Chapter 178: Action (2) [First Update]
There are water dispensers in the bank, but there are no cups near the water dispensers, and the drinking water outlet of the water dispenser also restricts other utensils to receive water, preventing passers-by from coming in to get some water to drink. Capitalists, of course, provide excellent service to clients who can make a profit for themselves, but they are not philanthropists either, and do not want to give even a sip of water to those who are not able to create benefits for them.
This water dispenser must use the bank's internal standard cups to be able to receive water.
The girl didn't hesitate too much, since a child dared to sit in such a place without showing any panic, and the expensive fruit basket he was carrying, it showed that he was indeed capable and likely to be the next customer of the bank. According to the bank's rules and regulations, this child is also one of the objects that she must receive and strive for customers. She smiled and took a glass from the cabinet and walked to the water dispenser ten meters away.
Just then, Savi pulled out three ball-like objects from the fruit basket, pulled off the tabs on them, and placed them on the trash can-like box that Durin had told him, and pressed the button. The whole process took less than five seconds, and no one even noticed what he did. When the girl in charge of the reception turned around, Savi was still sitting on the couch, not noticing that the fruit basket next to Savi seemed to be a little missing.
"Here, your water. The girl walked over and placed the cup in front of Savi, who finally had an expression on his face.
He smiled and said, "We can talk about something related to business." ”
In the underground vault, the staff watched in amazement as three billowed yellow smoke fell from the sorting area, they weren't sure what they were, but everyone knew that when a pile of bills started to smoke, it was definitely not a good thing. A staff member pressed the emergency brake switch, the conveyor belt stopped, and the underground vault beeped at the same time, all without alarming the staff in the upper bank lobby through the thick concrete.
The designers of the underground vault of the Design Bank had taken almost everything into account, except for what someone would throw down from the sorting box. So even though there are many contingency plans in the underground vault, the first time I encounter such a situation, I am still at a loss. The guards gathered one after another, and the manager, who had already planned to let Du Lin and the others leave, also ran to the sorting place in a panic.
Durin turned around and opened the second "empty box", which contained five gas masks, and what Savi dropped was a nerve gas, which was not lethal, but it had a very distinctive feature, that is, it was very diffuse and paralyzing. After inhaling too much, this toxic gas will block the signals between neurons, which can put a person in a state of "paralysis", which can be relieved in about 40 minutes after inhalation.
The closer they were, the faster they naturally fell. Watching the front-row staff fall straight down one by one, the manager immediately realized the danger of this smoke. He did not hesitate to let the guards pull on the fire extinguishing device, although the water mist could not completely block the spread and spread of the smoke, but it could dilute the poisonous smoke to the greatest extent. In less than a minute, more than twenty people had fallen.
The mist slowed down the spread of smoke and relieved the manager and the remaining guards, who were about to return to the top to report the matter to the upper echelons and temporarily close the bank, when they saw five "guards" armed with rifles and wearing gas masks. If at this moment they don't know what's going on, then it's really underestimating their IQ.
The firefight began from the first second when the two sides met their eyes, Durin pointed to the three sprinklers in the sky above the sorting place, and Ellis immediately raised the muzzle of the gun, Durin's tactics were actually not complicated, as long as they were trapped near the sorting place, the poisonous smoke would be able to solve them. Ellis's marksmanship was not very accurate, but fortunately there were enough bullets in the rifle's feeder, and after missing a dozen shots, he finally managed to destroy three sprinklers. The jet of water mist turned into three straight columns of water, and the uncontrolled poisonous mist spread again.
This time, the staff at the sorting office were not so lucky.
The firefight lasted less than five minutes, and the entire underground vault began to be filled with faint yellow poisonous smoke, and the manager fell to the ground tensely, looking at the five robbers wearing gas masks viciously, and his eyes turned black with excitement. He would not let go of these robbers, especially Schubert, who was a bank clerk who colluded with outsiders to rob the bank vault. In fact, what is even worse is that he, as the manager on duty, actually brought this group of robbers into the underground vault, if Schubert could not escape death, then it was difficult for him to die.
There is not only a million security deposits, but also half a ton of gold bricks that have just been transported to deal with the revolutionary army, which is worth 30 million gold!
