Chapter 810: Suddenly
Meng Zitao calmly returned to his seat, and then heard Shu Ze ask, "What do you think of this piece of seed raw stone?"
Meng Zitao replied: "I think it's very good, I'm quite satisfied, I'm ready to start, what do you think?"
Shu Ze didn't seem too satisfied: "I think it's okay, although the size is relatively large, the performance in some places is average, and I saw a relatively large crack on the back, and I don't know what effect it has on the jade meat inside." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Meng Zitao had also seen Shu Ze touch the original stone just now, so he knew that only he should be able to feel the heat flow, in fact, this is normal, if everyone can feel the heat flow, the atmosphere on the scene cannot be so calm.
Of course, this is exactly what Meng Zitao wants to see the most, so that no one will compete with him.
In the end, this is a 300-pound seed rough stone, which is inconvenient to carry, and secondly, from the appearance, there are some not very good performances on the rough stone, which may have a relatively large impact on the jade meat inside, and many participants are not interested in it, so it was finally purchased by Meng Zitao at a price of 1.2 million US dollars.
As time went on, the auction was coming to an end, and the treasures were appearing one after another, causing fierce competition again and again, and even if it is over now, it is not an exaggeration to say that this auction is a grand event.
The penultimate lot, it was the horse stepping on the Feiyan, I saw the auctioneer smile and said to the guests present: "This lot must not need me to do more introduction, I believe everyone knows, let's start bidding, the starting price is 10 million, each increase shall not be less than 1 million, please bid!"
After round after round of competition just now, everyone became more rational when bidding, and for nearly a minute, no one was making the rafters.
The auctioneer was not in a hurry, looking around with a smile on his face, waiting for the first customer to make a bid.
Some people felt impatient with this constant consumption, however, when he was about to speak, suddenly the hull of the ship shook violently, and the whole ship shook violently, which startled everyone in the hall, and some people accidentally fell to the place because of this sudden accident.
"What's going on!"
"What did you hit here?"
"Did you crash into another ship?"
"This is the high seas, and it's not a busy shipping lane, how could there be such a coincidence? Besides, isn't there a radar warning?"
For a while, there was a mess in the hall, but fortunately, most of the people who came here were rich people who had gone through the wind and waves, and they were not like headless flies for a while.
But immediately after, everyone heard the "boom" explosion one after another, and now, no matter how much they went through the wind and waves, they couldn't help but be afraid, at this time, as long as someone took the lead, it could cause serious riots.
"Please don't worry, we have a very strong escort force on our ship, and we can withstand the attack of the regular army......"
The staff kept talking to comfort the guests in the hall, and at first it did work, but immediately there were explosions and fierce gunfire, and it was supposed that the two groups were exchanging fire.
And what frightens everyone even more is that the gunshots and explosions are getting louder and louder, indicating that they are approaching the auction hall.
In this case, who dares to take chances, as someone shouts "Run", the fear instantly erupts and is contagious, and many people rush in the direction where the side doors are located.
"Zitao, what should we do?" Shu Ze squatted down, and he was a little anxious in his heart.
Meng Zitao was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that Luo Haixu and Abel not far away were wearing protective glasses and masks on their faces, just when he felt bad, the two of them threw something out of their hands, and with two sounds, two thick puffs of smoke instantly rose and began to spread around.
What surprised Meng Zitao even more was that not only them, but smoke rose one after another from several points around them, but in the blink of an eye, the hall was already full of smoke.
The sudden change caused coughs and screams in the hall to rise one after another, but Dajun and Jiang Xing reacted quickly, hurriedly removed the cloth on the sofa on the seat, poured the mineral water prepared by the organizer, and motioned to Meng Zitao and Shu Ze to cover their mouths and noses with cloths.
Mencius took a piece of cloth and tied it like a scarf, and said, "You wait here first, and I'll go and get the horse to ride on the Feiyan!"
Before the words fell, he ran out of the room, and with his amazing memory, ran to the rostrum.
As soon as Meng Zitao ran onto the rostrum, he saw that two people had already fought, one was a guard on the cruise ship, and the other was wearing a black suit, which should be the bodyguard who came with the participants, but the specific identity is unknown.
There are three people on each side, and the movements in their hands are extremely fierce, all of them are aimed at the deadly parts of the other party.
Meng Zitao didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he didn't care about these people, so he rushed straight to the exhibition cabinet, hit the glass hard with his elbow, and only heard the sound of "bang", and the tempered glass was actually broken by him.
This movement made several people who were fighting stunned, and one of the guards shouted loudly and reprimanded in English: "Put it down!"
Meng Zitao didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and ran under the rostrum.
"Stop him!"
With the guard shouting again, he saw a vigorous figure, rushing towards Meng Zitao from the stage, however, he was fast, Meng Zitao's speed was faster, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Meng Zitao in front of him, and then he felt a huge force in his chest, and his body immediately flew upside down, directly smashing down a sofa a few meters away, and then stopped, but he couldn't get up for half a day.
Of course, Meng Zitao was relieved, he returned to his seat directly, tore a piece of cloth and wrapped Ma Ta Feiyan. Due to the relatively large smoke at the scene and the chaotic situation, the guards did not see where Meng Zitao had run at all. And for the guests who are in chaos, it is too late to escape, how can they have time to care about Meng Zitao.
"What about what we filmed earlier?" asked Shu Ze.
Meng Zitao said: "Don't worry about this for now, let's talk about it when we get to a safe place." ā
In fact, Meng Zitao also wanted to know where the lots were just now, but no matter how good the things were, it was still the most important thing.
"But where are we going to get out safe?" Shu Ze asked the crucial question.
The current situation is a bit complicated, the gunshots at the main entrance of the hall are constantly coming, and from time to time there are explosions, and even the sound of heavy machine guns, it can be seen that the situation outside is very intense, even if Meng Zitao is skilled, he is not a real superman now, it is impossible to block the bullets, and he must avoid the head-on firefight.
Meng Zitao thought for a while: "Let's go out through the exit on the right." ā
"Right side?" Shu Ze also thought for a moment: "Why don't you go out through the exit on the left?"
"Because on the left is the place where those staff moved in and out of the lots, why is there a conflict outside, presumably because of one of the lots, let's go out from there, isn't it a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
As he spoke, Mencius thought of the pair of ancient Egyptian scepters and tokens, and he continued: "I think you should still be thinking about that ginseng, and I also want to help you get that ginseng, but safety is the first premise, let's honestly think about other things under the condition of ensuring our own safety." ā
Shu Ze was a little embarrassed and nodded in agreement.
Next, the army took the lead, after Jiang woke up to the palace, a group of four people hurriedly walked to the door on the right, at this moment, there were also some guests, under the protection of the bodyguards, through the entrance and exit on the right side, and the group hurriedly mixed in.
Just as Meng Zitao and the others were about to go out from the door, as the smoke gradually dissipated and the sight in the hall gradually returned to normal, a guard who was injured in a fight on the rostrum just now found Meng Zitao and hurriedly said: "Quickly stop the man in the blue T-shirt, he is the one who snatched the horse and stepped on Feiyan!"
The staff at the door reacted immediately, however, Dajun and Jiang Xing moved faster, using their hands and feet together, and directly climbed down the staff and guards.
"Let's go!"
Meng Zitao walked out of the hall quickly with Shu Ze, and then ran in the direction where there was no gunshot, during this period, there were guards who came to interfere, and Meng Zitao was not polite, and took direct action, so that the other party temporarily lost the ability to act.
If it were a formal auction venue, Meng Zitao would definitely not do this, but among today's lots, there are many obvious traces of new pits on them, and it is not difficult to guess the origin, of course he will not be polite.
After running for a while, seeing that the gunfire had become much quieter, Meng Zitao slowed down and asked, "Aze, can your satellite phone work now?"
