You Have Been Defended [EN]: Chapter 583

“It’s quiet, Chief.”

A guard’s voice cut through the silence inside the guardhouse.

Today, there was an important event within the Ribbon Medical Center, so the security personnel were much larger than usual.

Typically, the security personnel stationed at the two main entrances consisted of 7 at the front gate and 5 at the back gate.

But now, there are 20 at the front gate and 17 at the back gate.

There were instructions to be extra vigilant, but a long time had passed since the shift started, and not even an ant had stirred.

“Still, don’t let your guard down until we hear from above.”

The chief said, his eyes fixed on the CCTV screen.

On other days, problems could be covered up.

But today, that couldn’t be guaranteed.

The Ribbon Medical Center, as a medical facility, and even this building, had never been exposed to the outside world.

Even the nearby merchants who knew of its existence only knew it as a wealthy man’s residence.

Until now, no suspicious movements had been detected in this vicinity.

Even so, it was possible that things could be quiet on other days but turn chaotic today.

“If we get breached today, we’re all dead. I’m not just saying it, we’ll really die. Got it?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Check again. The location of the tools.”

“In the box behind the guardhouse.”

“Stay sharp until 11 AM tomorrow.”

“Yes, sir.”

The chief nodded and stepped out of the guardhouse.

The sound of moths swarming and colliding with the lights installed above the guardhouse could be heard.

He stared at the lights for a moment before approaching the guards standing in front of the main gate.

“Hot?”

“We’re fine.”

“Rotate with the guys inside in 10 minutes.”

“Underst……. Huh?”

The chief, who was inspecting the guards facing away from the main gate, suddenly turned around at the unexpected exclamation.

Thud, thud, thud.

The sound of multiple footsteps was heard.

A small sound that was hard to hear unless you were listening closely.

They weren’t walking.

They were approaching very quickly.

Moreover, it seemed to be more than just one or two people.

Until just now, nothing was visible on the CCTV [Closed-circuit television, a system that allows video to be transmitted].

Did they come through the forest to get here?

And only through areas without CCTV?

Whatever way they came, their appearance was not pre-approved, so it was a reportable event, but if they came in secretly, the answer became even clearer.

They weren’t allies.

The chief brought the radio in his hand to his mouth.

“Unidentified personnel approaching the front gate.”

He spoke quickly, but the radio only emitted static.

He frowned and snatched the radio attached to the chest of the guard standing next to him and repeated the same words.

“Unidentified personnel approaching the front gate.”

Static, more static.

But that radio was the same.

Did a problem suddenly occur with the radio waves?

The chief quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and signaled to the guards.

The guards inside the guardhouse also rushed outside immediately, leaving only one person behind.

They stood in a line as if building a defensive line right in front of the guardhouse and strained their eyes to identify who was approaching, and the chief gave up on the radio and made a phone call.

“What the hell? Is it because it’s a mountain?”

But the call wouldn’t go through either.

“Someone who isn’t using the same carrier, call and report inside. Tell them suspicious personnel are approaching.”

As the chief gave the frustrated order, numerous shadows appeared under the lights.

“What, why are there so many? It’s not just one or two?”

“They’re all in black, so I don’t know who they are.”

The guards began to stir.

“Everyone, prepare to block them. Don’t rush in before I signal. What are you doing!”

The chief shouted at the guards, who were tilting their heads while holding their cell phones to their ears.

“The phone isn’t working.”

“Why isn’t the phone working!”

“I don’t know. It seems to be a problem with the base station.”

“Why does it have to be at a time like th……. Police special forces?”

As the person at the front of the unidentified personnel came completely into the light, the white letters attached to the black tactical vest caught his eye.

“Crazy, what…….”

“Why are the special forces here?”

“When the police come, aren’t they just rookie cops or detectives at best?”

The guards murmured.

“Don’t panic. Remember the manual? Block only the front gate and the guardhouse until I signal. Bring the tools.”

At the chief’s order, the subordinates dragged the heavy box placed behind the guardhouse to the front gate.

Inside were iron pipes.

Meanwhile, the chief took a few guards and approached the police.

“What’s going on?”

And as if there were no reservations, he asked the police with a calm face.

“This is Police Lieutenant Heo Min-woo. We received intelligence that illegal organ trafficking is taking place inside. Open the gate. Failure to comply will result in forced execution.”

