The sudden rocket attack caused a momentary panic, but after the brief alarm, Coleman's men quickly relayed the situation back, reporting no casualties. A total of four rockets hit the building, but only one penetrated inside, exploding in an empty room.
Relieved by the news of no casualties, Green Mamba was just relaxing when someone shouted, "We've located the attackers! Three pickup trucks, they're changing position, no, they're headed our way, trying to improve accuracy. We can't let them get too close, prepare to counter-attack!"
Upon hearing the shouts, Gao Yang and his team quickly ran to their shooting spot on the fourth floor, which had a window with a good vantage point that was not particularly conspicuous.
As soon as Gao Yang got into position, he saw three pickup trucks heading their way, then stopping about a kilometer away. The trucks then started reversing, their beds aimed at the building where he was.
