Chapter 136: The Killer (3)
There are still five minutes left before the thermite ignites. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are four minutes and fifty-nine seconds left.
Four minutes and fifty-eight seconds remaining.
Zhao Gao subconsciously clenched the handle of the pistol, his palm was a little slippery by sweat, his heartbeat was already synchronized with the number of seconds, Zhao Gao silently counted his heartbeat, and every time he beat a second, the probability of Lu Xun and their survival was reduced by one point.
Contact had been cut off for fifteen minutes, and there was silence from no one in the channel, and the background was the unchanging and undulating noise of flat electricity for thousands of years, as if everyone was consciously keeping the radio silent, and the heavy atmosphere weighed down everyone's breath.
The Executive Department has completely lost all hope for the survival of the three people, the triple obstacle of killers, predators and thermobaric bombs, this is a certain death, unless a miracle happens, it is impossible for Anna and Phoebe to escape.
Their survival rate is less than one percent.
That is, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that those three young men are now dead...... The retired soldiers of the executive department turned their heads to look at Zhao Gao who was sitting in the chair, the latter was expressionless and motionless, not knowing what he was thinking, they didn't know why this young man insisted on pinning his hopes on the slim possibility of less than one percent, and even pointed a gun at the colonel's head to threaten him to sit down and negotiate.
What was it that sustained him in making such an outrageous and bold decision?
The members of the executive department recalled the days when this young man was arrogant and powerful, and the strong men were actually very familiar with Zhao Gao...... This is why no one tried to resist Zhao Gao, although all of them were former members of the Rangers, Navy SEALs and Delta, many of whom even had experience in counter-hijacking and could subdue heavily armed terrorists in three seconds with their bare hands, no one thought of going up and snatching Zhao Gao's pistol.
Because they don't dare.
The seven or eight strong men with big shoulders and round waists present were subdued by a young man with a pistol, and they couldn't even have the slightest intention of resisting, which was like a group of soldiers who ran into their old squad leader when they were in the new barracks when they were committing crimes and breaking the law.
Zhao Gao is the old squad leader.
His former title was "Director of the Special Mission Implementation Department of the Security Zone of the Shanghai Naval Military Academy", in other words, all the members of the Executive Department and the members of the hummingbird hunting team present were his old subordinates.
Compared to Colonel Sean, this young man is the one who has the greatest deterrent effect on the thugs in the Executive Department.

Ariana had never been so embarrassed, her cape soaking wet, panting for her life in the dark, damp underground.
There are still three minutes left before the thermite ignites.
Ariana didn't know if she could escape, but this opportunity was exchanged for her life by that idiot assistant, Lu Xun sacrificed herself to buy them time, if she didn't do her best, she would be sorry for the stupid boy who liked to be heroes, Anna didn't even dare to think about what happened to Lu Xun now, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to run if she thought about it.
After everything is settled, you can bring a glass of wine to his tombstone, talk about the past, talk about the future, talk about life, talk about the world, you can smile and cry loudly, but on the battlefield, when your comrade falls, you step on his corpse and move forward!
Otherwise he would have died in vain.
There's no point in staying where you are, either you turn around and run away to save your life, or you pull out the gun from your back and jump out with him.
According to Ariana's temperament, she would probably choose the second path, but she couldn't do that because she was still holding Phoebe...... She couldn't let Phoebe die here with her.
Phoebe was still feverish, her face was red, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she was unconscious and breathing weakly.
Without a doctor, Phoebe wouldn't have lasted long.
Anna gasped, suddenly tripped over a thick water pipe under her feet, and suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground, the whole person slapped flat on the ground, the night vision device was thrown out of the way, and the girl in her arms also fell out and rolled to the ground.
Ariana slowly got up, gritted her teeth and held back her tears, although she was arrogant and stubborn by nature, she was still a twenty-three-year-old young girl, and now the whole world seemed to be against her, even a broken water pipe came to stop her, grief and grievances came up together, and she suddenly couldn't hold back her tears.
