Chapter 43: No, this is a special soldier of Huaxia

  Five snipers were in position, under the command of Zhang Shidong who was holding a walkie-talkie. They occupied three nearby sniper points, with two people at each of two locations and one person at the third location. The lines they sealed off included the rooftop and the front and back doors. The lone individual was the best shot, and after Zhang Shidong asked if he had confidence in making a headshot within 400 meters without visual conditions, he arranged for him to work together with himself. If there were really thugs holding hostages and Zhang Shidong couldn't resolve it, he would take risks and open fire at any time according to Zhang Shidong's orders.

  Engineers and drawings were also brought in, Zhang Shidong spread out the drawings on the hood of the Q7, Zhao Meiru specially arranged several construction engineers to be ready to answer Zhang Shidong's questions at any time. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he stunned everyone, roughly glancing at the architectural drawings, and began to point out one position after another to ask the construction engineer questions. Sometimes his questions were too sharp and professional, and the other side had to consider them for a moment before answering.

  The fire department began to set up, and the special police who entered the mall received a death order to withdraw. From their intercoms, they all knew about the sacrifice of their comrades. One by one, with red eyes, they applied to go back in and eliminate the thugs. Their self-esteem did not allow them to retreat like this. Hatred made them begin to disregard death and danger.

  Time was passing bit by bit, and the people on the scene were all carrying heavy stones in their hearts. The emotions of the nearby crowd were becoming increasingly unstable, and the reporters carrying cameras on the periphery were constantly trying to rush in, shouting things like "we have the right to know".

  The pressure on each leader is also increasing, the provincial party secretary and governor have pushed away all external affairs activities and meeting arrangements, and have set out to rush to Pingjiang. The three levels of leadership in the province, city, and district are almost all present. For them, how to arrange the rescue task without interfering with the mouth, they came to give confidence to those who execute the task, is to give confidence to the commanding officer who arranges the task, with us standing behind you, don't be afraid of anything.

  A more important task is to discuss various countermeasures, whether it's for the media or the public, there must be a tone, as time goes on, the news on the internet and in the press gets more and more exaggerated, people's reactions have exceeded everyone's expectations, perhaps it's the nation's curiosity about sensational things, or maybe it's been too calm for too long and needs stimulation like a movie, people who don't know what happened at the scene made guesses.

  It has to be said that the imagination of the Chinese people has reached an extreme, at least dozens of guesses are 80-90% consistent with reality. Many people exclaimed that a real-life blockbuster is about to unfold in China, far surpassing Hollywood productions. Among these people, some who have lost contact with their loved ones sent out cries for help, hoping that the departments that have been gradually demonized by the Chinese people can fulfill their due functions.

  Lin Ziqiang's lips were dry and cracked, he was the undisputed highest commander on the scene, in his professional field, he must be the first person responsible for everything. The provincial party secretary had just personally talked to him, giving him confidence, telling him that this matter must be done with all one's might, without any pressure, even if there were problems, the provincial party committee and government would stand at the forefront.

  The tip of his tongue lightly licked his lips, Lin Ziqiang walked to Zhang Shidong who was propping himself up with the architectural drawings: "How is it, do you need anything? Just let me know."

  Zhang Shidong took out four handguns, with a movement that was almost magical, all four guns were disassembled into parts, and then reassembled in less than thirty seconds. Zhang Shidong continuously pulled the trigger without a magazine, feeling the weight of the gun in his hand, all four guns were tied to his leg. He raised his head and suddenly smiled at everyone who was paying attention to him: "These guys are professional bandits, they have all been in battles abroad, or have at least ten cases on their backs, we have clashed with them many times before. This time, their goal is not just to rescue someone to create a terrorist incident. I just found a vault in this building, which was left by the bank when it was built. I don't know what big move Pingjiang Bank has recently made, but there's one thing I want to know right away: who else was kidnapped today besides the escaped prisoner?"

  "There's only one old man who killed his young wife forty years younger than him." Someone had already collected enough evidence.

  Zhang Shidong's eyes narrowed: "Investigate the true identity of this old man, and if necessary, ask Interpol for help. By the way, everyone, if there are no survivors, do you have any objections?" The last sentence was said by Zhang Shidong with a sneer, which relaxed the tense atmosphere that had made everyone sweat.

  "Look quickly!"

  It was unclear who shouted, drawing everyone's attention away. A female police officer with a strange expression took over a tablet computer displaying video content from a private blog. The shaky video didn't lose its clarity, and in the noisy environment, there were occasional low, crisp sounds of the video owner explaining and commenting on the video.

  In the video, hundreds of people are squatting on the ground, crowded together. If it weren't for the video's commentary, many people would only have a passing interest in this video and wouldn't find any substantial content.

  The policewoman explained: "The other party is a news anchor from Huaxia TV, I don't know why he was in the building and became one of the hostages, but now..."

  She opened the latest uploaded video, and the beautiful and elegant female anchor was no longer in the crowd. In this video, there were clearer images of Zhang Jun and the female anchor, as well as more videos switching between different angles inside the mall with almost no blind spots. The killer who was once caught by Zhang Shidong appeared at the end of the video, sneering at the camera and saying: "Are you here?"

  The female police officer continued: "Now people all over the country know about this incident in Pingjiang, and the number of reposts has exceeded 10 million within just ten minutes."

  Awesome!

  All the leaders present clenched their fists tightly and cursed silently in their hearts. If this matter is not handled properly, Pingjiang and even the entire Beihai will become a national focus.

  Previously, the municipal leaders received a call from the provincial leaders, now the provincial leaders receive a call from the top leaders of Yanjing, and the level of the event has quickly escalated, already on par with terrorist incidents.

  At this moment, even Lin Ziqiang, who had absolute confidence in Zhang Shidong, couldn't hold back. He had to react according to conventional means. The SWAT team and armed police began preparing for a strong assault on the Dongfang Mall, aiming to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, even if it meant sacrificing some personnel. The government would never compromise with any criminal behavior - this was the answer given by Beihai Province after the video became public news.

  "How come every time it comes to a critical moment, there's always some weird woman who thinks differently and does something stupid with her brain-dead ideas?"

  Sound fell, not waiting for everyone's reaction, a armed police uniform was put on his body, carrying four guns and rushed to one side of the mall. Kong Xue Dong finally found an opportunity to counterattack and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and let him come back, this is not the time for heroism, we must believe in the power of collective strength. What can he do alone..."

  Bang!

  For Kong Xue Dong, the cruel reality gave him another slap in the face. Others had never taken the initiative to provoke him, but he always stuck out his face and let others slap him, as if not being slapped would make him unhappy.

  The words had not been finished, countless voices gathered together in a strange tone, covering up his voice. Then everyone's eyes focused on the external downspout at the junction of the front and right sides of the building.

  "Mommy, Mommy, look quickly, it's Spiderman!" The chubby little girl pulled her mother's hand.

  "No, no, Daddy, that's Batman!" The little boy holding a Transformers toy rides on his father's neck.

  "No, kids, this is a special soldier of Huaxia!" said a retired veteran who was delivering mineral water on a tricycle with tears in his eyes.
