Chapter 48: Eager to Perform Meritorious Service
There was no live broadcast, but next to Rawdon there was a man named Yunando Gower carrying a small camera. He was a photographer for All India Television and was responsible for recording the attack.
The video is not a live broadcast, it is just to leave a record of the attack in the future, which is a historical record.
This was also the request of the Mumbai government, in order to tell the public how difficult and dangerous this rescue was, and that their government, police, and even the military had done their best.
Roton and Yunando were placed at the end of the team. Sandy was truly an elite. As the commander, he set an example and rushed to the front.
I have to say, no matter how bad the army or police are in India, there are always some outstanding people.
Sandy's style of doing things led to his ultimate sacrifice. In order to save the injured team members, he rushed in and fought with the terrorists regardless of his own safety.
Although he admired her, Roton was still very satisfied that he was placed last.
He wants to be a hero, but he doesn't want to be a dead hero.
"Officer Mahesh, let's hurry up and catch up," Yunando whispered.
"The commander told us to follow behind, and we just followed his orders." Rawdon said, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I'm afraid," the photographer replied, "but if I can take a good picture this time, it will be a great contribution to the TV station, and I can become a formal employee of the TV station."
As he spoke, he touched the bulletproof helmet on his head. He was naturally wearing a bulletproof vest. Such protection made him feel a little more at ease. Of course, it was true that he was afraid. Who dared to say that he was not afraid in such a scene? Roden sighed in his heart. None of the regular employees of the All India Television dared to take the risk to come in and shoot, so this task fell on Yunando, an informal employee.
Gunshots and explosions were heard from the hotel from time to time. These were not necessarily grenades thrown by the terrorists themselves. Many of them were bombs installed in hidden places on some important roads, which were set to automatically detonate at a scheduled time or were booby traps.
In short, it is hard to guard against.
"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to accomplish something." Luoton said with a smile.
It's the same for everyone. In order to achieve merit, you have to take risks, whether it's voluntary or forced.
After entering the hotel, Roton and Yunando didn't dare to talk casually. Everyone was on edge and no one knew where the three terrorists in the hotel were hiding.
Sandy's plan was to head towards the conference room on the third floor, because the Minister of Education had just reported this hiding place, so the terrorists were likely heading there, and they had to hurry to rescue people.
Fierce gunshots and explosions were heard from the direction of the entrance hall on the first floor. It should be the group that was making a feint attack engaging in a fight with the terrorists. I just don't know how many terrorists there are over there.
"We have discovered a terrorist on the first floor! Everyone be careful, we don't know where the other two are hiding, go and rescue them first." Sandy received a report from another group of team members, and then passed the message to the other team members here.
Sandy's current mission is to save people. Since he knows there are people in the conference room on the third floor, he has to go, especially since he knows that one of them is the minister.
Roton followed at the end of the team, but he did not let his guard down, as the terrorists could appear behind him at any time.
Because there are so many guest rooms along the way, it is basically impossible for them to search each one now, so they can only remain vigilant, as any negligence can be fatal.
"Go up!" The group quickly arrived at the stairs leading to the third floor from the second floor.
Sandy led the Black Cat Commandos and quickly rushed to the third floor. Roton and Yunando lagged behind a little. They walked to the platform at the corner in the middle of the stairs.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and Roden felt a violent vibration under his feet. The stairs leading to the third floor in front of him were directly blown off.
Rotten and Yunando hurried back to the second floor. The stairs leading down from the platform to the second floor were still there, but they creaked and were not very stable. Rotten and Yunando naturally did not dare to continue standing on them.
"You can go back along the same route." Sandy said to Rawdon on the third floor.
The sudden explosion injured two commandos, but fortunately their injuries were not serious.
It should be that terrorists installed a bomb under the stairs. I don’t know whether it was triggered by a person passing by or by the terrorists controlling it remotely.
If it was remotely controlled, it meant that the terrorists had discovered the commandos were coming.
