"Bang."

The rooftop door was slammed open, and the hustle and bustle of the city instantly reached my ears.

But it was more the sound of the wind. Now they were on the roof of a building more than 100 meters high. Chicago was worthy of the name of the windy city, and the wind made their clothes flutter.

The three of them walked out together, and Ethan and Erin looked up.

On the edge of the roof, there is a railing that is more than ten meters high and looks like a parapet. The steel structure is intertwined in the glass curtain wall.

"The boom is over there."

Lan Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed upward.

A yellow crane came into view, and the hook under the steel cable swayed gently in the wind.

"Very good."

When Erin saw this, she clenched her fists excitedly.

"You wait here."

Lan Cheng was about to say something, but Ethan interrupted him.

Waving their arms, the two of them quickly searched the roof of the building with their guns. Ethan relied on the radar and ran quickly on it until he was sure that there was no one else, then he returned to where he was.

"The only way to get the crane's cable into the elevator shaft is through here."

Lan Cheng waved his arm and pointed to a tower building not far from the boom: "This place is the vent at the top of the elevator shaft."

Looking at the tall exhaust port, Ethan slapped his palm and the chewing gum flew into his mouth:

"How do you know so much?"

"This is my job."

Lancheng knocked on the work card on his chest and gave an impeccable reason.

"good."

Ethan gave him a thumbs up, glanced around, and made quick calculations in his mind.

A few seconds later, under his arrangement, the three people took action.

They ran to the vertical ladder next to it and climbed up.

After arriving on the second floor, I ran forward along the narrow corridor, my boots thumping on the steel walkway.

There was another vertical ladder ahead, and Ethan continued to go up.

The other two people moved forward and walked quickly to the bottom of the crane. Erin climbed over the simple guardrail and swallowed her saliva while looking at the steel beam that was only 30 centimeters wide below.

To jump up here, walk forward three or four meters to find the vent.

If you are not careful, you will fall to the rooftop below.

It's not very high, four or five meters.

But the possibility of breaking his leg is still very high.

"How about I do it instead?"

Lan Cheng felt a little confused when he saw it, and asked quickly.

"Need not."

Erin calmed down, clasped her hands on the aisle, and hung her body in the air.

After adjusting her position, she released her hands.

"boom."

Her feet landed firmly on the beam, and her arms were raised flat. After a slight sway, Erin stabilized her body.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Erin blinked her eyelids quickly, raised her hands in the air, and made a rocking gesture.

Ethan, who was watching all this, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

He climbed up quickly using his hands and feet, and soon reached the top of the tall fence.

"Huh~"

The wind was much stronger above, making my hair tremble wildly.

Now, here.

This is the real edge of high-rise buildings.

At an altitude of more than a hundred meters, Ethan looked like a little ant when viewed from a distance.

And he was overlooking the city of Chicago.

From here, you can see Lake Michigan in the distance, all the way to the end of the horizon.

Below, on the busy street.

The mobile car is really about the size of a matchbox.

Although his legs were a little weak, Ethan still grabbed the guardrail, walked forward quickly, and soon came to the crane arm.

The steel cable sticking out is as thick as a thumb.

The hook is also big enough.

But this is just a small crane with a height of more than two meters, and I don’t know how long it can support it. But if something like that really happens, I hope it can hold on for one more minute.

"Is the rope long enough?"

Ethan grabbed the remote control board, looked at the large winch, and asked Lan Cheng underneath.

"No problem." Lan Cheng nodded firmly:

"If I remember correctly, the steel cable is about thirty meters long."

"Our building has thirty-three floors, which is enough."

"Hurry up." Erin's body swayed, and she shouted anxiously: "Don't trust my balance ability too much."

"Buzz."

Ethan immediately pressed the button to release the steel cable from the electric winch.

Lan Cheng below him caught the hook, moved it to a suitable position, and continued to lower it down. Irene saw the iron hook hanging in front of her eyes and quickly reached out to grab it.

As the rope was slowly lowered, she carefully moved forward.

Go to the vent, open the blades, and throw the iron hook in hard.

Lan Cheng let go, and Irene quickly stuffed the steel cable inside.

Time passed by, and when there were still three or four meters left in the winch, it felt that the height was almost the same, and Ethan stopped what he was doing.

Putting down the remote control panel, he walked back quickly.

At the vertical staircase, I met Lan Cheng, who looked a little nervous.

"remember."

Ethan grabbed his arm and said in a deep voice: "Pull it once, put it down, pull it twice, and put it up."

"Every time you retract or retract one meter, you have to stop and wait for the next action command."

"If you don't have an action order, don't move."

"I will remember." Lan Cheng nodded heavily and stretched out his fist towards Ethan: "I have no problem here. I'll leave the rest to you."

The two fist bumped and their bodies intertwined.

Ethan climbed down quickly, quickly returned to the rooftop, and walked below Irene.

"You caught it."

Erin swallowed, she leaned down, pulled the beam with her arms, and hung her body up.

At this height, she would have no problem jumping down now.

But in this situation, there was no need to add more accidental risks. Ethan opened his arms and caught Irene steadily.

When it fell into his arms, he weighed the weight on his hands:

"You weigh almost 110 pounds, right?"

"roll!"

Irene pushed him away and strode towards the rooftop door.

After taking only a few steps, she couldn't help but turn around and said, "The gun on me is heavier."

It’s not that the gun is heavier, it’s that the mouth is tougher.

Ethan smiled and shook his head, and followed her quickly back to the 32nd floor. As soon as he arrived at the waiting hall, he saw Rusek standing up warily.

"How about it?"

He hugged the gun and asked Irene, who looked annoyed: "Can that crane arm bear the weight?"

"weight?"

Irene was excited and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "What weight do you mean?"

"ah?"

Rusek was confused.

"Don't worry about her." Ethan chuckled: "Detective Lindsay is crazy."

Seeing Ethan sticking his butt up to get into the elevator shaft, Irene resisted the urge to kick him. She gritted her teeth and followed him in.

A single steel cable hung from above.

The rope fell next to the elevator and fell several meters down.

He and Eileen leaned against the wall of the elevator shaft, looked down carefully, and swallowed in unison. Several bombs were looming, as if they would explode at any time.

"Only five minutes left."

Rusek poked his head in and out of the entrance and whispered.

"you shut up."

Ethan and Irene shouted in unison. (End of chapter)