Heo Min-woo said.

Then, the chief, who had been consistently stern, relaxed his expression as if he were an ordinary security company employee with a good personality and let out a hollow laugh as if he were dumbfounded.

“No, organ trafficking? This is just a house. I think you’ve come to the wrong place.”

“If you continue to block us, we will consider you an accomplice to obstruction of official business and organ trafficking crimes.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Ha, you have a warrant, right? Even if you’re police, if you do this without a warrant, it’s trespassing…….”

The chief spoke non-stop to Heo Min-woo while simultaneously signaling towards the guardhouse with one hand behind his back.

It meant for the guard remaining in the guardhouse to report the situation to the higher-ups via landline.

“The person inside, come out.”

But before the chief could finish speaking, Lee Jin-woo approached the small window in front of the guardhouse and tapped on the glass.

The guard inside the guardhouse made eye contact with Lee Jin-woo for a moment through the window.

Then, he quickly reached for the landline phone placed on the desk.

Clang!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lee Jin-woo briefly gripped the handle of his police baton and smashed the window.

Then, he reached his arm through the broken glass and snatched the landline phone before the guard could even press the extension number.

The wires plugged into the landline phone were pulled out, and the objects on the desk fell haphazardly to the floor.

“Ugh!”

Meanwhile, a special forces officer quickly grabbed the guard’s arm out of the broken window.

“Don’t move. You’ll get hurt if you move your arm.”

The special forces officer said sternly, gesturing towards the broken glass remaining on the frame.

Without opening the guardhouse door, the internal personnel were subdued in an instant.

If the window were a little bigger, they would have torn off the frame and taken out the subdued guard, but it was only big enough for a small child to barely squeeze through.

“What are you doing? If you don’t answer when I ask to see a warrant, it seems like you don’t have one. You know it’s illegal to do this without a warrant, right? And this is property damage…….”

“This is the final warning. Put down your radios, cell phones, and any weapons you have and come out here.”

The chief shouted quickly, but Lee Jin-woo did not answer any of his words directly.

The chief calmly assessed the situation.

The police were very confident.

It didn’t seem like they would turn back like this.

But engaging in a full-scale battle with the police was quite burdensome.

Moreover, wasn’t the opponent the special forces?

The guards were people who wouldn’t lose out in terms of physical prowess, but they weren’t on par with the special forces, who were all experienced in special forces duty.

Whoosh.

At that moment, as if an engine sound was ringing in the distance, a bus arrived in front of the main gate.

It was a riot police bus.

The bus seemed to turn its course towards the forest, but it stopped as it blocked the road diagonally.

There was no one inside, but the chief seemed to know why that bus had come.

It was blocking the road to cut off the escape route.

“Shit…….”

With this, the actions that the front gate personnel had to take were determined.

It was only to block the police from entering the Ribbon Medical Center and buy time for the inside to sort out the situation.

Even before today’s shift, the higher-ups had said that even if the police came, they could be turned away if they reported quickly, so they told them to somehow block their entry.

“You! Find a place where the signal works and request support!”

The chief pointed to the guard standing at the end and conveyed the instructions, then shouted to the other guards.

“Block them!”

As soon as he shouted, the guards took out iron pipes from the box and rushed towards the police.

The same was true for Heo Min-woo.

Zzzzt!

Heo Min-woo fired the taser gun he was holding.

Despite aiming at the thigh, considering that they were wearing protective vests, the electrode needles did not stick to the thigh and fell to the floor.

The electrode needles of the taser gun deeply pierce the flesh.

It meant that they were wearing something on their thighs or wearing thick clothes.

Since the taser gun was neutralized, this attack had to be avoided.

Heo Min-woo checked the movement of the iron pipe falling towards his head and looked around with the intention of throwing himself.

If he got hit there, his skull might break.

Thud!

However, before the iron pipe could reach Heo Min-woo, the surroundings briefly darkened with a dull impact sound.

“Team leader!”

Lee Jin-woo was holding a shield and blocking the iron pipe that had fallen on Heo Min-woo.

“Lieutenant, please step back for a moment.”

Heo Min-woo nodded and stepped back a little from the line.

However, it wasn’t that he wasn’t worried.