Sandy didn't say anything more to Rotten and the others, and soon disappeared from Rotten's sight.
"Officer Mahesh, what should we do? Go back the same way?" Younando gasped, holding the camera tightly and asked Roden in shock.
Roton was speechless. Of course he wanted to withdraw now. Didn’t he hear what Sandy said?
But this guy's camera was facing him and was on, so he couldn't say anything if he wanted to pull it back.
This video will be made public in the future, so I have to maintain my image and cannot run away.
Roton waved his hands, signaling the other party to turn off the camera first.
But Yunando seemed to have misunderstood what Rawdon meant and said, "Officer Mahesh, do you mean we won't return? I think so, too. I've come in here, but I can't bear not to capture the terrorists..."
Luoton cursed in his heart. He didn't expect that this guy was so eager to make a contribution that he was simply risking his life.
Of course, Roton could understand Yunando's thoughts. Once he became a formal employee of All India Television, the welfare benefits would be a world apart from his current informal status.
It also caused a leap in Yunando's status and position, and wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk.
In this case, it would be even more difficult for Roton to evacuate.
He had clearly shot and killed a terrorist, and also provided the hotel floor plan. These two achievements were enough. There was no reason for him to continue fighting here. It would be a huge loss.
But if he really had to retreat now, it would have a huge impact on his image. His previous achievements might even be greatly reduced, which was something Rotten didn't want to see.
"That's right. I came here to eliminate the terrorists. The broken stairs can't stop me from moving forward." Rawdon said with determination, "Let's go up to the third floor by taking another staircase."
As long as we are careful, safety should be no problem. The hotel is so big, and there are only three terrorists, and these terrorists should focus their main energy on dealing with the Black Cat Commandos.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So just stay in there for a while, and when you go out later no one will say anything about you.
Yunando had no objection to Roton's decision, and the two of them walked in another direction, preparing to go up to the third floor via another staircase.
"Bang, bang, bang~~" Rotten suddenly heard a loud crash coming from the front.
Since it was coming from the other side of the corridor corner, he couldn't see it yet.
Roden slowed down his pace, walked to the corner along the wall, and then carefully stuck his head out.
This sight made Roton's heart twitch violently. A terrorist holding an AK was kicking the door of a guest room in the corridor.
Perhaps because they found the door difficult to kick open, the terrorists fired directly at it.
"Ah?" At this moment, Younando screamed. After all, the distance between here and the terrorists was less than 10 meters. The gunshot was too loud and scared him.
His shout put Rotun in great danger. Upon hearing the noise, the terrorist immediately turned around and fired the AK in his hand towards this side continuously, forcing Rotun back.
Roton was just about to launch a sneak attack on the terrorist, but the terrorist's attention was on the door and he didn't notice his arrival.
But when Rotten was about to shoot, everything was ruined by Yunando. If Rotten had not acted quickly and retreated in time, he would have been turned into a sieve.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~~" Yunando realized that he had messed up a lot and apologized in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Rotten's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He just felt the breath of death. If his body had not become stronger than before and his explosive power had not been stronger, he would have no time to retreat.
How could he care about Yunando now? He could hear the footsteps of the terrorists, who were approaching him while shooting and suppressing him.
Desperado, just coming towards me like this, too brave, isn't he afraid that I will suddenly shoot him? However, Rawdon knew very well that if he really went out to shoot, the other party would definitely not give him a chance to shoot, that was a real killing gunmanship, after strict and cruel training, not comparable to his shooting skills for target practice.
So it is impossible to shoot at the opponent.
Without hesitation, Roton took a grenade from his body, pulled the safety and threw it out.
With a loud 'boom', the grenade exploded.
Still unconvinced, Rotten threw another one.
After the two grenades were thrown, there was no movement and it was unknown whether the terrorists were killed or not.
Rodon didn't dare to stick his head out to observe. If the terrorist was not dead, if he stuck his head out, he would be given an opportunity to be shot in the head.
