"Head, I have found traces of Winter here and have located his location..."
Suddenly a silly voice came from the headset. The intelligence analysis team she led has never been idle, constantly analyzing all kinds of intelligence, including not only the location of the bomb, but also the location where the syndicate may be hiding.
.
"Ghost, you are of no use here. Let CTU cooperate with you and go to the place Becky mentioned..."
"receive."
The ghost agreed and left with the people. They were combatants, and there was really no use staying here. They might as well split up into two groups and raid the Syndicate's stronghold.
…
"I, I can't, my legs are stiff..."
It happened that at this time, something happened with the black driver.
The black driver was covered in sweat. Normally, he would have been able to drive for several hours without any problem. However, after knowing that there was a bomb in the car, his body had been in a state of high tension. He had only been driving for a while, and his legs were already stiff.
.
"Let me do it..."
Owen originally wanted to go on his own, but Sarah Fisher volunteered.
"You will be responsible for evacuating the hostages later. Trust me, I can do it..."
Looking at Sarah Fisher's firm gaze, Owen nodded.
The two had a difficult exchange, but Sarah kept her foot on the accelerator, and finally succeeded in replacing the black driver without any danger.
"There is a sharp turn ahead, please be careful..."
Tony in the sky acted as a navigator, and Sarah nervously looked at the big curve in front of her. She encountered such a big problem as soon as she took over.
Owen also calculated the surrounding environment, the angle of the curve, and the speed of the bus in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion.
It is impossible for a bus to make a turn at 50 kilometers per hour. It will definitely overturn. If it wants to make a turn, it must slow down, but the deceleration bomb will explode.
"Dom, it's up to you..."
"got it."
Both of them are masters of drag racing, and Dom knows what he needs to do without having to say it explicitly.
"Sarah, hold on to the accelerator, don't let go..."
Owen warned, and then he and Sarah took hold of the steering wheel, and then turned the steering wheel hard just before entering the curve.
The bus tires squealed, and the passengers in the carriage screamed in fear. All of them were arranged to sit on the outer seats to gain weight when cornering.
Under the control of Sarah and Owen, the bus drifted in the curve at a speed of 55 per hour. Under the huge centripetal force, the outer wheels lifted off the ground, and the bus might roll over at any time.
At this moment, Dom's motorcade moved.
Except for the shield car, the other vehicles accelerated suddenly, led by Dom's Ford GT40, and hit the inside of the bus with their side skirts one after another.
Yes, they are using the impact of the vehicle to offset the centripetal force of the bus.
After successive impacts, the bus finally did not overturn. Owen could feel the bus's center of gravity returning and the outer wheels returning to the ground again.
Hoho~~~
The excited roar of Dom's team came from the headset, and the bus successfully turned the corner.
Owen glanced at the speedometer, which showed that the speed was 51. He and Sarah looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief, both feeling a sense of joy in surviving the disaster.
But the matter is not over yet, they have only survived the first crisis, the hostages have not been rescued, and the bomb is still under their butts.
"Start working..."
Dom's voice filled with emotion sounded in the headset again. Seeing a long straight road ahead, it was the best time to save people.
Dom took the lead, and the Ford GT40 accelerated and soon became parallel to the bus door. Dom controlled the car to synchronize with the bus, and then gave Owen a thumbs up.
Owen saw Dom's signal, picked up the first passenger and threw him out.
Amid a burst of panicked shouting, the passenger landed accurately on the passenger seat. Dom turned the steering wheel and the car fell behind, out of Irving's sight. Then, Brian drove a Mazda rx7 and drove up.
The same operation, the hostage accurately fell into the co-pilot, the second hostage was rescued, the Mazda RX7 left, Roman's Chevrolet Corvette came up, then Han's Nissan GTR, Vince's Bugatti Veyron...
The rescue was carried out in an orderly manner. One vehicle rescued a hostage, put down the hostage at the rear, and then accelerated to catch up again.
Tony's nervousness finally relaxed after seeing this scene in the sky. The reporters on the live broadcast helicopter were shouting excitedly, constantly exaggerating the atmosphere.
The media person knows how to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. According to him, it takes such superb driving skills and strong psychological quality to successfully complete this rescue. If you are not careful, you will end up with a car crash and death.
