The red fluorescent numbers are like a ghost, biting people's heels and running away.
Li Zan didn't have time to think too much. He reacted quickly and ran away. He crossed the freighter and followed the sound to the deckhouse.
There were a total of eight lights in the deckhouse, five of which were smashed in the chaos, and the remaining three were shaky and functioning as lighting. The engine room passage and the accommodation passage are both on the deckhouse, with the engine room below the deck and the accommodation above.
There were two people hiding in the cabin, and they would launch sneak attacks from time to time, which was annoying and dangerous.
Two bodies were lying on the upper deck, and the crew's clothing on them could be clearly identified under the shaky light.
The blood flowed from under the body along the grooves of the deck, and was diluted by the rain in an instant.
The thick black clouds suddenly exploded with a thick blue-purple lightning, thunder shook the earth, the waves were turbulent, the freighter swayed left and right, and its lights flashed.
The area of vision flickers on and off, accentuating the eerie atmosphere of the deckhouse.
Lin Xiu'e and others, as well as the Coast Guard, were hiding in blind spots. At this time, they stopped firing, each waiting for the opportunity to kill with one shot.
It's a pity that there is no time to waste.
Li Zan silently counted the seconds in his mind. At the same time, he pressed the gun with his left and right hands and raised his head to aim at the cabin. He released his left hand, held the Bluetooth headset and threw it to the open space on the upper deck.
The Bluetooth headset drew a perfect fan-shaped arc in the air, and passed the suddenly swinging light in a thrilling way.
With a click, the earphones fell to the ground.
Continuous gunfire suddenly exploded in the next second, artillery fire violently bombarded the deck, fire exploded like stars, and the smell of gunpowder smoke quickly filled the air.
At this point, the whereabouts of the two people who were hiding in the cabin and firing cold shots were exposed.
Because of the shooting angle, they had to stick their heads out and became bright targets.
Li Zan shot each one in the head.
The other one realized that he had been tricked, and immediately shouted angrily and moved his gun to point at Li Zan, who was in an exposed position.
Pulling the trigger, two gunshots sounded simultaneously.
One shot hit the container next to Li Zan, and the split shrapnel grazed his arm, and the blood instantly stained his sleeve red. The other shot was from the coast guard, and the remaining man in the cabin was shot in the head.
"Damn it!"
There were nine crew members left including Lin Xiu'e and the boss of the trading company. They found that four of their companions were dead and suffered a psychological collapse. They were still a little hesitant at first, but now they became completely cold and ruthless.
"If you don't want to die, fuck me hard!"
"Four of us died! If we don't kill them, we will be the next ones to die!!"
"Anyway, there is a dead end now. Let's kill them first and disarm them. There are still a few people on the ship. Take them as hostages. Kill these ones first."
Li Zan was very close to them and listened to the whole conversation, knowing that something was wrong.
The other party was so courageous that he even dared to kill the police, which shows that he was a vicious gangster and not an ordinary smuggling gang. In addition to Lin Xiu'e, other people might have died on their hands.
In this way, it will not be easy to escape immediately.
despair.
An extremely faint sound came from behind him. Li Zan quickly turned around and met the owner of the trading company's eyes. The two sides recognized each other immediately.
The owner of the trading company raised his gun and pulled the trigger: "It's you again? You're here just in time. I'll give you a ride."
……you?
The bullet grazed the iron plate and sparks flew everywhere.
Li Zan rolled into the gap in the container on the spot, got up and ran along the gap that turned to the left. He ran left and turned right through two container gaps and climbed to the top of the container.
After finding the coast guard's hiding place, he fired one or two shots to interfere with the crew's sight, then jumped down, ran to the coast guard and raised his police ID card just a second before the gun was pointed at his face.
"Come with me, Dongcheng District Criminal Police, we are tracking down Lin Xiu'e, the biggest suspect in a vicious corpse mutilation case."
