Chapter 51 Chapter 51
I have been waiting for a long time, how long will I have to wait?There was a dead silence in the conference room, lying on the conference table, raising the rifle to aim, the elbow hurt so much, the scalp itched, and the sweat kept dripping.Lucas looked down the barrel of the gun and saw outside the shattered glass window of the conference room.There are still a few pieces of broken glass remaining on the edge of the window frame, which at first glance look like transparent sharp fangs.Sim smashed the window glass with a gun earlier, and the earth-shattering bang still echoed in Lucas' ears.He seemed to be able to smell the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air, and he seemed to be able to see the worried expressions on the faces of the technicians.He thought to himself, is there a need to mess up the information area?What are you doing these preparations for?He and Barnard were cut off in the middle of their conversation, and then they all went to the warehouse to get out a bunch of scary big guns, and they heard that someone was coming up from underneath.Is there any point in all this?
He checked the bolt lever next to it.He tried to remember how the gun would work.He had only learned how to operate a gun a few hours earlier, and only for five minutes.There is one bullet in the chamber while the others are in the magazine.
When the guard boy taught him how to use a gun, he was full of jargon and made him miserable.Those unfamiliar terms almost filled his brain.He thought again of the rooms under the server room, of the frighteningly thick "Instructions," of the entire wall of bookshelves he had glimpsed by accident.His head was about to explode.
Then he practiced aiming again.His eyes followed the barrel of the gun to the little cross in the small round hole.The chairs in the meeting room had been pushed out into the foyer, where they piled up like a mountain.He aimed at the pile of chairs.He felt that they might have to wait like this for several days, and nothing happened.It's been a long time since I saw the delivery man come up to report the situation below.
He continues to practice.He flipped the safety catch lightly with his fingers, then rested on the trigger.Sim had warned him to be careful of the recoil after he pulled the trigger.At this moment, thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Crouching beside him was Bobby Melner, a sixteen-year-old apprentice.Bobby cracked a joke on him, and suddenly Sim yelled and told them both to shut up.Lucas felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.He looked at the revolving door, saw the black gun barrel protruding from the pillar of the guard room, and saw someone leaning against the iron desk on duty and aiming a gun.Peter Berning, the new bunker security officer, was at the table playing with his pistol.Bernard stood next to the security officer and gave orders.Bobby Melner, who was next to him, moved suddenly, as if he was uncomfortable.
Wait.continue to wait.They are all waiting.
Of course, if Lucas knew what would happen next, he would rather continue to wait.
He will pray to God to let him lie there and wait forever.
Knox led his men down to the sixties.There were only occasional stops to drink water and strap on gear along the way, with little rest.On the way, I met a few couriers who delivered things overnight.They were all a little curious, and they asked here and there why the power was cut off, but after inquiring for a long time, they couldn't find anything, and they all felt very disappointed.Knox prayed secretly that they would not be delusional. Bitter guessed right: the stairwells were crowded.Too many people going upstairs at the same time and the whole staircase will vibrate.Due to the power outage, most of the people on the middle floor went upstairs. They wanted to eat hot meals and take a hot bath.At this time, Knox and his men quietly followed behind them.They go up there to pursue another kind of "heat". When they reached the fifty-sixth floor, they finally encountered their first trouble.A group of farmers stood on a platform outside the hydroponic area, hanging a wire over the railing, probably to pass it down to the group downstairs.They had just seen a group of people on the landing downstairs.When the farmers saw them, the workers in the mechanical and electrical area in blue, one of them immediately shouted, "Hey, we worked so hard to grow vegetables to feed you, but you actually cut off our electricity?" "If you want to blame it, blame the information section." Mark stood in front of the line and said, "They told them to blow the fuse. We're already thinking of a way." "Huh, hurry up then." The farmer said, "Didn't the power cut last time be to prevent this kind of bullshit? The power cut has just ended, and now it's cut off again." "Don't worry, it will be done before noon." Shirley said to them. The leader of the group of farmers stood on the platform, holding on to the railing to block the way.When Knox came up from behind, he was blocked by him. "The sooner we can get up there, the sooner you'll have electricity," Knox said.He raised the cloth-wrapped gun in his hand as if it were some kind of tool. "Why don't you leave a couple of people here to help? The fifty-seventh floor has electricity almost all morning, and we're trying to get some electricity from there to run the motor." He pointed to the bundle of wires on the railing. Knox thought for a moment.The request made by this person is illegal.If you stop him, you will definitely argue with him and waste time, but if you leave him alone, you will look very suspicious.He could feel McClane's team waiting for them, just a few floors away.Every second counts, and the timing has to be just right. "I can keep two people here to help you. It's a favor for you. However, if someone pursues it afterwards, don't get involved in our mechanical and electrical department." "Who cares so much?" said the farmer, "Water is more important." "Shirley, you and Connie stay to help. Follow up when you're done." Shirley was dumbfounded, and winked desperately to beg him to think again. "Go ahead," he told her. Mark walked over to her, took the backpack from his wife, and handed her a Swiss knife from his pocket.Reluctantly, she took it, gave Knox a hard look, and turned away, too annoyed to speak to either of them. The farmer suddenly let go of the wire in his hand, and rushed to Knox with a stride: "Hey, didn't you say that two people should stay—" Knox gave him a sharp look, and the farmer stopped, startled. "You probably want me to keep the most powerful people for you?" He said, "They are the most powerful." The farmer spread his arms and stepped back.Ko Ni and Shirley have gone to the next floor to help those people. "Let's go." Knox tugged on his backpack. As a result, the coalition forces composed of the electromechanical area and the material area began to advance upwards again.The group of farmers on the platform on the fifty-sixth floor watched the long procession spiral upward. As they put the wires down, they talked a lot.What came to their minds was a powerful military force.This army obviously has bad intentions and is going to do terrible things. Anyone who is not blind and deaf should be able to see it.
