Chapter 132: The Target of the Attack Appears
A kilogram of TNT explosion can theoretically produce 4.2 million joules of energy, according to the calculation that 1 joule is equal to 0.102 kilograms, the energy released by one kilogram of TNT can move an object of the same weight for 420 kilometers, and the explosion of 20 kilograms of TNT is equivalent to a conventional missile, which is enough to blow up a three-story apartment.
But don't forget, the power of C4 high explosives is multiplied by 1.34 times the base!
So Gu Ji is definitely not joking.
Once the bomber detonates the bomb and blows up the load-bearing wall of the 23-story building, it is very likely to cause the effect of the directional dumping method, causing the collapse of the high-rise building, and then the building with more than a dozen stories will fall to the ground, and I don't know how much death, injury and damage will be caused.
Gu Jixing rushed into the lobby of the office building and climbed over the access control system with one step.
The alarm sounded.
Four or five security guards rushed over to stop him.
"I'm sorry sir, this is an office space, and you are not allowed to enter without a pass or reservation!"
"Sir, please get out of here at once! Otherwise we're going to call the police! β
One of the elderly black security guards seemed to have some professional training, judging from the damage to Gu Ji's shirt, the red blood on his elbows, and the shielding device in his hand, that he might be a dangerous person, he immediately lifted out the police and secretly touched his hand to his waist.
That's regular security.
Instead of shooting directly as soon as they came up to persuade them to leave, as Volut R&D Center did.
"I'm Saflo Barron, evacuate all the people in the office building immediately, there is likely to be a high-explosive bomb hidden on the 23rd floor, and the EOD bomb disposal team of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau will be there soon!"
"What, bomb!?"
"You're Saflo Barron?"
As soon as the words fell, the faces of several security personnel changed suddenly, and the older security guard immediately pulled out the taser stun gun on his waist.
This stuff is very common in the regular blast protection and civilian self-defense of the American police.
It is by firing an electrified "dart" to subdue the target, the gun has a pneumatic magazine filled with nitrogen, after pulling the trigger, the high-pressure nitrogen in the magazine is quickly released, and the two electrodes in the chamber of the gun are launched, with a range of about 7 meters.
After hitting the target, the barb can hook the suspect's clothes, can discharge through 5 centimeters of clothing, and discharges multiple times in 5 seconds, each lasting one millionth of a second, causing the criminal's muscles to spasm and shrink into a ball.
But Gu Ji had already swept his attack with his afterglow.
The moment the other party pulled out the stun gun, he pulled out the Glock 19X.
"Ahh
"Run!"
β¦β¦
The surrounding front desks and passers-by shivered a few times when they saw the pistol screaming, and ran to various buildings around it and hid.
The change came suddenly.
Although the rest of the security guards were panicked, they still took out their stun guns and surrounded Gu Ji with their usual training experience.
"Believe me, if I really wanted to do it, I would never give you a chance to draw a gun!"
When Gu Ji said this, his eyes were always staring at the middle-aged black security guard, and the other party should be the leader of these people.
Somehow.
The black security guard didn't think the young man in front of him was lying.
is obviously a childish baby face that is harmless to humans and animals, but it gives people an indescribable calm and depressed, as if they have been targeted by some fierce thing, and they are uncomfortable.
And the opponent drew his gun extremely quickly, obviously professionally trained.
His eyes changed for two seconds, and the black security guard suddenly spoke:
"I need to ask the police for confirmation!"
"Yes, but it's too late, I'm going to go to the 23rd floor to check it out now, and you have to evacuate the crowd of the building as soon as possible!!"
Gu Ji saw that the hostility of the other party's pupils was lost, so he took the initiative to put down the muzzle of the gun first, but his fingers never left the board machine.
Perhaps it was this behavior that gave him points.
After the black security guard arranged for one of his subordinates to be responsible for calling the police, he and another of his subordinates took Gu Ji into the elevator.
After reaching the 23rd floor.
The words "Fuen Capital" are written on the glass door at the door, which should be a fund investment company.
The automatic door opened, and a young and beautiful blonde female secretary at the front desk immediately got up and looked at Gu Ji and the three of them with a smile: "What ...... do you have?"
Didn't wait for him to finish.
Gu Ji took a big step and jumped directly onto the front desk.