The coast guard looked at the police ID card, confirmed it was correct, then removed the gun and asked: "Comrade, why are you risking your life on this boat?"
"Exciting." Li Zan grinned, and then said seriously: "The boss of this freighter is Lin Xiu'e. She is involved in two murder cases and a major smuggling case. But she cannot be arrested now, and everyone must retreat.
"
Coast Guard: "Why?"
"The latest type of time bomb is installed in the cargo hold and cannot be dismantled. The containers are all stow-away containers with weak side panels and are filled with flammable items. Once exploded, the entire cargo ship will be blown into two halves." Li Zan
Pause and count the time: "There should be 50 seconds left."
"Retreat immediately."
Without any hesitation, the coast guard turned back to the team members and said: "Withdraw the ship."
A coast guard was shot in the leg and was bleeding profusely. He was a young man and his face was too pale to look good.
Li Zan was afraid that he would lose too much blood, so he said: "After I cut off, I will send the injured comrade back first."
The coast guard who had spoken to him before looked at him with a moved expression, and soon changed to a determined expression.
Li Zan and two other coast guards attracted fire and attention, while another coast guard carried his injured colleague safely back to the ship's deck and quickly conveyed the latest news.
Lin Xiu'e and others were clinging to them, giving them no time to escape. Someone had to attract firepower at all times.
Li Zan behaved very calmly from beginning to end and became the commander without realizing it.
He said: "Smash the light and run to the cargo hold. When the light goes out, you two quickly retreat."
The coast guard asked: "What should you do?"
Li Zan: "Comrade, I have an idea." His tone was as relaxed as if he was playing house, and then he said seriously: "As soon as the ship returns, immediately!"
This is a time of racing against time, not a time for exchanging heart-to-hearts when death is imminent in TV dramas, so the two coast guard did not act sluggishly at all.
After the two landed safely on the deck, they quickly entered the main control room to report the situation. After weighing the pros and cons, the ship decided to loosen the cable and sail away from the impending explosion at a top speed of 23 knots.
"There is also a comrade, a criminal police officer, on the freighter!"
"He draws fire after the break and buys us time. We can't abandon him!"
The captain was an experienced squad leader and knew that the wisest choice was to make a choice, but he still asked the technical controller: "How long can we wait?"
Technical operator: "We have measured the power of the new bomb and the range and speed of the explosion of flammable materials... You can wait up to 15 seconds."
15 seconds - 00:25.
A certain container in the cargo hold was dazzling with blue and red fluorescence, and the numbers and beeps that dropped rapidly added to the terrifyingly empty and cramped space, adding a sense of imminent tension.
The sea breeze rushed in, passing through the cartons in the container, the gaps in the side panels, and the narrow road in the cargo hold, and suddenly rolled up the corners of Li Zan's navy blue clothes.
He was standing on the side of the ship, wearing a thin shirt. He had just taken off his coat and thrown it out to use it to attack the enemy.
The salty rain and sea breeze blew across his cheeks. Li Zan faced the muzzles of three black guns that surrounded him, counting down the seconds in his mind.
"Why don't you try to bribe me?" Li Zan's gun was out of bullets, and he said, "I can be a hostage."
23,22……
The owner of the trading company laughed: "Did you see that? This scumbag is afraid of death." He asked Lin Xiu'e: "Do you want to arrest him?"
Lin Xiu'e pointed the gun at Li Zan's forehead: "You are too cunning, you can only feel at ease if I kill you." After saying that, she pulled the trigger.
boom!
"Ah!" Lin Xiu'e screamed, covering her right hand that had been penetrated by a bullet. The three of them immediately fell into a mess. One of them was hit in the chest by two bullets and died without paying attention.
When Lin Xiu'e saw this, she ran into the cargo hold and disappeared out of sight.
The owner of the trading house was left staring in panic and fear as the gunman came out of hiding. When he saw the man's face clearly, his expression was distorted.
"Captain Li, are you still alive?" Jiang Heng smiled warmly and greeted him like an old friend in society: "I'm so happy."
