Chapter 1134: Raki Dropped the Bomb
Stout observed the water surface and the shore through the scope, asking, "Raki, if I spot the target, can I shoot directly?"
Because the two bridges weren't far apart, and there were street lamps on both sides of the river channel, the light on their side was bright, and the situation on the water surface and both sides of the river channel was in full view.
If the FBI showed their faces downstream, then don't blame him for shooting.
After all, Wayne Walkerly was still watching him from behind, he didn't dare let them escape, at most, he would let them go under circumstances where he could.
The voice on the other side of the earphone was hoarse and somewhat gloomy, "Of course you can, aim for a one-hit kill."
Stout had already made up his mind to take a gamble on the timing, smilingly replying on the surface, "Then I hope they come towards me, giving me a chance to aim for their heads!"
Under Bridge No. 315.
Jodie surfaced, calming her rapid breathing, and put her glasses back on.
That was just now too thrilling.
Fortunately, after Akai Shuichi returned to the car, he immediately pulled them out of the car, and they barely dodged the explosion, otherwise, they would have died in the car.
Even so, the firelight from the explosion just now still made her back feel hot, and the shockwave of the explosion gave them a speed descent, sending her directly into the water.
Andre Camel surfaced on the water surface not far away, reached out to wipe the water dripping from his hair onto his face, and looked towards Jodie and Akai Shuichi under the bridge, "Jodie, Akai…"
"Cameron, lower your head, dive!"
Akai Shuichi shouted loudly, quickly taking off his wet coat, rolling it up and throwing it towards Andre Camel.
Andre Camel was stunned, seeing the clothes thrown over, he came to his senses and quickly held his breath and dived underwater.
"Whizz!"
A bullet pierced through the bundle of clothes, knocking it down, and the bullet also flew underwater.
Jodie's face turned pale as she looked towards the direction from which the bullet came, but her line of sight was blocked by the concrete pillar of the bridge, and she couldn't see the situation there.
"Hide behind the concrete pillar, don't come out, there's a Sniper over there!" Akai Shuichi said, and then asked Andre Camel who was diving over, "Cameron, are you injured?"
After Andre Camel reached the concrete pillar, he surfaced, his head emerging, showing his fear, "No, I'm fine."
He was just a little further out from where he surfaced, and he almost got hit by the Sniper Rifle, it was so dangerous!
Jodie turned her head to observe the surrounding situation, and at once saw a beam of light from a flashlight swaying in the dimly lit upstream area, she was stunned for a moment, and reminded, "They have personnel arranged on the riverbank upstream!"
"There should also be some downstream…" Akai Shuichi looked towards the downstream direction of the water flow, the downstream light was much brighter, and there were no figures on the riverbank, but a bridge spanning the river surface could be seen, and he knew that the Organization had prepared so much, they couldn't possibly give up that ambush point, "Probably a Sniper."
The crowd searching upstream was about 700 yards from the paper mill, and there weren't many people in the Organization who could reach this sniping distance…
Is the Sniper at the paper mill Gin…?
No matter what, the vicinity of Route Bridge No. 315 was within the observation range of that Sniper at the paper mill.
Upstream, beyond the sniping range, there were also people from the Organization guarding the riverbank, and the sniping distance of the Sniper could just connect with them.
As for downstream…
There should be other Snipers lying in wait, cooperating with the Sniper at the paper mill, and they could also observe the waters and riverbanks between Route Bridge No. 315 and that bridge clearly.
In this way, their escape route was completely blocked.
"Mr. Akai, what should we do now?" Andre Camel looked around, feeling that no matter which way he went, he would be facing a hail of bullets, and he couldn't make up his mind, "Should we just stay here?"
Jodie lowered her head and planned, "It will take Mr. James at least an hour to get here from Shimono Town…"
"No, the personnel from Ichikawa City have also been stopped, don't expect them to arrive for support within an hour."
Akai Shuichi observed the surroundings and didn't say anything more.
As long as they held out for an hour and a half, their support would almost be able to arrive, and the people from the Organization would probably leave immediately.
Although from this point of view, they could hide behind the cover under the bridge and wait for them, the problem was, would the Organization let them wait?
If the Organization had other personnel arriving one after another, they would definitely gather their personnel to a position where they could see under the bridge and surround them to kill them.
The water here was deep and the current was swift, they could save stamina by relying on the concrete pillar, but they also had to expend strength to stay afloat, if their stamina was almost exhausted, and the people from the Organization suddenly changed their strategy and attacked, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Staying in the water was risky.
Trying to break out, was also risky…
…
Paper Mill on the shore.
A sports car drove into the factory and stopped downstairs in the office building.
After Chianti and Korn went upstairs, they took Gin's place, set up their Sniper Rifles, and observed the water surface and the shore.
At the same time, Vodka, who received the news, had the Search Team close the distance, cooperating with the sniping distance of Chianti and Korn, getting closer to Route Bridge No. 315.
Under the bridge, Andre Camel leaned against the concrete pillar, hiding in the shadow, and found that the people on the upstream bank were approaching the bridge, he couldn't help but nervously remind, "Mr. Akai, they're coming closer!"
Akai Shuichi saw that the people over there got a little closer and then stopped to continue their search, he estimated the distance these people moved, and murmured, "Gin has been replaced…"
"What?" Jodie didn't hear clearly.
Akai Shuichi didn't explain, observing the surroundings, he lowered his voice, "We have to find a way to leave here…"
It seemed that the Organization really didn't intend to wait for them, and was slowly gathering personnel.
