Chapter 66: Guarding the Sacred Flame 4
Subsection 1
The day of the flame lighting has finally arrived, and the dream of the Chinese people is about to come true, and Li Wei was fortunate to witness this unprecedented grand occasion with his own eyes. Before the ceremony began, there were two surprises: first, the rainy weather was predicted to disappear, and the sun was shining on Mount Olympus all morning; Second, Greek President Papoulias was present at the scene, and before that, the Greek president had only attended the flame lighting ceremony of the Athena World Games held in his country.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the flame lighting ceremony of the Yanjing World Games officially began, and the national anthems of the two countries sounded one after another.
Rogge, Chairman of the World Games, and Kryaku, Chairman of the Greek World Games, delivered speeches one after another, wishing the World Games a smooth journey and the success of the Yanjing Games. Subsequently, Liu Qi, Chairman of the Yenching World Organizing Committee, delivered a speech: "The flame of the World Games, which originates from the sun god, carries the yearning for light and warmth, embodies the strength of fearlessness and struggle, and is a noble symbol of the ideals and spirit of Olympus, which has inspired the people of the world again and again to pursue the passion for peace, friendship and progress. China and Greece are both ancient civilizations with a long history, and both have made outstanding contributions to the progress of human civilization. Today, the flame of the World Games, which represents the noble spirit of mankind, will be lit again, flying from Mount Olympus to the Great Wall, and it will take the torch of the Yanjing World Games to travel through the mountains and rivers of our common homeland, igniting passion, passing on dreams, spreading light and joy, peace and friendship, and spreading the spirit of Olympus to the hearts of the people of the 1.3 billion Chinese and the people of the five continents......
After the chairman of the Greek World Games Atonis presented Liu Qi with the tinder jar of the World Games flame, the World Games flame lighting ceremony began at 11:40 local time in front of the Temple of Hera, and 8 minutes later, the famous Greek actor Mariana Fupli, who served as the highest priestess, lit the torch in her hand through the concave mirror, and the Yanjing World Games flame collection was a complete success!
This moment is highly anticipated!
This moment will be remembered by history!
At this moment, the Chinese people are jubilant!
Countless people left tears of joy!
After the fire was lit, the priests and goddesses danced with religious overtones and walked towards the Arena of Ancient Olympus. According to ancient Greek tradition, a boy with both parents plucked an olive branch that symbolized peace and gave it to a priestess. At 12:12, the High Priestess lit the torch in the hands of the first torchbearer, the Greek taekwondo athlete Alexander Nikoladze, who won the Olympic silver medal in Athena, at the entrance to the ancient Olympic Arena, and passed the olive branch to him. Alexander lifted the first burning auspicious cloud torch and started the torch relay journey of "igniting passion and passing on dreams" of Yanjing World Games. After praying in front of the tombstone of Coubertin, the father of modern Olympus, Alexander completed the first relay of the Yanjing World Games flame with Liu Yang, the first Chinese torchbearer Athena World Games track and field gold medalist.
Subsection 2
The third Greek athlete, Robert Taylor, dressed in sportswear, waited for the arrival of the auspicious cloud torch, which was very sacred and glorious, and his face was full of joy and excitement. At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, he picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, it turned out that his wife was calling, his wife and children should be nearby, why are they still calling?
"Hey! My dear, I am at the scene of the torch relay, why is it calling at this time, haven't you come here yet? Don't you want to share my joy? ”
A man's voice came over the phone, speaking in broken and very unfluent English:
"Mr. Taylor, you are at the torch relay!"
"Who are you! How could I use my wife's phone! ”
"Your wife and children are in our hands, you don't care who we are, you don't care who we are, you just follow our orders, we won't hurt your family."
"I'm just an athlete, I don't have much money, what's the use of you kidnapping my family!"
"We only need you to do one thing, and after we finish it, not only will the family have nothing to do, but we will also give you a little reward."
"What the hell are you going to do!"
"Trouble Mr. Taylor when he receives the torch, extinguish it, and shout to the Chinese Workers' Party, long live freedom and faith."
"How can this be! I am a ethical, peace-loving athlete! I can't! ”
"If you don't do it, don't blame us for being rude to your family!"
