Chapter 582: Hostage Crisis
After successfully rendezusing with Liu Peiqiang, Qiao Lu has to find a way to rescue Morpheus.
Now it's not just the FBI SWAT, but even the National Guard and the U.S. Marine Corps are rushing here.
If it weren't for the password of Zion's host from Morpheus's mouth, I'm afraid that all the Hellfire missiles and drone bombardment would have been called.
For Jolu, Morpheus is a hostage to be saved. The mother body is also a rat thrower, at least until Smith asks for the password of the Zion host, so that the US military can launch an airstrike with impunity.
Both sides are in a race against time, and the focus of the battle is Morpheus. It's just that one is to save people, and the other is to interrogate key information.
Smith also understands this, as long as he can ask for the password, Morpheus has no use value. They can blow up the entire factory in no time and wipe out everyone here.
For this reason, he decided to abandon the breakout, ordered the FBI to reinforce the room, and began to interrogate Morpheus on the spot.
An agent injects a tube of unidentified fluid into Morpheus' neck artery, which appears to be a drug like a truth teller, but is actually a virus that has penetrated the brain, causing Morpheus to gradually lose his will to resist and tell all the information they want to know.
After the injection, Smith said impatiently: "Raise the dose, we don't have time to grind!" ”
"Overuse could have caused him to die before he could tell the truth, and we shouldn't have done that." The agent replied mechanically.
"I don't care!"
Smith personally picked up the syringe and plunged it into Morpheus's neck, injecting the whole tube of the drug.
At this time, Smith seems to have lost his mind, and he has strong human emotions, which is the main reason why he will lose control in the future.
Morpheus, who had been injected twice, looked even more dull, and his whole person seemed to have lost his soul, but he still didn't say a word, and he refused to say the key password.
Qiao Lu's side detected where Morpheus was, and the other party's choice to defend it was indeed unexpected.
However, Qiao Lu also reacted immediately, Smith planned to raze this place to the ground as soon as he interrogated the password, which was indeed more difficult to be recaptured as a hostage than forcibly breaking through.
Trinity said worriedly, "The agents have special interrogation methods, and I'm afraid Morpheus won't last long." ”
In contrast, Qiao Lu is more concerned about another issue:
"Is it possible for the Mother to have a chance to escape by connecting a door or window to another place, just as it did in the first place to block the exit from this factory?"
Trinity shook her head and said, "That's not something that can be done in a short period of time, so that's why I said it's a designed trap······"
Only then did she suddenly realize: "Wait, if you hadn't leaked the information, how would the Mother know that we would meet here?" ”
After a series of battles, Trinity has realized that Qiao Lu is not the one who lured them into the trap.
So who is causing this situation? If it's not the problem on Qiao Lu's side, then there are ghosts in their team!
Trinity finally found out about this, and now it is not only the captured Morpheus who is in danger, but also a traitor lurking next to Neo, who seems to have escaped.
She immediately contacted the operator in the real world and asked, "Tank, how are the others?" ”
"They're on their way to the evacuation point, but Sever and the others are getting separated and preparing to get out of another location first."
"No!" Trinity shouted, remembering everything that had happened before, and she immediately understood.
"Seifer is a traitor! He betrayed us! Lock him up first, and then deal with him when we get back!" ”
Seeing that Trinity finally realized the problem herself, Qiao Lu was relieved. All that is left is to rescue Morpheus, and the operation will end perfectly.
The Scout of the Wandering Earth Survey Group reported back: "The hostages are being held in a room on the lower floor of the factory, surrounded by all remaining police officers for defense, as well as three Matrix agents. It is not difficult to annihilate them, but correspondingly difficult to ensure the safety of the hostages. ”
Even Matrix agents can't survive under large areas of fire, as Jolu has proven with her Gatling gun.
But Morpheus was tied to a chair in the middle of the room, and once the Wandering Earth Survey Team covered it with fire, he would surely die unless every one of them was a master of human strokes.
Hearing this, Trinity proposed with a solemn face:
"Zion is more important than all of us, and if we can't get Morpheus out, at least prevent the agents from getting the password to access Zion's console. So if you really can't do it, please at least let him be free······"
Jolu held her mouth down to prevent Trinity from talking.
"Shhhhhh
Of course, there are Russians in the Wandering Earth Survey Group, and everyone carries an RPG on their backs (the Wandering Earth's bazookas never occupy a heavy weaponry, and one can only be regarded as the norm for each person), and the consequences for them to hear such words can be unimaginable.
The hostage is the key to the mission, and when the enemy no longer has the hostage, the mission is complete.
Jolu also needs Morpheus to convince Zion's higher-ups, which is difficult for anyone else to do, so it's better to get him back alive.
After calming Trinity, Qiao Lu turned to Liu Peiqiang and asked:
"Do we still have enough explosives?"
"Of course, we'd rather have no bullets than no explosives, and that's definitely enough." Liu Peiqiang replied.
No wonder every operation is so big, they really came to demolish.
Qiao Lu asked again: "How many team members in the team have undergone the perfect T virus modification and can open the gene lock?" ”
"One-third, the rest is to master psionic energy or prosthetic modification, but unfortunately it won't come in handy here."
The other team members did not open the genetic lock as high as Qiao Lu, but they were also able to concentrate highly in a short period of time, so that their marksmanship was accurate enough not to be accidentally injured.
Liu Peiqiang had already guessed Qiao Lu's thoughts, and further explained:
"This can instantly eliminate all the FBI SWAT in the room, but the agents will not be hit so easily, we still have to find a way to deal with the three agents inside, we can't just shoot an RPG, right?"
"Of course, I'll find a way to hold them back."
Qiao Lu had already killed an agent with a pistol, which showed that small arms could also work, but it was more difficult, and gunfighting was not something that everyone could play.
The most troublesome thing is Agent Smith, his strength is obviously better than other agents, whether it can work or not, only the real fight can be known!
