Chapter 1401 Pursuit(1/2)
Time goes back to five minutes ago.
"We are close to the dam, and we can let the rearguard retreat."
Simon was sitting in the car. At this time, there were only two gun-wielding accomplices beside him, and there were only a driver and a gunman in other cars.
The driver at the front saw the ground getting wet, so he reminded Simon.
"Well, you place the bomb first, and then do it as soon as they come back."
Simon was not in a good mood at this time, even a little aggrieved.
He didn't expect that the mission would take so long and end with them running away.
That was not the original plan at all.
If he had known that it would be like this, he would not have accepted this mission at all.
But there was no way, things had reached this point, and it was too late for him to regret it.
Hearing the reminder from his men, he picked up the walkie-talkie and reminded the defender to leave.
"You sound the horn every minute. Are you sure there is no tail behind you?"
Simon was quite cautious. Although he was about to leave, he didn't want to fall short at the last moment.
"Copy that, we waited until now and no one has come close, let alone come in."
Upon hearing his order, the driver behind him quickly started the car and rushed towards this direction.
At first, the ride went smoothly, but the driver was bored and even sounded the horn for about ten seconds.
Simon didn't care about this, but felt more relieved.
But suddenly, he heard a burst of gunshots coming from the intercom.
"Hey, why are the lights here broken?"
At the same time, the driver's doubtful voice came over.
Next, some complaints from the driver came through the walkie-talkie. Because the walkie-talkie was held by the gunman, the other party did not disconnect the talking channel. Apparently, he was deliberately applying eye drops to the driver.
Hearing the driver say that the car was stuck by rocks, Simon was about to speak to warn him, but a stranger's voice suddenly appeared the next second.
Then there were gunshots again and the driver's voice surrendering.
Simon's face suddenly darkened. He didn't expect that someone actually chased him.
"Blow the dam now and we are ready to leave and let them all drown here."
Simon directly put down the walkie-talkie, and then ordered the blaster next to him.
They carried a lot of explosives with the purpose of blowing open the dam and leaving here.
Not far from the dam is the mouth of the Thames River, which happens to be the least defended place.
Just as Zhang Pin continued to interrogate the driver, several people who had been prepared quickly opened an exit from the originally sealed position. The huge water flow instantly destroyed the original water blocking facility, and a steady stream of water poured into the subway tunnel.
.
Rumble——
Just when Zhang Pin saw that the intercom in the car was working, bursts of dull sounds reached his ears.
"run!"
Sir Zhang reminded the driver, then jumped directly into the car. After seeing the driver running towards the original entrance, he opened the dump truck behind the car and found the gold packed in the box.
After collecting these boxes of gold, Zhang Pincai jumped on the roof of the car.
This is exactly where he came down from the vent at the top.
Originally this location was relatively high from the ground, but now with the buffer of the car, the distance has been reduced a lot.
Sir Zhang stood on the roof of the car and saw the flood rolling in front of him.
As a last resort, he could only jump up, jump onto the iron frame again, and then start climbing outside.
"ah--"
Just when Zhang Pin was lying on the shelf, the raging water had already covered the car.
However, the obstruction left some gaps in the space above. At this time, Sir Zhang ignored his demeanor and quickly climbed up using his hands and feet.
Sir Zhang was not overtaken by the current because of his quick movements, but the driver running towards the entrance was not so lucky.
Naturally, he couldn't outrun the current. The current caught up with him and covered his calves. The driver who was running was so disturbed that his steps suddenly softened and he fell to the ground.
The next second, more water flowed over. The driver had no time to get up and was instantly covered by the water flow.
Before it was covered, he only had time to let out a scream, and the next second, he disappeared without a trace.
Bang——
As the water flow increased, water began to pour in from the vent position. Seeing this, Zhang Pin moved a little faster.
When he was only two meters away from the ground, he simply kicked off his feet and flew into the air.
Just at this time, the water rushed up fiercely.
