Chapter 148 [Start of Action]
Chapter 148 [Operation Begins]
After the call, I turned off the computer.
Officer Louis's words shocked everyone and also brought fear to everyone! Originally, these people thought that hiding here would be "safe" at least for the time being.
But now it seems that the speculations about "terrorists" and whether they will take extreme suicide attacks have brought unknown fears to everyone - although these are still at the level of speculation and there is no evidence to prove them.
"Hey!" The first person to speak was a male guest... In fact, I was already full of disgust for these two male guests. At this time, he pulled his duck-like voice and said excitedly: "I think that guy is exaggerating! Look, he is just a policeman! Those are just speculations! We have no evidence to prove that the guys outside will kill everyone - including themselves! No one will kill themselves like this... I don't believe that policeman! This is simply a random guess! It should be safe for us to hide here!"
His voice trembled, his voice was loud, but his confidence was not very strong. Moreover, these words were not as good as trying to comfort himself than to convince others. Unfortunately, it seemed that other people also agreed with him. Another male guest also shouted: "That's right! We have no evidence! We don't need to take risks for a guess that may not be valid at all, right!"
He said, looking at everyone at the same time, as if hoping to find supporters of his views.
"I think it's an adventure, too." Old Bruce sighed, his face very gloomy: "Now it's certain that these people outside are terrorists... But I personally don't think I can completely believe what Officer Louis said just now... Look. If we listen to him, we will take risks! And take great risks! And remember... Once we start taking risks, there is no room for turning back! You know, once the floor is chiseled, it means we have given up the current environment we can stick to! The chiseled floor cannot be blocked! If we fail to take risks, those guys can catch us! - And now, at least we are here. It's still safe."
I didn't say anything, just looked at them and these people. The three waiters didn't say anything, but they seemed to be obviously hesitant at their expressions... And ladies, except that Yang Wei was standing on my side, even Jessica was a little hesitant.
I know very well that this is probably the weakness of human nature: being in a relatively safe environment. No one will choose to take his own life and take risks when the situation is uncertain.
"Bruce!" I looked at Old Bruce and said in a deep voice: "I know it is difficult to make such a decision. But now do you think it's just a baseless assumption? Hell... are you the same as those bureaucratic FBIs? What do you think is the most terrible thing can't happen?"
"...At least, the demands of these people are only to threaten the authorities to release their accomplices." Old Bruce hesitated.
"Ahhh!" I laughed deliberately, then stared at him and asked, "Then, I ask you, even if their purpose is really what you said. What if the authorities do not compromise and refuse to release it?" I glanced at him, stopped him from speaking, and continued, "Okay! Even if the authorities had to compromise because of the hostages that were captured, they released the leaders of the detained terrorist organizations. But... how do these terrorists in our building retreat now? In the end, when the fish were defeated, who can guarantee that they would not die together?"
No one speaks.
After all, life is theirs.
I looked at them, mainly at Old Bruce. I continued, "Then I'll ask you again... Look, the policeman just told us that these terrorists have a neurotoxic gas called tg23! This kind of thing should be considered a weapon of mass destruction, right? Hell! Do you know how difficult this weapon is to get this weapon? How much does it cost to get this weapon? Could it be that these terrorists get this level of equipment just to intimidate the police?" I glared at Old Bruce: "If it's just to take hostages and threaten the authorities to release the leader of the terrorist organization, then it's enough for them to take hostages with ordinary guns! Is it necessary to spend so much money to get this powerful weapon of destruction? So. There is only one conclusion for all this... These people are definitely preparing to use this weapon!!"
Finally. I looked at these people: "If you are going to stay here and wait for death... then sorry, I don't plan to accompany you!"
After saying that, I called Lei Xiaohu and asked him to hand me the fire axe, and then I was about to go into the locker room to chisel the floor. The two male guests suddenly shouted and stopped me: "Damn it! What do you want to do! Once you chisel through the floor, they can attack from downstairs! You want to seek death yourself, but don't implicate everyone!!"
In desperation, the two of them came up and got into me and got entangled.
At this time, I was already in a state of anxiety. Looking at these two guys who had long made me very upset... Damn, I really think of me as a vegetarian Bodhisattva? I am a gangster boss who has done everything by killing people and setting fire! I'm so anxious that I don't need terrorists to do it. I will chop these two people with one axe first!
I raised the axe in my hand, full of murderous aura, and shouted, "Get out of here!"
One guy suddenly became soft and took a few steps back. The other guy hesitated for a moment and was kicked to the ground by me. Then I chopped his head with an axe... With a scream from him, the axe hit the floor against his scalp. The man was so scared that his eyes rolled and he almost fainted.
I ignored these people and walked into the locker room with an axe. Old Bruce suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Seeing him following me, I frowned: "Bruce, do you want to stop me too?"
"No..." He hesitated for a moment: "I think what you said makes sense...but, this matter is too critical. We need to plan... because once things start, there is no chance to turn back! We need to be more sure!"
"Bruce!"
This time, the one who suddenly spoke was the young female companion named Monica of Old Bruce. She walked over and whispered: "I also think that Mr. Chen's words make sense. I also think that the danger of staying here may be greater. So..."
