Chapter 734: Bomb Disposal (Part 2)
The area near Federation Square was rarely so lively. Almost immediately after the gunshots were fired, piercing sirens sounded from all directions.
Several plainclothes police cars, flashing their hidden police lights, roared into Federal Square and quickly blocked the surrounding intersections, followed closely by an NYPD Raptor F150 pickup truck painted in blue and white, dragging a round vehicle-mounted explosion-proof The can rushed over.
Danny got out of the car and happened to face Jack and Hannah, who were looking ugly. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "What happened? Is there a suspect who escaped?"
Jack lit up. The bomb detonator in Liang's hand is similar to a car electronic key. "There is only one button on it to detonate it, and there is no release button."
Danny clenched his molars, his cheeks bulged slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Federal Plaza, where the FBI is located, and Police Plaza, where the NYPD headquarters is located, are very close to each other. Soon a large number of police cars, fire trucks and emergency vehicles arrived, surrounding the place.
Jack signaled Hannah to stay outside, and ran back into the federal building. At this time, Clay had turned off the signal jammer, and Alice was making a call on her mobile phone.
"Hi, baby, I just miss you and want to hear your voice. It's okay. You can continue watching TV. Mom just wants to tell you that I love you more than anything in this world. Anything.
Hmm, kiss, mom is hanging up, bye!”
After making the call, Alice took a deep breath, smiled sheepishly at Aubrey, wiped the tears on her cheeks again, and laughed at herself.
"I have never cried so much today since I was abandoned by my ex-husband."
Aubrey's eyes were also red, and she held her hands again, "I know this is hard. , but everyone here is trying their best, believe us, nothing will happen.”
The embarrassing Jack slapped him on the shoulder, “Leave this place to us, go outside.” Just wait there, you can think about how to ask the most beautiful girl in our combat center out for dinner tonight."
"I. I didn't. I just..." Aubrey. He actually scratched the back of his head a little shyly and became a little incoherent. When he and Jack got along in private before, this guy had boasted a lot about his past dates with supermodels and the like.
Jack pointed to the door and told him to get out of here, then bowed slightly and stretched out his right arm in a very gentlemanly manner, "Madam, can I invite you to sit by the window?"
Although he knew he was there Deliberately relaxing the atmosphere, Alice was able to understand his true intention, "I can try walking to the square, where it is more open, and I don't want other people in the building to get hurt."
"I praised it. Are you smart? But we may not have that much time." Jack slowly helped her walk to the large floor-to-ceiling glass near the outer wall of the hall, casually pulled a chair for her to sit down, and then the smile on his face faded. , became serious.
"Now you have 30 seconds to think about it. There are NYPD and our best SWAT explosives experts waiting outside. They may have a better plan.
But there are still 12 seconds left in the countdown. Minutes, my suggestion is that Clay and I continue to complete the rest of the work, of course, this needs to be decided by yourself.”
"Of course it's up to you to continue, but is your previous proposal still valid? I think it's time for me to make some changes in my life, if I can survive after today." Alice did not hesitate for a second.
Jack quickly put on the explosion-proof suit again, and joked at the same time, "This is really a fatal trust. My proposal is always valid. After we dismantle these bombs, you can submit it. Apply for field training, and I can also tell you a secret. Office romance is not prohibited in our team."
"Isn't that because of your relationship with Hannah?" Ke helped him put on the explosion-proof suit. Lai Leng suddenly made a complaint.
Tsk, this team is not easy to lead. Jack smacked his lips and tied Alice's hands behind her back with plastic ties. Although her mood is relatively stable now, she needs to work just in case. It still needs to be done, and the latter is quite cooperative.
The familiar sound of high heels sounded again. What was different from the past was that this time there were more chaotic footsteps.
Dana Moger walked quickly towards here, with a bit of anger on her face. Behind her was Jubal, who was holding the drug lord Vargas who was handcuffed and anklets, and behind them , are a group of analysts and technicians affiliated with the combat center who look anxious and concerned.
"Do you like to blackmail others? Do you think that even if you are at a disadvantage for a moment, you can still control everything? Then let the facts prove how wrong you are."
Only After she finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked Jubal to handcuff Vargas to the railing not far from Alice.
The corners of Jack's eyes twitched. This was a cruel move to kill each other. Obviously, while they were working hard, Dana Moge upstairs did not give up and negotiated with Vargas until the last moment. Of course, The result was obviously that the talks collapsed.
"You can't do this, you have no right to act so wantonly!" Vargas was a little panicked. His short and fat figure made him squat on the ground in a ridiculous posture and struggled desperately.
