The power system was interrupted and the hall was plunged into darkness. The only thing that could be seen was the flames burning on the platform directly above the hall. Burning droplets dripped from the edge of the platform from time to time, and the thick burning smoke hung densely above the hall like a dark cloud that would not go away.
"Cough, cough..." Norman pushed away the stone slab pressing on his chest and raised his body with a rifle with difficulty.
The polyethylene bulletproof plate on his chest was dented and cracked, pressing against his sternum. He reached out and pressed on his left arm to bring up the holographic screen, and clicked to remove the front armor. There was a hissing sound of air filling, and he forcefully pulled off the bulletproof plate on his chest.
There was dust everywhere.
"Garrett!"
After catching his breath, Norman opened the visor of his helmet, straightened up and shouted.
"Damn it! Bill!"
"Ahem, I'm not dead yet, here."
The sound came from the communication screen.
Hearing the sound, Norman immediately turned on his tactical flashlight, searched around, and soon saw the hand standing upright in the rubble.
Running forward with the rifle in hand, Norman used his hands to peel away the stone that was pressing on Bill's body and free Bill from it. Under the driving force of the mechanical exoskeleton, this weight is nothing at all.
"Shet, my leg will be disabled if you press it for a while." Sitting on the side, Bill gritted his teeth and removed the armor of the deformed right leg.
During this period of time, Norman rescued three more comrades one after another, but no matter how hard he searched, he could not find Captain Garrett.
"Garrett!... Damn it, where are you!"
The life signal detection device was on the captain, and it happened to be the captain who was missing. Norman anxiously searched the captain's previous location, but the shock wave of the explosion had blown Garrett to nowhere. Not to mention the location, I don’t even know whether I’m alive or dead!
"What about the mission!"
"Bill, you take Sean and Freddy to the captain's room, Jim and I stay here to find the captain!"
"Okay!" Bill nodded and gestured to his comrades.
"etc!"
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful on the road," Norman looked into his eyes and said seriously, "our enemies are not just zombies-"
Several figures suddenly flashed in at the door, and Norman, Bill and others immediately raised their rifles.
The two teams aimed at each other.
The tactical flashlight under the muzzle of the gun made him narrow his eyes, unable to see who was at the door.
At this moment, a hoarse electric sound came from the communication screen.
"One of our own."
Norman was startled, immediately checked the green dot on the map, and then lowered the rifle in his hand.
It seemed that they were unconscious for a while after the explosion, and while they were unconscious, the reinforcements from Star Ring Trade had arrived.
Judging from the digital camouflage mechanical exoskeleton, the opponent is indeed a member of the Marine Corps, the main combat unit of Star Ring Trade. Norman, like Captain Garrett, was transferred from the Marine Corps to the rapid reaction force, so he was familiar with this force.
But what he didn't expect was that behind the troops, he saw an unexpected person.
Jiang Chen!
The boss of Star Ring Trading! Actually appear here
The soldiers who entered the hall were divided into two teams. One team turned on the life detection device and joined the search and rescue work, while the other team stayed beside Jiang Chen.
Protected by more than a dozen Marines, Jiang Chen walked up to Norman.
Norman put down his rifle, stood up straight and gave a military salute.
"What happened?" Jiang Chen glanced at the debris on the ground and asked in a deep voice.
"We broke into the hall and cleaned up the zombies. The captain heard the cry for help and walked over to take a look. As a result, a bomb was detonated." Norman reported immediately.
Jiang Chen nodded and said nothing more, but looked at the platform directly above the hall.
The interior decoration was ignited, and the fire had begun to spread. Even though he was dozens of meters away, he could still clearly feel the rising heat wave.
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed, shook his head, and muttered to himself.
"It seems that my method is still too merciful."
"Sir?" Norman asked doubtfully.
"Nothing. I just think that some villains should be treated like zombies. Shoot them before they cause more harm, regardless of the consequences, and stop their heartbeats. Sergeant Norman, do you agree with me? Viewpoint?”
Jiang Chen has never taken Black Ship too seriously. In other words, even if I took it to heart, I didn't put too much energy into investigating.
Takeda Pharmaceutical is a Japanese company and has a good status in Japan. However, the risk of conducting military operations in developed countries is very high, not to mention that it has already been involved in investigations. Spanking his son was his father's business, so Jiang Chen didn't care about it. Although a ghost agent was dispatched, she was never authorized to carry out illegal espionage activities such as arrests and infiltrations. She was simply collecting intelligence...
Originally, he thought that the "Black Ship" would be restrained by the Japanese government, but he was wrong.
Although Kurofune is attached to Japan, it is obviously not completely obedient to Japan's orders.
In the final analysis, it is unrealistic to expect a group of terrorists who are destroying all mankind to listen to human commands and be able to assess the situation and restrain themselves. No matter from any perspective, it is unrealistic.
Soon, Marines pulled Garrett out of the rubble.
"Are you still alive?" Jiang Chen asked.
"The life signal is complete, but he is very weak and needs emergency medical treatment." the soldier carrying the stretcher replied.
"Go quickly."
"yes!"
The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The soldiers guarding Jiang Chen took two steps forward and whispered beside Jiang Chen.
"The fire is out of control, sir, please retreat."
Jiang Chen nodded, said nothing, turned and left.
Under the escort of a group of soldiers, Jiang Chen returned to the helicopter. Looking at the cruise ship from a distance, I saw that the fire had filled the middle of the cruise ship, and the entire cruise ship was like an alcohol lamp floating on the sea.
More than two hundred survivors huddled on the deck of the rescue ship. There was no joy in surviving the disaster on their faces, only deep fear.
Three thousand tourists originally bought boat tickets to enjoy their vacation, but they did not expect to encounter such a hellish horror on the windy and beautiful Pacific Ocean.
The child lay on her mother's body and cried loudly, while the man patted the woman's back gently and said words that could not even comfort him. Medical staff shuttled around the deck, checking the bodies of these people and injecting them with the anti-T virus vaccine produced by Future Human Biotechnology...
The evacuation was successful and there were injuries, but no fatal injuries.
The worst thing about it was the sergeant named Garrett. His spine was injured by the explosion, and he may have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair...
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and if the fuel tank is burned, the cruise ship is likely to explode. In order to avoid being affected, helicopters and rescue boats evacuated immediately after completing the evacuation work.
Jiang Chen looked expressionlessly at the cruise ship that was gradually moving away. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
After answering the call, Jiang Chen put the phone to his ear.
"Hello."
"One of the survivors was a man named Zhu Tianyou. When we found him, he was tied up in a bathtub with water. He was already unconscious when he was rescued because it was suspected that he might be related to this terrorist attack. Our medical staff provided intensive care to him."
"You did a good job. Send him to Crescent Island and I will ask him personally."
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen didn't put away his phone, but called Aisha.
"Tell us about the ghost agents in Japan. Within a week, I hope to see the president of Takeda Pharmaceutical appear in the interrogation room on Crescent Island." (.)
