Chapter 113: Into the Tiger’s Den [Six updates for monthly votes]
There was a group of individuals in the abandoned building, and the exact number was unclear to the police. However, there were hostages among them, as cries of children were heard from inside, indicating the presence of kids.
When Ember Vance arrived at the scene, the police were negotiating with the criminals and devising a rescue plan.
However, at that time, the criminals also made a demand, requesting the police to send in medical supplies like bandages, suggesting that someone among them was injured.
During the negotiations, the criminals insisted that the woman who had just arrived should deliver the medical supplies.
Thus, Ember Vance was appointed the task amid danger and without hesitation, she was to venture deep into the enemy’s lair!
She entered the building and quickly disappeared from the police’s view.
Ember Vance didn’t carry a gun because she was certain to be searched by the criminals; she didn’t even bring any radio equipment. The mission given to her by her superiors was to ascertain the number of criminals and hostages inside, while also paying close attention to her own safety.
Due to its unfinished construction, the abandoned building was complex, with interconnected floors and half-built staircases.
Just as Ember Vance stepped onto the staircase of the second floor, someone suddenly jumped out from a corner, pressing a gun directly against her forehead.
"Whoosh—" Ember Vance’s body hairs stood on end, and a chill ran through her entire body. At that moment, she finally understood what it felt like to have a gun pressed to her forehead—a feeling of terror, of death looming at any second.
