The power system was cut off, and the hall was plunged into darkness. The only thing that could be seen was the burning flame on the platform directly above the hall. Burning liquid dripped from the edge of the platform from time to time, and the burning smoke covered the hall like a dark cloud that wouldn't dissipate.
"Cough, cough …" Norman pushed away the stone slab on his chest and struggled to support his body with the rifle.
The polyethylene bulletproof plate on his chest had caved in and cracked, pressing against his sternum. He reached out and pressed on his left arm, brought up the holographic screen, and clicked to remove the front armor. The sound of air being filled was heard, and he forcefully pulled off the bulletproof plate on his chest.
There was dust everywhere.
"Garrett!"
After catching his breath, Norman opened the helmet visor, straightened up, and shouted.
"Damn it! Bill! "
"Cough, I'm not dead yet. I'm here."
The voice came from the communication channel.
Hearing the voice, Norman immediately turned on the tactical flashlight and searched around. Soon, he saw a hand standing in the rubble.
Running forward with the rifle, Norman used his hand to dig away the stone on Bill's body and freed Bill from it. With the kinetic skeleton's driving force, this weight was nothing.
"Sh * t, my leg will be useless if I press it for a while." Sitting on the side, Bill gritted his teeth and removed the deformed armor on his right leg.
During this time, Norman rescued three more comrades, but no matter how he searched, he couldn't find Captain Garrett.
"Garrett! … Damn it, where did he go! "
The life signal detector was on the captain, and it just so happened that the captain was missing. Norman anxiously searched in the captain's previous position, but the shockwave of the explosion had blown Garrett to who knows where. Not to mention his location, he didn't even know if he was dead or alive!
"What about the mission!"
"Bill, take Sean and Freddy to the captain's room. Jim and I will stay here to find the captain!"
"Okay!" Bill nodded and gestured to his comrades.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful," Norman looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Our enemies are not just zombies —"
A few figures suddenly flashed through the door. Norman and Bill immediately raised the rifles in their hands.
The two teams aimed at each other.
The tactical flashlight under the muzzle was so blinding that he narrowed his eyes. He couldn't see who was at the door.
At this moment, a hoarse sound came from the communication channel.
"We're on the same side."
Norman was shocked. He immediately confirmed the green dot on the map and lowered the rifle in his hand.
It seemed that they were unconscious for a period of time after the explosion, and during the time they were unconscious, Celestial Trade reinforcements arrived.
From the digital camouflage kinetic skeleton, the opponent was indeed a Marine Corps, the main combat unit of Celestial Trade. Norman, like Captain Garrett, was transferred from the Marine Corps to the rapid response force, so he was familiar with the force.
But what he didn't expect was to see an unexpected person behind this troop.
Jiang Chen!
The boss of Celestial Trade! Why would he appear here?
The soldiers in the hall were divided into two teams. One team activated the life detection device to join the search and rescue, and the other team stayed by Jiang Chen's side.
Protected by more than a dozen Marines, Jiang Chen walked in front of Norman.
Norman lowered his rifle and saluted at once.
"What happened?" Jiang Chen glanced at the debris on the ground and asked in a deep voice.
"We broke into the hall and cleared the zombies. The captain heard a cry for help and went to take a look, but the bomb was detonated," Norman immediately reported.
Jiang Chen nodded and didn't speak again. Instead, he looked at the platform directly above the hall.
The interior decoration was ignited, and the fire had begun to spread. Even at a distance of tens of meters, he could still clearly feel the rising heat wave.
After a long silence, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said to himself.
"It seems that my methods are still too kind."
"Sir?" Norman asked in confusion.
"Nothing. I just think that some villains should be treated like those zombies. Before they cause more harm, shoot them, regardless of the consequences, and stop their heartbeat. Sergeant Norman, do you agree with me? "
For a long time, Jiang Chen didn't pay too much attention to the Kurofune. Or rather, even if he did, he didn't put too much energy into the investigation.
Takeda Pharmaceutical was a Nippon company and had a high status in Nippon. The risk of military operations in developed countries was high, not to mention that the FBA and CIB were already involved in the investigation. Spanking his son was a father's business, so Jiang Chen didn't bother with this matter. Although he sent out Ghost Agents, he didn't authorize her to carry out illegal espionage activities such as arrest and infiltration. She was simply collecting intelligence …
Originally, he thought that the "Kurofune" would be more restrained under the constraints of the Nippon government, but he was wrong.
Although the Kurofune was attached to Nippon, it obviously didn't completely listen to the orders of the country.
At the end of the day, it was unrealistic to expect a group of terrorists who wanted to destroy all of mankind to listen to the commands of humans and be able to judge the situation and restrain themselves.
Soon, the Marines dragged Garrett out of the ruins.
"Is he still alive?" Jiang Chen asked.
"His life signal is intact, but very weak. He needs to be sent to the hospital urgently," the soldier carrying the stretcher replied.
"Go."
"Yes!"
The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The soldier next to Jiang Chen took two steps forward and whispered to Jiang Chen.
"The fire is out of control. Please retreat, sir."
Jiang Chen nodded, didn't say anything, and left.
Under the escort of a group of soldiers, Jiang Chen returned to the helicopter. Looking at the cruise ship from afar, the fire had spread to the middle of the cruise ship, and the entire cruise ship was like an alcohol lamp floating on the sea.
More than two hundred survivors curled up on the deck of the rescue ship. There was no joy of survival on their faces, only fear.
Three thousand tourists, who originally bought tickets to enjoy the holiday, did not expect to encounter such a hellish horror on this windy and sunny Pacific Ocean.
The child cried on his mother's body, and the man gently patted the woman's back, saying words that couldn't even comfort himself. Medical staff shuttled on the deck, checking the bodies of these people and injecting the anti-T virus vaccine produced by Future Biology …
The evacuation was successful. Some people were injured, but no one was fatally injured.
The most miserable was Sergeant Garrett. His spine was injured by the explosion, and he would probably spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair …
The fire was getting bigger and bigger. If it burned the fuel tank, the cruise ship was likely to explode. In order to avoid being affected, after the evacuation was completed, helicopters and rescue ships immediately evacuated.
Jiang Chen expressionlessly looked at the cruise ship that gradually disappeared. Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Chen picked up the phone and stuck it to his ear.
"Hello."
"There is a man named Zhu Tianyou among the survivors. When we found him, he was tied in a bathtub. When he was rescued, he was already unconscious. Because we suspect that he may be related to this terrorist attack, our medical staff put him under intensive care. "
"You did a good job. Send him to New Moon Island. I will ask him personally."
"Yes!"
After he hung up, Jiang Chen didn't put away his phone but called Ayesha.
"Tell our Ghost Agents in Nippon. Within a week, I hope to see the president of Takeda Pharmaceutical appear in the interrogation room on New Moon Island. "
