C377 Life-threatening
The few of them nodded their heads and started to move out separately.
There weren't many cars in the underground parking lot. Seven or eight cars were parked there. Lu Lee said, "Victoria, check the car. Pay more attention to the area under the car. Also, you keep an eye on the roofs, especially where explosives are likely to be stowed. You guys be careful, if you encounter any suspicious people, you can fire first. "
With that, the two separated.
Lu Lee walked to the staircase himself. He had looked at the apartment's structure, there was an underground passage at the top of the stairs, it was similar to a storage room or something. Lu Lee took out his flashlight, held the gun and slowly walked down.
The basement was dark. Lu Lee went down the stairs and looked around with his flashlight. The basement wasn't big, only about 20-30 square meters. Aside from some goods piled up in the corner, he didn't find anything else. Lu Lee slowly moved towards the corner. Suddenly, the cargo moved and two figures appeared. Then, he heard the sound of a submachine gun, "Ta ta!" Lu Lee rolled away and raised his hands to shoot twice. The submachine gun was still firing. Lu Lee extinguished the flashlight and rolled a few times before hiding in the dark.
Lu Lee was a little worried. He was afraid that Victoria or Xu Juan would come down at this time, so he did not want them to get hurt. Lu Lee knew he had to get rid of the two of them as soon as possible. However, he could do nothing about the fact that the other party was hiding behind their bunker, and he suspected that the other party was wearing night vision goggles because in the dark, most of their bullets were aimed at him.
After seven or eight minutes, Lu Lee was still in a passive state of being beaten up. Lu Lee was dodging left and right, feeling bitter inside. It seems he underestimated his opponent. If this continues, it will be hard to escape death even if we run out of time. Lu Lee steeled his heart and gave it his all! At that moment, he heard a familiar voice, "Lie down!" It was Victoria. Lu Lee's reaction was fast. He rolled to the corner of the wall and lied down next to it.
Then he heard a boom, and the load was blown away, and the submachine gun went mute. Lu Lee jumped out and shot a few more times at the two corpses: "F * ck, wasting my time." Lu Lee was so angry that he nearly fainted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cursed out loud. He turned on the flashlight and saw Victoria holding a rocket launcher.
Victoria said complacently, "I heard the sound of gunfire from the basement. I saw that you were not able to come out after two minutes. I think you must have been pestered. So, I went back to the room to get that guy. It seems like Director Hasen has good foresight."
Lu Lee smiled lightly: "Don't get carried away anymore. Hurry up, we don't have much time left." After about ten minutes, the time left for the explosion was getting shorter.
Coming up from the basement, Lu Lee asked, "Have you checked the parking lot?" Victoria said, "Yes, there were no abnormalities." But I wonder, why were those two hiding in the basement? " Lu Lee said, "What's there not to understand? They are trying to remove the artificial obstruction created by the bomb. Their goal is to delay our time and prevent us from finding the bomb within the predetermined explosion time."
Victoria said, "Lu, do you mean that there are many obstacles?" Lu Lee said, "Even if it's not too much, there will definitely be more." Lu Lee suddenly stopped talking. Victoria asked, "Lu, what's wrong?" Lu Lee said, "Xu Juan, I'm worried that Xu Juan is in danger and our opponent might be among the tenants. If the tenants have their own people, then it's not a good idea for Xu Juan to evacuate them. "
Lu Lee said, "Victoria, quickly inform Xu Juan to stop the evacuation." Victoria asked, "What about the residents?" Lu Lee said, "Go and get Xu Juan. I'll think of a way." Victoria said, "Alright, I'll go now." After Victoria left, Lu Lee called Eve and the others, telling them to be careful and to ensure their safety first.
Lu Lee quickly checked the underground parking lot before starting to search upstairs. Victoria had saved his life due to the urgency of the situation, so he was worried that she might not investigate the matter carefully in the underground parking lot.
Lu Lee had already found the fourth floor, while Victoria hadn't found Xu Juan yet. On the other hand, Eve and Yagyu Sizuka's side were the fastest as they went from the top floor to the 18th floor. Fourteen floors. Lu Lee started to worry about Xu Juan. There were less than 40 minutes left. Lu Lee had to put Xu Juan's case aside for now before continuing the search.
"Lu, it's not very useful for us to only search the public area. I'm worried that they might pretend to be tenants and bring the bomb into the room. But we don't have time to search one room at a time. " Lu Lee was discouraged as well. He said, "Okay, give up the search now and focus on finding Xu Juan. After you find her, quickly leave the building. If you don't find her by then, you must also leave."
