The sudden ringing of the alarm not only opened the prelude to the battle, but it also broke the silence on the twelfth floor.
Most of the residents on this floor had already fallen asleep, but they were woken up from their dreams. After realizing that there was a fire, many people hurriedly ran out of their rooms without even putting on their clothes. As a result, the scene in the corridor made them completely dumbfounded. They saw two groups of people coming out of nowhere, pulling out their guns and shooting at each other.
Bullets flew and spun in the corridor, accompanied by billowing smoke. For a moment, people did not know whether they should continue to run out or retreat to their rooms.
The two members of the special operations team were obviously prepared. Long before 0 and the others arrived, they had already pushed the table, refrigerator, and other things to the door to use as cover. Other than the initial exposure, they retracted their bodies, especially some key parts such as the control center, which were hidden behind the cover.
Although the emergency response team had the advantage in marksmanship and firepower, they could not take down the other party in a short time.
Even so, 0 still believed that it was only a matter of time before they won this battle. He was not worried about the two opponents in front of him. On the contrary, he was more concerned about Zhang Heng, who had not shown up until now, and the last member of the special operations team.
If he was not mistaken, the goods should be with him. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why his two teammates were in a difficult battle and why he did not show up. However, 0 did not believe that the other party could remain so calm all the time.
Because the fire at this time had become bigger and bigger, many people began to choke and cough.
Although there was still a hail of bullets in the corridor, some people had already tried to escape through the safety door a little further away. Unfortunately, a few stronger male residents could not open the safety door even after pushing it for a long time. Since pushing the door required a lot of strength, it increased the consumption of oxygen, causing many people to inhale thick smoke.
Seeing them grabbing their throats and falling to the ground in pain, the remaining people became more and more terrified. Finally, someone could no longer stand the heat and began to rush to the other safety door.
It was a woman about forty years old. She was one of the few people who was still awake at this late hour. Dressed in work clothes and high heels, she looked quite capable. She should be a senior executive of a company, and she came to the second level on a business trip. When the incident happened, she was still rushing to report. She did not expect to encounter such an unlucky incident.
As she ran forward, she raised her hands, imagining that the people on both sides would cease fire after seeing the civilians and let her leave first. However, reality was cruel. Neither the two members of the special operations team nor the four members of the emergency response team were good people.
From beginning to end, the six of them did not even look at her.
The order No.5, No.2, and No.7 received was to kill everyone on this floor. On the other hand, the two members of the special operations team only had eyes for the task of bringing the memory encoder back to the first floor, so in the end, no one stopped.
The poor woman was hit in the thigh by a stray bullet. After that, she staggered a few steps, still trying to stand up. However, the next moment, more bullets hit her chest. Eventually, she fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.
This scene also poured a bucket of cold water on those who had the same fantasies as her. But soon, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, making the people trapped on this floor anxious and frightened. On the other side, the situation of the two special operations team members was also getting worse. They were also in the center of the fire. The equipment they were wearing could defend against bullets, but it could not defend against the heat wave. No, it should be said that because it was made of alloy, the heat conduction effect was excellent.
In the end, their body temperature was higher than the corridor outside. Both of them were now sweating profusely, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
However, compared to the heat wave, the thick smoke produced by the burning was more deadly. The exoskeleton equipment did not come with an air filtration system, so the two could only breathe in the poisonous gas in the air like the guests in the corridor.
Thanks to the excellent fire protection system in the city, and to save costs, most hotels on the second floor did not equip each room with a separate gas mask.
On the other hand, everyone in the emergency response team had already put on gas masks that they had prepared beforehand.
Just when the battle was getting more and more unfavorable to the two special operations team members, 0 received a call from a sheriff, saying that he had found the whereabouts of the last member of the special operations team.
Because the latter could not stand the rising temperature, he finally had no choice but to show himself. He climbed out of the window of the room he was in and was climbing downstairs. However, as soon as he opened the window, he was discovered by the federal police who were monitoring below.
This was undoubtedly good news for 0. If he was right, the goods should be with the guy outside the window. However, what made 0 a little uneasy was that he still hadn't found Zhang Heng's whereabouts.
Compared to how active he was before, Zhang Heng seemed a little too quiet now, and 0 couldn't figure out what was on his mind.
In fact, when 0 went up to the twelfth floor, he had already prepared for Zhang Heng and the three special operations team members to join forces. No matter what kind of love and hatred there was between Zhang Heng and Mr. G, Zhang Heng was once one of the couriers for this transaction. It was not unacceptable for the two parties to join forces again.
However, Zhang Heng didn't seem to have such a plan. Seeing that the special operations team was about to collapse, he still didn't know where the cat was.
This time, 0 had learned his lesson. He no longer thought about what Zhang Heng wanted to do. Instead, he took all kinds of situations into consideration and found the best strategy.
The fire in the corridor was getting fiercer and fiercer. At the same time, the two special operations team members on the other side were about to collapse. 0 estimated that he would be able to take down the other side in five minutes at most. However, the guy hanging outside the window was the most important part of this operation. If Zhang Heng killed him first and robbed him of his goods, it would be meaningless for him to kill the two special operations team members in front of him.
In the end, 0 made a decision and said to the three people around him, "You guys stay here. If that guy appears, don't think about how to kill him. Just make sure he doesn't cross this door. Can you do that?"
"Of course. We have been wanting to meet that guy for a long time. We want to see if he has three heads and six arms," said No.7.
"Don't be impulsive. After I leave, switch to a defensive formation. Stall for time, and we will win." 0 paused here. "This fire will solve all our problems for us."
