Chapter 145 Deadlock
Chapter 145 [Stalemate] "According to the information I have seen, generally speaking, the more hostages the bandits take hostages, the longer the confrontation will be... So, I hope you don't expect us to stay here for two or three hours to have someone to rescue us! Or I hope that the hijacking outside will end in two or three hours... According to my guess, I'm afraid that even if the impasse outside lasts for two days, it won't be surprising! Moreover, those hostages... Alas, their identities are too **! It can be said that those people outside, any one of them, has been followed by the media all over the world, so it is unlikely that the police will not dare to take tough measures, so the situation will be deadlocked for a long time... We..." He looked at us and whispered, "Now we have more than a dozen people here, of which There are still people injured. We are here, no medicine, no food... The most terrible thing is that there is no water! If there is no food, we can still stick to it, but if there is no water, I'm afraid that at the end of the day, we will have no strength because of dehydration! And when we don't have the strength, will the bandits outside attack us? No one is sure about this.
And the injured man, he is still bleeding and needs treatment... I don't know if he can survive for another day, but the situation outside is deadlocked for a day... or even longer, it's possible!" So, do you have any good ideas? I looked at old Bruce.
Although he is just an actor, he is not the invincible hero in the movie.
But in this case.
He calmed down and stood up, and still gave everyone a lot of psychological support... The heroic and wise hero images he shaped deeply rooted in people's hearts have given everyone a lot of psychological comfort at this moment.
"We need to collect some food."
Old Bruce looked at me and said slowly, "Okay.
Then I'll start to assign tasks now, if you don't mind.
Seeing that no one was talking, he nodded and looked at me: "Young man..." "My name is Chen Yang."
I smiled and said.
"Okay, Chen!" According to the habits of Westerners (first name and last name), old Bruce called me Chen as my name: "Chen, this security lounge, except for our current room, do you see the door inside? There is also a room in it, which is the dressing room.
is probably the place where the security guards here change their uniforms when they go to work every day.
I need you and this lady, as well as a few other ladies, to go to that room together.
I don't care what you do.
Find a way to open all the cabinets! It's okay to pry it open or smash it open.
I always want you to search every cabinet carefully! Those are the lockers of the security guards here. There may be some personal belongings in them. Try your best to find what we need... food, water.
Drugs...anything is fine! Even if it's just a piece of bread, even if it's just a band-aid!" OK."
I nodded and accepted his request.
"Okay.
Other men, let's decorate it here. Look, there are two cabinets next to it. I need two people to come with me and move those two cabinets and block them in front of the door! Guys, we can live on this door! So we need to strengthen it again and again!" With the shout of old Bruce, the other two men also barely stood up and cheered up.
I winned Lei Xiaohu.
Let him guard outside, and Yang Wei, Jessica and I, together with the old Bruce's female companion, walked to the dressing room inside.
And there is another lady who is taking care of the injured waiter.
Although this woman's clothes are luxurious, in this case, everyone has basically abandoned the level of identity. It seems that she is still very humanitarian.
The door of the locker room was locked. I pushed it twice and didn't open it. I simply stepped back a few steps, and then flew over and kicked the door open.
Fortunately, this is a simple lock.
The dressing room inside is not big, only about 20 square meters, and the ground is a little damp.
There are no windows in this room, and there are four rows of metal lockers in it.
The room is not big, and you can see the end at a glance. Except for these cabinets, there is really nothing to search for.
The only hope is to open these cabinets and see what can be found.
I unlocked the handle of the cabinet in front of me a few times. As expected, all the cabinets were locked.
I sighed and was about to find a tool to smash it... Well, Lei Xiaohu still has a fire axe in his hand.
"No need."
Yang Wei stopped me, and then she untied a brooch from the chest of her evening dress and handed me the tip of the needle inside: "Can you unlock it?" I shook my head, but I haven't done it.
At this time, without saying anything, the old Bruce's female companion suddenly said, "I can try it."
We all looked at her, and the girl shrugged her shoulders: "Oh, when I was at home, I secretly opened my father's wine cabinet to steal his wine.
