The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 505 Collapse
"Bong!" The older African-American boy was chatting happily with the girl he liked at the door of the apartment one second, and the next second he was blown away by the shock wave to the center of the street.

A silver Toyota sedan just stopped at the door of the apartment on the roadside. The female driver who was about to get out of the car was pushed out of the car. The glass of the street shop across the road was also shattered. Passers-by in the distance saw this scene. They all screamed.

Jack bent down to protect Alexis from the dangerous area along the street, then straightened up and shook off the broken glass on the floor, "Are you okay?"

The girl looked at the apartment where the explosion occurred in shock, her lips trembling, and it took her a long time to say, "That... that little boy, just ran in."

"Yes." Jack's tone was a little heavy. Although he was a stranger, no one would feel comfortable watching a living life pass away in front of his eyes, and it was obvious that there were more residents in the building.

"Is it a gas explosion? We should go and help them." Although Alexis' legs could not stop shaking, she could not help but look at the people outside the apartment who were injured by the explosion shock wave.

"Probably not." Jack was very familiar with the smell of gunpowder smoke. After all, he had smelled it not long ago, more than once.

He protected the little girl and sat down at the corner of the street. "Stay here. Don't go anywhere. Call 911. I'm contacting the FBI now."

After saying that, he walked towards the apartment and took out his mobile phone. He found the number Rossi left for him and dialed it.

"Sir Moger, yes, I am Jack. Yes, I just arrived in New York. Sorry to interrupt. I am now on XX Street in Clinton District. There just happened an explosion here. Yes, it doesn't look like an accident. I smell almonds suspected of being TNT. taste
Sorry, I can't be sure, but the smell is almost the same as the smell after someone bombed my house with an RPG. I'll be waiting at the scene, sir. "

Jack had not only smelled the smell after a TNT explosion, but also smelled the strong mercaptan smell after a gas explosion. After all, his poor little building had another gas explosion after being bombarded by an RPG. All the flavors are fresh in my memory.

After hanging up the phone, he also came to the boy who was thrown into the middle of the road by the blast wave. In just a blink of an eye, this poor child was separated from his brother and the girl he liked forever.

The African-American girl who was standing opposite him and chatting with him was hit in the temple by a brick. At this time, she had become a corpse lying on the street. There was an unlucky passerby across the street, who was hit by broken glass and iron railings. The thing is pricked into a hedgehog.

Among the people who were originally standing near the entrance of the apartment, only the African-American boy and the female driver who was pushed out of the car by the air wave survived, but they both fell into a coma at this time.

Jack quickly checked the two of them and confirmed that there were no broken ribs inserted into the internal organs. He directly dragged them away from the scene one by one, waiting for the arrival of the fire brigade and ambulance.

The building where the explosion occurred was a six-story apartment building with a red brick structure, the most common in New York. It looked old. The explosion just now obviously occurred on the ground floor.
At this time, there were shocking cracks spreading up on the outer walls of the first and second floors. He would not be surprised even if they collapsed in the next moment. Therefore, the principle that seriously injured people cannot move easily does not apply at the moment. .

In about 5 minutes, two fire trucks and an ambulance arrived at the scene, followed by two police patrol cars. They saw Jack squatting on the street to take care of the wounded, a fire brigade captain and two EMTs (emergency medical technicians) Came to him quickly.

"Do you know what happened?"

Jack directly took out his ID and showed his identity, "FBI Senior Agent Jack Tavole was just passing by here. Five minutes ago, at 5:4, there was an explosion on the first floor of this apartment. It shouldn't be If it is caused by gas, it is recommended that everyone in the building evacuate immediately.”

"OK, I will send someone in immediately to inspect the structural damage, if"

Before the captain finished speaking, Jack grabbed his arm, "No, you didn't understand what I meant. This is not an ordinary gas explosion. Arrange the people inside to evacuate immediately, do you understand?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around and began to order his troops, calling his team members to go into the building and knock on the doors door to door.

