Chapter 140 One in a Million, Every Shot Hit the Mark
"certainly."
Without the slightest hesitation, a confident smile crept onto Leng Feng's eyes. "Your team's snipers are called snipers, but our boss is called the Sniper God!"
"One in a million, with an unerring accuracy!"
This affirmative and decisive praise surprised everyone even more, and made them even more curious about Wen Ni...
Leng Feng had already suppressed his smile and looked at the soldiers behind him. "Three of you, come with me into the building!"
"Wait! That building is full of explosives! And won't you be disrupting the sniper's target if you go in?"
"If we don't go in, how can we get the criminals to show themselves?" Leng Feng raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, the company commander understood immediately and stepped forward. "Let me send a few of our elite squadrons in with you! It'll be good backup!"
"No need."
Leng Feng pointed to the national flag on the chest of his combat uniform. "No matter the danger, soldiers are always prepared to be the first to face peril. You have an even more important task to do: protect the people!"
After saying that, he glanced at the sobbing middle-aged woman, then turned and rushed into the dangerous building without hesitation!
The squadron leader and others, who were standing still, were deeply shocked and clenched their fists, which were trembling with excitement!
Director Zhang's expression was serious yet full of respect. He then turned around and ordered, "Except for the 3rd Special Police Squadron and the 1st Team from the Police Headquarters, everyone else must immediately retreat outside the safe zone!"
"yes!"
"Director Zhang, I'll have someone escort you to safety!" the squadron leader said to Director Zhang.
Director Zhang raised his arm. "No, I'm staying too!"
"What? But Director Zhang..."
"Soldiers charge ahead, police officers protect the people, and I, too, will protect my comrades!"
"...Yes, leader!" Everyone present had tears in their eyes.
A new round of deployments targeting the criminals has begun and is once again in full swing.
Wen Ni led her people to the top floor of the high-rise building.
With her sniper rifle set up, her index finger remained firmly on the trigger, while her bright, alert eyes scanned the dark building across the street.
Inside the building, several small green dots spiraled upwards along the floors.
Those were Leng Feng and his team who led the search; the communicators on their chests were flashing.
On the roof of that building, several soldiers rappelled down and silently attached themselves to the walls of each floor!
"One layer of security!"
"Six pieces of tamper-evident explosives were found on the second and third floors, but have now been neutralized and the area is safe!"
Through the wireless headset, Leng Feng's hushed reporting voice came through.
Wen Ni's scope swept towards the fourth floor before he could!
Two soldiers behind him also held up binoculars, focusing their attention on searching for any possible movement inside the building!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen!
"No explosives found on the fifth floor, bombs on the sixth floor have been cleared, safe!"
"Now only the last floor remains."
"The last layer of explosives has been completely cleared, but the perpetrators have not been found!"
Leng Feng's tone was slightly doubtful, "Where could that bastard hide with a child? Did he set up a smokescreen? Did he not even enter this building?"
"Impossible! We've been chasing him all the way here. He must still be in this building!" The squad leader's confident voice came through the earpiece.
Wen Ni also began to have doubts.
How could a criminal with a ten-year-old child simply vanish into thin air in such a bare building without leaving a trace?
Could he possibly be able to scale walls and leap across rooftops...?
In an instant, a brilliant idea struck!
Wen Ni's eyes widened, and she pressed her earpiece. "Leng Feng! The ceiling!"
"A ceiling? There's nothing there..."
Leng Feng and the others subconsciously looked up, shining the flashlights from their helmets over them, but found nothing.
"Which floor did you say didn't have any explosives?" Wen Ni suddenly realized.
"The fifth floor."
"Everyone, immediately check the ceilings of all the cubicles on the fifth floor! He could very well be hiding there!" Wen Ni ordered directly!
In the dead of night, with poor lighting and the threat of explosives, everyone's first instinct would be to check the ground!
Who would have thought, let alone imagined, that they would look up to see if there were two more people hanging from the ceiling!
Perhaps it was the noise of Leng Feng leading his team downstairs and then returning that startled the criminals.
Before they could get down to the fifth floor,
Wen Ni, who had been keeping her eyes fixed on the fifth floor, had already noticed the subtle movement!
Through the scope, I could vaguely see a figure jump down from the ceiling and then appear near the window!
But that's not right.
The height is wrong!
An adult male is not just a little taller than the windowsill!
This is the hostage boy; he was used by the criminals to mislead the sniper's line of sight!
Let's analyze this calmly.
Wen Ni loosened her grip on the trigger slightly.
"Leng Feng, the middle cubicle! Find a way to force the thugs to the window!"
"clear!"
Leng Feng quickened his pace, heading straight for the location Wen Ni had mentioned!
As expected
When they arrived, the bright headlamps illuminated the entire cubicle, and they could clearly see a man in his forties squatting on the floor under the windowsill, with a ten-year-old boy standing in front of him!
The boy was trembling with fear; time bombs were hidden all over his body, from his waist to his feet!
Ten minutes, less than ten minutes left!
"Boss, things are bad..." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Leng Feng's forehead. "The remote control for the time bomb is in the hands of the criminals."
Upon hearing the sound,
Wen Ni's expression darkened further on the other end of the communicator!
"Shoot! Why aren't you shooting? Hahaha! If you shoot, the explosives on his body will burst into flames!" The thug's words were full of crazy provocation.
His head was buried behind the boy, and he refused to give himself away, which made Leng Feng anxious but unable to kill him!
and……
The assailant's back was against the wall below the window, so Wen Ni couldn't hit his head from her angle!
In this situation, if they cannot kill him directly, the consequences will be the most tragic! Therefore, none of them can act rashly.
We must first calm the criminals down!
"Leng Feng, turn the communicator on speakerphone," Wen Ni said.
“Okay!” Leng Feng immediately did as instructed.
Once the loudspeaker was turned on, not only the thugs, but everyone on the channel could hear their conversation.
"Hu Wei." Wen Ni lowered her body, her eyes still fixed on the dark window in the scope, her soft, clear voice coming through the communicator, "Actually, you don't want to die, right?"
"Otherwise, you could just press the remote control anytime and end this absurdity, couldn't you?"
He spoke in a calm tone, uttering words that teetered on the edge of danger.
Hu Wei's provocative smile froze slightly as he looked down at the remote control he was holding.
“I know it’s tough for you to live alone. If you hadn’t been forced into it, you wouldn’t have become a gambler, wouldn’t have accumulated so much debt, and wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“I can help you.” Wen Ni’s voice was like a clear spring, soothing a restless heart. “As long as you’re willing to turn back, I can plead for you, and I can give you a lot of money so you can pay off your debts and start a new life…”
