Chapter 356: Terrorist Attack
Chapter 356: Terrorist Attack
……
Just then, the bodyguards, who were sleeping in other rooms, also rushed over after hearing the explosion.
"Boss!"
“BOSS!”
Coupled with Matthew, seven bodyguards who had undergone two years of military training, were agile and powerful, and Guo Shouyun's mood quickly became stable.
"Paul, Barry, you two go see Rebecca and pick her up by the way!"
"Yes!"
"Remember, be careful. If you can't do anything, return it immediately. ”
"Natu, Kasimov, you go outside and take a look. As soon as there is a disturbance, come back and report it immediately. ”
"Lao Luo, Hall, take out what we prepared, you can use it now!"
With Guo Shouyun's three clear orders, the three groups of people acted separately. Not long after, Rebecca, who was wearing purple pajamas and had a hint of panic and fear in her expression, was brought over.
"Boss, we have encountered a terrorist attack!" Seeing Guo Shouyun, Rebecca's mood became much calmer.
"I know. Don't worry, with me, everyone will be fine!"
Noticing the strong bodyguards around her, Rebecca nodded vigorously.
"Boss, something has been brought!"
Huaxia Heihu Lao Luo, Tajikistani Hor, both of them walked over with a big suitcase in their hands.
"Open!"
The two of them did what they said, and when the proofreading code was opened, something that surprised Rebecca appeared in front of her.
"With these things, our safety is somewhat guaranteed. Come on, put them all on!"
"Boss, do you also bring body armor and a helmet?"
"Since Molly's accident, I've never let up on my safety and the safety of those around me. Moreover, it is difficult to pass through the security checks of other countries without carrying rifles and grenades. Now you see not only body armor, helmets, daggers, etc., but M16 and M249 squad machine guns, as well as flash shock grenades, tear gas cannades, and gun grenades. After a pause, Guo Shouyun handed over a set of bulletproof vests, "Put it on, it can save your life at a critical moment!"
This time, Rebecca did not hesitate, and quickly took the equipment in Guo Shouyun's hand and changed it. Nothing is as important as its own life.
"Jingle bell...!"
Just then, the phone rang. Matthew stepped forward to connect and hung up a few seconds later.
"Boss, the hotel management said that it was attacked by terrorists, and now they have set up a safe house on the second basement floor, let us take the elevator to get there. ”
"Hmm!"
Guo Shouyun nodded and said nothing.
"Boss, aren't you going to go over?" asked Rebecca quickly.
"Of course!"
"Why, the safe house is definitely safer than here!" said Rebecca, with a hint of excitement in her tone.
"Rebecca. Just because the word "safe" is on it doesn't mean it's safe there. First of all, the big the target, and the terrorists are not stupid, will they leave so many hostages unattended? Second, these guys have bombs on them, and what safe house can withstand explosives. Finally, apart from you, we have eight people here who have combat power, and in such a large hotel, as long as you don't touch the enemy's guns, it is far safer to stay here than to go to some safe house!"
Guo Shouyun's words fell, and footsteps came from outside again. Soon, Natu and Kasimov, who had gone outside to investigate the situation, returned.
"Boss, the investigation is clear, the terrorists who attacked the hotel are about 15 people, armed with AK47s, grenades, RDX explosives and IEDs. At present, we have taken control of the hall on the first floor, and are heading towards the second floor, and I am afraid that we will be able to reach us in two minutes. Kasimov fasttracked.
RDX explosives, also known as black sorkin, are a military high-performance explosive that is more powerful than TNT and picric acid. As for IEDs, the scientific name is 'improvised explosive device', and the common name is 'roadside bomb'. Powerful and simple to make, it is an essential weapon for asymmetrical combat.
"It's all military supplies, it seems that these guys are prepared!" Guo Shouyun frowned.
"Boss, the weapons we have in our hands are Beretta pistols, in addition to daggers, dog-legged knives, and crossbows, and there are only three magazines per person. The number of people is only half of the other party, and I am afraid that the next situation will be very dangerous. Matthew said solemnly.
"I know, but the hotel is so big, they can't have people all together. This is our chance!" Guo Shouyun said after a moment of silence.
