Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 331 Tragic
Directly below the law enforcement hall are Rick's workshop and the morgue. Presumably, this guy thought the rain and thunder outside were too noisy, so he deliberately turned the phonograph playing records to the maximum volume.

Even from the second floor near the atrium, you can hear the muffled sounds coming from the basement, along with that familiar melody.

Coincidentally, even Milo, who had no knowledge or appreciation of classical art, was able to recognize the choir's magnificent and imposing melody almost immediately.

Requiem - The Day of Wrath

This is a symphony that also exists in the world that Milo remembers as familiar...

The heavy, majestic drumbeats, the continuous orchestral music like a whirlwind, and the powerful chorus—what is most awe-inspiring is the strong religious atmosphere created by the combination of all these elements.

"This person knows how to pick background music."

"The weather is also very fitting."

Milo glanced at the thunder and rain outside, then at the time.

"The results should be out soon, right?"

……

Milo knew that the patrol team still harbored a sliver of hope. Well, not exactly hope, but the gist was that they still wanted to keep the situation completely under their control. There were still a dozen or twenty people slacking off in the lobby of the South City Enforcement Office, indicating that the patrol team was prepared to handle the Hunter Organization themselves. As for what specific tricks they were planning, Milo had no idea.

It's clear that the inspection team members are confident in their combat capabilities.

They didn't think the Hunter Organization was that difficult to deal with.

Perhaps they even prepared the stage and media booths in advance...

……

But look at the weather, and listen to this background music.

You can probably guess how it will end...

...

Sure enough, before the requiem was even nearing its end, the telephone rang urgently in Rebecca's office upstairs.

The call was from law enforcement headquarters.

Shortly after the call connected, Rebecca's voice came from above in the atrium:
"Everyone, reinforce the patrol team! Something's happened over there!"

...

Rick came out of the basement carrying a bowl of soup:

"What happened? What happened?"

"You'll soon have plenty of new ingredients."

Milo raised his hand and pressed him back down.

...

All four law enforcement offices in the city and the sub-district offices in the surrounding towns received orders to prepare and support the patrol team's operation as quickly as possible.

But no matter how fast the local law enforcement agencies speed up their efforts, they are destined to be unable to salvage the inspection team's crushing defeat.

As a small valley, the abandoned patient shelter was surrounded by artificial fences during the Great Plague to prevent patients from escaping, making it a place that was, to some extent, completely impassable.

The fact that a crisis could arise during a raid in such a place indicates that the patrol team suffered a complete defeat.

When Milo followed the law enforcement team to the outskirts of the city, the post-war scene there was horrific.

At this moment, Rick's requiem was still echoing in the city's law enforcement office. Milo still remembered the first line of the requiem's ​​chorus—"Lord, grant them eternal rest."

Judging from the current situation, these people will not be able to rest in peace anytime soon.

...The general environment of the abandoned patient shelter was not much different from what Milo remembered.

The only difference is that there are many more corpses here.

So much so that Milo could smell the strong stench of blood in the jungle from a great distance.

Of course, the smell of gunpowder was also present.

Two scents floated in the air, mingling with the unique vegetation of the dense forest, creating a new, complex aroma that was quite unpleasant to the nasal passages.

...

Milo saw many fresh corpses lying on the ground inside the shelter.

Judging from their clothing and weapons, they were armed personnel from the patrol team.

"Are these guys just going to charge in and die like that? Who the hell is in charge? My God, are they out of their minds?!"

At the scene, Milo encountered Charles, the chief of the West City Law Enforcement, who was standing amidst a pile of corpses, cursing and swearing.

Judging from the remaining traces of the battle, it is indeed as Charles said: the lieutenant colonel in the patrol team treated the law enforcement operation as a duel between gentlemen, ordering his men to break into the internment camp in the most reckless way.

Then, right at the entrance to the shelter, they must have encountered some terrible ambush.

Because in the area at the entrance, which is only two or three meters wide, there are piles of the severed limbs of no fewer than five people.

Each person in the scene is cut into dozens of pieces, and the level of gore is enough to make one want to vomit.

It was clearly caused by the hunters' barbed wire traps.

……

This was the closest the patrol team had ever come to the hunters; the deepest they had ever entered the containment facility was the distance at which one of their fingers could have rolled in.

Milo saw bullet holes in the rotting wooden barriers around him, as well as broken branches and leaves on the surrounding plants. Clearly, the hunters had made an easy breakthrough.

Moreover, it represents a breakthrough in multiple areas.

The main battle did not even break out inside the containment facility, but on the hillside outside the facility.

Milo circled around and quickly found many wounded people outside the shelter.

This included Colin from the Chengxi Law Enforcement Office.

He was shot in the thigh, but fortunately the bullet did not penetrate an artery, only temporarily rendering him unable to move. Paramedics who arrived at the scene are now treating his wound to stop the bleeding.

As the disinfectant alcohol was applied to the tear caused by the bullet, Colin gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a grimace, and cursed the armed men from the army in the inspection team.
"Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! Those scumbags, trash! The outer perimeter isn't even closed yet, and they're rushing in like they're on drugs, ready to die! Damn! Idiots!"

There are quite a few people like Colin who vehemently curse the patrol team's armed forces; they are mostly people within the law enforcement system.

Clearly, the lieutenant colonel, eager to make a name for himself, ignored the instructions of the officers present and launched his operation ahead of schedule, which resulted in a counterattack from the hunters before the encirclement was even formed.

The ending can be imagined.

Milo knew very well the overall combat level of these hunters, and how could the patrol team and the law enforcement team, with their abysmal cooperation, possibly stop them?

He saw a huge gap in the wooden barrier behind Colin, as if it had been hit by a train, and the supporting wooden stakes had all crumbled.

Then, there was a clear trail of movement extending from the gap into the depths of the jungle.

With just one glance, Milo could tell that this was a hybrid's escape route.

Colin seems to be lucky, because he was shot while retreating and was unable to pursue in that direction.
