Chapter 11 My Terrible Roommate
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Xing Tian became increasingly speechless as he listened, and had to interrupt, "Why would I need to watch the show? I am the show you're looking for. We're all trapped inside this building right now. Old Ding just called me and almost got me killed."
"My God, boss, you must be joking with me, right?" Xiaobai didn't believe it at all.
"Who has time to joke with you? Jun and I just killed two robbers and are being chased by other robbers. We don't even know if we'll make it out alive."
"Kill, kill, you really killed someone?? Why, why didn't you call the police?"
Xing Tian's words really frightened Xiao Bai, and he started to speak incoherently.
For ordinary people in peaceful countries, killing is always a fearful and terrifying word.
"Call the police? Ha, they're all outside surrounding it. The car's probably riddled with bullets. I'd like them to come and rescue us, but they'd have to be able to get in."
Xing Tian complained helplessly, not wanting to talk any further. He finally instructed, "I still need to figure out how to survive, so I won't waste my time with you. Don't call Lao Ding, or you'll get him into trouble."
After finishing his sentence, Xing Tian hung up the phone and began to recall the techniques his brother had taught him, as well as the content he had read in the book, and familiarize himself with the AK47 he had just acquired.
Adjusting the fire selector, the safety position, how to load the magazine, how to chamber a round...
These are the basic skills for shooting smoothly.
"We still need to contact Lao Ding. He called us earlier, which proves he has access to his phone now, but he only made one call and then stopped, which might not be very safe. Should I send him a text message to check first?" Chen Jun suggested.
"Okay, we'll do it your way..."
As Xing Tian spoke, he fiddled with his rifle. Without noticing, he pulled the bolt handle, and a loaded bullet was ejected, startling him into swallowing the rest of his words. He frantically tried to catch the ejected bullet.
"Be careful, don't let it go off accidentally and give us away. If we do, we'll have nowhere to run."
Chen Jun was also startled. He reached out and caught the bullet in mid-air, then threw it back to Xing Tian, his face showing lingering fear.
The bandits don't know where the two of them went, so they have to split up and search for them in the surrounding area.
But if Xing Tian were to fire his gun here, it would be like lighting a bright lamp in the darkness, and all the bandits would swarm towards it.
That would be a huge problem!
"I just got it, so I'm not familiar with it yet. I'll be more careful next time." Xing Tian smiled awkwardly and became even more cautious in his movements.
Chen Jun took out his phone, found Ding Xiang's number, and sent him a text message: "Old Ding, where are you? Is it convenient to call? Reply as soon as you see this."
Less than ten seconds after the text message was sent, Chen Jun's phone started vibrating.
It was Lao Ding calling.
Chen Jun immediately pressed the call button. Old Ding didn't speak, but all that could be heard were cries, the bandits' shouts and curses, and the clearer sound of police sirens.
These sounds are easily identifiable as originating from the group of hostages in the lobby on the first floor.
"Old Ding is quite clever. He can tell us his situation without saying a word. He's probably on the first floor, being controlled like everyone else."
Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief, at least it proved that Lao Ding was still alive.
There is hope as long as you're not dead.
"Sigh, I hope he has good luck."
Xing Tian sighed deeply; offering his blessings was the only thing he could do.
The kind of "awesome operation" in movies where the protagonist, with just a gun, takes on a group of enemies, kills them all, and rescues all the hostages.
For battlefield novices Xing Tian and Chen Jun, it was practically science fiction.
"What do we do next?"
Having temporarily escaped danger, Chen Jun calmed down and decided to work with Xing Tian to make some serious plans.
"Now that we have guns, we're not panicking. Fighting them head-on is too risky. I think it's best to find a safe place to hide. These bandits can't stay here forever, otherwise they'll all be finished when Wu Jing arrives."
Xing Tian never hid his fear of death, which in a sense made him quite upright.
"Haha, hiding like a turtle is a bit cowardly, but it suits me just fine. We're just green recruits, there's no need for us to risk our lives against these desperate criminals outside."
Chen Jun also only wanted to survive; he had no intention of saving the world.
The two hit it off immediately, and the strategy was thus determined.
It wasn't safe to stay in the stairwell, so the two secretly peeked outside to make sure they didn't see any bandits, then slipped into a shop to hide.
The robbers launched the attack from both the upper and lower floors simultaneously, with the sixth and first floors being the first to be searched.
This means that the shops on the sixth floor are relatively safe at this time.
such a pity.
The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.
Chen Jun and Xing Tian reached a tacit agreement to wait for their uncle to come and rescue them, but trouble came knocking on their door on its own.
In fact, the men in big hats had already received inside information when the bandits were on their way.
When the first group of "Big Hat Uncles" arrived at the World Trade Center, everyone who could escape had already run out, and the rest were trapped inside as hostages.
When the men in big hats saw so many hostages, their first thought was to rush in and rescue them.
Unexpectedly, these bandits were equipped with machine guns, and they opened fire from the ventilation windows on the second floor. The men in big hats only had limited firepower, such as pistols, and were completely unable to fight back.
Not only were several people killed or injured, but even the police car in front was smashed to pieces.
Chief of Staff realized something was wrong; the robbers inside were no ordinary criminals. He immediately contacted all relevant departments, including the head of the World Trade Center.
They learned that the building's vault contained securities with a total value exceeding four hundred million.
The bandits' target was definitely these securities.
Having identified the robbers' target, the Special Grade Hat arrived and organized several rescue operations, but these were thwarted by snipers upstairs.
There are no taller buildings nearby than the World Trade Center, making it extremely difficult to suppress enemy snipers.
Meanwhile, the martial arts uncles in the city have other missions, and very important ones at that. They can only come over after completing their current tasks, so they are temporarily unable to come here to provide support.
The captain in the top hat and the bureau chief were scratching their heads, anxious and at a loss for what to do.
At this critical moment.
Someone called the police station to report that several of his classmates were trapped inside the building and had fought with the robbers, even killing two of them. They hoped the officers could come and rescue them.
Upon hearing this unexpected news, the captain and the bureau chief's eyes immediately lit up with hope.
He immediately called Xiaobai over.
So, Xiao Bai, who meant well but ended up doing the opposite, cooperated by calling Xing Tian, who had already found a place to hide and had no intention of going out to cause any more trouble.
