The surrounding dense forest suddenly heard the "rustling" sound of leaves being flipped, and someone was slowly approaching the dilapidated building.
Mingshu was very vigilant, and sweat dripped from his forehead. Judging from the sound of footsteps, there should be not many people coming. There were about seven people wearing leather boots similar to Xun Xiaoyun.
"Don't be nervous, they are just mercenaries I hired." Xun Xiaoyun smiled, "If you are obedient, act like a bug and show me your inner struggles, they won't do anything to you."
Mingshu glanced at the corner of his eye, and saw two men in camouflage have turned in through the window, and behind them were four men in the same dress. These people are not tall, about 1.7 meters or so, which is in line with the average height of men in this area. The camouflage is not standard, and the guns are not made in China. It seems that Xiangshan City has swept away gangs in the past few years. Although gangs do not exist on the bright side, some people have fled to the mountains or outside the country and transformed themselves into mercenaries.
If no one else is ambushing outside, then with Xun Xiaoyun, there are seven opponents. Mingshu calmly observed their standing posture and the gesture of holding the gun, and secretly knew something in his heart - these people have weapons, and they dare to accept anything for money. They must have killed people in the past, and have experience in gunfights, but in combat Not professional.
But in any case, the opponent has the advantage in numbers, and the bullets don't have long eyes, if you are unlucky...
Mingshu took a slow and deep breath, his concentration was highly concentrated, and the next layer of clothing was already wet with sweat.
"You have two choices." Xun Xiaoyun said in an extremely arrogant tone: "Go up and remove the bomb on Xiang Lin, and take him out of here. I promise, in the process of you disarming the bomb and taking Xiang Lin away , my mercenaries and I will not point guns at your head."
"But..." Xun Xiaoyun said with a smile, "that bomb has a special setting. It has a transfer trigger inside. You can only dismantle it there, and you can't take Xiang Lin away before dismantling it. In addition, the bomb has a time limit, and once the time limit is up, it will be released. Blast. And I can advance the time limit."
Ming Shu's eyebrows trembled indistinctly.
"Afraid?" Xun Xiaoyun said, "Think I will suddenly activate the bomb when you defuse it? Well... I really want to do that. Then guess what, will I activate it in advance when you defuse it?"
Xiang Lin's cry came from upstairs again, as if he was saying - help me, I don't want to die.
"The second option." Xun Xiaoyun continued: "You leave now. I swear not to stop you, and you can only watch Xiang Lin get killed."
Mingshu opened his eyes and clenched his posterior molars subconsciously.
"Your criminal police colleague will never know that you let an innocent person be killed, only I know." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes flashed with pride, "Of course, you can't take me away either."
"Old classmate, how do you choose? I was the only one who could save Xiang Haoming at the beginning. What you found was Xiang Haoming's body. You lost to me. You couldn't save your son, but now you can save me?"
The statue of the abandoned building was suddenly pushed into the water and became silent, Ming Shuwei could hear his heartbeat.
Under such circumstances, the heartbeat should have been rumbling, but strangely, it gradually calmed down.
"Old classmates, aren't all of you excellent criminal police keen to sacrifice themselves for others?" Xun Xiaoyun said, "I want to see if you risk your life to save or just walk away in despair."
"You said you could make the bomb explode ahead of time." Mingshu said coldly, "I can also kill you first and then defuse the bomb."
Xun Xiaoyun seemed to have heard a big joke, and she laughed so hard that her tears almost came out, "Old classmate. I'm not as good as you, I have long recognized this. I'm not your opponent in terms of single-handed fighting and marksmanship. But them… "
Saying that, Xun Xiaoyun stretched out his hands and pointed to the mercenaries beside him, "Are they hired by me to play? Old fellow..."
Before the words fell, the gunshots had already sounded!
Mingshu's movements were extremely fast, he drew his gun and shot at the nearest mercenary. At the moment of firing, a smoke bomb was pulled out from the tactical vest and threw it out with a "boom". The gray fog on the first floor exploded, and everyone was submerged in it.
