729 Collapsed

The steel cables on the roof of the elevator rattle and will break at any moment.

And the last person left stood in the innermost, with his hands firmly attached to the wall of the elevator.

Tears flowed down your eyes and the eyeshadow washed away.

The short-haired woman just pursed her lips and kept shaking her head.

"Trust me."

Ethan stretched out his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Give me your hand, and you will definitely live." ”

"Nope." The woman felt the slowly shaking elevator and cried out, "I can't move, my feet are out of control." ”

Damn, Ethan scolded secretly.

Some people are like this, in a state of extreme panic, the body will lose control.

At this point, all she needed was a little stimulation.

His eyes narrowed, and Ethan decisively withdrew his hand and pressed it on the handle of the gun.

"Don't."

Seeing this, Erin hurriedly snorted softly, she quickly held on to the elevator and climbed up regardless of the danger.

This action made the elevator vibrate slightly.

"Irene."

Ethan and Rusek were scared and sweaty, and shouted anxiously.

"It's okay, trust me."

Erin replied, and she crouched into the elevator and looked at the people inside.

Now she felt the fear in the hearts of these people, the feeling of falling into the abyss at any moment, which made her throat thirsty.

"Don't worry."

She stretched out her hand to the middle-aged woman, and her voice was like a scraped piece of wood: "I'm with you, let's go, I'll take you to live." ”

More than a dozen people outside all clenched their fists and watched this scene.

In the silence of the scene, only the whimper of the steel cable could be heard, which was far more than it should bear, making it whine incessantly.

Looking at Erin's sincere gaze, the woman inside plucked up courage.

Her body trembled, and she slowly reached out her hand.

Erin grabbed her hand sharply, pulled it over herself, and fell backwards.

"Boom."

A scalp-tingling sound rang out.

Something, broken!

Erin put her arms around the woman with one hand and felt her body float upwards, she closed her eyes and reached back with her other hand with endless hope.

"Smack."

A big hand, held steadily.

The next moment, Erin felt that she was taking off.

"Bump."

The three of them fell backwards together, like a gourd rolling on the ground, and tumbled to the ground.

"Sting."

The elevator is like a gate, closing with a thousand momentum.

With sparks, it smashed all the way down.

Four or five seconds later, a loud bang came from below.

This movement, like a soul bell, will wake everyone present, whether they recognize it or not, and whether they usually have a grudge or not, they find the nearest person, find the person around them and hug each other tightly.

The sound of cheers and cries of pain resounded on the twenty-ninth floor.

Blue Orange heard the sound, and when he saw the crowd hugging each other excitedly, his heart relaxed.

The whole person sat down on the ground and laughed happily.

"It's okay."

Ethan patted Erin, who was strangling herself, and said helplessly: "If you try harder, you will strangle me to death." ”

"Bastard."

Erin let go of her hand, she sniffed and pounded Ethan's chest hard, "I knew you would be able to pull me out!" ”

With a big smile on her face, she tugged at Ethan's arm again, causing her to grin.

"Shet."

Rusek, who was so frightened by the scene just now that he fell to the ground, also stood up happily, he walked over with a smile, and stretched out his arms.

Under his tugging, the two got up.

The three of them, holding each other's shoulders and hugging each other, were able to successfully save more than a dozen people, and at this time, their hearts were full of joy.

"Thank you."

An old black man in a high-end suit walked over, opened his hands, and hugged the three of them together gratefully: "Thank you!" ”

The crowd of hugs kept growing.

When Hank and Antonio came to find them, they saw a large group of people hugging each other, and they suddenly stopped and exhaled heavily.

"Click."

Ethan sat on the ground against the wall, playing with the lighter in his hand, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke

"You shouldn't have done that."

He turned his head and stared at Erin: "It's too stupid, saving people must be based on their own safety." ”

"That's right, stupid." Erin nodded, her eyes lit up, "But, do we really want to watch her die like this in front of us?" ”

"Even if you have the opportunity, don't you fight?"

"I just know that if I can do something and don't do it, just watch her fall to her death in front of me, then I won't be able to pass myself in the future."

Ethan was speechless and shrugged.

Everyone has their own rules of conduct, and this is understandable, just follow your heart.

"You were impulsive." Erin looked at Ethan, bit out of her cigarette and said, "If you shoot that person out of the elevator, what awaits you must be suspended, as well as a very high probability of sky-high claims." ”

"I'm not kidding, it's very likely to happen."

"I agree." Rusek flicked the ashes of his cigarette and raised his hand: "I am reluctant to say this, but someone will forget that you are here to save their lives." ”

"Got it."

Ethan shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a smile.

Hank, who was leaning against the wall, listened to these words, and his hoarse voice rang out:

"What just happened?"

Those who were rescued, led by the rest of BFIPU, all went downstairs.

Ethan, a few of them, stayed on it to rest.

With a wave of his hand, Ethan told what had just happened, and he looked at Hank with a frown: "What the hell is going on, why did the bomber launch earlier, isn't there still a few minutes?" ”

"If we hadn't added a temporary insurance policy, all of these people would have died."

"I want to ask you too." Hank spread his hands and said with a depressed face: "As soon as the promised ransom was delivered, there was an explosion on it. ”

"The communication between the negotiators and the bombers has also been cut off."

"That's three million dollars, and normal people wouldn't give up so suddenly."

"Coincidentally, this one we are facing is not a normal person." Erin chuckled and flicked the cigarette butt away, "If you want to find the answer to this question, you have to ask the bomber." ”

The smoke filled the air, blocking Ethan's gaze.

He squeezed the cigarette butt's hand, and suddenly forced, just now in a hurry, and never noticed something.

Now that he was idle, he finally noticed something unusual.

A bright point of light, the arrow is down, look at the distance, just in the position of the elevator shaft.

And it hasn't been touched since now.

It's not normal, it's very abnormal.

"The signal in the elevator shaft is not good." Ethan thought of an excuse and looked up at Hank: "If the bomber wants to detonate, it must be within a certain distance. ”

He patted the ground and said categorically:

"In other words, he must be in this building."

"Won't it?"

Hank scratched his head and said puzzledly: "The people in the building have been evacuated, and if the bomber is there, it will definitely be discovered." ”

"Blind spots."

Ethan was patient and nodded his head: "There must be a blind spot." ”

"Contact the security manager and ask about any anomalies in this building, what happened before, not necessarily today, just a little anomaly."

Hank nodded and quickly took out his phone.

After a while, he put down the phone, pointed to the intact elevator door next to him, and said in a hoarse voice: "This elevator is broken, and it has been under repair for the past two days." ”

"The elevator compartment is parked on the twenty-fourth floor."

"Bump."

Ethan's rifle butt hit the ground and he stood up.

"Let's go."

He slung his cigarette and slung the AR15 over his shoulder, striding towards the fire staircase. (End of chapter)
