Chapter 480 Self Rescue



"What else can we do? We can’t escape the room at all, so we’re going to die here." Snow began to cry.

Dai Li picked up the phone, pointed to the air vent of the exhaust fan, and then added, "Although we can’t get out from that air vent, we can hold the phone out. Maybe there is a signal outside the vent, then we can call the police."

"You are right, give it a try." Snow stopped crying at once.

Dai Li climbed up the chair again, stretched his arm through the air vent to get the phone to the other side of the wall. Then he dialed 911 again.

Unfortunately, the phone still wasn’t connected. The phone was so close to the building area that the signal was still shielded.

"Did you get through?" Snow looked expectantly at Dai Li, but Dai Li shook his head.

Snow sat on the ground in despair, and it looked like he was on the verge of despair again.

The next second, he suddenly picked up the rifle on the ground and yelled, "I’ll go out and fight them. Even if I die, I can take a few of them with me."

"Wait a minute!" Dai Li jumped down from the chair at once and caught Snow by his hand.

"Do not stop me, I’m going to die anyway, let me fight with them!" Snow struggled to free himself, but he was hurt, so it was hard for him to free himself from Dai Li.

"Calm down. I’ve just come up with a new way, and I have 80% confidence that we can escape from here," said Dai Li.

"What’s your method?" Snow stopped struggling.

"Give me the gun first." Dai Li stretched out his hands.

Snow thought Dai Li was worried that he was going to go out and fight with the kidnappers, so he gave the rifle to Dai Li.

Dai Li, however, climbed up the chair with the rifle in his hands, and then leaned against the vent.

"What are you going to do?" Snow asked.

Dai Li reached the rifle out of the air vent and sighted down the barrel.

"Who are you going to shoot?" Snow continued to ask.

"I will just shoot at anyone who passes by. Let’s see who gets unlucky," Dai Li said.

"What on earth?" Snow asked doubtfully.

Dai Li leaned against the wall, aimed his gun at the distance through the vent, and then said, "What would do if you were shot at by someone while you were walking on the road?"

"There is no doubt that I’d lie down right away and then run away," said Snow.

"But what if you couldn’t run away?" asked Dai Li.

"I would yell for help and call the police." Snow suddenly understood and said, "I see. You are going to shoot at people passing by, then they will call the police! But what if they run away and don’t call the police?"

"I must stop them. I am going to shoot them in the leg, so they can’t move and they have to call the police. Then they will have to stay where they are and wait for the police." Dai Li paused and added, "But in that case, I’ll be sued. If I’m lucky, I will be charged with intentional assault, but if not, I will be charged with attempted murder."

"Save our lives before thinking about anything else." Snow was more sensible than before. He bowed his head, thought for a few seconds, and said, "But it won’t work even if the police come here. We are so far away from them, they won’t be able to hear our cries for help at all."

"So, I’ll also be charged with assaulting the police," Dai Li joked.

"You mean when the police come here, you will shoot them?" Snow understood immediately.

"Yes, the police are different from ordinary people. If ordinary people are shot by someone, they might not call the police when they run away. On the other hand, you can imagine a cop being shot at the scene of a shooting accident. He would certainly call in a lot of police to help him, and then they would try to find out who the shooter was. Then they will find us and rush towards where we are. When these kidnappers see the police, will they stay here? No, they’ll run. Then we shall be saved!" Dai Li explained to Snow.

"Mr. Li, what a genius you are! This is great!" Snow finally calmed down, and added, "But I have a question: how’s your marksmanship? We are far away from your targets. Are you sure you can hit someone in the leg?

Dai Li laughed. "Didn’t you come to my training center to investigate? You should know Adam Holly received training there."

"But your training center is a fitness training center, not a shooting range," said Snow in confusion.

"What I want to tell you is that I have been with Adam Holly for a long time, and he has taught me everything about shooting!" said Dai Li confidently.

Since he was the world’s top sports shooter, Dai Li had certainly preserved Adam Holly in the athlete’s illustrated handbook, and it came in handy at this time. Dai Li used the second copy card and successfully acquired 70% of Holly’s strength.

In this case, the rifle was clearly the most reliable of their weapons. Although Adam Holly was not a sniper, he was the world’s top sports shooter, and his marksmanship must be much better than an ordinary shooter’s. A sports shooter could hit the center of a dollar coin from fifty meters away. Therefore, it wouldn’t be difficult to hit a man in the leg within the effective range of the gun. A man was much bigger than a coin, after all.

Dai Li was not worried about the range of the gun, because the gun in his hands was the famous Remington 700 rifle.

This gun was first manufactured in 1962, and the Remington 700 rifle was still in production today, and still sold well.

The essential part of a gun was the gun bolt, which was the mechanism that delivered the bullet, locked the firing chamber, hit the percussion cap, unlocked the firing chamber, extracted the bullet casing, etc. The gun bolt of the Remington 700 rifle had multiple layers of packaging, making its gun bolt the safest in the world.

It was the reason that the Remington 700 rifle could keep good sales for more than half a century. In addition, it was quite cheap, so many Americans chose the Remington 700 rifle when they bought guns. It was especially well-liked by farmers and hunters, because the Remington had good stability and long range.

The police version of the Remington 700 rifle was standard equipment for American police, and 90% of the marksmen among the American police force used the sniper version of the Remington 700. In addition, the American version of the M24 sniper rifle and the M40 sniper rifle used by the Marine Corps were also developed from the Remington 700 rifle.

