Chapter 133: Chapter 134: Devising The Plan
Seeing the bandit being excessively stubborn, Gao Zhong Dui didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Could they really agree to the bandit’s conditions?
Actually, changing the approach to temporarily satisfy the bandit’s conditions to paralyze him, then taking him out on the road isn’t impossible. Whether it’s the police’s counter-terrorism personnel or Lone Wolf B Group’s Sniper Team, they all have the strength to take out a bandit in high-speed motion.
But Gao Zhong Dui was unwilling. On Huaxia’s soil, a criminal was being so arrogant facing them. Moreover, the bandit would inevitably take the hostage when withdrawing, which would greatly increase the risk of rescue. It would be better to solve it in the fast food restaurant.
However, the bandit was very cunning now, relying on the hostage’s body for cover and not giving the Sniper Team any opportunity to take him out at all. Gao Zhong Dui felt very helpless in his heart. It seemed that now the only way was to take out the bandit in the car.
“Alright, Gao Sen, don’t get agitated. We agree to your conditions. The car you want is on its way.”
The negotiator, seeing the Commander’s gaze, hurriedly stepped forward, fearing that being late would cause the bandit’s dissatisfaction and harm the hostage. Who could help that the initiative was not in the hands of the police and Gao Zhong Dui’s team now.
This time Gao Sen got smart. He didn’t communicate with the negotiator. At the scene, besides the onlookers whispering their own opinions, no one on the police side spoke. Everyone had a grave expression.
The negotiation reached a stalemate. Next, it depended on Wolf Fang’s performance.
Gao Zhong Dui didn’t gain any advantage from the bandit side. Chang Ning and Geng Jihui also learned about it through Xiao Zhuang’s real-time report. At this point, the situation was very clear. The plan to take out the bandit in the fast food restaurant was probably going to fail.
The most important part of their plan was the Sniper Team taking out bandit No. 1, that is, Gao Sen, to ensure the hostage’s safety. Only then could Chang Ning and Geng Jihui go all out. But now Gao Sen was completely hiding behind the hostage, not giving the Sniper Team any opportunity at all.
What to do?
Chang Ning didn’t want the plan to fail, and neither did the rest of B Group want their first actual combat mission to end without an impressive record.
No matter what ideas they had now, they had to hold them back. The hostage’s safety came first!
“Chang Ning, you and B Group have any ideas?”
Gao Zhong Dui asking them was completely treating a dead horse as a live one. Young people’s minds were flexible; maybe some clever idea would burst out and surprise him.
Hearing Gao Zhong Dui’s words in the earpiece, the Assault Team and Sniper Team immediately stated that they would follow Wild Wolf and Forest Wolf’s command. Lao Pao had even stated his position before them.
Things were just like this. No matter how secretive their plan was, the bandit was clearly determined not to engage. How to handle this? Were they going to force it?
This kind of decision wasn’t something they could participate in. Gao Zhong Dui was clearly aiming at Chang Ning and Geng Jihui.
“Don’t have any psychological burden. I’m just asking for you young people’s ideas. If you can’t come up with a good idea, I won’t blame you.”
Hearing no sound coming from the earpiece for a long time, Gao Zhong Dui’s mind turned and he immediately guessed that the young people were under mental pressure.
He had been through this himself and naturally understood what was in Chang Ning and Geng Jihui’s minds, so he spoke up to relieve their pressure.
The singled-out Chang Ning and Geng Jihui looked at each other at this moment.
“You first or me first?”
This was what Chang Ning read from Geng Jihui’s lip movements.
Chang Ning pointed at Geng Jihui, signaling him to speak first.
Seeing this, Geng Jihui didn’t refuse. It didn’t matter who went first.
“Wild Wolf, given the on-site situation and the hostage’s safety, my suggestion is that we first agree to the bandit’s conditions. But the fuel in the car can’t be filled up. I believe the police comrades will handle that. Then we find an opportunity on the road to take out the bandit.”
Geng Jihui’s suggestion was transmitted to every member of the squad through the Lone Wolf Commando Unit’s public channel.
Combined with the current situation, Geng Jihui’s method was the safest. But the Sniper Team’s Ostrich couldn’t laugh. As everyone knew, hitting a stationary target and a moving target were two different things. The difficulty gap between them was not just a little bit.
One could imagine how great the pressure was in Ostrich’s heart. This was actual combat!
The pressure was great, but as a sniper who had received the most advanced, most systematic, and most scientific training, Ostrich believed he could complete this mission. Otherwise, he would have reported it after hearing the Captain’s words. When it came to the hostage’s safety, it wasn’t the time for rashness.
“Strategic Sniper, can you handle this job?”
The medic serving as observer asked with a grin. He deliberately emphasized the words “Strategic Sniper,” clearly teasing Ostrich.
Regarding the matter of strategic sniper, everyone in B Group knew. Ostrich shouted every day that he was Wolf Fang’s best strategic sniper, and everyone had teased him about it plenty.
If Ostrich said this ten years later, no one would question it. But now, just among those they knew, there was the Assassin from the Sniper Company. His sniper technique was top-tier in Wolf Fang, and even he didn’t claim to be Wolf Fang’s best strategic sniper.
But teasing aside, Chang Ning and the others didn’t dampen Ostrich’s confidence. People needed some dreams; otherwise, life had no direction.
“Bald-tailed Wolf, I like your way of addressing me. Please call me that more in the future. But your doubt about me afterward makes me very unhappy. In terms of sniper technique alone, no one here can match me, not even Sha Po Lang.”
Although Ostrich’s words weren’t very steady, Gao Zhong Dui still caught his implication: as long as the opportunity appeared, taking out the bandit wouldn’t be a big problem.
As long as the bandit moved with the hostage, how could the opportunity not appear?
“Big-tailed Wolf, what do you mean? No need to drag me into this!”
Chang Ning pretended to be displeased and said.
Sometimes it’s hard to explain if world will exists. Chang Ning even had the system hack, yet this guy Ostrich overtook him. Who could he reason with?
Sniper technique wasn’t just about good marksmanship. Talent, experience, knowledge, and strong mental fortitude were indispensable. These were the provisions to becoming a top sniper.
Chang Ning had the system boost for marksmanship, Old Ma the Squad Leader’s notes for experience, and the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team regularly formulated related training plans for knowledge and mental fortitude, so everyone was about even there. Only in talent was Chang Ning left speechless by Ostrich.
“Big-tailed Wolf, don’t play dumb with me! When we get back, you and I will have a one-on-one!”
As soon as these words came out, Ostrich couldn’t keep pretending. Now everyone in 026 knew that Chang Ning was a madman in terms of self-discipline in training. With his superior physical quality, that training volume was something they couldn’t endure.
“Don’t, I was wrong.”
Ostrich’s voice even carried a cry. He had no choice but to back down. If he had a one-on-one with Chang Ning, the next day he wouldn’t be able to get out of bed.
“Enough, you two! Do you know what time it is now? When you get back, write a 5,000-word self-criticism. Your attitude must be sincere!”
Gao Zhong Dui couldn’t listen anymore and interrupted their conversation.
Seeing Gao Zhong Dui angry, Chang Ning and Ostrich didn’t even dare to breathe.
Usually, everyone joking around was fine, but what time and occasion was this? If Gao Zhong Dui hadn’t interrupted in time and some people with ulterior motives found out, it would be enough to make the two of them suffer.
“Chang Ning, tell us your idea.”
“This is what I’m thinking…”
Since the Leader called his name, Chang Ning naturally didn’t dare to slack off. A plan full of risky ideas appeared in everyone’s ears.
