Chapter 723: Look What Else We’ve Found

Chapter 723: Look What Else We’ve Found


Instructor Harry hadn’t gone far, but several guys in uniform were faster.


They ran out of a side street, turned a corner, and ran the last few meters to the police car. They opened the door and crawled in.


Instructor Harry stopped and shouted, “Mahoney, George, Ravel, what are you doing?”


“Instructor, get in,” George Martin said.


On the other side, Mahoney said, “Princ.i.p.al, we have to retreat. We can’t hold on anymore.”


Princ.i.p.al La.s.sad was stumped. “What’s wrong?”


Mahoney: “Princ.i.p.al, look in the rearview mirror.”


The princ.i.p.al looked in the rearview mirror and saw a huge crowd appearing from around the corner.


“Holy sh*t!” Old man La.s.sad was suddenly very lively, and his hands moved quickly. Putting the car into gear, he reversed and swung around before he disappeared at the next intersection.


Instructor Harry’s helpless hands froze in the air as he stared blankly at the police car that had disappeared swiftly around the corner. For a moment, he was speechless.


Footsteps rang out and a group of people surrounded him again. “Wow, look what we found. A lieutenant? What a big officer.”


Luke and Selina rolled their eyes.


Princ.i.p.al La.s.sad wasn’t loyal and the students couldn’t be bothered with Instructor Harry anymore.


Instructor Harry was an eyesore in the police school. n.o.body wanted to die for him while running for their lives.


This time, Luke didn’t bother to say anything.


There had been too few of them earlier, and they could be taken care of with just a few threats. Now, there were at least a hundred thugs, who might not be intimidated by rifles.


“Let’s go. I’ll use tear gas grenades, and you can shoot two stun grenades in between,” he said to Selina.


Luke and Selina walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk. They took out two big guns: M79 grenade launchers.


Both of them loaded their ammo. Luke was slightly faster and fired two tear gas grenades.


Two b.a.l.l.s of smoke suddenly exploded at the intersection dozens of meters away. The aggressive thugs were stunned and quickly fell into chaos. Coughing and screams came out of the smoke.


A moment later, Selina pulled the trigger.


Bang!


A stun grenade landed near Instructor Harry, and he and a group of thugs were instantly laid flat.


Luke used two more tear gas grenades to drive the crowd away.


After observing for a moment, Selina fired a second stun grenade and took down a small group of people who were trying to incite the crowd.


The main force collapsed, and without them, the instigators finally dispersed.


“We’re done. I’ll bring Harry out.” Luke threw the M79 into the car and jogged over.


A moment later, he dragged out Instructor Harry, who was in a semi-conscious state and still had tears on his face, and threw him into the backseat. “Let’s go. Gold Nugget, don’t lick him, or I’ll cut your snacks for tomorrow.”


Gold Nugget, who was sitting in the backseat, looked at him disdainfully. Who would lick such a smelly and sh*tty fellow?


Selina picked up the walkie-talkie and reported to the main desk that thugs had gathered here.


The people who had gathered were no longer just gangsters; many of them were poor people who were messing around.


It was the traditional group show in Los Angeles: a riot.


In a situation like this, many ordinary people who were dissatisfied with their lives would be fired up by the chaos and go on a wanton rampage.


There wasn’t much the police department could do.


Once a large-scale riot broke out, easily hundreds of thousands of people would be involved.


Traffic in the city was still a pain, and the thousands of police officers on duty couldn’t gather enough strength to deal with such a large-scale riot.


Luke wasn’t in a hurry.


He simply told Selina to drive home.


On the way, he ran into Princ.i.p.al La.s.sad, who had escaped two blocks away. He stopped them and threw Instructor Harry, who had recovered slightly, into La.s.sad’s car.


They could only take Instructor Harry as they ran since Luke was still on duty.


After chucking out Instructor Harry, who was a hindrance, Luke and Selina were immediately a lot more efficient.


In the meantime, they went back home. Luke went to the bas.e.m.e.nt and brought out a few boxes of tear gas grenades. They took up half the backseat of the car.


Selina was stunned. “When did you get so many tear gas grenades?”


Luke chuckled. “After talking to Lawrence, I started making preparations.”


Selina shook her head and sighed. “I need to tell the police department to remember to wear gas masks. You’ll be was.h.i.+ng all the main streets of Los Angeles with this.”


Luke denied it. “You’re exaggerating…”


Noticing the disdain in the eyes of the woman and the dog, Luke coughed and said, “It’s only enough to clean up the two most chaotic areas in the southeast once or twice.”


Selina chuckled. “Right. That’s only two-fifths of Los Angeles – not exaggerated at all.”


After that, Selina provided intelligence via the drones, and Luke drove around the southeast district.


He didn’t get out of the car when he ran into a bunch of thugs. He simply shot a few tear gas grenades through the open window to break up the situation.


Ever since the incident in Boom Town, Arizona, Luke had done some research on non-lethal weapons.


His own tear gas grenades covered a wider range and were more durable and effective.


Since he knew that an earthquake was coming, he had naturally put a huge bunch of the grenades in the trunk, along with a handful of stun grenades.


Stun grenades could be used in certain situations.


For example, when Instructor Harry had been surrounded just now, taking all of them down before he pulled Instructor Harry out was the best way to prevent the thugs from dealing a few blows to Instructor Harry before they ran away.


Most of the riots happened in areas where jobless people gathered. Most of the partic.i.p.ants weren’t professional criminals, but ordinary people who were taking the opportunity to vent.


Hive mentality and a rebellious spirit were the reasons why these ordinary people joined the riot and wreaked havoc everywhere.


Luke didn’t want to kill these ordinary people, so he could only drive them away.


His self-made tear gas lasted for a long time and was very effective. Soon, the area was filled with this powerful tear gas.


The people ran and b.u.mped into each other on the smoke-filled streets every now and then.


They had no choice but to take a detour. Naturally, some of them would leave the main force to steal and smash things.


Unorganized riots were hard to control.


It wasn’t long before the scale and frequency of the ruckus in these areas started to drop.


After all, anyone hit with Luke’s powerful tear gas would be crying for at least half an hour, and would also feel unwell for two hours.


There would still be some fierce people who could still smash and loot places during this period, but they were definitely one-in-a-thousand m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.ts.


What Luke didn’t know was that at that very moment, little monkey Claire was currently experiencing the first “magical journey” of her life.
