As if to confirm what Yang Wei said. After the police helicopter left, it didn't come back for a long time.
Everyone gathered around the window and looked down, while the police lights downstairs flickered, and there were countless crowds of onlookers on the street—of course, they were all far away from the police isolation zone.
"Today must be the craziest day in Hollywood history." Old Bruce muttered to himself, he shook his head and cursed in a low voice: "FUCK!"
Another quarter of an hour passed, and some people began to worry: "Why haven't the police acted yet? Aren't they going to rescue us?"
The other two male guests who escaped with us could not help cursing the slow efficiency of the Los Angeles police in a dissatisfied tone at this moment, and said that if they escaped from the trap, they would definitely complain strongly about the ineffectiveness of the police. The security department of the Torch Building has collapsed!
I have no doubt that the prominent identities of these two male guests will definitely be able to achieve this... But the problem is, now that we are still in the cage, these words inevitably lack confidence.
"Gentlemen." I glanced at everyone loudly: "Walking back and forth in such an anxious tone, it's better to sit down and maintain your strength first! God knows when we will get out of trouble!"
The two male guests looked at me dissatisfied, probably dissatisfied with my blunt tone, but old Bruce supported me: "Chen is right, we need to calm down now!"
I sneered a little in my heart. When there was no hope of getting out of trouble just now, these two guys still looked submissive, because they were just afraid at that time, and old Bruce and I were very calm, so they listened to us just now... But now, once there is a way out In order to hope, these people began to put on the airs of "superior people" again.
I ignored them and sat with Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu. Yang Wei's face was still a little flushed, I found that when she was silent, her brows were slightly frowned, and there was a somewhat uncomfortable expression on her face.
I asked her twice more, but she still said she was fine.
At this time, the woman sitting in front of the computer and controlling the laptop finally yelled: "The police have news! They have contacted us!!"
Everyone immediately surrounded the past in front of the computer.
"The other party gave me a URL, wait a minute... oh, this is a video call." The lady was operating the computer quickly, turned on the built-in camera and microphone at the same time, and then adjusted the screen to the maximum mode.
The screen flickered a little, but then became clear. In the picture, I saw a serious white man adjusting the camera. He was wearing a white shirt with shoulder straps and a holster under his armpit. Behind him was the street, and there were many busy policemen behind him. Police lights flash. From the sound of it, it was very noisy in his place.
Then, the man in the picture looked at the screen and said loudly in a serious voice: "Hello, I am the person in charge of the hostage rescue operation of the Los Angeles Police, Wen Lewis, you can call me Officer Lewis! Now we are Find a way to rescue everyone, but first I need to know your current specific situation... "
Before he finished speaking, immediately, the people around the computer desk began to make a lot of noise, some asked loudly when the police would come to save him, and some complained loudly...
Impatiently, I walked over and suddenly yelled: "Shut up the fuck!"
Then, one in each hand, I dragged the two men aside, then stood in front of the computer, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! If you do this again, I will shut you up!"
The scene where I led everyone to escape in the hall and fought the bandits at the same time still left a bit of prestige at this moment. The two men glanced at me with annoyed expressions, and finally fell silent.
The lady sitting in front of the computer glanced at me, and I nodded to her: "Let me say it! There are so many of us, and it's difficult for each of us to say a word."
Then I immediately said to the screen: "Officer Louis! I think the specific situation has been clearly stated when we called the police! We have twelve people here now, four women, eight men, one of the men The leg was shot and injured, but the main artery was not injured. We are temporarily out of the control of the robbers and are hiding in the security lounge on the 62nd floor. We blocked the door with some heavy objects, and believe that the robbers outside rushed temporarily. Don't come in. We have no food now, only a small amount of water. That's about it."
"Okay, thank you!" Police Officer Louis' expression calmed down a little, and he said slowly, "I still need to confirm your identities."
I took a deep breath and said quickly, "There is no time! There are twelve of us in total, three of them are waiters here, and nine of them are guests here! And... there is no time to check the time now... The notebook we are using now The computer was found in the security lounge. There is no charger, and the power of the computer can only last..." I looked at the lower right corner of the screen, and smiled bitterly: "It can only last for about half an hour... so we don't have time Nonsense, let’s get rid of those complicated procedures! I just want to ask, can you rescue us from here now?”
"Sir, please believe that the police are working hard!" Police Officer Louis said loudly: "Also, did you escape from the robbers? I need to know what's going on inside now..."
I understood this very well, and immediately said: "We are on the 62nd floor. As far as I know, there were originally 19 gangsters on the 62nd floor, all of whom had guns. Three of them were watching at the roof entrance of the building. The other 16 people are distributed in the hall and the surrounding corridors to guard the entrances and exits. There are 12 people in the hall and 4 people in the corridor outside." After a pause, I thought for a while and said: "In the hall, there were originally I personally killed one of the twelve bandits when we escaped just now. In addition, two others were wounded by me and my friends, and they probably have lost their ability to fight. Please, when calculating the strength of the bandits, put Taking this into account... Besides, all the hostages are in the hall. From their attire, I guess they sneaked in wearing waiter's clothes. All the weapons were brought in hidden in the food."
I thought for a while and said, "That's all I can think of now. If you still have any questions, you can ask more." I glanced at the battery display on the computer screen again: "...There are still twenty-eight minutes."
"Thank you!" Officer Louis said with a bit of respect in his tone: "You are very brave, sir."
Then he asked me two or three more questions, checking some of the details I knew about the robbers. Finally I asked: "I still want to ask, we are here now, can the police rescue us first? There is still a wounded person here... I don't know how long you will confront these bastards... Although this wounded person has been taken by us A bandage was done to stop the bleeding, but I don't think he can last for too long."
"We're trying our best!" Police Officer Louis hesitated for a moment. He looked at me, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I think it's better for me to tell the truth... Well, just now, our people tried to land on the rooftop, but the leader of the robbers Warn us immediately, as soon as a policeman steps foot on the roof, he will immediately start shooting hostages... Whether his threats are true or not, but we can't take risks... I'm really sorry, so we can't rescue you immediately... But I suggest you stay here, because it seems that your location is safe at present. We will attract the attention of the bandits outside, and they should not have the strength to break through your door."
Sure enough... as Yang Wei expected.
Even though I had expected it, I couldn't help being a little disappointed. After hearing his explanation, the other people behind were naturally even more disappointed! Someone wanted to scream and roar again, but I suppressed it with my cold eyes.
"... There are still twenty-five minutes." I took a deep breath: "I think if possible, let's end our conversation here first. In order to save power, let's turn off the call first. I suggest that we Call once an hour, count from now... At the same time, I hope you will send someone to stand in front of your computer at any time, because in case we encounter urgent matters here, we can contact you at any time... Because our battery is limited, and you don't have it kind of problem."
"Okay!" Police Officer Louis gave me a solemn look: "Take care! We will try our best to rescue you as soon as possible!"
Immediately after the call was over, I immediately switched the computer to power-saving mode, and the screen went black.
No matter how other people behind me complain, I don't care. Walking to Yang Wei's side, he sighed: "Sure enough, it's exactly what you thought."
Yang Wei shook her head, she frowned thinking about something, but didn't speak.
I glanced at Jessica, she was obviously helpless. She came with me. But obviously, my relationship with Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu is closer, and we even use Chinese when we speak. Jessica sat beside her, a little dazed.
I smiled at her: "Jess, come on, sit down, we need to maintain our strength and take a rest."
Although I smiled peacefully, my heart is not easy...
