Chapter 85 Heroes
Equipped with a dozen AKs, our firepower is not inferior to the remaining kidnappers outside the door. From one of the kidnappers who fell to the ground, we got a communicator that could contact the temporary police headquarters downstairs and report the current situation to them.
The SWAT officers who had been on standby outside the building for a long time descended from the sky, broke through the windows, and protected us all. Under these well-trained Russian soldiers, we were arranged to walk down the stairs. Although all the hostages were tired, no one complained. Compared to the threat of death, walking down the 27th floor is even a kind of beauty. We went downstairs in an orderly manner, but we heard the gunshots of the SWAT and kidnappers exchanging gunfire, and we left the battlefield to the most professional police.
The team of more than 30 people went down from the 27th floor to the first floor for nearly 20 minutes. The moment the bright chandelier in the hall shone on everyone's bodies, all the hostages cheered with joy, and some of the emotional women even cried. After so many days of torture, crying out is indeed a good way to vent.
Everyone in the Temporary Command was standing in front of me and Lao Gen at the moment. They saluted us in unison. Alexei also gave me a hug with the most traditional Russian etiquette: "Congratulations, hero." ”
Alexey said the word hero very loudly, and the hostages around him heard it clearly. At me and Lao Gen, these hostages who came down alive couldn't stop nodding and applauding. Their gazes were fiery and sincere, and their applause was firm and powerful. They surrounded me and Lao Gen, hugging us one by one.
Embracing these immortal hostages, I suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
Am I a hero? I didn't want to save these hostages in the first place, I just wanted to rescue my brother Lao Gen. But I managed to save these hostages, these strangers who had nothing to do with me. Their hug was very warm, and it made me remember and reminisce about this heroic feeling.
It seems like a good feeling to be a hero.
"Thank you, wood. When the hostages were sent away, Lao Gen slowly came to me, "Without you, I would have died there." Lao Gen put his arm around my shoulders and nodded.
"We are brothers, be polite to me. I grinned, "You've saved me more times, so you must come over to save me, right?" took out the bank card in Lao Gen's pocket, "Here you go, I don't dare to touch the banknotes you honor your master." ”
"Hey. Lao Gen smiled proudly and took the bank card, "It's quite interesting, I'll ask you for it." ”
"I have to go, brother. "The police around me were busy rescuing the hostages, and I knew that this was not the place for someone like me, who didn't even have an identity. After being a hero, I'm destined to go back to my mad dog path, my boxing game hasn't started yet, and I'm going to return to my ring after all.
"Good. Lao Gen's face also showed loneliness, he understood my identity and situation. Squeezed a smile out at me, "What can I do?"
I thought for a moment: "The two million dollars I brought upstairs were taken by the police, and it was my own money. If possible, you'll have to help me get back. ”
That money was left to my master and Liu Yuxi, and it really hurt my heart to be taken away like this.
"You've made a lot of money behind my back, hey, you kid! I'll do my best. Lao Gen handed me a cigarette and lit it himself, "What are you going to do next?" took a deep breath, and a third of the length of the cigarette was sucked off at once. Lao Gen is still not worried about the next path I will take.
"I don't want to be a hero anymore. I laughed, "It's too dangerous, I'm timid, and I don't have the marksmanship you can shoot anywhere." "I don't want Lao Gen to worry, so I don't really want to take his words. We both understood that my path was predestined the moment I left the country.
"Take care of yourself. Lao Gen nodded emphatically. Reporters also flocked in at this time, and their eyes all fell on me and Lao Gen, and the performance of the two of us was broadcast live, which can be regarded as a big hot spot now.
"Gone. "Looking at the reporters with burning eyes, my scalp tingled. Pulling Alexei: "Send me out, friend!" I can only leave the trouble here to Lao Gen, and I can't control how he responds.
"This is a great opportunity to become famous!" Alex joked, but helped me squeeze through the crowd and get me into a car, starting the car, "Where to go, big hero." ”
Even though my collar was cocked up to obscure most of my face, the reporters kept flashing after me. Through the window, my eyes flashed with ghosting.
"Whatever, just get out of here. "I didn't dare to tell Alexey the address of the hotel, the doubt about my identity would be revealed sooner or later, and I didn't want to cause myself unnecessary trouble.
