“This is the place.”

Li Ang and his team stood in the hallway of the tenth floor, sizing up the safe house that Tama Riyadi had built for himself.

With numerous competitors and countless enemies, Tama Riyadi was extremely afraid of death. To ensure his own safety, he had set up several safe houses in Marawi City and the Philippines.

These secret rooms were all built to the standards of bank vaults. The ceilings, walls, and floors made of reinforced concrete were sandwiched with several layers of homogeneous steel plates.

The door was made of high-strength alloy, 100mm thick, impervious to machine-gun fire, and would take a while to blast open even with grenades.

Impenetrable, indestructible.

The members of the temporary squad looked at the steel-reinforced alloy door, and knowing smiles appeared on their faces.

Li Ang raised his Scar-H rifle and pulled the trigger of the grenade launcher toward the concrete wall above the alloy door.

The grenade struck the concrete wall and exploded with a bang.

When the smoke cleared, the door still stood firm. Only a small hole had been blasted in the concrete wall above it, revealing the steel plate embedded inside.

Inside the safe house, Tama Riyadi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he, Santos, and a dozen of their subordinates were huddled in the back of the safe house.

A dozen fully armed gang members—even if they were all thrown into the water, they would cause a splash.

Yet now they were missing in action, with not even a response.

If Tama Riyadi hadn't given his subordinates another sub-product of the Tan Hua (ephemeral flower), ensuring that they wouldn't easily rebel,

he would have almost thought that all of his subordinates had been bought off by rivals.

"They can't get in."

Tama Riyadi, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, forced a smile and said to Santos, "It's very safe here. Just stall for another ten or twenty minutes, and my other subordinates in the city will be able to come and support us."

Support, support your ass.

Santos Aquino wanted nothing more than to tear off Tama Riyadi's head and kick it like a ball.

If this idiot hadn't been so arrogant, assassinating the mayor of Marawi City and exposing this batch of "Tan Hua" goods,

how could the rebel organization have launched a hasty attack on Marawi City? How could he be in such a dangerous situation, huddled in a safe house trembling with this bald uncle?

In his mind, Santos had already violated Tama Riyadi's ancestors for ten generations, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile on his face.

He stared at the alloy door, his hand hidden beneath his suit, gently playing with a glass test tube filled with dark green liquid, muttering to himself, "It better be..."

Outside the alloy door, Li Ang lay on the alloy door frame, and through his gloves, reached out to peel off the hot rubble from the door frame.

After removing the rubble, a small indentation was left above the door,

Li Ang gestured in the indentation with his palm, jumped off the door frame, and nodded to his companions.

In order to break through this door, the SWAT team had specifically brought several aLsg814 thermite grenades before departure.

Thermite is a compound made by mixing aluminum powder and ferric oxide powder in a certain proportion. After adding an oxidant and igniting it, aluminum oxide and elemental iron can be obtained.

In this process, the thermite reaction can release temperatures as high as 3000°, which can easily melt even steel.

Li Ang took the grenade from the shield brother, told his companions to stay away, and inserted the grenade into the indentation above the door frame, pulling the pin.

He quickly retreated more than ten steps,

and heard a muffled "呲——" sound.

The incendiary grenade instantly bloomed with thousands of sparks, like an extremely dazzling firework.

The temperature near the alloy door frame instantly rose, and the air was stirred by layers of heat waves, becoming blurred.

The metal near the thermite turned red, and the reinforced concrete above the door frame began to melt, dripping like candle wax and adhering to the grenade.

Thermite has its own oxygen supply and does not require any external air source, so it will not be extinguished even if it is buried by rubble.

After more than forty seconds, the 615 grams of thermite filled in the aLsg814 heavy thermite burning grenade finally burned out.

A conical gap, large in the front and small in the back, appeared in the wall. The gap was full of black solidified objects of molten iron and stones.

And the top of the alloy door had already collapsed, like a cake that had been dug out.

When the temperature at the door dropped slightly, Li Ang raised his phone over his head and took a few photos of the gap—he didn't jump up to look in person because he was afraid of being shot in the head by someone inside through the gap.

After taking the photos, Li Ang glanced at the screen of his phone and confirmed that he could see part of the scene inside the door through the gap, which was about 15 centimeters in diameter.

The living room was empty, with no sign of anyone. It seemed that Tama Riyadi and the others had hidden in the side room of the safe house.

Li Ang thought for a while and shouted into the door, "Listen up, people inside! You are surrounded! Give up your futile resistance and lay down your weapons immediately!"

Naturally, there was no response.

Nonsense, what if they were shot to death by a volley of bullets as soon as they went out?

After all, Tama Riyadi had commanded his subordinates to eliminate many special operations team members.

Li Ang smiled and shouted loudly at the gap, "Don't worry, Mr. Riyadi, when I came, my superiors told me,

My superiors asked me to give you a message, as long as you surrender your gun, we guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and great gold tickets."

The other four SWAT officers looked at each other in dismay. Their raid on the apartment was entirely their own idea. Where did any superiors come from, let alone private promises?

The door was silent. Li Ang stroked his chin and said in a low voice with narrowed eyes, "Tch, he didn't fall for it."

Who would fall for that? You'd be a fool to believe it, okay?

The four officers slandered in their hearts, but saw Li Ang regroup and shout, "The old folks in the house, come out and see! There's a group of sows lined up to jump into the ditch outside! The scene is so spectacular, you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't watch it!"

Still quiet.

The four officers felt a pain in the balls, and black lines seemed to appear on their foreheads.

Li Ang took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly, and shouted at the gap, "If you don't open the door again, I'm going to take unconventional measures. You will be responsible for the consequences!"

After saying that, Li Ang detached the grenade launcher from the rifle, aimed the launch tube at the gap, and began to bombard the side room door.

After a few grenades, the slightly thinner metal door of the side room was also blown out of shape.

Li Ang removed the grenade launcher, took out a self-made high-pressure container filled with compressed chlorine gas from the backpack column, and extended the plastic hose from the tank outlet into the gap on the door frame.
