Chapter 114: Cheering for the Olympic Flame
On the afternoon of the second day, the starting ceremony will be held at the Wah Kwok Basin Park Pier at McCorvey Bay. A few hours before the start ceremony, thousands of people gathered at the start and finish points of the relay, holding aloft the national flags of the two countries, the Olympic five-ring flags, banners welcoming the Olympic flame, beating gongs and drums, and performing dragon and lion dances, showing their ardent expectations and enthusiastic support for China's successful hosting of the Olympic Games.
Along the way, many police officers stood by in a few steps, and the security measures were very tight. Bai Shuo and others also changed into casual sportswear and mingled in the crowd, cheering for the Olympics while observing the surrounding movements.
As the time approached, more and more people gathered at McCorvey Bay, and several anti-China and anti-Olympic demonstrators appeared at the scene, holding signs and shouting slogans, and came to the starting site. However, the force to maintain peace and defend the Olympic flame on the spot is even greater. Tens of thousands of people spontaneously joined forces to defend the Olympic flame and confronted the demonstrators. As the saying goes, "words are not speculative for more than half a sentence", the two sides did not have too many transitional words on the spot, so they scolded each other directly, and some people also had slight and sporadic conflicts. However, although there are many such demonstrators, there is nothing to be afraid of, and what matters is which are the terrorists who are hiding behind the scenes, have ulterior motives, and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
At this time, Zhu Suian found a man wearing a hat, covering half of his face with a sweater collar, and his hands in his pockets of his clothes. Zhu Sui'an, Bai Shuo and the others made a look, and then quickly approached the man. After a while, the man reached the intersection of the crowd on both sides, and began to plunge into the most crowded pile, and the hand in his pocket began to move a little. Zhu Suian followed behind and quickly caught up. The moment the man got into the pile, he suddenly felt a numbness in his back, and then he lost consciousness. At this time, I saw that Zhu Sui'an helped the man and did not let him fall, and then like a buddy and brother, he gradually left the crowd with his shoulders on his back, Bai Shuo and Zhao Yong also hurriedly greeted him, squeezed the man in the middle, and then hugged him towards the hidden place. After turning a corner, Zhu Suian hurriedly threw down the man, and then quickly searched his body, and found a sharp dagger in his pocket, obviously this person wanted to cause bloodshed in the crowd, and then cause anger on both sides, causing greater conflict.
The man was stunned by Zhu Sui'an, and he wouldn't wake up for an hour or two, so for safety, Bai Shuo and Zhao Yong still threw him into the weeds in the garden to save him from being discovered. Then the three of them hurried back to the scene and continued to observe the suspicious person. At the same time, Liang Ying and Niu Er also successfully subdued a suspicious person with a gasoline bottle, and finally handed it over to the police. Before the relay began, two more suspicious people were found one after another, both of whom were quietly fainted by Bai Shuo. Jiu Ye's side also achieved a lot of results, and he swept around the periphery for a while, assisting the police in arresting many suspicious elements who hid sharp weapons and prohibited items. In the venue, the people of the Fuxing Gang and many overseas Chinese, international students, and peace-loving personnel maintained the order of the scene very well.
At 1 p.m., the relay officially began. However, the relay appears to have made significant changes to the original plan from the outset. Shortly after the relay began, the flame suddenly disappeared from view. When the demonstrators saw this, they immediately searched around. In this cat-and-mouse game involving protesters, officials and journalists, ZF was worried about causing excessive congestion, and the first torchbearer deviated from the established route at the beginning and ran into a nearby pier.
Just when everyone thought it was safe, more than a dozen suspicious people suddenly appeared in front of the torchbearer, walking towards the torchbearer. This route was determined just in the morning, and if the enemy had been prepared, it would mean that there were people from the other side among the official personnel. At this point, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and the staff around the torchbearers received a message telling them to deflect their course again and avoid the suspicious people in front of them. There was a warehouse right in front of the pier, and there was a path in front of the warehouse that led to the destination, and the torchbearers immediately ran in the direction of the path under the guidance of the staff. However, after a short run, several suspicious people in black tights and half-masked appeared in front of them again, and the retreat route behind was also cut off by the previous suspicious people, and the staff immediately called the police when they saw this, but due to the temporary change of route, most of the police force was still deployed according to the original plan, and the actual police force following the torchbearer was very limited.
