"Ding!"

As the bell rang again, the elevator finally reached the first floor.

"It's ...... What? ”

The people in the elevator walked out and looked at the hall on the first floor with shocked expressions.

Most of the patients' families and medical staff in the hall were either rubbing their eyes or covering their ears, staggering back and forth, their faces full of pain, and the glass door at the original main entrance was completely shattered into slag, and several people in black were lying outside the door.

Two or three of the men in black were still standing, and when they saw the people coming out of the elevator, they immediately raised their pistols and aimed at them, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone! All standing there! Don't move! ”

Without any desire to resist, under the threat of the pistol, everyone looked at each other, raised their hands obediently, and stood in place.

"Well, this is a terrorist attack, right? Why did you come to the hospital? ”

"Call the police! Get the cops over! ”

"The police didn't come that fast!"

"Ding!"

Another bell sounded, and the elevator door next to it also opened, and a bunch of medical staff pushing stretcher beds also came down inside.

"What's going on?!"

"Stand there! Don't move! ”

"Don't shoot! We're just here to give it away! Don't shoot! ”

Under the threat of the man in black, both groups of people all stood obediently in place, crowded around the elevator.

In the hall, only the sound of wailing could be heard, and one of the black-clothed people at the door asked through the communication headset on his ear:

"What are we going to do next?"

"Maintain the status quo and don't do anything superfluous."

In the family waiting area next to it, Cointreau hid in the crowd, looked coldly at the people who were blocked around the elevator, and replied in a low voice:

"Follow-up support will be there soon, and if we trap them here for a minute or two, we will be able to completely control the situation."

In Bai Hejing's previous judgment, Judy, James, and the people who came to the rescue by the FBI must have been mixed in with the pile of ambulances in front of him.

It's not difficult to find out who they really are, as long as you trap them and search them one by one, you can find them out right away.

What is really dangerous is how to deal with the death of these people after their identities are exposed.

The forces left around this hospital by the organization are not sufficient at the moment, except for Bai Hejing, who has been on the second floor these days, and Cointreau, who is in the hall on the first floor today, there are only a bunch of black-clothed consumables that can be sacrificed at any time.

As for the rest of the elite cadres, such as Gin and others, they are not here now.

In addition to the organization's misjudgment of the FBI's operation time, what is more important is the deployment of elite cadres in the organization.

This huge organization can't leave all those powerful elite cadres in this hospital to guard against the FBI, right?

Bai Hejing himself stayed on the second floor, one in the hall, and some consumables around the hospital that could be used to temporarily control the scene...... This was the minimum precaution that Bai Hejing had arranged before.

Once the F.B.I. is operational, even if it is a surprise attack, they can quickly lock down the hospital with this internal and external arrangement.

As long as they can control the situation for a short time, the follow-up support of the organization can arrive quickly, and in fact, they can solve everything before the police arrive, and finally get out of the way.

Of course, no matter what kind of plan it is, it is normal for it to be flawed when it actually starts to be implemented, especially when facing opponents of similar strength.

The FBI's operation today did begin outside of the organization's predictions, hacking the hospital's internal network, disguised as ambulance crews in an attempt to quietly move Judy and James.

Although Bai Hejing quickly realized this and immediately sealed off the hospital, the other party was obviously on guard against this early morning, and the two grenades almost broke the blockade of the main entrance of the hospital, and even used themselves as bait to try to distract the organization.

Of course, this attempt by the FBI was not entirely successful.

The reason why it is said to be "not completely successful" is because Bai Hejing saw through their intentions at the first time, and asked Cointreau to make the most suitable arrangements to continue the blockade and continue to drag on, because time is on the side of the organization.

Then Bai Hejing went to chase the mouse that ran out herself.

Well, Cointreau has no complaints about this, after all, Bai Hejing arranged the situation before leaving, and the only thing she had to do was to trap these people in the hospital for two minutes, and two minutes would be fine.

Because it only takes two minutes, Gin they can get there.

"W-"

Just as Cointreau was thinking this, a cloud of white gas suddenly rose from under the seat of the person next to her.