The mercenaries were caught off guard, Mingshu saw the opportunity, ducked and used the pillar as a cover, and after accurately firing two shots with excellent hearing, he was short in stature, dodged the bullets that were fired on the ground, and evaded one. The dead end of the short pile, the bullet is loaded, and then shoot!
The gray fog of the smoke bomb has not yet dispersed, and the dust on the ground is filled. Mingshu glanced at the stairs not far away, swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva, and fired three bursts. A shadow in the thick fog fell screaming.
Xun Xiaoyun obviously did not expect that Mingshu would dare to use one enemy as a pre-emptive strike. Those who were aggrieved and unwilling to make a comeback in an instant cast an inexorable shadow on his "victory".
It was only then that he realized that he still seemed unable to play with Mingshu as a high-ranking person - just like He Yang played with bugs. He thought that Mingshu would struggle and suffer between these two choices, but before he could speak, Mingshu shot and killed one of his mercenaries!
The anger was like a raging fire, which made Xun Xiaoyun go mad in pain.
"Ming Shu!"
On the contrary, Mingshu was more calm, and he fought and retreated. In seconds, he had retreated from the center of the first floor to the stairs by the wall.
He is going up. This building is almost an empty shelf. There is only half of the ground between the second floor and the first floor. As long as you go to the second floor, you can form an absolute advantage over the first floor.
"Ming Shu!"
Xun Xiaoyun finished firing a magazine, quickly replaced it with a new one, and continued to fire under the cover of the mercenaries.
At this time, the smoke almost dissipated, and there were two mercenaries lying on the ground, the first one had his head shot, and the second one might not have died.
A shuttle of bullets broke through the air, and Mingshu jumped, and a row of single holes suddenly appeared on the wall beside him. He was a reflexive shot, hitting a mercenary in the abdomen.
This jump just sent him to the stairs. This was the most dangerous moment. The stairs were bare and without any obstructions. He was like a live target, exposed to several scorching muzzles below.
"Bang bang bang-"
The gunshots rang out, and the sound of bullets tearing through the air exploded around him, rushing towards him like a bloodthirsty net.
Mingshu dashed up, betting on his own luck, and more importantly, his judgment not long ago!
These mercenaries are not professional, let alone Xun Xiaoyun, they have guns in their hands, and the bullets are dense, but they may not be able to hit the target!
The function of his whole body was pushed to the limit, and Mingshu leaped on the stairs, as if smashing a shield of wind and gunpowder, a bullet grazed his arm, tearing a slender blood line, he gritted his teeth, Looking at the platform on the second floor that was close at hand, Yu Guangli Xun Xiaoyun pulled the trigger again.
"boom-"
Mingshu's pupils closed suddenly, his right leg seemed to be bitten by something, and the mild pain spread along with the gushing blood.
He knew he had been shot, but he couldn't stop, the desire to "survive" trumped everything, and he could barely feel the pain.
"Shuh" with a fishy leap, he finally reached the second floor, then turned around, crawled on the dusty floor, aimed at the approaching mercenary, and pulled the trigger firmly.
The bullet was trapped in the flesh, the blood gushed silently from the wound, and the trousers were soaked with blood. Mingshu didn't know if he had hurt the blood vessels, and he had no time to take care of it at this time. He had to get rid of all the mercenaries. As for Xun Xiaoyun…
Xun Xiaoyun can detonate a bomb at any time, but he suddenly launched an attack just now, almost knocking Xun Xiaoyun into a blind spot. As long as Xun Xiaoyun calms down, the explosive device may be activated immediately.
He couldn't afford to waste a single second, Mingshu rolled on the spot, his wet pants and wounds were covered with a thick layer of ash. Putting on the magazine, Mingshu aimed at the last mercenary, "Bang", hit his chest, and the mercenary fell down.
For a moment, Mingshu turned his gun to face Xun Xiaoyun's heart.
Xun Xiaoyun's eyes were dyed with furious fire, and holding a rifle, he violently fired at Mingshu.
The bullets splashed off the edge of the platform, and because of the angle, Mingshu didn't have to worry about them hurting himself.
