338: Chapter 338 Hospital Murder Scheme
The Old Blind Man's electronic voice echoed in the basement.
The internal network of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment.
Chen Mo released his grip.
Fragments of a mobile phone fell onto the concrete floor.
The plastic casing cracked into three pieces.
Chen Mo walked toward the iron table.
He picked up the tactical dagger.
"To the hospital."
He tucked the dagger into the tactical belt at his waist.
Jiang Hong stubbed her cigarette out on the table.
The sparks died out.
She picked up the thor sniper rifle.
"I'll get a car."
She headed for the basement exit.
Chen Mo looked at the map of Jiang City on the wall.
His gaze lingered on the location of the Central Hospital.
He began to calculate the route.
The Municipal Bureau's network had been breached.
Zhao Cheng's superior had high-level authorization.
Su Qingxue was in Bed No. 3 of the Cardiac Surgery Department.
She was an external supporter of the Cold Case Unit.
The mole wanted to cut off all external links to the Cold Case Unit.
Going to the hospital would mean walking into an ambush.
If he didn't go, Su Qingxue's death countdown would begin.
He turned around.
"Fatty. Bring the fish tank. Keep close."
404 picked up the fish tank from the worn-out sofa.
He looped the strap over his shoulder.
"Brother Mo, there are still people from Oracle searching the mountain outside."
404's legs were trembling.
Chen Mo didn't respond.
He walked straight toward the exit.
The silver metal of his left arm glinted coldly under the dim lights.
The neuronal probes at the joints maintained a stable bioelectric cycle.
The three of them stepped out of the air-raid shelter.
The rain grew heavier.
Raindrops hammered against the ground.
Splashing up muddy water.
A black off-road vehicle was parked by the roadside.
Jiang Hong sat in the driver's seat.
She had smashed the driver's side window.
Two wires were hot-wired together.
The engine started.
Chen Mo opened the passenger door and got in.
404 climbed into the back seat, clutching the fish tank.
"Take the Third Ring Elevated Road."
Chen Mo gave the order.
Jiang Hong stepped on the gas.
The off-road vehicle charged into the curtain of rain.
The tires skidded on the water-logged road.
Jiang Hong turned the steering wheel to correct the course.
The wipers swung rapidly.
The water on the windshield was swept away.
Chen Mo closed his eyes.
He activated the Heartbeat Localization on his retina.
The search radius expanded to one kilometer.
Red dots flickered against the black background.
The off-road vehicle drove onto the Third Ring Road.
The streetlights were dim.
Two white box trucks appeared ahead.
They occupied two lanes side by side.
Their speed was maintained at forty.
"They're suppressing the speed."
Jiang Hong stepped on the brakes.
The off-road vehicle slowed down.
Chen Mo opened his eyes.
The retinal radar showed.
There were eight steady heartbeat signals inside the truck's cargo hold.
Frequency: sixty.
Trained combat personnel.
"Ram through."
Chen Mo spoke.
Jiang Hong gripped the steering wheel with both hands.
She downshifted.
She floored the accelerator.
The engine roared.
The off-road vehicle accelerated toward the rear of the truck on the left.
Ten meters away.
Five meters.
The truck's rear doors suddenly swung open to both sides.
Four men in black combat gear held submachine guns.
The muzzles were aimed at the off-road vehicle.
Muzzles spat fire.
Bullets shattered the off-road vehicle's windshield.
Glass shards scattered inside the cabin.
Chen Mo raised his left hand.
His silver mechanical fingers spread open.
A pale blue energy shield deployed in front of him.
Bullets hit the shield.
Losing kinetic energy.
They dropped onto the dashboard.
The off-road vehicle slammed into the rear of the truck.
The sound of metal twisting and deforming rang out.
The truck lost its balance.
It rolled to the right.
It crashed into the other truck beside it.
The two vehicles became entangled and slid toward the roadside guardrail.
The off-road vehicle passed through the gap.
It continued driving forward.
A long dent was scraped along the side of the car.
Jiang Hong kept her foot on the gas.
She looked at Chen Mo beside her.
Chen Mo withdrew his left hand.
The shield vanished.
He looked down and brushed the glass shards off his clothes.
His movements were steady.
Without any unnecessary fluctuation.
Jiang Hong turned her head.
This theorist who had come from the police academy archives.
