Chapter 84 Chaos scene

Tao Xi was obviously taken aback when he heard the gunshot above his head.

The old man hiding in the dark just smiled and pointed to the top of his head and said, "The recent gangsters are so stupid. They dared to use fully automatic weapons to rob the bank. They must all die!"

Standing up, Tao Xi held the camera in his hand and asked excitedly, "Is the bank above your head?"

"Oh! If I remember correctly, there must be a bank on top of my head. The owner of that bank is not a good person. I was rummaging through the trash can at the door to find something to eat, but he pointed at my stomach. kick."

"Hahaha! I'm going to help you avenge!"

Just as Tao Xi was about to turn around and leave, the old man grabbed Tao Xi's clothes and pointed to the top of his head.

Looking up at the top, Tao Xi actually saw a trace of light, Tao Xi turned his head and looked suspiciously, the old man bared his big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "It's safe here!"

Tao Xi walked directly under the glimmer of light and suddenly found that the wall had been dug into deep pits one after another at some point.

Tao Xi carried the camera and tried to put his feet deep into a deep pit first. Tao Xi's complexion was overjoyed. There are rules.

Just like the climbing ladder under each manhole cover, a person can climb along these potholes to the place of light.

Tao Xi stepped on the potholes on the wall and quickly climbed up. When Tao Xi got closer to the top, the place where the light was shining made Tao Xi more curious.

Because not only did he find a hole at the top of the sewer, but the hole was also surrounded by darkness. Tao Xi, who was extremely curious, drilled into this space that was obviously above the ground, and Tao Xi gently touched it. A look can only make him curl up around the space.

"garbage can?"

"I said why is it so smelly!"

Thinking of what the little old man said to Tao Xi just now, Tao Xi just shook his head and prepared to see what happened at the door of the bank.

Living in the sewer, it is difficult for a healthy person to live beyond the age of 60.

On the one hand, it is because of the pollution caused by the dense drainage pipes around the sewer; on the other hand, it is because your survival mode in the sewer is more like a primitive society. If you have force, you are entitled to let others serve you, for example: Leo.

He relied on his body to forcibly control many subordinates in the sewer, but the subordinates subdued by force are most likely to rebel. If you show your weakness to others, it is very likely that you will die in your sleep.

The other is the little old man who Tao Xi doesn't know the name but is familiar with. He is very old. Tao Xi doesn't know how old he is, but he has basically lost the ability to do odd jobs on the ground. There are living allowances, but most of them will be taken away by others.

The only thing that can make him live is picking up rubbish in the trash can.

The income of people engaged in the financial industry is very high in the United States. If you can go to the trash can to pick up trash at the gate of the bank with the permission of the security guard, you can definitely eat and drink enough every day.

But the little old man said that the leader of the bank above him didn't like him, and it was hard for him to think of this way to live.

Tao Xi, who put his head under the hole, yelled in a low voice in the direction of the little old man: "Hey! You can find a place to hide, just this gunshot, your place will be discovered sooner or later, when I make money , send you to a nursing home in Los Angeles County for the elderly!"

The little old man raised his head and gave Tao Xi another "hehe" smile showing his big yellow teeth.

Because of the garbage can, the surrounding sight is not very good, and listening to the movement on the ground, the automatic rifle may sweep into the garbage can at any time.

For his own safety, Tao Xi took off the lid of the trash can and put it on his chest.

In order to reduce the risk of people around him discovering him, Tao Xi just poked his head outside and found that the location of the trash can was just under a window on the side of the Bank of America, Tao Xi secretly said: "Tsk! This location is not bad!"

From the position of the trash can, not only can you see what happened in the bank, but you can even see the two police cars parked not far away, Tao Xi clearly.

The camera that was turned on took pictures of the people lying on their stomachs in the bank. A bloated man rolled up a female bank clerk's short skirt to her waist in a nasty way. A black panty was recorded by Tao Xi. down.

Maeve kicked Deke's brother on the back with a look of disdain and said, "Watch out for the police outside, don't let them rush in, you won't find any woman if you have money."

Deke's younger brother grunted dissatisfiedly and walked outside carrying the modified AK47 in his hand.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Kuros, who heard a roar at the door of the bank, was about to look up, when the sound of bullets flying in mid-air brought out sonic booms one after another near him.

His female partner, Yulia, got out of the police car very neatly and used the car door to block half of her body and shoot at the bank door. At this time, 11 police cars were parked near the bank, and there were one or two police cars near each police car. Shoot towards the bank door.

Batllo sat in the back seat of the police car and saw this battle. Although he was also a person who had experienced big battles, how could stray bullets flying around be so exciting!

"Bartello! Remember, I know your mother, you'd better be nice to your mother!" After saying this, Kuros first undid Bartello's handcuffs and took them out of his arms. A Bible was handed over: "It's okay, read the Bible, he will bless you, I don't want to see your dead body on the street, get out!"

Bartello asked in a strange way: "What about you?"

Kulos waved to Bartello impatiently and walked towards his female partner. Bartello heard the constant calls for help from the main station in the police car and just wanted to follow, but a bullet exploded near him. Open, a policeman who was raising his gun to fight back was shot directly in the leg.

"Hurry up! Do you want to die here?" Yulia dragged the injured colleague just behind a police car and yelled at Bartello.

Bartello shrank his neck and turned to leave.

"You just let him go like that?" Yulia joked while watching her partner shoot, but Kulos turned to look at the colleague who had just been injured and said, "Automatic fire, we have no way to fight back!"

