Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 222 Escape and Rescue

Lockshriver heard more than a dozen gunshots across the street, and his heart tightened, seeing that the window of Diaz's room had not been opened for a long time, he realized that all the people he sent had been wiped out: "Hawkins! Inform the government army to block the street immediately, and you must arrest the three members of the Equality Society if you bring people in!"

   "Yes!" Things gradually went out of everyone's control, and Hawkins' heart became cold, "You, you, you, and you, put on your guns and follow me!"

   "Remember! I want to live! None of them can die!" Before Hawkins left the door, Locke Shriver turned and emphasized.

"Yes!"

  At the last moment, the people from the Intelligence Bureau no longer covered up, and more than a dozen people swaggered downstairs and rushed to the opposite hotel.

  Rock Shriver stared intently at the window with a telescope, cold sweat dripping from his brow.

   This is the biggest crisis he thinks he has experienced in his life, and it is even more serious than Boyne, the third president of the Equality Association, who let go.

  He was cheated again, the Equality Society is going to attack the **** military warehouse! Even a fool should know what's going on now. All this is clearly a bait for the Equality Society, designed to disperse the government's forces and then take the opportunity to attack places where the forces are weak.

The Minister of Security, White, and even President Louis Francois regarded him as the core of the plan to destroy the Equality Society. He also boasted in the face of the two, saying that he had a chance to win and would successfully conclude at the World Expo At the same time, the liquidation of the Equality Association was successfully completed.

   But now, there are explosions everywhere, and the whole Laizein is in chaos.

  All the important clues to the battle situation in his heart also surfaced, revealing his true colors—there are really only three people! There are only three people from the beginning to the end!

  What should I do then?

   When today is over, he will take responsibility?

Wasted so many troops and so much time doing meaningless things, and delayed the best chance to destroy the Equality Association. Today, Blessie will lose face in the world, and the image of a powerful country that he painstakingly created in the World Expo will also be destroyed. , and a series of chain reactions.

  He can't afford it, ten of him, even ten Whites can't afford it.

so what should I do now? Is it possible that they really want to take the three corpses back and tell the president that they only caught three members of the Equality Society out of thousands of people in a few months, and they are still dead?

   Of course not!

  The value of the three corpses is too low, he has to bring these three people back alive. Even if they are as stubborn as Ross and can't say anything, they can give them some titles when they are on business, such as the second in command of the Equality Association, important cadres of the Equality Association, and so on.

  Anyway, as long as the value they show is greater, the pressure on Rock Shriver will be less.

  In just 20 minutes, his thoughts changed from how to win the Equality Society to the sky in one step, to how to save himself even if it is just life: "Equality Society... Equality Society..."

  Outside, a group of people led by Hawkins broke into the hotel, but the sense of fear in Locke Shreve's heart spread uncontrollably. He found that he could not defeat the Equality Society at all, and began to fear the Equality Society.

  —

   "Where are we going?" Nord asked.

Diaz took the two of them down from the third floor to the second floor, broke into a guest's room, and found out the guest's clothes: "We definitely can't stay, but there are people watching us outside, we have to change first when we go out." A suit of clothes."

  Nord stuffed the guest with a ten-gold bill, then drove him out, and quickly took off his clothes: "It makes sense, you guys change it quickly!"

   Time was running out, and the three of them didn't dare to waste a single minute. They quickly changed their clothes and hurried downstairs. At this time, because of the horrific explosions around and the gunshots in the hotel, all the guests in the hotel packed their bags and fled. Diaz just wanted to disguise himself and blend in with the crowd and leave.

   It's just that the people from the Intelligence Bureau rushed to the door before them, and separated a team to prevent anyone from leaving the hotel, while others rushed in to search carefully and arrest the three of them.

   "Come back!" Seeing the situation on the first floor, Diaz led Nodra, who was at the forefront, back to the stairs and hid in the stairwell.

   "They're coming in!" Nord shouted.

   "I saw it." Diaz observed the situation on the first floor through the gap, "I can't get out of the main entrance."

  Murphy suggested: "Brother, let's go out through the back window!"

"The hotel is being watched from all directions, and you can only win for a while by turning out the windows at the back, and you will be surrounded by them in a short time." Diaz shook his head and vetoed the plan, "In this way, you hide in the two First floor, I led them to the third floor, making them think that we are stubbornly resisting above, and then you find opportunities to go out through the main entrance with the flow of people."

