Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of emergency brakes in front of the hotel. The doorman who had received Xu Zhe wanted to go forward to greet him, but after blinking twice, he realized that there were a number of mighty military vehicles in front of him.
Before he could fully react, all the doors of the car opened quickly. The neatly-organized soldiers rushed out of the car, aiming their guns horizontally, and poured into the hotel lobby like a flood. It was as if everyone along the way had appeared in their sights. Any overreaction would lead to tragic consequences...
Fortunately, everything happened so quickly that both the receptionist, the security guard, and the guests all stood there in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Everyone get down, don't move." Mu Ming, who came in later, helped them make the choice. As soon as the order was given in the hall, everyone immediately lay on the ground with their hands behind their heads.
Maybe people have watched a lot of bank robbery movies. All the actors' movements are very standard and they act like captives in a very professional manner.
"Team one goes up the stairs on the left, team two goes up the stairs on the right, team three controls the lobby, team four seals off and inspects the parking lot below, and report anything suspicious immediately. You guys follow me..." Mu Ming's entire order took less than ten seconds to give, and the operational procedures were already clear and complete.
Mu Ming walked forward quickly, holding a pistol in one hand, and took the four people to the elevator. The battle began from now on...
"Everyone, check your equipment for the last time. Remember, don't treat the target person as an ordinary enemy. He has an extremely cunning mind and agile skills. Pay attention to every detail and don't ignore any of them. If the target resists, kill him immediately." Standing in the ascending elevator, the final instructions were conveyed through the wireless headset.
With a ding, Mu Ming reached the first floor, and the soldiers coming up the stairs arrived almost at the same time. The height of the thirty-eight floors could actually "race" with the elevator, which showed that Mu Ming's men were no ordinary people.
The so-called floor actually only has one room, and the gorgeous snow-white door distinguishes it from ordinary guest rooms.
More than 20 soldiers quickly deployed in the corridor. Their light footsteps would scare even a cat. There was not a single sound; the silence was terrifying.
Leaning against the door, he tightened his grip on the gun. He took a deep breath and looked at the soldier on the other side. Mu Ming only communicated with his eyes, and the other party understood what he meant.
He raised three fingers, reducing one finger every second until he clenched his fist again. The soldier leaning against the side was about to step forward and knock on the door, but the reaction in the room was faster and more violent than his...
"BOOM!!!!!!!" A loud bang shook the entire hotel. Flames poured out of the windows and could be seen clearly even ten kilometers away. The glass windows on half of the building were destroyed by the explosion, and countless fragments fell from the sky like rain.
Looking at the corridor again, the shock made everyone fall to the ground, unconscious.
Supporting his shaking body, Mu Ming stood up. The wise and heroic aura just now was gone, his body was covered with dust and debris, and his handsome face was smoked into a "black" color.
The sprinkler system on the ceiling was activated, and an indoor rain washed away the ruins left by the explosion.
"Sir! Sir! Please reply!" The subordinate in the headset looked anxious and didn't know what was going on.
"We are fine. Stay at your posts and stabilize the situation." Mu Ming's voice was a reassurance, and the subordinates who had planned to come up returned to their positions.
He walked slowly into the room. The original magnificent appearance was no longer there. There were only wreckage in the room.
Whether it was fingerprints or hair, all evidence of existence was buried by the charred debris. "Xu Zhe, I wonder how long you can hide?" You Muming squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and clenched his hands at his sides into fists, shaking slightly uncontrollably.
At the same time, on a wide road in the distance, a black station wagon was driving steadily.
Leaning against the rear window, Xu Zhe could clearly see the explosion in the room he once lived in. The fire burned the balcony where he had rested, and from a distance it looked like a torch.
"Mu Ming has found our room... half an hour faster than I expected..." Xu Zhe said softly, as a kind of affirmation to Mu Ming.
"That guy must be so angry when he sees the ruins." Tiechui smiled proudly, as if he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"We must find a way to hide quickly, otherwise we will be found soon." What Haozi saw was different. From Xu Zhe's words, he knew that the guy was more dangerous than before.
"Next." Xu Zhe rummaged through the backpack at the back of the car and threw the black objects to his companions. Even Wu Qian, who was driving, took her share.
"What is this for?" Wu Qian couldn't help asking, holding the steering wheel with one hand. Because in her hand was an Uzi submachine gun, which was about the same size as a pistol, but the amount of bullets it could carry and the rate of fire were incomparable to a pistol.
"Protect yourself." Xu Zhe's explanation couldn't be simpler.
"Fool, Mu Ming brought here a troop, and they are all equipped for fighting. What you have in your hand is just a slightly better 'toy'..." Tiechui said disdainfully. Although he had specially taken two swords, he still looked dissatisfied.
There was no other way. In order to hide better, he couldn't carry larger firearms. Otherwise, with the boss's charge of "lost ammunition", Xu Zhe wouldn't find it difficult to get a rocket launcher.
"Don't be too nervous, this is just in case. It's unlikely that you will actually run into them if you follow Xu Zhe." Haozi comforted the people in the car, but Xu Zhe didn't have any firm expression that was particularly trustworthy.
After all, he is an expert in dealing with monsters, and dealing with humans is just an "elective course" in his spare time.
The car was always driving on non-main roads to turn off the surveillance systems that can be seen everywhere on the streets.
"Right here..." Suddenly, the car turned into an alley, and Xu Zhe, who had been silent all the time, finally gave the "order".
Wu Qian stepped on the brakes without hesitation, feeling as if her life was in Xu Zhe's hands and she had to obey his orders.