He's finished, the career he's been fighting for for more than ten years came to an abrupt end at this second, and the angry bank executives would never let him die happily, they would vent their anger on him worth 30 million before letting him leave this world. His wife and children are finished, and his whole family is finished!
Under the gaze of despair and resentment, Durin emptied the contents of the two boxes, and several people quickly stacked the already wet banknotes neatly in the boxes. Money is easy to load, it is not very heavy, it is not good to load those gold bricks, each gold brick weighs fifty kilograms, the higher the density, the more difficult it is to use force, fortunately, in this except for Schubert, all children of poor families were born, and there is always some strength.
After putting the gold bricks away, Durin didn't stay too long, the original plan was that they had five minutes to pry open some personal vaults and collect valuables. But with this 30 million gold bricks, they don't need to do that kind of work anymore. They pushed the two carts to the elevator entrance, and just as Durin was about to leave with everyone, he suddenly realized that he couldn't get out of the bank with this appearance, and even someone would be found on the first floor of the elevator because their clothes were wet.
He didn't think about the fact that there was such a large area of fire extinguishing sprinklers in the underground vault, so he didn't bring a change of clean clothes, but fortunately there were a few guards standing in a relatively high position, and they didn't get wet with water, and it took a lot of effort to change into some clothes that didn't fit well.
When the elevator closes, isolating the manager's resentful gaze, everyone's heart in the elevator becomes calm.
It was an almost perfect plan for a robbery, but after such a time, it would be very difficult to go around the vaults of the imperial capital in the same way. When the elevator reached the first floor, Durin took a deep breath and puffed out of his chest, pushed the small cart and walked out. Just when they thought there should be nothing wrong, one of the guards guarding the elevator door suddenly spoke up, and his words lifted everyone's hearts, and Schubert even trembled a little.
"Hey, the one with the cart, wait a minute. The guard walked towards Durin and his party with a confused expression, a staccato inspiration in his mind, as if he had seen this guard somewhere. But the problem is that this guy heard from the manager that he was from Ordo, and he had never been to a big city like that, so when did they meet?
It was precisely because of the guard's voice that people ignored that the manager did not follow. Durin's pace began to quicken, he wasn't sure if the guard remembered the brief meeting between the two of them the other day, but he couldn't risk stopping. The faster he walked, the more the guard sensed that something might be happening, and just as he stopped and raised his rifle to ask the somewhat familiar fellow to stop immediately, a boy of twelve or thirteen stood up not far from him, took out a pistol from the fruit basket under the shocked gaze of the receiving girl, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The entire bank fell into a brief dead silence, and after a few seconds, an astonishing and piercing sound erupted, and the staff and customers ran towards the bank gate in a panic, and the other three alarmed guards hid behind the elevator and began to fight back.
Durin sped up and pushed the cart to the back door to the garage, where he had two heavy boxes and couldn't go far without the help of the transport vehicle. In the panic, the bank staff seemed to have forgotten all the emergency measures in the rules and regulations, and only cared about finding a place to hide. The group rushed forward in a muffled voice, and no one turned back to save Savi, not because they didn't want to save him, but now was not the time. They had to make sure they left safely before they could go back and save him.
Along the way, Dovers took the initiative to take charge of the charge, opening a passage for the two cars, and when they pushed the cars into the carriage, Dührin grabbed Schubert's collar who was about to enter the carriage together, "Go back with me and bring Savi out, and Dover, the three of us together." ”
Durin is definitely going back, he can indeed leave directly, but if he leaves directly, from today onwards, it will be difficult for anyone to be willing to risk their lives to help him, which will also become a stain on his life, so he must go back. Dover wants to go back because Savi is Dover's younger brother, if he doesn't care about being an elder brother, how can others care about Savi's life?
As for why Schubert went back together, this is what Doolin did not say a few days ago. Originally, he also planned to keep Schubert for a while, in case the banking experts found any clues, if necessary, throw Schubert's body out and then fake the scene, which can completely create a false impression of "being killed with uneven distribution of spoils", and guide the clues to the road of no return of "insiders committing crimes". It's a shame to use it here, but it's not impossible!