His combat proficiency crushed that of every professional veteran she had ever seen.
The vehicle drove off the elevated bridge.
Ahead was the inpatient building of Jiang City Central Hospital.
Half of the building's windows were lit.
The other half was in darkness.
The off-road vehicle stopped on a side road two hundred meters away from the building.
Chen Mo pushed the door open and got out.
The rain soaked his black trench coat.
Jiang Hong walked over with the thor sniper rifle on her back.
"The hospital's surveillance system has been cut off."
404 sat in the car, looking at the terminal screen.
"I can't get into their internal network."
Chen Mo looked up at the inpatient building.
The Cardiac Surgery Department was on the twelfth floor.
All the lights on the twelfth floor were out.
"Wait in the car."
Chen Mo ordered 404.
He looked at Jiang Hong.
"Find a sniping position."
Jiang Hong nodded.
She turned and walked toward an unfinished commercial building across the street.
Chen Mo walked toward the main entrance of the inpatient building.
He avoided the lights of the main entrance.
He circled around to the medical waste disposal passage at the back of the building.
A green iron door was locked.
Chen Mo gripped the door handle with his left hand.
The machinery exerted force.
The metal pins inside the lock cylinder snapped.
The iron door was pushed open.
There were no lights in the passage.
Chen Mo walked in.
Beneath his feet were damp tiles.
He headed up the stairs.
His leather boots made no sound as they stepped on the stairs.
The Heartbeat Localization radar scanned continuously.
Second floor. Normal.
Fifth floor. Normal.
Tenth floor. Abnormalities appeared.
The radar showed.
There were six stationary red dots in the twelfth-floor corridor.
Heart rates were steady.
Scattered at the doors of different patient rooms.
At the location of Ward No. 3, two red dots overlapped.
Chen Mo quickened his pace.
He stepped over the last few stairs.
He reached the landing between the eleventh and twelfth floors.
A fire door was ajar.
Chen Mo pressed himself against the wall.
He observed the corridor through the crack in the door.
All the overhead lights in the corridor had been destroyed.
Only the emergency indicators in the corners emitted a green glow.
Two men in white coats stood in front of the nurse station.
They held pistols equipped with silencers.
Chen Mo drew his tactical dagger.
He pushed the fire door open.
The hinges made a slight scraping sound.
The man in the white coat on the left turned his head.
Chen Mo pushed off with his left leg.
His body surged forward.
Closing the ten-meter gap.
The man in the white coat raised his pistol.
Chen Mo's left hand shot out.
The silver mechanical arm grabbed the slide of the pistol.
He pressed down hard.
The barrel pointed toward the floor.
The dagger in his right hand pierced the opponent's throat.
He pulled it out.
Blood splattered onto the green light on the wall.。
The man in the white coat on the right took a step back.
He pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit the metal joint of Chen Mo's left shoulder.
Sparks flew.
Chen Mo didn't pause.
He threw the bloody dagger with his right hand.
The blade pierced the right eye of the man on the right.
Going straight into the brainstem.
The corpse fell to the ground.
The gunshot alerted the four guards at the other end of the corridor.
They abandoned their original positions.
They ran toward the nurse station with their guns raised.
Chen Mo pulled the dagger out of the corpse's eye socket.
He stood up.
Facing the four people running toward him.
He did not activate his energy shield.
The power needed to be saved for more lethal threats.
The first guard rushed into the five-meter range.
The high-frequency vibration module in Chen Mo's left arm activated.
The surface of the metal arm blurred.
He sidestepped to avoid the bullets.
His left fist struck the opponent's sternum.
The sound of bones shattering rang out.
The chest cavity collapsed.
The corpse hit the wall.
The remaining three dispersed their formation.
Chen Mo kicked up a pistol dropped on the ground with his right foot.
He caught it with his left hand.
He pulled the trigger.
There was no aiming process.
Three muffled gunshots.
A blood hole appeared in the center of each of the three guards' brows.
They fell simultaneously.
Chen Mo threw away the pistol.
Silence returned to the corridor.
He walked toward Ward No. 3 at the end of the corridor.
The ward door was tightly shut.
The radar showed the two red dots inside were very close together.
One had a slow heart rate; it was Su Qingxue.
The other's heart rate reached one hundred.
The person in the room had heard the commotion outside.
They were preparing to act.
