Chapter 31 NO.001f: Hostages and Crowbars

"In my opinion, we still need to take a few children as hostages now."

After the members of the Lobotomy Gang were repulsed by the firepower from the opposite side, they found a classroom and began to discuss countermeasures.

In the middle of the discussion, Long Tau, who had been silent before, spoke for no reason.

Then, regardless of the gazes around him, he began to explain calmly why the most important thing for them now was to take hostages.

He said that because the heavy equipment that the company promised to support had not been delivered, they could not break through the firepower deployed by the other side.

Moreover, after launching the 'Realm of Silence', they also failed to seize the best opportunity for a surprise attack, which gave the opponent enough time to prepare.

In addition, for some unknown reason, Icarus' high-level executive, that Booker Irwin who was at the depth 3 transformation level, happened to appear here.

So now, the right time, place and people are not on their side.

If they still wanted to complete the task and get the universal printer, they had to use some less glorious tricks.

"So, we need to take the children here as hostages, even if there is only one."

Long Tau finally concluded.

There was a silence around his words.

So people looked at each other in blank dismay, not because the other party's opinion was wrong, but because...

"Don't be silly, are you a goldfish with a memory of only 5 seconds? Smart boy."

A few seconds later, the veteran who led the team was the first to come back to his senses and said.

At this moment, he was using a dagger to pick out the bullets embedded in his body one by one.

Before, he tried to use his modified body to break through the firepower network set up by the opponent. However, under the ferocious firepower, he couldn't stand it for three seconds and retreated. Although the defense was not breached, more than a dozen bullets were still embedded in his strengthened muscle fibers.

"And if the other party's reinforcements arrive, then we can at least retreat with the help of the hostages. Instead of being captured alive by Icarus's people, then..."

Long Tau ignored the other party, but continued to say it like chanting.

The veteran's action of picking bullets stopped, and he raised his eyes to look at the guy who had just completed the adjustment and transformation not long ago.

"The plan to capture hostages has gone bankrupt. We searched here just now, don't you remember? Not to mention hostages, there is not even a ghost... This is actually a TM military academy, understand? Before we opened After three minutes of silence, the boy scouts have already completed their evacuation."

He looked at the guy in front of him who had just undergone adjustment and transformation not long ago, and said so impatiently.

I don't know if these words convinced the other party, Long Tau lowered his head when he heard the words. Although he was still murmuring something in his mouth, he didn't reply for a while.

Seeing this, the veteran breathed a sigh of relief, he turned to look at the others, and continued his previously interrupted arrangement:

"Now that we know the opponent's firepower situation, the possibility of continuing to attack is not too great, so we have to use the ventilation pipe..."

"Then if there are no children as hostages, what's the point of us coming here?!"

It was also at this time that Long Tau, who had lowered his head before, suddenly raised his head. He grabbed the gang veteran who led the team by the neck, and directly pressed him against a desk.

Staring at the other party with the prosthetic eye that was shining red light, Long Tau almost gritted his teeth and said:

"You must be lying to everyone. There must be children who are alone here. As long as we find them, our plan will be successful! You can't even understand this, do you want to do it?"

Everyone around was taken aback by the opponent's sudden attack, and immediately came over to try to tear him away.

However, in the next second, Long Tau, who was pinching the opponent, directly flew out with his body bowed.

He knocked over several desks and chairs along the way, and didn't stop until he hit the load-bearing wall hard.

The veteran who had been strangled by the opponent earlier stood up from the desk. Then, he looked at Long Tau who was kicked away by himself, and said with a complicated expression:

"That's fine, then I order you to go to those children who are alone, and you can't come back if you don't find them."

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Under the nervous eyes of everyone, Long Tau, who had been kicked flying earlier, stood up unsteadily like a marionette, with an incomparably pervasive smile on his face.

"I knew you could understand me, don't worry... promise to complete the task!"

After speaking, the man laughed and limped out of the classroom.

A member of the Lobotomy Gang seemed to be going to stop him, but was stopped by the veteran who got up.

