After hearing Sun Xiao's answer, the man holding the cigarette butt took a few steps forward, and his face emerged from the darkness.
He has an ordinary appearance and is not very eye-catching, but if Cheng Lin were here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance. This is Hu Rui, the leader of the second team of the Ninth Division stationed in Lien City.
The two first "met" during the "Maelstrom" deduction, and later fought side by side in the real-life Desert Projection Operation.
"Maybe it's difficult to deploy manpower," Hu Rui said casually, then smiled and chatted, "Speaking of which, you just graduated, right? When I first heard that it was your eight groups who came to support, I thought
Team leader Shi will lead the team."
Sun Xiao explained: "Team leader Shi was injured in an accident before, and the team got along better during the previous disaster relief, so I was sent here."
After saying this, a trace of confusion appeared on Sun Xiao's no longer immature face.
Until now, he has not really "accepted reality".
He almost didn't know how he spent the whole day.
From the disbelief, disbelief, and instinctive denial after hearing the "news", to later, as time passed, I was shaken a little bit, and then when the dust of the "open letter" settled, the last bit of hope disappeared...
It all happened so fast that he couldn't cope with it at all.
It wasn't until the eighth group received the order that he was forcibly pulled out of his confused state by his teammates and rushed all the way to Lian City.
Along the way, Sun Xiao thought a lot, from acquaintance with Cheng Lin to their acquaintance in the past six months.
He was extremely certain that the disaster projected this time was definitely not Cheng Lin's intention, but he also understood that with the current situation, no matter what happened, the outcome could not be reversed.
The anger of the whole world, as well as the interests-based goals of countless forces, converged together, like a prison from which there was no escape, falling from the sky.
However, he never thought that he would become a part of this cage.
"That's right." Hu Rui glanced at Sun Xiao, moved the cigarette butt with her lips, and then finally didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.
Then he exhaled a puff of smoke, turned to look at the "fire net" neatly arranged on both sides, and had a solemn atmosphere. He changed the topic and said with a slight mocking tone: "I really don't understand why so many soldiers came here.
Do you really expect to use bullets against a seventh-level person?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a serious and cold voice:
"We really don't know if the bullet can keep him alive, but I'm sure you guys can't."
Sun Xiao and Hu Rui heard the sound and looked over, and saw an officer about thirty years old walking over.
His appearance was unfamiliar, his waist was very straight, and his face was angular, making him look a little too cold.
The person in charge of this team, who was transferred from nearby, walked straight over on his leather shoes, looked at the two of them, and added coldly:
"Moreover, the target has hijacked an entire train. When the train arrives, there is a high probability of causing riots. We are here to at least reassure the passengers."
"Even if it's peace of mind that has no practical effect?" Hu Rui subconsciously refuted it in her heart, but she still didn't say it out rationally. She just curled up the cigarette butt in her mouth and said in a dry tone, "Okay, but it's just
I hope the passengers won’t be frightened by your guns and the like..."
The officer didn't answer anything, but suddenly pointed at the team on one side and urged him a few times loudly. His voice was loud and clear, and it was particularly clear outside the silent and cold station square.
The night was completely dark, leaving only the bright white street lamps shining brightly.
Sun Xiao squinted his eyes in a daze, staring intently at a nearby street lamp in the square.
Breathing the cool breeze of the winter night, he seemed to see countless dust floating in the halo.
"Team Leader Hu, Deputy Team Leader Sun, the target is about to be reached, let's discuss the next action?" After the officer finished shouting, he looked away and said seriously.
"What's your opinion?"
Facing this man, Hu Rui looked at Sun Xiao and said nothing, so she could only speak by herself.
He threw the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground, stamped it out, and then asked.
"According to the information we know, the target is obviously to leave the country from Liancheng Port and abscond abroad. The biggest problem at present is that he has hijacked a large number of passengers, and the urban environment is complex...The target has a strong attack
sex."
"So, I analyze that when the train arrives at the station, panicked passengers will flock out, and in order to hide themselves, the target will definitely blend in among the passengers... This is not difficult, it just needs to be properly disguised, but I believe you are special
Risi should have a way to identify his location..."
