Outside the Sentry Post, a team of Patrol Officers from the Patrol Bureau began advancing up the ramp. The gunfire from above had ceased for a while, so they moved under the cover of sporadic fire from below.
They were now about halfway up, having reached the second bend in the path.
This was an extremely dangerous maneuver. If even one person rushed out from the Sentry Post and opened fire, they could kill or injure the entire team in an instant.
After all, they were on an open ramp. Even though the officers at the front wore Protective Clothing and steel helmets, a shot to the limbs or face, or even a fall from that height, could be fatal. Moreover, there was no room to retreat.