There is also a bomb on the bus that could explode at any time.
He pointed out all kinds of subtle points one by one, which made the audience in front of the TV feel happy.
Only then did people across the United States realize how much danger was behind this seemingly simple rescue. They felt as if they had personally experienced a Hollywood blockbuster. Everyone was sweating for the rescue operation. The rescue of every hostage was...
A temptation on the edge of life and death.
The driver must accurately synchronize with the bus, and the hostage must accurately land on the co-pilot. These two steps may seem extremely simple, but when you think about it carefully, most people admit that they absolutely cannot do it.
Except for a few sports car owners who recognized that the convertible sports car was their favorite car, most Americans were mesmerized by the sight.
The hostages were rescued one by one, and soon only Owen and Sarah were left in the carriage.
Owen found a wooden stick to hold against the accelerator and replaced Sarah. The speed of the car changed somewhat, and Brian outside immediately made adjustments simultaneously.
"Believe me……"
Owen looked into Sarah's eyes and Sarah nodded.
Then Owen picked her up and threw her towards the Mazda RX7 waiting outside.
Sarah accurately fell into the passenger seat, Brian made a signal, and the car left.
…
Somewhere, several people from Omega lined up on both sides of the gate of a small courtyard. The ghost made a gesture, his heart beat louder and louder, and the vise in his hand cut the chain lock on the gate.
The team filed in and approached the villa inside. At the same time, at the main entrance of the villa, CTU's raid team also climbed over the wall and approached the main building under the cover of the shade of the trees.
The villa was quiet. Two teams waiting at the front and back doors broke in at the same time, but it was empty inside.
The CTU raid team went to search the second floor, while Ghost and his team members stared at the phone on the table in confusion.
The phone was still lying alone on the table, placed in an unreasonable position. A trace of doubt arose in Ghost's heart. If he guessed correctly, this phone was the key to Sha Baitian's location here.
There was an announcement of "no one" on the second floor, and people came down one after another. It didn't look like anyone had been here. Suddenly, the ghost noticed a small device on the door. The small device seemed to be connected with wires.
Following the trajectory of the wire, the ghost soon discovered that the final trajectory disappeared under the table, bent down, and then the ghost's eyes widened. There was a large amount of C4 there, and there were only a few seconds left in the countdown.
"Bomb, withdraw..."
The ghost shouted, and the people evacuated quickly. As soon as people ran out of the villa, the bomb exploded, and they were blown away by the shock wave.
…
In the vault, an alarm on Solomon Lane suddenly beeped, and a smile appeared on his face, which meant that the trap he had set had been triggered.
News about the hostage rescue was being played on the TV in the vault security room. Ryan watched with interest as Dom's motorcade approached the bus. The figures of the first hostage and Owen appeared at the door of the bus. The close-up shot provided by the live broadcast could be clearly seen.
to see it all.
Seeing that the first hostage was about to be rescued successfully, Solomon Lane made a phone call with a smile, and the live broadcast showed a close-up shot. Lane was ready to let the people of the United States witness the death of the hostage with their own eyes.
The call was dialed but could not be connected. Ryan's expression changed slightly. He tried several times and it remained the same. Finally, he finally determined that CTU must have used some method to prevent the bomb from being detonated remotely.
…
"Owen, the operation failed. This is simply a trap set by the Syndicate..."
Suddenly a ghostly voice came from the headset.
"Is everyone okay?"
Owen asked with concern.
"Everyone is okay, it's just that some members of CTU's assault team were slightly injured..."
"That's good."
Owen was relieved to hear that he was okay.
"I'm very sorry."
Becky's somewhat guilty voice came from the headset. It was her mistake. Fortunately, she was not injured.
"It's okay, Becky, you've done a great job."
"How are you doing there?"
The ghost asked again in the communication channel.
"Not bad, the hostages have left, and I will leave soon."
Owen laughed to himself. Although the Syndicate was not caught, at least the hostages were successfully rescued. However, Owen was still a little unhappy. This was obviously a cover-up. They still don't know what the Syndicate's purpose was.
Outside the bus, Dom was ready and gave Owen a thumbs up.
Owen saw Dom and suddenly thought of something.
"Dom, let me ask you a question, if you were given a reagent that could quickly dissolve granite, what would you do?"
