Old Wolf turned around and glanced at Zhou Xiumei who was squatting behind Prop Box.
His right hand had already touched Dagger on his waist, and pressed it down forcefully.
The opponent not only has Firearms in his hand, but also Sniper hidden in the periphery.
What's even worse is that there are explosives buried in the building that may explode at any time.
Once they start a fight rashly, it will be difficult for them to save Ms. Zhou in the chaos.
It is even possible that so many innocent people present could be buried with him.
We must first find out where the explosives are and eliminate all hidden dangers before we can deal with these kidnappers freely.
Just as the two of them were weighing the pros and cons and hesitating.
Suddenly a steady and powerful voice sounded in my mind:
"How are you doing now?"
Old Wolf was startled for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and he silently replied in his heart:
"President..."
In the center of the stage, A Kun and A Mang were holding Firearms, staring fiercely at a group of hostages squatting with their heads in front of them.
Pei Tianci raised his right hand and pressed the Micro Communication Earpiece worn in his right ear:
"Sanchai, is there any movement outside?"
From Earpiece came the whistling sound of the wind blowing through Mike.
Then a man's voice with a strong Nanyang accent sounded:
"Don't worry, boss, don't you know what I'm capable of? I saw it clearly from the rooftop, and the police didn't arrive so quickly."
"But it's a bit strange. East City Association Those thugs and staff who were left in Resort have all withdrawn just now. Not even a patrol was seen."
Pei Tianci narrowed his eyes and thought for a few seconds.
Sanchai was sent by him to ambush Auxiliary Building Rooftop to occupy the commanding heights.
His mission is to act as a scout and Sniper, observing the surrounding situation.
If someone dares to attack by force, sniper fire will be launched from a high place to serve as a warning and deterrent.
Now it seems that East City Association has not discovered the anomaly that Auxiliary Building's program team has been hijacked.
He did not delve into it further and switched the communication channel:
"Du Juan, how is the situation over there? Has Surveillance Room taken over?"
There was a slight electrical noise coming from the channel.
Then, a woman's soft voice sounded:
"Brother Tian, it's all done."
"The security guards in the building are all a bunch of soft-legged shrimps. I tied them all in Surveillance Room. There are two disobedient ones. After I bled them, they are very honest now..."
Pei Tianci heard this and nodded slightly:
"You keep an eye on the surveillance footage at each entrance to the building and report any disturbance immediately."
Before he finished speaking, the voice of Sanchai standing on the rooftop came from Earpiece:
"Boss, there is movement, someone seems to be coming..."
"No... who are you?!"
Pei Tianci turned aside and pressed Earpiece:
"What's wrong?"
There was a sudden "cracking" sound in Earpiece.
That was the sound of bones being broken.
Sanchai's call full of surprise came to an abrupt end.
Then, the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came along the Mike wind.
There was only a faint sound of electricity in the channel.
Pei Tianci looked stern, and the smile on his face instantly faded.
He pressed Earpiece hard with his right hand and asked repeatedly:
"Sanchai? What happened? Tell me what's going on over there immediately!"
There was dead silence in Earpiece.
No response.
Pei Tianci raised his head and issued instructions to his two subordinates not far away:
"A Kun, A Mang, spread out and guard the entrance! Mouse is coming in!"
A Kun and A Mang acted quickly and raised their hands Firearms without hesitation.
One left and one right retreated behind the Load-bearing Pillar on both sides, and aimed their guns at the inner and outer doors of the Rehearsal Hall.
Pei Tianci stood on the spot, his brain working rapidly.
Sanchai is ambushing on the rooftop and has an absolute commanding height advantage.
The entrances around Auxiliary Building have been locked from the inside with chains, making it impossible for outsiders to enter.
As for the people inside the building, they have also cleaned them floor by floor in advance, so that no fish slipped through the net.
In this case, how did the intruder reach the rooftop?
Climbed a dozen-story exterior wall with bare hands? Or did you fly up there?
You know, Sanchai has a perception that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
I want to avoid his sight and approach the rooftop quietly...
There is only one possibility.
The other party was a master invited by the East City Association, and he was definitely Aberrant with Special Abilities.
Buzz--
Behind the Rehearsal Hall, Backup Generator suddenly made a dull sound and stopped running completely.
Immediately afterwards, several rows of lights overhead flashed twice.
With a "pop" sound, everything went out.
The huge Rehearsal Hall was once again plunged into darkness.
"Ah--"
The sudden darkness caused the already nervous crowd to completely collapse.
Several female players screamed in horror.
The crowd started to commotion, and some people tried to crawl into the corner and sneak out in the dark.