When Kuros saw a bullet hitting the strong man standing at the door and shooting wildly, he just tilted his body and did not fall to the ground, Kuros directly cursed: "Bullet armor! Damn it."

"Full-automatic weapons? It's fine if the opponent doesn't come with rockets. As long as he doesn't break the law within half a month, an ID CARD will allow him to buy a fully automatic weapon at the gun shop."

Maeve, who was standing at the door of the bank, couldn't help making a joke when he saw the sparse gunfire from the police across the way: "Oh! Pistols and AKs! You all just go home and eat milk!"

When Deco came out of the safe room with four backpacks, Deco shot at the ceiling with the AK in his hand.

"All of you get out of the insurance room, remember! Don't look up, if I find any of you looking up, I will send him away!" Deco glared at the bank staff and depositors all walked into the insurance The room nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay! We can retreat!" Maeve took the lead and walked out of the bank with his backpack.

But two helicopters hanging above their heads appeared, one was a police helicopter, and the other was a Fox News helicopter. In the United States, Fox News was the only one that could use a helicopter to report news.

"Hahahaha! Brother, we are famous!"

Deco's younger brother raised his hand and shot at the police helicopter that was very close to them. Seeing this, Deco threw the dollar bills in his hand at his feet and faced more and more policemen on the opposite side of the small square. Shot over.

Seeing that the Los Angeles Police Department showed no threat to them, Maeve raised his middle finger with one hand and shot at the police.

Tao Xi, who was only a few meters away from the three people standing at the door, couldn't help shrinking his neck when he saw the movement, but the camera in his hand was still working.

"This group of people must be dead!"

"The last time I filmed a pawn shop robbery, I remember that group of people were all dead."

Tao Xi muttered to himself, and the movement of his hands did not stop. He moved the lid of the trash can to his chest while holding the camera in his hand.

Kuros saw the bullets pouring towards them as if they didn't want money, and he didn't care about fighting back. Instead, he curled up on the back of the police car to protect himself as much as possible.

The group of policemen surrounded by the Bank of America in North Hollywood didn’t feel well, because they were modified AK47s, and their bullets seemed to be armor-piercing bullets, which not only could pass through the police cars, but even a landline telephone booth not far away was smashed. .

In another landline booth, there was an old man talking on the phone non-stop. It seemed that the old man was also Tao Xi's colleague.

All the intersections around the Bank of America are guarded by young policemen one after another, and at least three policemen are responsible for maintaining order at each intersection.

The Fox News van that arrived first had already started reporting at the outermost perimeter. A beautiful hostess hastily straightened her skirt and stood behind the news van to start reporting.

"Hello, audience friends in front of the TV, we are now at the entrance of the Bank of America in North Hollywood."

"It seems that three robbers at the gate of the bank are shooting at us with heavy firepower. What we can see is that the police are being suppressed because of insufficient firepower."

"The robbers seem to have hostages in their hands. The Bank of America headquarters is calling the branch's surveillance to try to let us know more information!"

The hostess didn't finish her sentence, and a stray bullet flew past the upper part of the news car with a "swish".

The rookie police squeezed into the camera with a nervous expression and tried to drive them away, but the hostess stroked her hair instead of paying attention to the rookie police and continued to report the live news very professionally.

Because of the large-scale gun battle in the entire city of Burbank, there was a lot of congestion. Emily Dunn was sitting on the ABC news car and urged the driver with a bored face.

Diane Sawyer looked at her younger sister with a look of relief and nodded in satisfaction.

Although this younger sister was the incumbent in the [Long Beach Bombing] incident last time, she still admires Emily Dunn, a student who can continuously create breaking news recently.

As the co-anchor of prime time, Diane Sawyer has not come out for a long time. After all, she is 39 years old and is considered an ace host on ABC.

But recently, her rival Barbara Walters has started to covet her show, and Diane Sawyer has to treat her former students as her sisters!
"Emily, I don't know if your informant can provide us with some interesting material for this news."

When Emily heard her teacher who had an extraordinary influence in the "Watergate Incident" say these words, Emily immediately replied with a smile on her face: "It should be no problem, he usually can always Be the first to be at the most dangerous crime scene in Los Angeles."

"I hope so. Recently, ABC plans to set up a new investigation department. You have to work hard."

"Okay, teacher~"

Diane Sawyer just let out a muffled grunt and began to look towards the congested street. There were already people walking forward with their cameras on their shoulders. Diane Sawyer also turned her head to face the news The intercom in the car asked: "How is the situation at the scene?"

"The secret service team has already set off! It's just that the internal management authority of the Los Angeles Police Department has been messed up recently, and we also encountered some problems when communicating with the other party!"

Diane Sawyer's face tightened when she heard this.

Diane Sawyer, a popular hostess of ABC, quickly made a decision: "Rush! Drive over, leaving two people to get out of the car to deal with the compensation issue! This time it's big news, the people from Fox News have already gone !"

Seeing that her teacher was still acting resolutely, Emily pursed her lips secretly.

Tao Xi, who was still at the scene, heard the roar of a car suddenly appearing behind him.

Tao Xi held his breath for an instant, because the three people standing at the door became a little nervous when they saw another helicopter and more and more policemen in the sky.

Maeve at the door kept yelling at the back of the bank: "We're leaving! We're leaving! Come here!"

As soon as Tao Xi heard it, he knew that they still had someone to meet them, but when Tao Xi heard the sporadic gunshots not far away, Tao Xi couldn't help but have a question in his heart: "Can they run away?"