What's wrong? Don't look at me like that. I'm 22 years old, and I'm at the legal age to drink.
I smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's up to you, miss."
Yang Wei immediately handed the brooch to her.
"Don't call me Miss, please call me Monica."
She smiles very sweetly, with brown hair and a good figure. She is a very amorous beauty. No wonder the old Bruce likes her so much.
Sure enough, this little girl named Monica was very tricky. She quickly opened three cabinets, and then Yang Wei and I immediately began to turn over the things in the cabinets.
Jessica has been a little distracted since the accident tonight. She escaped from the chaos just now. Until now, she seems to be very scared and hasn't said a word.
When Yang Wei and I had started to turn over the cabinet, Jessica was still standing aside in a daze.
Seeing that she didn't move, Yang Wei walked over and patted her gently.
She seemed to react. She took a look at Yang Wei and said, "What's wrong?" Let's check it! There are a lot of cabinets here. We should try our best to find out what we need... I know you're scared now?? Everyone is scared, including me! But we must overcome our fears! At least we are safe now, much luckier than those in the hall! So, please don't be in a daze, concentrate and work hard! If you want to live, you'd better put away your fears for a while.
Yang Wei's tone is very resolute.
The confusion in Jessica's eyes disappeared a little. She looked at Yang Wei for a while and whispered, "I know."
Then she quickly walked past Yang Wei.
Start to check the third cabinet.
There are a total of 12 lockers in the whole dressing room. After our inspection one by one, it took more than half an hour.
There are indeed a lot of things in these cabinets: clothes left by the security guards, personal belongings.
There are also some personal photos on the mirror in the cabinet, including men's perfume and a razor.
There are leather shoes... but there are no weapons.
I sighed and knew that it was impossible to find weapons from these private lockers.
Fortunately, we found other places, and we found a small amount of food... In the No. 2 locker, we found a small bag of biscuits, and half of the sandwiches that were obviously gnawed, but later wrapped in plastic wrapping paper.
In addition, a bottle of about 600 milliliters of milk was found in the No. 6 locker.
Finally, I found a temporary first aid kit in the No. 9 locker.
There is a bottle of alcohol balls and a pack of bandages in it.
It was Yang Wei who found the first aid kit. She immediately gave it to Monica and asked her to go out and give it to old Bruce to save the wounded.
"Six hundred milliliters of milk, a small bag of biscuits, and more than half a sandwich... These are not enough for twelve people to eat."
I sighed, "Unfortunately, the food doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if ordinary people are hungry for two days.
But the water is not good... If people don't drink water for a day, I'm afraid they can't support it.
Yang Wei suddenly smiled. She glanced at me and said, "Well, if it's just water, I have a way."
She raised her hand and pointed to the ceiling... My eyes lit up immediately! That's a fire sprinkler on the ceiling!!! I saw it outside just now. There are this kind of nozzles in both rooms here... In fact, every room has it! Our drinking water seems to be more than enough, so we don't have to worry at all.
Yang smiled and said, "I just have to find a way to get some containers to hold water.
We can now turn on the floor nozzle in a room to spray water, and then leave a room to use it when needed.
We went out immediately and discussed with old Bruce. He looked at Yang Wei with a little admiration: "Miss, your idea is great. Let's use a nozzle first! The wounds of the wounded need to be cleaned, and we... everyone is tired and thirsty.
Now we need to take a break to replenish the water, and leave a nozzle to use when needed.
After discussion, we all decided to use the nozzle in the locker room... Because once the nozzle is opened, it can't be closed (unless the water in this pipe), and after being sprayed with water, the room can't wait for people.
We gathered all kinds of things we could find in our hands, and even turned over the glass lampshade of the floor lamp, which could be used as a container for storing water.
The ladies stayed outside. Old Bruce and Lei Xiaohu and I walked to the inner dressing room. I climbed to a cabinet and took out a lighter that I had just got from another man.
