"So what happened?"

A cry came up: "This isn't a malfunction, is it?"

"That movement just now was wrong."

This excited and high-pitched female voice continued to scream: "Is it a bomb?"

"I bought it."

"bomb?"

"Don't talk nonsense, damn it."

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the elevator shook even more violently.

This is what Perry is worried about. In the face of a life-and-death crisis, there is no guarantee that the people inside will do something stupid, which will only put their lives at greater risk.

Although now, these people are on the death list.

"Farke."

Ethan grabbed the vertical ladder and shouted at the bottom: "Shut up, stay calm, and don't move."

The elevator swayed, suspended in mid-air.

This scene made him nervous.

It was so dark and rumbling underneath that Ethan didn't even bother to look at it. It was so scary that he would fall down.

Neither deny nor admit it.

This response actually confirmed what the woman just said.

To Ethan's expectation, the elevator became calm, except for a few cries from inside.

"listen to me."

He patiently said in a deep voice: "Things are not as bad as you think."

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

His voice echoed in the elevator shaft.

"Do you promise?" The woman's voice sounded again, asking tremblingly: "You will find a way?"

"Yes, I promise."

Ethan waved his hand, indicating to Erin to continue climbing up.

The butt wrapped in jeans was swaying above his head. He had no intention of watching it now. After watching it for a few seconds, he looked away.

After all, there were thirteen lives inside.

If there is a chance, of course we must find a way to save the person.

After turning over and getting out of the elevator shaft, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Without any time to think about it, Erin immediately sent the photos she took to Hank.

At this time, I don’t know where the bomb squad is.

Ethan wiped the sweat from his palms on his bulletproof vest. It was still scary to step into the abyss just now.

"Uh-huh."

As soon as he put down his hand, he immediately picked up the assault rifle and pointed to the side.

Erin and Rusek saw this and hurriedly followed.

"Hey."

A man in a black suit came out of the corner. He saw three guns pointed at him. He was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands: "I am the security guard of the building. Don't shoot."

"do not move."

Ethan walked over quickly, looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand, and then searched him.

Then he picked up the work badge hanging on his chest. He had a big back, a high nose, and bright eyes. It was exactly the same as the photo. However, Ethan still held down the microphone to check with the people below, and then signaled to the other two people. Put down the gun.

"I came down from above to check on the evacuation."

The security guard put down his hands and said in shock: "We have just reached this level."

"Feel sorry."

Ethan patted his shoulder and walked back.

The security guard didn't mind either, but he couldn't figure out how these people knew which way they came out.

"How is the situation now?"

He was quite enthusiastic. He walked forward quickly and poked his head at the opened elevator entrance.

"Ethan." Hank's anxious voice sounded in the headset:

"The bomb disposal team has already seen the photos you sent. They said there is no need to come up. The bomb was installed very professionally and there is no way to defuse it before the countdown ends."

"The most important thing is that there are remote control settings on it."

"If the bomber notices something is wrong, he can detonate at any time."

"We have no choice now. We can only apply for money. In addition, negotiators are communicating with the bomber."

Not only Ethan, but Erin and Rusek could also hear these words.

Erin's eyebrows furrowed and she pressed the microphone:

"How powerful is the bomb? Can we open the safety window at the top of the elevator and let the people inside climb out?"

The risk is still high, but it's better than doing nothing.

Maybe we can rescue all the people inside before the bomber notices.

"I don't recommend you do this."

After the headset was quiet for a while, Hank's voice continued: "According to the analysis of the bomb disposal team, the power is not very powerful, but if you get close enough, it will still be no problem to kill people."

"In addition, we don't know if the bomber has other means to monitor the elevator."

"If something abnormal happens, he might detonate it in advance."

"Shet."

Erin let go of the microphone and cursed.

"What's the situation with the negotiators?" Ethan asked.

"There is no good news." Hank sighed and said in a low voice: "The other party will not make any compromises. They must see the money first."

"There are differences of opinion at the top, and Director Perry is trying to figure it out."

"You guys stay on standby first."

After he finished his sentence, the headset returned to silence.

"Click."

The lighter was lit, Ethan bit the cigarette and took a long drag.

It's already this time, and there are still differences of opinion.

Helplessly blowing out the smoke, he also understood a little bit the thoughts of the higher-ups in the police station. Everyone was sitting in different positions and naturally thinking about different things.

This time, three million.

So if something similar happens again, should we still give it?

If this continues, the police station will become a cash machine for some daring people.

This is a difficult decision to make without careful consideration.

I glanced at my watch. It took nearly six minutes to run up. Including the time spent in the elevator shaft, a full ten minutes had passed. There were still twenty minutes left before the countdown.

"Hey, I have an idea."

At this moment, the security guard lying on the elevator access platform turned around and said anxiously: "I just don't know if it will be useful."

"you say."

Ethan took two puffs on his cigarette and threw the butt away.

At this time, just having an idea is better than waiting helplessly.

"Is such that."

The security guard pointed upward: "There is a crane on the rooftop. Do you think it is possible to use the crane to hook the elevator from above?"

"Even if something unexpected happens, I should be able to hold on for a while."

Ethan thought, this is a good idea. Anyway, it is a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor. No matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than it is now.

"Take us up there to see it."

After patting the security guard on the shoulder, Ethan said to Rusek: "You stay here and be careful."

"rest assured."

Rusek gestured with his OK finger and squatted against the wall.

Under the leadership of the security personnel, Ethan and Irene followed him and ran quickly to the fire stairs.

"correct."

Ethan forgot his name and asked the bright-eyed security guard: "Thank you very much for your help. What should I call you?"

"Blue and orange."

The security guard waved his hand: "My friends all call me that."

"Besides, there is no need to thank you. This is what I should do. No one should be thrown to death like this." (End of Chapter)