Lucas was completely unprepared.Without warning.After a long torment, after waiting for dozens of hours, the battle broke out suddenly.Although someone had warned him in advance that the scene might be terrifying, Lucas realized that maybe it was because he had waited too long that the shock was even stronger at the last moment. The double doors on the thirty-fourth floor were suddenly blasted open, and the two iron doors crumpled like pieces of paper. The loud bang made Lucas jump up, and the butt of the rifle slipped from his hand.Gunshots sounded next to him, and Bobby Melner screamed in terror, firing wildly forward.However, it could also be too exciting.Suddenly Sim yelled, telling Bobby not to shoot.His shouting actually overshadowed the gunshots.Then, when the gunfire temporarily subsided, something suddenly flew out of the smoke.It was a small tin can, bouncing all the way to the revolving door. At that terrifying moment, time seemed to stand still, and then, there was another earth-shattering explosion.Lucas felt as if his ear had been hit hard, and the gun almost slipped from his hand.Puffs of smoke came out of the revolving door, but he could still see pieces of wreckage scattered all over the foyer of the information area.Those were people he knew.Before he had time to grasp the butt of the gun, people from outside had already attacked.Before he could get scared, a small tin can exploded in front of him. The man next to him started firing again, and this time Sim didn't yell at everyone to stop shooting.This time more shots were fired.The group of people outside rushed into the gate, trying to push away the chairs, but they fell into the pile of chairs, twitching all over their bodies, as if invisible threads were pulling their bodies, and pillars of blood sprayed out from them, as if sprinkled on the ground. Red paint in midair. Then someone else rushed in.The man was huge, and his roar was deep and sonorous.Lucas suddenly felt that all the movements in front of him suddenly slowed down.He saw the bearded man with a chest the width of two men, mouth gaping and roaring, rifle at hip, firing at the bombed-out guardhouse.Lucas saw Peter Berning suddenly fall to the ground and grab his shoulders.Then, he saw gun barrels suddenly protruding from his side, which were placed on the conference table, while the glass shards on the front window frame were still shining.At that moment, he suddenly understood that smashing the glass windows in advance was a very clever tactic. In an instant, countless bullets flew out of the conference room and hit that person unexpectedly.It turned out that the group of people in their conference room was simply ambushing and attacking from the side.The big man had been shot several times, his mouth was open, his rifle was broken in two, and he was holding a bullet in his hand.Turns out he wanted to reload.He used an old rifle. The rifles in the information area fire much faster, and the gun can be fired as soon as the trigger is pulled, and the bullets fly out one after another.The big man fumbled with the rifle for a long time, but the bullet would never go in.Finally, he fell on the pile of chairs, and several chairs were bounced off and flew a long way.Then, another figure appeared at the door.The figure was petite, a woman.Lucas followed the barrel of the gun to the woman, who suddenly turned to look at him.The gray smoke that had just exploded slowly floated towards her, and her silver hair was swaying on her shoulders, as if at first glance it had become one with the smoke. He could see her eyes.From the beginning of the battle to the present, he hasn't fired a gun yet, he just opened his mouth and looked at everything in front of him. The woman pulled her arm back suddenly, as if about to throw something in their direction. At that moment, Lucas pulled the trigger, a spark shot out of the muzzle, and the barrel of the gun jerked back.The bullet flew out of the muzzle, and in that short moment, the terrifying time seemed to stop suddenly, as long as eternity.For that long moment, he finally saw clearly that it was an old lady holding something in her hand. a bomb. Her body twisted suddenly, a flower of blood burst out from her chest, and the thing in her hand fell to the ground.At that moment, time seemed to stand still again, and more people rushed in, roaring in their mouths, and then, the bomb exploded, the chairs were blown up, and those people were blown to pieces. With tears in his eyes, Lucas watched as more people tried to rush in, and the gun in his hand kept firing bullets. In the end, the magazine was finally empty.With tears in his eyes, he pulled out the empty magazine and put in a new one.He bit his lip hard, pulled the machine gun back, and the bullets continued to fly out one after another.A small bullet is so hard and fast as lightning, while a relatively huge human body moves so slowly and so fragile.
