the side and front, firing a few shots. The big man who was holding up the assault rifle and ready to fight immediately had several bloody holes in his chest and fell backwards.

Lu Ming had already run to the room in the front left, and then he went through each window. The sniper rifle's position in the building on this side was a blind spot.

In fact, he had been shot in the right shoulder when he ran out just now. The sniper was an extremely powerful character, and the clothes thrown out did not attract his attention.

Fortunately, as long as I don't get shot or blown to pieces by a shell, it won't affect my movements. But now I can't block out the pain of being shot, it really hurts.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and jumped from one window to another. He was so fast that the homeless man hiding inside thought it was an illusion. His eyes blurred and a black shadow rushed past him.

"Bang!" Lu Ming slowly put down the pistol.

The buildings here are all split-level structures. A sniper who was quickly putting away his sniper rifle and putting it into a wooden box on the second-floor concrete slab and preparing to change position was suddenly shot in the back of the head. He fell to the ground without a sound and was silent since then.

Probably at the moment he was shot, he would not have thought that the prey he was hunting could appear behind him so quickly.
