Chapter 1742 Sit Down Quietly
Kashin stared at the machine gun's operating mirror with one eye, constantly adjusting the muzzle angle with one hand, and holding the walkie-talkie with the other hand, saying, "How can I believe that the person in your car is a hostage?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Xiao Peng and said, "Boss, you go negotiate with them. The machine guns are already aimed at the engine. If they move, fire at them. It's best to fire in bursts. If you fire continuously, the muzzle will drift and many people in the car may die. But we don't have to worry. After all, we don't know whether there are real hostages in the car or their accomplices."
Xiao Peng asked, "What are you going to do?"
Kasin took the VSS and checked the bullets before saying, "We know there are still two enemies. The searchlight on the car is facing them and they can't see us clearly. I'll get out of the back of the car and you help me buy time while I go down and deal with them. I'll signal you when I'm in position. You should be able to see it, right?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay! Let's do it!"
He is skilled, but he has no experience in dealing with such matters. It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
Sasa had a snow-white fur coat placed aside. Kasim reached out and picked up the fur coat and made a gesture to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng directly picked up the intercom and said, "I don't believe you have hostages!"
While the loudspeaker was sounding, Kasim opened the rear door and used the sound of the loudspeaker to cover up the sound of himself opening the door and getting out of the car. Then he covered himself with Sasa's fur coat and hid in the snow, slowly approaching the van.
Eugenia was stunned: "Xiao, what on earth do you do?"
Xiao Peng explained: "I'm just an ordinary person, but Kasim is indeed a soldier..."
Before he could finish his words, gunshots were heard again, but this time the gunshots were not aimed at Xiao Peng's car, but at the searchlight on the roof. After a few crisp sounds of broken glass, it became dark outside the car: the headlights of their car had just been shattered, and now the searchlight was also shattered. The headlights on their car were all out, while the lights on the van were still working, but now it was the other party's headlights that blinded them.
Xiao Peng narrowed his eyes to see the situation outside the car: a white man in a blue down jacket was holding a girl hostage and getting out of the car. He was pointing a pistol at the girl's head. Another guy in a brown coat and a green knitted hat was holding an AK. It should be the searchlight that was shattered by his shot just now.
The man in the blue down jacket shouted, "We still have more than a dozen hostages in the car! If you don't want them to die, do as we say!"
Xiao Peng looked outside and saw Kasim carefully moving to the side to get into the shooting position.
He picked up the intercom and said, "What do you want?"
The man in the blue down jacket said, "Get out of the car and give it to us!"
Xiao Peng laughed: "Dude, are you okay? What should we do if I give you the car?"
"That's your business! You have to listen to me after you get off! Otherwise I will kill the hostages!" shouted the man in blue down jacket.
Xiao Peng said, "Kill them, what does it have to do with me? How many can you kill? I can tell you clearly, you have seen the power of the heavy machine gun on my car. It is now aimed at you. You can only fire one shot at most, and I will blow you into a hornet's nest. It is still worthwhile to die for one hostage and save a whole car of people!"
He said this, but his eyes were fixed on the girl in the blue down jacket.
Was this girl probably terrified? She was completely limp, relying on her blue down jacket to support her feet. She was wearing nothing but a flimsy nightgown.
Is he fainting? If he didn't have that blue down jacket, he'd freeze to death right away.
Before the two gangsters could say anything, Eugenia in the car spoke first: "Xiao, how could you do this? We need to rescue the hostages! We can't just watch that girl die like this!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "Eugenia, then according to your opinion, what should we do?"
"Of course we should agree to their request first," Eugenia said. "It's only seven or eight kilometers from here to Salekhard. We can rescue the people and then walk there."
Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Sasa spoke first: "Eugenia, we will all die like this."
Eugenia said after hearing this: "How could he die in such a short distance?"
Ekaterina said, "Eugenia, believe Sasa. She's right. This is the Arctic, not Spain. Even if you could run a marathon in Spain, you wouldn't be able to walk five kilometers here. Bad weather, thick snow, and the presence of wild animals could all be fatal factors. You might not be able to walk two or three kilometers! Just like Salekhard, where we're going, it was once a Soviet exile site. Hundreds of thousands of prisoners were thrown here to build the railway. Nobel Prize winner for Literature Solzhenitsyn was imprisoned here. This was a Gulag prison, but there were no walls. Prisoners could escape at will, but they would be dead soon anyway. You don't feel cold with such thick clothes on, but believe me, even if you wore so much, you would freeze to death in less than two hours."
Eugenia said anxiously after hearing this: "What should we do? That girl is so pitiful!"
Although Xiao Peng's eyes were fixed on the two gangsters who were discussing quietly over there, he also heard their conversation, so he said directly: "We can exchange hostages. Use you to exchange for that girl."
"Xiao!" Ekaterina exclaimed, "Are you going to kill Eugenia?"
Xiao Peng said directly: "If you can't do anything, then just shut up! Don't act like a saint! It's a kindness for someone like you to just shut up and not talk!"
"You..." Eugenia said angrily, "Look at that girl. She's wearing so little. She'll freeze to death in a moment, and you're just watching and doing nothing?"
Xiao Peng asked directly, "Do you know what the hostages in the car are like? What if they can't walk? Will you carry them on your back? That girl's clothes are thin, will you give them to her? If the hostages in the car are all wearing thin clothes, who will you give your clothes to?"
Eugenia didn't know how to respond.
Xiao Peng said directly: "We are doing business, now shut up and sit quietly in the back!"
He was now staring at the two gangsters, who were arguing in low voices and could see that they were very emotional.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kasim making a gesture to him to get ready.
Xiao Peng picked up the intercom and said, "You want my car? That's impossible. Change the conditions!"
"That's all I ask! You have no right to negotiate with me!" The man in the blue down jacket waved his pistol, "I will really kill the hostages!"
At this moment, Kasim took action!
