After the call, I turned off the computer.
The words of Police Officer Louis shocked everyone greatly, and at the same time brought fear to everyone! Originally, these people thought it was "safe" to hide here, at least for the time being.
But now it seems that there is speculation about "terrorists" and whether they will take extreme suicide attacks. These have brought unknown fears to everyone-although, these are only at the level of speculation, and there is no evidence to prove them.
"Hey!" It was a male guest who spoke first... In fact, I was already full of disgust for these two male guests. At this time, he pulled his throat like a drake and said excitedly: "I see that guy It's scaremongering! Look, he's just a cop! That's just speculation! We don't have any proof that those guys out there would go out of their way to kill everyone - including themselves! Nobody would kill themselves like that... I Don’t believe that policeman! This is simply random speculation! We should be safe hiding here!”
His voice trembled and he spoke loudly, but he was not very confident. And rather than convincing others, these words are trying to comfort himself. Unfortunately, it seems that other people agree 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 true, right!"
As he spoke, he looked at everyone, as if hoping to find support for his views.
"I also think it's a risk." Then Old Bruce also sighed, his face was very gloomy: "Now I can be sure that these people outside are terrorists... But I personally don't think what the police officer Louis said just now Believe it completely... You see, if we listen to him, we are going to take a risk! And at great risk! And remember... once we start the adventure, there is no turning back! You know, once the floor is gouged through , It means that we have given up the environment that we can stick to now! The floor that has been cut through can’t be blocked! If our adventure fails, those guys can catch us!—And now, at least we are here, and we are still safe of."
I didn't say anything, I just looked at them, at these people. The three waiters didn't speak, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to be obviously hesitant... As for the ladies, except that Yang Wei was on my side, even Jessica was a little hesitant.
I know very well that this is probably the weakness of human nature: in a relatively safe environment, no one would choose to risk his life when the situation is uncertain.
"Bruce!" I looked at old Bruce and said in a deep voice, "I know, it's very difficult to make this kind of decision. But don't you think it's just an unfounded assumption now? Damn it... would you be with those people? Bureaucratic like the FBI? You think the worst thing can happen?"
"...At least, at present, these people's demands are only to blackmail the authorities to release their accomplices." Old Bruce hesitated.
"Aha!" I laughed deliberately, then stared at him, and asked: "Then, let me ask you, even if their purpose is really what you said. If the authorities do not compromise and refuse to release him, what should we do?" ?” I glanced at him, stopped his intention to speak, and continued: “Okay! Even if the authorities have to compromise because of the captured hostages, the leaders of the terrorist organizations are released. But... now we How do these terrorists in this building retreat? In the end, when the net is broken, who can guarantee that they will not die together?"
No one spoke.
After all, their lives are their own.
I looked at them, mainly at old Bruce, and continued: "Then let me ask you again... You see, the policeman told us just now that these terrorists possess a nerve gas called TG23! This kind of thing It should be considered a weapon of mass destruction, right? Damn it! Do you know how difficult it is to obtain such a weapon? In order to intimidate the police?" I stared at Old Bruce: "If it's just for the purpose of taking hostages and forcing the authorities to release the leader of the terrorist organization, then it is enough for them to take hostages with ordinary guns! It is necessary to spend so much money to get them Is this a powerful lethal weapon? So, there is only one conclusion... These people must be planning to use this weapon!!"
Finally, I looked at these people: "If you are going to stay here and die... then I'm sorry, I don't intend to accompany you!"
After speaking, I called Lei Xiaohu and asked him to pass me the fire axe, and then I was ready to go into the locker room to dig the floor. And the two male guests suddenly yelled and stopped me: "Damn! What are you trying to do! Once you cut through the floor, they can attack from downstairs! You want to kill yourself, but don't hurt everyone! !"
In desperation, the two came up to tangle with me.
At this time, my heart was already on fire, looking at these two guys who had already made me very uncomfortable... Damn, do I really regard Lao Tzu as a vegetarian Bodhisattva? I'm the boss of the underworld who has done everything from murder to arson! I'm in a hurry, I don't want the terrorists to do it, I will chop the two of them one by one!
I raised the ax in my hand, and with a murderous look on my face, I shouted, "Get out of the way!"
One guy suddenly softened and took a few steps back, while the other guy hesitated a little and was kicked on the ground by me, and then I slashed at his head with an ax... Accompanied by his scream, The ax hit the floor against his scalp. The man rolled his eyes in fright and almost fainted.
I ignored these people and walked into the locker room with an ax in my hand. Old Bruce suddenly shouted from behind: "Wait!"
Seeing him following, I frowned: "Bruce, are you going to stop me?"
"No..." He hesitated for a moment: "I think what you said is also reasonable... It's just that this matter is too critical. We need to plan it... because once things start, there is no chance of turning back! We need to be more sure !"
"Bruce!"
It was Old Bruce's young female companion named Monica who spoke suddenly this time. She walked over and said in a low voice: "I also think what this Mr. Chen said is very reasonable. I also think that staying here may be more dangerous, so..."
"...Okay!" Old Bruce finally nodded, and he said with difficulty: "But we must first think of a way... It is not a good choice to go on so recklessly."
