"According to the information I have read, in general, the more hostages the bandits take, the longer the confrontation will be...... So, I hope you don't expect someone to rescue us after we're here for two or three hours! Or maybe you can hope that in two or three hours, the hijacking outside will be over...... According to my guess, I'm afraid that even if the impasse outside lasts for two days, it will not be unexpected! Moreover, those hostages...... Alas, their identities are all too sensitive! It can be said that those people outside, every move of any one of them, is followed by the media all over the world, so it is unlikely that the jǐng side will not dare to take tough measures, so the situation will be stalemate for a long time...... We ......" he looked at us and whispered, "Now we have a dozen people here, and some of them are injured, and here we are, no medicine, no food...... The scariest thing is that there is no water! If we don't have food, we can still persevere, but if we don't have water, I'm afraid that at the end of the day, all of us will lose our strength due to dehydration! And when we don't have the strength, will the bandits outside attack us? No one knows for sure. And this wounded man, he is still bleeding and needs treatment...... I don't know if he can last another day, but the situation outside is a stalemate...... Even longer, it's quite possible! ”

"So, do you have any great ideas?" I looked at old Bruce.

Although he is just an actor, he is not the invincible hero in the movie. But in this case. His composure and standing up still gave everyone a lot of psychological support...... The image of a heroic and wise hero that he created that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people has given everyone a lot of psychological comfort at this moment.

"We're going to gather some food." Old Bruce looked at me, then said slowly, "Okay. So I'll start assigning tasks now, if you don't have an opinion. ”

Seeing that no one was talking, he nodded and looked at me: "Young man......"

"My name is Chen Yang." I smiled.

"Alright, Chen!" Old Bruce called me Chen as my first name, according to the Western custom (first name before last name, last name and last name): "Chen, this security lounge, except for the room we have now, do you see the door inside?" There's also a room in there, which is the locker room. It's probably where the security guards change their uniforms every day when they go to work. I need you and this young lady and a few other ladies to go into that room now. I don't care what you do. Find a way to open all the cabinets! It doesn't matter if you pry it open, or you can smash it open. I always want you to search every cabinet carefully! Those are the lockers of the security guards here, and there may be some personal belongings in them, trying to find what we need...... Food, water. Drugs...... Anything will do! Even if it's just a slice of bread, even if it's just a band-aid! ”

“ok。” I nodded and accepted his request.

"Alright. Other men, let's set it up here a little more, you see, there are two cabinets next to it, and I need two people to come with me, move those two cabinets and block them in front of the door! Guys, this is the door for our lives! So we're going to harden it and reinforce it! With a shout from Old Bruce, the other two men also reluctantly stood up and cheered.

I gave Lei Xiaohu a look. Let him guard outside, and I, Yang Wei, and Jessica, plus the female companion of Old Bruce, walked to the dressing room room inside. There was another lady who was looking after the injured waiter. Although this lady is richly dressed, in this case, everyone has basically thrown away the hierarchy of status, and it seems that she is still very humanitarian.

The locker room door was locked, and I pushed it twice hard to keep it open, so I took a few steps back and then flew up and kicked the door open. Luckily, it's a simple lock.

The dressing room inside is not large, only about twenty green squares, and the floor is a little wet. There are no windows in this room, and there are four rows of metal lockers inside.

The room is not big, you can see the end at a glance, and there is really nothing to search for other than these cabinets. The only hope is to open these cabinets and see what they find.

I casually twisted the handle of the cabinet in front of me a few times, and sure enough, as expected, all the cabinets were locked. I sighed and was about to find a tool to smash ...... Well, Lei Xiaohu still has a fire axe in his hand.

"No need." Yang Wei stopped me, and then she untied a brooch from the chest of her evening dress, pinned the tip of the needle inside and handed it to me: "Can you pick the lock?" ”

I shook my head, I hadn't done it before.

At this time, after not speaking, the female companion of old Bruce suddenly said, "I can try." ”

We all looked at her, and the girl shrugged her shoulders: "Oh, when I was at home, I used to secretly open my father's wine cabinet and steal his drink. What's wrong? Don't look at me like that, I'm twenty-two years old, and I'm old enough to drink. ”

I laughed a little and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's up to you, miss." ”

Yang Wei immediately handed her the brooch.