Ariana picked Phoebe up, scarlet blood running down the girl's silver-white hairline, sliding across the corners of her eyes, cheeks, and chin, and her head hit the stone.
Phoebe ...... Let's go ......."
The girl did not pick up the night vision device and staggered into the darkness.
Thirty seconds were left before the thermite ignited.
The middle-aged man was restless, and in the end there was only half a minute left, and the three of them had not heard from him until now...... It is almost certain that they are dead.
Zhao Gao put the pistol on the table, raised his head to look up at the dark sky, and took a deep breath.
"Thermite preparation-" The Executive Department began to enter the detonation process, "the countdown begins!" ”
Zhao Gao didn't move, he didn't try to block the plan of the executive department again, he had no reason to stop in front of the colonel, Zhao Gao couldn't really risk the lives of more than a hundred people in the academy.
There is no room for negotiation and waiting...... He could only watch as time progressed by second, leading to a predictably tragic end.
"Thirty!"
"Twenty-nine!"
"Twenty-eight!"
The Heavy Storming Mech took a step forward, standing on the edge of the thermite burning position, and then slowly raised its hands, the thermobaric bomb hung directly above the warehouse, and once the thermite burned through the steel plate, it dropped the bomb.
Ariana has no strength, she has squeezed out all the strength of her body, the two girls are stepping out of the edge of the bomb explosion, although at this distance, the high temperature is difficult to hurt them again, but the thermobaric bomb will evacuate all the oxygen underground and produce a strong negative pressure when it explodes, and it is difficult for the weak Phoebe to withstand such an injury.
They had to go back to the surface.
"Ten!"
Ariana fumbled in the darkness to the ladder under the manhole cover, and they were finally about to escape...... Fortunately, the marauder did not catch up, and it seems that Lu Xun's blocking still has an effect.
"Nine!"
The middle-aged man reached out and put his hand on the detonation button, it was already the last ten seconds, and the three of them had no chance of survival...... After this battle, there should be three more tombstones in the cemetery behind the academy.
Everyone was silent.
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
"Six!"
The girl pushed the manhole cover open with her shoulder, pushed Phoebe out, then reached out and pressed the headphones, paused slightly, and shouted with all the strength of her body: "Detonate!"
At that moment, Ariana suddenly understood why Lu Xun kept the headphones for herself when she was in the warehouse...... It turned out that he never wanted to come out alive from beginning to end.
Ariana finally exhausted all her strength, she slowly took off her headphones in a daze, only feeling so tired and tired.
In the last five seconds, the girl's voice exploded in the channel.
Everyone was stunned.
The middle-aged man jumped up like an electric shock.
"Anna?!" Colonel Sean raised his head suddenly, no one knew how this girl broke through the limit and escaped, it stands to reason that they would not survive at all!
"Doctor, doctor, doctor, what the fuck is the doctor?" The middle-aged man danced and roared in the clearing.
Four!
Three!
"Thermite!" Zhao Gao reminded.
Two!
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, mether!" The middle-aged man turned around and slapped on the detonation button, "Detonate for me!" ”
One!
The dazzling white light instantly collapsed, piercing the surrounding darkness like a sword, and a meter-high pillar of light jumped up from the flat ground, and everyone turned their heads in unison, it was the light of magnesium burning, as dazzling as electric welding, and then the molten red molten iron spewed out, like a volcanic eruption of lava rising into the sky!
There was a loud bang, and the sound of metal breaking and collapsing sounded, and the roof of the warehouse was finally broken!
Ariana sat on the ground in a daze, the dazzling light in the distance was like the rising sun, the dawn light illuminated the girl's face, she did not move, the medical staff who hurried to catch up carried the two girls on the stretcher, while doing an urgent examination, Ariana was covered with scars and tattered clothes.
But she felt that the sounds around her were so far away...... The girl stared in amazement at the red light rising into the sky in the distance, and she knew that she would never see that stupid assistant again in her life.
