118. Chapter 118 The mysterious wall on the negative floor
"This is indeed not in line with the rules..." An Guo touched his fleshy double chin in agreement. Just as Nan Susukian felt proud, An Guo suddenly asked: "Deputy Director Nan, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
?”
This time, Nan Botian was stunned. He just wanted to take revenge on Li Mengnan for preventing him from stepping down in front of everyone. He was opposed purely for the sake of opposition. He could not think of any suitable plan for a while.
What's more, the scene that happened in front of him was beyond the scope of his cognition. It would be an understatement to say that it subverted his world view. If he hadn't been sitting in the rear and surrounded by a large number of police protection, his performance would never have been better than that of screaming and escaping.
The police officers are calmer.
"We... can report this matter to the Provincial Police Department and ask them to send people to deal with it. Even if they can't solve it, they can still report it to the central government..." Minami Susukian had a long face that looked like he was severely constipated, and he barely gave it.
I came up with a fair opinion.
An Guo didn't comment, but still touched his chin and looked at him with amusement.
Minami Susukada felt a little guilty when Anguo saw it. To be fair, his idea was not an idea at all. It could only be regarded as following normal working procedures. The advantage was that he would not make any mistakes, but it was obviously not suitable for such a critical emergency situation.
Far water can't quench the near thirst. When the specialized personnel from the province or the central government arrive, the time wasted is enough for the lunatic inside to kill all the hostages more than a dozen times...if the other party has the bad habit of torturing corpses.
"Okay, since Director Security you trust this person, I respect your opinion."
No one who can get into this position is a fuel-saving lamp. Minami Susukada seems to be giving in, but in fact he has picked himself out with just one sentence. If the rescue is successful, he will have the credit of discerning people. If the rescue fails, all responsibility will be taken.
Anguo was the only one to carry it all.
Anguo naturally heard the little calculation in Nan Botian's words. He laughed twice without showing his attitude. He walked up to Li Mengnan, stretched out his fat palm and patted his shoulder and said: "Young man, everything is handed over to you."
I’ve given it to you, if you need anything, just ask.”
"Why don't you thank Director An?" Wu Ansu knew how much risk An Guo had taken to support Li Mengnan, so he hurriedly gave Li Mengnan a hard tug.
"Is there any mistake? You are begging me, and you actually asked me to thank you?" Li Mengnan pulled down his sleeves that were wrinkled by Wu Ansu, took out a cigarette and handed it to An Guo, smiling: "Old man, you and I are not relatives.
So, you just trust me so much?"
"A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor."
An Guo took the cigarette and let Li Mengnan light it for him. Yun Danfeng smiled softly, as if talking about trivial matters such as what to eat for dinner.
"I need a walkie-talkie and an assistant." Li Mengnan subconsciously glanced at Wu Ansu beside him and added: "It is best to be a woman."
The Anguo people are so old that they still don't understand what Li Mengnan means. Knowing that he is creating an opportunity for Wu Ansu to make a contribution, he smiles and nods: "Then let Comrade Xiao Wu go with you."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task."
Wu Ansu had long wanted to volunteer for this rescue mission. Hearing this, he was surprised and happy, and quickly issued a military order.
After Li Mengnan and Wu Ansu put on their micro walkie-talkies, someone brought them two pieces of stab-proof clothing. Wu Ansu was about to take them and put them on, but Li Mengnan reached out to stop them.
"There's no need to wear this thing, it won't dissipate heat and will affect your movements."
"It's better to put it on, the other party has a knife in his hand." Wu Ansu was still more cautious.
"Believe me, knives are not the most dangerous thing. If it were, it would be useless for you to drive an armored vehicle... In addition, it is best not to bring your gun."
Li Mengnan tried the effect of the walkie-talkie, jumped on the spot a few times to confirm that all parts were fixed firmly, turned around and walked out of the control room without any further explanation to Wu Ansu.
Wu Ansu hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Li Mengnan, put down his stab-proof clothing and pistol, and chased after him.
Hong Kong King Supermarket is just a medium-sized supermarket. The department stores on the five floors above the ground are the main business of this building located in the bustling downtown area, while the supermarket on the basement floor is just an add-on.
It is precisely because of this lack of attention to positioning that there were serious structural irrationalities in the design of this underground supermarket. The only public entrances were only two small escalators, and the space was extremely narrow. This also caused the police to investigate this time.
The rescue brought considerable trouble.
Stepping on the downward escalator, Li Mengnan pulled the microphone from his collar and reported: "Command, we have arrived at the entrance of the supermarket and will soon enter the negative floor. Please closely monitor the movements of the hijackers in the supermarket and notify us at any time."
"The command received that the hostage is still in the hands of the target. The target is touching the isolation layer with his hand. He seems to be shocked..."
Wu Ansu could also hear the surveillance information from the headquarters, and looked at Li Mengnan unexpectedly: "Then why did the hijacker react like this? Didn't he make those partition walls?"
"It should be him, but he hasn't realized it yet."
There were only about twenty steps on the small escalator from top to bottom, but the slow speed was really unbearable. Li Mengnan quickly ran down a few steps and landed in the lobby of the supermarket on the first floor.
Different from the vast space seen in the surveillance screen, it is not so much a lobby as a spacious corridor. Opposite the service desk, what should have been a transparent space facing the supermarket has now been covered by a thick layer of gray-yellow soil.
The wall is completely covered, from the ground to the ceiling, and even the central air-conditioning ducts above the head are wrapped in it, leaving no gaps. It is estimated that not even a mosquito can fly through.
"What the hell is this?"
Wu Ansu's face was filled with shock, just like when she saw the magnificent Great Wall for the first time. Although the scale was far less endless than the Great Wall, the incomprehensible mystery made people feel more awe and even fear.
Now she could finally understand why a male colleague with several years of police service would be frightened by a wall to the point of almost having a mental breakdown.
Wu Ansu tentatively reached out and touched the wall, which was dozens of meters long. The rough texture was very similar to the earthen walls she had seen in the countryside made of straw and yellow mud, but she pressed hard.
The buckle was found to be as hard as cement, and even after a few kicks, it didn't budge.
"This shouldn't be a real wall, right?"
Wu Ansu was actually not sure of her judgment. After all, the wall in front of her was so real that she even doubted that there really were so-called superpowers in this world.
"This is a wall formed by illusion. Theoretically, even if you bring an atomic bomb, it won't be able to explode, because this wall only exists in human imagination."
