The lack of electricity makes the place extremely dark, but this is not a problem for Joel and the police officers who have holographic glasses.
Although the visual assistance system of police holographic glasses is not as good as military use, it can at least allow police officers to see the situation clearly.
As for the Lyon model, it has motion capture and other functions. It is an internal model that Umbrella does not sell to the outside world, so the view is clearer.
Because of this, Leon could clearly see a large number of unknown symbols painted with dark red marks on the glass windows of the shops inside the mall.
The smell is like rust, and the paint that represents the graffiti symbols is blood... human blood.
Joel and the other police officers couldn't see clearly, but they could smell it.
This made everyone understand that the believer's previous words of "not hurting the hostages" were completely deceiving the local police in Ojai.
The group of people passed through the side door on the east side of the shopping mall, arrived at the center of the shopping mall, divided into four teams, and headed towards the escalator that had stopped working, covering each other.
"Come for the leader!"
"Hell! Welcome to hell!"
"Kill all humans who dare to stand in the way!"
Suddenly, a group of shouting believers armed with 5.56mm or .308 caliber firearms rushed into everyone's sight.
These guys are wearing thin clothes, and each of them has strong muscles that can hold up their clothes, and their skin tends to be the color of red clay.
What surprised the police officers the most was that the believers’ eyes were still glowing with a faint red light.
What are these?!
The police officers who originally dealt with criminals were shocked and surprised after seeing phenomena far beyond their comprehension through holographic glasses, even Joel.
Leon, who was used to seeing abnormalities, was not affected in any way.
"They are no longer human!"
While Lyon loudly reminded the police officers, he used the holographic glasses to calibrate the shooting. After locking the muzzle of the gun on one of the cultists, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang!" The unique sound of gunfire.
"Puff! Puff!" The warhead immediately hit the cultist.
If an ordinary human being was attacked by MA5D, he would have died long ago.
However, the cultist resisted several shots, and when his left eye was shot out, he tried to find a bunker to escape, but in the end he couldn't withstand the blow and collapsed to the ground, unable to stop his body.
Twitching.
The believers did not expect that the police officers had "night vision devices", so they stopped shouting and immediately evaded them.
At the same time as the above moment happened.
Joel and the police officers also recovered. And as police officers near Los Angeles, they naturally will not abide by the principle that only the suspect attacks first before he can fight back and subdue him.
After seeing Lyon shooting and attacking, and seeing that the physique of the believers was far beyond ordinary people, they began to cooperate with each other, using their rich experience and advanced equipment and weapons to assist Lyon in dealing with the obviously abnormal believers.
"Papa!"
"Bang bang!"
In an instant, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.
The floor tiles, walls and shop windows of the shopping mall were all damaged due to the crossfire between the two sides, and the scene became a mess.
Soon, the situation became clear.
There were seven cultists who came to stop Lyon and the police, and one of them was killed by Lyon first. There was no numerical advantage, and the same was true for weapons and equipment.
MA5D also uses 5.56mm caliber FMJ bullets with a magazine capacity of 45. Its electronic components and auxiliary calibration system cooperate to allow police officers to form absolute fire suppression.
The police officers in the small town of Ojai were suppressed by the cultists' automatic firepower and a light machine gun. The main reason was that the equipment and firepower could not keep up.
Let’s not mention Leon’s combat qualities for the moment. Although the police officers of Joel and Oxnard are far less elite than the Green Berets or Rangers, they are not comparable to the “gun-carrying civilians” like the cultists.<
/p>
The brief exchange of fire that lasted less than half a minute ended with Lyon and the police advancing slowly and steadily toward the escalator.
When he was about to pass by the bodies of the seven believers, Leon reminded: "Don't forget to refill these guys' guns."
"Bang! Bang!"
As he spoke, Leon pulled the trigger twice on the head and left chest of one of the cultist corpses.
"Bang! Bang!" Joel immediately shot again.
The police officers shrugged at each other and fired again at the corpses.
Passing by a corpse.
Approach the escalator.
The guy driving the pickup truck, Leon, and two other colleagues stepped onto the escalator first and approached the second floor of the mall.
As they walked upwards, everyone could still clearly hear the gunshots coming from the second floor and the upper floors, indicating that the police officers in the south of the mall were still strong, sharing a lot of pressure for Lyon and the others.
Come to the platform hall on the second floor.
Lyon and three other police officers discovered that there were several torches burning open flames on the second floor to provide lighting, and not only the shop windows, but also dense blood-stained runes were painted on the floor.
The runes also emit red light.
Seeing this, the three police officers who went ahead with Leon improved their ability to accept abnormalities and did not show too much confusion or hesitation.
Joel and the remaining police officers passed the escalator, met up with the four Lyons, and continued moving forward. However, they did not go far when they encountered a counterattack from a large number of believers.
A fierce battle broke out between the two engines.
Those believers whose bodies have mutated have realized that well-equipped police officers such as Leon and Joel are the real threats to them.
"The ceremony was disrupted by these humans! Destroy them!!"
"We can't let them prevent the arrival of the leader!!"
"Go to hell! Humanity! Go to hell!"
Having abandoned their human identity, they screamed crazily and rushed towards the police officers without fear.
"Pfft!"
"Ah!"
The guy who was driving the pickup truck was squatting half-crouched not far from Lyon. His left forearm was suddenly broken and he was screaming in pain. He immediately lost the ability to move and fight and fell to the ground.
The believers have either 5.56mm, 7.62mm or .308 Winchester bullets in their hands, and the human body cannot withstand even one shot.
"The police officer was shot!"
"Drag Hans away! Quick!"
Upon seeing this, the two colleagues quickly stepped forward and dragged the man who had been shot out of the wide area to the bathroom entrance and exit on the right.
Leon also rushed over to check the guy's injuries.
There was only a small section of skin left on the severed arm, connecting the left hand and half of the left forearm that was about to fall off, and blood was spraying out uncontrollably.
But with a "pop!", this small section of skin couldn't hold on, causing the left hand and half of the left forearm to fall completely off.
"Fuck...it really hurts...I'm new here, you have to sacrifice my arm..."
The boy who was shot glanced at the severed limb and mocked weakly with his white lips.
"Hold on." Leon took out the biofoam with a solemn expression, stopped the bleeding and assured in a deep voice:
