Chapter 12: Confusion
The surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness - it cannot be said to be completely plunged, because some light from the outside world could still be obtained from the window, but at this moment, due to the drastic transition between light and darkness, it was a huge impact on people's vision and psychology.

But this is not bad, although this sudden situation makes people a little flustered, but still subconsciously wait in place, to see if the lights will be on again or wait for the arrival of the building staff. But at this moment, a red light flashed in a corner of the fourth floor, and then a huge explosion sounded, and the violent air wave knocked all the people nearby to the ground, and the rubble and debris flew out in all directions.
This finally made the scene chaotic, and the screams immediately resounded, and all kinds of footsteps, pushing and falling, and shouting of pain came and went.
Xin Yuan, who originally wanted to leave quickly, stopped instead, and immediately lowered his body alertly and hid under the table, and by the way, he pulled Xu Youran to his side, just avoiding the explosion and the chaotic crowd behind. Since you missed the opportunity to avoid it at the first time, you can't rush now, find a relatively safe place to stay to avoid getting involved in chaos, and wait until you have collected enough information to judge what to do next.
Xin Yuan squinted his eyes and will stick his head out a little to the fourth floor to observe how the situation is.
Suddenly, there was a cold, damp touch on his arm, which were Xu Youran's handsβher palms were already soaked with sweat.
"Out of ...... What's wrong? "After all, she's just a girl, and it's understandable that it's hard to stay calm when this happens.
"It could be an attack." Xin Yuan looked back at her, thought about it and said a few more words, "The main target must be on the fourth floor, we are just affected." Remember, don't shout, follow me, and you'll be fine. β
"Hmm, hmm......" Xu Youran nodded again and again, in this environment, Xin Yuan's calm analysis was more effective than comforting words, and it was more able to calm her uneasiness.
And Xin Yuan's mind was spinning rapidly at this time.
ββ¦β¦ If I'm the mastermind, ...... That is to kill and injure those who stand up to stop the chaos, and to make the chaos even worse...... The bodyguards of the rich people below must be the biggest resistance force, it is very troublesome, and it must be cleaned up at the opportunity, even if it cannot be completely done, these living forces must be killed to the greatest extent...... And then the most lethal blow ......"
Xin Yuan carefully observed any movement around him, his pupils flashing dangerously in the darkness.
"The opportunity is at the moment when you really start attacking."
"Now, wait."
In a short period of time, Xin Yuan had already made a decision, and at this time, some of the people in the chaos came to their senses, and began to beckon the people around them to calm down and not run around, and some people even took out flashlights, mobile phones, portable computers, and other things that can shine to illuminate, and the people around them immediately began to follow suit.
"Xin Yuan, I don't know where my phone has gone just now, yours is still there, right? Let's turn on the flashlight function. Seeing that someone around him was lit up, Xu Youran whispered.
"Don't do such stupid things." Xin Yuan shook his head indifferently.
"Huh?"
Xu Youran was stunned for a moment, why did the three words not come out, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out from all directions, and the bullets stared at the place where the light came out, and suddenly there were terrible screams everywhere, and the bodyguards with guns couldn't care about anything else, they pulled out their guns and shot back at the place where the guns rang out, and for a while, the fourth floor completely became a chaotic battlefield.
"It's just going to make you a target." At this time, Xin Yuan's explanation was belated.
However, Xu Youran didn't care about blaming Xin Yuan, the bullets flying everywhere, the miserable shouts, pain, screams and wails tortured her eardrums together, if she hadn't firmly remembered Xin Yuan's words just now and covered her mouth to death, maybe she would have become one of them, and she might even be scared away and ended her life by a stray bullet.
Xin Yuan was very calm about this, this kind of environment was too familiar, so familiar that it made him feel a kind of excitement about reuniting after a long absence.
When the frequency of the gunshots became low, Xin Yuan dropped the sentence "stay where you are, don't move" and rushed forward.
Xu Youran reacted and wanted to stop Xin Yuan when it was too late, so he could only watch him climb out of the ground like a big gecko with a peculiar hand and foot and a moving way at once. Fortunately, at this time, her eyes have adapted to the current dim environment, and she can barely see his vague figure, so she can only pray for him in her heart that nothing will happen.
At this time, every second was torment for her, and every gunshot and every scream made her afraid that it would be from Xin Yuan's side. Luckily, she could see him moving, and knew he was okay, otherwise she didn't know if she would have disobeyed his words because she couldn't stand this fearful waiting. At this moment, she has taken Xin Yuan as her only support.