He didn’t know to what extent the guards were wearing protective gear, but in this situation, the only weapon that the police could mobilize for physical force without much burden was practically the taser gun.

If the police force consisted only of ordinary detectives, the use of firearms would not have been a big problem.

As Lee Jin-woo said, the situation was that many subjects were rushing in with iron pipes, and the suppression using tasers had failed once.

But now, the police force here was mostly heavily armed special forces officers and even had shields.

There was no way there wouldn’t be repercussions if they used firearms, which were only allowed as a last resort.

If the police’s excessive crackdown became a topic of discussion, the special forces officers who came out to support today would suffer great damage.

When discussing the use of firearms during the operation meeting, the use of firearms was limited to when there was no other way for this reason.

He trusted the special forces, but it wouldn’t be easy to subdue the guys wielding iron pipes without a taser gun in an instant.

There was also a way to fire a gun into the air and scare them by concentrating their attention with the gunshot, telling them that they would use live ammunition.

However, it was not suitable for the current situation.

The gunshot was too loud and would definitely be heard inside the Ribbon Medical Center, which would make all the efforts so far meaningless.

“Block them! If we can’t block them here, we’re screwed! It’s all over! Don’t just block the guardhouse, block the front gate and anyone crossing the fence!”

There was an opening button inside the guardhouse.

If the police entered the guardhouse, the door would open soon.

However, it wasn’t just a matter of blocking the guardhouse.

The opponent was the police special forces.

No matter how high the front gate was, made of bars over 3 meters high, they would cross it in an instant if there were no obstacles.

It was not difficult for them to go all the way to the mountain and cross the high fence surrounding the site.

They had to hold on somehow and block their entry.

“Argh! Ugh!”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

But no matter how much they were holding iron pipes, they couldn’t stop the police, who were made up of many special forces officers.

Because there was a limit to the points that could be hit due to the shield, and the more they swung the iron pipe, the more quickly their weaknesses were exposed, and they were hit and plunged to the floor.

The guard who was running to find a place where the signal was working was also quickly overtaken by the special forces officer who chased after him and was subdued as he dropped the device.

“Find the door opening button!”

“Open the guardhouse door!”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Argh!”

The police pushed the guards blocking the front of the guardhouse with their shields and quickly reached the front of the guardhouse.

“Crowbar, crowbar!”

The special forces officers made way for their colleagues who had brought crowbars to open the firmly locked iron door, while simultaneously guarding against the guards who were rushing in to stop them.

The special forces officer inserted the crowbar into the locked door gap and pushed with all his might.

Beep beep beep!

Thud, thud!

As the special forces officer pushed the end of the crowbar body with his weight, the gap in the iron door gradually widened, and an alarm sounded from the lock.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Each time the weight was applied, the iron door buckled, and finally, it made a cracking sound and broke.

“Pull, pull!”

The special forces officers put their hands into the gap in the broken door and tore off the door.

“Damn it, it won’t turn off?! Turn it off! Argh!”

The employee who had been subdued with his arm caught outside the window hooked his body on the desk and waved his feet.

It was an attempt to stop them somehow, but the special forces officer quickly grabbed that leg and twisted it in the opposite direction.

While one special forces officer blocked the guard’s interference, another quickly fumbled for the devices placed on the desk.

Beeep─

Clang!

And he found the door opening button inside and pressed it, and with a heavy notification sound, the lock on the heavy front gate was released.

The two special forces officers who quickly exited the guardhouse looked around.

All of the guards were pushed against the guardhouse wall by the shields, standing with their hands on their heads.

“Team leader, the front gate is open.”

“Prepare and get ready to enter.”

“Yes.”

“Does the number of security personnel at the front gate match?”

Lee Jin-woo quickly scanned the subdued guards with his eyes and asked the external support leader.

“Yes. There are 20 in total.”

“Finish it properly. Got it?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Entry team, quickly enter through the front gate, and support team. How many people will you need here?”

“Considering the personnel who will try to escape from the inside to the front gate, please attach only two people.”

At the support leader’s gesture, two people ran towards him.

“Okay. These two will stay and the rest will join the entry team.”

Current time is 10:35 PM.

The officers who had finished preparing while the front gate was being opened followed Heo Min-woo and Lee Jin-woo and rushed into the Ribbon Medical Center in an orderly manner.