Seeing that some residents on the ground floor were gradually walking out of the apartment under the leadership of the firefighters, Jack assisted the EMT in carrying the injured person onto a stretcher. Just as he was about to turn back to find Alexis, a car with its sirens and lights on came on. Saboban rushed to the scene.

He looked at the time and saw that less than 10 minutes had passed since the explosion. The remaining police reinforcements and ambulances had not yet arrived. Is the FBI in New York so efficient? Could it really have come from the sidewalk?
Watching two agents, a man and a woman wearing blue FBI identification jackets, get out of the car and walk to the entrance of the apartment building. They were talking to the fire brigade captain who had just helped a resident out of the apartment. Jack opened his mouth and wanted to say something. The greeting felt a little awkward.

He hasn't officially reported in yet. When he called before, his future boss, Ms. Moge, just asked him to wait at the scene. He was on his way here.

These two people were probably performing other tasks, and they happened to be nearby, so they came in such a timely manner. Now that he had gone up to interrupt, it seemed to be a bit in the way. At this time, several NYPD officers who arrived one after another had already set up a cordon around them, blocking some passers-by who were trying to get closer to take pictures. Jack walked to the cordon and looked at the people looking towards him in the distance. Alexis waved.

The little girl was really obedient. She had been standing at the corner of the street, holding her cell phone and looking eagerly here. When she saw Jack waving to her, she quickly trotted closer.

"Sorry, Alexis, I may not be able to send you home. My superior asked me to..."

Before Jack finished speaking, he felt a feeling like an electric shock rising from his heels, running down his back, and reaching Tianling Gai with a thrilling chill.

He threw Alexis directly and protected her whole body under her in her frightened eyes.

"Be careful."

"Boom!!!"

An explosion several times more powerful than before came from behind him. The shock wave sent up smoke and dust all over the sky, and the choking smoke instantly spread throughout the street.

The NYPD who were originally responsible for maintaining order and the passers-by who were standing around the cordon to watch the excitement were all knocked to the ground. It was like a small earthquake had occurred at the scene.

Jack felt that his whole head was buzzing, and the tinnitus like static noise occupied all of his hearing.

Subconsciously taking a healing shot for himself and Alexis underneath him, he raised his head and turned back to look at the apartment where the secondary explosion occurred.

The two FBI agents who were originally standing at the door of the apartment were gone. Only the fire brigade captain in the fire uniform was visible. Because of the obvious bright green stripes on his body, you could barely see him lying on the sidewalk through the diffuse smoke and dust. He was still protecting the resident who followed him out of the apartment before.

"Oh! My legs!"

"Help!"

"I need help!"

Listening to the cries for help one after another, Jack climbed up from the ground and reached out to pull Alexis up from the ground, who was also looking disgraced. "Find a safe place to stay. I'll go help."

"Angzhi."

Hearing an ominous voice coming from behind, Jack turned around again in shock, only to see that the entrance to the dark apartment building seemed to be the door to hell being opened, and there was a roar like a devil.

From time to time, scattered pieces of glass and bricks fell from the building's exterior walls and clattered onto the sidewalk.

"It's going to fall!" Some people standing further away to watch the excitement suddenly shouted in fear.

"Fuck!" Like a bolt of lightning, Jack flew to the fire brigade captain's side, grabbed him by the collar of his firefighting suit, and grabbed the person under him with the other hand. His muscles bulged, and he forcefully The two lifted it from the ground.

"Jack! Be careful!" Jack staggered and ran away. Amid Alexis's shrill scream, most of the escape ladder originally installed on the outer wall of the apartment fell behind him with a loud noise. .

Jack half-carried one person in one hand and ran wildly. Behind him, the six-story apartment that was covered in bruises after being blasted twice collapsed. The smoke and dust in the sky instantly covered the surrounding crowd. For a while, the whole street was covered with black and blue. Fallen into deathly silence.
