Chapter 246 Hostage
The battle below was fierce, and the people above looked very anxious.
Xu Sichen was very curious about the cancelled "original plan" and brought it up.
Several people who were curious also looked over.
This was not something that needed to be kept secret, so Wang Anjun led everyone to the artillery position, took out a lead ball-sized ammunition from it, and handed it to several people.
Faced with this black bomb, everyone subconsciously took a few steps back. Seeing Xu Sichen took it without blinking, they wanted to step forward and dissuade him.
Xu Sichen: "Don't be afraid, this is a smoke bomb. Even if it explodes suddenly, it won't hurt anyone."
Wang Anjun nodded and said, "That's right. In addition to smoke bombs, there are also tear gas bombs. Our original plan was to eliminate the potential bomb hazard, then directly use smoke bombs and tear gas bombs, and then send people in to strangle the criminals."
But after all, there are too many hostages. If the criminals become desperate and start shooting indiscriminately at the crowd with guns, the casualties will not be small.
Even though this was the combat plan with the least casualties that they had ever reviewed.
However, they unexpectedly underestimated the human desire to survive. Once activated, their fighting power is even stronger than that of ordinary people.
Looking at those people with bared teeth, three or five of them pounced on them, grabbing and pulling, and quickly took care of one of them.
Although some people were shot by the criminals, the emotions of the crowd were pushed to the extreme, like fearless war gods, and if one person fell, the others would quickly rush up.
If they were in an open area, the criminals could avoid the crowd and shoot.
However, these smart guys were already used to these people's cowardly, honest and obedient appearance, so in order to conceal their figures, they hid themselves completely in the crowd. Not only were they squeezed by the crowd without any space, but they didn't even have any comrades to help them.
So when these timid, cowardly, honest and obedient people become their opponents, they are surrounded by enemies who want to kill them.
Someone who reacted quickly fired a shot, but was overwhelmed by the people who rushed over.
Some were slow to react and fell silent before they even fired their guns.
At this moment, Xiao Ke no longer cared about winning or losing. He just wanted to leave immediately to save his life.
He killed a woman holding a child, then snatched the child from her and held it in his arms, so that he could disguise himself as a refugee and use the child as a hostage in a critical moment.
He wanted to squeeze back and run from the back while there were more people.
But the riot of the crowd was so great that he could not squeeze out.
In the end, not only did he not get squeezed out, but the people around him, seeing that he was holding a child, took the initiative to let him walk to the front.
So instead of retreating, he even took a few steps forward.
Just as Xiao Ke was racking his brains to try to evacuate, he saw a group of armed troops suddenly rushing in front of the crowd.
They were wearing bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, and holding submachine guns in their hands. They squeezed into the crowd with great momentum. Wherever they passed, everyone squatted down with their heads in their hands.
If anyone resists, just shoot them in the head.
That swift and decisive look frightened Xiao Ke so much that he didn't even dare to breathe.
Seeing the group of people getting closer and closer to him, he hugged the child tightly in his arms and squatted down like the people in front of him.
The operation was quick. In less than an hour, all the armed criminals were cleared out and all the guns were handed over.
Everyone squatted down with their heads in their hands, and armed personnel stood guard with guns.
But they all crawled out of the hell of Haichuan Base, and their trust in the base has basically reached negative. Looking at those gun-wielding men, they are afraid that they have been transferred from one hell to another.
So many people wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
The armed men originally wanted to give chase, but a clear voice came from the loudspeaker, stopping their action.
"Except for criminals who have done evil in the past, everyone who wants to leave is welcome to do so. We at the Morning Light Base never force anyone to do anything!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, which had been keeping quiet out of fear, suddenly became agitated.
After a while, someone stood up and left the crowd.
Xiao Ke naturally wanted to leave. Seeing this, he picked up the child in his arms, followed the crowd who were leaving, and walked out of the crowd with his head down.
It’s almost time, we can leave soon.
Xiao Ke was extremely nervous, and he didn't feel relieved until he left the crowd.
But before he could completely relax, an armed man with a gun blocked his way.
Xiao Ke's face turned pale with fright, but fortunately he smeared a lot of blood on his face to avoid being recognized.
"Brother, didn't you say you can leave if you want? Are you planning to go back on your word? Are you, like the Haichuan base, planning to imprison us?"
He was shaking all over because of nervousness and fear.
This just makes him look more like an ordinary timid person.
The crowd, which had relaxed a lot, suddenly became nervous again because of this sentence.
The armed personnel were not at all flustered. They just said in a kind tone: "No, let us take a look at your hand. Once we make sure there is nothing wrong, you can leave."
"Look, look at the hand? Why?" Because he had kept his head down, he really didn't notice what the person who left before him did.
The armed men did not explain, but simply repeated: "Please hold out your hands."
Xiao Ke didn't understand what was going on, but he had a bad feeling for some reason.
He stretched out his left hand under the pretext of holding a child. The armed men took one look and asked him to stretch out his right hand.
He swallowed and slowly extended his right hand.
The moment he opened his palm, the armed man's voice became colder: "Have you fired a gun?"
Xiao Ke panicked and quickly explained: "No, I, I didn't. I'm just an ordinary person. How could I shoot a gun? The calluses on my hands are from hard labor."
The armed men did not listen to his explanation at all. They just called people to take his child away and then tortured him.
Xiao Ke was naturally unwilling to do so. He held the child tightly and retreated while crying, "You, what on earth do you want to do? Do you want to take my child away? My child is my life. If you dare to touch him, I will fight you to the death."
These words made the already uneasy crowd even more uneasy.
Those who originally did not want to leave were also prepared to leave after being persuaded by their families.
Zhang Yifan is one of them.
He carried his son on his back, half-lifted his wife, slowly stood up, and then walked out of the crowd.
Since they are all going to die, the three of them might as well die together cleanly.
But just as he stood up, he saw the man in front of him who wanted to die with his son suddenly took out a small pistol and pointed it at his "son's" head.
