Chapter 135 The attack target appears
The explosion of one kilogram of TNT can theoretically produce 4.2 million joules of energy. According to the calculation that 1 joule is equal to 0.102 kilograms, the energy released by one kilogram of TNT can move an object of the same weight 420 kilometers. The explosion of 20 kilograms of TNT is approximately equivalent to a conventional missile, enough Blow up a three-story apartment building.
But don’t forget, the power of C4 high explosives must be multiplied by 1.34 times!
So Gu Ji was definitely not joking.
Once a bomber detonates a bomb and blows up the load-bearing wall of a 23-story building, it is very likely to cause the effect of directional dumping, causing the collapse of buildings in high-rise areas. At that time, buildings with more than ten stories high will fall to the ground. Who knows what will happen again? What death and destruction.
Gu Jixing rushed into the lobby of the office building as fast as he could, and climbed over the access control system in one step.
The alarm sounds.
Four or five security personnel rushed over to stop him.
"I'm sorry, sir, this is an office space and you are not allowed to enter without a pass or reservation!"
"Sir, please leave here immediately! Otherwise we will call the police!"
One of the older black security men seemed to have received some professional training. Judging from the damage to Gu Ji's shirt, the red blood on his elbows, and the shielding device in his hand, he judged that he might be a dangerous person and immediately raised his hand. He called out the police and secretly touched his hand to his waist.
This is formal security.
Instead of being like the Volut R\u0026D Center, they just fired without even saying a word to persuade them to leave.
"I am Saffron Barron. Evacuate everyone in the office building immediately. There is probably a high-explosive bomb hidden on the 23rd floor. The EOD bomb disposal team of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau will be here soon!"
"What, a bomb!?"
"Are you Saffron Barron?"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of several security guards suddenly changed, and the older security guard immediately pulled out the Taser stun gun from his waist.
This thing is very common in the US police's routine explosion protection and civilian self-defense.
It subdues the target by firing charged "darts". There is a pneumatic magazine filled with nitrogen inside the gun. After the trigger is pulled, the high-pressure nitrogen in the magazine is quickly released, firing out the two electrodes in the gun chamber. The range is 7 About meters.
After hitting the target, the barb can hook on the suspect's clothes and discharge through 5 cm thick clothes. It can discharge multiple times within 5 seconds, each time lasting one millionth of a second, causing the criminal to be covered in bullets. The muscles spasmed and curled up into a ball.
But Gu Ji had already spotted his attack movements with his peripheral vision.
The moment the opponent pulled out the stun gun, he took out the Glock 19X.
"ah!"
"Run!"
…
The surrounding front desks and passers-by shivered several times when they saw the pistol screaming, and ran to hide in various surrounding buildings.
The change came suddenly.
Although the remaining security guards were panicked, they relied on their usual training experience and took out their stun guns and surrounded Gu Ji.
"Believe me, if I really want to take action, I will never give you a chance to draw your gun!"
When Gu Ji said this, his eyes were always fixed on the middle-aged black security guard, who should be the leader of these people.
Somehow.
The black security guard actually felt that the young man in front of him was not lying.
Although he has a childish baby face that is harmless to humans and animals, he gives people an indescribable feeling of solemnity and depression, as if he is being targeted by something serious and dangerous, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Moreover, the opponent drew his gun very quickly, and he obviously had professional training.
His eyes changed for two seconds before the black security guard suddenly spoke:
"I need to ask the police for evidence!"
"Yes, but it's too late. I have to go to the 23rd floor immediately to check. You guys have to evacuate the building as soon as possible!!"
When Gu Ji saw that the hostility in the opponent's eyes had completely disappeared, he took the initiative to put down the muzzle of the gun, but his finger never left the trigger.
Perhaps it was this behavior that gave him points.
After the black security guard arranged for one of his subordinates to call the police, he and another subordinate took Gu Ji into the elevator.
After reaching the 23rd floor.
The words "Fuen Capital" are written on the glass door at the door, which should be a fund investment company.
The automatic door opened, and a young and beautiful blond female secretary at the front desk stood up immediately and looked at Gu and the others with a smile: "What do you have..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Gu Ji took a big step, turned over and jumped onto the front desk.
"ah!"
"What are you doing! Security! Security!"