"Don't call me Miss, please call me Monica." She looks very sweet when she laughs, and she has brown hair and a good figure, a very amorous beauty, no wonder old Bruce likes her so much.

Sure enough, this chick named Monica was very skillful, she quickly opened the three cabinets, and then Yang Wei and I immediately began to rummage through the contents of the cabinets.

Jessica has been a little distracted since the accident tonight, and she has escaped from the chaos just now, and she seems to be very scared until now, and she hasn't said a word. When Yang Wei and I had already started to rummage through the cabinets, Jessica was still standing aside in a daze.

Seeing that she didn't move, Yang Wei walked over and patted her gently. She seemed to react, glanced at Yang Wei, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Let's check it out! There are a lot of cabinets here, and we're going to try to find out what we need...... I know you're scared right now?? Everyone was scared, including me! But we must overcome our fears! At least we're safe now, much luckier than the people in the hall! So, please don't be in a daze, concentrate jīng god and work hard! If you want to live, it's best to put your fears away for a while. ”

Yang Wei's tone was very resolute. The blankness in Jessica's eyes disappeared slightly, and she looked at Yang Wei for a while, and said in a low voice, "I know." Then she walked quickly past Yang Wei's side. Proceed to inspect the third cabinet.

There were a total of 12 lockers in the entire locker room, and it took us more than half an hour to check them one by one.

There were a lot of things in these cabinets: clothes left behind by the security guards, personal belongings. There are also some private photos on the mirror in the cabinet, and there are men's perfumes and razors in them. There are leather shoes...... But there were no weapons.

I sighed, knowing that it was impossible to find weapons from these private lockers.

Luckily, we found other places to find and we found a small amount of food......

In locker two, we found a small bag of biscuits and half of a sandwich that had obviously been bitten down on, but was later wrapped in plastic wrapper. In addition, a bottle of about six hundred milliliters of diniu nǎi was found in locker number six.

Finally, a makeshift first aid kit was found in locker nine. Inside was a bottle of wine jīng noodle balls and a pack of bandages.

It was Yang Wei who found this first aid kit, and she immediately handed over the things to Monica and asked her to go out and give the things to Old Bruce to save the wounded.

"Six hundred milliliters of beef nǎi, and a small bag of biscuits, plus half a sandwich...... That's not enough for twelve people. I sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the food doesn't matter, even if ordinary people are hungry for two days, it doesn't matter much." But water doesn't work...... If people don't drink water for a day, I'm afraid they won't be able to support it. ”

Yang Wei suddenly smiled, she glanced at me, and said, "Well, if it's just water, I have a way." ”

She raised her hand and pointed to the ceiling......

My eyes lit up immediately!

It was a ceiling-mounted ground fire sprinkler!!

"I saw it from the outside, and there are these sprinklers in both rooms here...... In fact, every room has it! We seemed to have more than enough water, so there was no need to worry about it at all. Yang smiled: "It's just a matter of trying to get some containers to hold water." We can now turn off the sprinklers in one room and leave one room for later use. ”

We immediately went out and discussed with Old Bruce, who looked at Yang Wei with a little admiration: "Miss, your idea is great, let's use a sprinkler now!" The wounds of the wounded need to be cleaned, and we ...... Everyone was also very tired and thirsty. Now it's time to take a break and rehydrate, leaving a nozzle for when you need it. "We discussed it and decided to use the showers in the locker room...... Because once the sprinkler head is turned on, it cannot be turned off (unless the water in the pipe runs out), and after being sprayed, the room cannot be occupied.

We gathered all the things we could find, and even turned the glass shade of the floor lamp out, which could be used as a container for storing water.

The ladies stayed outside, and I walked with Bruce Sr. and Lei Xiaohu to the dressing room inside, and I climbed onto a cabinet and pulled out a lighter that I had just asked for from another man. I sparked the fire and grilled it under the sprinkler for a few seconds...... Immediately, after sensing the heat, there was a bang on the sprinkler head, and water splashed on the head......

I turned out the glass lampshade in old Bruce's hand, first rinsed it under water, then filled it with water and handed it to him, and then suddenly remembered something, took out a box of cigarettes from the pocket of his coat and threw it out of the room, sighing, "Damn! Luckily, if you get soaked, you can't smoke it. ”

Then I called Lei Xiaohu, and the two of us rinsed our bodies wantonly under the sprinkler head on the ceiling...... We've just drilled through the ventilation ducts. There was also an explosion that covered his body in black ash.