I didn't say anything more, as long as he didn't object. In fact, what he said is also reasonable. We really need to make a plan. It is not a good idea to rush forward rashly.
"Mr. Willis." Yang Wei said suddenly, "I do have a plan."
Everyone looked at Yang Wei, she was short of breath, but her eyes were calm: "If all of us rush down, we will definitely end up dead! We don't have weapons, and the opponent is a fully armed terrorist. We can't They drilled through the floor of the 61st floor downstairs! So, we have only one choice... we must find a way to distract most of the attention of those terrorists on the 61st floor! So, my plan is …”
She slowly came to the table, took out a piece of paper and drew roughly: "Look, the 61st floor is different from the 62nd floor we are on now. We are the convention center on the top floor. In the middle is a large exhibition hall, surrounded by a circle of corridors, toilets, lounges and so on. The layout of the downstairs floor is not like this. The downstairs is a large service area, that is, all There are many rooms, many dressing rooms, and some small rehearsal rooms, and even a small stage in the 'backstage area' of the performance show. From the distribution point of view, the layout downstairs is more complicated. At the same time... also It is more suitable for hiding. And you must know that there were many hostages on the first floor downstairs, dozens of models, entertainers, and several big-name female stars! There are also some makeup artists and stylists! These people added Up to now, there are probably dozens of people! To control these hostages, these terrorists must leave at least three to four people to guard them. Our problem is that we don’t know which room the gangsters are holding the hostages in... Here we still have We need to take a gamble! Because if we are unlucky, the room where the hostage is controlled by the other party happens to be right under our feet... Then, I am afraid that we will have to face heavily armed terrorists as soon as we go down here! We can only pray to God for help on this.”
When Yang Wei said this, Jessica suddenly said: "This, it shouldn't be possible."
Her words caught everyone's attention. Jessica thought for a while and said, "It's not the first time I've been here, and I've also participated in a show here. The big 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 below us.”
"Very good." Yang Wei took a deep breath, and I found that her breathing suddenly became very short... It was a short but very weak feeling, and the number of times she took deep breaths began to increase, but she continued: "Then our The first problem is solved. The next thing is... When we are digging the floor, there must be a sound! At this time, according to my guess, the other party will definitely send someone to look for the sound. Do you understand? They will Heard voices, but they don't know what we are doing! So they won't send everyone... Maybe they will send one or two people to check... This is our chance, I need Chen Yang and Xiaohu first Go on. Because the skills of the two of you are the best! Only the two of you can deal with the terrorists who came to check as soon as possible... I know it is dangerous, but I trust the skills of the two of you!"
"But..." Old Bruce said, "But, even if Chen and his friend can kill the terrorists who came to check immediately, there will be some movement! We have already been exposed, how can we continue on the 61st floor downstairs?" Dig a hole? You know, there are no solid walls and gates like this place downstairs! We can’t continue digging holes in this place below! Because terrorists will come.”
"No!" Yang Wei said decisively: "We are not digging holes in this place below!" She seemed to smile: "Didn't you hear what Police Officer Louis said just now? On the 63rd floor, two passages are designed on each floor! In other words, the 61st floor below us, besides the place under our feet, there is another place where we can dig holes!! Officer Louis just now By the way, there are two lounges on each floor, each with a stairway! We can dig a hole from another place!"
"But we don't know where the other passage is." Old Bruce asked.
"Don't forget, it turned out to be 'two lounges, each with a stair passage up and down'. According to the general layout design, the two lounges should be symmetrically located on both sides of the building! That is to say, the two The sealed passages for going up and down the stairs should also be symmetrical! The passage here is on the east side of the building, so it is very simple, the other passage should be on the west side! As long as we keep in mind the principle of distance and symmetry , then knowing the position of the passage under our feet, it is easy to calculate the position of another passage! Isn’t it?”
Yang Wei said while pointing to the top of his head: "Everyone saw that the top of the head is a ventilation duct, enough for one person to crawl in it! My plan is, after we go down in a while, Chen Yang and his friend, Mr. Lei Xiaohu, they The two go down first, and kill the terrorists sent by the other party to check on our movements! And the action must be fast! Then, the rest of us immediately got in through the ventilation duct! According to the principle of symmetry, we quietly crawled to the other passage Location!! At the same time, Chen Yang, I need you and Lei Xiaohu to make as much noise as possible to attract the terrorists on the other side! According to my estimation, the terrorists downstairs should be bigger than ours. There are fewer people! Because the number of hostages downstairs is relatively small, when they carry out operations, the number of people assigned to control the 61st floor must be less than ours! Moreover, in the actions of these terrorists In fact, they also have weaknesses!"
"oh?"
Yang Wei coughed, took a breath, and said with a smile: "Look, they sealed off the elevators and the fire stairs... That is to say, when we went downstairs and made a scene, the terrorists on our floor , can’t send people downstairs to replenish the manpower! Do you understand what I mean? So, what we have to face is only the enemy on the sixty-first floor, don’t worry about the people on the sixty-second floor going down to arrest us!”
