Chapter 17: The Trap, the Breakaway
After a day's rest, it was not until night fell that everyone slowly woke up in their sleep.
Originally, it was agreed that the candidates for the exchange were Shen Mu, Rom and Gao, but when it was time to leave, Amos insisted on going together no matter what.
Kelly had dissuaded Amos because of his injuries, but unfortunately it was useless, and in desperation, she could only watch Amos drag his injured body and get into the car with Shen Mu with his weapons.
There was silence along the way, Gao was responsible for driving, and Amos was only concerned with silently wiping and adjusting the firearm.
After driving for an hour in the dark of night, I finally came to the door of the city hall slowly.
Pulling the car door open and getting out of the car, Amos and Gao are wearing half-worn black trench coats, and their firearms are hidden inside the trench coats. Although neither side in the city government dares to act rashly, it is also necessary to be prepared.
At night, except for a few rooms where the lights are on, the rest of the city hall is already dark.
In the guard room, a middle-aged guard was lying on the table playing with his mobile phone, and he glanced at Shen Mu and the others, but he was not surprised at all.
Shen Mu and the others gradually approached, followed by Professor Vincent, who was a little uneasy, and when they walked to the door, Amos and the others hesitated for a moment and looked at the person in the guard room. Then, I saw the middle-aged guard pick up the walkie-talkie on the table, press the switch, and say in a calm voice: "They're here!" ”
Another lackey of the vampire clan!
Amos snorted coldly and stepped inside.
In the compound of the city government, several dark figures stood still, and Amos and the others walked over and clearly saw their faces by the moonlight. One of them was Frank, who had taken Chrissy away at the bar, and the other two tall men with Chriss's arms behind them, although they didn't know each other, could tell from their calm, calm eyes that they were also the elite of the vampire clan.
"Chrissy!" Amos glanced at Chrissy, whose hands and feet were tied and her mouth was gagged, breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was not free, it seemed that Chrissy was not tortured at least from the way she struggled.
When Chrissy saw Amos and them coming, her struggle became more and more intense, but the two vampires around her were dragging her to death, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape.
Frank still had the same calm face, expressionless, as hard as a stone: "Professor Vincent, we've been waiting here for a long time. ”
Amos subconsciously glanced back at Professor Vincent, who was standing behind him, and found that although he was a little nervous, he was still calm, so he said to Frank: "The exchange of hostages should be fair, I don't want accidents." ”
"Rest assured, no one wants to see the unexpected happen tonight." Frank said affirmatively, and then looked at Shen Mu with a wary look.
Shen Mu glanced at him, stretched out his fingers, and made a false scratch on his neck, making a threatening gesture of cutting his throat.
Frank frowned slightly, didn't speak, just waved his hand, and the two vampires behind him escorted Chrissy forward.
Amos also reached out and grabbed Professor Vinson's arm, his fingers clenching slightly, suggesting that he didn't need to worry.
In front of everyone, the two vampires let go of Chrissy, and Amos let go of Professor Vincent's arm. The two of them walked slowly towards the opposite camp.
When Chrissy walked up to Amos, Amos stepped forward quickly, took out a small dagger, cut the rope on Chriss's body, and then took out the cloth in his mouth, and asked worriedly, "How is it?" Is there something wrong? ”
Chrissy breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head, and looked back worriedly at Professor Vincent, who was being controlled by the vampire.
"Happy trading!"
Frank stepped forward and blocked Professor Vinson behind him, and a smug smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
Shen Mu looked at Frank's smile and had a bad premonition in his heart.
The sudden ringing of the phone made Amos stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at the call prompt, and frowned.
After pressing the answer button, Amos put the phone to his ear, and after a while, his face became gloomy, and he slammed the phone to the ground, and roared viciously: "Bastard, you actually robbed Professor Vincent's laboratory!" ”
When Shen Mu and Roma heard this, their hearts jumped.
"What's going on?" Shen Mu's face also became gloomy.
Kelly called and said that Professor Vinson's lab had just been stormed by a group of men in black and had looted all the materials. The police guarding the research room killed four people and seriously injured six! Amos said in a hoarse voice.
Amos's voice was not deliberately lowered, so that they could clearly hear what was being said in Frank, who was not far away.
I saw the corners of Frank's mouth hooked, with a sneer, and then quickly retracted, recovering that somewhat stiff expression: "Why are you looking at me with such a look?" It wasn't our people who robbed the lab, it was ...... You guys! ”
"Fart!" Röm stood aside and cursed.
Frank waved his hand, not caring about Rom's insults, but with a smug expression: "No one cares what the truth is, as long as it is officially determined that you are the one who did the robbery, then it is you...... Unfortunately, we can do that. ”
Syllable!
Frank snapped his fingers, and in the next moment, several large searchlights that had been placed in advance suddenly lit up in the originally dark and quiet city hall, illuminating everything in front of the city hall clearly.
Two groups of heavily armed men with guns rushed out from behind the walls on both sides, and dozens of armed men surrounded Amos.
"Not only did you rob the lab and kill the police, but you also kidnapped Professor Vincent...... The charges are not ordinary, and if you dare to resist, these people have the right to shoot you on the spot! Frank looked at Amos and said in a cold tone.