Lei Xiaohu simply took off his coat like me. We drenched in water for a while before we rinsed ourselves off. Lei Xiaohu even poured water into his nose and mouth with both hands, and then sneezed violently, washing away the ash in his mouth.

In the end, we took turns to open our mouths under the sprinkler head to catch the water and drink for a while...... After a full ten minutes, the water in the sprinkler gradually dried up.

When we walked out of the room, both of us were soaking wet, but it was still much better than the black charcoal appearance just now.

Old Bruce stood at the window, he opened the curtains and looked down......

"Did you hear that?" He smiled wryly.

Everyone kept their mouths shut and listened carefully......

Faintly. It was as if I could hear the faint sound of a jǐng car chirping outside......

Everyone came to the window, looked down, and saw that there were many jǐng cars parked below. Anyway, the entire street in the neighborhood was blocked by jǐngcha...... I don't know how many jǐng cha came.

"It seems that the bandits inside have already started negotiations with the jǐng side." Yang Wei said slowly.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and old Bruce sighed: "I hope this matter ends soon." ”

Ten minutes passed, and during that time, there was a thumping of the door outside. Although it only rang for about half a minute and then there was no movement, but the people inside were still scared enough.

Everyone understood that the people inside had no weapons in their hands. If the gun-wielding bandits from outside break in, then everyone will have to take the land with their hands tied.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. We simply divided the food first.

Yang Wei, Jessica, Monica, and another lady who escaped, the four of them shared the pack of cookies together.

The other seven of us shared the bitten sandwich...... Hell, I'm afraid I got less than half an ounce.

And the wounded waiter enjoyed the treatment of the wounded. He drank a small half-bottle of cow nǎi.

After a while, we noticed that helicopters outside had begun to circle back and forth around the building...... There are also two helicopters, hovering in the distance, probably some kind of media or TV station shooting news location.

Suddenly, someone remembered that we took out an A4 piece of paper from a table in the room, and then wrote the three big letters "SOS" on it with a pen, and pasted this paper on the window glass.

This move immediately gave everyone a lot of hope, including Old Bruce, everyone seemed to be very excited, but Yang Wei was silent, and seemed to have no reaction.

She sighed, then smiled wryly at me with a Chinese: "The glass of this kind of building is reflective, and it is also a tea glass with sunscreen, and when you look at it from the outside, the eyes of the glass are deep...... And it's still night, and a small piece of A4 paper, hundreds of meters away, is impossible to see on a helicopter hundreds of meters away. So it's just one more comfort in everyone's hearts, I'm afraid it won't have any effect. ”

She spoke to me in Chinese, obviously not wanting to demoralize everyone. And here, only me, Yang Wei, and Lei Xiaohu can understand Chinese.

Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and he didn't look discouraged.

I found that Yang Wei's face was a little not good-looking, her face was a little faintly cháo red, and her qi was not very good. I couldn't help but sit down next to her and said softly, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable? Did you just get hurt? ”

After speaking, I hurriedly looked her up and down, and saw her toes all the way from her head, and I didn't find any injuries on her body, so I breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to touch her forehead, and found that her body temperature was also normal.

Yang Wei was slightly embarrassed by me, but then she shook her head and dodged my hand: "I'm not hurt, you don't have to worry." ”

However, I clearly felt that when she spoke, her breath was a little peaceful.

"You...... You're really okay, aren't you? "I'm still a little skeptical.

Yang Wei's face suddenly turned red, and he said in a low voice: "You...... Don't get so close to me......" The breath was even more rapid.

That's when I suddenly ...... Well, is it because she's shy?

As everyone was about to rest, I suddenly heard a person crying out in great excitement: "Hey!! Look what I found!! ”

This is the lady whose name I don't know. She was the one who proposed to write the word SOS on A4 paper and stick it on the window. After that, she was a little bored flipping through the table.

With her shout, everyone looked at her, only to see that she had actually pulled out a small laptop from the drawer!!

I was stunned, immediately. Everyone reacted! Yang Wei's eyes also lit up!!