"Don't try to persuade, it's useless."

The other party shook his head.

And looking at the back of that person going away, the member of the lobotomy gang asked carefully:

"Long Tau, what happened to him?"

In my own impression, the other party was not such a person in the past...

"nothing."

The veteran who led the team straightened his collar and said with a complicated expression:

"It's just another lunatic who couldn't bear his own adjustment and transformation, and his mental index fell into the uncanny valley of mental terror... just treat him as a dead person."

…………

After finishing the additional data structure homework, Xia Hu put down his earphones and felt that something was wrong with his surroundings.

It's too quiet... At this time of weekdays, the corridor should still be very lively. But after he opened the door and went out, there was not even half a person outside.

"Is the lounge showing a movie again?"

Walking in the empty corridor, Xia Hu couldn't help but shuddered when he heard the echo of his footsteps, and then quickened his pace.

After walking quickly through a few corners, he almost ran into a dark figure head-on.

"Ah, right..."

After raising her head to see clearly the appearance of that black shadow, Xia Hu's subconscious apology was stuck.

The visitor was a tall, burly man. At the position of his skull, there is a ferocious suture line like a centipede.

The opponent has a prosthetic eye that always glows red, and his hands are covered with a layer of metal scales like snake scales.

At this moment, those metal scales were trembling slightly like a rattlesnake, making dangerous noises that sent chills down the spine.

"Kid, are you lost?"

The man was looking at him with a smile on his face, and asked in a very gentle voice.

In addition, for some reason, there was a sunken shoe print on the lower abdomen of the opponent's clothes.

Xia Hu didn't know this person.

There is no adult in the Chiron family who looks like him, and in my impression, the volunteer uncles and aunts who usually bring snacks do not have people like him.

Although the teacher often taught them not to judge people by their appearance, Xia Hu immediately classified the other party as a "bad person" in his heart when he saw the other party's honor.

"I'm not lost, my teacher is still waiting for me in the lounge...I'll go first."

Xia Hu, who felt her heart was pounding, said so.

As he said that, he planned to bypass the other party directly, and hurried to the health room to find Brother Liao Qi and Uncle Booker.

But the opponent reached out and stopped him.

"But kid, uncle is lost now, can you help uncle lead the way?"

After stopping himself, the other party still looked at him with a smile on his face, and then continued:

"Can you take uncle to the safe house where you usually evacuate in an emergency?"

Hearing this, Xia Hu, who was sure that there must be something wrong with the other party, gritted her teeth, turned around and ran back.

But the other party did not catch up immediately as he had expected, but stood still and laughed for a while.

After several seconds, the man's voice caught up with him from behind:

"Run, kid, run away, and remember to hide better, uncle will come to you soon."

…………

"Are you sure you're going?"

Seeing that Liao Qi, who was quickly changing himself into tactical equipment, Winston asked worriedly.

"Do not worry."

The latter picked up the Scorpio-type pulse pistol that had been placed on the weapon rack before, and then replied briefly.

"But you have just completed the adjustment and transformation, so immediately..."

"Then why do you think I should undergo adjustments?"

After finishing his equipment, Jiang Zhou asked back.

Winston sighed, then said:

"The comrades who guarded the intersection before said that there were at least three adjusters among the invaders."

"learn."

Jiang Zhou replied.

That can just be used to test the strength of your own after adjustment and transformation.

he thought.

"So what I mean is, that G72-Wolfhound has to stay and guard here."

Winston continued.

G72-Wolfdog is a police support mechanical dog developed by Vista Intelligent Controls. Although it is used for support, it can withstand a machine gun squad in the past in a short period of time when it is fully fired.

"You can rest assured."

After crossing nearly thirty steps from the basement to the door, Jiang Zhou opened the explosion-proof door and looked back at Winston.

"After I rescue the little shrimp goby, I will come to support you immediately...By the way, is there any handy melee weapon here?"

…………

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Xia Hu held her breath.

The personal terminal on my body has no signal, and the road to the health room and the security department is blocked by the other party, and I can't bring the bad guy to the direction of the dormitory.

