Six snipers in different positions began to move their guns slightly as the car passed by.
The intersection is not that big and can be crossed in a few seconds at the speed of a car, so there is only enough room for each of them to shoot once, and this shot must hit Pissel.
It concerns the fate of the Equality Society, and it is also the longest few seconds in their lives.
As the first person to shoot, Morais fired an unusually crisp shot into the back seat of the car less than a hundred meters away from him.
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out, resounding throughout Augustin Street.
The glass of the car Pisel was riding in shattered.
And almost before the echo of the first gunshot dissipated, dense gunshots rang out one after another.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Two of them followed Morais' shattered rear window and shot into the back seat, while the rest hit the car's outer shell.
The incident happened so suddenly that the cavalry guard platoon and the car rushed forward according to their inertia and disappeared at the intersection.
Did they hit?
No one can evacuate until it is confirmed that Pisel is dead.
To the east of the intersection, in the direction of the car and the guard platoon, Morais, who was responsible for checking whether Pisel was dead, continued to use a sniper scope to check the situation in the car.
The sudden attack did not cause the soldier in charge of driving to speed up his evacuation. He was so panicked that he crashed the car into a store on one side of the street. The cavalry platoon in charge of the guard reacted quickly and immediately mounted their horses to guard the surrounding areas. Several people dismounted and ran to the store.
Check the situation in front of the car.
The guard platoon leader loudly dispatched soldiers to look for snipers among the fleeing pedestrians, and at the same time opened the car door to explore Pissel's injury.
Morais could not see Pisel's condition through the sniper scope.
He couldn't tell whether Pisel had been shot and fell, or whether he had curled up before being hit.
But it could be seen from the panic expression of the guard platoon leader that Pisel must have been shot.
"Drive to the hospital quickly! Hurry!" the guard platoon leader urged the driver anxiously.
Morais heard the sound and immediately shot the car's tire.
However, the shot was unnecessary. When the driver crashed the car into the store, he was badly injured and was unable to drive the car again.
Upon seeing this, the guard platoon leader immediately dragged Pissel out and hid in the nearest store: "Call backup! Call a doctor! Guard this store!"
When the security platoon leader was carrying Pisel to the store under heavy escort, Morais finally saw the specific situation of Pisel.
Pissel had a huge penetrating wound in his abdomen, and his head was also bloody!
These two wounds are fatal!
Pisel must die!
After confirming that Pissel was dead, Morais immediately fired three shots into the sky to signal to others that Pissel was dead and that they could evacuate.
"Bang bang bang!"
After three gunshots, Adel roared excitedly and quickly evacuated with his gun. Others also rushed to catch up with the time, trying to get out before the patrol troops blocked the road and blocked their evacuation route.
Morais, who had placed himself in the most dangerous position, was not so lucky. He was located closest to the guard platoon and fired five shots in total. As expected, he was locked by the guard platoon.
"Huh..." Morais breathed a sigh of relief and ran out of the hotel room with a gun, planning to escape by smashing the window of the room in the opposite direction.
But as soon as he broke into the room of the resident opposite, he saw from the window a patrol troop coming towards him upon hearing the sound. If he broke the glass and went out at this time, he would definitely be discovered.
"Fuck!" Morais cursed, turned around and went down to the first floor. Ignoring the horrified looks of the tenants, he turned sideways to check the situation outside through the window.
The cavalry were about fifty meters away from him, guarding the store where Pissel was housed.
If you go out from the front now, you can join the fleeing crowd, but the direction of this hotel is being watched by the security platoon, so there is a high chance that he will be noticed when he goes out.
"I am a member of the Equality Society. I will not harm you. You can expose me after I leave, but please keep it quiet now." Morais comforted the frightened tenants and waiters, holding his sniper rifle tightly to think of a solution.
"Bang!"
Just when Morais had no countermeasures, a gunshot was heard outside, and a soldier from the cavalry platoon who was responsible for staring in the direction of the hotel was knocked to the ground. This move immediately attracted others to find cover from the other side.
"To the west! To the west!" A soldier judged the direction of the shooting and reminded his companions to be alert to the west.
"Bang!"
Another shot.
It was still coming from the west, and this shot once again contained more troops.