"Huh? What is it? It's spicy! What is this?! ”

At the same time, at the main entrance of the hall, in front of the elevator, and in several other places in the waiting area for families, streams of white gas came out at the same time.

[Tear gas?] 】

“……”

Half a minute ahead of the clock, Shuichi Akai and Judy, disguised as lifesavers, were also standing in front of the elevator, standing at the back of the other lifesavers and paramedics around them.

"Shuichi, what are we going to do next?" Lowering her voice, Judy asked Shuichi Akai beside her.

"Well, things are really not good."

Wearing a mask, Akai Shuichi's face was also a little dignified, but only a little.

The black-clothed human palace at the main entrance had already helped them put down most of them, and the remaining three or two were not to worry about it at all.

Now is the perfect time to evacuate.

When he saw that those men in black were just blocking the door and did not make any further moves, Akai Shuichi was keenly aware that the organization was waiting for the support of the follow-up forces.

It is highly likely that the members of the organization hiding in this hospital have already guessed their rescue method, but it is only because the organization does not have enough strength to stay in the hospital at the moment, and they are afraid that they will not be able to swallow them all, so they have temporarily stopped further action and only trapped them here.

Wait any longer, and when the organization's follow-up support arrives, they will all have to be trapped and die in it.

There's never been a better time to act.

"Judy, can you still run?"

The two stood at the back, and under the cover of the surrounding crowd, Akai Shuichi quietly squatted down.

"It should work." Judy also squatted down, her body still a little weak.

"At this time, you have to answer for sure." Two pairs of gas masks were taken out of the bag under the stretcher bed, and Shuichi Akai handed one of them to Judy.

"Put it on, and then puff up all your strength to run after me, and the target is the ambulance parked closest to the main entrance, understand?"

"Hmm."

Watching Judy put on the gas mask, Akai Shuichi took out the sets of tear gas and smoke grenades that had been prepared in advance in his bag.

Each of these groups had a tear gas and smoke grenades, tied together with duct tape, for a total of four groups.

Shuichi Akai handed two of these groups to Judy.

"There are four positions in total, the elevator door, the main entrance, the last two are in the family waiting area, I am responsible for the position of the main entrance and a waiting area, and the remaining two will be handed over to you, can you?"

"Okay." Judy took a deep breath and nodded back.

"Let's go."

Compared to Judy, Akai Shuichi's face was much calmer.

Squatting on the ground, he found the right direction, pulled out the safety of the two sets of tear gas and smoke grenades in his hand, and slid out hard against the floor.

Beside him, Judy followed suit by throwing two sets of tear gas and smoke grenades from her hand.

"W-"

With a soft sound, a thick white fog began to emerge from the hall of the hospital in an instant, and a strong irritating gas and smoke mixed together, rising from all four directions in the hall at the same time, filling most of the hall on the first floor in just a few seconds.

"Ahem! What is it? Choking! ”

"My eyes hurt so much! My nose! It's so spicy! ”

"It hurts so much in my chest...... I can't breathe......"

"Help! I can't see! ”

"Don't move! None of ...... Ahem! Damn it! ”

"It's poison gas!"

In the crowd, a voice suddenly shouted.

"They want to poison us! Run, everybody! ”

Gas?!

"Run!"

The shout immediately detonated everyone in the hall, and the hospital was instantly plunged into complete chaos, with the sound of noisy footsteps and screams at the same time, mixed with the sound of stretcher beds hitting each other.

"Don't move!"

"Phew! Bang! ”

Gunshots rang out at the main entrance, but the deterrent effect of the guns was greatly weakened when everyone could not see each other.

Even if there is a timid person who wants to stop, he will be pushed and squeezed forward by the people behind him, and in complete chaos, he will rush out of the main entrance of the hospital in a swarm.

Cointreau was the quickest to react, and as soon as she saw the rising white gas mixture, she realized the other party's intentions, and after only a brief hesitation, she immediately picked up the guitar case she had kept under her seat and ran straight out of the main door.

"Ahem!"

Although she reacted quickly, she did not have a gas mask, so she inevitably inhaled a small amount of tear gas during the process of rushing out of the hospital.

At this time, her eyes were red and swollen, tears were streaming profusely, and there was still a clear burning sensation in her nose, throat and even lungs.

