Chapter 23: The Two Who Survived the Catastrophe

04/02, Lunar Day.

At 10:48 a.m., the Heisei Express stopped at the platform, and the platform announcement sounded at this time.

"The Heisei Limited Express on the second platform is about to start, so if you haven't boarded the bus yet, please get on the bus immediately. Broadcast again, the ...... on the second platform

At this time, inside the Heisei Express, a man with glasses in an orange sweater took a copy of the vehicle's introduction book from the dining car and paced back to the front seating area of the No. 1 car observation seat.

The two little boys, who looked to be only six or seven years old, said with milk in their milks: "Dad, if you don't sit down well, you're going to drive!" ”

"Haha, okay, Daddy knows."

The short-haired woman in the dark green dress also showed a gentle smile and said softly: "Xiao Ren and Xiao Xin, you also have to obediently hold on to the handle, and you must be polite if you don't make loud noises." ”

"Okay!"

Realizing that their volume was a little loud, the two little boys hurriedly covered their mouths, looked left and right cautiously, and then showed a simple smile and said in a breathy voice: "... Okay, Mom. ”

"What a good boy."

The man in black and sunglasses, who was a few places away from their seats, took out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket, and he lowered his voice and whispered: "This is Suzuno, yes, it went well, and he was sitting at the front of the observation seat of car No. 1." ”

The staff member standing on the platform looked at the time displayed on his watch, and after confirming that it was 10:50, he held a whistle in his left hand and a flag in his right, and held the flag high at the same time as the whistle sounded, indicating that the train was about to depart.

At the same time, on the other side of the open field, Ritsu Sasashima in a black suit easily boarded the back seat of the helicopter with long legs, and he opened the iron box in his hand and began to assemble the black Thunder Noboon 700PSS police sniper rifle.

"Are you really okay?" Yuna Hayasaka, who was sitting in the front row, was still a little skeptical, she really didn't need SAT snipers, and she didn't think Akazawa would be able to complete sniping in a helicopter.

"Don't worry, the sniping level of the SAT may not be as good as mine." After Ritsu Sasashima installed the silencer, he saw that this gun with magazine-type ammunition was completely different from the one he was using now.

The pilot piloting the police helicopter couldn't help but say: "Onizawa Police Department, the front is the Guanyue Line." ”

Yuna Hayasaka, who originally wanted to complain, had to swallow her words back, her pretty face was full of seriousness, and she instructed: "Well, now follow the railway to the north, and maintain the flight altitude." ”

"Understood!"

Helicopters flew overhead, following closely the Heisei Express below. Yuna Hayasaka turned her head and asked, "There are still 3 minutes until 11 o'clock, do you need to lower the height?" ”

Ritsu Sasashima had been watching the surroundings to find the most suitable spot for sniping, and based on the height and distance they had practiced shooting earlier, they should be able to see it right away.

"You don't need to lower it, and I'm sorry to keep you quiet."

He didn't want anyone to interrupt his thoughts, so his tone sounded a little stiff. Yuna Hayasaka obediently closed her mouth, and sure enough, he would only maintain such a serious and calm state in the process of handling the case.

On the rooftop of a certain building, the kidnapped Hiroshi Yamabe was holding the same sniper rifle, and he hesitated with a hint of hope in his heart, if the group of children could crack the code, or maybe they found the calculator and handed it to the police... He didn't have to pull the trigger.

Sensing his hesitation, the black-clothed man with an awl face indifferently raised the revolver in his hand and threatened: "You know, if you dare to play any tricks, your woman will die." ”

Koichi Yamabe looked back at Eri Onodera, who was kneeling on the ground, his hands tied with hemp rope and tape on his mouth, and he couldn't bear to see his girlfriend shot by ruthless gangsters.

Even if it was a condemnation of conscience, Koichi Yamabe had to grit his teeth and set up the sniper rifle in his hand and aim at the pre-set position, he could clearly hear his heartbeat and feel the sweat dripping from his forehead...

It's not the nervousness, it's the fear of knowing that you're about to commit an irreparable sin.

He narrowed his left eye, and when the sight of a family of four clearly appeared in the scope, Koichi Yamabe hesitated.

The wife sitting next to the target Xintang Haruma is pouring him tea with a thermos cup with a gentle face, and the two little boys lying on the window are whispering something, probably looking forward to a family trip after arriving at the station.

To shoot mercilessly in front of his family... The Adam's apple rolled, and Koichi Yamabe gritted his teeth and struggled incomparably in his heart.

He is a cop who loves the people, and he can't destroy the happiness and beauty he sees in the scope.

A trace of guilt rose in his heart, he knew that if he couldn't fulfill the gangster's request, the result of the harvest would be death, and even his beloved girlfriend would be affected.

I'm sorry, Eri. Forgive me...

Forgive me for my selfishness and make you a hero too. If there is a next life, I will take care of you for the rest of your life.

Seeing that the train had entered the sniper range, Koichi Yamabe pretended to be ready to snipe, and his left eye, which should have been closed, observed the gangsters on his side with his peripheral vision - even if he died, he would take one person away.

And just as he was about to implement the plan, a bullet that shot down from a high altitude cut through the air and hit the wrist of the awl-faced gangster directly, and warm blood sprayed into Koichi Yamabe's face, and he fell into a trance for a while.

The gangsters next to him obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen, and the two gunmen looked into the air at the same time, and it was actually a police helicopter with the Metropolitan Police Department logo printed on it.

They narrowed their eyes and could barely see Onizawa Chong sitting on it with a sniper rifle in his hand, his white hair a little messy by the wind, and even if they didn't look at his expression, they would think that this person was really smiling defiantly at them.

"Ahhh The gangster who was shot by the bullet covered his wrist and said bitterly: "What are you two still doing in a daze, hurry up!! ”

Bang!

The bullet hit again, this time shooting the gangster in a gray suit in the rear, but unfortunately his luck was not very good, obviously aiming at the gun in his hand, who let him move around caused the back of his hand to be directly pierced by the bullet.

"Tsk." Ritsu Sasashima, who was sitting in the helicopter, pursed his lips, put away his sniper rifle and said, "It's time to descend the altitude." ”

"Aren't you going to get rid of another gangster?" Yuna Hayasaka wondered.

Ritsu Sasashima removed the scope and said confidently, "That policeman with hands and feet is not an ornament." ”

Koichi Yamabe, who was relieved, immediately raised the sniper rifle in his hand and threw the butt of the gun at the gangster's face. The hapless gangster fell to the ground unexpectedly, and spit out two knocked-out front teeth before falling unconscious.

Koichi Yamabe dropped the sniper rifle in his hand and hurriedly untied the rope and tape of his girlfriend Eri Onodera, he smiled: "Eri, it's okay, the police came to save us." ”

"Koichi!!"

The feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made the tip of Yamabe's nose a little pantothenic, and he gently patted Eri's back and said slowly: "It's okay, don't be afraid... I'm here. ”

Ritsu Sasashima, who stepped down from the helicopter, rotated the handcuffs with his fingers, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly to look at the warm scene in front of him, sure enough, he liked to save people more than "killing".

"Hayasaka."

"In!"

"Take them all away, and I'll interrogate them myself."

"Roger."