"...Okay!" Old Bruce finally nodded, and he said with difficulty: "But we must think of a way first... It is not a good choice to break through so recklessly."
I didn't say anything else, as long as he didn't object. In fact, what he said made sense. We really need to make a plan and make a rash move on, which is not a good idea.
"Mr. Willis." Yang Wei suddenly spoke: "I have a plan."
Everyone looked at Yang Wei, and she breathed rapidly. But her eyes were calm: "If all of us rushed down, it would be a dead end! We have no weapons, and the other party is a fully armed terrorist. We cannot drill through the floor of the sixty-first floor downstairs under their eyelids! So, we only have one choice... we must find a way to drive away most of the attention of the terrorists on the sixty-first floor! So, my plan is..."
She slowly came to the table, took out a piece of paper and drew it roughly:
"You see, the 61st floor is different from the 62nd floor we are now. We are the top floor exhibition center, and there is a large exhibition hall in the middle. There is a corridor around it, and there are bathrooms, lounges, etc. The layout of the floor downstairs is not like this. The downstairs is a large service area, which is the "backstage area" of all performances and activities. There are many floor rooms, many powder rooms, and some small rehearsal rooms, and even small stages. From the distribution point of view, the layout of the floor downstairs is more complicated. At the same time... it is more suitable to hide. And you should know that there were originally many hostages on the floor downstairs. There were dozens of hostages.
Famous models, artists, and several big-name female stars! Others include some makeup artists and stylists! There are probably dozens of people in these people! To control these hostages, these terrorists must leave at least three or four people to guard them. Our problem is that we don’t know which room the gangsters control the hostages... We still need to bet here! Because if we are very lucky, the other party just takes the hostages and controls the room where they are, right at our feet... Then, I’m afraid that as soon as we go down from here, we will have to face fully armed terrorists immediately! In this regard, we can only pray for God’s blessing."
When Yang Wei said this, Jessica suddenly spoke, "This one probably won't be there."
Her words attracted everyone's attention, Jessica thought for a while and said, "It's not the first time I've been here. I have also attended a show here. A large dressing room downstairs is on the east side of the building. And our current location is on the south side. In other words, I think those people should be in the big dressing room on the east side of the building after taking hostages. So it shouldn't be located below us."
"Very good." Yang Wei took a deep breath. I found that her breath suddenly became very rapid... It was a rapid but weak feeling. Her deep breathing began to increase, but continued: "Then our first problem was solved. The next thing was... When we chisel the floor, there would definitely be no sound! At this time, according to my guess, the other party would definitely send someone to look for the sound to check. Do you understand? They will hear the sound, but they don't know what we are doing! So they will not send everyone... Mostly one or two people to check it... This is our opportunity. I need Chen Yang and Xiaohu to go down first. Because you two have the best skills! Only you two can solve the terrorists who came to check as soon as possible... I know it's very dangerous, but I trust the skills of you two!"
"But..." Old Bruce said: "But even if Chen and his friend can kill the terrorists who came to check immediately, there will be no movement! We have been exposed, how can we continue to dig holes on the 61st floor downstairs? You know, there are no solid walls and gates downstairs like the ones in this place! We cannot continue to dig holes in the place below! Because terrorists will come."
"No!" Yang Wei said firmly: "We are not digging holes in the place below!" She seemed to smile: "Have you heard Officer Louis say just now? In the original building, from the sixtieth floor to the sixty-third floor, two passages are designed on each floor! In other words, the sixty-first floor below us, in addition to the place under our feet, there is another place to dig holes!! Officer Louis said just now that there was originally a stairway passage on the two lounges on each floor! We can dig holes from another place!"
"But we don't know where the other passage is." Old Bruce asked.
"Don't forget, it turned out to be the 'two lounges with one up and down stairway passage each'. According to the general layout, the two lounges should be symmetrical on both sides of the building! That is to say, the two sealed up and down stairway passages should also be symmetrical! The passage here is now on the east side of the building. It's very simple, and the other passage should be on the west side! As long as we remember the distance and symmetry principle, then we know the location of the passage under our feet, it is easy to calculate the location of the other passage! Isn't it?"
Yang Wei said, pointing to the top of his head: "Everyone saw that there is a ventilation duct above his head, enough for one person to crawl in it! My plan is. After we go down a while, Chen Yang and his friend, Mr. Lei Xiaohu, they both go down first and kill the terrorists sent by the other party to check our movements! And the movement must be fast! Then, the rest of us immediately crawl into the ventilation ducts! According to the principle of symmetry, quietly crawl to the other passage position!! At the same time, Chen Yang. I need you and Lei Xiaohu to make some movements as much as possible to attract the other party's terrorists! According to my estimate, the terrorists downstairs should be fewer than those on our floor! Because the number of hostages downstairs is relatively small, when they are operating, they will definitely allocate fewer people to control the 61st floor than on our floor! Moreover, in the actions of these terrorists, they actually have weaknesses!"
"oh?"
