Chapter 155: Double Entry
I sat down on the edge of the roof, tightened the rope around my waist, and figured over the loose instrument on it. This is an electronically controlled lifting rope, the effective distance is about 15 meters, and the noose disc on top can be electronically controlled, within 15 meters, I can electronically control it to contract or release the rope. The controller is right around my waist.
"Hey......" I turned on the intercom and debugged into the channel I had agreed with the FBI guys: "Listen, I'm going to get started now, but I need you to do me a favor." ”
After the rustling noise, the voice of Louis Jǐng came out: "Mr. Chen Yang? ”
"Oh, Louis Jǐng officer, I'm so happy to hear your voice." I smiled, "I'm going to do it now." I need you to do me a favor, though. ”
"What?"
"Media control!" I said solemnly, "I'm on the roof of the Torch Building right now, and I'm about to go down from the periphery. But in the Twin Towers across from me, I don't know how many media cameras and cameras are facing us, so I need your help to turn off all the media cameras in the Twin Towers across from me for the time being! I don't want my sneaking footage to be sent to millions of televisions! You know, terrorists are hiding in the city and guarding the TV. ”
"Yes...... Please wait. "Louis Jǐng was quiet for a while, and I saw that all the lights on the Twin Towers opposite suddenly dimmed!
"Okay, I've ordered the Twin Towers to be temporarily turned off, as well as all the networks, they can't shoot and transmit properly. But you have to be quick, you know, in this day and age, anyone with a mobile phone can take a picture and send it out! So you have to hurry, I have already sent a media liaison to contact the media. ”
"Thank you!" I turned off the intercom.
I checked my gear again on the edge of the roof, then rolled over and held the edge of the rooftop with both hands. Then as soon as I let go, I pressed one hand on the controller on my waist, and as the rope slowly lowered, my body slid down......
The strong wind in the air made my body sway, but my hands with suction cups immediately pressed against the glass on the exterior of the building, and soon I sucked into the wall like Spider-Man.
I climbed down little by little. The suction cups of both hands are very firm. It's just that every meter of movement is very laborious, and the canvas bag I strap around my waist is too heavy.
Before I arrived, Hansen told me that the suction cups were a military product and were designed to work at heights, and were enough to support more than 200 kilograms. But if it weren't for a set of ropes tied around the waist. I wouldn't dare to imitate Spider-Man so rashly.
There are goggles to block the eyes. Vision will not be affected by the wind, but the wind whistling in the ears, this strong wind blowing for a long time, will still make people dizzy.
At this moment, according to our agreement, the jǐng side below began to build momentum on both sides of the building. As a cover.
The searchlights were concentrated on the sides of the building, and the front was darkened, and then I heard below. Several large loudspeakers were turned up to the maximum volume, and then a special person from the jǐng side began to shout. It is nothing more than some jǐng to tell and persuade the other side to surrender.
However, fortunately, the American jǐng cha is still more creative, and does not always use the old-fashioned line "you have been surrounded" like those jǐng cha in Hong Kong movies.
Under the strong wind, after all, I have no experience in working at height, the speed of action is not fast, it took five minutes, I only went down less than two meters, and at this time, I took a little breath, and then sucked the suction cup on the wall with one hand, and looked at the time with the other hand, turned on the windproof walkie-talkie attached to my ear, and adjusted the dialogue channel......
After a rustling sound, Hansen's voice came from inside: "Confirm identity, confirm identity......"
"Alright, Hansen." I gasped, and above me, I was poured a breath of wind from my mouth, and I spoke with great difficulty: "Who else but me...... I'm in place now, can you see me there? ”
"I can see it." Hansen's voice came very clearly from the walkie-talkie: "But I have to say, the way you stick to the wall and pout your ass is really much uglier than Spider-Man." ”
I was depressed for a moment, I didn't expect this big black man with a wooden gon to be sarcastic. But I knew he was looking at me with a telescope from the Twin Towers across the street, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, I need your help now, you have to confirm my location with the telescope first, and then tell me where to 'enter' safely." ”
This is something we agreed on in advance. Khan Sen was on the opposite side of the Torch Building, looking at the building with a military telescope with thermal devices, and I would enter on the sixty-second floor of the building, the top floor full of hostages and terrorists!