Amos and Gao's faces were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were frightened, and they subconsciously wanted to pull out their guns to fight back, but after hearing Frank's words, they looked carefully and found that these armed men who rushed out turned out to be SWAT teams, and the fingers that had touched the guns suddenly became stiff.
Professor Vincent stood behind Frank and wanted to speak out when he saw this scene, perhaps trying to explain something to the SWAT team, but Frank silently took out his phone from his arms and put the screen in front of Professor Vincent's eyes.
For a moment, Professor Vincent seemed to freeze, his expression was sluggish, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and finally he sighed and stood there like a puppet.
"Lay down your arms!"
"Lay down your weapons and put your hands on your head!"
The SWAT team surrounded Shen Mu and Amos and scolded them sharply.
Everything has been figured out.
They originally thought that the exchange location in the city hall would have a certain binding effect on both parties, but they did not expect that the infiltration of the vampire clan into human society was far beyond their imagination. Not only did they forcibly steal the research materials while they were trading, but they even planted it all on their heads.
But what if they had access to Professor Vincent's research materials? Professor Vincennes knew very well what was going on, and said that he would never continue his research on behalf of the vampires, and that he could even prove their innocence as a witness.
However, when Shen Mu saw Professor Vincent standing there with a dull expression, his heart suddenly sank, knowing that the vampire clan must have found some kind of way to control him.
One son is wrong, and the whole game is lost!
Tonight's plan was a trap from the start, a trap to catch them all!
Moreover, the power used still comes from the human government, and there is no need for the vampire clan to pay any price.
Should I say that Taylor is too clever? Or are they too careless?
Shen Mu just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh at this time, laughing at their own naïve thoughts before.
Several SWAT team members cautiously stepped forward, searched out all the weapons on Amos and Gao's bodies, and then tied their hands behind their backs, while Shen Mu and Roma's bodies were not visible from the outside at all because the weapons were in a flat device.
Frank saw that they were tied up and captured, so he led the two behind him and turned away with Professor Vincent. From beginning to end, Professor Vinson kept his head down and was so obedient that it was impossible to understand what was going on.
"Hey, Shen Mu, are you just watching them take Professor Vincent away?" Rom and Shen Mu stood together, their heads pressed against several pitch-black barrels, but there was no nervous look on their faces.
"What else else can I do?" Shen Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over the SWAT players around him and said.
"It's kind of ...... It's so aggrieved! Röhm pouted.
As soon as the words fell, several more SWAT members rushed over, grabbed everyone's joints, and directly pressed them to the ground.
"Chrissy, where were you locked up by them?" Shen Mu squatted aside, looked at Chrissy in a low voice and asked.
Chrissy was stunned for a moment, her face was thoughtful, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: "I've been blindfolded, so I can't say clearly, but it's definitely not a suburb, because the surroundings are quiet...... By the way, there are a lot of people walking around, and there is a sound of conversation, like a research room or a company or something. ”
"The research room? Firm? ”
Shen Mu thought about it, but he didn't have any clue.
"There are too many places like this, can't you give some accurate hints?" Rohm was on the side, and said helplessly.
"I can't tell, I was stuffed into a car and taken away, and the journey should have taken no more than half an hour...... It's quiet along the way, but it should be a business area during the day! Chrissy whispered.
"The business district? What evidence do you have? Shen Mu was stunned for a moment and continued to ask.
"There was no evidence because I couldn't see anything at the time, it was just my gut feeling!" Chrissy said with her head down.
Gao whispered to the side at this time: "I trust Chrissy's instincts, after she came to San Francisco, she walked through all the streets, if she said it was a business district, I believed her!" ”
"Shut them all up and take them all away!" One of the SWAT members jerked his gun up and slammed it into Gao's head, blood pouring down.
The SWAT members around set them all up, and then several bulletproof SWAT vehicles drove in from the outside, moving quickly and quietly.
Amos had injuries on his body, and he was somewhat rudely erected by the SWAT members, and the wounds on his body were faintly painful, but he gritted his teeth, ignored the muzzles of the guns pointed at them around him, and suddenly said: "Shen Mu, Roma...... Professor Vincennes must not be allowed to fall into their hands, and the professor must be rescued. ”
"Shut up!" Another SWAT member raised his gun and smashed it on Amos's body, and a sharp pain hit him, causing Amos to shut his mouth.
"Business district...... Downtown...... Firm? ”
Shen Mu muttered in a low voice, as if a veil was still covering his eyes, and the next moment, Shen Mu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and his face showed a sudden look: "So that's the case, their headquarters is in a company in the business district?" ”
"Roma!" Shen Mu opened his mouth and shouted.
Rom squinted at him and chuckled, "Finally don't have to endure it anymore?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Shen Mu's hands struggled, and the restrained wrists were suddenly separated, and the SWAT members on both sides were violently knocked out by Shen Mu before they could react. Then he quickly drew his two-handed greatsword, and with a swing of the blade, he severed the strap that bound Rom's wrist.
Röm regained his freedom, flipped his hands, and two flat pistols fell into his hands, and without looking, he waved them around, and several SWAT members were shot through their arms and thighs before they even had a chance to fight back, and instantly fell to the ground wailing.