What he is considering now is whether to kill Xun Xiaoyun directly or make Xun Xiaoyun incapacitated.
Killing directly must be the most inadvisable option, but Xun Xiaoyun is extremely mentally abnormal, and even if he loses the ability to act, he may do unexpected things.
Mingshu didn't have much time to think, the light in his eyes was sure, and the shot popped out of his chest and shot at Xun Xiaoyun's chest!
Xun Xiaoyun's eyes were furious, her pupils shrunk to the size of needles, and her expression was horrified. And Mingshu actually escaped from this net of heaven and earth, and once again he became the loser!
He thought, why has he achieved this level, but still can't win Mingshu
Ming Shu didn't aim at Xun Xiaoyun's heart, the bullet that passed through the chest would not kill Xun Xiaoyun.
Xun Xiaoyun sat crookedly on the ground, the fire of revenge in his eyes was still burning, even more vigorous.
Mingshu stood up on his left leg, groaned, and cold sweat poured from his head.
This sound seemed to please Xun Xiaoyun. Xun Xiaoyun raised her head and smiled angrily, "Old classmate, you are in pain too? What are you still struggling with? Your legs have already been destroyed by me?"
Mingshu went down to the first floor with difficulty, bound Xun Xiaoyun who was incapacitated with a rope, and searched for all the weapons he was carrying.
"I haven't lost yet." Xun Xiaoyun gritted his teeth, "Do you think I only set up a bomb?"
Ming forgives his fingers.
Xun Xiaoyun wanted to laugh, but had no strength. "Xiang Lin, Xiang Lin has one on him. Right here, there are two more."
Mingshu grabbed Xun Xiaoyun's neck with one hand, "What did you say?"
"Listen, I've already avenged Duan Yun. The last thing I have to do is to win and beat you!" Xun Xiaoyun said, "Welcome, welcome to my game. I can't activate Xiang Lin right now. You can defuse as much as you want. But you think about it, once the bullet is defused, you and he will be killed together! Because, because the two bombs on the first floor are detonated, the conditions for detonating are the ones on Xiang Lin's body. The bomb was successfully defused!"
There was a "buzz" in Ming Shu's head, and all the sweat-covered parts of his body began to numb.
"Of course, there is a time error, ten seconds? Or half a minute? If you are lucky, maybe one or three minutes." Xun Xiaoyun said: "Old classmate, do you want to try your luck? If you are lucky, , you might be able to run out with Xiang Lin, if you are unlucky... Hahaha!"
Mingshu forced himself to calm down and was about to check the bomb on the first floor, when he heard Xun Xiaoyun say: "I know what you are thinking. Are you going to dismantle the bomb on the first floor first? Yes, within three minutes."
Xun Xiaoyun suddenly trembled, "I'll tell you one more thing, the two bombs on the first floor have a huge yield and complicated wiring. They were masterpieces when I was specializing in bomb disposal. Old classmate, you shouldn't be able to dismantle them."
Mingshu ran to the bomb landfill that Xun Xiaoyun pointed to, opened it quickly and took a deep breath.
He is not proficient in bomb disposal. When the criminal police hardly need to use bomb disposal skills, the fur he knows is learned a few times in the SWAT team, Lu Yanzhou and Zhou Ping. Ordinary bombs can still be dealt with. The bomb, he couldn't defuse it at all.
"Hahaha..." Xun Xiaoyun laughed again, "You don't have to die, no one is stopping you now, you can leave now and bring someone to arrest me. But I'm afraid that by then, there will be a sea of fire here. You You can't save the innocent man upstairs, and you can't take me to court. Old classmate, you failed!"
Mingshu closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again, dragging his injured leg to the stairs again.
Xun Xiaoyun stared at him with surprise and puzzlement in his eyes. Gradually, his vision blurred, Xun Xiaoyun opened his mouth, and finally passed out.
Ming Shu simply bandaged himself and climbed to the third floor with great effort. The sky was extraordinarily empty, and he watched everything that happened on this land without sadness or joy.