Yang Wei coughed, gasped and smiled, "Look, they blocked all the elevators and fire stairs... In other words, when we arrived downstairs and made a big fuss, the terrorists on our floor could not send people downstairs to replenish their staff! Do you understand what I mean? So, all we have to face is the enemy on the sixty-first floor. Don't worry about the people on the sixty-second floor going down to catch us!"
Then Yang Wei looked at me: "I just said that the layout of the floor downstairs is much more complicated. I suggest that after you go down, make some noise, try to delay time, and play hide-and-seek with the bandits. Your task is to attract their attention and as much as possible, and make more noise, and the farther away from us, the better! And we will quietly come to the other passage to dig holes while you are dealing with them! That's probably it."
I took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "Do you have any opinions?"
No one speaks.
Yang Wei's plan is very good. The original fatal point of our plan to break through is that after we dig to the next floor, we will be discovered immediately, which is something we cannot escape. However, Yang Wei gave up the idea of continuing to dig holes on the spot, and boldly proposed to "travel" the entire building to the other side to find another sealed passage!
No one objected again.
As for the two male guests, I only said to them: "If you want to leave, you can do whatever you want. But we are determined to leave! If you two are willing to stay here and wait for death, please!"
As a result, it goes without saying that people who are afraid of death always dare not leave the large army.
In the locker room, because the fire sprinkler was opened by us, the floor inside was already slippery! It was wet everywhere and the air in the room was damp.
I was holding a fire axe in my hand, Lei Xiaohu was holding the fire extinguishing cup as a tool, and Old Bruce had a pillar of a floor lamp, and the others could only stand in place to watch.
We searched the ground carefully, pushed open the bulky metal storage cabinets, and emptyed the middle ground of the room.
After knocking on the ground with the handle of the axe countless times, I finally found somewhere that sounded hollow. Then I carefully inserted the axe into the edge of the large tiles on the ground, and carefully pried the tiles up...
After digging out some filling materials, my axe finally hit the ground, making a crisp sound of metal hitting!
We finally found the sealed passageway! The passageway originally designed as a staircase is very wide, but is now locked by a steel plate door. I tried it and found that the steel plate door was indeed not welded to death, just locked on it with a pin lock attached to the ground!
He smashed the already rusty lock with an axe...
We made a sensation and pried open the rusted steel plate! Below is a layer of suspended ceiling! After pulling up the steel plate, I could see the various pipes, fire sprinkler pipes, air conditioning pipes, and ventilation pipes in the suspended ceiling below...
"Shh..." I suddenly turned around and made a sound ban!
At the same time, I listened to it...
Sure enough, under the ceiling, I could vaguely hear footsteps and the sound of people talking. They were two men... I am sure they were terrorists! Because they were not speaking English! And the sounds of these two footsteps were from far to near, and they seemed to be searching for something. Maybe they were alarmed by the sound of digging the floor!
With so many metal pipes in the ceiling, it is really easy to transmit sound.
"Are you ready?" Yang Wei whispered behind me: "You go down with Xiaohu... But you must kill them in the fastest way! You must be quick!"
I nodded, then suddenly raised my axe and pointed it at the ceiling below! At the same time, I flew into the entrance of the passage and smashed heavily into the ceiling!
First, I had an axe with all my strength, and the force I jumped down and deliberately smashed heavily, and a large ceiling below suddenly collapsed!
With a bang, I fell from the top of the ceiling. But I happened to smash a guy underneath!
It turned out that these two terrorists did not stand very close!
Another terrorist was standing about two meters away from me! He saw the ceiling suddenly collapse and pressed his companions down! In the dust, he saw a man on it!
Instinctively, he raised his gun at me! At this time, Lei Xiaohu had already fallen from the sky! He turned over and jumped on the terrorist's shoulder, rode on his neck, then grabbed his head with both hands and twisted it hard...
Kat!!
The terrorist fell down without even snorting!
When I got up from the ground, the unlucky guy below was already crushed to death, not knowing whether he was dead. I picked up his gun in a piece of debris, regardless of whether he was dead. I pulled out a dagger from his boots, and then scratched his neck and dealt with him directly.
Lei Xiaohu also picked up the gun, but it seemed that he was killing someone for the first time just now, his face was a little unnatural, and he couldn't help looking at me. I stared at him and lowered my voice and said, "What are you looking at! Now is not the time to be merciful!"
Others jumped down from above one after another, and I had already opened the ventilation ducts and let them crawl in from inside.
"Hurry! Hurry! If you don't want to die, go in!" I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the last person entered the ventilation duct.
The two terrorists on the ground were talking on the walkie-talkies, but there was no reply. Now I have heard someone running towards the inside!
This is a small tea room, with the surrounding walls and doors all said to be simple board or glass. There is no possibility of sticking to it.
Fortunately, Xiaohu and I finally got two guns!
"Yang Wei and the others are climbing north! Let's go south!"
I pulled Lei Xiaohu and rushed out of the room. As soon as I walked out, a shuttle of bullets rubbed my scalp and slashed over me!
I immediately rolled on the spot, and then I didn't stand up and raised my hand and shot it twice!
Bang bang! The bullet hit a terrorist rushing out towards him! But he was wearing a bulletproof vest, and his body was shaken and was hit hard. Then someone dragged him back.
Chapter completed!