Shu Ze picked up the satellite phone: "There is already a signal, I will immediately ask someone to come over to help." ā
"Okay, find a safe place to fight. ā
The group found a hidden angle to hide for the time being, Shu Ze dialed the satellite phone, Dajun and Jiang Xing remained vigilant, and Meng Zitao observed the surrounding situation.
After a while, Shu Ze put away the phone and said, "A warship has been sent from above, but it will take a while to come to us, what should we do during this time, just hide here?"
"It's not like that. Meng Zitao shook his head: "It's not clear now, what the other party is going to do, and you see, now the hull is slowly tilting, it should be that the hull was injured in the impact just now, plus the two sides are fighting, no one knows if it will cause something to happen to the ship, if the ship will sink, our situation will be even more difficult." ā
"Then let's go find a lifeboat!"
"We don't have any firearms, and even if we find a lifeboat, aren't we using them as targets?"
Shu Ze saw that Meng Zitao already had an idea, and said: "Then what do you think, if you have any ideas, just say it directly." ā
Meng Zitao said: "My idea is actually very simple, you stay here to ensure your own safety, and I will investigate the situation." ā
"No, no!" Shu Ze shook his head again and again to object: "In case something happens to you, how can I tell Wanyi and Uncle Wan when I go back, not to mention your parents, they only have your son, you can't bear to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "What you said is too exaggerated, don't you know my skills? ā
Shu Ze still objected: "As the old saying goes, drowning will make water, not to mention, you don't have a gun!"
Meng Zitao said: "Then what should we do? Sit back and wait? If the attacking side wins, we still have to face their guns, right?"
Shu Ze was stunned: "Maybe they lost?"
"Look at what this is?" Meng Zitao pointed to the horse that he had just snatched over and stepped on Feiyan.
"Uh......" Shu Ze was a little speechless.
Meng Zitao patted Shu Ze on the shoulder: "Okay, I know you care about my safety, but at this time, we can only change from passive to active and strive for more life." ā
Shu Ze was silent for a moment: "Let the army accompany you." ā
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "No need, I will be more at ease if there is an army to protect you." And it's more convenient for me to move alone. ā
Seeing that Meng Zitao had made up his mind, Shu Ze knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to remind: "You must pay attention to safety." ā
"Don't worry, besides, we can use the intercom to contact us at any time. Meng Zitao took out the small intercom equipment brought by the army and Jiang Xing with special means.
Shu Ze only remembered that there was still this thing at this time, and with the contact tool, he was also a lot more relieved.
Adjust the frequency of the intercom equipment, Meng Zitao set off, of course he did not return from the original road, but went around a circle, anyway, the passage of the cruise ship extends in all directions, except for the distance of the road, there is no other difference.
Meng Zitao needed a firearm most now, and in addition to seizing it from the personnel on both sides, it was also obtained from the place where the weapons were placed on the cruise ship.
So, Meng Zitao quickly tied up a panicked crew member and used some means to get information about some key places on the cruise ship.
Knocking the crew unconscious, Meng Zitao said into the intercom device: "The gunfire is more intense in the main places of the cruise ship, and it is likely that this attack is not just for the auction, but may be for revenge." The problem now is that if the two sides kill the red eye, we will be in great danger, and even if the organizers win, they may choose to kill for their own safety. ā
Shu Ze understood what Meng Zitao said, even if Meng Zitao didn't grab the horse just now, their situation was not much better, and he couldn't help but scold: "Made, what the hell is going on!"
Meng Zitao said: "It seems that I still need to go to Xue Wenguang. ā
Xue Wenguang belongs to the staff here, and he is not qualified to participate in the auction, and only when the auction is over, he will find Meng Zitao and them. Therefore, Meng Zitao didn't know where Xue Wenguang was now, and he might have died in the fierce gunfight.
Just do it, Meng Zitao found another staff member to ask for clues, and finally learned that high-level brokers like Xue Wenguang were all arranged to rest on the upper floor, but what is the situation now, whether they have been transferred, this person is unknown.
