Chapter 23 [Big News, Big News!] 】

Beep beep beep ...

In the early morning, the police cars whizzing by are endless, and the beautiful, comfortable and harmonious northern holiday town in the past has ushered in the unprecedented liveliness of its existence for a hundred years today.

"Oh my!"

In the center of the town, the cashier of a convenience store, looking at the police car whizzing outside the door, said to the customers who were buying, "What's going on today!" There were so many police cars at once, I can't remember that there were so many police officers in our town! ”

"You don't know yet?" The customer glanced at the cashier in surprise, as if to say don't tease me.

The cashier frowned: "What do you know?" ”

The customer walked to the transparent glass door and looked at the police car that was still whistling outside, "Yesterday afternoon in our town, a prisoner killed Officer Arthur and fled from the police station to the mountain, and then Sheriff Will and they went to chase them, and another police officer accidentally fell into the trap set by the prisoner and died, and now the matter has been reported to the state police." ”

"Oh my God! Officer Arthur is dead! The cashier covered his mouth, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Officer Arthur came to me yesterday morning to buy a pack of cigarettes. ”

"yes, I saw Officer Arthur patrolling at the intersection yesterday!" The customer sighed slightly.

While the two lamented the impermanence of the world, another ambulance sped by the road at the entrance.

"What's going on? Something happened there again! ”

The customer and the cashier looked out the door curiously.

At this time, another customer walked in at the door, and he saw the cashier waving warmly and greeting, "Good morning, Merry." ”

The cashier smiled and said, "Good morning, David." ”

David asked, "What were you just looking at?" ”

The cashier, Mai Rui, pointed to the ambulance that drove by, "An ambulance just passed, and we were wondering what was going on." ”

"You don't know yet?"

David followed the gaze of the two of them, and saw an ambulance on the road in the distance driving to the only hospital in the town, and he said with a strange expression: "Yesterday, a prisoner killed a police officer from the police station and fled to the mountains. ”

"We know that, but what does it have to do with ambulances? Could it be that the officer should be sent to the hospital now? Merry frowned, wasn't that what happened last night? Is it time to send people down?

"That's all in the past." David waved his hand, indicating that he was not talking about it.

The first customer looked at David in surprise: "Could it be that someone is hurt again?!" ”

David nodded: "Yes, I just came from the front, and I heard that it was from the police station and the state police, and in the process of chasing in the mountains, the prisoner injured several people, and the ambulance just now should have sent these people down." ”

The customer exclaimed, "Oh my God! I heard from Joyce in town that the state police had dispatched more than 30 people this time! ”

Joyce, a pipe repair worker in the town, was temporarily called to the police station in the middle of the night last night, as if to repair the pipe destroyed by the prisoners, and the news of the state police dispatch was revealed by him, so that it spread throughout the town.

The cashier Mai Rui was also surprised: "This prisoner is so powerful!" ”

"Awesome? Hehe, it's not just amazing! ”

David looked left and right, lowered his voice pressure mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "I heard that this prisoner is a soldier who participated in that damn war, and is said to have won several medals of honor, do you think about the people who can survive that damn war, which one is simple?" ”

"Soldiers! Also received the Medal of Honor, what the hell is going on? When the cashier Mai Rui and the customer heard such a big news, they couldn't help but show a shocked expression, they thought it was just an ordinary fugitive, who knew that it was a retired soldier!

"Believe me, this matter is not so easy to solve, we all know very well how big the Wells are, and it is impossible to catch a soldier who has participated in a jungle war, thirty people!" David glanced at the two of them meaningfully, this gesture seemed to determine that the fugitive would have a bigger move!

……

At the entrance to the Wells Mountains near the town, after a morning, the local police station and the state police who rushed to support had set up more than a dozen temporary tents, and the police officers and state police who came and went were busy.

Some people are arguing loudly with their companions, as if discussing how to go into the mountains to arrest people, and some are talking to the helicopter over the walkie-talkie, asking if they have found any trace of the prisoner named Rambo.

A police helicopter slowly descended to level ground, and a man in a state police uniform stepped out of the helicopter and headed straight for the tent in the makeshift command room.

Several news reporters who had already arrived saw the sign on the chest of the state policeman, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Officer, what happened in the holiday town?" Why did so many state police officers dispatch and temporarily control the blockade of two highways! ”

"Sorry, no comment!"

With an official statement, the state sheriff turned and left the crowd of reporters, not giving the uncrowned kings any chance to ask questions.

A bespectacled journalist, following closely behind the officer, relentlessly asked, "Officer, we are journalists!" With the right to news, the public needs to know the truth! ”

The state sheriff glanced at him and shouted to the two officers next to him, "You two take him out for me." ”

"Yes." Two police officers immediately stepped forward to hold the reporter and dragged him to force him away.

"You're a crime officer! We are journalists, we have the power to obtain the truth for the people, you are desecrating the public's right to know, I will report it to the headquarters, you just wait to face the anger of the people! ”

The spectacled reporter struggled desperately, trying to open the restraints of the two, but he could only roar hysterically at the forceful police officer.

In the face of the threat of the journalist, the state sheriff did not care at all, anyway, there was the public relations department of the state police department to do the coordination work, and he just had to complete his task.

Walk into the temporary headquarters.