As soon as Sir Zhang jumped out of the hole, water spurted out from below.
Crunch——
"Hey, Pinzi, what's going on?"
Just when Zhang Pin just jumped out, Chen Jiaju and Partridge Cai had just gotten into the car and were about to leave.
Suddenly, I noticed the gushing water and Zhang Pin who jumped out in advance.
"Stop talking, you were careless. Those guys actually opened the dam and diverted all the water into the subway tunnel."
Zhang Pin patted the dust on his body and then spoke nonchalantly.
If Simon does this, this unfinished subway line may be completely destroyed.
Because when the water flows over, the building materials and even the tunnel inside will be soaked, and there will definitely be safety risks.
However, this is something that the Gui Laoying authorities need to consider, and Sir Zhang will naturally not worry about it.
"Simon and others want to leave along the river, I'll make a call first."
Zhang Pin waved to the two people who had just gotten out of the car and wanted to ask about the situation, then took out his mobile phone and called Ethan.
It stands to reason that the most important person to contact at this time is the London authorities. After all, London is their base and their power is naturally stronger.
But Zhang Pin couldn't trust him.
Simon chose London as the place to trade, and he was able to find a tunnel like this under construction to hide in. There was even an escape exit in the tunnel that was not controlled by others. All this showed that someone in the London authorities must be helping the other side.
Now that Simon and others have opened the dam, they must be ready to escape.
It can be said that now is the last window period to hunt down Simon and others. If it were later, when they enter the sea and find them in the vast sea, it will be no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
"Simon and others have absconded with the gold and are about to leave through the Thames Channel into the sea. Is there any way you can catch up with them as soon as possible?"
After Zhang Pin got through Ethan's phone, he directly stated his purpose without any greetings.
"We have two helicopters here. Where are you now?"
After hearing what Zhang Pin said, Ethan did not hesitate and chose to cooperate with Zhang Pin.
Ethan is also a smart man. He originally told Zhang Pin that their mission was to find Sean and deal with the virus. It seemed that the mission did not overlap with Zhang Pin's, so there was a basis for cooperation between the two parties.
However, Ethan's statement was soon revealed by Zhang Pin because of some of the little tricks Bisling used when he led the team to capture Simon. Since then, the cooperation between the two parties has reached a deadlock.
Ethan and others came to London specially this time, obviously not just for Sean and the virus.
Or maybe their purpose was for the virus at first, but after discovering Simon and others, Ethan and others were immediately ready to take more credit.
It's a pity that Ethan and others encountered a difficult situation. Not only did their plan to capture Simon fail to come true, but Zhang Pin discovered the trick, and then in turn captured their mission target.
After Ethan learned that Sean had been captured by Zhang Pin's people, he specifically wanted to ask Zhang Pin to bring him over.
However, during this period, Zhang Pin did not meet with Ethan at all, on the pretext of looking for clues about Simon and Owen Xiao, and did not answer his calls, so Ethan never got a suitable opportunity.
This time Zhang Pin took the initiative to speak to him, and of course Ethan would not hesitate.
In less than ten minutes, the helicopter hovered over Zhang Pin and others.
"Go straight this way. There is a dam about ten kilometers away."
After getting on the helicopter, Zhang Pin took out the map he found during this period.
The driver told Zhang Pin before that it would take half an hour to drive to the location of the dam. Zhang Pin thought that his location and the dam should be far away.
But when he found the map, he realized that he had made a mistake.
The reason why it took the driver half an hour to reach the dam was not because the distance was too far, but because the tunnel was not smooth, so the car could not drive too fast.
However, even though he was sure that the dam was not too far away from him, Zhang Pin did not abandon Ethan and chase the person himself.
In addition to the fact that he was a man of integrity, and since he had made an appointment with Ethan, he would not leave him behind, there was also the fact that even if the car drove to the dam, Simon and others would have probably floated away along the river by now.
Compared to chasing him from the edge of the river by car, Ethan's helicopter was obviously more convenient.
