54: The perpetrators were shot dead.
Can these comrades help them subdue these two Thugs?
"Wake up our companion, untie the rope, and let him come over," the middle-aged woman said again.
The public security comrades looked at the person on the ground; it had been difficult to tie him up, and if he were released, the situation would become even more troublesome.
"Bang."
The old man fired his gun.
"I told you to release the person, didn't you hear me?"
This shot was fired into the crowd, but everyone was lucky; the bullet flew directly through the crowd, pierced a chair, and flew into another pillar.
Quite a few people shuddered in fear.
Seeing this, the public security comrades knew they could not hesitate any longer.
They crouched down and began to untie the rope for the man.
"This rope is a dead knot; it can only be cut with a knife."
While the public security comrade was speaking, he also looked at the two Thugs.
"Find a knife and untie him immediately. I will kill one person every minute."
The old man said loudly.
While he was speaking, Xiao Niannian heard the clanking sound of metal objects in his pocket. He also had hand grenades on him.
Xiao Niannian discovered that the old man's waist was also bulging.
A possibility suddenly occurred to her: the old man had explosives strapped to his body.
Since they dared to bomb the cinema and brought so many landmines and hand grenades inside, it was not surprising that they had explosives strapped to their bodies.
These people wanted to take revenge on China during the New Year and retaliate for the Military Unit shooting down their plane. These people would never surrender; instead, they would drag a group of people down with them.
"That old man has explosives. I will deal with the middle-aged woman, and you deal with that old man. Let's strike at the same time."
Lu Jing also sensed that something was wrong. He and Xiao Niannian had just agreed that each of them would handle one person. Now, seeing Xiao Niannian's gesture, Lu Jing nodded.
If they delayed any longer, time would be up, and the landmines in other places would be detonated.
Now, they had to rescue these two people from the hands of the Thugs.
Watching the old man walk closer and closer to the middle-aged woman, Lu Jing stared intently, his hand gripping his weapon tightly.
Xiao Niannian already held her weapon in her hand, and she saw Lu Jing's gesture.
Hu Ping saw Xiao Niannian walking towards this side and remembered the fierce look she had seen on Xiao Niannian just a moment ago. Could it be that Xiao Niannian wanted to deal with this woman?
But Xiao Niannian's martial arts skills were no better than her own. If she hadn't been startled just now, she wouldn't have been captured by this middle-aged woman.
"Xiao Niannian, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how would I have been threatened by someone with a weapon?"
But now, besides anger, Hu Ping dared not move; she was afraid that this middle-aged woman would go crazy and actually kill her.
"Step back, retreat to the wall."
The old man said.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman walked towards the wall.
The spot where Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian were standing was the path they were about to pass.
Xiao Niannian made a gesture to Lu Jing with her other hand behind her back.
Watching the old man and the middle-aged woman holding the people hostage and retreating backwards, Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian struck at the same time.
"Bang."
Xiao Niannian raised her hand, a gunshot rang out, and her weapon struck the middle-aged woman's head.
"Ding, marksmanship accuracy +1," Xiao Niannian heard a voice in her mind.
"Ah..."
Watching the middle-aged woman get shot in the head and killed instantly, Hu Ping jumped up in fright.
"Ah... you killed someone..."
Xiao Niannian tore open the middle-aged woman's clothes, and seeing the explosives strapped to her, her eyes shifted.
After being shot in the head, the middle-aged woman twitched a few times and lost her breath.
Lu Jing also struck at the same time.
"Bang."
Lu Jing hit the old man's head directly; the bullet passed through his head and flew backwards.
Lu Jing also tore open the old man's clothes, and seeing the explosives inside, Lu Jing said.
"Fang Qiang, He Yong, come and defuse the bombs."
"Here."
Fang Qiang and He Yong had just subdued several people, and now hearing Captain Lu's order, they immediately ran over.
"They both have explosives on them, be careful."
"Xiao Cui, Li Le, you evacuate the crowd."
"Yes."
The two public security comrades looked at this scene in shock.
They hadn't expected these Soldier Comrades to be so fast, ruthless, and accurate, shooting both of them in the head directly.
At this moment, the look in Hu Ping's eyes when she looked at Xiao Niannian was full of fear.
Xu Yang, Wu Jiaojiao, and the others were also looking at Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing.
Xu Yang naturally knew Lu Jing, this Battalion Commander Lu who was known to everyone in the Division Headquarters. And that Female Comrade was the one he had seen earlier at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
"They also installed landmines. Niannian, come with me to search."
Xiao Niannian hummed in agreement, not looking at the people around her anymore, as she began to observe the surroundings.
Yang Fang, Zhu Dan, and a few others ran over.
"Pingping."
Hu Ping had been terrified by the scene of the headshot, and even now, she was still trembling.
"It's okay now, Pingping."
"Let's get out quickly."
Yang Fang and Zhu Dan helped Hu Ping up.
Wu Jiaojiao looked at Xiao Niannian with some fear; she hadn't expected that Xiao Niannian would dare to kill someone in public.
And Battalion Commander Lu actually called Xiao Niannian to go look for landmines.
"Captain Lu, I also know how to defuse landmines. I will search with you."
"Captain Lu, I will also search with you."
Xu Yang stepped forward and said.
The other comrades also chimed in.
"Alright."
Xiao Niannian quickly looked under the chairs; she remembered that those few people had just gone to these rows.
Seeing others searching as well, Xiao Niannian looked around again; she could now hear sounds within a dozen meters. Whether it was a loud sound or a quieter one.
Xiao Niannian heard a ticking sound. She looked up and saw that on a pillar above her head, where a speaker used to be, it was now covered by a piece of cloth.
Xiao Niannian walked towards the front; the closer she got, the louder the sound became.
"Lu Jing, there is a landmine here."
Xiao Niannian called out to Lu Jing.
Hearing this, Lu Jing walked over quickly.
He looked up and saw the spot. Lu Jing grabbed a ladder from the side and got closer.
Seeing Lu Jing checking the landmine, Xiao Niannian looked elsewhere.
"Report, a landmine has been found."
"Report, I have one here too."
"Report, a landmine was found under this chair."
Listening to one landmine after another being discovered and watching these Soldiers begin to defuse the landmines, Xiao Niannian looked not far away.
She saw many slogans on the wall, but one of them seemed crooked, and it was written with the Teacher's words.
And the portrait next to it had also fallen to the ground.
Something was wrong.
In this era, if a portrait fell to the ground, someone would immediately pick it up, wipe it clean, and put it back in its original position. She walked towards the portrait.
Wu Jiaojiao had not left and was also leading people to search.
She saw the portrait, walked over quickly, and prepared to reach out.
"Don't move."
