Chapter 26 The Most Thrilling Cooperation

"go there!"

"Squat down! All squat down! Hold your head in your hands and look at the ground!!"

"Bow your head!! Don't raise your head!!"

The gangsters called them fiercely.

Li Yiqi and Guo Liu were driven like sheep by them, so they could only crouch down in a corner, hug their heads, and look down at the ground.

The dome on the first floor of the Nongzhi Building is very high, and there are floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. The sunlight pours in, the interior space is bright, and the clean white marble floor is reflected brightly.

The environment here is elegant, the reception and exhibition areas are decorated with rare green plants and flowers, there are fountains and pools indoors, and the air is fresh and humid.

But at this time, such a simple and elegant place has become a place where nightmares happen.

Twenty or so gangsters sealed the gate and patrolled the surrounding areas. Many staff members of the Nongzhi Building squatted on the ground and hugged their heads, their faces full of fear.

Li Yiqi's heart was pounding.

According to Bai Gui, only one geek came to support him.

Even if you know what the gangsters have secretly arranged and where they are ambushing, can one person deal with twenty or so thugs?

The two squatted in the corner with their heads in their hands. After squatting down, Guo Liu found that the person next to them was actually their guide, Lao Deng.

"Hey, why didn't you go to the light rail with everyone?" Guo Liu asked him in a low voice.

"My daughter works on the third floor. I came to look for her, but I was arrested." Lao Deng said with a wry smile, his face turning miserable.

"...What about your daughter?"

"There were too many people and it was too messy, so I couldn't find it."

The commentator Lao Deng's face was pale and full of despair, his lips squirmed, and he said to the two of them in an extremely thin voice: "We are doomed this time, they planted a bomb..."

"what?!"

Li Yiqi and Guo Liu were taken aback in horror, as if someone had poured cold water on their heads, their whole bodies were completely chilled.

Bai Gui didn't hear Lao Deng's words, his weak voice came from his schoolbag: "Tell me about the situation on the first floor."

Li Yiqi regained her senses.

He's not wearing that pair of smart glasses now, and he's not wearing a headset.

Those members of the Prosperity Club could recognize the glasses for geeks at a glance, so he put the smart glasses in his schoolbag, and then carried the schoolbag on his back, without intending to take it out again.

The sound from the headset is already soft, but it becomes even lighter with a layer of schoolbags. Others can't hear the white ghost's voice, even the guides Lao Deng and Guo Liu next to him can't hear it. Li Yiqi, who has a level of hearing, can hear clearly.

Li Yiqi lowered her head, her lips pressed against her schoolbag, and said, "The people from the Prosperity Society locked the gate, and the staff here said...they planted a bomb."

The last sentence was a bit difficult to say.

For young people like Li Yiqi who have been living in a peaceful society, guns and bullets are already extremely scary things, bombs?That never even occurred to me.

Explosions of electric vehicles, pressure cookers, and gas tanks are scary enough, but what about the explosion of bombs used as weapons?
"Where is the bomb installed?"

The white ghost didn't panic, his voice was calm, which gave Li Yiqi some confidence.

Li Yiqi turned her head and asked Lao Deng this question.

Old Deng didn't dare to raise his head. He squatted on the ground and hugged his head, and said to him in a voice as soft as a mosquito's gnat: "They installed bombs in several places, and I didn't dare to raise my head to look more, so I just took a look."

Li Yiqi didn't dare to raise her head either.

The gangsters from the Prosperity Society were watching them all the time, and when they found anyone who dared to look up, they pointed their guns at them and yelled fiercely, or shot them directly, and everyone fell silent.

In desperation, he could only listen with his ears.

Fortunately, he did hear something, and he noticed a very faint electronic sound under the reception desk.

He glanced up quickly. From this position, he could just see the bomb stuck under the desk at the front desk. He quickly lowered his head before the gangster attacked.

Li Yiqi put her schoolbag on her and whispered quickly: "I found it! There is a bomb under the desk at the front desk. I have to listen to the bombs in other places to find out where they are. They seem to have placed many such bombs. What should I do?"

"You say it has a sound? Can you describe what this bomb looks like?"

"Green light is flashing, it's about the size of two palms, it's stuck upside down under the table, it's a bit flat."

"Probably Suckerfish MD93 bomb, a small one is equivalent to ten kilograms of TNT explosives. If several bombs explode together, the first and second floors will be completely blown up, and the entire building will collapse. No one will survive. I am not scaremongering. "

"How dare they?"

Li Yiqi broke out in a cold sweat.

I am afraid that he will earn or spend these three coins.

He underestimated the madness of the Prosperity gangsters.

The white ghost snorted coldly: "Why don't you dare? Be sober, it's not a relatively peaceful old century anymore, there shouldn't be too many villains like this who disregard human life, that's why our Geek Association came into being. To stop violence, to balance those forces that are out of control."

Outside the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, towering agricultural and plant buildings are reflected by the sun, which symbolizes a more civilized new century.The sunlight shone on the glass of the building, and reflected on Li Yiqi's body.

Li Yiqi didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth. At this moment, he felt that he was not in a civilized society, but a dangerous primitive jungle.

"This kind of bomb can be detonated with a switch, look for it, is there anyone holding the button?"

