Well, this talent is going to be upgraded.

At this time, Ashley asked with a smile on her face, "Motherland, do you have a candidate?" ”

Azu let out an 'oh' and looked at the tablet.

"Just her."

He handed the tablet to Ashley, "Candidate for the deep, elemental, you can arrange a time for her to come to see me with the Ice Princess." ”

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll contact her right away." ”

At this moment, Azu's eyes lit up, and some information appeared on the retina.

[Disaster events occur.] 】

[Are you willing to deal with this incident?] 】

After Azu chooses to accept, new information expands.

You have accepted the incident. 】

[Event Name: Rise of the Night Kingdom. Starfire】

[Description: The extremist group 'Dark Night Council' has once again launched an operation, and so far, they have taken control of the third to fifth floors of the Walmart department store, taking a total of 756 hostages.] Their power is vulnerable to you, but a spark can also start a prairie fire, so don't take it lightly. 】

[Event requirements: 1. Rescue more than half of the hostages; 2. Kill Gandy, the mastermind of the operation. Alda. 】

【Event begins!】 】

As the message vanished, the alarm in the lobby went off, and then a TV screen appeared as the head of public relations, Raven. Nora's figure.

"Motherland, the city police headquarters requests our assistance."

Looking at the woman who had slept with him a few times, Azu smiled and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"This morning, the Walmart department store was invaded by extremists, who claimed to have planted a gas bomb in the mall, which can kill everyone in the mall within 5 minutes after detonation."

"The extremist group, which calls itself the 'Dark Night Council,' is demanding the release of two serious prisoners held in the Luxes Island jail, where the third and fifth floors of Woma are now controlled by the extremist group."

"They have a total of 756 hostages, including mall executives, staff, security personnel, etc."

"At present, the city police headquarters has sent 100 police officers to surround the mall and actively negotiate with the extremists, but with little effect."

"Now, the Queens Police Commissioner in charge of the incident, Ben Murphy. Benjamin has arrived at the scene. ”

Azu nodded, stood up, and looked at Maeve and the others: "Let's go." ”

Starlight was eager to try: "Motherland, can I go together." ”

Azu thought for a moment and smiled, "Yes, but you have to be with the police." ”

"You need to comfort the gentlemen for me and give them confidence in us."

Starlight clenched her fist, "Wrap it up on me!" ”

Queens, Walmart Department Store.

Azu held Maeve floating in the air, the wind raised Maeve's long hair, Azu took a deep breath: "It's so fragrant, what brand of shampoo do you use?" ”

Maeve looked helpless: "Do we have to discuss daily necessities at this time?" ”

Azuhaha laughed, then his eyes lit up and he scanned the interior of the department store: "There are two entrances to the rooftop staircase, holding AK47 rifles and carrying grenades. ”

"There are quite a few hostages in the furniture area on the fifth floor, and there are twelve armed guards, all armed."

"Well, there are snipers nearby, and if you rush in through the window, you will be shot into a sieve."

"Do you really not have time at night?"

Maeve rolled her eyes slightly, "Let's get this done, and then discuss the date, what do you think?" ”

"Yes." Azu smiled and pressed the earphones, "Xuanse, I want you to appear at the main entrance of the mall, create pressure on the guys on there, and create opportunities for the police gentlemen to negotiate." ”

"Starlight, let the police gentlemen delay as much time as possible, and Queen Maeve and I will find a way to rescue the hostages."

After all that's said.

Azu looked at the female companion beside him: "What do you have in mind?" ”

Maeve narrowed her eyes slightly: "It's not difficult to subdue the gangsters, the key is that gas bomb." ”

"If we can find the bomb first and defuse it, it will be much easier."

"I can scan the entire mall, but it takes a little time," Azu said. ”

Maeve reminded him, "Maybe there's more than one bomb. ”

Azu nodded, then carried Maeve around to the fifth floor of the mall, and slipped through a window in the children's playground area.

It's being renovated and it's still open for business, and there is no one left.

The 'Night Council' is nowhere near as manpower as it can control the entire mall, all corners.

Therefore, they gathered the hostages on all floors and guarded them on the 5th and 4th floors, respectively.

Then the other corners are monitored by the mall's surveillance system.

In the scan just now, Azu had already determined that the surveillance was still installed here, so he was relieved to invade from here with Maeve.

"Let's split up." Maeve said.

Azu patted her bouncy buttocks: "Go ahead." ”

Maeve glared at him, but said nothing, and hurried towards the gate.

Azu pressed the headphones: "Xuanse, you can act." ”

Meanwhile.

Outside the gate of the mall, the police separated on both sides, and Xuanse, dressed in black, walked out.

He raised his hands to show that he was not hostile.

Next to him, a negotiator held a microphone: "Listen, the people inside, Xuan Se has come, and you have attracted the attention of the group of seven." ”

"If I were you, accept the conditions put forward by the police."

The negotiator was answered by a bullet that hit the ground, and then the radio in the mall sounded: "Less nonsense, do what we say." ”

"Release our comrade Rune immediately. Kate, otherwise, every 10 minutes, we're going to kill a hostage. ”

"This is the first one!"

A scream followed, and someone was pushed off the 5th floor and thrown to the ground.

"Oh my God."

Queens Police Chief Ben over 40 years old. Benjamin kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and then looked at a young girl next to him: "Will the motherland really rescue the hostages?" ”

Starlight nodded affirmatively, "Please believe that the Seven, Mr. Director, the Motherland and Queen Maeve have already made the move!" ”

"I believe they have infiltrated the mall now, waiting for an opportunity to rescue the hostages."
