“Bong！” The older African-American boy was chatting happily with the girl he liked at the door of the apartment one second, and the next second he was swept away by the shockwave into the center of the street.

A silver Toyota sedan on the side of the road had just stopped at the door of the apartment, and the female driver who was about to get out of the car was pushed out of the car directly, and the glass of the shop on the opposite side of the road was also shattered.

Jack bent down to escort Alexis out of the danger zone along the street, only then straightened up and shook off a slag of broken glass, "Are you alright?" ”

The girl looked at the apartment where the explosion occurred with some shock, her lips trembled, and it took a long time for her to say a word, "That. The little boy had just run in. ”

"Yes." Jack's tone was a little heavy, although he didn't know each other, it was not easy for anyone to watch a living life pass away in front of his eyes, and it was obvious that there were more residents in the building.

"Was it a gas explosion? We should help them. Alexis, though her legs were still shivering, couldn't help but look at the people outside the apartment who had been injured by the blast wave.

"Probably not." Jack was very familiar with the smell of gunsmoke, after all, he had only smelled it not so long ago, and more than once.

He escorted the little girl to sit down on the corner of the street, "Stay here, don't go anywhere, call 911, I'll contact the FBI now." ”

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone as he walked to the apartment, found the number left by Rosie, and dialed it.

"Sir Moge, yes, I'm Jack, yes, I've just arrived in New York. Sorry for the interruption. I'm on XX Street in Clinton right now, and there's just been an explosion here. Yes, not like an accident, I smelled almonds that were suspected to be TNT

Sorry, I'm not sure, but the smell is pretty much the same as what my house tasted after being bombarded with an RPG. I'll be there as ordered, sir. ”

Jack had not only smelled the smell of TNT after the explosion, but also the strong smell of mercaptan after the gas explosion, after all, his poor little building had caused another gas explosion after being bombarded by an RPG, and both smells were still fresh in his memory.

Hanging up the phone, he also came to the boy who was blown away by the blast in the middle of the road, and in the blink of an eye, the poor child was separated from his brother and the girl he liked forever.

The African-American girl who was standing across from him and chatting with him was hit in the temple with a brick in the temple, and by this time she had become a corpse and fell on the side of the street, and there was an unlucky passer-by across the street, pierced into a hedgehog by broken glass and shards of iron railings.

Among the people standing near the entrance of the apartment, only the African-American boy and the female driver who was pushed out of the car by the wave survived, but they both fell into a coma.

Jack quickly examined the two of them to make sure that there were no rib fractures inserted into their internal organs, and dragged them away from the scene one by one, waiting for the arrival of the fire brigade and ambulance.

The building where the explosion occurred is the most common red-brick six-story apartment in New York, and it has been looking like it has been around for a few years, and the explosion just now obviously occurred on the ground floor.

At this time, there were shocking cracks on the exterior walls of the first and second floors, even if they collapsed in the next moment, he would not be surprised, so the principle that the seriously injured could not move easily did not apply to the moment.

In about five minutes, two fire trucks and ambulances arrived at the scene, followed by two patrol police cars, and saw Jack squatting on the side of the street to care for the wounded, and a fire brigade captain with two EMTs (emergency medical technicians) hurriedly came to his side.

"Any idea what's going on?"

Jack directly took out his ID and revealed his identity, "FBI senior agent Jack Tavole, just passing by here, 5 minutes ago, that is, at 4:03, there was an explosion on the first floor of this apartment, it should not be caused by gas, it is recommended to evacuate everyone in the building immediately." ”

"OK, I'll send someone in there immediately to inspect the damage to the structure, if"

Before the captain could finish speaking, he was grabbed by Jack's arm, "No, you didn't understand what I meant, this is not an ordinary gas explosion, immediately arrange for the people inside to withdraw, understand?" ”

The captain was slightly stunned, then nodded, turned around and began to count the troops, beckoning his team members to go into the building and knock on the door from door to door.

Seeing that some of the residents on the ground floor had been walking out of the apartment one after another under the guidance of the firefighters, Jack assisted EMT in carrying the injured person on a stretcher, and was about to turn back to find Alexis, when a Sabo class with a siren and police lights on arrived at the scene.

He looked at the time, it was less than ten minutes since the explosion, and the rest of the reinforcements of the police and ambulances had not yet arrived, was the FBI in New York so efficient, could it really be driven from the sidewalk?

Watching two agents, a man and a woman, wearing FBI blue identification jackets, get out of the car, walk to the entrance of the apartment building, and talk to the fire captain who had just helped a resident out of the apartment, Jack opened his mouth to say hello and felt a little embarrassed.

He hadn't officially reported yet, and when he called before, his future boss, Ms. Mo Ge, only asked him to wait at the scene, and he was on his way to come.

These two should be on other missions, and they happened to be nearby, so they could come in such a timely manner, and he went up to interject now, which seemed to be a bit of a hindrance.

At this time, several NYPDs who arrived one after another had already set up a cordon around them, blocking some onlookers who were trying to get close and take pictures, and Jack walked to the cordon and beckoned to Alexis, who was looking at him in the distance.

The little girl was really obedient, and kept standing at the corner of the street, pinching her phone and looking here, and when she saw Jack waving to her, she trotted to the front.

"I'm sorry, Alexis, I may not be able to send you home, my superiors asked me. Fack"

Before Jack's words fell, he only felt a sensation like an electric shock rising from his heels, all the way down his back, with a terrifying coolness straight to the heavenly spirit cover.

He threw Alexis down and protected her in her terrified gaze.

"Be careful."

"Boom !!"

An explosion several times more violent than before came from behind him, and the shock wave kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, and the choking smoke instantly filled the entire street.

The NYPD, which was supposed to maintain order, and the passers-by who were standing around the cordon to watch the excitement were all knocked to the ground, and the scene felt like a small earthquake had occurred.

Jack only felt that his whole brain was buzzing, and the tinnitus like static noise took up all of his hearing at this time.

Subconsciously gave himself and Alexis a healing spell to himself, he raised his head and turned to look at the apartment where the secondary explosion occurred.

The two F.B.I. who were standing at the door of the apartment were gone, except for the fire captain in a firefighter suit, who could barely see him lying on the sidewalk through the smoke and dust because of the obvious bright green stripes on his body, and he was still protecting the resident who had walked out of the apartment with him earlier.

"Oh! My leg! ”

"Help!"

"I need help!"

Listening to the cries for help, Jack got up from the ground and reached out to pull Alexis, who was also disgraced, from the ground, "Find a safe place to stay, I'll help." ”

"Squeak."

Hearing an ominous sound behind him, Jack turned back again in shock, only to see that the entrance to the black hole apartment building seemed to be an open hell gate, and let out a roar like a devil.

From time to time, sporadic shards of glass and bricks fell from the building's exterior walls and crackled onto the sidewalk.

"It's going to fall!" Some of the people who were standing farther away to watch the bustle suddenly someone shouted in terror.

"!" Like a bolt of lightning, Jack flew to the side of the fire captain, grabbed him by the collar of his firefighting suit, grabbed the person under him with the other hand, and the muscles of his whole body bulged, and lifted the two of them from the ground.

"Jack! Be careful! Jack staggered two steps, and at Alexis' terrible screams, most of the escape ladder that had been mounted on the outer wall of the apartment fell behind him with a loud bang.

Jack was carrying a man in one hand and half and ran wildly, and just behind him, the six-story apartment, which had been bruised and bruised after being blasted twice, collapsed, and the smoke and dust in the sky instantly covered the crowd of onlookers around him, and for a moment the entire street fell into a deathly silence.
