Chapter 16: Diving Back
The tape of ABB's interview with Rambo was uncut and broadcast on the national television network.
It's not that they don't want to make more money and broadcast it several times, but they are worried that they won't be able to broadcast anymore if they encounter too much resistance.
Therefore, they simply broadcast it all at once to attract the attention of the society.
Moreover, they were all broadcast at once, and they are not without rights. Other TV stations want to broadcast this content, and they also have to pay for it.
Will watched the news from the confinement room of the Holiday Town Police Department, and in his office, there were important officials from Washington State and Thurston County, where Holiday Town is located.
All of them have now been overwhelmed by a Rambo......
More than 300 county police officers were transferred to Thurston County, 200 to the state police, and 2,500 to the local National Guard.
However, these people are a drop in the ocean for the Olympia Peninsula, which covers an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers.
Even if the range is narrowed down and combed through a radius of 200 kilometers that appear in Rambo, they can't do it.
It's not a plain, it's full of mountains with complex terrain and more than 90 percent forested cover.
For a warrior who is good at jungle warfare, this is full of loopholes.
What's more, Rambo has been constantly changing costumes from the beginning, and the role of police dogs is greatly reduced, making it difficult for them to find people.
20,000 people alone can't block this area.
Seeing Rambo's complaint against Will on TV, everyone had mixed feelings.
Will is the bastard who caused this crisis that affects the whole country, and now they have to wipe his ass.
But at this time, no one mentioned him anymore, because everyone knew that he was finished.
Now he has only been dismissed, and when the investigation team arrives, only prison will be his home.
Will was at fault, but it was definitely not a crime.
But his discrimination against the people at the bottom can be covered up in ordinary times, but in the face of this turmoil, he can only become a scapegoat.
He caught Rambo who was just passing by, and Deputy Sheriff Galt abused Rambo, Rambo resisted, triggering a pursuit, and Galt fell off the plane and died, turning the case into a dead end.
One wrong step, all the plate is lost.
The Major General of the National Guard, seeing that the room full of people and no one spoke, brought up the conversation. "Rambo's ability to fight in the field is beyond everyone's expectations, and no one can defeat him. In addition, he was originally a retired soldier, and after the TV program was broadcast this time, the soldiers of the guard team will be even more passive and slack off. ”
FBI Inspector McClairy said, "Since Rambo is willing to be interviewed, we can use the media to reach out to him and reach a settlement with him." ”
The governor asked, "What kind of settlement?" ”
"As long as he turns himself in, we can guarantee that he will not be sentenced to death."
Thurston County Sheriff Hassler said angrily: "He killed more than a hundred policemen, nearly a hundred National Guard soldiers, are we going to let him go?" ”
McClairy said, "If you don't want to, you can go and kill Rambo, and I'll give you credit." ”
Hasler immediately withered. "No, I'm too old to be at the front."
McClary sneered and said, "So you just want to trade someone else's life for Rambo's." ”
Such a dispute is fruitless, after all, neither of them is a person who can decide. Rambo is in the mountains, but they can't catch it, and even send more people, they will only send them to death.
If Rambo is spared, no one can decide, which will cause strong discontent in society and cause social unrest.
As for persuading Rambo to surrender, no one was sure when Rambo was already suicidal.
Moreover, no one dares to take the risk of compromising with criminals.
The situation seems to be deadlocked here.
And when Rambo's interview was broadcast, countless political groups, large and small, saw an opportunity.
In the name of Rambo, they began to make various demands, among which the most popular was the Veterans Association.
There are many veterans' associations in the United States, various disability associations, psychological trauma associations, official and unofficial, there are dozens.
The Veterans Association, headquartered in Indianapolis, is an official association authorized by Congress and has a huge presence in the United States.
Under their liaison, dozens of various military associations set off a nationwide "Focus on the Veterans, Stay Out of War" marches.
There are also radical groups that use Rambo's deeds to carry out various protests in order to achieve their own political demands.
But all this, Zhou Zhen, who was far away in the mountains and forests, didn't know about it, and he couldn't use it at all.
After accepting an interview, Zhou Zhen also decided not to accept the interview for the time being, because the interview is the most dangerous time.
Moreover, he was not sure if it was a trap or not.
Because according to his estimates, as long as Charlie successfully reported his interview, the reporters in this area will definitely be regulated, and the reporters who appear are most likely military pretends.
What's more, his task is to oppose the United States, unlike ordinary people, who have their own demands.
After killing so many people, he didn't expect anyone to let him go.