So, he finally chose to go back and run towards the teaching floor.

It was already the end of get out of class time, and the teaching staff should have no other talents except themselves.

This is also what Brother Liao said in the past. On the street, when you are being chased to the end of the road, you must never lure the bad guys in the direction of home.

It can be seen that the other party has been modified with a prosthetic body, if he just runs, he will definitely be caught up by the other party... Even if he didn't, it is impossible for a child to run faster than an adult.

Therefore, Xia Hu finally found a hidden storage room and hid in it.

If the other party didn't find him, but continued to walk upstairs, then he could take this opportunity to run out, go to the health room, find Brother Liao and Uncle Booker, and beat that bad guy to the ground.

"Little friend, you have to hide well, uncle is here to find you~"

As the footsteps got closer, Xia Hu gently raised her hands to cover her nose and mouth.

"One, two, three... one, two, three..."

When he walked a certain distance, the man suddenly said a counting sound with unknown meaning.

On the door of the storage room, there are several narrow gaps for ventilation. But unless he put his eyes on it, Xia Hu couldn't see what was going on outside, he could only see a few rays of light coming in from outside.

Of course, he would not be so stupid as to look closely, even in order not to let the other party notice him, he avoided those gaps early in the morning and shrank in the corner of the locker.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the other party seemed to be coming to this room soon.

"One, two, three, kid, have you hid here?"

The footsteps of the other party obviously stopped at the door of the room, and then walked in.

"Just let me take a look, open! One, two, three..."

With a "snap", the door of the locker was slammed open.

Xia Hu covered her mouth and closed her eyes trembling.

"Not here."

There was a row of lockers, and the one opened by the other party was not the one Xia Hu was hiding.

"Could it be this? Go! One, two, three..."

This time, it was a door opening sound closer to him.

Even though this time, Xia Hu knew that the other party opened the door was not his own, but when he heard the "snap", he still trembled slightly involuntarily, and tears flowed down involuntarily.

"Not here either."

over...

Xia Hu thought desperately.

If the other party opens the cabinet doors one by one, at most ten seconds later, they will open to their own cabinet.

"Go! One, two, three..."

"It's not this..."

...

After opening five cabinets in a row, finally, the light coming in was blocked by a shadow on the gap in the door of the cabinet where Yu Xia Hu was hiding.

"One two three, one two three, one two three..."

For some reason, the other party's counting speed suddenly became rapid.

"Then see if it's this."

After a pause, the other party said.

But also at this time, a loud bang suddenly came from above. It sounded like something had slammed onto the roof of the building.

"Boss?"

The person standing outside the cabinet seemed to be a little puzzled and said to himself.

Immediately, the shadow outside the cabinet door disappeared with the sound of footsteps.

Only then did Xia Hu realize that she almost held her breath until she had a cerebral hemorrhage.

However, even if he let go of his hand, he still didn't dare to take a big breath, he just opened his mouth wide, panting silently.

Let the snot and tears flow down continuously.

Although he didn't know what miracle happened to save him just now, but at this moment he thanked the other party from the bottom of his heart.

After dozens of seconds, when his hands had almost stopped shaking, Xia Hu carefully looked out through the gap, and after confirming that the other party was not hiding around, he pushed open the cabinet door extremely slowly.

Fortunately, fortunately, I was not discovered by the other party...

"one two three……"

After walking out of the cabinet door, a voice came from behind him.

Xia Hu froze in place as if frozen.

Stuck in his neck, he looked back with difficulty, and then he saw...

The other party squatted on top of the locker, looking at him with a smile.

He never left!

"one two three……"

After speeding up and reciting the unknown number, the other party said with a smile:

"Listen, now your heart rate is getting faster again."

Amidst the screams, the man jumped up from the cabinet, and his hands covered with silver scales strangled Xia Hu's throat.

Then, Long Tau, who was stagnant in mid-air, was beaten by Jiang Zhou who rushed over from the door with a titanium alloy crowbar in his hand and flew to the locker behind him.