I made a flame and barbecued under the nozzle for a few seconds... Immediately, after sensing the heat, the nozzle slammed and sprinkled the water on my head... As a result, the glass lampshade in old Bruce's hand was first washed under water, and then stored full of water and handed it to him, and Suddenly remembered something, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them out of the room, sighing, "Damn it! Fortunately, if you get soaked, you can't smoke.
Then I called Lei Xiaohu, and the two of us washed our bodies freely under the sprinkler on the ceiling... We just drilled through the ventilation duct.
He also experienced an explosion, and his whole body was covered with black and gray.
Lei Xiaohu simply took off his coat just like me.
We were drenched under the water for a long time before we washed our bodies clean.
Lei Xiaohu even poured water into his nose and mouth with both hands, and then sneezed and washed away the dust in his mouth.
Finally, we took turns to open our mouths under the nozzle and drink for a while... After ten minutes, the water in the nozzle gradually dried up.
When we walked out of the room, both of them were soaked, but it was much better than the black charcoal just now.
Old Bruce stood at the window. He opened the curtains and looked down... "Did you hear me?" He smiled bitterly.
Everyone closed their mouths and listened carefully... faintly.
It seemed that there was a faint sound of police cars outside... Everyone came to the window, looked down, and saw how many police cars were parked below.
Anyway, the whole street nearby was blocked by the police... I don't know how many police came.
"It seems that the bandits inside have begun to negotiate with the police."
Yang said slowly.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Old Bruce sighed: "I hope this matter will end soon."
Ten minutes have passed, during which there was a banging sound outside.
Although it only rang for about half a minute and there was no movement, the people inside were still scared to death.
Everyone understands that the people inside have no weapons in their hands.
If those armed bandits outside break in, then everyone will have to be robbed.
It's past ten o'clock in the evening.
Let's just divide the food first.
Yang Wei, Jessica, Monica, and another lady who escaped, four people ate the bag of biscuits together.
And the other seven men shared the bitten sandwich... Damn it, I'm afraid I got less than half an ounce.
And the injured waiter enjoyed the treatment of the wounded.
He drank half a bottle of milk.
After a while, we found that there were police helicopters starting to hover back and forth near the building... There were also two helicopters hovering far away, probably the shooting news of some media or TV station.
Suddenly, someone remembered a note. We found an A4 paper from a table in the room, then wrote three large letters of "SOS" on it with a pen, and pasted the paper on the window glass.
This move immediately gave everyone a lot of hope, including Old Bruce, who seemed to be very excited, but only Yang was quiet and seemed to have no reaction.
She sighed and then smiled bitterly at me in Chinese: "The glass of this building is reflective, and it is also brown with sunscreen. When you look from the outside, the glass looks dark... And it's still at night, a small A4 paper, far away. It is impossible to see it on a 100-meter helicopter.
So it's just an extra comfort in everyone's heart. I'm afraid it won't work.
She spoke to me in Chinese, but she obviously didn't want to hurt everyone's morale.
And here, only I, Yang Wei, and Lei Xiaohu can understand Chinese.
The little tiger shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and he didn't look discouraged.
I found that Yang Wei's face was not very good-looking, his face was a little faintly flushed, and his complexion was not very good.
I couldn't help sitting next to her and said softly, "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Did you get hurt just now? After saying that, I looked at her up and down in a hurry. I saw her toes from her head, but I didn't find any injuries on her body. I was slightly relieved. I reached out and touched her forehead again, and found that my body temperature was normal.
Yang Wei was a little embarrassed by me, but then she looked awe-in-tempered, shook her head and dodged my hand: "I'm not hurt, you don't have to worry."
However, I clearly feel that when she speaks, her breath is a little different in peacetime.
"You...are you really all right?" I still have some doubts.
Yang Wei suddenly blushed and whispered, "You... don't get so close to me..." His breath was even more rapid.
I just suddenly... Well, is she shy? When everyone was about to rest, I suddenly heard a man shouting excitedly, "Hey!! Look what I found!!!" This is the lady whose name I don't know.
Just now, she proposed to write the word SOS on A4 paper and paste it on the window.
After that, she was a little bored at the table.
With her shout, everyone looked at her, but saw that she actually took out a small laptop from the pump!!! I was stunned, immediately.