The state sheriff saw his old friend Sheriff Will, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and saw that his face was covered with small scars and his arms fixed with wooden boards, and he frowned and said, "Will, what's going on?" A murderer made your police station like this? Two died, three were seriously injured, and even you had a broken arm. ”

"Bliss, are you laughing at me?" Sergeant Will glanced at the old friend coldly, and then said with an unhappy expression: "This arm of mine was accidentally broken during the night pursuit, but it wasn't done by that damn prisoner." ”

"What about the other three seriously injured guys? Don't tell me it's also caused by a fall! ”

Bliss didn't look at Will's eyes that wanted to kill, and continued to shout: "A thigh and arm have been pierced by sharp wood, an eye has been blinded by an unknown poison, and a large artery has been ruptured, if it were not for timely rescue, I am afraid that I would have died." ”

"You don't want to tell me here that all these fatal wounds on your men were caused by your own carelessness when you were arresting prisoners at night!" Bliss growled at Will!

"Enough is Bliss!"

Will stood up in annoyance, looked directly at Bliss and shouted, "You want me to tell you that I saw my subordinates being ravaged by the traps set by that damn guy in the jungle, right?!" ”

"Good!"

Sheriff Will roared with grief and indignation, "I'll tell you all! This damn Rambo, a battle-hardened soldier who relied on a few simple tools to set undetectable traps in the jungle that left my men seriously injured and nearly killed them!

Even I accidentally fell into the hole, and if it weren't for luck, I wouldn't have just broken my arm, but I was stuck through my body and my head by those rotten logs! Do you know? There was a sharp piece of wood that was less than two centimeters from my eyes, two centimeters!! ”

Looking at Will's hysterical roar, Bliss said calmly, "You said that the man's name is Rambo?" Is it a soldier?! ”

After the outburst, Will's frightened and panicked mood calmed down a lot, and in the face of Bliss's questioning, he said lightly: "I don't know very well, I only found out that he was a soldier and participated in that damn war." ”

"Someone!" Bliss hurriedly called out to the police officers on duty outside the door and said to them: "Go and inform Officer George, and ask him to send Rambo's information to the state police department, so that the state police can investigate the identity of this guy." ”

"Sir, you can't go in, you can't go in, sir."

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a middle-aged man wearing a beret and an army-green trench coat pushed away the two guards blocking the door and forced his way into the temporary command room.

Will, who was not in a good mood, saw a guy dressed like a soldier forcibly rushing in, and said unhappily: "Who are you!" Don't you know that this is the command room, and no idle people are allowed to enter! ”

"I'm Captain Sam Totman!" Captain Sam said calmly.

Captain of the military!

Will frowned and said, "We're a little busy this morning, is there anything I can do to help you?" If not, please go out. ”

"I'll pick up my men."

Bliss grasped the point and asked, "Subordinates?" You mean that the man named Rambo is your subordinate?! ”

"A former subordinate." Captain Sam said indifferently: "I recruited him, I trained him, and I commanded him in Vietnam for three years, so I said he was my subordinate." ”

"Did the Ministry of Defense send you to help us capture Rambo?" Bliss raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that even the military top brass knew about this matter.

Captain Sam said, "Almost, but not to accompany you to capture him, but to rescue you from him!" ”

"Save us from him?!" Wilhaha laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? That guy was chased by us and hid in the mountains, and now that we have more police, it's only a matter of time before we arrest him. ”

"No!" Captain Sam said with great seriousness, "You have no idea how powerful Rambo really is!" ”

In Will and Bliss's puzzled expressions, Captain Sam slowly talked about Rambo's record, "He is the most elite soldier in the Vietnam War, good at fighting with knives and guns, bare-handed fighting, and is proficient in jungle combat and assassination techniques, once Rambo strayed into the enemy's secret base alone, there were more than 80 enemy soldiers in that base, when we thought Rambo died, he appeared in front of everyone unharmed, and that base has been destroyed by Rambo......"

As Captain Sam told Rambo little by little about his glorious achievements, this man who was once mistaken by Will for an ordinary veteran soldier was so powerful, which gave Will an illusion of life after the catastrophe.

Bliss was also shocked, he never expected that this fugitive would have such a big background, fortunately he did not act rashly, otherwise if there were more casualties, then his position might not be saved!

Sam glanced at the two of them and sighed softly, bringing back memories of his time in that war.

While the three of them were still in the middle of their lives, one was afraid, the other worried, and one reminisced, none of them noticed that there was a hole in the corner of the tent, and one arm pressed the button for recording on an old-fashioned tape recorder.

The reporter who secretly recorded nervously and carefully put the tape recorder into his arms, looked left and right, found that no one noticed him, turned around and left the back of the tent of the headquarters.

As he walked, he excitedly whispered, "Big news, big news!" This is really big news! Damn Brant, if you don't give me a little more money, don't try to get these recordings out of me, I'm sure the New York Journal will pay a big price!

By the way, the people at NBC TV must be very interested in this news, and it seems that I have to plan my next vacation activities, before that, I have to buy a new car and pay off the mortgage by the way. ”

Will, Sam and others in the tent of the command headquarters didn't know that the conversation between the three of them had just been recorded by reporters, and it was even more unclear how big the social impact was when this recording was broadcast during the peak hours of NBC News TV!

It can be said that it is a riot that is rare in the world after World War II!
