"Yes, brother! Someone is planning to blow up this building, not us! We don't want to be destroyed! Our families are inside! Please, have mercy! Let your people leave the first floor, okay? We want to leave here!"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback: "Weren't you guys going to blow it up?"
"No! It's Long Xingbang! He threatened our supervisor that he would blow up the building or he would kill his family! So, we're being forced into this situation!"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"How are you doing now? Don't provoke him!"
"No! No, we dare not provoke him! He's doing alright right now! It's just that if Long Xingbang sees him and hasn't blown up the building by then, he'll definitely come to threaten him! How much longer do you have?"
At this moment, the building's safety personnel no longer cared what Lu Yuan and his group were doing. They even wanted them to finish their work quickly so they could escape when the building was destroyed.
Lu Yuan looked up and said, "There's one more floor! When did Long Xingbang make the call?"
"About...about ten minutes ago!"
"Okay! I understand! I'll speed things up! You guys pack up and prepare for the evacuation!"
"Thank you! Robbers, you'd better hurry!"
Meanwhile, among the staff in several other offices, one of them was in charge of the building's communications. He had secretly installed a listening device on himself when Lu Yuan and his group rushed in, and he had overheard the entire conversation between Lu Yuan and the building's security guard.
When Lu Yuan hung up the phone, his heart sank. Looking at the chaotic scene outside the shattered window, he couldn't believe that this was what had happened in his supposedly safest place.
His colleagues, seeing how flustered he was, quickly asked him what was wrong.
He almost cried as he recounted the conversation between Lu Yuan and the safety officer.
In an instant, the room erupted in chaos.
"What? They're going to blow up the building? No way! We're innocent! Why would they blow up the whole building?!"
"No, please! Let's talk to the robber and leave quickly!"
But the communications technician shook his head: "It's over if the child isn't born, that person won't leave! We...we can only pray for the best! They said Long Xingbang made the call ten minutes ago, and it's been about fifteen minutes now! I guess...he'll make the call soon!"
The crowd started arguing again, each wanting to leave and not wanting to die here as a wronged ghost.
The news spread far and wide, and the office group chat was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about it, and everyone from the first floor to the top floor knew that Long Xingbang planned to blow up the building. Immediately, everyone organized themselves to try to escape from the place.
However, just as they rushed downstairs, they encountered armed men at the corners of each floor. These men were brought by Hei Zi. The special forces were still locked in a stalemate outside, unable to enter the building. They wanted Lu Yuan and the children. Even if they conquered all the floors below, it would still be of no use.
There is only one passageway on the 18th floor outside the window, but it is now blocked. It would take at least several hours to clear away the rubble, and the passageway can only accommodate a few people at most.
So now the special forces are stuck outside, and they have no way to deal with the people brought by the black man who are using all sorts of things to defend themselves. Even if they manage to break in, they will have to rescue them layer by layer.
The garrison troops are currently tied up with zombies in the square and other areas, and the Long Group can no longer spare any more manpower.
Long Xingbang paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. After glancing at the time, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and picked up the phone to dial a number.
"Damn it! Is it really that hard to find someone?"
"Brother Long, no, you've got it wrong. The locations provided here are from months ago! We haven't found his family at all!"
"What? Not found! Damn it! Why wasn't such important information reported in time?"
"We just discovered it too! By the way, their names are here. Why don't you go check and see exactly where they are, Brother Long!"
Long Xingbang glanced at the time; nearly twenty minutes had passed since he called the building's security officer, but there was still no movement inside the building.
So Long Xingbang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll contact the other departments right away! I'll give you the address as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Long Xingbang hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone and dialing the building's security office.
The phone on the desktop suddenly rang.
The people standing outside the door immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
The ringtone felt like the one in The Ring. Although the sun was shining brightly outside and the building was in chaos, their safety was not a problem at all.
But they knew that once their supervisor answered the phone, it would be the end of the world.
Everyone stood anxiously outside the door, afraid to go in because they were worried that their supervisor might have a moment of despair and press the remote control button again.
The ringing phone brought the safety supervisor back to reality. Looking at the constantly ringing phone, he couldn't help but glance down at the remote control in his hand.
