Chapter 58: The Cross's Plea for Help
A Humvee flew out of the gap in the low wall, and the terrorists in ambush opened fire on the vehicle.
Under the raging firelight, the Humvee did not make any resistance, but the terrorists soon realized that something was wrong, their own firepower was gradually decreasing, and a different kind of gunfire was heard from the gap in the low wall.
Landau grabbed Andy, who wanted to rush in, "Enough! Andy, I've already scouted before, and there's no secret passage here. At the same time, he gestured to the team members and guarded the surroundings.
Andy's soaring adrenaline was contained, and he regained his clarity and stepped aside to ask about the support.
Landau heard that another Navy SEAL had arrived, and immediately arrived at the battlefield.
Andy, who returned to Landau, told everyone to guard the perimeter, nodded to Landau in thanks, and then used the gap to fend off the terrorists who wanted to break through.
The roar of a huge helicopter was heard, and two fighter jets circled around and cruised, and the two gunships that arrived behind dropped their teams around the courtyard.
Looking at the SEALs surrounding him, Landau moved out of the gap and gave up his position to Andy.
Retreating into the shadows, Landau watched Andy talk to the leader of the team, and after a brief chat about the situation, he rushed in with the commandos.
The gunshots and explosions in the small courtyard only lasted for a few minutes, and the gap in tactical literacy was vividly reflected at this moment.
Landau stood at the edge of the low wall, not intending or interested in going in to watch the end of a terrorist leader, when a final gunshot rang out in the silent courtyard.
Watching the commandos drag a masked corpse out, Landau knew that everything had settled.
Landau silently watched Andy get into the helicopter while he returned to New York alone.
By the day before the New Year, the people who handled the treasure had also returned from Europe, and the entire company had returned to New York.
The TV news is still a celebrity scandal broken by the paparazzi, or a country in turmoil, but there is a sentence "The war in Afghanistan should be on the verge of ending".
As the New Year's bell was about to ring, Landau gave a New Year's speech in the box on the second floor of the bar with his glass held high, and then moved out of the way to reveal the hanging TV that had just been installed on the first floor.
"The New Year's bell is about to ring, let's see what good news our new president has..."
Ao Guanhai's speech on TV was very conventional, so routine that it made people sleep, but at the end, he said softly, "The mastermind behind 911 has been killed, and we firmly believe that the new year will be even greater." ”
The bar exploded in an instant, and there was no doubt that the news of killing the lights was the best New Year's gift, and Mike in the box had already celebrated with Robert in his arms.
Landau sat in the corner of the couch, quietly sipping his wine, watching all the employees fall into a carnival and celebrate wildly.
With a crisp clinking of glasses, Fox leaned into Landau's ear: "It seems that you have done a great thing while I am away." ”
Landau didn't admit it, just smiled faintly and said, "The new year will be better." Then he drank the rest of the wine in his glass.
Christian watched Landau leave with Fox, thinking about what role his boss played in this, when Mike came up with a wine glass, "Christian, what are you thinking?" Come, drink! ”
The New Year's bell rings, America falls into a carnival, but Landau confides everything under the torture of Fox in different positions.
The first rays of the morning sun shone into the house, and Landau was long gone in bed.
After making breakfast, Landau gently closed the door and came to the monitoring room, intending to check the situation of the base as usual, but he didn't expect that Christian was already guarding the base in the monitoring room.
"Happy New Year, Christian." Landau closed the door to the surveillance room and greeted Christian in surprise.
Christian stared at the surveillance and replied faintly, "Happy New Year, boss." ”
"You won't be here all night watching, right, there's no need."
Landau stepped forward and put his hand on Christian's shoulder, and the screen was business as usual, nothing happened.
Christian stared at the screen and asked abruptly, "Boss, do we need to do financial statements?" ”
Landau shook his head and patted Christian on the shoulder, "We're not a public company, we need financial statements. Sorting out our wealth and making that money clean is what you have to do. ”
Landau, who had his hand on the doorknob, heard a question from behind, "Is it the boss who did the thing that didn't pull the light?" ”
Landau stood in front of the open door, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, "Who knows?" ”
With his back to Christian, Landau had already stepped out of the room with one foot, and when he heard words of gratitude from behind him, he learned that Christian's mother had died in that disaster.
Landau stepped out of the surveillance room and silently closed the door.
Despite the door, Christian's whispering was detected by Landau.
Standing in front of the door of the surveillance room, Landau hesitated for a moment, and finally turned to leave.
Although the law stipulates that there should be a holiday for the New Year, there is no such thing as a holiday in an obviously special industry, and Landau employees have come to the base one after another.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith were the first to arrive, and they also brought an email to themselves.
John placed the tightly wrapped mail on the table, "This is the bartender found the mail that was sitting in the back of the bar." ”
He took the email from John and looked at it that read "To the Night Voyage".
Landau opened the mail in front of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and it was a tin box that was exactly the same as the last iron box bomb.
Putting his hand on the tin box, Landau didn't feel any sound of the pointer jumping, and the whole tin box was very light and didn't look like it could be loaded with a bomb.
Just in case, Landau still took John to find the instrument to detect whether there were explosives inside.
Once it was confirmed that there were no explosives in the box, the others came to the base to take over Christian to guard the safety of the base.
Landau opened the tin box, and there was only a mobile phone and a business card inside.
After disassembling the phone to confirm that there was no problem, Landau dialed the phone directly at the bar counter.
"Dear Night Voyager, Happy New Year!"
How is the sound of the cross? Does he have any problems to ask me for help, or does he say hello when he knows my identity?
Landau responded immediately: "Happy New Year! Mr. Cross. How are you and Wesley doing right now? ”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Landau was still thinking about how Cross knew his location, when he heard Cross say in a dull voice: "It turned out to be Mr. Landau, Wesley, he was captured, he was captured by the people of Abstergo Industries. ”
When Landau heard the news, he wanted to hang up the phone as soon as he heard it, not wanting to have anything to do with him, let alone facing the Templars right now.
Thinking that his base was already known to him, and he belonged to the monk who could run away from the temple, the ghost made the god ask more: "What happened?" ”
Cross said something that Landau had never expected, and Wesley had taken the initiative to find Abstergo Industries.
"Why?" Landau exclaimed with his phone.
