0043 Deadline
No one dared to move.
"Hey, you guys, stand up!"
An NMC came over, unceremoniously grabbed the hair of the woman sitting on the ground in the front, and pulled her to the middle.
The woman let out a scream.
As soon as the NMC let go, the woman fell to the ground with a plop, her face full of fear and her whole body twitching.
NMC made a sound and turned his head in disgust, "Hurry up! Didn't you hear it? Come here!"
A few people still moved, almost rolling and crawling towards the NMC.
Chen Xin and Yaqi also had to stand up, mixed with several other people, and walked over.
"Is there anyone named Archie among you? No? If you dare to lie to me, you will all be dead!"
"Or..." the leader said slyly, "Anyone who knows Yaqi can help us identify him and I will let him go."
Archie was shaking.
He was afraid that Chen Xin would betray him.
Seeing that no one spoke, the NMC leader sneered.
"Then, take out your ID cards or passports, don't try to cause trouble!"
Chen Xin knew that he had to make a choice.
Taking advantage of the cover of the passenger next to him, he quickly grabbed a handful of gravel from the hotel's bonsai flower pot, touched the largest one, spotted a manual fire alarm button not far from him, and flicked it with his finger.
Snap!
The plastic protective shell on the manual alarm button exploded to pieces, the button was dented, and then a harsh alarm sounded.
Taking advantage of the panic among the NMCs, Chen Xin moved like lightning, grabbing the assault rifle of the NMC in front, turning around and snatching it away.
He punched the NMC in the jaw, sending the man flying far away, then jumped into the stairwell and rushed towards the corridor on the second floor.
As he expected, Archie rushed over immediately.
"quick!"
Yaqi rolled around and hid behind Chen Xin.
Two NMCs chased them and were knocked down by Chen Xin with two shots.
"Let's go!" Chen Xin pushed Yaqi and ran deeper into the corridor.
"Thank you, thank you. I'm really rich. I'll give it to you when I get out..."
Chen Xin ignored him. After hiding in a relatively safe place, Chen Xin lowered his voice and said, "Sally, I have found Archie. He is on the second floor now. I need to find a way to evacuate the hotel with the hostages!
"
"Searching! There is a freight passage on the first floor, which is usually not open. It has not been blocked by local officials yet. The NMC has probably ignored it."
Chen Xin snorted softly, "It doesn't matter even if they have someone guarding there. However, I have to find Anya first."
He met Anya in the narrow freight stairwell on the other side of the hotel.
"What happened?"
Anya did not bring a communicator, so Chen Xin could only briefly explain the current situation to her.
"Is this Kamiya Minoru's goal?" Anya looked at Archie, who had a worried face.
"Hey, what kind of deal are you doing?"
Archie was speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, a warning signal rang out in Chen Xin's heart, and he and Anya raised their guns and aimed at the stairs almost at the same time.
With a few exaggerated claps, Kamiya Minoru walked out from the corner.
Chen Xin saw at a glance that his left hand had been equipped with an extremely delicate prosthetic limb, which could move freely and could almost look real.
Seven or eight people wearing black shirts suddenly appeared up and down the stairs. Everyone was armed with heavy weapons. There were even two people holding four mutated dogs that Chen Xin had seen before.
They completely blocked the passage up and down Chen Xin's group.
"I really didn't expect that such a simple transaction would involve so many forces."
Kamiya Minoru smiled slightly, "Are you Aqi Bin Sudiro?"
Archie shrank.
"Now that you have negotiated a deal with us, why do you regret it halfway? Do you really think that we can't do anything to you if you join Xingzhou Kingdom? It's really ridiculous."
What he said was ridiculous, but there was a bone-chilling coldness in his voice, which made Archie shudder even more.
"These two must be agents of Xingzhou Kingdom, right?" Kamiya Minoru turned to Chen Xin and Anya, "I also want to thank you for helping me find this Yaqi, otherwise, I would have to waste some time!
"
Anya wanted to take action, but saw Chen Xin shook his head slightly.
It wouldn't be a big problem for Chen Xin to kill these people, but he was not sure that Yaqi would be unharmed in the chaos, especially since the opponent actually had a mutant dog in his hand!
At least, not in such a cramped place.
He wanted to capture Kamiya Minoru alive and bring Archie out safely. After all, he was very interested in the deal between Kamiya Minoru and Archie.
Maybe, this is their chance to get closer to Kamiya Minoru and his gang!
One of Kamiya Minoru's men came over, ripped off Chen Xin's headphones, and crushed them to pieces with his foot.
…
"The communicator was destroyed!"
Sally exclaimed.
"Your people have been captured. I can't wait any longer. My commando team will attack the Exton Hotel. Regardless of the NMC Liberation Front organization or that Kamiya Minoru, I will arrest them.
Bring him to justice." Colonel Aoun said coldly.
"Please wait a moment!" Li Zhilong said, "Many bombs have been installed in the hotel lobby, and the hostages are concentrated in the lobby. If you insist on attacking, not only will your team members pay a heavy price, but the hostage casualties will also be settled.
On your head! You know, there are many celebrities and many foreign tourists at the Exton Hotel!”
He said coldly: "By that time, even the old port authorities may not be able to withstand such diplomatic pressure!"
Colonel Aoun said angrily: "If you hadn't acted arbitrarily behind our backs, how could things have gotten into this situation?! M.I.S.O and Xingzhou Kingdom should be responsible for this!"
Ralph hurriedly said: "Colonel Orne, please give me some more time, my people..."
"If the person who captured them was really the so-called Kamiya Minoru, your people would have been dead long ago, Mr. Ralph."
Ralph was speechless.
"No one can estimate how much damage will be caused if this delay continues. If those NMCs are crazy and dare to take down MVCH, it will cause more serious consequences! How can you M.I.S.O and Xingzhou Kingdom afford it?
The aftermath of another biochemical attack on the Opera House?”
"Colonel Orne!" Ralph raised his voice, "Please give my people a little more time and give them a chance to resolve this matter from within the hotel!"
Colonel Aoun pondered for a moment and said: "One hour, this is the deadline I give you."
"Thanks."
Ralph watched helplessly as Colonel Orne turned around and left the temporary headquarters, feeling anxious in his heart.
Chapter completed!