It's a bold plan, but it's actually quite safe. Because the sixty-second floor of the building is a "hui" shaped layout, there is a hall in the middle, and a circle of different rooms on the periphery. Almost all of the hostages were concentrated in the middle hall, so most of the terrorists should have been concentrated in the middle hall as well. The surrounding circle of rooms, including the lounges, dining rooms, restrooms, and makeshift kitchens, there are twenty-seven rooms in the periphery—all of which were obtained from the final architectural drawings of the building that Louis Jǐng gave me.
The terrorists were on the sixty-second floor, and there were only eleven of them, including their leader, Ramucci. Well, even if they send people around the perimeter, there are definitely a lot of empty rooms! Hansen's task was to use the heat sensor to determine which rooms were empty, and then I could "enter" the building in the empty rooms!
"On your left, you go down, and then move sideways about seven meters, there's a seat belt, and there's a row of rooms there that are all empty, and you can choose to enter there." Hansen's voice was steady: "But you've only got five minutes at most, so, my Spider-Man." You'd better speed it up! ”
I cursed, and against the strong wind, I began to move little by little to the position he had said.
The feeling was heart-pounding, with the abyss beneath me, the wind all around, and I was lying on top of a moving skyscraper, and the only protective device on my body was a rope. This feeling of body suspension is really uncomfortable.
It took me five minutes to get to the spot Hansen had mentioned, and I was relieved to check with him, and Hansen made sure that there was no one there.
I took a suction cup from my bosom and sucked it on the outer wall of the building, and then pulled a rope from the suction cup, and the metal hook on it was framed on the rope around my waist, so that I could barely hold my body in place, and I could free up my hands.
From the huge canvas bag around my waist, I took out a folded metal hook, like a huge compass, and pressed one end lightly against the window glass in front of me, and the other end was opened, and one end was the center of the circle, and the circle was drawn......
There was no sound, not even the sound of cutting, not even the sound of glass breaking. It was very quiet, a circular crack appeared in the glass, I pulled out the suction cup in the center of the circle, and then easily pulled out a piece of round glass that had been cut, and a huge circular hole appeared in the window, and then I leaned in and climbed in gently......
After landing, I didn't take off the rope on my body in a hurry, but immediately pulled out a gun, squatted on the ground and carefully jǐng ring!
Luckily, the place I entered was actually a toilet! And...... From the facilities in the toilets, it seems that there are no men's urinals...... Well, it looks like it's a women's bathroom.
The room was dark, no lights on, quiet, and no sound. I crouched on the ground and waited for ten seconds before I was relieved to stand up. Untied the rope from his body, and then put the round cut glass back in.
"Hansen, I'm in place. The location is on the 62nd floor, in the restroom on the side...... Well, the women's restroom. I said the last word in a depressed voice.
Hansen didn't say much on the other end of the intercom: "Okay, I'll make sure you are in the last place, and now it's safe for about ten meters around you." The guy closest to you, on patrol, will pass by your door in a clockwise direction, about a minute later. Nothing else. This is the last position determined. You're ready to get moving. I'll get in right away, and we'll have the next call when I'm in place. ”
With that, the walkie-talkie turned off.
I quickly switched the channel to Louis Jǐng: "I need your help. ”
Louis Jǐng's voice was solemn: "What? ”
"Listen, get your plane to pretend to be near the back of the building! Attention, I'm talking about the back! At the same time, let the people below shout more movement! Because I'm going to do something on the front. ”
Soon, I heard the sound of propellers in the distance and began to get closer, and sure enough, the jǐng side was still very cooperative, the two helicopters pretended to try to get closer from the back of the building, and I listened carefully against the toilet door, and vaguely heard footsteps outside...... But it went in the opposite direction from me, and I must have been attracted by the proximity of the helicopter.
And just as these covers are smooth, Hansen is on the move!!