If a gun had large production and good sales, it would be easier to get, and more easily used by criminals. For example, all terrorists have AK-47’s, and in the movie series Long Arm of the Law, everyone has a type 54 pistol. The Remington 700 rifle was also the most popular rifle on the black market, and it was one of the most used guns by gangsters.

...

Dai Li kept staring outside, expecting someone to pass by. Time dragged by, and every minute felt like an hour.

Finally, a man appeared in Dai Li’s view

"Someone is coming!" Dai Li held his breath and began to aim.

Snow was so frightened that he didn’t dare to breathe. He was afraid that he might disturb Dai Li. If Dai Li failed to wound the man, the man would run away.

More than ten seconds later, Dai Li pulled the trigger. With just one shot, the man in the distance fell to the ground.

"What happened?" asked Snow.

"I shot him." Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Next, we have to wait for him to call the police."

...

Sam didn’t feel much pain, but he could see clearly that there was a small hole in his pants, and his blood was flowing out.

Sam immediately realized that he had been shot.

Shootings were not uncommon in the United States, but Sam didn’t expect it would happen to him.

Sam tried to stand up, but his injured leg couldn’t support him. Sam knew that if he couldn’t stand up, and it would be impossible for him to escape from here.

He looked around in horror, wondering where the shooter was.

Sam knew that he was a target now, and the shooter could shoot him at any time.

However, the shooter didn’t shoot him.

Why didn’t the shooter keep shooting? Is the place where I fell down out of the shooter’s vision? He can’t aim at me if I stay here!" Thinking of this, Sam stopped moving. He was afraid that if he moved, the shooter would aim at him again.

But Sam’s injured leg was still bleeding. Even if the shooter had stopped shooting, Sam would eventually bleed out.

Sam finally took out his phone and dialed 911.

"Hello, 911? I got shot, I got shot! The address is..."

...

With the sound of sirens, a police car came from the distance.

On the second floor of the building, one of Leon’s men saw the police car.

"Hey, watch out, there’s the police," the man said.

"Don’t worry. There’s only one police car, and it’s not coming towards us," said the other.

Sure enough, the police car passed the building and stopped not far away.

"See? I told you that the police car wasn’t coming for us."

...

The sound of the siren made Blecher more nervous, and he looked at Leon with an appealing look.

"Go and see what happened," Leon said to his man.

Leon’s man went out and then came back not long after. "It’s alright, boss, just a police car passing by."

"Don’t worry, Mr. Blecher, it’s safe here. The police won’t notice us," Leon explained to Blecher.

"But I can still hear the siren now," Blecher said anxiously.

Leon’s man answered at once, "Boss, the police car stopped nearby. It seems that someone in the neighborhood called the police."

Leon waved his hands. "Tell everyone not to stick their heads out, and to mind their own business as long as the police don’t bother us."

...

The abandoned chemistry lab on the third floor.

"Coach Li, I seem to hear a siren. Is it the police?" asked Snow.

Dai Li nodded. "I hear it too, and it’s getting closer and closer. The man I shot called the police."

As soon as Dai Li said this, the police car was in his sights.

"The police have come!" Dai Li began to aim at the front of the car and was ready to shoot.

The police car stopped and two policemen stepped out of the car. They took out their guns and walked towards Sam.

"Help, police officer, help me! I got shot!" Sam shouted at once.

The two policemen didn’t approach Sam. They called out to him, "Sir, do you know where the shooter was?"

"I don’t know where the shooter was, he only shot me once," said Sam.

The two policemen discussed for a while, then one of them took out his gun and began to aim around, as if to deter the shooter. The other rushed towards Sam quickly, helped him stand up, and then quickly pulled him back into cover.

Just then, shots rang out again.

The two policemen lay down at the same time. But this time, Dai Li didn’t aim at the two policemen, but at the front tire of the police car.

"Hurry up, get behind the car!" one of the policemen shouted. The other immediately lifted Sam up, then the three of them hid behind the police car as fast as they could.

"We’ve got a flat tire, so we can’t drive. Although I don’t know where the shooter is, he probably hid high, so he could shoot the tire of our car," one of the policemen said.

As soon as the policeman finished his words, a bullet punched a whole in the car’s hood.

"D*mn it, how dare the shooter to attack the police? It could be a terrorist attack! I have to call dispatch and ask them to send backup."

...

In the building, Leon’s man stood at the window and looked out toward the street.

"I thought I heard a shot, did you hear it?" asked one of them.

"I thought I must’ve heard wrong, but I did hear something just before the police car came," said the other man.

"I thought the shot we heard just now came from the direction of the police car. Is someone attacking the police?" said the other.

"Why don’t I go over there and have a look?" asked Leon’s man.

"The boss said we should mind our own business as long as the police don’t bother us."

...

There were sirens again, but this time there were a lot of sirens. Judging by the sound, there were many police cars.

Blecher stood up from the chair directly, and there was some terror in his eyes.

There was also a look of fear on Leon’s face. If there had only been one police car, it would be no more than two policemen. He had seven or eight people with more than ten guns. In addition, they had heavy firepower, so it would be quite easy for them to deal with two policemen.

But now there were a lot of police, so everything was different. If there were enough police, they would be wiped out by the police.

"Let’s go out and have a look." Leon could hardly sit still, so he went out with his men.