Xiang Lin was tied to a post, the bomb was on his chest, and he was only covered in a blood-stained gray robe. Long before Xiang Haoming disappeared, he was controlled by Xun Xiaoyun, and he may not know that his son had been brutally murdered.
"Please, save me!" Xiang Lin's face was dirty, his grief seemed to soak through every inch of his skin, "I have a son, I want to go back to see him."
Mingshu suddenly felt an inability to vent.
"I will save you." I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss or too much consumption in the battle just now. Mingshu opened the shell of the bomb, and his hands were trembling.
The sky was bright, and he held the wrist of the other hand in one hand, but the trembling did not ease at all.
The bomb on Xiang Lin's body will explode in 46 minutes. Compared with the bomb on the first floor, this bomb is not complicated and he can handle it.
But what about after demolition
Even if the time difference was three minutes, he would not be able to escape to the safe area with Xiang Lin.
Xun Xiaoyun set a dead end for him.
"Save me!" Xiang Lin burst into tears, "I don't want to die!"
The helicopter hovered over the dense forest, and the atmosphere in the cabin was tense, but there was a sense of order.
"Come on! Come on!" Fang Yuanhang clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the signal receiver, and he was already sweating.
Xiao Yu'an wore the black combat uniform of the special police, with a stern look, and his aura was completely different from when he was usually in the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
"The signal is getting stronger and stronger." Fang Yuanhang swallowed and his voice suddenly trembled, "Master..."
Xun Xiaoyun suddenly appeared, and neither the serious crime team nor the special operations team had arrived. The colleagues in Xiangshan City were difficult to mobilize, and they were not familiar with each other. Whether it was a trap or a dead end, someone had to catch up.
Mingshu prepared the necessary equipment in the car early in the morning, made a decisive decision, threw the signal receiver to Fang Yuanhang, jumped into the car and rushed out.
The signal disappeared at one point, then intermittently, and finally stopped in one place.
Fang Yuanhang is a self-proclaimed optimist, but it is Mingshu who is in crisis. He is not optimistic at all, and he is very anxious. He has thought countless times that the signal does not move, is Mingshu dead
The idea was driven away, and it was driven away, but it was always lingering.
Until Xiao Yuan finally arrived.
Below the helicopter are layers of green waves, and the rugged mountain road can be ignored.
Fang Yuanhang inexplicably felt that Xiao Yuan was very angry, but he couldn't tell from his tone and expression.
Is it because Qi Mingshu refused to obey orders and hurriedly pursued it
But in that situation at the time, it was impossible for anyone to not chase after him.
Perhaps Xiao Yuan was more helpless and worried than angry.
Fang Yuanhang thought so, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a gray building faintly appeared in the green waves.
It's a building!
The signal became stronger and stronger, Fang Yuanhang shouted: "It's here!"
Counting down 17 minutes, Xiang Lin trembled all over, as if he was tightly restrained by death.
Mingshu has figured out the principle of the bomb in front of him, but he has not started.
He was waiting, waiting for the signal receiver handed over to Fang Yuanhang to bring the person who saved him from the desperate situation.
"Suddenly—"
The loud sound of the helicopter came from a distance, and the wind swept the leaves, setting off wave after wave of ripples.
Mingshu narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the helicopter. When I saw the paint of the fuselage, the numbness gradually dissipated from the injured right leg, and the pain swarmed.
"hiss-"
Mingshu raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and made a "safe" gesture towards the helicopter.
"Master!" Fang Yuanhang exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao Ju! He's fine!"
Xiao Yuan responded calmly, and immediately ordered the helicopter to descend.
The helicopter was supposed to park in the open space next to the abandoned building, but when it approached the platform on the third floor, the hatch suddenly opened, and at the moment of hovering, Xiao Yuan climbed the rope and slid down.
"Master!" Fang Yuanhang shouted while lying beside the ladder door.
Mingshu's face was pale, and he signaled to Fang Yuanhang that he was fine, then turned his eyes and landed on Xiao Yuan.