I went back to the window and quietly looked at the Twin Towers across the street. I saw the opposite upstairs, and suddenly in a place, a black line visible to the naked eye came directly towards the Torch Building!
It was a rope with a hook that penetrated metal! Plunged straight into the 60th floor of the building!! Immediately, between the two buildings, there was a black sè cable connected!
From the Twin Towers, a metal handrail was embedded in the cable, and then I saw a person, Hansen, holding the handrail with both hands, and then leaned out of the opposite building, using the power of the height difference, all the way straight through the air!!
The whole process takes less than a minute! I'm sure a lot of the media in the Twin Towers must have seen it! Moreover, the following jǐng party must have also discovered it...... As for whether the terrorists found out or not, I don't know. After all, there are only eleven or twelve terrorists. And on the back of the building, I made the jǐng side make a move that attracted a lot of attention, that is, to cover Hansen's actions.
This is a gamble!
Almost using a trapeze method, Hansen slid directly through the air, and then smoothly entered the sixtieth floor of the Torch Building!!
And now the distribution is very clear!
The fifty-ninth floor is the place where Jǐngcha's frontal attackers are on standby.
The sixtieth floor was originally a buffer zone between the vacant and the terrorists, and it was this layer that Hansen was now entering!
The sixty-first floor was originally occupied by terrorists, but the first time I escaped, I almost killed all the terrorists on that floor. Therefore, when Lamouchi is short of manpower, shrinking the defense, the sixty-first floor is actually empty.
On the sixty-second floor, all the terrorists are here. The hostages are also here...... And me. Now it's here too!
Rooftop...... It's Jack's gang who have turned against me.
That's probably the whole situation.
Now is the most nervous time, I was patiently waiting for the news that Hansen was in place, but my walkie-talkie kept flashing, and when I turned it on, I immediately heard the roar of the head of the FBI in the headset!
"Mr. Chen, you're messing around again! You're just going too far! I swear I'll arrest you!" You will be punished severely!! The head of the FBI was furious: "Your personal nonsense, we are already putting up with it!" But you still have accomplices. Now I have entered the danger zone in such a dangerous way...... You ......"
I had expected it a long time ago. Hansen's actions would certainly have been seen by them, and they would certainly have been furious. Without waiting for him to finish, I lowered my voice and said, "Now my people are in place. Listen, I don't care how much responsibility you can have. Now that our locals have come in, you shouted too fiercely, and he won't go out. And this assistant of mine is a person with strict military training. You're angry with me. Let's think about how we can work together to do something meaningful. ”
There was silence on the other end of the intercom for a moment. There was only a heavy wheezing sound, and then, the voice of Louis Jǐng came out: "Mr. Chen Yang, you have gone too far this time. Your actions are too risky...... I mean, you should have told us beforehand. In this way, we can cooperate with ...... as much as possible."
I laughed inwardly that this Louis was deliberately speaking softly, and I immediately said, "Okay." Now is not the time to chat, I need you to be able to talk to Lamouche. Then try to get into trouble with him as much as possible. I'm good at acting. Now my men will find a way up from the sixtieth floor to the sixty-first floor. Because the sixty-first floor is already empty. But you'd better not act on a large scale, and the helicopters sent should be withdrawn immediately, I'm afraid that the terrorists will not be able to resist it. ”
Then I turned off the intercom.
Finally, Hansen contacted me and he told me that he was in place. Then, according to the plan, he would open the passage on the ceiling on the sixtieth floor and enter the sixty-first floor.
"Next, it's up to you." Hansen's voice was serious.
I sighed, straightened my gear, and went straight into the ventilation duct from the women's restroom. This time I crawled in the ventilation ducts, and I didn't feel the same direction as last time. The entire layout drawings of the sixty-second floor were all in my head, and all the rooms, the distribution, were all memorized by me.
From the moment I entered the women's restroom in the ventilation duct, I crawled in a clockwise direction, and in the canvas bag I carried with me, I had a lot of small blasting equipment at regular intervals. I crawled cautiously, and then at the exit of each ventilation duct I passed, I gently attached a small remote-controlled blasting device to the net cover of the outlet of the ventilation duct.