"How-"

   "Don't waste time, let's go!" Nord instinctively wanted to refuse, but Diaz didn't give him a chance to refuse, and fled to the third floor alone after the arrangement.

   Seeing that the people from the intelligence agency were about to come to the stairs and go upstairs, Nord had to grit his teeth and hide on the second floor with Murphy.

   "Nord! You look for a chance to go, I will go and attract their attention with my brother!" Murphy couldn't do it and watched Diaz face the danger alone, so he decided to give up the chance to escape with Nord.

   "Stop!" Since the start of the battle, the nervous Nord has almost lost his ability to think, and he will do whatever Diaz asks him to do. When he heard that Murphy, who was forcibly taken care of by him recently, took care of himself in turn, he finally came back to his senses.

   "Huh?!" Murphy, who was about to go up to the third floor, turned around.

  Nord strode forward and pushed Murphy into a guest room: "I'm going to meet your brother, you find a chance to leave!"

   "Don't be arrogant at this time!" Murphy has never felt that this person who is two years older than himself is reliable.

"It's you, don't be brave!" Nord growled, "Your brother and I have been stared at every day when we go out every day. The people in the Intelligence Bureau are too familiar with my face, and I will definitely be recognized by them when I go out! You are different ! You have been staying in the room and haven't shown your face much, they don't recognize you! You are the one who is most likely to get out!"

"you-"

  Nord heard the sound of climbing the stairs: "Don't argue with me! I'm older than you, you should listen to me! Wait for me to find a chance to go out! Your brother and I will find another way! Let's go!"

   After speaking, Nord climbed three steps in one step, and came to the third floor to meet Diaz.

   "What's the matter with you?!" Diaz thought it was someone from the Intelligence Bureau who came up, and almost shot and accidentally injured Nord.

"It's more credible for the two of us to come forward, and Murphy has been staying in the house and it's not easy to be recognized, so I have to stay with you. Hold Murphy back."

   "You go back to me!"

   "It's too late!" Nord glanced at the stairs, where the people from the Intelligence Bureau had already appeared and were about to enter the second floor for investigation. He stretched out his hand and shot two shots downward.

   "Bang bang!"

  Two shots were fired, but the intelligence bureau's plan to investigate the second floor was successfully canceled.

   "They're up there!"

  Hearing the voice below, Nord was drenched in sweat, and deliberately shouted against the wall: "We have to go up!"

   "Murphy, you go first! Nord and I are in the rear!" Diaz yelled in coordination.

   After finishing speaking, the two rushed to the fourth floor together.

   "Come up! Don't block the door, everyone is running up!" Hawkins hid in the stairwell and did not dare to show his head. After calling all the subordinates blocking the door, he bravely chased up together.

Murphy, who was hiding on the second floor, waited for the people from the intelligence agency to go up. He put on a hat and carried an empty suitcase in his hiding room, and walked downstairs quickly, following the residents who were running around after no one stopped left the hotel.

  —

   ten fifteen

The explosion in the middle of the government building stopped, and a piece of ruins cut off the passages on the north and south sides, making it impossible for the captain of the guard Maguire to lead 800 guards to rush to the rescue, and because they retreated to the building before, although there is no need to worry about being breached, But it also makes it difficult for them to kill.

   "Get out of here!"

Maguire organized his troops to attack bravely, bearing the huge casualties that surged every minute and every second, and broke through outwards, but because the Equality Society turned from offense to defense, he also received a surge of support firepower, and was beaten abruptly. back.

   During the precious time of more than ten minutes, basically no considerable progress was made.

The battle situation on the other side was not so stalemate. After Boyne appeared, the morale of the members of the Equality Association was high. Morais took the opportunity to lead people forward again and again. When he reached the distance where explosives could be used, he sent people to throw them away Out of explosives to open the situation.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  After a few explosions, the gunshots at the entrance of the Intelligence Bureau decreased a lot.

   "Come on! Take down the intelligence bureau!" Seeing that the victory was imminent, Morais rushed to the front as usual, and broke into the intelligence bureau with hundreds of comrades from the Equality Society!

   "Poof!"

  After Morais was the first to break into the Intelligence Bureau and captured the simple fortifications built by members of the Intelligence Bureau, the enemy who was fighting and retreating shot him in the left arm.

   "Morais!" Verac, who had been by his side desperately since the beginning of the battle, was about to help him up.