"Bell Tower! In the Bell Tower! The enemy is at the Bell Tower!" After the gunfire, the guard platoon saw the sniper on the clock tower to the west.
"Bang bang bang!" The cavalry began to counterattack decisively.
Bell tower?!
Isn't that where Diaz is?!
Morais was shocked.
He recalled the scene last night when a group of people were dressing up in disguise.
At that time, he decided that he was in the most dangerous position and stayed until the end to check whether the assassination was successful. Diaz firmly opposed it and proposed that he go to the east of the intersection to set up an ambush.
As the vice president of the Equality Association and the director of the combat department, Morais had to take the lead, so he rejected Diaz's application.
Diaz did not bring up the idea again after that. Morais thought everything would go according to plan. Unexpectedly, Diaz still decided to go forward and retreat with him, and did not leave like others after learning that Pisel was dead.
"This kid..." Morais didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
It is a good thing that someone is willing to stay until the end to cover his evacuation, but this also puts him in a dangerous situation.
The thought of staying in the hotel and resolutely resisting came to Morais' mind, but he did not do so.
This will only make his situation more serious and make Diaz reluctant to evacuate.
What he can do now is to seize the opportunity of Diaz to pin down the security platoon for him, disguise himself so that his true identity is not easily discovered, and there are still conditions for the crowd to escape outside, and leave the hotel in the chaos.
"Crack!"
The sniper rifle was thrown to the ground by Morais. He saw the right opportunity, ducked and left towards the street behind a citizen who happened to be passing by the hotel.
Diaz, who was far above the bell tower, saw a familiar figure leaving the hotel. He felt relieved and continued to strengthen his offensive to ensure that the guard platoon would not notice Morais.
"Whoosh!"
A bullet struck from the left and penetrated the stone wall of the bell tower.
Diaz turned his head and saw that the patrol had already arrived and was approaching from the road to his left.
"Bang! Bang!" Diaz said without changing his expression. After calmly firing all the bullets at the guard platoon, he changed the magazine to check the evacuation of others.
All other sniper spots were deserted.
Apart from the confrontation between him and the government troops, there were no other gun battles in the surrounding area. This shows that the evacuation of Adel and others went smoothly and they were not discovered by the patrol forces.
The most dangerous Morais is now off the most dangerous streets.
all is well.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The walls of the bell tower were constantly hit by bullets.
Diaz changed the magazine and loaded the bullets, and considered how to leave.
The guards were staring at the bell tower, and the patrol guards on the left road also discovered their position. It wouldn't take long for them to arrive around the bell tower and block all his escape routes.
It seemed it was too late to evacuate.
Gu Hui
Diaz sighed, hid behind the wall, held the gun, and looked at the sky opposite.
"It should be the east side..." He murmured to himself.
The east side is in the direction of Monrego.
Last night, Diaz had a strong premonition that something would happen tomorrow, and it would happen to him. With the regiment fortified everywhere, it was very unlikely that everyone could evacuate safely after assassinating Pisel. What's more, even if he failed to change positions with Morais, he was ready to cover Morais to the end and unconditionally protect Morais alive.
If there must be someone killed or injured, Diaz would like it to be him.
If it weren't for Verak, he would have died in an underground fighting arena last year. If it weren't for the Equality Society, he would never have seen the hope of changing his hometown.
"Oh."
Diaz laughed.
An hour ago, he was still thinking that one day he would return to Monrego and lead the suffering people of Monrego to a better future.
However, he did not feel any fear in the face of death.
There must be people who feel sorry for their sacrifice.
The Equality Association will definitely seize this opportunity to win.
Mengge will also definitely end the recurring chaos and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era.
"Crack." Diaz loaded his gun.
He never thought his death would be so valuable.
Sacrificing himself for the new world was the most peaceful and acceptable ending for him.
"Bang!"
Diaz stood up and fought against the patrol troops against the wall.
"We will win!"
The people present could not understand the roar in Monrego, but sooner or later the sound would reach Monrego thousands of miles away and become a reality.
——
noon
Equality Association Headquarters
Adel and the other three snipers had already returned and brought back the good news that Pissel was dead.