By the time I've set up a full nine blasting devices, that means I've crawled through nine rooms.
Suddenly, I heard a cry of status coming from the exit of one of the ventilation pipes in front of me, as if it were a woman's voice, and my heart moved!
Immediately, I cautiously climbed over, and the more I climbed, the more familiar the place became...... Because a section of the front ventilation duct has been blown up!
I see, below where I am now, is the same security lounge where the group of us were hiding before! And further on, there's the makeshift kitchen! The ventilation duct in the back has been blown up.
I leaned on the ventilation duct in the security lounge, leaning as close as I could, listening carefully.
The weeping woman's voice seemed familiar. After listening to it for a few seconds, I finally confirmed it! That's Jessica's voice!
The mesh cover of the ventilation duct in this room has long since been removed by us. So I could only cautiously shrink on it, and then quietly poked my eyes out and looked down.
The room was still the same room, but I saw that there were a dozen hostages in this room! Not only Jessica, but also Bruce Sr. and his female companion, as well as many other hostages...... But there is no Yang Wei!
In addition, there were two terrorists, one standing guard by the window, and the other sitting at a table, holding a cloth and carefully wiping a dagger.
I immediately had a bad feeling in my heart......
Don't...... Lamouche changed his tactics and began to disperse the hostages?
This practice, though, would have spread out his own manpower. But it will also bring great difficulties to the rescue operation of the jǐng side! Because if he scattered more than 200 hostages to take care of them, then I'm afraid that the Jǐng side would not be able to break through in multiple places at the same time and successfully rescue all the hostages at the same time!! In this way, the risk of rescue is greatly increased!
I was lying on the ceiling, and the exit of the ventilation duct under my eyes was none other than Jessica! She was sitting on the floor, and there were quite a few people around her, Jessica was crying quietly, and next to her was old Bruce's female companion, who was whispering comfort to her. And the others, most of them are all concerned, but no one dares to speak.
The terrorist standing by the window was smoking, looking at him with a cold expression.
And the other terrorist sitting at the table was at least seven or eight meters away from him...... This caused problems for my operations, and it was difficult for me to take out both of them at the same time. Because if I make a little bit of noise...... You must know that these terrorists have communication devices with them, and the slightest movement will attract the attention of other terrorists! If you let Lamouche know that someone is lurking...... My plan is difficult!
I carefully dragged my rucksack through and searched inside...... Figured out one of the weapons I picked earlier.
It's a small tube, a dark metal tube that can hold a steel needle the length of a cigarette! One end of the needle was hollowed out, and a small amount of super-powerful anesthetic was stored inside! The steel needle shè into the human body, and the anesthetic can quickly make people fall into a coma in just three seconds!
But that's not enough for me to take out two people at the same time!
In desperation, I took a risk. I gently pinched a small pinch of dust from around me, mixed with a little foam of my own, pinched a small lump of mud the size of a grain of rice, and threw it at Old Bruce below.
One time...... Two clicks.
It wasn't until I threw it a third time that Bruce Sr. noticed.
He couldn't help but subconsciously raise his head, but suddenly saw my eyes poking out of the ventilation duct on the ceiling, and then I quickly made a bow gesture to him!!
Old Bruce was still a machine, and he immediately lowered his head, but I could already see some surprise on his face.
Fortunately, the two terrorists in the room did not notice, and the one who wiped the dagger was still concentrating on wiping his dagger. And the person who stood by the window and smoked looked out of the window with a solemn face......
After waiting for a while, to make sure that no one else was aware, old Bruce quietly raised his eyelids, and he deliberately hid behind the female companion of the word, and raised his eyelids to look at me.
I made a finger at him, pointed at the guy who was smoking, and then I pointed at him. My meaning was clear: ask him to do it for a moment and help entangle the guy who smoked.
And the one who wipes the dagger, I'll solve it!
Bruce nodded, and then I took out the blowpipe in my hand and aimed it at the guy sitting at the table, holding it in my mouth...... Blow hard!
Silent! A steel needle shuffled out and pierced directly into the bare spot on the back of his neck......
