Chapter 212 Let Go of Your Hand
"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Rong Shuhuai's expression changed slightly.
"This poison can kill instantly. If someone accidentally inhales it, have you considered the consequences?!"
Of course, he was not worried about pirates, but about being accidentally inhaled by the hostages or those who came to rescue the hostages.
This poison is so deadly that it can kill someone in just two or three seconds.
Once aspirated, there is no chance of rescue!
Rong Shuyan's voice was a little muffled because he was wearing a mask.
"This is the eighteenth floor. The poison gas evaporates very quickly. No one will be able to come up in a short time."
“What if?!”
Rong Shuhuai gritted his teeth and rushed over to grab Rong Shuyan's collar.
"There are still people on the 17th floor! And children! You can say the adults on the cruise ship deserved it, but do the children deserve it too?!"
Rong Shuyan reached for the shotgun on the table and put the muzzle against Rong Shuhuai's forehead.
"Let go of your hand."
Rong Shuhuai was stunned, then let go.
Rong Shuyan tidied his clothes and said calmly:
"First, I never said it was a drug. Second, you were the one who threw the canister, not me. Third, this highly toxic substance is extremely unstable. It's only toxic in liquid form. Once it comes into contact with air, it evaporates quickly and reacts with oxygen to form a new, non-toxic gas."
What comes out of the can is actually a mist of small water droplets.
If you can't put your hand directly on the face and spray it, it's hard to kill someone with the poison.
Hearing this, Rong Shuhuai looked at Rong Shuyan with suspicion, "Highly toxic to non-toxic?"
Rong Shuyan said nonchalantly, "It may not be toxic to most people, but it may not be toxic to people with underlying medical conditions, such as heart disease, asthma, epilepsy, or cardiovascular disease."
He is not a scientist, so he doesn't need to study it too thoroughly. He just needs to make sure that such a thing can be used.
Rong Shuhuai looked at him straight, unable to speak for a moment.
Rong Shuyan said very naturally:
"Shu Huai, I hope you can think carefully before you speak. You have an obligation to protect the lives of others, but I don't.
I just need to ensure my own safety, what does other people have to do with me?"
Rong Shuhuai also seemed to know that because of different positions, they could not share the same ideas.
He stood there and took a deep breath.
He said: "If the poison gas outside kills innocent people, we will all be held responsible!"
"It's not us, it's you." Rong Shuyan kindly reminded.
Rong Shuhuai was shocked: "?"
Rong Shuyan said, "In what happened just now, we were accomplices, and I'm just an ordinary citizen. My responsibilities and obligations are different from yours."
Rong Shuhuai: “…”
After an unknown amount of time, Rong Shuhuai finally spoke.
"You're saying you're just an ordinary person now? Why didn't you say you were just an ordinary person when you were using the company to pressure people before?!"
Rong Shuyan laughed.
"Do you think now is the time to argue about this?"
Rong Shuhuai: “…”
I have to say that Rong Shuyan is quite capable when it comes to quarreling.
At least Rong Shuhuai is no match for him.
The law is the minimum moral requirement for people.
As long as it doesn't violate the law, no one will do anything to Rong Shuyan no matter how low his moral sense is or how cold-hearted he is.
However, seeing Rong Shuhuai so angry, Rong Shuyan didn't want to argue with him, so he glanced at him and said calmly:
"Have the rescuers wear a gas mask...or a mask will do. This poison won't kill anyone in its gaseous state."
Rong Shuhuai looked at him, then turned away and called the Marines to explain the situation.
Although rescuing the hostages is the top priority, we must at least ensure the safety of the rescuers.
Even if Rong Shuyan said that the poison would no longer be toxic after it evaporated into gas, who could guarantee that all the poisonous gas outside had been evaporated?
There were pirates coming up to the 18th floor to test the waters.
The pirates' thoughts were the same as Rong Shuyan's.
They don't think it's poison either.
After all, generally lethal poisons are unlikely to kill instantly.
Unless it is in the form of an injection, allowing the toxin to enter the blood circulation directly, like many highly venomous snakes.
This type of spray usually takes a process to kill someone.
So the pirates also believed that those who were poisoned to death by the poison gas were just knocked unconscious.
Rong Shuyan pointed in the direction of the door and said naturally:
"The corridor outside is where the most toxins are. By the time those people can walk over from the stairs and break down the door, the toxins will have almost evaporated."
Rong Shuhuai: “…”
Rong Shuhuai no longer wanted to talk.
Because he discovered that Rong Shuyan really had no respect for human life at all.
Rong Shuyan never sympathizes with the weak, or rather... not just the weak, he will not sympathize with anyone who has no relationship with him.
Both Rong Shuyan and Jiang Wanxing said that the people on the boat deserved it and were not innocent.
But are there no innocent people on this ship?
Not to mention the thousands of people who were held hostage on the first floor, there were several children in the conference room where they were previously.
Their parents may not be innocent. They rely on their wealth and status to go to dangerous places like Continent X for fun, travel, or engage in illegal transactions.
But the children were brought here by their parents.
We can’t say that the child’s parents have no sense of safety, the child deserves to die.
Rong Shuhuai tried hard to recall some memories from their childhood.
I want to find out why Rong Shuyan is so cold.
But he thought about it again and again, and suddenly realized.
No reason.
In this world, there are really people who are born with this kind of temperament.
The two of them sat in the control room, facing each other, but they were far apart.
There were constant sounds of pirates in the corridor outside, but none of them came here.
They had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, nor did they know that the person lying in the corridor outside the stairwell was not unconscious, but was completely dead.
Rong Shuyan opened the window and saw ships from several countries parked outside to rescue hostages.
This includes China's Marine Corps.
Now we are at the negotiation stage.
The two sides negotiated through external broadcasting.
Just by listening to their conversation, we can tell that the pirates seem to have taken several hostages to the deck outside and asked the ship coming to rescue the hostages to provide them with a doctor.
Otherwise, they would kill people.
When he heard this, Rong Shuyan sneered softly and closed the window again.
Rong Shuhuai stood up and opened the window again.
Seeing this, Rong Shuyan said, "There's nothing good to hear. There's already a doctor on board."
"What?" Rong Shuhuai was stunned.
Rong Shuyan showed sarcasm on his face.
"Such a large cruise ship, with cinemas, shopping malls, restaurants, and all kinds of entertainment venues...why do you think there's no hospital here?"