The four people who were escaping got out of the new car that they had just bought a few days ago, and followed Xu Zhe with big bags on their backs and started wandering around in the alley.
I don't know how long I walked, nor where I ended up. I just felt that the scenery around me had left behind the skyscrapers of modern civilization, and it seemed to have returned to what it was forty years ago, with a sense of historical vicissitudes.
It was obvious that Xu Zhe was not here to take everyone on a tour. They left this intricate alley through an exit and were faced with an empty road.
After taking a quick look around, Xu Zhe's gaze fixed on an object and did not move.
“That’s it…” Xu Zhe walked towards the direction he liked, where a dirt-gray van was parked.
"You have already arranged replacement transportation?!" Wu Qian sincerely admired Xu Zhe's foresight.
"Do you think I'm a fortune teller? This car was prepared by someone else..." Xu Zhe never thought that he would be tracked down by someone of Mu Ming's level.
"Did someone else prepare it?" Just when Wu Qian didn't understand, Xu Zhe took out a clever safety pin from his pocket.
So, in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of his companions, Xu Zhe performed a brilliant theft technique.
The whole process took less than 40 seconds and the solid car door was shoveled open, and there was no sign of damage from the outside.
"You actually stole a car?!" Wu Qian was speechless. She also blamed herself. She should have thought that Xu Zhe would not do anything good.
"Get in the car. There's no way to be picky while we're on the run." Tiechui was the first to get on the car, and Haozi followed indifferently, as if conscience had long disappeared from their hearts
Having no choice but to board the "pirate ship", Wu Qian was about to ask how to ignite, but Xu Zhe, who was sitting on the side, had already removed two wires and struck sparks. It was also in this flower light that Lao Jiu's engine finally ignited.
Driving a stolen car, Xu Zhe and his crew began their escape journey again.
"Listen everyone, from now on, our opponent is not only Yaqi..." Sitting in the "new car", Xu Zhe seemed to be much more energetic. "From this moment on, the pace of action will change. Every 3 to 24 hours, we must either change or grab a means of transportation. And each time we change or grab a place, it must be two kilometers away from the last parking location of the vehicle.
Also, it is forbidden to act alone..."
"Then what about going to the toilet?" Wu Qian was not trying to cause trouble on purpose, she really didn't know.
Xu Zhe approached the girl next to him very seriously and said in a serious tone, "When you go to the toilet, I will personally stand guard for you."
"These are not a problem. I'm wondering if I can escape for another 10 days?" Tiechui's voice became more and more questioning, as if he felt that he had said something wrong.
"If the mouse's program is correct, the whole city will be in chaos by tomorrow at the latest, and it will not be easy to find us then.
"Don't worry, not everyone can appreciate my 'work'." Haozi was completely relieved.
This is indeed the case. The program, which is only a dozen KB in size, has successfully invaded the huge computer system of the Earthquake Bureau and modified the data according to a pre-set pattern.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the only person on duty in the lobby of the Earthquake Bureau was a new employee.
Monotonous and boring work is not something that many people like. The repetitive process every day is dealing with piles of complex data. How can it be described as depressing
Crossing their legs on the wide workbench, leaning against the extremely comfortable sofa chair, listening to Jay Chou's hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, the new employees really feel like the monkey is the king when the tiger is away.
But this peace did not last long. Right at the employee's feet, a quiet red light suddenly started flashing.
The beeping sound of the reminder makes the tone of the sound weird...
I took off my headphones reluctantly and started to use the computer while yawning. Unfortunately, I yawned only halfway when I was scared back by what I saw.
He picked up the phone beside him in a panic, dropped the receiver several times, and dialed the wrong number no less than ten times before he finally got through to the director.
"What's the matter?" When he saw that it was the bureau's phone number, the director who was already asleep didn't get angry.
"Director... Director... Director!" The employees were sweating profusely. "Something bad is happening!"
"Hurry up, why are you so nervous?" The director is the director, he is much calmer.
"The data shows that the earth's crust has suddenly begun to move and an earthquake is developing." Wiping the sweat off his head, the employee reported what he knew.
"In what area? What level does the computer predict?" The director became visibly nervous.
"The region is the central region, and the level... the conclusion given by the computer is... ten... ten levels." Even the employee who made the report could not believe the data in his hands.
After putting the director down, the director, who was over 60 years old, jumped out of bed and rushed to the door in his loose pajamas.
"My dear, please put on some clothes. What's the hurry?" The gentle wife chased him out the door with her coat.
"There's not even enough time to get dressed! It's going to kill people!!!" The director yelled angrily, rushed into the stairs, and hurried towards the headquarters.
By the time the director arrived at the bureau, most of the staff had arrived, and most of them were dressed in pajamas.
The work hall was already in a mess, with people in slippers and leather shoes walking back and forth, holding thick data files in their hands. The noise was as deafening as a stock market...
A researcher in charge noticed the director's arrival and rushed to him in two steps. However, after more than ten minutes, he was already sweating profusely.
"Li, tell me what happened?" the director asked seriously.
"Director, this is a big move! An hour ago, the observation system around WUHAN sent back information that the crustal movement has broken through the warning line, and the speed of movement is also increasing exponentially. We have reviewed all the recent monitoring data on this area, and the movement actually started before 28:00. But the movement was extremely slow and intermittent, so it did not attract the attention of the system. Now it is speculated that the earthquake will actually break out at 12 a.m. after the 10th, and it will be the largest earthquake currently recorded." Li's report was clear and concise, and the director felt dizzy after hearing it.
"What have we done wrong? Is this God's punishment for humanity?" The director sighed helplessly, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