Lu Lee was confused. He started to regret trying to be brave. Finding the bomb in a twenty-story building within an hour was a fantasy. He should listen to Hasen and leave first. He suddenly felt that he had been too emotional for a long time. If anything happened to Xu Juan this time, he really wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Lu Lee walked to the elevator, lit up a cigarette, and pointed the cigarette butt at the smoke detector on the roof. Not long later, the alarm sounded. In the blink of an eye, the interior of the building was thrown into chaos. The residents quickly went out to find out what had happened. Hearing that it was a fire alarm, everyone rushed to the fire escape and ran down.
Lu Lee continued to ascend. He had to find Xu Juan, he had to find her. Xu Jing had already left him, and her little sister could no longer have any more troubles. He bit his lips and searched floor by floor. Soon, an hour had passed and Lu Lee still didn't want to give up. Victoria, Eve, and Yagyu Sizukapang, who had already reunited with him, pulled him out of the building.
Lu Lee was dragged to the car by them. The car started and stopped one kilometer away from the building. Victoria looked at her watch. "Did we get cheated? Maybe we didn't get any bombs." Eve shook her head and said, "Impossible. If you didn't have the bomb, why would you have been attacked in the basement?" Victoria said, "But other than the basement, we didn't encounter any more attacks from them. How do we explain that?" Eve couldn't tell.
Lu Lee lightly said with sadness, "Maybe it's because they caught Xu Juan." Victoria no longer spoke. Lu Lee was right, if they caught Xu Juan, they really didn't need to disturb Lu Lee and the others, because once Xu Juan was in trouble, Lu Lee's heart would be in disarray and he would no longer be a threat to them.
"Boom!" The loud sound made Lu Lee's heart feel as if it was being torn apart. His tightly clenched fist also looked pale. Yagyu Sizuka held Lu Lee's hand gently. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. Victoria's phone rang. She picked it up to listen, then handed it to Lu Lee: "Lu, it's for you."
Lu Lee took the phone. A man's voice came over the phone. That voice had turned into ashes. "Brother Lu Lee, long time no see. How are you?" Lu Lee said lightly, "Sheyeo, I will kill you!" Sheyeo laughed. "Young man, don't be so angry. It's not good for your health." Lu Lee didn't say anything and was about to hang up the phone. Sheyeo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said, "If you want to know where Miss Xu is, you'd better be patient with me."
A glimmer of hope rose in Lu Lee's heart. He thought that Xu Juan had left him forever with that explosive sound. Now that he heard Sheyeo say this, he asked nervously, "What did you do to Xu Juan?" Sheyeo said, "She looks like her sister. "Lu Lee, your luck with women is quite good." "Where's Xu Juan?" Lu Lee asked. Sheyeo smiled. "Don't worry, she's fine. But if you really want her to be okay, you better listen to my words and cooperate with me. Otherwise, you will regret it."
Lu Lee calmed down: "Tell me your condition!"
Sheyeo said, "My conditions are very simple. I assume you know that I'm in Vietnam? You should know what I want to do. What you need to do is to restrain those idiots from China's security forces. Don't let them ruin my plans. As long as my nuclear bomb can be successfully launched, not only will I return Miss Xu to you unharmed, I will also give you the most generous of rewards. As long as you can think of anything you want, I can give it to you. "
Lu Lee did not say anything. Sheyeo said: "How about it, Lu Lee, it is not difficult for you. You are an abandoned son of China anyway, your grandfather does not care, your grandmother does not love them, there is no need to work so hard for them. I will give you three days' time. "
Lu Lee suddenly said, "Wait, what right do you have to make me believe that Xu Juan is fine?" Sheyeo said, "I already knew you would say that. My people will call you and ask you to talk to her personally. Alright, I'm hanging up. You should think about it and don't be in a hurry to answer." Sheyeo hung up the phone without waiting for Lu Lee to say anything. Sure enough, an unfamiliar number called two minutes later, Lu Lee heard Xu Juan's voice.
Lu Lee heard Xu Juan's voice. "Lu Lee, don't be threatened by them. Don't worry about me …!" Before she could finish her words, she heard a loud cry as if someone had ruthlessly hit her. Lu Lee's eyes looked like they were about to bleed. The call ended. Sheyeo's men hung up without saying a word to Lu Lee. Their goal was to confirm that Xu Juan was still alive.
Victoria asked, "Lu, Xu Juan is still alive?" Lu Lee nodded his head, "Yes, in Sheyeo's hands, he gave me three days to consider and promised to hold down China's security and let him successfully launch the nuclear bomb. He said that's the only way to guarantee Xu Juan's safety."
Upon hearing this, Eve nervously asked, "Lu, you won't agree to his conditions, will you?" Yagyu Sizuka was also a little worried. Lu Lee could disregard her safety, but towards his close friends, his life was more important than anything else. Especially the relationship between Xu Juan and Xu Jing, she was really afraid that Lu Lee would agree to Sheyeo.2