"Ahh
"What are you going to do! Security! Security! β
β¦β¦
The female secretary at the front desk covered her mouth and screamed, and hurriedly hid to the side, while the analysts, researchers and other staff in the office area also passively attracted the probe to look over.
Under the nervousness of the crowd.
Gu Ji successfully removed the grille of the air outlet of the building's fresh air system located in the corner, and according to the position of the computer's explosives detonation diagram, he reached out and touched it, and really touched a mass of items the size of half a fist.
The black security guard naturally saw a yellow object flashing red, and he, who had served in the police department, naturally recognized it at a glance, this was the C4 plastic bomb!
"Security room, security room, all staff immediately go to the 23rd floor of the building to evacuate the crowd!"
"It's not 23 floors, it's the whole building, it's just a dispensing of explosives, and the real main explosives are at least 20 kilograms."
When Gu Ji said this number.
The black security guard nearly fell headlong.
They had long heard about the bombing in New York today, so they deliberately strengthened security at all levels in the lobby, underground parking lot and other areas, but they never expected that this terrorist attack would still befall them.
He hurriedly pressed the walkie-talkie on his chest:
"Command Center! Command Center! I'm Charis, a large number of C4 plastic explosives were found on the 23rd floor of the office building, and the alarm bell was immediately sounded to broadcast the evacuation of the crowd in the building, be fast! β
"Where is your person in charge, have you seen a large suspicious object in the manager-level office these days!"
Gu Ji grabbed the blonde female secretary on the side and asked for key information.
The female secretary was probably frightened by the scene in front of her, and it took a while to react, "The person in charge is in the innermost office, and the suspicious object is ...... I don't know, but the company has been decorating these days, and a lot of workers have come to carry some office furniture and the like. β
That's right.
According to the distribution of explosives in the computer building drawing, the 20-kilogram explosives were left in the office in a daze, and he thought at first that the drawings were wrong, or that the terrorists did not want to leak the core location.
Now it seems that the bomber disguised himself as a renovation worker and hid the main bomb in a cardboard box of office furniture and placed it in the office of the target target.
That's why.
That's why they're so blatantly loading bombs in office companies full of surveillance probes.
At this time, a delicate middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with oily hair walked quickly, looking Gu Ji and the security personnel up and down.
"I'm Stephen, head of investment research at Fuen Capital, what's going on?"
"Take me to the renovated office in the east side of the company immediately!"
Gu Ji didn't bother to explain anymore, and directly opened his mouth to order, with an unquestionable tone in his words.
The blonde female secretary on the side hurriedly told her about the bomb.
Stephen's eyes widened.
"The East End is in the renovated office...... It's Laurald, the manager of the trading department, I'll take you there, Roy, and evacuate all the staff immediately! β
I have to say that being able to serve as a senior at the level of department head of an investment company also has a certain ability, at least in terms of calming down things, it is much better than ordinary people.
Soon, Gu Ji came to the first office in the eastern district.
On the wooden door of the doorway is a white nameplate that reads: Rauld Mittal, Trading Manager of the Investment Research Department.
Gu Ji always felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that Saeva, who surprised Gillian, also had the surname Mittal!
Vaguely, he felt as if he had grasped something.
Director Stephen knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside, and a researcher in the Outer Office immediately stood up and said:
"Director, the manager has left."
"Left? When? β
"Just now, it seems that I left with the workers......"
Bang!
Without waiting for the researcher to finish, Gu Ji didn't say a word, and kicked the door open, the room had just been renovated, only a desk and bookcase, and nothing else.
"Where's the stuff in the office?"
"It should have been moved, three or four minutes ago I seemed to see two workers in blue overalls using a cart to remove a large wooden box......"
"Challis, seal off the underground parking lot now! As soon as the suspect took the target hostage and left the company, everyone immediately left the 23rd floor and took the fire staircase according to the emergency exit route, which was about to explode! β
Gu Ji yelled as he quickly ran towards the fire elevator outside the company.
As soon as this sentence was shouted, all the employees fled in a panic, and they didn't even have time to pack up their belongings on the table.
When the black security guard Challus heard the shouting, he also hurriedly pressed the walkie-talkie to notify his colleagues to intercept him.
But what he didn't expect was.
Just when my colleague had just answered half a sentence, a series of "da-da-da" gunshots came from the walkie-talkie, and the number of dead and injured in the lower right corner of Gu Ji's line of sight instantly increased!
Oops!