Everyone reacted! Yang Wei's eyes also shone brightly!! Why didn't you find this just now!" I blurted out, "Didn't you search the table when you came to this room first?" Old Bruce blushed slightly. He explained, "We searched just now, but we didn't find anything."
The lady laughed and said, "Look, no wonder we didn't find it just now... This smoke has two layers! There is a push-pull mezzanine in it... This kind of design is actually very common, but I didn't find it in a hurry just now.
Oh, look, there is also a wireless network card here!! This computer can log in to the network!" After the laptop was turned on, everyone cheered.
After all, it is still Yang Wei's heart. She opened her mouth to remind, "Pay attention to the power... Have you found the charger? It seems that there is only one computer, right? Indeed.
The lady searched for a while and looked up helplessly: "There is no charger... Well, maybe the staff here forgot it here when they got off work.
However.
Well, the power display on it is still 50 minutes away! It should be enough for us to contact the police!" Everyone seems to see hope at once! Suddenly, everyone's face was excited! And Monica and Jessica cried with joy! sneer! The woman who controlled the computer immediately logged on to the Internet and called the police. She operated for a while and said, "Okay! I not only logged in to the network alarm system of the Los Angeles Police Station.
He also talked to one of my online friends, told her about our situation, and asked her to call the police station immediately!" Did you tell them the location of our room? Old Bruce's eyes flashed.
"Speaked!" This lady looks excited! A few minutes later.
Suddenly, when we were still squeezing in front of the computer desk, we immediately felt a strong beam of light shining outside the window! Then I heard the roar of the spiral. A helicopter approached the building at all, and the strong light was hitting our floor window! Immediately, everyone began to scream, then rushed to the window and shouted desperately outside.
The helicopter has a police mark on it.
After confirming our position far away, the plane circled.
flew away.
Everyone was very excited, and some people shouted, "Okay! The police will definitely come to save us first!!" Even my face was a little lighter, but when I looked back at Yang Wei, she still sat there and did not move. There was no joy on her face, but still very serious.
"What's wrong with you?" I walked over and looked at Yang Wei.
"I'm afraid... it's very difficult."
Yang Wei smiled bitterly: "Even if the police know that we are here, how can they save us?" ...Since I..." I was speech-huh.
Yang Wei lowered his voice and said to me in Chinese: "I said before that we are hiding here. Although it is temporarily safe, it is also equivalent to tying ourselves to death!" Even if the police know that we are here and have not been caught by the bandits, what can they do? Now the bandits have sealed the 61st to 62nd floors, and all the elevators and all the exits have been sealed! The police can't break through at all... If the police can break through to save us, unless they solve all the bandits... Does that make sense to us? There are so many famous hostages in the hands of the bandits. Is it possible for the police to break through? Look... this is a dead knot!" I nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe...there is another way...don't forget, this is the top floor. The police may first land on the roof of the top floor, and then send special police personnel to hang the wire from the outside of the upstairs building, then break the tempered glass window of our room and hang us out of here!" Yang Wei rubbed his temples helplessly, shook his head, and rejected my idea very firmly: "This is impossible!!" She glanced at the excited people, and her voice was even lower: "Chen Yang, you know we are on the top floor, don't the bandits know? Theoretically, if the police can land from the rooftop, they can not only break the glass of our room to save us... In theory, they can attack any room on this floor from the rooftop?? It also includes the hall where the bandits are located!! Do you think the gangsters may allow the police to land on the rooftop of the building? Don't forget, before we ran out just now, the three white bandits, the one named Jack, were ordered to guard the rooftop!! The bandits have hostages in hand, which can completely make the police dare not act rashly! This is very simple... Even the most idiotic bandits will ask the police to step back and vacate an isolation belt! At the same time, he threatened the police not to allow the police helicopter and any police personnel to land on the rooftop... Otherwise, if the police dare to land on the rooftop, I will start killing people immediately!!" Yang Wei looked at me and said, "If so... may the police fall from the sky? Those hostages are not ordinary citizens! Any one of these people is the favorite of the mass media!"
