Chapter 285 The Hong Kong Gold Robbery
"Calling headquarters, this is Hyacinth, we are in position."
The main entrance of the Central Bank of the port city was crowded with fully armed Hero Association vehicles and barriers.
The roads were completely blocked, with sentries and firing positions set up everywhere. As soon as Xin Yuehu showed her face, a barrage of bullets would immediately rain down on her.
Hyacinth stood beside a hastily deployed infantry fighting vehicle, holding the SCAR heavy assault rifle she had traded for from Nightingale, her eyes fixed on the empty bank lobby and entrance.
Nightingale herself stood on the gun mount of the infantry fighting vehicle, wearing a sturdy bulletproof helmet, looking relaxed, and even yawning out of boredom.
The retired infantry fighting vehicle, equipped with a 30mm autocannon, represents the strongest firepower that the Hero Association can currently mobilize.
For the heroes fighting crime, the 30mm machine gun is more than enough to deal with all criminals; nothing can survive its firepower.
With the magical girls enhancing the magic bullets, even a Hellcat-level defense would have to think twice before using this machine gun.
"Headquarters received, sniper support is ready."
The one who responded was red zircon.
Wrapped in bandages, she and Zi Yingshi lay prone at a sniper position not far away, blocking all the side doors and window entrances of the bank building, ensuring that they could spot Xin Yuehu the moment she jumped out of the window to escape.
"Are you feeling alright, Red Zircon?" Hyacinth asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong."
Red Zircon said with a laugh over the radio.
"Besides, Ziyingshi will be very uncomfortable without my observation, so let's take care of the sniping!"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After ending the radio communication, Hyacinth glanced back at the iris standing not far away next to Bai Lili, pursed her lips, and still couldn't ease the tension in her heart.
Why am I nervous?
This time, he came fully prepared, with the strong support of the Hero Association, including firepower support at the level of infantry fighting vehicles.
Not to mention the firepower of Bai Lili and her group. With the experience of these veteran firepower-type magical girls, suppressing Xin Yuehu and the other three at mid-to-long range is a piece of cake!
Even so, I still felt nervous inside.
"Hyacinth, you're too nervous."
Sitting on the gun mount, Nightingale looked down at Hyacinth beside the car, adjusted her ill-fitting bulletproof helmet, and said to her.
"We have machine guns, while Xin Yuehu and the others only have light weapons. No matter what, they can't fight us head-on."
"I think so too, but..."
Hyacinth murmured to herself, unconsciously gripping her assault rifle tighter, a strong sense of unease always creeping into her heart as she looked towards the bank entrance.
Why is that?
What am I worried about?
Xin Yuehu and the others must get out through this gate! She has no way to escape!
"Ding-dong—"
An elevator bell rang in the lobby.
Everyone immediately tensed up. Iris, who was chatting with Lily, also immediately raised her automatic rifle and pointed it at the vault elevator that was displaying the upward indicator.
"All units, prepare! The target is inside the elevator! Get ready to intercept!"
Nightingale was the most nervous, gripping the machine gun handle tightly.
She is currently the strongest firepower in the team. If anyone is capable of taking down Xin Yuehu and her three companions with a single burst of magic bullets, it is none other than her.
Six underground floors.
Five underground floors.
The elevator slowly ascended.
Hyacinth's heart was pounding in her throat, and she could even feel fine beads of sweat forming on her palms.
Xin Yuehu and the others are about to appear.
Why did they attack the bank vault? What were their motives?
Two underground floors.
basement one.
"Ding-dong~"
The elevator bell rang.
All weapons were disarmed, and magic bullets were loaded.
Nightingale pulled the breechblock, loading the first magic shell of the ammunition belt into the barrel.
Ziyingshi, positioned at the sniper's point, also chambered a .408 caliber magic bullet into the M200 heavy sniper rifle and gently pressed the trigger.
A brief silence.
But just before the elevator doors opened, two metal cylinders were suddenly thrown out from the crack in the doors, exploding into a thick cloud of smoke in the lobby! Instantly obscuring everyone's view!
"Open fire! Suppress them with firepower!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Hyacinth immediately gave the order to fire.
