Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 274 - 144: Forest Capture

Seeing that the other party had logical capabilities, Wu Kang began to speed up his speech and increased the number of questions.

The woman in yellow covered her temples, thinking carefully, her face suddenly becoming extremely terrified.

"I remembered, it seemed like someone covered our mouths from behind, then I just..."

"Tianhu Mountain Police Station, this is Ningzhou SWAT officer Gu Ji. I want to supplement the details of a missing person case. A missing female was found at the scene, claiming to have been drugged unconscious; suspected of being kidnapped by a gang. The number of suspects is more than two, weapons unknown. Please evacuate tourists immediately and seal off the passageways outside the Western Mountain area!"

While the woman in yellow was telling her situation, Gu Ji immediately dialed the emergency number, indicating the severity of the matter.

Beside him, Zeng Dan also took out his phone, contacting someone.

At this time, Gu Ji received a call waiting notification—it was Zhao Hua!

He was just about to switch over when Gao Bo's phone rang simultaneously.

The two of them pressed the answer buttons at the same time, with Zhao Hua's and Chen Zhiyu's voices coming through the receivers:

"Suspects spotted! Three in total, heading west with a buzz-cut blond man, at a distance of 730 meters. Suspect characteristics: two fat, one thin, all wearing dark coats, short hair. They've spotted my drone, and the suspects are hiding..."

"The drone is down! It was shot down remotely, silently. They probably have high-poundage bow and arrow equipment!"

Zhao Hua spoke very fast, but the information was clear. No wonder he was the technician in charge of intelligence with the municipal bureau team.

Gu Ji raised an eyebrow, his gaze suddenly cold.

"They have crossbows!"

"Crossbows?"

Wu Kang's expression changed. According to the assessment of police risk levels, the other party carrying mechanical weapons posed a potential threat to police or public safety at any time, categorized as a level three danger, which should correspond to weapon control in terms of police force usage.

But they were out on a trip. Let alone weapons, they didn't even have a decent knife on them.

Here, Liu Weijun had the most combat experience. He immediately judged.

"We can't fight head-on. We need to find a way to narrow the encirclement. Inform the police station of the suspects' weapons immediately and stall until police support arrives! Zhou Yang, give me your backpack!"

"Monk, what are you going to do? You don't think a mere table board can block it, do you? Zhao Hua said it was a high-poundage crossbow. Once the arrow speed exceeds a hundred meters per second, it could penetrate a 3mm steel plate within 50 meters!"

Zhou Yang's backpack contained everyone's backup camping portable table board.

These portable table boards were made from chipboard pressed from wood chips. Forget a heavy crossbow, an average person could kick it apart with a bit of force.

As a sniper in the SWAT assault team, Zhou Yang had specifically trained in heavy crossbow sniping.

Never underestimate the power and lethality of cold weapons. A modern compound crossbow equipped with a sight could reach 500 FPS arrow speed and nearly 300 Joules of kinetic energy, capable of piercing Kevlar fiber composite helmets that meet the United States protection standards within 50 meters, exceeding the lethality of a pistol equipped with a soft-core bullet.

"But we can't just be sitting ducks for the suspects!"

Liu Weijun glared, grabbed Zhou Yang's backpack, took off his coat to stuff inside, and scooped up a bunch of soil to fill it up like a small sandbag.

However, this measure had limited efficacy.

The attack methods of arrows and bullets are completely different. Arrows are designed to use their mass and sharp tip to penetrate targets, while bullets are designed to transfer a large amount of energy upon impact.

So the friction from soil particles and the tiny air gap between them can excellently dissipate a bullet's energy, converting it to sound and heat. But arrows, with greater mass and exceptionally sharp tips, can easily slice through sandbags. Their flexible shafts with tensile strength and length can prevent arrows from deflecting within the sand, allowing the arrowhead to pass linearly through the sand.

This just highlights Liu Weijun's courageous spirit in critical moments.

Mind you, in previous real-world exercises at Xiangzhou, Gao Bo was the number one sentinel, always walking at the most dangerous forefront of the team.

Yet real battles are different from exercises.

At any time, you can be injured, or even lose your life!

As the oldest member of the small team and a member of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team, both privately and officially, Liu Weijun couldn't let rookies like Gao Bo, Gu Ji, and Wu Kang, who had only been on the force for a few months, take the lead.

"Monk is right. We are unarmed and can't control the situation. We need to stall. Gu Ji just asked the police station to block the mountain pass. The suspects can't escape the island. I've also notified nearby national security personnel, who are estimated to arrive in 20 minutes!"

Zeng Dan, as a veteran in national security, also actively tried to calm everyone down, mainly targeting Wu Kang and Gao Bo.

As for Gu Ji...

To be honest, during the last operation to capture Shao Liang, she personally witnessed this probationary SWAT member's on-site command ability.

From the time the missing case occurred until now, Gu Ji's performance could truly be described as "calm and composed," like a test-taker who had taken many exams, from investigating the scene to locking onto suspicious points, then reporting, directing the chase, blockade, and seeking support, he essentially showcased almost everything a non-frontline officer could achieve.

Don't underestimate this description.

Many police and security officers cannot maintain calm at a crime scene, including many veteran officers who become more nervous due to past stress responses.