Seeing that Hu Rui, Sun Xiao and others did not refute, he continued:
"Then, the difficulty is that the target is mixed with a large number of passengers, which will prevent us from carrying out a coverage attack. Ha, this is also the cunning of the suspect... However, since his goal is to escape the country, he will inevitably go to
He fled towards the port, and the nearby streets have been cleared under martial law... My opinion is that we can divert passengers by then and ask them to gather near us and not leave without authorization... And the target may abscond alone or abscond with hostages.
At this time, everyone needs to be restrained..."
"Wait a moment."
Just when the officer was talking about his plan, Hu Rui raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said:
"I think you may have misunderstood one issue, that is, our mission here is to cooperate with the arrest team of Division 1, and the main task is to ensure the safety of personnel, not to arrest... This is not our purpose,
It’s not yours either.”
"What do you mean, Team Leader Hu?"
"Our idea is very simple, focus on stability, don't irritate the target, and leave the rest to the capture team of the First Division. Well, I just contacted the headquarters and said that they will arrive soon and should go directly to the port.
, conduct a blockade." Hu Rui said, touched Sun Xiao with his arm, and said, "Team Leader Sun, do you think so?"
"So you mean not to do any attack? Then why are we here?"
The officer's face darkened slightly before Sun Xiao could speak.
"That's not what I meant..." Hu Rui was about to retort when suddenly she felt her arm being grabbed.
Immediately, I heard Sun Xiao, who was always staring ahead, say in a low voice:
"The car is here."
The two of them were startled at the same time, and both turned their heads to look ahead. Then, they faintly heard the noise of a moving train in the dead-silent night.
"The target is about to arrive at the terminal! The target is about to arrive at the terminal! All departments and units! Get ready to respond immediately!!"
At the same time, the walkie-talkies on several people rang almost at the same time!
Hearing this stern voice, the officer immediately gave up communicating and turned around to immediately command his troops. Hundreds of lapels from the 2nd and 8th Groups of the Nine Divisions were also shocked and stepped forward from the darkness.
Come.
A pair of eyes turned to Sun Xiao and Hu Rui, and at the same time they subconsciously grasped the weapons.
"Be alert! Follow my orders! No one is allowed to make any form of attack without authorization! Do you hear me?!"
Sun Xiao suddenly turned around, looked at the monks of the eight action teams, and issued an order as the temporary leader.
Behind him, the monks from Ningcheng all stood solemnly and responded in unison.
Next to him, Hu Rui also issued similar instructions.
Then, these hundreds of Ninth Division monks all looked ahead nervously and blankly, but their eyes were invariably and extremely complicated!
"Rumble..."
In this heavy and solemn atmosphere, the sound of the high-speed train became clearer and louder, like a beast running from a distance.
Time seemed to slow down extremely slowly, and there was no one left in the station, which was extremely deserted.
As the train slowed and then finally came to a stop, conductors inside opened the metal doors.
Then, in one car after another, countless panicked and frightened people were seen frantically scrambling to escape from the small car doors.
The deserted platform was suddenly filled with the noise of fear and anger.
And as passengers rushed out one after another, the huge platform was suddenly filled with people.
Some of these people were carrying luggage, or they were carrying nothing at all. They were crowded and running down the stairs, like a torrent of collapse, pouring out of the exit.
And when those thousands of people rushed to the square and saw the countless black muzzles pointed at them, they screamed instinctively.
"Don't panic, everyone, please go to the central area of the square in an orderly manner! All passengers are prohibited from leaving without authorization and come to us! Don't panic, everyone..."
At the same time, behind the human wall composed of shields and firearms, loudspeakers came out one after another, repeating orders loudly.
The flow of people suddenly rushed out from the only gap nervously and urgently, at an extremely fast speed. During this period, many people were simply knocked down in the crowd, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"Team Leader Hu, Team Leader Sun! Where is the target? Tell us where the target is immediately?"
In the chaos, searchlights flashed across the crowded square, and the officer ran over and shouted hurriedly.
