Chapter 733: Stalemate
Soon the man with the red hood appeared, holding a black sniper rifle in his hand, and walked slowly.
"I heard, you want to talk to me directly?" said the Red Baron with a shrug.
"That's right, you're looking for you, the Red Baron. Lin Rui said coldly, "Let your people all get out of the way." Let us go, or we'll all be doomed together. ā
"Then why don't I kill you and remove the threat directly?" the red baron picked up his gun and aimed at Lin Rui, "I can shoot you through the head with one shot, and the bullet will penetrate your brain precisely and cut off your nerve movements." You simply don't have the reaction time to press the remote. ā
"Of course I know your marksmanship, but don't doubt that we're prepared. Lin Rui sneered, "The detonating device is loose, as soon as I let go, the bomb tied to the thermostatic suitcase will explode." The virus will spread throughout the base, even in the woods, and no one will be immune. ā
"Wow, that's a good point. But I seem to have some doubts that you have such a determination to die. Or are you just trying to intimidate me?" said the Red Baron with a shrug.
"I'm not trying to intimidate you, I really want to kill you, Red Baron. However, I still have basic work ethic, and the task is number one. Lin Rui looked at him and sneered.
"So, you are mercenaries?" the red baron's expression moved, "I remember your voice, you are the kid named Lin Rui who followed Zhao Jianfei." ā
"That's right! It's Lao Tzu me!" Lin Rui shouted, "You once shot two of my comrades-in-arms in front of me, and now you still doubt my determination to die with you?"
"Then I'll send you to meet your comrades! The Ebola virus won't spread so quickly, and we will still have time to leave calmly after we kill you. The Red Baron snapped.
"It's just an ordinary virus, not a second- or even third-generation virus that has been deliberately bred for weaponization. How high is the infection rate of this thing, why don't you ask this Dr. Schmeed?!" Lin Rui dragged Schmed to his side and laughed loudly.
Schmed said helplessly, "It's true. Proviruses do have various drawbacks, but my cultivation has changed that. Virus 2 is more infectious and can survive in the air for more than two days, which means that the virus can be transmitted through the air. ā
This time the Red Baron finally decided to give in, and he waved his hand and ordered, "You go and get the people inside." Anyway, let's put them outside the real yĆ n room first. ā
"Ah, Baron, we don't really want to let them go, do we?" said one of the Red Baron's men, looking at the Red Baron in surprise.
"When did I become so soft-hearted?" the Red Baron sneered, "They are now close to the real yĆ n room, which is completely closed, and they have the virus in their hands. Have you ever thought that if you push them too hard, they might detonate a virus bomb and then hide in the real room themselves.
But if we lure them out, where do they flee? Wherever they flee they are surrounded by us. It can be said that if they really come out, it will be even more disadvantageous to them. Inform the guards on the periphery to gather in the middle, and I'll see how they escape. ā
"I see. The leader of the guards beside the Red Baron nodded.
The guards surrounding the room gradually retreated. Sergei whispered to Lin Rui, "Your intimidation seems to have worked, and they started to retreat." ā
"No, you don't know the Red Baron, he's only temporarily retreating the encirclement, and we're still under their absolute control. He wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and lead us outside. Lin Rui calmly analyzed.
"And what do we do?" Sergei said in a low voice.
"Let them think we've been fooled and follow them. Wherever they retreat, we will follow. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Don't forget that we still have Jiang'an and the others here, and soon the stalemate here will be opened." ā
Sergei nodded, "I wonder how they're doing now?"
"It seems that the Red Baron's people haven't spotted them yet, and everyone's attention is focused on this place, and it's easy to ignore the other places. Lin Rui whispered, then connected to the wireless communication, and said in a low voice, "Jiang'an, report the situation there." ā
"We've infiltrated the tarmac, we've taken out the nearby guards, and now both helicopters are under our control. Shogishi reported, "How are you doing there?"
"I'm not optimistic here, these guys can crush us if they fire together. Lin Rui smiled.
"Do you need us to come and help?" said Shogishi in a low voice.
"It's useless, even if you do, you'll be surrounded by a lot of people. Your current position is even more advantageous. Lin Rui replied, "What about Sergeant Green? Let Wang Haoze and Jason help him rescue those captured American soldiers. In such cases, they can be very useful. ā
"We heard your alarm, so Grimm and they had already started the rescue operation two minutes ago. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"Very well, Sue Green, after rescuing the captured American troops, we will all withdraw to the tarmac, and we will move closer to you immediately. A few of you hold there, those two helicopters are our last hope for evacuation. Otherwise, we would have been forced to fight two or three hundred men in the woods. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"Understood!" replied Shogishi,
Lin Rui turned his head and looked at Lu Hanxin, "Doctor, try to move with us and stand behind us." ā
"Where are we going?" Lu Hanxin said nervously.
Lin Rui poked Professor Schmed with a gun, "Let's go, let's go to the helipad." ā
"Listen to me, you're playing with fire. That Red Baron is a madman, and he's going to kill us all. He would never let any of us go alive. Instead of plotting how to escape, it is better to take this opportunity to make peace with them. Professor Schmed said viciously, "You're going to kill us all." ā
"Yes, I don't feel sorry for you at all. Lin Rui shrugged, "Hurry up, don't force me to use force against you." ā
Lin Rui, Sergei, and Lu Hanxin escorted Professor Schmeed, carrying a thermostat containing C4 explosives, and moved towards the location of the tarmac little by little. The guards surrounding them were also gradually retreating, but still maintaining their encirclement.
However, this still stalemate was quickly broken, and an explosion and a violent burst of gunfire were suddenly heard in the northwest corner of the virus research base.
