Chapter 1675: Chapter 842: Following the Trail (Part 2)

The person in charge, hearing this, hurriedly asked someone to prepare medication, hoping to temporarily alleviate everyone’s danger.

"I suppose now there should be many guns pointing at my head. But don’t forget, as long as I press this button, the bomb will explode. Also, if the bomb directly contacts the ground, it will explode."

This made the situation even more critical. Everyone started worrying that if the bomb couldn’t be safely defused, the people would be unable to escape.

"So, the decision is in your hands. How your upper leadership decides is up to you. But I’m giving you little time, only ten minutes. If there is no result within ten minutes, I will kill one person. If everyone has been killed, I will detonate the bomb."

At this moment, the person in charge slammed the table fiercely.

"This is simply insane! I will never agree to the terrorists’ demands."

"Don’t rush."

Lin Beichen suddenly remembered a strategy he had used on a mission abroad, which might work.

"If it really doesn’t work, I’ll negotiate. Anyway, I have to go in, face the problem directly, and solve it."

"This..."

"Our primary task is to rescue the people, the rest can be dealt with later. Otherwise, we might end up with nothing."

The person in charge had no choice but to agree to Lin Beichen’s request.

"Alright, but you must be careful."

At this moment, a phone was delivered to the entrance of the resort lobby by a remote-controlled car.

A terrorist immediately handed the phone to the leader.

"I am Lin Beichen, the chief instructor of the Seventh District. I believe my qualifications should be enough to talk to you."

"Ah, so it’s the famous Mr. Lin! You’re being sought out overseas, yet we meet here. What a coincidence!"

Clearly, the terrorist showed an unusual "interest" in Lin Beichen.

"No matter the final outcome, I must get my message out. If these demands are not met, I will detonate the bomb. I give you an hour to consider."

Unexpectedly, the terrorist issued a final ultimatum right from the start, leaving no chance.

Either we all die together, or the message gets out.

"Of course, there’s a rule in delivering the message, I must receive a signal of the agreed frequency. And according to our initial agreement, they should respond in less than ten minutes."

Lin Beichen was at a loss; the negotiation had just begun, yet it had already hit a stalemate.

"Our negotiation should start from the perspective of hostage safety. I am still unsure whether the hostages on your side are safe, and you say you will execute one person every ten minutes, this makes it meaningless."

Lin Beichen was a bit upset; if things developed further like this, it would benefit no one, and no one knew the power of the bomb.

"President Lin, I’ll keep addressing you like that. Weren’t you always against me abroad? We’ve met on the battlefield, you battered me, now you’re chickening out? If you have the guts, come in and see how we kill these hostages one by one."

At this moment, the terrorist became even more arrogant and domineering.

"Oh, by the way! Let me reiterate, this hour is not for you to keep thinking. Every ten minutes I will kill one person, after an hour, they all die. And, I will kill the children first."

"You are simply insane!"

Lin Beichen was furious.

"I’m inherently insane, and what are you then? You want to claim you’re a savior? Don’t joke, you’re just an ordinary person too. Want to show off in front of me, just say it, but I’ll tell you, I don’t buy it."

After saying this, the terrorist immediately hung up the phone and aimed the gun at the owner tied to the pillar.

"I believe everyone has seen it, your phones or individual combat devices should be on, you should see my motion to execute him in the video."

The real-time footage kept coming in, causing worry. If things kept developing this way, it would be terrible.

At this moment, everyone was deeply worried for the hostages inside, silently praying. Finally, the person in charge stood up and showed his stance.

"There’s nothing more to say."

The person in charge had made a decision.

"In any case, the citizens must not be threatened under such circumstances; this is our bottom line."

"Yes!"

Lin Beichen was also gradually realizing what to do, but the current situation seemed to be getting more dangerous.

"It’s okay, let’s give it a try."

It was obvious they could find better opportunities in the face of such a situation.

"You all heard it, now you only have ten minutes to figure out a way to reach that hall and open fire."

Yu Feng was somewhat frustrated.

"We are quietly approaching, but they are resisting. We definitely won’t make it in ten minutes."

"This is a death order! I don’t care what you think."

The countdown had already started, and awkwardly, the trouble this situation brought was larger than anticipated.

"Can you hear me?"

Yu Feng immediately switched to another channel.

"I want to tell you now, all personnel entering this hotel must contact me, even if you enter through the ventilation ducts, let me know!"

Through their individual combat equipment, they already had a rough understanding of the hotel’s entire layout.

"Okay, got it."

But at that moment, the negotiation still had to continue. "We have to pretend to comply with their demands, but I must go in and see the hostages’ safety with my own eyes; just use that condition as a basis."

"Okay!"

The person in charge once again tried to dial the phone.

"I know your tricks, if we meet face-to-face, your setup might be complete. I won’t let you directly see the hostages. Still, the same words, there are four minutes left, if you disagree, I will open fire."

The situation was getting more urgent, what to do could only depend on them.

"We are all desperate people, don’t think you have any chance of survival."

"How about this, you release the hostages, and I become your hostage, how about that?"

"You?"

The man sneered disdainfully.

"I’m telling you clearly, my terms won’t change. I give you a call and you contact me later, that is just notifying, not negotiating. If you don’t agree, sorry, I’ll immediately open fire. There are three minutes left, think about it."

Over on Yu Feng’s side, preparations had been completed quickly. Apart from the frontal assault force being slightly behind schedule, those who silently approached the ventilation ducts were all in position.

"Boss, stop bickering with him."

Yu Feng indeed was prepared, he didn’t care what the other party thought, since they came, they shouldn’t expect to leave unscathed.

"Alright, I’ll agree to your terms. But one thing, you must ensure hostage safety, it’s that simple."

"I’m a man of my word; since you’ve agreed, the deal is set."

As soon as the man hung up the phone, the gate was suddenly blown open.

"I knew you would play tricks."

At this moment, Chen Lin decisively pulled the trigger, destroying the remote.

Immediately, four terrorists cut the ropes. At a critical moment, Lin Beichen rushed in, regardless, first embracing the bomb.

On the other side, the terrorists were still stubbornly resisting.

Yu Feng directly aimed and shot, killing the terrorist leader first.

Afterwards, they exerted all their force to eliminate the terrorist group completely.

The hostages on site were all rescued, but a problem loomed ahead.

This bomb is extremely dangerous, what to do? They can only rely on their own efforts, but the current situation is very critical.