The torchbearers and several staff members were gradually forced to the front of the storeroom, and finally three policemen appeared, armed with batons, to send a message of deterrence to those approaching. But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the three policemen were knocked unconscious by someone's palm and fell to the ground one after another. More than a dozen men in black continued to approach the torchbearers, and some began to slowly pull out daggers, throwing sticks and other weapons from their bodies. At this time, the door of the warehouse suddenly opened, and three young men with Chinese appearances came out of it, and the first one said something to the torchbearer, and the torchbearer and his party quickly rushed into the warehouse, and the three men also slowly retreated after the torchbearer and others entered. The dozen or so men in black were willing to stop there, and immediately rushed towards the warehouse. Three Chinese men also took out their weapons and confronted more than a dozen men in black at the gate. Due to the relatively narrow door of the warehouse, the three of them were able to block the door at first and barely maintain, but as the man in black gradually pushed inward and broke through the gate, he formed a siege on the three of them, and the three Chinese men could not resist and were soon injured and fled.
The man in black entered the warehouse, and found through the dim light that the warehouse was thousands of square meters in size, and some goods were loosely stacked inside, and the torchbearer and everyone had retreated to the innermost part of the warehouse at this moment, and the burning torch was particularly dazzling in the dimness.
"Take the torch away!" With an order, two guards were left at the door, and more than a dozen men in black slowly surrounded the direction of the torch. When the black-clothed people were halfway through, suddenly all the lights in the warehouse turned on, and more than a dozen brothers of the Fuxing Gang jumped out from the surrounding cargo piles, and the first one was the ghost Yang Jian. Someone in black seemed to recognize Yang Jian and immediately said: "Fuxing Gang, you are so nosy?" Yang Jian was not surprised to play with the dagger in his hand and said disdainfully: "The Olympics is a major event for us Chinese, and this idle matter is still in charge." ”
The black-clothed man at the head looked around: "Hmph, the rabble of the Fuxing Gang, I'm afraid you guys aren't enough to see." After that, the man in black was the first to attack and rushed towards the people of the Fuxing Gang. Originally, the people of the Fuxing Gang occupied an excellent position, and they were more advantageous, but after a fight, they found that this group of people in black was not simple, all of them were elites, except for Yang Jian and a few backbones, the rest of the Fuxing Gang almost had to be two people to resist a man in black. After a while, the Fuxing Gang, which originally had a slight advantage in numbers, gradually became weaker, and was suppressed by the man in black and slowly approached the torch. Fortunately, there is Yang Jian in the middle to support him, so he will not be defeated on the whole line.
Then at this time, there was another change at the door of the warehouse, and the two black-clothed men guarding the door were knocked down instantly, and then they didn't stand up, and then a burly and tall figure and a slender and delicate figure appeared at the door, it was Zhu Suian and Anna. It turned out that Zhu Suian found that the torch route deviated from the direction of Anna and looked for it together, when he found this pier, he saw a group of black-clothed people entering the warehouse from a distance, although he did not see the torchbearer, but Zhu Suian immediately felt that this group of people must be related to the torchbearer, so he quietly touched it, and when he arrived outside the warehouse door, he noticed the fight inside, and faintly heard Yang Jian's voice, Zhu Suian immediately determined that the people of the Fuxing Gang must be protecting the torch and fighting against the enemy.
After putting the two of them at the door, Zhu Suian glanced at the warehouse, good guy, this is really not an ordinary bustle, Yang Jian recognized Zhu Suian and immediately shouted: "The torch is here, come and help." Zhu Suian closed and locked the door with his backhand, and rushed over with Anna. When the man in black saw this, two people rushed to the door, and immediately divided into four people to attack Zhu Suian and Anna.
Seeing that Zhu Suian and Anna were bare-handed and unarmed, the four men in black looked a little light, holding the daggers and spikes in their hands and stabbing at the two of them very casually. But before they could see it clearly, the first two were beaten by Zhu Suian and Anna, and even their weapons were snatched away. The remaining two were stunned for a moment, and immediately stopped attacking, blocking their weapons in front of them and making a defensive gesture.
"Come back, you are not opponents" Seeing the situation here, the man in black immediately shouted at the remaining two, but it was too late, Zhu Suian and Anna had already attacked each of the men in black, although the two men in black were engrossed in all their strength, they could only barely defend, and there was still a chance to retreat. The black-clothed man led by him immediately brought two more people to the rescue, which made the pressure on Yang Jian's side suddenly a lot less, and the people of the Fuxing Gang gradually gained the upper hand.
With a "boom", Anna kicked over a man in black first, smashed into a pile of goods, and couldn't stand up again, but Zhu Suian's side hadn't solved the man in black, Anna couldn't help but glance at Zhu Suian proudly, and then rushed towards the three men in black who came to the rescue. A few seconds later, Zhu Suian also knocked the man in black to the ground with a heavy punch, and then rushed to join forces with Anna.