"Do you think anyone here cares?" A trace of madness flashed in Dana Moger's eyes.
"If anything happens to them, I swear, I will spend all the rest of my life hunting down your accomplices and subordinates, and I will not let go of any accomplice in this matter. I We will definitely destroy your Durange Group, including your relatives and children!”
After saying these harsh words, she nodded to Alice without saying anything more, and with all her words, People left the federal building. The hall fell silent for a moment. Vargas struggled for a few times and then gave up. Like an old wolf whose backbone had been taken out, he stared fiercely at Jack and Clay who were busy.
Before he spoke, Jack said quietly without raising his head, "If I were you, just shut up right now and pray silently that we can succeed."
Vargas opened his mouth, and seemed to think what he said made sense, and fell to the ground slumped.
Time passed by second by second, and the evacuation of the huge federal building had been completed. Everyone stood at a safe distance set by the blasting experts, staring unblinkingly at what was behind the glass curtain wall. Three people.
Although the glass curtain wall is made of dark glass, even with a telescope, it is difficult to see clearly the specific movements of the people inside from the outside, but the onlookers were so engrossed that they even held their breath subconsciously.
Clay's new wife Stella looked nervous and looked like she was about to faint. In fact, if Hannah hadn't been supporting her, she would have been unable to stand.
“There are 5 minutes left.” Jubal glanced at the countdown on his phone worriedly.
"Believe them, nothing will happen." Dana Moge frowned, and she didn't know whether she was comforting herself or her subordinates.
At the same time, Clay fixed two balls of plasticine at both ends of a long wire, exhaled a long breath, "I'll leave the rest to you."
< br>Jack took off his gloves, took a breath of hot air between his palms that were red from the liquid nitrogen, rubbed them vigorously, and picked up the lockpicking tool that had been prepared nearby, "You can withdraw first."
"Are you sure?" Clay placed a spare pair of powerful pliers at his feet, hesitating slightly.
“Let’s go!” Jack didn’t talk nonsense to him. He took out the lockpicking tool he had prepared and inserted it into the mechanical keyhole.
Clay walked out of the door in three steps and raised his hand to make a gesture. Two explosion experts, also wearing explosion-proof suits, immediately pushed the explosion-proof can forward, opened the lid and stood ready.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. To go limp.
“Don’t move!” Jack, who had been prepared with quick eyesight and quick hands, put his arm around her shoulders and asked her to sit back down. At the same time, he was scared to death and broke into a cold sweat.
"It's not over yet. Now I'm going to take it off. You can't run until I tell you you can run. Do you understand?"
Alice didn't dare to nod, not even If he dared to make any slight movement, he could only blink desperately.
Opening the collar bit by bit, and then slowly removing it from the bottom up on Alice's head, Jack cut the restraints on her with a knife and shouted, "Run, Alice, run to the square!"
Alice let out a low whimper and turned over the chair when she stood up. The noise not only startled her, but also Vargas who was sitting on the ground not far away. Stirring.
With the expectant eyes of the onlookers, Alice ran out of the Federal Building and fell into the arms of Aubrey who stepped forward to rescue her. The latter quickly protected her. Walk quickly outside the blockade.
The attention of everyone present was instantly focused on Jack, who was slowly walking out of the building holding a collar bomb. Some reporters and photographers who were not afraid of death even leaned half of their bodies across the blockade, just to find A better camera angle.
Jack was still walking leisurely. The sound of pindrops could be heard all around the square. The surrounding police lights were flashing. All sirens had been ordered to be turned off. Everyone held their breath and focused their attention on him. On the collar bomb in hand.
"Two minutes left." Clay, who had been waiting next to the explosion-proof tank, said his voice was still calm, even though he was already soaked in the explosion-proof suit.
"." Jack was not much better. He could even hear the sound of water gurgling between his sweat-soaked shoes and socks as he walked.
Seeing the collar bomb being slowly put into the explosion-proof can, the two demolition experts locked the lid with a bang, and each of them dragged Jack and Clay and ran away.
“Did we forget something?” Jack sat slumped beside the blockade, pulling open the helmet of his explosion-proof suit and gasping for breath and asked Clay.
"?"
Clay was a little confused, and then the two of them looked at the drug lord Vargas with horror, who was only ten meters away from the explosion-proof tank and was handcuffed to the railing, struggling and shouting.
Unfortunately, through the thick glass curtain wall and the self-closing glass door of the building, no one could hear his voice, or even notice him.
The next second, "Bang!"