In each of the two groups, there were two monks of the perception department who turned on their powers and performed induction - reflecting the energy of Cheng Lin's seventh-level realm, it was difficult to hide it under the professional detection of powers.
However, after a moment, the monks gave an almost unanimous answer:
"Cheng...Target, the target is not in the crowd, he...is still on the train! The position has not moved!"
"What? Impossible!" The officer was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "How could he not come out at such a good opportunity?"
"Who says he will definitely act according to your ideas?" Sun Xiao, who had always been silent, suddenly glanced at him, and then said in a cold tone, "Do you really think he will try to blend in with the crowd? Just to avoid you guns.
?”
…
…
At the same time, the entire station square was in chaos.
In the empty carriage, Cheng Lin was still sitting quietly in his seat, holding his mobile phone and browsing the news on the Internet.
On the seat to his left was a communicator with satellite positioning function issued to him by the company.
"Huh." Feeling the headache-inducing noise gradually fade away, Cheng Lin exhaled, then turned off the phone and put it in his pocket.
Under the induction of his spiritual tentacles, there was no one else in the entire train except him.
"Not bad, at least it's quiet enough." Cheng Lin smiled, and then the exquisite scene appeared in his eyes, and the scene in the square appeared in his mind along with his mental tentacles.
He also felt a few prying eyes coming from his supernatural powers, presumably from his small lapels.
Cheng Lin ignored it and just waited quietly.
It wasn't until almost all the passengers in the square had evacuated that he slowly stood up, picked up the communicator, stuffed it into his coat pocket, and got out of the carriage.
The platform was extremely cold, with not a single person in sight, and only straight street lamps standing dutifully in the cold winter night.
Cheng Lin stuffed his hands into his pockets and walked slowly towards the exit of the station, his steps not hasty or slow.
If someone just looked at his demeanor and steps, they would never think that he was a "fugitive".
He did not blend into the crowd as the officer expected.
As for the reason, it is extremely simple. It does not stem from "pride of the seventh-level realm" or "feeling confident", but just because... he thinks it is too noisy.
Yes.
Too noisy.
The scene with so many people swarming out can only be described as noisy?
Well, if I had to add another reason, it would probably be to prevent people from being overly frightened.
Just like Cheng Lin said, until now, he still feels that he is probably, maybe, maybe... not a bad person.
"call."
Thinking about this, Cheng Lin walked down the stairs, walked through the corridor, breathed in the cold air, and finally walked out of the station and arrived at the square.
The moment he walked out, Cheng Lin was keenly aware of the intensive friction sounds of firearms, as if they were moving to take aim. At that moment, countless muzzles locked onto him.
"Target has appeared!"
And as a serious, nervous, and slightly excited shout came from the loudspeaker, it spread in the square, and the high-intensity searchlights fixed on the vehicles behind the "human wall" swept over.
.
Like a sharp sword.
In an instant, they overlapped each other, illuminating a large area with Cheng Lin as the center, and the originally dark corners were illuminated in detail.
The light was so bright that even Cheng Lin subconsciously squinted his eyes, and his face reflected whiter than the snow.
"Oh."
In the center of the spotlight, feeling the grand treatment and the emotional tension of the young soldiers holding guns, Cheng Lin finally couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
The laughter was neither cold nor sarcastic. It was very light and indifferent. However, it spread easily throughout the huge square and appeared clearly in everyone's ears.
Hearing this laughter, at the "gap" in the defense line that had become empty again, Sun Xiao's fists suddenly clenched and his lips were slightly opened, as if he was trying his best to suppress some emotion in his heart.
At this moment, he almost couldn't help but want to ask Cheng Lin all the confusion in his heart in public, trying to figure out what happened.
However, after more than half a year of experience, he is no longer the careless young man he was before.
On the side, Hu Rui, the leader of the second team, also moved his eyes and his mood fluctuated to a certain extent.
The most obvious one was the young officer.
When he heard Cheng Lin's chuckle, he felt a fire in his heart for some unknown reason. It was as if he was exerting all his strength but was not taken seriously by anyone at all.
provocative!