Time passed minute by minute, and the people in black finally gradually lost their support and began to collapse under the joint blows of Zhu Suian, Anna, and the Fuxing Gang. Seeing this situation, several of them quietly retreated towards the back of the team, and then reached out to touch their arms, Anna noticed something strange, and immediately approached one person, seeing that the person actually took out a black pistol from his arms, Anna's eyes shrank, "Be careful, they have guns." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly kicked at the man in black, kicked the pistol away, and then stabbed the man in the chest with a dagger.
"Bang, bang!" At this time, there were still gunshots in the warehouse, Zhu Sui'an, under Anna's reminder, had already taken precautions, flashed the situation, and dodged the gunman's attack, but another brother of the Fuxing Gang was not so lucky, he was shot in the abdomen, his body was slanted, and he was knocked to the ground by the impact of the bullet, and blood kept gushing out of his abdomen.
Hearing the gunshots, everyone in the warehouse immediately scattered and dodged, Yang Jian and a few people protected the torchbearer and hid towards the corner of the warehouse, but the man in black refused to give up, fired two more shots at random, and chased in the direction of the torchbearer.
Zhu Sui'an hid behind a pile of goods, observed the situation, and found that in addition to the person killed by Anna, there were two other gunmen, all of whom were heading in the direction of the torchbearer, so he immediately rushed to kill the two men in black nearby, and also rushed in the direction of the torchbearer. On the other side, after killing another man in black, Anna picked up the pistol dropped by the gunman who was killed, and chased in the direction of the torchbearer. At this time, Yang Jian protected the torchbearer and retreated behind a pile of goods in the corner of the warehouse, dodging the shot of the man in black. In order to share the pressure of Yang Jian, the two brothers of the Fuxing Gang rushed towards the man in black from the pile of goods, but they were soon beaten to the ground, and one of them was shot in the leg, and was punched and kicked fiercely, and immediately passed out.
The man in black was getting closer and closer to Yang Jian, at this time, in addition to the torchbearer and others, there were only two brothers from the Fuxing Gang, and there were only sticks, daggers and other weapons in their hands, while there were five or six people in black approaching, and two of them also had pistols in their hands. Although the other party's goal is only to destroy the torch, it is not impossible if the other party wants to kill all Yang Jian and others by the way.
"Bang, bang, bang......" With the two gunshots, the man in black was in chaos, one man in black was shot and fell to the ground, and the rest of the people scattered and dodged. It turned out that Anna was the first to arrive and shot at the other party with a gun. Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly retreat in another direction with the torchbearer, and distanced himself from the people in black again. However, the flame in the hands of the torchbearers will never allow them to be completely hidden, and the coordinates will always be exposed to both sides of the enemy.
After a flurry of fire, Anna and one of the men in black ran out of bullets, and the other gunman had a few rounds left in his pistol. At this moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared in front of the people in black, and when the gunman was aiming at him and was about to shoot, the figure quickly shifted and cleverly dodged a shot. The man in black was a little annoyed, stood up and faced the figure, raised his gun to aim, this time he would not give the other party another chance, he calculated the direction of the other party's dodge, and then fired two shots in a row at the figure and the direction of the side, but he calculated the right direction but not the right angle, the figure dodged the first shot, but he threw himself to the ground, got into the back of a pile of goods at a tricky angle, and dodged the second shot. Then, the man quickly flashed out from behind the cargo and swooped down on the gunman. Only then did everyone see that this person was not Zhu Suian, but who he was. The gunman was already at a very close distance from Zhu Sui'an at this time, and the muzzle of the gun was only less than a meter away from Zhu Suian.
"You're out of bullets!" Zhu Suian said lightly, and the gunman eagerly touched the trigger continuously, but not another bullet was fired from the gun. Before the man in black could take out other weapons, Zhu Suian had already knocked him away with a straight punch, and then the whole person was deeply trapped in a pile of goods, and he didn't move for half a minute.
The black-clothed men, who had lost their firepower, were soon surrounded and annihilated by the brothers of the Fuxing Gang, and Yang Jian opened the door of the warehouse and reconnoitred outside before leading the torchbearers out of the warehouse again. The torchbearer lifted the torch with trepidation, looked around nervously, and was about to run towards the road ahead. Zhu Suian suddenly grabbed the torchbearer, patted his hand hard behind his back and said: "Brother, don't be nervous, we will always protect you, what you have to do now is to raise your head, puff up your chest, and let a confident smile fill your face." Remember that you represent hundreds of millions of Chinese compatriots at this moment. ”
The torchbearer was deeply encouraged by Zhu Suian's words, nodded to Zhu Sui'an resolutely, and then held the torch high, smiling and shouting to everyone: "Let's continue to set off!" A group of people bravely rushed over against the sun's rays......
