Since the government army has arrived, the rioters basically can't stir up any more trouble, and the crisis is considered completely resolved.
"Leave two people to guard here, the rest follow me."
Gu Ji gestured, leading Jillian and the man with the explosive hair back to the first-floor lobby of the airport.
The sound of helicopter rotors spinning at high speed echoed outside the terminal. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows at the boarding gate, he saw two helicopters painted in gray-green camouflage rapidly approaching.
Surrounding travelers hugged each other, weeping for joy.
Some people started taking out their phones to record everything happening around them, especially focusing on Gu Ji standing at the entrance of the lobby.
But Gu Ji's attention was entirely focused on those two helicopters.
"France's Alouette III light multipurpose helicopter, rightly so. For the police, the rioters' firepower is fierce, but for the military, it doesn't warrant the deployment of armed helicopters..."
Gu Ji mumbled to himself.
Perhaps having spotted the rioters' MPV to the northeast of the terminal, one of the Alouette III helicopters suddenly accelerated, flew over the rooftop, delayed for two or three seconds, "rat-tat-tat..."
A sudden burst of concentrated light machine gunfire followed by a loud "boom" was probably the bullets hitting the fuel tank, causing the vehicle to explode.
Seeing the "last" rioter eliminated, the airport travelers cheered on the spot.
But only Gu Ji and his team knew that at this moment, the rioter leader, Cohen, was still hiding somewhere inside the building. However, he had already arranged for several federal police officers to guard various key locations, and with the government army helicopters scouting above, it meant Cohen was completely trapped in the terminal.
Moments later.
Two armed helicopters landed on the open space of the airport, the doors opened, and a group of soldiers wielding Type-56 assault rifles quickly charged into the airport. Unlike the Luoao Rebel Army rioters, their uniforms were dark green, with deep red berets on their heads.
"Drop your weapons!"
A large-eyed black soldier leading the group shouted at Gu Ji and the others.
In order to avoid being mistakenly killed, Gu Ji and Jillian decisively dropped the rifles and handguns they were holding, raised their hands, and stood still, "We're here to assist the federal police against the rioters. There's still one rioter at large inside the airport, he should be hiding in the ventilation ducts now..."
"Understood, everything inside the terminal is now being handled by the Ethiopian government army! For your safety, please hand over all your weapons and retreat to a safe location to wait!"
The large-eyed black soldier lowered his gun, pointed to the side of the wall, and then led his teammates deeper inside.
Judging from their movements, their tactical level was clearly more than a notch above that of the airport federal police. It was estimated that the Ethiopian government also realized the great impact of the attack at Laird International Airport, so they urgently dispatched their elite forces.
Gradually, more armored vehicles and troop carriers arrived in front of the airport terminal, a large number of armed government soldiers began taking over airport security, guarding all key positions in rows, undoubtedly giving travelers a strong sense of security.
The soldiers' execution speed was clearly much faster than the police's.
In less than ten minutes.
The bodies of the rioters that Gu Ji and the others had shot were carried out one by one to the outside of the airport lobby, even the injured Jamie was wheeled out by army medics.
At that moment, a system notification finally sounded in his mind:
[Ultimate goal: Prevent the Laird Airport massacre and save 794 civilians completed!]
[Side goal: Successfully protect Jillian and Foster!]
[Hidden goal unlocked: Seek the Golden Truth!]
