The men turned to their respective positions, no one spoke or objected, and dead silence spread through the night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Colonel sat in his chair and faintly heard someone shouting in the distance, "All hidden...... Thermite preparation-", it seems that the executive department is ready to blast, and then it can penetrate the roof of the warehouse, at this time everyone present should quickly evacuate, leaving the heavy attack mech here to drop the bomb into the hunter's lair.

But the colonel didn't move, he sat still, and in a few seconds he could see the blinding fireworks...... When the executive pushes the detonation button, the magnesium strip ignites the aluminum powder within a second, and the light when it burns is brighter than that of electric welding.

The lives of the three young men trapped in the warehouse were also only a few seconds away.

"Colonel, thermite ready."

The old man nodded and picked up the microphone, "...... Detonate. ”

The executive department member pressed the detonation button, the circuit was turned on in an instant, the current in the battery entered the relay along the wire, the reed bounced, and the joint of the high-voltage fuse burst out with dazzling electric sparks, and the huge current rushed to the igniter at the speed of light.

The men of the Executive Department stood silently, wearing sunglasses to keep their retinas from being burned by the dazzling firelight.

The middle-aged man patted the colonel on the shoulder and sighed, "It's not your fault. ”

"I sometimes think...... I may never have gotten out of that nightmare. The old man whispered, "Fate has pushed such a problem before me again and again, and I have made the same choice. ”

"Someone has to make the decision, and you just take the initiative to take that responsibility." The middle-aged man said, "There will be people who hate you for it, but more people will appreciate you, but isn't that what a leader should be?" ”

"I remember it was early in the morning." The colonel whispered, "It was raining heavily, it was pitch black, and the lights could not penetrate it, and there was no boundless. ”

The old man looked down at his hands, and the scene of him burying the lives of three young men with his own hands seemed familiar.

"Does it take that long for thermite to ignite?" The middle-aged man asked suddenly.

The colonel was stunned.

The clearing was still black and silent, with no expected eruptions of fire and blinding light.

The executive department was also taken aback, why did thermite not move? Did something go wrong?

"Overhaul! Send someone to overhaul it! Take a look at transformers and relays...... And the line, see if the line is broken...... "The members of the executive department pounced, damn it...... Why did you drop the chain at a critical moment?

"No need." The colonel shook his head and stopped them.

The big men froze in place.

"The undead on that rainy night...... Came to me for revenge. The old man smiled and looked up.

A black figure stepped out of the shadows of the bushes, and the light illuminated half of the young man's face, as usual, with short black hair and loose clothes, as if he had just gotten out of bed, as lazy and sloppy as ever, and he shook his right hand at the old man, who was carrying the plug of the thermite detonator.

Zhao Gao looked at Maxwell Sean opposite, expressionless.

Zhao ...... Zhao Gao? "Everyone froze.

"Zhao Gao? What are you doing? The middle-aged man was furious.

"Stop you from killing." Zhao Gao said lightly.

"Do you know what you're doing? Do you know what's going on right now? The middle-aged man was about to rush up in a hurry, "Stop messing around...... We only have thirty minutes! ”

But he froze again, froze in place, not daring to move, and after a while he slowly raised his hands.

The muzzle of the black hole pointed at his head, and Zhao Gao held the M1911 pistol in his left hand.

Zhao Gao raised his gun and aimed around, a scorching murderous aura rose from his body, "There are nine people present, and there are a total of nine bullets in my extended magazine, so don't try to challenge me...... You know that even if all of you go together, you are no match for me. ”

The big men in the executive department all silently raised their hands.

Zhao Gao glanced at the heavy attack mecha, which was the only weapon capable of threatening him.

"Don't stir up the storm...... Otherwise, I'll destroy that bomb in your hand, and everyone will be done. ”

Storm is honest.

"I'm here for you." Zhao Gao turned his gun to Maxwell Shaun.

The colonel nodded.

"Zhao Gao!" The middle-aged man shouted, "What the hell do you want to do?" Do you want to kill everyone in the Academy? What's in it for you? ”

"Kill everyone?" Zhao Gao smiled, "In my eyes, you are all dead people a long time ago, you died three years ago, and you died on that rainy night!" ”

The middle-aged man was dumbfounded.

"You did choose to detonate the bomb anyway, whether it was three years ago or three years later." Zhao Gao said, "You are really still the same Colonel Maxwell Shaun, you are very proud of surviving by relying on the self-sacrifice of a little girl, right?" You can play with other people's lives between applause again, right? See how easy it is...... With the push of a button, you can decide the life and death of someone else...... Do you believe it or not, I can decide your life and death with the push of a button? ”

"Zhao Gao!" The middle-aged man roared.

"Shut up!" Zhao Gao suddenly became angry, and he roared in the clearing, like an angry lion, "Do you think you are any different from him?" Do you think you don't have blood on your hands? You're all murderers! Murderer! Murderer!! ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, he saw the resentful, sad and desperate young shadow from this young man's body, the shadow knelt alone in the dark rain and cried bitterly, and the sadness merged into a river.

"Say what you want, as long as it doesn't go against the interests of the majority, I can agree." said the colonel.

"Stop detonating thermite." Zhao Gao said.

"It can't be." The old man shook his head.

"Then I'll kill you." Zhao Gao opened the pistol's safety.

"If you kill me, I won't solve the problem." The old man shook his head, "I have to be responsible for the lives of more than a hundred people in the academy, and I will do whatever it takes to protect most of them." ”

Zhao Gao was silent for a moment, "Give them twenty minutes." ”

"Zhao Gao, be sensible! We'd love to save them, but it's impossible! The middle-aged man was anxious, "Now there is a marauder in the sewer, and it is impossible to escape in twenty minutes!" ”

"Do you know what I hate about you the most?" Zhao Gao glanced at him coldly, "It's this righteous and awe-inspiring face, saying that he wants to save the whole world and push the innocent off the cliff under the guise of the interests of the majority." ”

"Who do you believe?" The old man raised his eyes, "Lu Xun?" Does he deserve your trust? ”

Zhao Gao didn't answer, he raised the muzzle of his gun, "Give them twenty minutes, and I will surrender in twenty minutes." ”