"You're going to take the initiative?"
"I have this idea, but not now!" after a pause, "The Taj Mahal Hotel is the most prestigious five-star hotel in Mumbai, and it is either rich or expensive to enter and exit here, plus it is such a big thing as a terrorist attack. No matter how inefficient the Indian government is, in order to reduce international influence and pressure, it will organize forces to attack as soon as possible. Now what we have to do is to hide ourselves as much as possible, and when the Indian police or special forces start to attack and contain these terrorists head-on, we will find an opportunity to leave this place of right and wrong. ”
Matthew nodded, hesitated, "What if we are discovered by the terrorists...!"
"Then fight!" Guo Shouyun said fiercely, "When there is no way out, we can only survive by ourselves." ”
"Yes!"
The crowd roared.
"Alright, put the gun on the silencer. Just be alert to those guys and don't close the door. If someone breaks in, kill him!" Guo Shouyun said.
Everyone did as they were told, and Matthew, with six bodyguards, instantly scattered around the room. Three of the guns were pointed at the door, and they were not relentless when there was any movement.
"Sit down!"
Guo Shouyun pointed to the sofa in the bedroom.
Rebecca nodded, looking at Guo Shouyun, who was young but extremely calm at the moment.
"Boss, aren't you nervous and scared at all?"
"Of course not. It's something I've endured in the past year that I shouldn't have endured. So, it's not hard for me to control my emotions. And, with Matthew on them, why am I afraid?"
At this time, Matthew and the others had already closed the curtains and darkened everything in the room. But the more this happened, the more it seemed that the gunshots, explosions, and wails outside were so clear that they seemed to be close at hand. makes Rebecca, who prides herself on her calm psychological quality, very nervous.
Although she is a business genius, she is also experienced and has extraordinary skills. But he has never encountered a situation that has gone through life and death.
Compared with himself, and then looked at the man next to him with a calm face and closed his eyes, and a strong admiration still rose in his heart.
"No wonder he was able to achieve such amazing success at such a young age, and sure enough, there was a reason for everything!" Rebecca thought to herself.
Under the influence of Guo Shouyun, Rebecca's originally nervous mood has also become a little calmer. However, as she listened to the chaos outside getting closer and closer to her, her heart rose again.
"Click...!"
The door opened, but soon there were gunshots next door or beyond. With a few incomprehensible scoldings and kicking the door, the footsteps gradually faded away.
At this moment, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Shouyun, who was sitting in the chair, also let go of the fist that had been clenched.
If nothing else, the first wave of danger is over. At this moment, Guo Shouyun's mobile phone suddenly rang.
His face changed, and after he quickly took it out and hung up, he glanced at the caller ID before he breathed a sigh of relief and dialed back.
"Mr. Tata...!"
"Mr. Guo, where are you now?" interrupted Ratan Tata anxiously.
"Taj Mahal Hotel!"
Ratan Tata's heart sank. This is the last thing he wants to see.
"Mr. Guo, I'm very sorry. We didn't expect to be in such a situation. The Taj Mahal Hotel has not been subjected to a terrorist attack in more than 100 years since its establishment. ”
The Taj Mahal Hotel is the property of the Tata Group, and as the group's chairman, Ratan Tata is undoubtedly under the most pressure right now.
"Mr. Tata, instead of saying sorry now, let's think about how to rescue the hotel's guests. These terrorists kill people on sight, gunshots and grenades are heard outside, and your Taj Mahal Hotel has turned into a sea of corpses and blood!"
After a moment of silence in the earpiece, Ratan Tata's heavy voice came again.
"Mr. Guo, please rest assured. I'll do my best to rescue you!"
"I hope so!"
After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun sat on the chair for a while and then picked up the phone again.
"Boss?"
Buddy Morris was puzzled, why did Guo Shouyun, who had just called, call again?
"Buddy, immediately organized the Matrix Media News Department to send out the news of the terrorist attack on the five-star hotel in Mumbai, India, as soon as possible, with heavy casualties among hotel passengers and more than 50 people killed. ”
"The boss... You're not kidding?" Buddy Morris was simply stunned. Terrorist attacks? When did the whole world become a terrorist attack? Is it a prelude to the outbreak of World War III?