Then Yang Wei looked at me: "As I said just now, the layout of the downstairs floor is much more complicated. I suggest that after you go down, make some noise, delay as much as possible, and play hide-and-seek with those gangsters." .Your task is to attract their attention and as many people as possible, and make more noise, more noise, and as far away from us as possible!! And we, while you deal with them, will quietly Come to the location of the other passage to dig a hole! That’s probably it.”
I took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "Do you have any opinions?"
No one spoke.
Yang Wei's plan is very good, the root cause of our breakout plan is that we will be discovered immediately after digging to the next floor, which cannot be avoided. But Yang Wei gave up the plan to continue digging holes in the same place, but boldly proposed to "cross" the entire building to the other side to find another sealed passage!
No further objections were raised.
As for the two male guests, I just said to them: "It's up to you whether you want to go or not. But we have decided to go! If the two of you are willing to stay here to die, then please go!"
As a result, needless to say, people who are afraid of death are always afraid to leave the main force.
…
In the locker room, because the fire sprinkler was turned on by us, the floor inside was already wet and slippery! Everywhere is wet and the air in the room is humid.
I held the fire ax in my hand, Lei Xiaohu held the fire extinguisher as a tool, Old Bruce held a floor lamp post, and the others had to stand and watch.
We scoured the floor carefully and pushed away the heavy metal lockers to free the middle floor of the room.
After knocking on the ground countless times with the handle of the axe, I finally found a place where the knocking sound sounded hollow, and then carefully inserted the ax into the edge of the large floor tile on the ground, and carefully pried the floor tile away stand up…
After digging out some more fill material, my ax finally hit the ground with a crisp sound of metal crashing!
We finally found the sealed passageway! The passageway, which was originally designed as a staircase, was very wide, but now it was locked by a steel plate door. I tried it, and found that the steel plate door was not welded, it was just locked with a bolt lock against the ground!
Break open the already rusty lock with an ax...
We ping-pong-pong and pried away the rusted steel plate! Below is a suspended ceiling! After pulling up the steel plate, I can already directly see the various pipes in the ceiling below, fire sprinkler pipes, air conditioning pipes, ventilation pipes...
"Hush..." I suddenly turned around and made a silent movement!
At the same time I listened to the past...
Sure enough, under the suspended ceiling, the sound of footsteps and someone's voice could be vaguely heard. It's two men... I'm pretty sure they're terrorists! Because they don't speak English! And the sound of these two footsteps came from far to near, as if they were searching for something. It was probably alarmed by the sound of us digging the floor!
There are so many metal pipes in the ceiling, it is really easy to transmit sound.
"Are you ready?" Yang Wei whispered behind me: "You and Xiaohu go down together...but you must kill them in the fastest way! You must be quick!"
I nodded, then suddenly raised the axe, and hit the ceiling below! At the same time, I flew from the entrance of the passage, and smashed heavily towards the ceiling!
First, I hit the ax with all my strength, and then I jumped down and deliberately smashed down heavily. Suddenly, a large piece of the ceiling below collapsed!
With a bang, I fell from the ceiling. But it happened to smash a guy under it!
It turned out that the two terrorists were not standing very close together!
Another terrorist was standing about two meters away from me! He watched as the ceiling suddenly collapsed and crushed his companion under it! Among the dust, I saw a man on it!
Instinctively, he raised his gun at me! And at this time, Lei Xiaohu had already fallen from the sky! He turned over and jumped on the shoulder of the terrorist, riding his whole body on his neck, then grabbed his head with both hands, and twisted it hard...
Click! !
The terrorist fell down without even making a sound!
When I got up from the ground, the unlucky guy below had been crushed and passed out, and I didn't know if he was dead or not. I picked up his gun in the debris, didn't care if he was dead or not, pulled a dagger out of his boot, and slashed across his neck, killing him straight away.
Lei Xiaohu also picked up the gun, but it seemed that he had killed someone for the first time just now, his expression was a little unnatural, and he couldn't help but look at me. I stared at him and said in a low voice, "What are you looking at! Now is not the time to be soft-hearted!"
Others jumped down from the top one after another. I had already opened the ventilation duct and let them crawl in from inside.
"Quick, quick! Quick! Get in if you don't want to die!" I was relieved to see that the last people had entered the ventilation duct.
The walkie-talkie on the two terrorists who died on the ground had been talking just now, but since there was no answer, now I have heard someone running towards the inside from the outside!
This is a small tea room, and the surrounding walls and doors are said to be made of simple boards or glass. There is no possibility of holding on at all.
Fortunately, Xiaohu and I finally got two guns now!
"Yang Wei and the others are heading north! Let's go south!"
I pulled Lei Xiaohu and rushed out of this room. As soon as I walked out, a shuttle of bullets grazed my scalp and slashed past!
I immediately rolled on the spot, and then shot twice without raising my hand!
bang bang! The bullet hit a terrorist rushing forward! But he was wearing a bulletproof vest, and he just swayed and was knocked down, and then someone dragged him back.
"Xiaohu! Check the two corpses inside to see if they have grenades!" I turned around and shouted, while I dodged in a corner and hid behind the wall.