There are buttons!
Li Yiqi cheered up a little when she heard the news.

You can stop the explosion if you get the button, but you can't use the auditory cheat to find the button.

Li Yiqi gritted her teeth, knowing that if she couldn't find it now, she would be in a very dangerous situation, so she raised her head and scanned around at the risk of being shot by the gangsters.

"I don't know if there are gangsters hiding elsewhere, but the gangsters here don't have buttons in their hands!"

"The person holding the button may be mixed in the crowd, look for it again."

How to find it?
Li Yiqi's scalp was going numb.

... When he raised his head just now, he was noticed by a bald gangster, and now that person is still staring at him, looking like he will shoot him at any time, so just look up and wait for his head to explode immediately.

Besides, there are so many people here and they are scattered, you can't find them for a while, and you can't tell who took the button by the sound... What should I do?
Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Yiqi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way. He lowered his voice and asked Lao Deng to send a message to the staff next to him, looking for the stranger in the crowd who might be holding the detonation button.

The staff of Nongzhi Building controlled by gangsters were gathered together like a flock of sheep.

The gangster was probably in the crowd.

The employees of Nongzhi Building were not stupid either. They knew they would die if they were found out, but they would be doomed if they just waited. So one after another, the people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands moved their lips slightly and sent messages to the people next to them with their voices.

"Anyone with a button in their hand?"

"I do not see it……"

"Are there any strangers near you?"

"I don't have any here, they are all colleagues from our finance department."

"There are gangsters among us..."

At this moment, no matter men, women, young or old, they all used the skills of whispering in their school days, suppressed their voices and communicated with the people around them in the smallest voice.

Under the eyes of the gangsters, these colleagues launched the most thrilling cooperation in their lives.

Li Yiqi listened to their voices, and broke into a cold sweat for everyone. Some people have really loud voices. Fortunately, the nearby indoor fountain greatly covered up the sound.

Finally, he heard the key message.

A woman said intermittently in a terrified voice: "The man in the gray suit on the farthest side of my row has a problem... I saw him squatting with us with his coat off, and he was holding a fist in his hand." Something like a button..."

found it!
Li Yiqi was ecstatic, she didn't have to wait for others to pass the words back one by one, he immediately described it to the white ghost.

"Found it! That person was wearing a gray shirt, squatting roughly in the southeast, next to the big stone statue in the shape of rice in the fountain."

Li Yiqi didn't need to look up anymore, he had already scanned the situation here roughly when he got out of the elevator, memorized the surrounding layout in his heart, combined with the direction of the girl's voice, he knew roughly where the gangster was squatting.

"The button should be in the palm of his hand!"

"Okay, are you sure it's him? Besides the gray clothes, are there any other features?" The white ghost's voice also sounded very excited.

Li Yiqi could only take a risk and look up there.

And this one glance caused catastrophe.

The bald killer who had been staring at him immediately wanted to kill him, and raised his pistol without hesitation.

At the critical moment, Li Yiqi raised her hands and shouted out the lines she had prepared long ago: "——Don't kill me, I know the clues of the geek you are looking for!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the gangsters on the first floor immediately focused on him, and the air seemed to freeze.

"You! Come out!"

The gangster pointed a gun at him and ordered him to come out.

Li Yiqi quickly whispered to her schoolbag: "That man is still wearing a brown peaked cap." Then she raised her hands and slowly walked out of the crowd step by step.

"Who are you? What do you know?!" Several gangsters surrounded him, all pointing guns at him viciously.

Being pointed at by multiple pistols at the same time must be a life experience that most people cannot experience.

Li Yiqi thought happily in bitterness.

He tried his best to maintain his composure, and frantically thought about what to say to delay the time, but he didn't expect that a gangster directly grabbed his schoolbag violently.

"Search him first! See if there are any dangerous items!"

The gangster unzipped the zipper, found nothing like a grenade in it, then turned the bag mouth down, and dumped the contents on the ground.

Mobile phones, mineral water, red cloth bags containing golden beans, chewing gum and other things were thrown all over the floor.

The gangsters immediately noticed the smart glasses in the pile.

"It's the glasses that geeks wear!"

"Is it the target person?"

"Whether you kill him first or not!"

"No, don't rush to kill him and ask first!"

These twenty or so gangsters are not the top figures in the Prosperity Association like Damien Vale. They are all pawns who have not joined the association for many years, and they were sent here as cannon fodder for one-time use of dead soldiers.

Because these people knew that they were going to die in the explosion today, their nerves were even more tense than the controlled staff, so they were very fierce, like a little bit of gunpowder that ignited.

One of the most irritable gangsters pressed the muzzle of a gun to Li Yiqi's temple, with bulging veins on his forehead, and shouted violently: "Whether it is or not! Kill it!"

After finishing speaking, he thumbed open the side insurance.

Li Yiqi's heart skipped a beat, just when the other party's index finger was about to pull the trigger, when he thought he was going to die.

"Beep-!"

Suddenly a harsh whistle sounded in the hall.

I saw a little monkey appearing in the lobby at some point, with its tail curled upside down and hanging from the crystal chandelier on the dome, with a whistle hanging around its neck, holding the whistle with its two thin arms and beeping, its cheeks muster.