Tear gas canisters are not just tear gas, they produce gases that can cause severe irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth and even lungs.

Although it is a non-lethal weapon, it can cause irreversible damage to the human body if inhaled in large quantities.

Struggling to open his red and swollen eyes, Cointreau took a quick sweep of the hospital's main entrance.

To sum up, she does not believe that those people will choose to resist tear gas, even if they do run out of the hospital, the stimulation generated by tear gas will have a great negative impact on their subsequent evacuation operations.

In other words, since those people dare to throw tear gas, they must have equipment similar to gas masks.

According to Bai Hejing's previous speculation, James is seriously injured and has not yet recovered, and the best way to quietly transfer such a seriously injured patient who can't stand the bumps is to do his hands and feet on the stretcher.

Therefore, wearing a gas mask and pushing a stretcher bed, as long as you have both, you are their target!

The mission changed, and the goal of trapping those people in the hospital was no longer realistic, in that case, she would directly find them and kill them.

This is not difficult, because the medical staff around the elevator are pushing stretcher beds and dressing the same, so it is difficult to distinguish.

But now it's different, in the chaotic situation just now, no normal medical staff would want to push the stretcher bed together when they escaped.

Therefore, if there really is any outlier who will run out with a stretcher bed, it can only be the FBI who came to save people.

With just one glance, Cointreau saw what she was looking for, and it was obvious to hear it.

It was two lifesavers, a man and a woman, who, as she expected, were not only wearing gas masks, but also pushing a slightly special stretcher bed in their hands.

After the two rushed out of the hospital, when everyone around them was lying on the ground and coughing in pain, they did not stop at all, rushed all the way to the nearest ambulance, and carried the stretcher bed up together.

Confirming his target, Cointreau hurried towards the two of them.

At this time, the female lifeguard of the two had already gotten into the back compartment of the ambulance, while the male lifeguard quickly rushed to the cab after closing the door.

Watching this scene, Cointreau's hand pressed lightly on the guitar case, the box bounced open instantly, she quickly took out the sniper rifle in it, half-knelt on the ground, loaded the mirror, loaded the magazine, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the driver's seat of the ambulance.

Almost at the same time, in the driver's seat, Shuichi Akai, who had just started the ambulance, also saw Cointreau in the rearview mirror.

"Oh yes."

Although he was a little surprised by the speed of the other party's reaction, the movement of his hands did not stop at all.

Pressing the accelerator, he flicked the steering wheel with his right hand, quickly pulled out his pistol with his left hand, stretched out the window, and aimed directly at Cointreau behind him through the rearview mirror.

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

The two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, and the bullets of the sniper rifle were fired extremely quickly, but because Akai Shuichi adjusted the ambulance's direction at the end, it did not hit its target, but only grazed Akai Shuichi's wrist, and the hot air flow brought by the bullet shattered part of the sleeve of his shirt, leaving a somewhat terrifying blood mark on his forearm.

The pistol bullet he fired was also deflected, and it didn't kill Cointreau on the spot, but only into her shoulder.

"Hmm!"

Shot in the shoulder, Cointreau quickly rolled over to dodge and ducked behind a nearby ambulance.

"Gin!"

"I've arrived, it's the ambulance, right?" In the headphones, Gin's cold voice sounded.

With the sound of gin, on the street in front of the hospital, a black classic car drove by quickly, it did not stop, the speed did not slow, and chased straight towards the ambulance in front.

In the ambulance, Shuichi Akai saw Cointreau's rapid rollover and dodge after being shot in the rearview mirror, and knowing that he had lost the opportunity to refill the gun, he withdrew his hand and glanced down at the blood on his forearm.

"Shuichi!" In the medical cabin, Judy had just witnessed the whole scene.

"It's fine, just a little bruising."

Retracting his gaze, Shuichi Akai opened the observation window and threw the pistol to Judy in the back.

"Just in case, you take this gun, take care of James, and then, it's time for us to go and meet up with the palace......"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw in the rearview mirror that a black Porsche he was familiar with appeared on the street not far behind.

Looking at this classic car, his face gradually became solemn.

"Well, it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer before we can go and meet up with the palace......"