The question Irving asked made everyone in the communication channel stunned, including Dom. Dom and his group couldn't figure out why Irving asked such a strange question. People on the Omega and TU sides knew about dissolving granite.
What happened to the reagent, they wondered why Owen asked Dom.
But before Dom could answer, Tony's anxious voice came from the headset.
"Shet, Owen, there's an accident on the overpass in front, a lot of cars are stuck there..."
Tony has always acted as a navigator in the sky. When he was in the city, there were police officers who could arrange routes in advance. Since he got on the highway, the police officers were of little use.
Tony looked at the traffic jam ahead. It seemed to be caused by a car breaking down. The three lanes turned into two lanes, and there were a lot of cars blocked behind.
This cannot continue. Once the bus rams into traffic, the casualties from the explosion will increase exponentially.
But he had no choice but to watch helplessly as the bus approached the traffic at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Owen also saw the traffic in front of him, and he knew the risks of allowing the bus to continue. Owen's brain was thinking rapidly, thinking about all the possibilities to get out of the current predicament.
He looked at the roadbeds on both sides, and it seemed that there was only one way at the moment.
"Dom, help me, I need to get the bus out of the embankment..."
Owen shouted, and Dom agreed. The Ford GT40 accelerated violently, overtaking the bus, and ran into the distance. Then it drifted in the distance and stopped firmly against the roadbed, with the front of the car pointing in the direction of the bus.
At the same time, Irving turned the steering wheel and pointed the front of the bus in the direction of the GT40. Several other cars behind him lined up in a long queue, with the head of each car on the parking space of the previous one, and the leading car was positioned in the parking space of the previous one.
On the butt of the bus, pushing against the bus and accelerating forward.
All this happened in just a moment. They were already very close to the traffic jam. Irving only had time to correct his direction and sprinted towards the back of the car.
The next second, under the huge driving force, the front of the bus collided with the GT40. The front of the bus tilted up and followed the GT40 all the way up. The streamlined body of the GT40 perfectly created a gentle slope between the road surface and the road shoulder, and the bus flew out along the gentle slope.
On the highway.
The screech of brakes sounded, and the shielded vehicle and Dom's motorcade all came to a stop. Owen flew out of the rear window of the bus, barely landing on Brian's front windshield.
The bus kept falling, and finally left the signal range of the shielded bus. The call Ryan had been dialing was finally connected, just at the moment the mobile phone rang.
Boom~~
The bus that flew off the viaduct exploded into pieces in the air. The fragments of the explosion shot up, and then slowly fell down again.
…
"Oh my God, the bus exploded. Audience friends, we can clearly see that the bus exploded. All the hostages inside should have been rescued. TU's hostage rescue operation was successful. You can see the traffic jam ahead.
, I’m afraid they don’t know that they have just walked on the edge of life and death. Just imagine, if the bus rushes into traffic, you can imagine the consequences..."
The only media that is allowed to broadcast live must have a close relationship with TU. While reporting, it also did not forget to sing praises to TU.
Two helicopters were hovering in the air, and people kept coming out of the jammed traffic not far away, looking strangely at the wreckage of the explosion under the viaduct.
Brian's Mazda RX7 slowly stopped in front of the Ford G40, and Owen sat on the front hood completely exhausted. Dom came over and said, "The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States..."
"What?"
Owen was confused.
"The question you asked me, what would I do if I got a reagent that could dissolve granite, my big case is, I would raid the underground vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York."
"The underground vaults of the New York Fed? Why?"
"The underground vault of the New York Federal Reserve is actually a hole dug by the Americans in the granite layer. This hole is 15 meters lower than sea level and about 10 meters lower than the New York subway system. The vault is surrounded by granite, because the granite layer is extremely hard.
, so you don’t have to worry about thieves and robbers digging holes into the vault. Don’t ask me why I know it in such detail, haha, because I have also made plans to go there, but I finally gave up because I couldn’t break through the solid granite layer.
"
"Take me to the Federal Reserve, quickly, quickly..."
Owen was enlightened, and Dom's words awakened the dreamer. At the same time, Tony's panicked scream also sounded from the communicator: "Fuck, their target is the underground vault of the Federal Reserve, everyone, immediately
