Lin Beichen: "..."
Lin Beichen: "What I mean is I haven’t shopped around other places either, so I don’t know what specialties are here. I’ll go to a specialty supermarket and take some photos. You can pick what you like later."
Han Yuan: "You should’ve said so earlier. Look, we just had a misunderstanding. Embarrassed.JPG."
Lin Beichen: "..."
After sending a bunch of ellipses, Lin Beichen stopped looking at the group chat. Only Han Yuan was still talking, and he felt that he couldn’t keep chatting with him.
He might break down.
He quickly tidied up, took his phone, and left the hotel. After some inquiries, he finally found a specialty supermarket.
This specialty supermarket was quite large, though it only had one floor, but it was at least two hundred square meters in size, and the goods inside were varied and plentiful.
Not only specialties but also all sorts of souvenirs.
"Maybe buy some grilled fish slices and squid jerky to take back, but it feels like you can buy these online too. It’d be strange to buy them as specialties."
"Wow, these shell carvings are so beautiful."
"..."
The sound of conversations came one after another.
There were quite a few people shopping in the supermarket at this time, at least a dozen people at a glance.
Lin Beichen wandered around aimlessly.
Just as he took out his phone to take photos.
Suddenly!
Amidst a flurry of hurried and chaotic footsteps, five people rushed in from outside.
The combination of these five people looked peculiar at first glance.
Some were dressed in suits, others in ragged clothes, and some looked like they were on vacation.
Moreover...
No matter who it was.
There wasn’t a single smile on their faces, giving off a violent and uneasy vibe.
The owner at the counter noticed something unusual about them and proactively asked, "Are you here to buy..."
"Shut up!"
Without any superfluous words, the only man in a suit among them shouted, cutting him off directly.
At the same time.
Not only him, but the other four also pulled out guns directly.
"Everyone, put your hands on your heads and get together!"
"Get together!"
"Don’t think about running, or I won’t be responsible for what the bullets do!"
"Hurry up!"
"..."
The five waved their guns at everyone in the supermarket, signaling them to do as they said, while their eyes occasionally darted outside.
"???"
For a moment, everyone in the supermarket looked bewildered.
Is this a movie shoot?
Or...
A prank?
They found it hard to believe that the guns in the five people’s hands were real.
You have to know...
This is Great Xia, not the free-for-all Atlantis.
Just then.
The faint sound of police sirens could be heard.
Getting closer from afar.
The sound growing louder!
"Wee-woo~ wee-woo~ wee-woo~!!"
Hearing that, the expressions on the faces of the five gunmen changed noticeably, becoming more violent, more vicious, and more solemn.
Seeing the people in the supermarket frozen as if paralyzed, completely ignoring their orders.
The suited man’s eyes narrowed, and he pulled the trigger.
"Bang——!"
The loud gunshot made everyone in the supermarket shudder, instantly waking them from their daze, looking at the five with guns in panic.
This... is a real gun!
This is not a movie shoot, nor a prank!
Police sirens, gunshots...
The combination of these sounds erased any doubts about the authenticity of the guns in the five’s hands.
Lin Beichen was dumbfounded. He just came out to buy some specialties, how did he end up in this?
He didn’t understand...
What kind of people are these armed guys?
If they have these resources, why not rob a bank directly!
Why come to a supermarket?
Using five guns...
Just to rob some local specialties??
"Ah!!!"
"Ah!"
"..."
Ordinary people had never seen such a scene, only seen it in movies. The timid and weak-hearted immediately screamed in fear.
The suited man swept his gun around without firing a second shot, and the screaming people shut their mouths.
"..."
The screams abruptly stopped.
The supermarket became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
This is the deterrence of a gun!
The suited man then shouted: "Get moving!!!"
After yelling, he gave a fellow accomplice a look.
The accomplice understood and immediately took action.
"Crash——!"
The rolling door of the entrance was pulled down by one of them. Then, he began to move quickly around the supermarket.
At the same time.
The remaining three and the suited man spread out to four different positions, pointing their guns from different directions at the people being herded together in the supermarket, closing in on them.
Lin Beichen blended in with the crowd, not making any rash moves.
Not to mention that the current situation was not the right time to act.
Just talking about these five people...
What do they intend to do, do they have other weapons, and so on, he knew nothing about. Acting rashly would only hurt both himself and others.
"Better observe and wait."
Lin Beichen followed the crowd and squatted in an open area of the supermarket.
Three guns hung over their heads.
At this moment, the man who had been moving around the supermarket came to the suited man’s side and reported: "Team leader, I’ve checked the supermarket. Other than the main door, there’s only a small back door, which I’ve sealed and blocked. The windows and other stuff have also been reinforced."
"Good."
The suited man nodded, satisfied: "With you doing this, I’m assured, C."
Before he finished speaking.
With a screeching halt, police sirens wailed outside the door.
Immediately.
A powerful and authoritative voice spoke through a megaphone: "Listen up, spies inside. You are surrounded. Do not resist in vain. Surrendering is your only and best option!"
Yes, these five people are spies.
They are a team.
The suited man, the team leader, had been covertly extracting critical intelligence while planted within a government department, but he inadvertently exposed himself, which was detected by the agency and secretly reported to the police.
The police followed the clue, identifying the entire spy team’s members.
And...
Taking the opportunity of today, the twelfth of every month, the day the spy team all met.
They launched a capture operation!
Unexpectedly, the spies resisted fiercely.
These five spies even seized the moment to escape.
The police chased, they fled.
Seeing no way out...
In desperation, they could only act as trapped rats, holding the entire supermarket hostage to bargain with the police.
Trying to find a way out!
