"Report position!" Kai held the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator to speed up. With the roar of the engine, the speed instantly soared to 1. Even Matthew, who didn't care about his life, grabbed the seat belt in fear.
Damn, this is the main road! There are cars on the lane. Driving like this may cause a car accident at any time!
Others were also shocked by Kai's wildness. They originally set out together, but Kai's Cobra 427 left them behind in a blink of an eye. Theresa, who was leading the team behind, cursed Kai's ancestors in her heart. She thought Kai would be a troublemaker at the beginning, but she didn't expect him to be so troublesome. He didn't listen to orders on his first day at work. She clearly said that everyone should follow her, but in a blink of an eye, Matthew and Kai ran away!
If nothing happened, it would be fine. If something happened, she, the supervisor, would definitely take the blame!
Kai waited for a long time but didn't hear any movement. He turned his head and saw Matthew with his eyes wide open, his teeth clenched, and a look of loss and shock.
"Hey! Matthew! Report position!!!"
Kai wanted to laugh when he saw Matthew's expression. He thought this guy was really not afraid of anything.
Matthew began to come back to his senses. He saw the smile on Kai's mouth and his face turned black. His intuition was very sharp. He knew that Kai was laughing at him. Although he knew that this kind of laughter was not malicious, it was just a harmless joke like friends exposing each other to deal with embarrassing things. But he was still unhappy.
But how to say it? Although Matthew likes to immerse himself in his own world, he is not an aggressive person by nature.
He is just not good at expressing himself. When he experiences changes, he closes himself even more. He will only respond to misunderstandings and malice from the outside world in a simple and rough way. This is also the reason why he always resorts to violence, because he can't explain and is unwilling to explain.
But Matthew would not overreact to such harmless teasing, so he could only snort in frustration.
"Bronzeville, near the Great Northern Immigrant Monument!"
Bronzeville is one of the few prosperous and safe areas in the South City of Chicago. After African Americans fled the oppression in the southern part of the United States in the early 20th century, many southern blacks went north to the Great Lakes region, and many of them settled in Bronzeville. There are many amazing Victorian and Romanesque buildings here, and with the emerging culture brought by blacks, there are many public art exhibitions here, such as Allison Saar's "Great Northern Immigrant Monument" and the Victory Monument.
This is the face of the entire South City of Chicago. Now a group of robbers are playing Grand Theft Auto here, completely throwing the face of the Chicago government on the ground and stepping on it. What's more terrifying is the incompetence shown by the Chicago police in this incident.
Damn it, the robbers actually ran from Archer Street in the city center to Bronzeville in the South City! This is across half of the Chicago city area! If this happened in China, senior political and legal officials, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the director of the branch bureau would all be held accountable and fired! Even the mayor and senior city officials would be criticized.
It was too serious and too bad.
"I understand, hold on tight!"
Kai looked at the navigation and stepped on the accelerator again. The Cobra 427 roared like a beast again, turned into a shadow, and rushed to the destination. → This scared a lot of pedestrians along the way. According to statistics afterwards, when they arrived at the scene, the police station received almost 230 calls, all of which reported them for dangerous driving.
…
"Hee~~~~~~ha!" Tommy Vercetti opened the car window with President Reagan's headgear, leaned his upper body out of the car, held the AK47 in his hand, screamed and fired at the sky. He loved this unbridled feeling.
Pedestrians and vehicles on the road hid when they heard the gunshots, fearing that they would be shot to death. This kind of fearful feeling made Tommy even happier.
Tommy was born in Italy. He immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was a child. When he grew up, he didn't learn well and joined the mafia. In 1991, Tommy's boss asked Tommy to go to Manhattan, New York to kill a person and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. This guy was born restless. Even if he was in prison, he would not sit in prison properly. So he didn't get a commutation for the entire fifteen years, let alone parole.
After fifteen years in prison, he found that the times outside had changed. Although the mafia he used to belong to was still there, the boss and the top leaders had all changed, and there was no place for him in the gang. His fifteen years in prison were in vain. He didn't want to start from the bottom again, so he simply left New York to start his own "career".
In addition to being in prison and making trouble, he did not do nothing in prison. After all, prisons have always been places where "talents" emerge in large numbers. He made many friends in it, including not only many gang members, but also some lone rangers with great skills.
For example, his driver Randy Custer. This guy has been in jail nine times for illegal drag racing. But to be honest, his driving skills are absolutely amazing, and the key is that he is brave. As long as he is given a car and a bottle of liquor, he dares to drag race in front of the White House.
Then Mick Rory, the Heat Wave, is a blasting expert and arsonist. This guy has mental problems and wears a thick fireproof suit even in the hot summer. But it is undeniable that this guy is definitely a genius. In the previous robberies, they were able to destroy the safe in the fastest time, all thanks to this guy.