In her prayers, Xin Yuan, who was far away, finally turned around and crawled back, following the same path back to the makeshift shelter.
"Take this well, it might be useful later." As soon as he came back, Xin Yuan stuffed a long black thing into Xu Youran's hand.
Xu Youran took the thing and looked in front of him, and it turned out to be a flashlight. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly recalled that the place where Xin Yuan had just gone seemed to be a security guard using a flashlight to illuminate it before, and then the gunshot rang out, so she didn't care about the situation over there. Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that the security guard died in that round of shooting, and Xin Yuan used to be for this security guard's equipment.
I didn't expect him to be so clear at this moment.
For a while, her mind was complicated and difficult to understand. Thinking back to the words that counted him down at school, and comparing his calm and brave performance in today's attack with his panic, his face couldn't help but heat.
On the other hand, Xin Yuan complained in his heart that the security guards here are poorly equipped - there are no stun guns, spray cans, riot guns and the like, just a rubber roller with a core is still a little powerful, and the walkie-talkie is useless under signal interference, and the security guards of Xishan Primary School are not necessarily worse than the security guards here.
Fortunately, I finally got one and it was kind of useful.
Thinking about it, Xin Yuan pulled Xu Youran into his arms.
This action was so ambiguous that the squad leader Xu Da, who was still looking back on the past, was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously hugged his chest with both hands, which was already a little large, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You...... You...... Want...... Why? β
"Put this on."
Xin Yuan pulled up a black thing from the side and put it on Xu Youran's body, Xu Youran let him do it, his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know how to react. When I looked down when it was completely done, I realized that I had a bulletproof vest on my body.
Could it be that he just risked his life to go there just to get me this?
Suddenly, she felt her heart melt, looked at Xin Yuan's gaze softly like a lake gently rippling under the spring breeze, and said softly: "This...... I don't wear it anymore, you need it more, so you should wear it. β
"If you wear it, you can wear it, don't talk nonsense, I have my own way."
Xin Yuan said in his mouth, but secretly said in his heart: "My height is barely enough to reach one meter five, and I have to go above my knees when I put it on, and I can't hold it up without stuffing things inside. You're close to 1.6 meters tall, and you can barely put it on, so as not to become a burden if you are hit by a stray bullet, and you can also use it as a shield if necessary, which is still a bit useful. β
Hearing Xin Yuan say this, Xu Youran hummed obediently and said no more.
Xin Yuan tried the rubber stick he brought back, but it was still not very smooth, but there was no way, there was no better one nearby, so let's use it for the time being.
"It should be almost."
Listening to the non-stop gunshots below, Xin Yuan relied on his keen intuition to sense that the attacker's offensive rhythm had begun to change. It's like reaching out to hit someone, you have to take your hand back, clench it into a fist, and then strike out, and the attacker's side is already in the stage of clenching his fist.
Xin Yuan observed the form of the fourth floor through the cover formed by the table, and saw that after a period of chaos, at least the bodyguards of those rich gentlemen had returned to normal, relying on solid bunkers such as columns, sculptures, and flower beds, to keep their protection targets airtight. In particular, the number of bodyguards around the last big man was the largest and most professional, and the coordination of defense and mutual counterattack between each other was quite perfect, which had suppressed those attackers who created chaos, completely showing the strength of superiority, and Xin Yuan also saw the traces of the army from their behavior, which was probably from the elite of the army.
It's just that these bodyguards only focus on the safety of the protected object, and turn a blind eye to the injured people around them who are calling for help, and even sometimes innocent people block the shooting route, they also shoot directly, never hesitate, and do not care about accidental injuries at all.
In fact, this is what the most elite bodyguards will do.
The kind of bodyguard who goes to see anything is actually completely unqualified, because the responsibility of the bodyguard is to protect the safety of the employer by any means, and the safety of the employer must be put first, and everything else must make way for the safety of the employer, even with their own lives. If a bodyguard is implicated or even killed because of his heroism, then it is impossible to get involved in this circle in the future.
What should be done to deal with this elite?
Xin Yuan speculated, and then he saw one of the expected scenes.
A few smoking objects were flung over and rolled on the ground a few times.
It turned out to be a grenade!
These assailants were able to bring in all the grenades!
Although the bodyguards' return fire directly hit several of the attackers who showed their figures, they could not stop the grenade that was about to explode from approaching.
Boom Boom!
Several huge explosions in a row, and the bodyguards' originally intact defensive line collapsed instantly.