"Don't fucking move!"
A Kun pulled Bolt in the dark and shouted loudly:
"Whoever dares to stand up will be shot to death by me!"
A Mang was more decisive. He picked up the assault rifle in his hand and fired randomly.
Da da da da da--
In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, completely covering up the commotion.
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down with their heads in their hands, fearing that they would be shot by stray bullets and die unjustly.
Pei Tianci also pulled out a silver-coated Desert Eagle from his lower back and said in a cold tone:
"Everyone, please be quiet."
"Whoever dares to make one more sound will be killed by me."
"Don't take any chances, I can see each of your movements clearly."
In the darkness, Pei Tianci pushed Gold-rimmed Glasses on the bridge of his nose.
His eyes glowed with a layer of Anomaly light in the dark environment, as bright as a nocturnal animal.
The few Stage Crew who were close looked up and were so frightened that they crawled back and covered their mouths.
Silence barely returned to the hall, with only the sound of heavy breathing faintly heard in the darkness.
Pei Tianci raised his left hand and pressed Earpiece:
"Du Juan, how is the situation over there? Is the monitoring power outage?"
"Received, Brother Tian."
A few seconds later, the clear and crisp voice of Du Juan sounded:
"There is also a power outage here, but Surveillance Room is equipped with UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply and can still work."
"East City Association is quite willing to spend money. Even the Camera in the corridor has Night Vision. It will automatically switch to Infrared Mode in low light environment."
Listening to her explanation, Pei Tianci breathed a sigh of relief, and then issued the order:
"You should check the surveillance immediately and find out the specific whereabouts of the person who just came in."
"Yes."
The crisp sound of keyboard tapping came from Earpiece, and Du Juan continued:
"I'm checking every screen... I haven't found any abnormalities yet."
Pei Tianci holds the gun with one hand and reminds in a deep voice:
"Focus on the stairwell from the rooftop to the top floor. The opponent is a tough opponent, so don't take it lightly."
"Okay... wait, Brother Tian!"
In Earpiece, Du Juan's voice suddenly revealed a hint of surprise:
"I just... seemed to see a shadow flash past."
"But it was so fast that there was only an afterimage left in the infrared image, and it was impossible to see what it was."
Pei Tianci narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold light in his pupils became stronger:
"Which level is the monitoring on? Report the specific location!"
Du Juan swallowed and explained:
"In the stairwell on the twelfth floor, just going down..."
"No, the eleventh floor... the tenth floor...Brother Tian, he is too fast and is heading towards your floor!"
Zizi--Zila--
The harsh noise suddenly penetrated the eardrums.
The communication signal seemed to be interfered by some strong magnetic field and was interrupted instantly.
"Du Juan? Du Juan? Can you hear me?"
Pei Tianci tried asking several times, but still did not receive any response like Sanchai.
He slowly took off Earpiece, threw it on the floor, and gestured to A Kun and A Mang.
Then hold the handle of the gun tightly with both hands, with the muzzle pointing straight ahead.
Inside the hall, the metal double doors leading to the second floor were tightly closed.
There was dead silence all around, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Time passed second by second in the darkness.
Everyone was holding their breath and their nerves were tense.
About half a minute passed.
Da, da, da--
Suddenly, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from deep in the corridor outside the door.
Step on it, step on the hard floor tiles.
The sound didn't seem loud, but it echoed in the dark building, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
A Mang's muscles were tense all over, the butt of the gun was pressed against his shoulder, and his finger was on the trigger.
A Kun also had sharp eyes, locking the door with his gaze.
The muzzles of the two men approached with the sound of footsteps outside the door, moving Front Sight slowly.
The staff and players squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands were even more trembling.
They don't understand the current situation.
Did the police send Counterterrorism SWAT to rescue them? Or was another group of gangsters coming?
"Show...Xiumei..."
The roommate huddled in the corner cried and pulled Zhou Xiumei's sleeves tremblingly:
"Who is outside? Are the police coming?"
Zhou Xiumei shook his head slightly.
She didn't shrink into a ball in fear like the people around her. Instead, she raised her head, her eyes shining like stars.
Although she couldn't see the scene clearly in the darkness, the familiar feeling deep in her mind became stronger and stronger.
It's Brother Cheng! It's definitely him!
Old Wolf and Xiao Bei, who were squatting in front of her, also stood up slightly, their eyes full of anticipation.
But the other staff and players in the hall were so anxious that they didn't even dare to breathe.
In the center of the stage, Pei Tianci's eyes behind the lenses are extremely calm.