"Xun Xiaoyun is on the first floor, it's all solved." Mingshu suppressed some boiling emotions in his heart and tried his best to maintain his rationality, "The problem now is that once the bomb on Xiang Lin's body is dismantled, the two bombs below will explode. ."
Mingshu quickly informed Xiao Yuan of the situation and found that Xiao Yuan had noticed the injury on his leg.
"I've dealt with the gunshot wound, but the bones and blood vessels were not injured." He said, "It's fine for now. Brother, there are only 10 minutes left."
Xiao Yuan's chest rose and fell significantly, his eyes were very heavy, "Can you handle this bomb?"
Mingshu nodded seriously, "I can!"
Xiao Yu'an said, "Leave the following two to me and Hua Chong."
Although there were many team members who came together, they were all criminal policemen, and it was difficult for them to deal with the bomb.
Xiao Yuan quickly went down to the first floor to check the two high-yield bombs.
Xu Chun was also a special police officer in the past, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw these two bombs, "This damn... it's a 'dead bomb'!"
The so-called "dead bomb" means that it cannot be removed, or it is extremely difficult to remove.
Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "There is a way. Flower team!"
Hua Chong stood up from the other bomb, "It can be defused."
The three bombs must be defused at the same time, and the safety time is within five seconds.
Hua Chong was born in a special anti-terrorist police officer, while Xiao Yu'an was a field elite of the special operations team. The serial bombs set up by Xun Xiaoyun were the only ones who were able to dismantle them.
The risk of bomb disposal is extremely high, and there is no such thing as "safety". Xiao Yuan ordered the other team members to retreat to the safe area, lie down with Hua Chong from the south to the north, and start to deal with the two huge bombs.
On the third floor, Ming Shu was ready to separate the detonation device at any time.
"How is it?" Xiao Yu'an's voice was low and passed to Hua Chong and Mingshu through the communication device.
"Give me another two minutes." Hua Chong said.
"Five minutes left." Mingshu said.
"Well." Xiao Yu'an and Hua Chong responded at the same time.
Soon, the communicator rang again, and Xiao Yuan said, "Get ready."
Quiet is like a giant umbrella, which slammed open in the forest, Mingshu raised his eyes, looked into Xiang Lin's eyes, and said in a very soft voice: "Don't be afraid, we will protect you."
Xiang Lin, who was constantly moaning and trembling, was tense all over at this moment, biting his lip, he stopped making a sound, and even his breathing almost stopped.
The detonating wire barrels of the three bombs were clamped, and almost at the same time, they were pulled out by three steady and firm forces.
The wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, it twirled twice, rolled over again, covered with ashes and stopped fluttering.
The danger of explosion was successfully ruled out!
Before everyone could move, Xiao Yuan stood up, ran to the second floor, turned around, and rushed to the third floor.
Hua Chong breathed a sigh of relief, patted the soil on his chest, and looked up at the roof.
Fang Yuanhang finally recovered from the suffocation at the last moment of the bomb disposal, and ran away, also rushing into the building.
The moment Mingshu completed the dismantling, he fell to the ground softly, as if all his energy was spent, and there was no way to stand up again.
But in fact, he just knew subconsciously that someone would come to lend him a force, or simply pick him up.
The hurried footsteps were getting closer, Mingshu looked at the direction of the stairs, and suddenly, Xiao Yuan appeared there, rushing towards him in three steps and two steps.
"Brother..." Mingshu stretched out his hand and shouted softly.
Xiao Yuan squatted down, got very close to him, and held his half cheek with one hand, heartache, anger, and fear surging in his eyes.
He could feel that Xiao Yuan's palms were shaking.
"Brother." He whispered: "Fortunately you have time..."
The last sound almost disappeared in Xiao Yuan's breath, Xiao Yuan leaned over, grabbed the back of his neck, pressed his forehead against his forehead, and breathed rapidly.
At such a close distance, he was stunned, and immediately felt the familiar peace of mind.
"Master!" Fang Yuanhang rushed up and braked suddenly by the stairs, "Hey-ah!".
Xiao Yu'an has already picked up Mingshu, "Ming's leg is injured, I will send him down."