Bombardiers need to force their hands!
He immediately turned around and shouted at the top of his throat:
"Run, those who exit! The rest of the people immediately look for cover, find cover!! β
Bang!
In just a moment, the ceiling of the shed suddenly burst into flames, and the flying debris and violent explosion destroyed all the computers and teacups in the office area.
"Ahββ!h
Although Gu Ji had already given thousands of instructions, there was still one person who didn't have time to dodge, and was stabbed in the abdomen by the fragments of the explosion, and lay on the ground screaming.
[Current casualty number: 11/15]
"Call an ambulance immediately, the on-site personnel evacuate as soon as possible, who knows what car Laurd is driving!"
"Black BMW X5."
The blonde female secretary brushed her messy hair.
Gu Ji didn't have time to pay attention to the situation at the scene, as long as the main bomb was not there, the secondary bomb was not enough to blow up the building.
After asking for the information he wanted, he jumped to the 22nd floor of the staircase in a blink of an eye.
Because after the explosion, according to the safety mechanism of special equipment, all elevators will instantly trigger the safety lock to stop in place to ensure the safety of passengers in the elevator, so he shouted "fire elevator" instead of elevator for the first time.
With the bonus of the Blue Speed Mark.
Gu Ji's feet are windy, the pace is simple but surprisingly fast, the arms are wrapped around, and the legs are stepped and fallen, and they are out of a layer of height, which is comparable to Jackie Chan and parkour players.
And just when he reached the 17th floor of the building.
Suddenly there was a phone vibrating in his pocket.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from Gillian, and the live broadcast room had been running in the background.
[The anchor said a word! γ
[Who knows where to see the live broadcast screen!] γ
γit!γ It's exploded again, is the anchor okay? γ
[Now that the anchor can finally cooperate with the police, don't run away from the terrorists, surrender immediately and at least leave a dog's life!] γ
[20 kilograms of explosives, is this to blow up the office building to the sky?] γ
[There is a reason why there are few foreigners, and it is too dangerous, a world-class financial metropolis can have terrorist attacks at every turn, or it is better to be domestic! γ
β¦β¦
With the fermentation of public opinion about the terrorist attack, nearly 100,000 people watched the live broadcast room online, and Gu Ji directly turned off the live broadcast software and connected the phone.
"I'm Gillian, why did there be an explosion at Building 24 in Midtown?"
"The suspect I killed made the accomplices change their plans, just now they hijacked Rauld Mittal, the trading manager of Fuen Capital, and detonated the secondary bomb in advance, and the suspect temporarily revealed two people, dressed in blue overalls and carrying assault rifles, and forcibly broke into the underground parking lot to set up a card, so that the air reconnaissance unit could pay attention to the cargo vehicle or the black BMW X5 car!"
After saying the details in one breath, Gu Ji hung up the phone and continued to speed up.
Two minutes later, he finally ran out of the office building.
Many onlookers gathered around the road, and everyone looked up at the upper floor of Building 24, where the glass curtain wall of the outer layer of the 23rd floor that was hit by the explosion was all shattered, and blue-gray smoke continued to rise outward.
Gu Ji squeezed through the crowd and glanced at the location of the police helicopter in the sky.
West side orientation.
So he took a big stride directly, and the quadriceps, hip flexors, gastrocnemius, and calf muscles in both legs twisted and contracted at the same time, cooperating with the bones, like a hydraulic rod, and rushing towards the target like thunder.
The streets of downtown Manhattan are crowded.
At this time, driving is not as fast as running.
At this moment, the bloody countdown in the upper right corner is less than three hours left, and the number of casualties is only 4 people.
It can be said that this is the closest Gu Ji has come to failing the level.
A strong sense of crisis forced him to do his best, and finally, there was a violent crash at the intersection ahead, as if there was a traffic accident.
Gu Ji immediately noticed that a black BMW X5 ran a red light, the engine roared, and it rammed forward.
That direction is......
Times Square!
Times Square is the busiest neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, known as the "Crossroads of the World", due to its high popularity, there are nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters nearby, and many news media outlets in the world, including ABC, have studios and news centers in Times Square.
And this is not the first time that Times Square has been "connected" to a terrorist attack.
5.1 attempted car bomb attack;
the May 8 shooting;
4.100,000 people fled.
There is no doubt that any terrorist attack in Times Square will cause a sensation throughout the United States!
