Chapter 3 Li Wei found his ordinary daily life.
"Mr. Levi, we are from the Florida Highway Patrol!"
Outside the door, a police officer announced his arrival.
"Yes, keep lying flat. Take deep breaths and don't tense up."
Inside the door, Li Wei was helping a pregnant woman to ensure a safe pregnancy.
"The building is surrounded!"
The SWAT team began its deployment.
"I'll help you stabilize it. As long as you don't suffer further damage during the recovery period, you'll be fine."
Li Wei used the sling of the assault rifle robber to help stabilize the broken leg bone of the old man.
"Put down your weapons, raise your hands, and walk out the front door. No one will be hurt."
The police officer began to persuade them to surrender.
"Your back is fine; it's just phantom pain from the shock."
"Hmm...it's just a broken capillary. A band-aid will fix it."
Li Wei also resolved the issues with the bank staff and security guards.
Now, he needs to start dealing with his own problems.
After confirming that none of the hostages were seriously injured, Li Wei grabbed the counter and jumped inside.
This action startled the bank employee.
"Sorry, I startled you. I just wanted to come in and help you pack your money, since your hand is injured, isn't it?"
In the end, the bank employee who had threatened to sleep with Li Wei just a minute before simply lay down on the ground and hugged his head.
Li Wei didn't care; after all, he wasn't here to sleep with this bank employee.
He shrugged and focused on his own business—packing money.
After opening the bag and casually pushing the remaining money on the counter into it, Li Wei jumped back outside the counter with the bag in his hand.
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the others, he walked to the bank employee passage connecting the counter and the lobby and politely knocked on the door.
"Could you please open the door so I can leave through the back door?"
The bank employee looked up and stared at him in disbelief.
Li Wei tilted his head, and asked a question with some confusion.
"Isn't it basic courtesy to knock before entering someone's private space, unless you're trying to help them?"
This guy is a complete lunatic!
As soon as the thought crossed the bank employee's mind, she stood up without hesitation and opened the door to the employee entrance for Li Wei.
"Thanks."
Li Wei first thanked the bank clerk, then flashed what he considered a sunny and handsome smile at the others.
Thank you all for your cooperation. Have a pleasant dinner tonight.
After saying that, Li Wei carried the money bag to the employee area, glanced at the floor plan hanging on the wall, and headed straight for the back door.
However, when he actually got to the back door, he didn't rush to push the door open and leave. Instead, he grabbed two mops that were standing by the door, held them with the mop heads facing up in his hands.
Then, he kicked the back door.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the metal door's latch was instantly torn apart, and the entire door slammed against the wall with a loud "thud."
Other than that, nothing else happened.
The first mop was thrown out.
It bounced off the wall in the back alley and landed safely.
The second mop was thrown out.
"Snapped!"
A gunshot rang out, and the entire mop head scattered like a shower of flowers.
At that moment, Li Wei dashed out like lightning and quickly pounced behind a pile of debris.
"Snapped!"
A gunshot rang out immediately afterward, the bullet hitting the wall and sending up several pieces of gravel.
Li Wei made a conclusion after a quick glance.
"Aiming for the head instead of the leg? It seems the other side isn't police officers, but the military. But which unit specifically?"
Li Wei thought for a moment, took off his coat, rolled it into a ball, and slowly raised it as cover.
"Snapped!"
His coat was knocked off.
"The time interval between the gunshot and the point of impact... SR-25."
"Wind resistance and bullet holes... M118LR standard sniper round."
"Because they were tricked once, they lost their rhythm..."
Then, Li Wei learned which unit the other side was from.
Delta Force, but they seem to lack practical experience.
Li Wei smiled, but not in mockery of the "newbie" peering out from the eighth window on the sixth floor across the street.
Instead, he finally rediscovered his former "ordinary daily life" and that feeling of certainty that he was alive when he was on the brink of life and death.
In that instant, he even felt that the money in his hand had finally come in handy—helping him find himself again.
Not the person I am who would remain humble and not fire the first shot on the battlefield.
Instead, it was the version of myself who was alone, trapped in a small village by half a company of terrorists, and survived for a month and a half with the weapons and ammunition I found, before finally being rescued and escaping unscathed, striving to live on.
They clearly felt every second of life slipping away, snatching the next second from the clutches of death in a perilous situation that could kill them at any moment.
This is way more satisfying than teaching a bunch of idiots every day and then kicking their asses!
However, politeness should still be maintained.
After all, this is the biggest difference between humans and wild animals.
He was simply a person who longed to feel "alive," not a beast running wildly toward "desire."
Now, Li Wei is happy.
So he decided to play with that "newbie" rather than end this fun game hastily.
Li Wei took a short, deep breath to make sure he could keep his head calm and not get carried away by too much joy, then he threw the money bag away.
"Snapped!"
The money bag, which wasn't even tied up, was hit in mid-air and crashed to the ground, scattering its banknotes everywhere, which danced in the wind.
The money that was scattered everywhere became the best "smoke bomb," and in some ways, it was even more effective than a smoke bomb.
After all, soldiers can fire without hesitation into smoke, but what if it's a shower of banknotes flying everywhere?
How many people are not easily distracted?
So Li Wei rushed out of the cover and headed straight for the entrance of the residential building across the street.
It took almost two seconds before the gunshot rang out again.
The gunshot sounded like an angry roar, heading straight for Li Wei's chest as he moved at high speed in a serpentine pattern.
Li Wei's choice was simple—an emergency stop.
"Snapped!"
The bullet struck the asphalt pavement in front of Li Weijun's boots.
Li Wei knew that the other person's expression must be quite interesting right now.
Then came the venting of frustration with semi-automatic firing.
From a tactical perspective, the choice should be to either evacuate or move closer.
But Li Wei chose the third option—or.
He stood still, raised the C9 rifle he always held in his hand, and fired three shots at the eighth window from the left on the sixth floor.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
52 meters, exceeding the effective range by 6 meters, 3 rapid shots.
The empty streets were no longer filled with the sound of SR-25 gunfire.
Li Wei put away his gun, waved in the direction of the "newbie," and mouthed "bye."
He was saying goodbye to the sniper who was now probably making the sign of the cross on his chest.
After all, if someone, right in front of Li Wei, at a distance beyond the maximum firing range, managed to break the barrel of his sniper rifle with three rapid-fire pistol shots... well, he wouldn't make the sign of the cross.
Because he didn't believe the white-bearded old man, and no one could do that while he was holding a sniper rifle.
In the end, Li Wei left with a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll.
Then, just as he stepped across the street, that annoying voice echoed in his mind again.
[Task Rating: A (6x Bonus)]
[Task Evaluation: Aside from not taking the money, you spread fear like a madman. If this is your villainous aesthetic, I respect it. Even if it's not perfect.]
[Reward distribution: 1 hour * 6]
Li Wei didn't pay attention at first.
However, when he heard this voice and took another step, a change occurred.
The jacket he had left in the back alley of the bank reappeared on him, and the bullet holes in it had disappeared.
Just like... he always wore it.
Li Wei was stunned; he didn't understand what had happened.
Until a call came.
"Sir! It's dangerous over there! Three robbers are robbing a bank! Come to me quickly!"
Li Wei snapped back to reality and looked up.
A police officer was seen leaning over the back of the police car, waving anxiously at him.
