Chapter XVI: Hostage-taking
Li Xiaoning had a gun on him, but this gun couldn't put him at ease. Shooting, or, even just taking the gun out, will attract someone's attention. He began to retreat to the center of the hall, and then slowly walked to the crowded area on the right.
Li Xiaoning turned his head to look behind, the two killers were skillfully using the crowd as a cover, gradually approaching him. They politely said sorry and asked others to give way, but they did not hesitate, one from the left and the other from the right, gradually clamping him like pincers. As long as they stare at him and don't let him out of sight, he will be forced to run blindly and lose his direction, so that if he is not careful, he may get into a blind corner and never escape again. Then, the pistol with the silencer will make a muffled sound, and the gun will be hidden in the pocket, and no one will see the fire from the muzzle......
At this moment, a blonde girl suddenly blocked Li Xiaoning's way, and asked Li Xiaoning, "Sir, how to get to the academic lecture hall?" β
Li Xiaoning just wanted to say that he didn't know, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind and he changed his mind. He grabbed the blonde by the arm.
The blonde was shocked, and she glared at him with those big eyes and said, "Sir! Please, let go of your hands. β
"I'm sorry. I don't want to scare you, but I have no choice! Li Xiaoning whispered a few words and looked back at the back. The two killers began to slow down, apparently already locked on their targets and ready to close the net, "You'll have to walk with me for a while." β
"I'm going to call it indecent assault!" The blonde said anxiously.
Li Xiaoning pulled the blonde in front of him with a force on his arm, and then, he took out the pistol from his pocket and hid it behind her body to avoid being seen by the two killers. They had already approached a distance of about ten meters.
"I didn't want to use it, and I didn't want to hurt you, but I had to do it as a last resort." Li Xiaoning whispered in the blonde's ear.
"Oh, God......" The blonde was visibly frightened.
"Don't speak." Li Xiaoning shouted in a low voice, "As long as you listen to me obediently, I guarantee that you are fine." I'm going to have to find a way out of this hotel, and I need your help. As long as I get out, I'll let you go. But now you'll have to follow me first. Come on, let's go in. β
"You can't ...... like that," begged the blonde.
"I'm sorry. I've done that. Li Xiaoning held the gun to the blonde's stomach, and the muzzle of the gun pressed tightly against her dark red silk blouse. She was too frightened to say anything, and obediently left him at his mercy.
"Let's go." Li Xiaoning stepped to the right of the blonde, still holding her arm, holding a pistol against her waist in her right hand.
The blonde stared at the gun, her mouth open, panting quickly and slowly, "I'm going to scream!" β
"If you dare to scream, I'll shoot!" Li Xiaoning said in a low voice. He glanced back at the crowd behind him, and the two killers were also mixed in.
"I'm sure you will!" The blonde was terrified and muttered, "You're a madman." β
"Let's go!" Li Xiaoning pushed her forward.
Li Xiaoning walked all the way, looking for the exit of the hotel all the way. It was then that he heard a voice, three to be exact, a sudden, high-pitched, deadly sound, a muffled sound, the sound of a silenced pistol firingβa weapon!
The pillars around him were hit by bullets, and shards of concrete were scattered in all directions. Li Xiaoning immediately pressed the blonde's body down, and then dragged her into the shadows of the pillar.
The shooting sparked chaos. Li Xiaoning took the opportunity to grab the blonde's blouse, dragged her up from the ground, and dragged her towards the door.
At this moment, the blonde suddenly began to resist. Li Xiaoning was in a hurry, so she had to slap her and drag her to her side.
At this time, several more bullets struck, and the bullets hit the wall to their right. The killer was rushing down the aisle, trying to see where they were. In a few seconds, they will catch up, and in a few seconds, a large number of bullets will hit the target. Even if only one hits, it's over in one qiΔ.
Two meters ahead, there is a door. Li Xiaoning didn't know where this door led, but now he had no choice. Taking advantage of the gap between the other party's ceasefire, Li Xiaoning suddenly flashed, raised his foot and kicked the door open, and immediately rushed out with an arrow step, dragging the desperately struggling blonde behind him.
"Don't pull me!" The blonde screamed, "I won't go with you again!" You neurotic! They're shooting! β
Li Xiaoning kicked the door again, and the door slammed shut. Then he shouted, "Stand up! β
"No!" The blonde shouted hysterically.
Li Xiaoning slapped her with the back of his hand again and said, "I don't want to hit a woman." But I'm sorry, but you still have to come with me. Stand up! As soon as we get outside, I promise you'll let you go. β
Li Xiaoning said so, but where are you going to flee now? At the moment, they were in a passageway, with no carpet on the floor and no shiny doors on the walls. Here it is...... It looked like an abandoned cargo area, with a concrete floor, and two tubular frame freight trucks leaning against the wall next to it.
Li Xiaoning didn't have time to speculate about where this passage leads. He had to find a way to block that door first! The blonde had already stood up, Li Xiaoning grabbed her with one hand, grabbed the first trolley with the other, dragged the trolley to the door, pressed against the door, and then hit it hard with her shoulders and knees, until the tube of the trolley was embedded in the metal door panel. He looked down and saw that under the wooden base of the trolley, the wheels were locked with foot controls. He stepped down on his heels, locked the link on the front wheel, and then switched to the rear wheel.
Just as Li Xiaoning put her foot under the trolley, the blonde suddenly turned around and wanted to shake off his hand. Li Xiaoning's hand slid down her arm, grabbed her wrist and twisted it inward, this is a small grappling technique.
The blonde immediately screamed in pain, tears welling up in her eyes, and her lips trembled.
Li Xiaoning grabbed her tightly by his side, carried her to the left, and then walked faster and faster, and finally ran up. He guessed that they were now in the passage leading to the back of the hotel, and that they should be able to find the exit. At the exit, this woman can come in handy. In fact, it was only at the door that he needed to use this woman as a cover.
At this time, Li Xiaoning heard several loud crashing sounds, obviously the two killers wanted to knock the iron door behind him open. It's just that the two wheels were too heavy to crash along.