This is a clear provocation!
This idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Even though the laughter did not contain this emotion, in his opinion, after Cheng Lin and all the "hostages" left, the very act of a person walking towards him was a kind of insult to him, his subordinates, and even to him.
To provoke the entire Xia Kingdom behind him!
How could a sinner who committed an unpardonable crime and caused the death of hundreds of thousands of citizens not feel any guilt at all? Not only did he not plead guilty to the law, but he was so... so... "arrogant"?
He was confused and angry.
In the darkness, his young face flushed with anger, his teeth were gritted hard, and there seemed to be fire burning in his eyes. He took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, then looked at Sun Xiao and Hu Rui, and quietly took the
He picked up the intercom and whispered the order:
"Everyone, aim, listen to my orders, prepare..."
Before he could finish speaking, the arm holding the walkie-talkie was suddenly grasped by a hand. He was startled, turned his head, and saw Hu Rui, leader of the second team of the Jiusi Division, staring at him with cold eyes:
"What do you want to do? Don't forget what we discussed before!"
Not to be outdone, the young officer looked back, gritted his teeth, and whispered:
"The situation and plans have changed. Of course, we have to act according to the circumstances. Now, he is the only one in the whole square. This is a God-given opportunity! I know what you want to say. Are you going to say that I don't understand the strength of the seventh-level realm? No,
I understand better than you think! People in the seventh level are human too! They will die in the face of hot weapons! The order given to me by the top is to rescue passengers, capture fugitives, and kill them if necessary!"
"But he is not an ordinary seventh-level person!" Hu Rui's expression changed and he said.
"Not ordinary? Tell me what's not ordinary? You killed a lot of people, so it's not ordinary? Team Leader Hu! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! This fugitive was originally from your Ninth Division, and your Special Division usually
We can't control the shortcomings, but this time is different! He is a wanted criminal in the country! I hope you clearly understand your position! Don't be confused!" the young officer said with sharp eyes.
After saying that, he looked at Hu Rui's changing face, used his arms to pull his hand away, then looked forward and picked up the walkie-talkie again: "Get ready to listen to my orders..."
"Shut up!" At this moment, Sun Xiao, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.
At the same time, he took a step forward and came behind the young officer. The arm hanging by his side suddenly lifted up and touched his waist.
Immediately, the young officer felt something cold and hard pressing against his body.
His eyes suddenly widened, and the words in his throat suddenly stopped and he could no longer speak.
He lowered his head in disbelief and saw the pistol held by Sun Xiao against his body, as well as the latter's cold, hungry wolf-like eyes.
If Hu Rui's eyes were just cold before, now, Sun Xiao's eyes were filled with almost undisguised murderous intent!
It seems that as long as he dares to give an order, he really dares to shoot!
"Sun Xiao...you...are you crazy?!" The young officer's eyes widened and he spoke through his teeth.
He never expected that this young lapel who didn't talk much would actually do such a thing.
Hu Rui was next to him with cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He no longer cared about Cheng Lin and went to pull him, but only heard Sun Xiao say coldly: "Don't touch me!"
"Don't be impulsive." Hu Rui was also a little anxious. Because his movements were hidden, the situation here did not attract the attention of the people around him. Only the lapels standing nearby noticed something was wrong.
"I'm not impulsive." Sun Xiao said in an emotionless voice.
"Then what are you doing? Helping fugitives? Do you also want to rebel..." The officer said angrily before he was interrupted by Sun Xiao, "I'm just obeying orders."
After a pause, under the puzzled gaze of the other party, Sun Xiao said:
"You have your orders, and we also have ours. According to the headquarters' orders, the arrest of prisoners must be done under the premise of ensuring the safety of the people. But I think now is not the right time."
"Where are the people here?"
"Why not?" The corner of Sun Xiao's mouth suddenly raised, revealing a smile without a smile, and pointed at the passengers who were hiding behind the defense line and gathered for protection, "Isn't that what they are? Seventh-level realm takes full action, even if
Facing a hail of bullets can cause great damage, I'm just... thinking about safety!"