They had to find a way to leave here, if their stamina was more than half consumed and they were surrounded, it would be difficult to counterattack.
In the middle of the bridge, Chi Feichei stood by the guardrail, lowering his head and fiddling with the bomb in his hand, adding a waterproof layer to the bomb.
The Black Porsche 356A drove across the bridge and stopped beside Chi Feichei.
Gin opened the car door, got out of the car, turned his head and looked at the extended van on the road that had been burned to a black framework, "Have you checked? What's the situation in the car?"
"They all jumped out of the car, there are no corpses in the car, there should be three people."
Chi Feichei said in a hoarse voice, tidying up the bomb, lighting it with a lighter, turning around to face the outside of the bridge, waiting for the fuse to burn halfway before throwing the bomb down under the bridge.
He hadn't prepared the waterproof layer for the bomb in advance, he had already given Akai Shuichi time to leave, it was considered letting them go.
Otherwise, after Akai Shuichi jumped into the water, he would have directly thrown a bomb into the water, and Akai Shuichi's group would have been injured, if not dead.
He had to force Akai Shuichi to use all his strength to cope, while avoiding really forcing Akai Shuichi to death, it wasn't easy for him.
"Raki dropped the bomb."
Gin said a sentence to the communication headset, reminding his teammates not to be scared by the explosion.
"Boom!"
The bomb exploded under the bridge, the river water was blown up, splashing water spouts, splashing Gin on the guardrail.
Gin: "..."
He knew he shouldn't have gotten out of the car so quickly!
Chi Feichei was also splashed with a lot of water, he took out another bomb, started to install the waterproof layer, and asked in a low hoarse voice, "Haven't the others arrived yet?"
"Probably three more minutes…"
Gin estimated the time, and asked the communication headset, "Chianti, Korn, is there any movement under the bridge?"
"No." Korn replied.
"There's no movement at all," Chianti's tone was impatient, "Have they already run away? Or have they already died in the water?"
Under the bridge, Akai Shuichi, Jodie, and Andre Camel used daggers and other tools to cling tightly to the bridge bottom, seeing the explosion in the water, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If they were still in the water, they would have been injured, if not dead, fortunately, they had withdrawn to the bridge surface in time.
Jodie looked at Akai Shuichi, her gaze asking whether or not he wanted to continue.
They were clinging to the bridge bottom, planning to move to the shore in this way, and then go ashore from the shadows.
Although moving like this along the bridge bottom would also consume a lot of stamina, and it wasn't necessarily possible to leave from under the Sniper's nose, they would still have to hide in the shadow of the bridge, but there was no other way, staying in the water would also consume strength, it was better to get moving early, once they reached solid ground, they might be able to find a chance to counterattack.
Akai Shuichi recalled the factory he saw when the car came, suddenly changed his mind, shook his head, and raised his chin towards another direction, gesturing for the other two to go that way.
Originally, he had planned to sneak back to the paper mill, but now, he suddenly had an idea, which might be their only chance of survival…
On the bridge, Gin finished listening to Chianti and Korn's report, reached out to wipe the water splashed on his face, looked at Chi Feichei, and asked jokingly, "Raki, what do you think?"
"Under the bridge," Chi Feichei said in a hoarse voice, finishing the waterproof layer of another bomb, walking towards the other side of the bridge guardrail, his tone calm, "Moving along the bridge bottom, using the shadow of the bridge, they can reach the shore."
In the communication channel, Vodka also heard Chi Feichei's judgment, and asked, "Boss, should I bring people to check under the bridge?"
"Wait a bit, you continue to block the upstream, don't leave any blockade loophole that will let them escape…"
Gin glanced at Chi Feichei who threw the bomb under the bridge, and reminded, "Raki dropped another bomb."
Knowing that the FBI were clinging to the bridge bottom and might have already moved to a position close to the riverbank, it was obvious that throwing a bomb into the water would likely not hit anyone, and Raki still threw it?
He must be bored!
"Boom!"
The other side of the bridge was also given a 'big splash' by the splashing water.
Gin avoided a baptism of water, and asked, "Take a gamble, which side do we go to?"
"The paper mill…"
Chi Feichei looked up at the water splashing up and then falling like rain, and didn't care whether the water had wet his wig, he paused, and then suddenly asked, "Which side is Bourbon on?"
According to his speculation, if Akai Shuichi wanted to sneak ashore using the shadow of the bridge, he would likely choose the paper mill side.
Because there was a Sniper stationed at the paper mill, the Sniper could observe the surrounding terrain, and there might not be many people ambushing there.
Moreover, compared to the unknown, the side with known information was obviously much easier to plan.
But he and Gin didn't need to gamble, the people arranged by Rum had already arrived nearby, so they could just go to the other side.
"Bourbon is in the vicinity of the Cold Machinery Industrial Plant," Gin also thought that the possibility of Akai Shuichi coming ashore from the paper mill side was higher, and turned to get in the car, "Then let's go to the paper mill side!"
After Chi Feichei got in the car, the Porsche 356A drove off the bridge and turned towards the riverbank.
Before the car had stopped steadily, Chi Feichei, sitting in the passenger seat, saw the shadow moving along the bridge bottom, picked up the Sniper Rifle that Gin had placed in the car, and observed the situation.
Akai Shuichi and the other two didn't come to the riverbank on the paper mill side as he had expected, but chose the other side…
The Cold Machinery Industrial Plant side where Amuro Toru was!