"Why didn't you find this just now!" I blurted out, "Didn't you all search the table when you came to this room first?" ”

Old Bruce blushed slightly, and he explained, "We searched just now, but we didn't find anything. ”

The lady laughed and said, "Look, it's no wonder we didn't find out...... There are two tiers to this draw! There is a push-pull mezzanine inside...... This kind of design is actually very common, but you didn't notice it in a hurry just now. Oh, and you see, there's a wireless card here!! This computer can be logged into the Internet! ”

When the laptop was turned on, everyone cheered.

After all, it was still Yang Wei's concern, and she opened her mouth to remind: "Pay attention to the power...... Have you found the charger? Seems like there's only one computer, right? ”

Truly. The lady searched for a while, and looked up helplessly: "There is no charger...... Well, maybe the staff here forgot about it when they got off work. But. Well, the battery level above shows that there are still fifty minutes left! It should be enough for us to get in touch with the jǐng party! ”

Everyone seemed to see hope at once! Suddenly, everyone's faces were excited! And Monica and Jessica cried with joy!

The lady who controlled the computer immediately logged on to the network and reported jǐng, and she cāo made a moment and said, "Okay! Not only did I log in to the Jǐng system of the Luoshanji Inspection Bureau. I also spoke to an online friend in my place, told her about our situation, and asked her to call the jǐng inspection bureau immediately! ”

"Did you tell them where our room was?" Old Bruce's eyes flashed.

"Got it!" This lady was excited!

A few minutes later. Suddenly, when we were still huddled in front of the computer desk, we immediately felt a bright light outside the window! Immediately we heard the roar of the propeller, and a helicopter approached the building, and the bright light was hitting our windows!

Immediately, everyone began to scream, then threw themselves on the edge of the window, waving desperately and shouting outside. That helicopter has the jǐng fang mark on it. After determining our position from a distance, the plane circled for a moment. Flew away.

Everyone was excited, and some people shouted, "Okay! jǐng Fang will definitely come to save us first!! ”

Even my face was a little lighter, but when I looked back at Yang Wei, she was still sitting there and didn't move, and there was no joy on her face, but she was still very serious.

"What's wrong with you?" I walked over and looked at Yang Wei.

"I'm afraid...... It's hard. Yang Wei smiled bitterly: "Even if Jǐng Fang knows that we are here, how can they save us?" ”

…… Uh-uh...... "I'm speechless."

Yang lowered his voice slightly, and said something to me in Chinese:

"As I said before, we are hiding here, although we are safe for the time being, it is equivalent to tying ourselves to death! Even if the jǐng party knew we were here, and hadn't been caught by the bandits, what could they do? Now the bandits have sealed the sixty-first to sixty-second floors, all the elevators, all the exits! The jǐng side couldn't break through at all...... If Jǐng can break through and save us, unless they finish off all the bandits...... Does that make sense to us? With so many hostages in the hands of the bandits, is it possible for the jǐng side to break through? You see...... It's a dead knot! ”

I nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe...... There is still a way...... Don't forget, this is the top floor, and the jǐng party may be able to descend to the top floor roof first, and then send the jǐng personnel to hang the steel cable down from the outside of the upstairs building, and then break the tempered glass window in our room and hang us out of here! ”

Yang Wei rubbed his temples helplessly, shook his head, and very resolutely denied my idea: "This is simply impossible!" ”

She glanced at the excited people, and her voice was even lowered: "Chen Yang, you know that we are on the top floor, don't the bandits know?" Theoretically, if the jǐng party could land from the rooftop of the roof, it would not only break the glass of our room but save us...... Theoretically, they could attack any room on this floor from the rooftop?? Including the hall where the bandits were!! Do you think the bandits could have allowed the jǐng party to land on the roof of the building? Don't forget, before we ran out just now, the three white bandits, one of whom was named Jack, were ordered to guard the rooftop!! The bandits have hostages in their hands, so they can make the jǐng side dare not act rashly! It's very simple...... Even the most idiotic bandit will ask the jǐng party to back off and vacate a separation zone! At the same time, he threatened the Jǐng side not to allow the jǐng side's helicopter and any jǐng party personnel to land on the rooftop...... Otherwise, if Jǐng Fang dares to land on the rooftop, I will immediately start killing hostages!! Yang Wei glanced at me: "If that's the case...... Is it possible for the jǐng side to fall from the sky? Those hostages are no ordinary citizens! Among these people, any one of them is the darling of the mass media! ”