Several automatic rifles unleashed a barrage of magical bullets with various colored trajectories, weaving a dense rainbow of bullets, the sound of gunfire echoing throughout the entire financial district.
But the next moment, when the machine guns opened fire, the firepower of all the automatic rifles seemed to turn into music playing on a toy:
"Clang clang clang clang!!!"
The 30mm autocannon on top of the infantry fighting vehicle began to unleash its firepower.
Nightingale gripped the machine gun handles tightly with both hands, using the base to reduce most of the recoil, and focused all her attention on firing into the smoke screen.
Smoke screen? Obstructed view?
No matter what schemes or escape plans Xin Yuehu has, we just need to deal with them with firepower!
"Clang clang clang clang—whoosh!!"
A chain of magical bullets has been unleashed.
The machine gun temporarily ceased fire, and Nightingale immediately began loading a new ammunition belt onto it.
The gunfire from the rifles ceased for a moment as everyone looked at the thin smoke billowing through the hall from the machine gun fire, and at the bank lobby shrouded in darkness from the lack of light.
"...Is it resolved?"
Hyacinth, filled with doubt, whispered.
I hope that the firepower just now didn't injure them.
But when she thought about how they hadn't held back at all when they beat her up, Hyacinth wished she could unleash a whole magazine of magic bullets on that stinky fox.
"They should have been defeated by now, there's been no movement inside," Bai Lili said.
Even this veteran firepower magic girl was still quite surprised by the machine gun fire that Nightingale had just unleashed with magical bullets.
……However.
Just when everyone thought that Xin Yuehu had been defeated by machine gun fire, two bright lights suddenly lit up from inside the hall!
"!!!"
Hyacinth raised her automatic rifle again.
But immediately after the bright light, the deafening roar of an engine starting up echoed through the hall.
"What...what's that noise...?"
Bai Lili looked at the two large lights piercing through the smoke in horror.
The black cannon barrel pierced through the smoke and emerged from behind.
Next up is the explosive reactive armor painted in urban camouflage on the front of the vehicle, the tightly sealed reactive armor on the turret, and the golden-haired fox girl peeking half her head out of the commander's cupola.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
Even Nightingale, who was about to pull the trigger of the machine gun, and Amethyst, who was at the sniper position, froze, staring blankly at the steel behemoth that seemed almost impossible to appear at such a robbery scene:
T90M, main battle tank.
The tank's headlights illuminated, like a ferocious beast returning from hell.
Its black cannon barrel slowly rotated, aiming at the infantry fighting vehicle parked at the door, and loaded a menacing shell into the breech.
"Oh no! Nightingale! Run!!!"
Without hesitation, Hyacinth abandoned her weapon, jumped onto the infantry fighting vehicle, grabbed Nightingale who was sitting on the machine gun mount, and carried her on her back. With all her might, she leaped into the air!
"—Fire."
"Crack!!!!"
The artillery opened fire.
The 125mm smoothbore tank gun spewed out dazzling flashes of fire, making the entire street gleam in its barrage.
The shell struck the decommissioned infantry fighting vehicle where Nightingale had been standing, detonating the fuse. The terrifying blast wave lifted Hyacinth and her companion, who had hastily taken cover, into the air! Along with it, countless cars that had been used to block the road were also thrown into the air!
"Boom! B ...
125mm high-explosive grenade.
With just one shot, the infantry fighting vehicle was completely destroyed. Hyacinth, having done her best to protect the nightingale in front of her, fell hard on her backside into the green belt, getting covered in dust.
"Ptooey! Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey... Nightingale, are you alright?!"
"I'm fine! My arms and legs are all good!"
Before the two could confirm the situation of their remaining companions, the roar of the engine had not yet stopped.
On the open ground cleared by the exploding grenades, the T90M, like a steel behemoth, crushed any car obstacles that dared to block its way and sped away towards the end of the road.
The fox girl, who had only half her head peeking out of the tower, waved to the crowd.
Goodbye, Miss Hyacinth!
"I'll take the gold from Hong Kong City Bank!"
Amplified by magic, the engine roared and accelerated the tank to a terrifying speed like a sports car, speeding away amidst the stunned expressions of the magical girls.
A grand escape!
