Chapter 15: The Blooming Blood Rose

This is also the effect that Zhang Cheng needs, if someone dares to touch this vine, it will entangle people and slowly strangle them little by little.

Waiting for the bandits below to continue to use the elevator to prepare to go upstairs, the elevator began to descend again, Zhang Cheng looked at the little vines at the elevator door again, and the four entangled bandits had been pulled in.

At the beginning, those vines were able to grow wildly in a short period of time by relying on the vitality of all things that Zhang Cheng infusion, but this growth is not unlimited, as a plant, it grows in order to survive and reproduce, it needs to find a suitable hotbed that can provide a lot of nutrients to absorb nutrients, flower, bear fruit and reproduce, without nutrients, soil and water, obviously the animal's body is also a good choice.

These vines are a kind of mutant roses that Zhang Cheng cultivated in his previous life for decades, and they are called murder vines by some people who have died of mutant roses without knowing it.

Only Zhang Cheng knew that Lu Dao was actually not so terrifying, and it was true that he could kill people, but it was either some stupid thieves or some stupid enemies who were killed.

The spikes of this killer vine do have a faint toxicity, but as a plant, its characteristics of being easily killed by heat or freezing cannot be changed. So in the eyes of Zhang Cheng in his previous life, those who died on this were stupid, even if they were entangled in vines, as long as they broke their wrists as soon as possible, they would not die - of course, Zhang Cheng had never seen many such ruthless people in his previous life, and most of the people who were recruited would be stupid who would trap themselves because of one hand, one foot or even a partner.

The four bandits in the elevator during the descent had already finished their struggle, and although they had not died, they had also lost the ability to speak and act, because the struggle just now brought no less pain than Ling Chi, and the four bandits were already unconscious.

During the coma of the four bandits, Mutant Rose used the holes on each spike to absorb the blood of the four bandits to replenish their own nutrition, and the massive blood loss deepened the coma of the four bandits.

When the bandits on the first floor opened the elevator door and prepared to go up to the higher floor to search for hostages, the four bandits in front of the elevator door were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The four bandits who went to the fourth floor just now were covered with dark green vines, and the four people were lying motionless on the ground in various strange postures, and their weapons were also entangled with the rose vines, and the vines on the four people were all connected, but the vines directly above each person's body were blooming with a blood-red rose flower.

In this situation, this blooming red rose flower looks extremely weird.

One of the robbers couldn't help but scold: "Fake, what is this? Murder vine? ”

"Who knows, are they dead?"

Seeing the four people stunned at the elevator entrance, someone shouted: "What are you four grinding, don't go upstairs to work." ”

"Head, come and see."

A temporary squad leader of one of the robbers walked over, and the four robbers at the elevator entrance moved out of the way.

"Fake,."

The temporary squad leader scolded, and originally wanted to pick open a little vine with a knife to see if the entangled companion was dead or alive, but was stopped by a robber: "Captain, look at the knife in the hand of the man on the ground, I think he might have wanted to do the same thing as you......"

Having said that, a cold sweat broke out in the head of the temporary team leader, and the observation was still not enough.

Putting away the knife, the temporary squad leader pulled out a pistol and fired two shots at the leg of a bandit who was entangled, and blood splashed everywhere, and the body of the entangled bandit only moved when he was shot, and then regained his calm. The rose vines wrapped around him seemed to sense his blood loss, and at once a vine spread over the two wounds and blocked the bleeding wound, and soon the vine stopped bleeding—blood is a precious source of nutrients and water for plants, and it cannot be wasted.

But seeing this scene, the temporary team leader and the four robbers all thought of going to church to pray and repent, and the five of them all thought that they had encountered the demon flower from hell.

The temporary team leader said in the end: "The elevator is down. The four of you go up the stairs to the fourth floor. ”

The four bandits climbed up the stairs to the corner, and soon reached the corner of the third to fourth floors, and when they looked up and saw a dense devil vine, the four bandits saw that their scalps were numb and did not dare to go up, leaving two people to watch at the corner of the third floor, and the remaining two people went downstairs to report to the temporary team leader wearing gray hoods.

One of the prerequisites for joining this mysterious group in their last effort is to hand over all communications equipment - as these are likely to be monitored by the Department of Homeland Security, and only a dozen temporary team leaders will have wireless communication equipment for short-distance communication between teams after the operation begins.

After hearing that the stairs were also blocked by the devil vine, the temporary team leader didn't want to report the news, because this would only create panic internally, and it would be detrimental to the big thing he was doing now.

The temporary squad leader said: "Let those two people take down, since there is a devil vine, there is no need to go up, fortunately, we already have enough hostages." ”

After a while, before the troops mobilized by the mayor and governor arrived, the government's anti-terrorism experts and negotiators arrived first, and the negotiators began to talk to themselves from afar, persuading the robbers to calm down first.

Now that the negotiations have begun, the robbers do not want to die here, and they have begun to ask the negotiators on the government's side to send all the personnel, including the hostages, to Cuba in three large airliners, including the hostages. The hostages would then be released in Cuba and returned by plane. There are a lot of people who have to take a bus to the airport, so 20 buses are needed.

Of course, this request is a lion's mouth, you must know that after 911, the United States has become stricter in the management of aircraft, if these terrorists carry hostages and drive a plane to hit the Empire State Building, how can it be broken?

Naturally, this condition could not be agreed, but the robbers were angry, and the robbers thought that the US government should agree to their conditions in full if they had so many hostages in their hands.

The temporary leader of one of the robbers shouted: "Do you think that we don't dare to kill hostages, well, I also think that there are too many hostages, and the three large passenger planes and twenty buses are a little too much to ride." From now on, before the bus to the airport leaves for the door, we kill one hostage at a minute. Until the number of people who can take the three large passenger planes remains. ”

The temporary leader of the robbers waved his hand, and the two robbers pushed out of the door of the casino with a tied up casino security guard, and when they arrived at the door, the two robbers pushed the casino security guard outward at the same time, and the security guard walked a few steps forward along the inertia, and a gunshot rang out behind, and the casino security guard's body flew forward a few meters before rolling down the steps, and was shot not far from the casino.

This scene was truthfully recorded by reporters and broadcast live to the whole country, and the US government was also under great pressure when they saw the dead hostages. Negotiators shouted at the robbers to remain calm and stop killing people, or the government might send troops under pressure to strike them militarily in the hope of freeing the hostages.

After killing Mingzhi, the robbers also took a step back and released more than 30 people from the hostages, including women and children with children and pregnant women. And shouted, changing the killing time to five minutes to kill one.

The U.S. government, on its part, was glad to have gotten out the child and the pregnant woman, and five minutes had arrived, this time it was a white lobby manager in his forties at the casino, who had been pushed out of the hotel door with his hands tied and trembling, and had just taken a few steps and fell to the ground and rolled down the stairs with a gunshot.

The plane will never be provided, not to mention the three large passenger planes, and the anti-terrorism experts in the United States have already discussed and come up with a plan to rescue the hostages in a short period of time, but it will take some time for the bus to be modified. The negotiators tried again, and the temporary leaders of the most robbers felt that the time for killing the hostages should be extended by one minute to six minutes.

In the same time, another casino security guard and a licensed dealer collapsed under the steps in front of the casino.

During this time, the robbers who used to control thousands of hostages were not idle, and the hostages controlled by the robbers had honestly handed over their valuable belongings and transferred money online to the accounts provided by the robbers to buy their lives.
