Chapter 158: Countdown (Ask for Subscription!) )
Time has passed little by little, this world-renowned kidnapping case is still going on, and the president's wife and daughter have still not been rescued, which means that the time for that show is getting closer and closer.
Some people are sad about it, some people are angry about it, but there are also many people who are excited about it and look forward to it......
It's a tragedy, but not everyone sees it that way.
The kidnapper is a genius, but he doesn't disappear into the world out of thin air.
Under this terrifying search intensity, I was finally caught with clues.
Unfortunately, it was a trap, a trap deliberately left by the kidnappers, and this trap dragged on for a long time.
Over the next few hours, several more locations were found, but all of them were smoke bombs thrown by the kidnappers.
The president became more and more impatient, and even felt his soul float out of his body, feeling that the whole world was beginning to distort and he became a puppet.
The live broadcast venue is ready, but this is the worst-case scenario, and it is also his last chance.
At the same time, the night, which was supposed to celebrate the arrival of Christmas, became incredibly quiet.
Streets that should have been bustling with activity tonight were now empty, except for the occasional child running by, and everyone was in front of the television.
This year's Christmas Eve is destined to be unusual.
The five-minute countdown began, and the president walked into the studio in a cold sweat and under the gaze of a pair of eyes.
Everything is ready.
His partner was also sedated and washed clean to ensure it didn't hurt him.
The photographer is in place and the live streaming equipment is turned on.
He also began to prepare.
Wife, daughter, plus his rights, when it all came together, he decided to fight once.
His dignity fell to shreds with the falling clothes.
Of course, there is also good news, that is, after an online survey, his approval rating has risen a lot, reaching a new high for recent presidents.
That's the only thing he's happy about.
Meanwhile, with a five-minute countdown, Charles and Nick Fury are also on the move.
To be more precise, in fact, they have already found their target, but they have been waiting, waiting for the countdown, waiting for the president to accept his tragic fate, waiting for the moment when he has one foot into the abyss and is about to recover, and they will pull each other out.
When the time comes, the president who has already accepted his fate is suddenly saved, and the gratitude and excitement generated by the huge gap are far from being comparable to saving the other party an hour in advance.
This is Nick Fury's proposal.
According to his words, it is inevitable that the other party will make a fool of himself anyway, so it is better to take this opportunity to fight for more benefits for them.
There is such a thing as a president, but this kind of opportunity is not very often.
There is no doubt that Charles, who is the main contributor, has a very good chance of getting ...... when he brings up the matter of School X after this incident At the very least, it will have strong support from the president and reduce a lot of resistance.
Even after the details of the incident were revealed, Charles would become the hero who saved the poor president in the eyes of many.
"Let's do it."
With two minutes left in the countdown, Nick Fury said to Charles.
He still had to leave some time to call the White House.
Charles nodded.
This time, it's just him and Nick Fury.
The next second, Charles reached out and pressed his finger on his temple, and then said to Nick Fury, "Okay." ”
Nick Fury hadn't finished his breath yet, and when he heard this, he was stunned and said, "This is the end?" ”
Charles nodded and said, "Contact the other side, let's go and bring them out first." ”
Nick Fury took out his phone and said, "No problem. ”
As the words fell, the two walked towards the building, and Nick Fury looked at the time, and after a sixty-second countdown, pressed the number.
At the same time, in addition to the president and his partner, there was only one photographer left in the live broadcast room, as well as the president's secretary.
There's still a minute to count......
The live stream begins.
The president looked at the screen with a sad expression and said: "I am willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of my family, and this is also my promise to everyone!" ”
He walked forward slowly, his whole body trembling slightly.
Closer and closer, closer and closer, just as he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and was ready to go out, even bent his waist......
"Stop! Stop it! ”
The secretary shouted excitedly, rushed directly to the confused president, pulled the president away, and pulled out the shirt on his arm, wrapped it around the president's waist, and shouted at the president: "Sir! Saved! Rescued! It's okay! ”
The president was stunned, his body suddenly weakened, and he sat on the ground, and then he jumped up with a red face, and shouted loudly to the camera: "To the great nation!" ”
It is nothing more than the feeling of falling from the most powerful position on earth to hell and from hell to heaven.
The cheers rang out, and people cheered excitedly, but there were also many people who were disappointed because they didn't see what they wanted to see.
But one way or another, the president was redeemed.
With a flushed face, he put back the clothes one by one, strode out of the studio, and hugged everyone.
This time, not only did he not lose face, but he received higher support because of it, and the next election was lost.
In an instant, he thought about the next election.
A group of people walked into the president's office.
The president is still in the excitement of the rest of his life, walking around incessantly.
"Who is it? Who saved my wife and daughter? ”
He paused and asked his secretary excitedly.
"Yes......"
"What is it?"
"It's a mutant."
"Mutants!?"
The president paused.
"Yes, Your Excellency, that's what S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury reported."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.? Isn't it their work? ”
"No, there are only two people in this operation, Nick Fury and a mutant named Charles, and it was this mutant who rescued your family." After a pause, the secretary said, "That's what Nick Fury reported. ”
Nick Fury?
This bastard isn't the one to give away the credit, so it was really the mutant who saved him this time?
Praise this mutant!
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Charles, is it called Charles? I want to see him! Right now! ”
"They're rushing here with your family, and they'll be there in a moment."
The president nodded, then frowned, and said, "Coming in a while?" What do you mean? Where did they find the kidnappers? ”
Hearing this question, the secretary's face was a little strange, and he said, "It's five blocks away from here." ”
As soon as the words came out, there was silence in the office, and the president's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but scold everyone: "A group of rice buckets!" ”