This means that other plans of the Equality Society will proceed as usual, and they have a glimmer of hope to control Lezein and Bresci in the next few years.
But Boyne, Verak, Keating, Nord, Murphy, Piaf and other people who stayed at the terminal were not in a hurry to cheer and celebrate.
Because of Morais, Diaz has not returned yet.
Logically speaking, Diaz should have evacuated at the same time as them, and he should have returned now. Morais stayed in the most dangerous position, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"It's okay. If anything happens to anyone, I won't believe that Morais, Diaz and the others will be in danger." Nord comforted beside Murphy.
"Yeah." This comfort did not ease Murphy's worries. He was always worried, and he couldn't even blink his eyes. He stood at the gate, looking at the end of the street, looking forward to the next moment of Diaz. It just appears from there.
Boyne, Verak, and Keating did not speak, and waited patiently with sullen faces.
Finally, a figure appeared at the street entrance.
Murphy's eyes suddenly brightened, then dimmed again.
"It's Morais!" Boyn said.
Everyone could not keep calm and waited for Morais to come, and they all rushed to greet him.
"Morais!"
"Vice President!"
Concerned voices came one after another.
Everyone gathered around Morais to make sure he was not injured.
"Are you okay?" Boyne asked.
"I'm fine." After Morais finished replying to Boyin, he looked at Murphy with some shame.
"Where's Diaz?" Verak asked immediately.
"Yes, you evacuated safely from the most dangerous position. Why hasn't Diaz come back?"
"Is he still on the way?"
Morais gasped hard and gritted his teeth and said, "He died."
Murphy's eyes flickered, and the life in his whole person seemed to be drained out in an instant. He was as pale as a dead person and stood there blankly.
Verak's face was ugly: "How could it be? What happened?"
"I was already in a desperate situation and there was no possibility of leaving alive... But Diaz did not evacuate immediately. Instead, he opened fire to attract the enemy's attention, restrained the enemy, and gave me a chance to evacuate." Molai.
Why didn't Si dare to look at each other for the first time? He dodged, unable to bear Murphy's empty eyes.
"Did you see him sacrifice with your own eyes?" Verak asked.
"When I left, he had been surrounded by patrol troops, and there was no possibility of survival..."
"Not necessarily, not necessarily." Verak shook his head and tried his best to think on the bright side, "He might also be caught by the government troops, right? If he is caught, we will have a chance to rescue him, just like before
Save Boyn, Ross and the others are the same. And our plans are unfolding. After slowly taking control of Laizein, we can secretly rescue him without even needing a strong attack."
Morais glanced at Verak and said nothing.
They all knew full well that Diaz would not be caught alive.
Even if the government had this idea, Diaz would not allow it.
Because comrades from the Equality Association were executed every day in Lezein Square, Diaz could not wait for the day of rescue. Instead, he might be found to have an unusual identity and be used to cause greater harm to Equality.
There's no way Diaz would allow this to happen.
"Charles, hasn't the Intelligence Department found out the information yet?" Boyne asked Charles beside him.
"Augustine Street is blocked. Our people can't get in for the time being. It may take a while," Charles said.
"Let's check again. I want the most accurate information."
"Understood." Charles left quickly.
"Murphy..." Nord was very worried about Murphy.
Morais is not good at words, and he feels guilty for Diaz. It can be said that Diaz sacrificed his own life for his. He doesn't know how to make Diaz's brother Murphy feel better.
Verak let out a breath, his shoulders sank, and his whole body immediately became slouched.
Last night Keating asked him if he wanted to go and see Diaz and the others before they set off, but he gave up the plan for fear of delaying Diaz and the others' schedule.
Unexpectedly, I would never see him again.
Diaz was the second companion he knew after Nord that he could trust. He didn't betray him even with hundreds of thousands of gold grams. He even returned to Monlego to save his younger brother and then came back to look for ways to save him.
method.
After everyone joined the Equality Society, Verak has been cultivating Diaz and giving him better opportunities, hoping that he can become the mainstay of the Equality Society like himself and see the new world come together.
"fine."
Murphy said.
The depressed people looked at Murphy.
Murphy didn't shed tears, and he couldn't detect any sadness, but there was no expression on his face anymore.
"I know what he wants, and I will help him get it done."