Robert Taylor's trembling face became more and more ugly as he held up his mobile phone, and the staff wanted to come forward to ask but he reached out to stop him. Bluetooth found a problem with the third torch relay athlete on the monitoring system, and immediately used monitoring software to listen to Robert Taylor's call -
"You are so frustrated, what kind of terrorists are you, how can you be so sacred......
"Robert! Don't ramble with me anymore! Whether your family is alive or dead is up to you, and if you say one more word, I'll chop off your wife's fingers! ”
Immediately after that, there were voices of intimidation and crying, Robert Taylor's heart was like a knife, his face was like ashes, and in the face of his family's safety, he could only compromise and break his reputation.
Bluetooth immediately reported the situation to the flame team, sent the address of the kidnapper, and there were still 10 minutes before the flame was about to be passed to the third stick, the old gun thought that he would not be able to catch up with the location anyway, and asked Bluetooth what technique it had to cut off all the communication radio and television signals near the terrorists, and at the same time sent Dao Zai and Li Wei to rush to the kidnapping site as quickly as possible, and the old gun contacted the torch relay security to slow down Liu Yang's running speed as much as possible to prevent Robert Taylor from passing the third torch.
Li Wei and Daozai drove the Yangtze River 22 into a hidden place, activated the stealth function, took off and took off, and rushed to the place where the kidnapping took place, Robert Taylor's home, before the danger occurred. During the flight, Li Wei used a little bit of crossing, and the knife boy didn't notice it. (Li Wei drove the Yangtze River Twenty-two to enter the Juzi Order during the break, and made slight modifications to the Yangtze River Twenty-two and all the equipment on his body to ensure that he would not leak secretly, and the Yangtze River Twenty-two became his best friend, and Li Wei could carry anything inanimate to cross at any time) The situation in the house was scanned and imaged, and it was displayed in front of Li Wei and Daozai. It is a three-storey villa with 5 adult males and hostages on the ground floor in the large living room. The terrorists were armed with knives and pistols, and Robert Taylor's wife and a pair of children were tied up and sat on the couch in front of the TV. The relay of the flame of the World Games was being broadcast live on TV, and Liu Yang had already completed two-thirds of the second stroke.
"Old gun, the mountain cannon and I have arrived at the scene of the terrorist kidnapping, can we immediately carry out a rescue operation!"
"Great, I'll stop Robert Taylor before the torch relay, you guys act now, keep the hostages safe, be careful not to cause a vicious diplomatic incident, and try not to kill people."
"Yes! Mountain artillery, we act immediately, you see my gesture action, we must hit with one hit! ”
"Don't worry, I can handle it!"
"Let's go!"
The terrorists did not have any surveillance equipment and all stayed inside the house, waiting for their operation to succeed. Li Wei and Daozi easily sneaked to the window, after vigilant observation, Daozi found that 5 terrorists were Asian men, 1 person was sitting in front of the TV with a gun, with his back to the hostage, and the other 4 people were holding knives and daggers, not close to the hostage, these people were staring intently at the torch relay in the TV, and Daozi told Li Wei with gestures: He was responsible for killing the other 2 people with the gun and Qianmian, and Li Wei was responsible for the 2 on both sides of the sofa, preparation, 3, 2, 1.
Knife boy and Li Wei smashed through the glass and flew into the house at the same time, Mrs. Taylor and the children screamed in horror, Knife boy fired three knives at once, shot at the wrists of 3 people holding weapons, rolled, kicked continuously, and punched one after another, and the 3 terrorists were reached before they could react, holding their wrists that sprayed blood, moaning loudly and convulsing; Li Wei kicked the man on the left side of the sofa with his feet, the man pouted and stuffed his ass into the wall, Li Wei flew over the head of the hostage and kicked again, this man was even worse, he broke through the wall and flew directly outside. The knife boy immediately contacted the old gun,
"The old gun hostage was successfully rescued!"
"Good! Robert Taylor, who has given up the third baton of the torch relay, Liu Yang is running the third baton! ”
Dao Zai and Li Wei said in unison:
"We saw it!"
Liu Yang, the champion of the world, ran the second and third strokes alone, and successfully completed the handover of the flame with Yaping, the "Queen of Table Tennis" of China......