Li Zan raised his eyelids, his eyes as cold as knives: "I'm not happy."
Jiang Heng smiled: "I'm sorry."
"..." He was obviously happier.
Li Zan jumped off the side of the ship, stuffed his gun back into his pocket, picked up Lin Xiu'e's dropped pistol and pointed it at the business owner: "Put down your gun now and be arrested, or be shot on the spot, choose one."
"Being, arrested... don't kill me." The business owner threw his gun and raised his hand.
Li Zan punched him hard in the stomach and dragged him away like a sack.
17,16……
"There is not enough time to return to the ship." Li Zan speeded up.
Jiang Heng led the way: "Jump into the sea and drive a speedboat."
The speed of small speedboats is no less than that of ships, the distance is short, and it does not waste time.
"Where is Zhang Hanhan?"
"On the speedboat." Jiang Heng jumped over the container and jumped onto the side of the ship, bent his knees and turned around: "Push him off first."
With his help, the owner of the trading company did not dare to have other thoughts. After tying the rope, he screamed and was kicked out of the sea.
Li Zan saw the blue speedboat parked on the sea, turned his head and looked at Jiang Heng, and guessed that he had just escaped to rescue Zhang Hanhan first.
Jiang Heng handed Li Zan a strong flashlight: "It was found in the cabin. The ship hasn't left yet and is waiting for you."
Li Zan took the strong flashlight and said, "Thank you."
"I'm happy to help others." Jiang Heng waved his hand: "I'll go down first."
After saying that, he grabbed the rope and jumped down. His body was as agile as an eagle. In the blink of an eye, he landed on the speedboat and fished out the business owner from the water.
After finishing everything, he waved in Li Zan's direction.
14,13……
Li Zan turned on the strong flashlight and turned it on and off three times in the direction of the ship, then grabbed the rope and jumped off, landing steadily on the blue speedboat.
At the same time, the ship's scout spotted a bright light in the distance. He put down his telescope and reported to the main control room: "It was discovered that our criminal police comrades had left the freighter and boarded a blue diesel speedboat."
In the main control room, the coastguards looked happy.
The old squad leader ordered: "! Turn! Move forward at full speed!"
The ship turned and moved forward at full speed. The blue speedboat started its motor and fled at full speed.
The ink-colored waves splashed several meters high, and the sea surface was undulating, roaring and roaring with wind, rain, thunder and lightning. A speedboat and a ship sped away from the cargo ship, and more than seven requisitioned private speedboats sailed quickly in the harbor waters. Beitian Port Coast Guard supported
The team rushed towards them at top speed, and the vehicles of the Mingwan District Fire Brigade beeped like thunder as they speeded down the driveway.
Lin Xiu'e hid in the cabin, gathered her money and planned to escape in the ship's speedboat.
11,10,9……00:03,00:02,00:01.
Di. Di. Di.
00:00.
boom――
A loud bang overshadowed the thunder that nearly tore the sky, shaking the entire sea level as if it were shaking, followed by a series of shocking loud noises that shook the soul. The water on the sea surface seemed to be drenched with a layer of oil, which would ignite if touched by fire.
The dazzling and bewitching fire covered the eyes of everyone who saw this scene.
The explosion started from a container in the middle of the cargo hold. A small impact cut through the carton and shattered the glass bottle. The liquor flowed to the floor, and a spark caught it. It burned quickly with a bang, and the rapidly expanding space formed a large explosive barrel. Continue to boom
——', the cracked iron sheet split the container, ignited the liquor and tobacco, and caused a chain reaction of devastating explosions.
The freighter groaned in fear and weakness, and the container turned into weak and helpless ants, shattered into countless metal sheets and flew out in the explosion. It could either insert itself into the freighter, turn into a blade and cut it into pieces, or bounce into the freighter.
The sea sinks.
The horrific, disaster-like scene was enough to shake the Guangdong Municipal Council.