Then came the Australian George Harkness. This guy was quite normal. He just liked money and was proficient in various weapons. Although Australians are very rude, but after all, he is the most normal person in the team.
Then there is their ‘technical advisor’ Dominica. Speaking of this black guy, Tommy himself felt amazing. Tommy had always felt that he would never have the chance to interact with those high-level intellectuals in his life. But I didn't expect that I would actually encounter one.
Dominica came to Dominica because his parents wanted the boy to remember his roots, so they named the child after their homeland. This kid also lived up to his parents' expectations. He did very well in studies since he was a child, and even got admitted to MIT when he grew up. But this kid has a quirk, that is, he likes to steal things. He is not short of money, but he just likes to steal things. As a result, he was thrown into prison because he stole too many times.
My work and life are ruined.
In prison, this boy was handsome and thin, so he became the first choice of many big guys to pick up soap. Tommy had really never done anything good in his life, but he didn't know what happened that day. By some strange combination of circumstances, he saved this kid, kept his anus, and protected him from suffering in prison.
After coming out, Tommy found this kid and wanted him to join his gang. To be honest, Tommy wasn't sure, so the boy agreed without even thinking about it. This guy is a top hacker, and he is responsible for many high-tech troubles. His only shortcoming is that his skills are very poor. Special protection is needed.
As for Tommy, he is naturally the boss, responsible for making plans, checking locations, recruiting people, etc. There are ten people in their group. Except for the above-mentioned few backbones, the others are cannon fodder. Once the operation is over, if they are not caught by the police, They will also be silenced. It is much better to share it among five people than among ten people.
In order to cultivate a tacit understanding, they had robbed several banks before, but because they were not in a big city like Chicago, the impact was not too great. Now they feel that the cooperation between them is very tacit, so they plan to make a name for themselves.
Tommy robs banks, of course, for money, but not all for money. He was willing to join the mafia and kill people for the sake of superiority, just because he wanted to make a career. However, he was unlucky and spent fifteen years in prison.
He wants to make a name for himself and become a big star that everyone knows!
It's a weird idea, but that's what he thinks.
So he was very arrogant. After the robbery plan was unexpectedly interrupted, he did not panic at all and instead started to break out according to the pre-planned plan.
When he was in prison, he met many people in the underworld, so he had plenty of guns and ammunition. The modified bus they used to escape had enough ammunition for a small war. He's not afraid of the police at all!
"Tommy! The police have surrounded you!" Dominica interrupted his boss's happy moment at this time.
"Really? Where did they come from?" Tommy didn't panic at all, but asked with interest.
"From all directions!" Dominica had hacked into the police station's communication signal a long time ago, and he could get the police's action plan in a timely manner. "But the defense in the north is relatively weak. We can break out from there."
Dominica did a few operations on the computer and could clearly see the police's deployment. The number of police officers in the north is the smallest, and because that side is close to the lakeside area, it is more prosperous and road control is difficult to complete quickly. They have time to break out from there.
"No!! We can't go from the north. That's Lake Michigan. Running from there is definitely asking for death!" Although Tommy is very arrogant, he is actually very careful and knows that running north is definitely asking for death. First of all, the northern area near the lakeside is the bustling area of Chicago, and all kinds of rich people live in the lakeside area. Although it seems that there are not many police blocking the area now, in fact, once there is real danger, the Chicago government will be the first to go berserk.
Besides, how could they run to Lake Michigan? On the water? That is even more seeking death. Other people's police can just dispatch the marine police to catch them. Moreover, when they are on the water, can they outrun the marine police's boat?
"Then where are we going?" Dominica was a little anxious. Although robbing a bank was exciting, Dominica was not willing to go to jail for it.
"Hey, don't worry, I have a way, I always have a way." Tommy has already thought of all the possibilities, so he has already thought of the escape route and method. They only need to enter the South City public housing area, where he has already planned a series of escape plans through his connections. As long as they enter there, the gangs there will cooperate with his plan to create chaos. When the time comes, they can be completely broken into pieces. Escape by using another means of transportation, and the bus and the weapons and ammunition on it will all be dealt with by the local gangs. This is one of the additional conditions.
"Let's turn, to Robert Tello!"
Robert Taylor Community is the largest public housing community in Chicago. In the 1950s, a large number of black people came to Chicago from Arkansas and Mississippi in the southern United States. The influx of large numbers of homeless people seriously threatens social stability. But white politicians in Chicago didn't want blacks to flood into their neighborhoods, so they built a new batch of public housing on Chicago's south side. The largest of these is the Robert Tello community. One characteristic of these black public housing is that it is very grand, with an extremely large number of households in each unit.
The principle of public housing is that in order to spend the least money to accommodate the most people, every unit of public housing is filled with people. For example, there are 25,000 households in the Robert Tello community, and each contract can accommodate at least 3 people. That is to say, at least 75,000 people can live in one community.