…
The female secretary at the front desk covered her mouth and screamed, and hurriedly hid aside. Analysts, researchers and other staff in the office area were also attracted by the silence and looked over.
Under everyone's nervousness.
Gu Ji successfully removed the air outlet grille of the building's fresh air system located in the corner. According to the location of the computer's explosive discharge map, he stretched out his hand and touched a ball of half a fist-sized object.
Naturally, the black security guard also saw a yellow object with red light. He, who used to work in the police station, naturally recognized it at a glance. It was a C4 plastic bomb!
"Security room, security room, all personnel immediately go to the 23rd floor of the building to evacuate the crowd!"
"It's not the 23rd floor, it's the entire building. This is just for preparing explosives. The real main explosives are at least 20 kilograms."
When Gu Ji said this number.
The black security guard almost fell over.
They had long heard about the bombing that occurred in New York today, so they specially strengthened security in the lobby, underground parking lot and other areas. However, they never expected that this terrorist attack would still befall them.
He quickly pressed the intercom on his chest:
"Command center! Command center! This is Charis. A large amount of C4 plastic explosives were found on the 23rd floor of the office building. Sound the alarm immediately and make a broadcast to evacuate the building. Hurry!"
"Where is your person in charge? Have you seen any large suspicious objects in the manager-level office in the past few days!"
Gu Ji grabbed the blond female secretary beside him and pressed for key information.
The female secretary was probably frightened by the scene in front of her, and it took her a while to react, "The person in charge is in the innermost office, and there is a suspicious object... I don't know, but the company is being renovated these days, and many workers have been here. , will move some office furniture and the like.”
That's right.
According to the EOD distribution in the computer architectural diagram, 20 kilograms of explosives were placed in the office. At first, he thought that the drawing was wrong, or that the terrorists did not want to leak the core location.
Now it seems that the bomber disguised himself as a decoration worker, hid the main bomb in a cardboard box of office furniture, and placed it in the office of the target.
Therefore.
That's why they would so blatantly plant bombs in an office building with surveillance cameras everywhere.
At this time, a delicate middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a prickly hair walked quickly and looked at Gu Ji and the security personnel up and down.
"I am Stephen, the director of the investment research department of Fuen Capital. What happened?"
"Take me to the company's renovated office in the east area immediately!"
Gu Ji was no longer too lazy to explain anymore and directly gave the order, with an unquestionable tone in his words.
The blond female secretary on the side hurriedly told the story about the bomb.
Stephen's eyes widened.
"The office being renovated in the East District... is the trading department manager Laald. I will take you there right now, Roy, and evacuate all employees immediately!"
It has to be said that senior executives who can serve as department heads of investment companies also have certain abilities. At least in terms of calm handling, they are much better than ordinary people.
Soon, Gu Ji arrived at the first office in the East District.
There is a white nameplate affixed to the wooden door at the entrance, which reads Trading Manager of the Investment Research Department: Rauld Mittal.
Gu Ji always felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
After thinking carefully, I remembered that the Saeva who surprised Gillian also had the last name Mittal!
Vaguely, he felt like he had grasped something important.
Supervisor Stephen knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response from the room. A researcher from the outer office immediately stood up and said:
"Supervisor, the manager has left."
"Leaved? When?"
"Just now, it seemed that he was leaving with the workers..."
boom!
Before the researcher could finish speaking, Gu Ji kicked the door open without saying a word. The room had just been renovated. There was only a desk and bookcase, and nothing else.
"Where are the things in the office?"
"It should have been moved. Three or four minutes ago I thought I saw two workers in blue work clothes moving a large wooden box with a trolley..."
"Charis, seal off the underground parking lot immediately! The suspect has just kidnapped the target and left the company. Everyone should leave the 23rd floor immediately and follow the emergency exit route and take the fire stairs. There will be an explosion here soon!"
Gu Ji yelled and ran towards the fire elevator outside the company.
As soon as this sentence was shouted, all the employees fled in panic, and they didn't even have time to clear away their belongings on the table.
After hearing the shouting, black security guard Charis hurriedly pressed the intercom to notify his colleagues to intercept.
But what he didn't expect was.
Just when his colleague had just answered half a sentence, a series of gunshots came from the intercom, and the number of casualties in the lower right corner of Gu Ji's sight instantly increased by one!
Oops!
The Unabomber is going to take action!
