Three armed men rushed onto the platform in panic, closely followed by a group of armed police with live ammunition.
Accompanied by the roaring of the military reception officers and screams from the passengers, the scene instantly descended into chaos.
"Ah! Murder! Run!"
"They have guns! Run!"
"Don't panic! Get down!" The reception officers tried their best to calm the frenzied crowd.
Because in this kind of situation, the more panicked they were, the more likely the criminals would open fire and shoot, and it would also give the criminals a good chance to escape.
But the out-of-control crowd was like mad cows, even though the officers were shouting themselves hoarse, no one was listening.
"Bang!"
Zhou Hu fired two random shots at the pursuing armed police, then grabbed a new recruit as a hostage: "Don't come up! Get back!"
The other two criminals followed suit, taking two terrified women as hostages.
The chasing armed police could only retreat repeatedly. The leading police officer was drenched in sweat as he shouted: "Zhou Hu! Don't be impulsive! Don't harm ordinary people! You can't escape anymore, put down your weapons and surrender. Striving for the country's lenient treatment is your only way out!"
Their arrest operation this time was already very tight, but Zhou Hu's criminal gang's counterattack was too astonishing. They never expected that they would run onto the platform.
This was a major failure in their work. If there were casualties among the hostages, they would definitely be held accountable.
Maybe all the leaders of the bureau would have to take off their clothes.
The key was that being punished was one thing, but if there were casualties, they would feel guilty for a lifetime.
"Screw off! If I get caught, I'll be shot a hundred times! Lenient treatment? It'll still be a dead end!" Zhou Hu had a crazed look as he held the gun against the hostage's head: "None of you come over! Or I'll pull a few to cushion my fall before I die! I hate soldiers and police the most in my life, and today they're all here!"
"Alright! Alright! Don't be impulsive! We won't come over!" The lead police officer repeatedly tried to appease Zhou Hu.
At this time, the New Recruit show crew's cameras were still rolling, broadcasting this scene live.
The bullet screen had already exploded.
"Holy sh*t! He really dared to open fire! I thought it was just part of the show at first."
"Bro, it's not part of the show! Don't you know Zhou Hu? On the run for two months, he's an infamous drug dealer and murderer in the coastal area."
"With so many soldiers, how can they be scared by three drug dealers? Just go up and grab them!"
"The above comment is stupid. Soldiers are still human, what can they compete against guns with? Stop watching too many dramas and thinking people can block bullets."
"Oh my god, this is too dangerous. I hope nothing bad happens. I hope everyone can be safe."
It wasn't just the live studio bullet screen that exploded, but also the local government agencies and police departments at the scene.
The major departments had already received countless calls, each more stern than the last.
The city hall leaders rushed to the scene at the first moment. The head of the municipal police bureau took over command at the scene.
The people on the platform were anxious, and the people off the platform were also anxious. People across the country were moved by this incident.
"All of you squat down, especially you soldiers. Whoever dares to mess around, I'll kill them!" Zhou Hu's gaze was icy as he scanned around.
Zhao Yan and Liu Xiaojun were squatting side by side. In fact, with his speed he could rush over and take out the three men. But that would be too flashy, so better play it safe.
Wait for an opportunity, resolve the three criminals and rescue the hostages in a not too flashy way.
"Zhou Hu, don't harm the hostages no matter what. You can ask for any conditions!" Sweat was pouring down the leading police officer's face as he desperately tried to steady Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu sneered, "I was able to run here today and come across these new recruit eggheads. It means heaven wants to give me a chance to live! Get me a car and 5 million in untraceable cash right away!"
Ever since he went on the run, he didn't dare touch the money in his bank card, and the cash he had on him was almost used up. He needed money to continue escaping.
"Good! I’ll have someone bring it to you right away. You must stay calm!" The police officer decided to placate him first.
Zhou Hu added, "Wait, I don't trust you guys. I choose someone to go with you to get the money!"
He was afraid the police would take the opportunity to get close when delivering the money, so he wanted to choose a non-threatening person.
Zhou Hu's eyes slowly swept over the crowd.
"I'll go!" Several reception officers stood up.
The military uniform they wore gave them a sense of responsibility. They didn't hesitate at all, not even having the time to consider.
As long as they could get close to Zhou Hu, even if it meant using their bodies to block the gun, they would protect the safety of the people.
Zhou Hu cursed, "Screw off! All of you squat down! You guys are more difficult than the cops. Unless I've gone crazy, I won't give you guys a chance to get close."
He knew soldiers were harder to deal with than police.
"I... I'll go." At this moment, a clearly frightened yet forcibly calm voice rang out.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the voice.
They saw an ordinary-looking new recruit in both height and appearance standing up, his legs slightly trembling, his face pale, but still gritting his teeth and plucking up courage to stand straight.
The impression he gave was that of a very timid young man who nevertheless forcibly drummed up courage.
"Holy sh*t! I remember his name is Li Fei. You can't judge a book by its cover. Just by this courage alone, he's admirable!"
"I take back what I said, I definitely couldn't do what he did, so I admire him."
"He's clearly about to cry from fear, yet he still forcibly drums up courage to stand up!"
The online audience unanimously expressed admiration.
Liu Xiaojun, Wang Dali, and Zhang Teng also stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Zhao Yan.
Then they felt very ashamed, especially Zhang Teng, who immediately stood up, "Let me go!"
"Me too!" Liu Xiaojun, Wang Dali, more and more new recruits drummed up courage to stand up.
Many of them were also afraid, but Zhao Yan's actions provoked them to impulsively rise to the occasion.
Everyone feels fear. But it is precisely because one can overcome fear and stand up that makes it precious.
"Bang!" Zhou Hu fired a shot into the air and shouted angrily, "What are you all doing? Squat down! Playing hero? I decide who goes, not you!"
Then he looked at Zhao Yan, "You go."
This guy was nondescript and looked almost scared to pee. One glance and there was clearly no threat.
Letting him deliver money would definitely be very safe.
"O-Okay... I'll... I'll go." Zhao Yan's voice trembled as he agreed, then slowly walked out of the crowd.
Everyone watched Zhao Yan's back as he left, filled with some unspeakable emotions - that was admiration.
The reception officers all remembered him. They could be certain this person would definitely become a good soldier.
But at the same time, some were also angry and helpless. They should have been the ones to stand out, not a new recruit.
But the criminals were too cunning and vigilant.
After the visibly trembling Zhao Yan walked off the platform, he disappeared from view with the police who went to fetch money.
After all, Zhou Hu still didn't realize the show crew's cameras were still rolling. They couldn't silly carry the cameras along to film Zhao Yan right?