He didn't make a sound, he just raised his left hand and made a series of tactical gestures towards A Kun and A Mang.
Index Finger points his middle finger to the door, then clenches it into a fist - the target is found and everyone is on alert.
Index Finger paddled to the left blind spot - signaling A Kun to keep distance and occupy the crossfire position.
He pressed his right hand flat on his chest and patted it twice - ordering A Mang to act according to the situation and to be ready to detonate the bomb ambushed near the gate at any time.
A Kun and A Mang quickly understood, stepped lightly and continued to spread out to both sides, raising their guns to lock the direction of the door.
Squeak--
The double-open metal door was pushed open from the outside, and the hinge shaft made a tooth-gripping sound.
Pei Tianci opened his eyes wide, staring at the crack in the door, and Index Finger slowly tightened his grip on the trigger.
A tall figure stepped into the hall.
The person who came here was wearing a tight black T-shirt, with strong chest and arm muscles stretching the clothes tight, and a pair of dark trousers.
With eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people, Pei Tianci instantly saw the man's face clearly.
That doesn't look like a human being at all.
A blood-red Evil Spirit Mask was pinned on his face.
There are two curved horns on the forehead, and the corners of the mouth open to both sides, revealing staggered and violent fangs.
Against the dim background, two frightening Crimson pupils shot out from behind the holes in the mask.
But that's not what shocked Pei Tianci the most.
In the intruder's left hand, he was grabbing a person like a dead dog.
The man was wearing a bulletproof vest, his limbs were hanging limply in the air, blood bubbles were gushing out of his mouth intermittently, and he was moaning weakly.
It is Sniper and Sanchai who lost contact on the rooftop just now.
Thin moonlight casts in from the window.
The people squatting around couldn't help but quietly raised their heads to watch.
They vaguely saw the blood-red ghost face, and suddenly let out a low-pitched exclamation.
I just felt that the person coming was more terrifying than these kidnappers.
"It's Brother Cheng..."
Zhou Xiumei's eyes were bright and he blurted out in a low voice.
The roommate was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion:
"What Brother Cheng?"
Old Wolf and Xiao Bei in front looked at each other, and their tense shoulders couldn't help but relax.
President is really here.
Fang Cheng took two steps in the hall and waved his arm.
Snap.
Sanchai hit the floor like a ball of mud, rolled twice and made no sound.
Pei Tianci's eyes twitched, and he raised the gun with both hands and pointed it at Fang Cheng's chest:
"You are the master invited by the East City Association? Why don't you even dare to reveal your true identity?"
"Let the man go."
A low voice came from behind the mask, without any intention of talking to him.
Pei Tianci sneered:
"Why? Do you think you are strong?"
"You know, there are one hundred kilograms of C4 explosives buried in the whole building now. As long as the detonator is pressed, everyone will be powdered together Bone Fragment."
"How about this..."
Pei Tianci The muzzle of the gun was slightly raised, and the tone was a bit Slow Down:
"Hand over Sanchai and retreat outside the door. We can still sit down and have a good talk."
Fang Cheng took a step forward, and the floor tiles under his feet made a crunching sound:
"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"Give you one minute to release all the hostages immediately, otherwise you won't even have a chance to press the detonator."
A Kun, who was standing on the side, pointed his gun at Fang Cheng's head, spat and cursed:
"Fuck! Why are you pretending? Believe it or not, I will kill you with one shot!"
A Mang, who was behind the pillar, had his thumb hanging above the red button of the detonator, with a fierce expression on his face, ready to take action at any time.
Pei Tianci's eyes darkened.
Since he accepted Backer's huge salary, he must complete the task.
This is the professional quality he has adopted since he has been in the Mercenary hiring industry for more than ten years, and he will never violate it easily.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
In front of Prop Box, Old Wolf's hand touched Dagger, ready to help.
Xiao Bei pressed his wrist and whispered urgently:
"Uncle, don't be impulsive, we haven't investigated the location of the explosives yet!"
Old Wolf was slightly startled when he heard this, then gritted his teeth and squatted down again.
President did not give the order to attack, and taking action hastily will only disrupt the situation.
Pei Tianci stared at the eyes of Crimson and suddenly sneered:
"Your Majesty's tone is not small, but unfortunately it is too arrogant. Do you know what the idiom Xia Country is called?"
"What?"
Fang Cheng asked in a calm tone.
The moment his attention was attracted by Pei Tianci's words, the air behind him suddenly rippled like water waves.
Immediately afterwards, the sharp blade cut through the air, causing a sharp sound of wind and piercing the back of Fang Cheng's neck!