His movements were mostly in the afternoon, and after the battle, it was soon dark, so that he could quickly hide.
However, the pursuit team also gradually mastered his habits, or rather, became more prepared,
Every morning, the pursuit will be carried out in a wide net, and after 3 p.m., the teams will converge to guard against Zhou Zhen's attack.
At this stage, Zhou Zhen knew that he couldn't expect to kill many more people.
He began to go into complete hiding, no longer killing people, and his pursuers gradually lost his tracks.
At this time, he was very grateful to the reporters who were scurrying around the mountains, because because of their appearance, the role of police dogs was weakened.
On December 9, the tenth day of Zhou Zhen's entry into this world, the police had lost Zhou Zhen's trace for three days, and he had sneaked into the mountains and forests outside Holiday Town.
In the past ten days, except for the interview with Charlie that day, he didn't say a word, he didn't talk to anyone, and he even doubted whether he could speak.
He has really had enough of this lonely day and night when his nerves are tense all day long and there is no outlet for catharsis.
He is not afraid of hardship, but he has not chatted and talked to anyone normally for ten days, he eats and sleeps alone, and his spirit is tense, and this kind of mental torture is really unbearable for him.
He had decided to make a big move in Holiday Town, and whether he could kill Will or not, he would immediately go away.
Zhou Zhen is not a real Rambo, he doesn't have any patriotic complexes or other concerns, he just wants to complete the task.
One of the side quests is to flee to Mexico, which is also a plot in the novel, but in the end, the author still makes Rambo choose to commit suicide.
But of course Zhou Zhen would not choose this ending......
Holiday Town, a small mountain town, has become a base camp for the encirclement of Zhou Zhen, and the roads here have been closed, but a small town in the valley has countless holes to drill.
Zhou Zhen observed on the hillside for a long time and found that the original police station had become a command headquarters. High-end cars are parked there, and officials in and out of it are dressed in military and police uniforms, as well as suits and leather shoes.
Zhou Zhen began to think about whether to kill them in one pot, which was far more sensational than killing two hundred soldiers.
In the Holiday Town Police Station, bigwigs from all walks of life occupied all the positions of the original policemen, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.
More than 3,000 people chased after one person, but not only did they not catch anyone, but they also lost the trace of Rambo in the past few days.
It has taken countless manpower and material resources, and if they can't catch people, they will be criticized by the people, and they will be labeled as incompetent by their superiors.
But Rambo's choice of the mountains as the battlefield really made them like hedgehogs, and they had no idea where to start.
What made them even more helpless was that the morale of the National Guard was getting lower and lower, and they were about to lose their call. Even if they are still performing their duties as soldiers, they are only coping with errands.
Both the National Guard and the county police have proposed bombing tactics, but the state government has opposed them, and the two sides are still in a stalemate.
After observing the hillside for a long time, Zhou Zhen set his targets on two areas, one is the town's police station, and the other is the town's only bar and hotel.
After the arrival of these big shots, most of them stayed in this hotel, but because they were afraid that they would implicate civilians, Zhou Zhen was a little hesitant.
The sky gradually darkened, Zhou Zhen hid under the bridge by the ditch in the town, slowly chewed a compressed biscuit in his mouth and swallowed it.
There was half a bucket of water in the iron lunch box in front of him, which was poured from the mountain stream upstream, although there may be germs, but he will leave this world in twenty days, and he is not worried about parasites.
The previously peaceful town has a different prosperity because of the addition of thousands of soldiers and logistics troops, plus hundreds of reporters.
There are levels at several entrances and exits and streets in the town, but these levels are useless for Zhou Zhen.
After sitting in the bridge and thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Zhen still decided to let go of the hotel, there were too many civilians there.
Despite the influence of Cyrus's ideas, he was not really a murderer.
He was afraid that he would kill too many people and have too much influence on himself in the real world.
If he also treats human life like a mustard in the real world, then he is really crazy.
It's already night, but the police station is still brightly lit, and the command here is on standby twenty-four hours a day.
Zhou Zhen observed in the dark for a long time, but did not find Will, and at this time he did not know that Will had been suspended and imprisoned in the basement of the police station.
When Zhou Zhen's case is understood, he will also be interrogated.
It was still early, and Zhou Zhen saw that on the hillside above the police station, the blue light of a TV flashed in the living room of a family.
He thought about it for a moment and decided to go to the town's post office first, where there should be newspapers for the recent period.
Only by getting more outside information can he better plan for the next step.