He immediately turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Those at the exit should run quickly! The rest of the people should find cover immediately, find cover!!"
Boom!
In just a moment, the ceiling of the shed suddenly burst into flames. The flying debris and violent explosion destroyed and blew up all the computers and teacups in the office area. In just a few seconds, a good investment company was reduced to a mess.
"ah--!"
Despite Gu Ji's numerous warnings, there was still one person who had no time to dodge and was stabbed in the abdomen by the fragments of the explosion. He lay on the ground screaming.
[Current number of casualties: 11/15]
"Call an ambulance immediately and evacuate the scene as soon as possible. Who knows what kind of car Lauder drives!"
"Black BMW X5."
The blonde secretary smoothed her messy hair.
Gu Ji had no time to pay attention to the situation at the scene. As long as the main bomb was not there, the secondary bomb was not enough to blow up the building.
After asking for the information he wanted, he jumped to the landing on the 22nd floor in a blink of an eye.
Because after an explosion, according to the special equipment safety mechanism, all elevators will instantly trigger safety locks and stop in place to ensure the safety of passengers in the elevators, so he immediately shouted "fire elevator" instead of the elevator.
With the bonus of blue speed mark.
Gu Ji's feet were in the wind, and his steps were simple but surprisingly fast. He crossed his arms and crossed his legs, and he jumped up to one level. He was comparable to Jackie Chan or a parkour player.
And just when he reached the 17th floor of the building.
Suddenly the phone vibrated in my pocket.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from Gillian, and the live broadcast room had been running in the background.
[Anchor, say something! 】
[Who knows where I can see the live broadcast! 】
【Fuck! It exploded again. Is the anchor okay? 】
[Now the anchor can finally cooperate with the police. Don’t run away from the terrorists. Surrender immediately and at least one dog’s life will be spared! 】
[20 kilograms of explosives, are they going to blow up the office building into the sky? 】
[There is a reason why there are so few foreigners. It is also too dangerous. Terrorist attacks can easily occur in a world-class financial metropolis. It is better to stay at home! 】
…
As public opinion about the terrorist attack fermented, nearly 100,000 people were watching the live broadcast online. Gu Ji turned off the live broadcast software and answered the phone.
"I'm Jillian, why did Building 24 explode in Zhongcheng District?"
"The suspect I killed caused my accomplices to change their plans. Just now they hijacked Rauld Mittal, the trading manager of Fuen Capital Company, and detonated the auxiliary bomb in advance. The suspect temporarily revealed two people, wearing blue Wearing work clothes and carrying assault rifles, they forced their way through the underground parking lot to alert airborne reconnaissance units to cargo vehicles or black BMW X5 cars!"
After giving the detailed information in one breath, Gu Ji hung up the phone and continued to speed up.
Two minutes later, he finally ran out of the office building.
Many onlookers gathered around the road, and everyone looked up to the upper floors of Building 24. The outer glass curtain wall of the 23rd floor that was hit by the explosion was all shattered, and thick blue-gray smoke continued to pour out.
Gu Ji squeezed through the crowd and glanced at the position of the police helicopter in the sky.
West direction.
So he took a big step, and the quadriceps, hip flexors, gastrocnemius, and calf muscles of both legs twisted and contracted at the same time. In conjunction with the bones, they worked like a hydraulic rod as fast as lightning, rushing toward the goal.
The streets of Manhattan are crowded.
At this time, driving is not as fast as running.
At this moment, the bloody countdown in the upper right corner has less than three hours left, and there are only four casualties left.
It can be said that this is the closest Gu Ji has come to failing a level.
A strong sense of crisis forced him to try his best. Finally, there was a violent crash at the intersection ahead, as if a traffic accident had occurred.
Gu Ji immediately noticed a black BMW X5 running through a red light, its engine roaring, and it was charging forward.
That direction is...
time Square!
Times Square is the most prosperous neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, USA. It is known as the "Crossroads of the World". Due to its high popularity, there are nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters nearby, and many news media around the world, including the ABC. Both have studios and press centers in Times Square.
This is not the first time that Times Square and terrorist attacks have been “connected”.
5.1 attempted car bomb attack;
5.8 shooting incident;
4·100,000 people fled.
There is no doubt that any terrorist attack in Times Square will cause a sensation throughout the United States!
