Chapter 1 Hidden Dead Angle

In the following days, Li Ang tinkered with equipment and props in his living room to prepare for the next script mission.

"Judging by the time, it should be almost here."

One afternoon, while adjusting the drone in his living room, Li Ang finally received a system notification.

Teleportation in 5 minutes, teleport now?

"Finally, it's here."

Li Ang's heart stirred. Taking advantage of the five-minute gap before teleportation, he quickly tidied up everything in the room and stood fully armed in the center of the living room.

This script mission was a solo operation, no teammates, no team.

The mission name was "Fool in a Perilous Building," so the scene of the story mission should be in a building.

Combining the mission objectives, he had to eliminate the mafia members and their leader within a limited area… Speaking of which, the number one hundred was a bit exaggerated.

Tama Riady sounded like a Spanish name. Where would this be?

Spain, Mexico, Cuba, or Colombia, the Philippines... Or perhaps, the entire script mission was set in a fictional world.

The short five minutes passed quickly. As the second hand of the clock on the wall rotated to 12, the scenery before Li Ang's eyes changed rapidly.

Huff, puff.

Li Ang was now in a rather narrow, confined space, surrounded by wooden planks on all sides, with a wooden stick across the top.

Maintaining a crouching posture, Li Ang barely managed to move his foot and found that the sensation under his feet should be a ball of soft clothing. At the same time, the air in the enclosed space was filled with a musty, stale odor.

"This seems to be... a wardrobe? Speaking of which, why am I hiding in a wardrobe? Don't tell me I'm playing an Old Wang who slept with the boss's woman and is being hunted down by the entire underworld?"

Li Ang did not rashly walk out of the closet, but calmly felt the outfit on his body in the darkness.

What he held in his hand was a 7.62mm caliber Scar-H, CQC (Close Quarters Combat) variant, with a 251mm short barrel and an Aimpot M2 red dot sight.

The upper body was equipped with a MICH Kevlar tactical bulletproof helmet, bone conduction headphones, goggles, combat uniform, and a modular tactical vest.

The waist was equipped with a nylon belt, with a Kimber Lapds II handgun on each side. Both handguns were equipped with silencers, and the right handgun was also equipped with a portable gun light.

In addition, there was a hip-mounted handgun holster and a hip-mounted handheld communication radio.

The legs were equipped with a Bhi leg-mounted gas mask bag, leg-mounted magazine pouches, two stun grenades, two smoke grenades, and two hand grenades.

Knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, and GSG9 combat boots were all complete. A leather dagger sheath was also attached to the inside of the left boot.

It was no exaggeration to say that Li Ang was now armed to the teeth, but he was not happy at all. "Am I playing a S.W.A.T. member?"

The so-called S.W.A.T., that is, Special Weapons And Tactics, refers to a special anti-terrorism combat unit with advanced technology and tactics.

It originated in the 1960s in Los Angeles, USA.

The police formed a special weapons assault team to deal with rampant firearms, and achieved quite good results in many actual combat tests.

All countries in the world have established SWAT teams, and the equipment configuration of their members varies according to the region, but they are all synonymous with "elite."

Even the weakest government can beat the so-called mafia.

Bulletproof and explosion-proof vehicles, snipers with thermal infrared imagers in high positions, plus one or two armed helicopters. After a set of procedures, let alone a mere mafia, even a Mexican drug lord would have to piss his pants.

Just as Li Ang was thinking, he heard the system notification again.

In this mission, the player is in full role-playing mode, retaining attribute point enhancements, and can freely use items in the backpack, but cannot use skills or equipment, including title abilities.

Mission briefing has been sent

"Hiss--"

Li Ang hurriedly opened the player panel and found that all areas except the attribute bar and backpack bar had turned gray, and there was no response no matter how he clicked.

"You're sending an ordinary person with relatively strong physiological functions to fight 100 armed thugs? System, you're something else."

Li Ang complained in his heart for a while and obediently began to read the mission briefing sent by the system.

This is Marawi City, the provincial capital of Lanao del Sur on the island of Mindanao, Philippines.

Since Duterte took office, the president, who was a lawyer, has launched an all-out war against criminals in the country on the grounds that "the Philippines is terminally ill, has been occupied by drugs, and the democratic judicial system is completely dysfunctional."

The problem of firearms in the Philippines is extremely serious. At least 600,000 firearms are illegally possessed, most of which are controlled by drug lords.

In order to combat drug forces, Duterte not only dispatched government forces, but also distributed firearms to "Barangay Leaders" (that is, the Philippine version of village gentry) for free, encouraging the public to take action against drug dealers. It is not illegal to shoot them dead, and there are even generous bonuses to be received.

Such an all-out war naturally set off a bloodbath. Many low-level drug dealers were eliminated by the vast Filipino people.

Many Western holier-than-thou media have repeatedly condemned this "atrocity" on the grounds of "persecuting human rights", but the Filipino people, who have suffered deeply from drug dealers, firmly support this anti-drug war.

A few big drug lords were unwilling to perish and joined forces with rebel forces to decide to make a big move. Tama Riady, the target of this mission, is one of them.

In just three months, two mayors and one deputy mayor have been killed in Marawi City, Philippines, all shot to death in their offices.

Due to the deeply entrenched ISIS and drug forces in Marawi City, and the corruption of high-level officials, there was not enough armed force to suppress the drug lords headed by Tama Riady for a while.

At the same time, a large number of rebels, colluding with the drug lord forces from within, are also advancing towards Marawi City.

They will make direct contact with the Philippine government army in three days - the latter's combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and it is estimated that they will collapse at the first blow.

At that time, 200,000 civilians in the city will be in the flames of war brought by the insurgents.

Manny Pacquiao, the captain of the Marawi City Special Weapons and Tactics team, received information that Tama Riady would be meeting Santos Aquino, the brother of rebel leader Cruz Aquino, in his apartment building today.

Therefore, this Special Weapons and Tactics captain decided to bypass the upper echelons of the police station (he suspected that the high-level officials had been bought by Tama Riady).

He led his 20-man tactical squad to raid Tama Riady's apartment, quickly cut the Gordian knot, eliminate Tama Riady, kidnap Santos Aquino, and prevent the rebel forces from advancing into the city.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
