Ambushed
Kilo 7 was the next to encounter trouble. They approached a narrow alleyway, their vehicle moving slowly to avoid detection. Suddenly, a burst of gunfire erupted from a nearby building, the sound of automatic rounds tearing through the rain and slicing into the armored vehicle. Sparks flew as the bullets pinged off the steel.
"Ambush!" one of the operators shouted, her heart pounding. The turret gunner reacted immediately, swiveling the mounted PKM weapon toward the source of fire.
"Hold fire!" the Kilo 7 leader ordered, spotting movement in the corner of her eye. There, in the building across from the ambushers, a family cowered in their living room, children pressed against the window, watching in horror. One wrong move, and the crossfire could kill them.
"Kilo 7, this is Kilo 0," Tang Ziyi's voice crackled over the comms. "Check your shots. Multiple civilians in the adjacent building. Suppress only with burst mode. Control your aim."