"When have I ever joked with you!
As he spoke, Guo Shouyun opened the public release, and in an instant, the sound of gunfire outside reached Buddy Morris's ears through the earpiece. "I'll take a few pictures and send them to your mailbox in a moment. ”
"Okay!" After subconsciously agreeing, Buddy Morris, who reacted, said instantly, "Boss, where are you, you have encountered a terrorist attack?"
"Thank goodness your mind has finally turned!"
Ignoring his teasing, Buddy Morris's voice instantly rose an octave.
"Boss, run. That's a terrorist attack!!"
"If I could, I would have run. However, you don't have to worry, I have enough bodyguards here to keep my life safe. Your task is to get the news out there, to get ahead of CNN, CBS, and NBC, and to draw the attention of the whole of America to our C TV. ”
Guo Shouyun is convinced that after 9/11, the American people's sensitivity to terrorist attacks, C TV will definitely become an instant hit.
"But you...!"
"Don't do it, do as I say. I'm going to call LinkedIn News and hang up for now!"
After seeing him hang up the phone, Rebecca next to him couldn't help but say: "BOSS, it's time like this, you don't forget to work!"
"Hehe, it's boring to sit here anyway. Work is the right to relax and relieve boredom. Moreover, I was so unlucky to be attacked by a terrorist attack, this fright cannot be in vain!"
After Guo Shouyun called Rick Baie, the head of LinkedIn News, and suffered similar shock, worry and disbelief as Buddy Morris, it all ended.
However, for news to be credible and powerful, it is clear that words alone will not work. Therefore, Guo Shouyun quickly took out the camera he was carrying.
"Do you really want to take a picture?" Rebecca said in disbelief.
"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet. As he spoke, Guo Shouyun walked to the bed with the camera, lifted the curtain and looked down, and the messy situation at the door of the Taj Mahal Hotel instantly came into view. And, under the illumination of neon lights and flames after the explosion, although it was night, the sight was clear.
There's not much more to say. Take pictures, take videos, and then use the hotel's broadband to send them to the United States, thousands of miles away. Of course, speed is a headache, but it works, doesn't it?
The time of the attack on the Taj Mahal Hotel was midnight, and it was exactly noon in Los Angeles. According to the basic habit of human beings, when eating, we should always look at what is happening around us or in the world. As a result, TV C quickly attracted the attention of the whole United States with Guo Shouyun's videos and photos.
Soon, the news of the terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal Hotel, a five-star hotel in Mumbai, India, with heavy casualties, spread around the world through the offline channels of Matrix Media and LinkedIn News.
Americans who still remember the tragic memory of 9/11 are paying special attention to it. Therefore, the ratings of the news channel of TV C, which has not yet been divided, instantly increased by nearly ten times.
Of course, these are things that Guo Shouyun doesn't know. By this time, his attention had been drawn to the Indian police, who were gathering more and more outside, and had begun to tentatively attack the hotel.
"Why didn't they move?"
Looking at the hundreds of Mumbai police officers who didn't even enter the hotel door, and were only beaten by the terrorists a few times, Rebecca said in disbelief and anger.
"Do you expect the Indian police, who usually don't know how to shoot a gun other than bullying the common people, to attack a dozen well-trained terrorists?
"Boss, look!"
Matthew's voice made Guo Shouyun subconsciously look outside. I saw that the Indian policemen who had returned had piled up sandbags and barricades outside the hotel.
"What are they doing?" asked Rebecca. She is a veteran business elite, but she is a novice to the military at all.
"Put up the barrier!"
"Obstacles, are they ready to go on the offensive?"
"Of course not. They are afraid that the terrorists will attack, and they will not be able to resist it. Guo Shouyun sneered.
Obstacles are generally used for defense, with sandbags and barbed wire being common obstacles. Now the Indian police out there are doing all this stuff.
"These guys are such soft eggs!" Matthew said dismissively.
"Stop complaining. If you have time, you might as well help me take some videos!" As he spoke, Guo Shouyun picked up the camera again.
Anyway, being idle is idle, and doing something can also express tension.