Alex kicked the accelerator, and the police car rushed out with a crash. Looking in the rearview mirror, I could see that the reporters were even taking pictures of our police cars, and they were really dedicated.
"You're not an ordinary police officer, are you?" Alexei turned his face to look at me, "Don't tell me you're an expert negotiator, I can see your throwing knives on the live stream, you're so handsome!" Alexei gestured at me.
Alexey is always the elite of the police force, and there is no point in me lying anymore. But I really couldn't answer Alexey's words, did I tell him that I was an underground fighter who killed a lot of people? I reluctantly remained silent and smiled at Alexi's mechanical smile.
"OK, I know your rules, you can't reveal your identity. Alexei shrugged, taking me for a secret agent of the government, "But you're doing a thrilling live broadcast in front of the whole world." Although we can only hear your voice in the second half, your performance is amazing to the whole world. If you have Weibo, you will have countless fans all of a sudden, friend!"
"Sorry, I don't have that. The sight flying by outside the window told me that I was far away from the building, and I patted Alexey on the shoulder, "Alright, brother, let's go down here." ”
"So fast?" Alexei obviously wanted to talk to me, but I couldn't find a topic to talk to. Slowly pulling the car to the side of the road, Alexei stretched out his right hand: "Are we going to say goodbye?"
Holding Alexey's hand, I smiled: "There is a saying in China, you will see you again when you have a fate, friend." ”
"Hmm. Alexei nodded, "Goodbye, hero!"
After Alex left, I casually flagged down a taxi and got in.
"You know, the hostages in the Jinshan Mansion have been rescued. "The middle-aged taxi driver started talking to me as soon as I opened the door and entered," said on the radio, saying that he had been rescued by two Nova agents. ”
"Yes. I smiled slightly, "That's good, so many people have been saved, and it's good news in the past few days." ”
"The two agents are said to have been hand-picked by the president. "The taxi driver said that he had a nose and eyes, as if he had seen it with his own eyes," and it has gone crazy on the Internet, and the radio also said that there is another video streaming out. If I'm not out of duty right now, I'll definitely go back and see. By the way, where are you going?"
I said the address of the hotel and spent some time on the road amid the chatter of the taxi driver. But I wasn't disgusted, I was just a little uncomfortable listening to the taxi driver's compliments.
When I arrived at the hotel, Xiao Yang and Popov were all waiting for me in the lobby. Seeing my return, Xiao Yang gave me a hug fiercely: "I saw the live broadcast, wood." You're really 。。。。。。 Is....... Xiao Yang didn't say it, but hugged me tightly, "Just come back!"
"A mad dog is a mad dog. Popov shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to do such a crazy thing! ”
I nodded in acknowledgement. It's not important, it's life and death.
"Isn't it hurt?" Popov pulled me and looked me up and down. Sure enough, what he was most concerned about was whether I could successfully carry out the gamble worth tens of millions that he had arranged.
"No problem. "I don't have any problems other than some physical exhaustion. Now that I've received two million from Popov, I'm sure I'll continue the fight.
"You are a hero of Russia!" Seeing that I was in good health, Popov also smiled heartily and praised him without hesitation, "I didn't look at the wrong person." ”
At this time, a man dressed in a camouflage uniform with the rank of colonel walked into the lobby of the hotel and walked towards us. Facing me, he saluted a standard military salute: "Mr. Shen, our general wants to see you." ”
I frowned: "General Burgonev?"
"Yes. The Colonel nodded, did not look at the crowd, and made a gesture of please to me, "My car is parked outside, please follow me." ”
I didn't expect to be identified so quickly and chased to the hotel. The efficiency with which the state apparatus operates is truly staggering.
Xiao Yang nodded to me and said in Chinese, "Go ahead, be careful when you speak." ”
Popov, on the other hand, looked a little confused, he didn't know what was going on. I didn't even know that I was able to go upstairs in the name of the personnel sent by the general.
"That's good. "Waving to the crowd, I followed the colonel to a military vehicle again.
Experiencing life and death several times in one night made my state of mind seem very calm at the moment. It's just a matter of meeting the general, but what can be the worst?