And that is also a place where the police dare not easily set foot. These complex buildings can become a strict fortress to the outside world, and provide a large number of opportunities for gang members to set up traps and secret passages inside. In addition, the people here are generally hostile to the police, and no one will tip off the police.
This is undoubtedly the best place for Tommy to escape. Once they enter there, they will be safe. As long as they change their clothes and act separately, the chance of escape is really not too high.
At this time, the sound of propellers suddenly came from the sky. Tommy immediately grabbed the hostages and came to the window of the car, letting the hostages block him, and then observed the air.
If there is anything Tommy did not do well in this operation, it is that he took too few hostages. Still, they didn't cooperate well enough. When they heard that they were discovered, they all panicked and just wanted to run away. If Tommy wasn't sober, maybe they wouldn't even have a hostage.
But it doesn't matter. A hostage is still a hostage. As long as the hostage is in hand, the Chicago police will not dare to attack. They can deal with it.
Look, in order to prevent being sniped, Tommy used the hostage as a shield.
There was a helicopter with CPD printed on it in the sky. It was obviously the police using the helicopter to chase them.
Tommy also saw a fake gun on the helicopter!
But it doesn't matter, this is also within his expectations.
"Heat Wave! Take out the stuff and teach these guys a lesson!"
"Okay!" 'Heat Wave' Mick Rory has a fascination with anything that can produce explosions and flames. As he spoke, Mick Rory moved out a polyethylene box, in which lay a FIM-92 "Stinger" anti-aircraft missile that Tommy bought from a friend on the street!
Although the Stinger is widely used in the US military, this shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile is actually famous in the hands of other countries. This missile is very simple to operate and can be launched by one person. In addition, this missile is very cheap. Since each missile only costs $30,000, it is very suitable for poor countries or guerrillas. Of course, the Stinger is not as good as the RPG, after all, the RPG is cheaper.
But the reliability and hit rate of the Stinger are still better.
This time Tommy bought a total of three warheads just to deal with this situation.
"Fire in the hole!!!"
With Mick's warning, the Stinger missile dragged a line of fire and rushed towards the helicopter in the air.
The helicopter over there also tried its best to dodge and defend. Their intention to launch the missile was too obvious. Before the missile was launched, the helicopter began to lift its nose, then turned sharply, and then the machine gun on the side began to fire. This time, thanks to the driver's superb skills and good luck. When a missile turns, it slows down more than an airplane. The helicopter dodged the first time, and when the missile turned sharply to attack again, it immediately turned sharply, allowing the missile to explode in time. (If the Stinger missile does not hit the target, it will self-destruct after reaching a flight time of 20 seconds)
But luck will not favor them at any time and place.
Mick quickly fired the second missile, but this time the helicopter had no time to dodge, and the machine gun on the side was also very unlucky and did not hit the missile.
Boom!!!
A helicopter was destroyed and people died.
That's not all. There was another helicopter following behind this helicopter, but this helicopter was even worse than the police helicopter. It was an interview helicopter of a Chicago TV station! When the police helicopter in front exploded, the interviewing reporter on the helicopter was still yelling something at the camera frantically.
This group of media did everything they could to get ratings. Even when the police helicopter was shot down, it did not return to the base and was beeping not far away, which increased the attention of the gun...
Then it was hit by a single shot!
The ratings of this TV station are expected to explode. The camera not only recorded the helicopter of the Chicago police being blown up by a missile, but also recorded himself being hit in the face by a missile...
At this time, Kai and Matthew were also about to enter the battlefield.
"Fuck, is there a war? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Looking at the two helicopter wreckages falling in front of him, Kai felt the madness of the big American city for the first time! Damn, it's just robbing a bank, is it necessary to take out the rocket launcher?
Matthew shrugged and said one more sentence: "This is Chicago! Welcome to Chicago!"
...
On the other side, some people on the robbers' side thought that this was too exaggerated.
"Fuck! You're crazy, those are just reporters!! Why did you shoot them?!!"
Australian George Harkness was indignant at Mick's behavior. This Okumura man was not as crazy as the others. He thought that it was enough to deter the police, and there was no need to kill all the reporters.
But Mick didn't care about his accusations at all. "Now they will broadcast our escape live, and then they will tell the police where we are going?"
"Can't you just shoot them to scare them?"
George thought Mick was talking nonsense. They were just reporters, not Rambo. He could just shoot them a few times to scare them. Why make such a big deal?
At this time, Tommy stood up and interrupted the quarrel between the two. Tommy could not say that he supported or opposed Mick's actions. He just felt that at this time, unity was more important than anything else.
"Stop arguing! Someone is coming up, get ready to meet the enemy!" Tommy felt that the sports car came at the right time.