  Moles endured the pain and fired two shots at the members of the Intelligence Bureau who fled upstairs: "I'm fine! I can hold on!"

   "Comrade Morais!"

   "Comrade Morais!"

  More and more comrades entered the Intelligence Bureau and surrounded Morais with concern.

"Don't just stand still! The battle is not over yet!" Morais' teeth chattered in pain, but in order to stabilize this hard-won advantage, he did not choose to retreat from the front line, "Verak! Take someone to rescue Rose! Kid Ting! You stay here and organize the wounded to evacuate first! Rabin, you and I take people up to rescue the president!"

"it is good!"

"clear!"

"Yes!"

At 10:16, it was actually time for them to retreat, but they were only one step away from success. No one had the idea of ​​leaving immediately. They all gritted their teeth and hoped that they would hurry up and rescue President Boyne. .

  People from the Equality Society divided into three groups in the lobby of the Intelligence Bureau.

   Morais and Rabin led the people into the stairs and rushed to the eighth floor.

  Verak was imprisoned in the interrogation room of the Intelligence Agency, so he probably knew the location of Ross, and led more than twenty people to the B1 floor non-stop.

   Keating stayed put and mobilized the others to leave with the wounded.

  —

   "Bang! Bang!"

   On the basement floor, Veraker felt that he had endless strength, so he rushed to the front, passed through several corridors, and arrived at the interrogation room.

   Fortunately, most of the people in the Intelligence Bureau fled upstairs. There were only two rebels on the basement floor.

   "Ross!" Verak shouted, turning over one interrogation room after another, and finally saw the dying Rose in the last interrogation room, "You..."

  When he saw Rose's miserable state, he couldn't even speak.

   In the past, Rose, who did the lightest work in Daymans Prison and relied on his hands to make a living, is now scarred and emaciated, even worse than he was after being abused by Lecter.

   "You..." Even though Veraker had the same experience, he couldn't imagine how Rose survived this time.

  Others came forward and broke the lock of the interrogation room, Verak and them rescued the hanging Rose.

   "Ross! It's me! Verak!" He supported Rose, and Rose closed his eyes and didn't speak, just breathing weakly, "Such a serious injury needs to be healed quickly, come and help me!"

   With the help of two people, Verak carried Rose on his back and retreated outside: "It's okay! You are free again! You will live, hold on!"

  Ross vaguely heard Veraker's voice, but he only raised the corners of his mouth a little, and there was no other excited reaction.

  He has too many hallucinations and auditory hallucinations these days. Watching Verak rescue him, watching himself play the piano again, seeing Dawn safe and sound, hearing himself telling Verak about the interrogation experience, hearing the applause of the audience, hearing the laughter of the Dawn family...

   But these beautiful scenes will be ruthlessly broken before long.

  Darkness, hunger, pain, loneliness.

   He's used to it.

   He was numb.

   "Ross! Can you hear my voice?!" Verac was panting, trying to wake Rose up, "I'm Verac! I'll take you out!"

"Ah."

  Ross snorted softly in his heart, he didn't have too much extravagant hope, he just wanted to indulge in this feeling, this feeling of hope enveloping his whole body.

   "Teacher!" After returning to the hall, Verak found Keating.

   Keating will suffer a lot, and now there is no doctor around, so he can only ask Keating to see how Ross is doing.

"Look at Rose! What's wrong with him?! Is there something wrong?!" Verak ran to Keating, put Rose down carefully for Keating to check, "I just called him for a long time, and he didn't respond at all. No!"

   "Don't worry." Keating checked Rose's condition, "...he was seriously injured, and his physical condition is worse than yours at the time, so he has to be taken out for treatment."

"it is good!"

  Ross didn't dare to open his eyes, for fear that the interrogation room would still be silent.

   But this conversation is too real.

  He couldn't resist the temptation a little, and slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him were the worried Veraker and the frowning Keating.

   "Ross?! Are you awake?! Can you hear me?!" Veraker was ecstatic to see Rose opened his eyes.

   "V-K, Chris..." Rose wanted to call out Verac's real name, but he was afraid that what he saw was also an illusion, so he kept his sense and called a false name, "Is it you..."

Hearing that Ross was still insisting on calling himself 'Chris', Verac never thought that one day he would not hate being called by this name so much, he couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "It's me, Verac .You don't have to keep the secret any more, I'll take you out."
