The walkie-talkie between the two of them suddenly rang when they were crawling: "Can anyone hear me? I'm Dad George. Please reply if you hear me."
Owen was in a good mood when he heard Father George's voice. The two stopped and Owen picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Roger, I'm Owen, Father George. It's great to hear your voice."
"Thank God, I finally contacted you. Steve, you didn't just lie down in the hospital, why did you get inside?"
"I didn't want it either. All I can say is that it was an accident."
"Is it safe now?"
"Safe for now."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'm going to find the director. He wants to talk to you."
Father George ended the call and probably went to find someone. After a while, a strange male voice came over the intercom: "Officer Owen, this is Javier."
"Hello Director, my name is Steve Irwin."
Javier on the other end said: "Okay, so Owen, was it you who called the police? Why can't we contact you if we call again?"
"Yes, oh no, it was McClain who called the police. He is a New York policeman and he is right next to me. Later we were discovered and the phone was broken while we were escaping, so we couldn't contact us."
"New York police? Well, well, it's at least good news to hear that you are still alive. So, tell me what's going on inside."
"Okay, um... let me think about it... the leader of the robbers is called Hans. I don't know if his real name is, but at least that's what the other robbers call him. The robbers are all Caucasian and have different accents.
, generally wear camouflage combat uniforms, equipped with automatic weapons and body armor, are well-trained, and should have a military service background. In addition, the other party now has control of the building's surveillance."
When Javier on the other end of the phone heard the name Hans, he immediately gestured to the assistant beside him. The assistant immediately understood and turned around to verify the identity of Hans.
Owen cast a questioning look at McClain, meaning do you have anything else to add. McClain thought about it and shook his head.
Owen seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "The robbers have taken hostages. The specific number is unknown. It is estimated that there are about 50 people. The location may be on the 19th floor. At least they were still on the 19th floor when I escaped. Well...
…In addition, according to my estimation, their purpose should be the treasury.”
"Wait a minute, you said a vault. There is a vault in this building? What's in the vault?"
"Bearer bonds worth half a billion dollars."
Hearing Irving's words, everyone on the other end of the phone took a breath. Five hundred million dollars is too exaggerated. Javier couldn't help but asked again: "Are you sure? Five hundred million dollars?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Of course Owen was 100% sure, that's how it was played in the movie.
"But just now the robbers asked us to release the arrested Red Front terrorists... Oh, I understand, they really had a good plan, attacking in the east and attacking in the west, what a smoke bomb."
Javier said that he also reacted and slapped his thigh excitedly. However, seeing the large group of subordinates around him, he still suppressed his excitement.
"Okay, I've written it down. Is there anything else?"
"No, I only know this much." Owen shook his head, but McClain asked eagerly from the side: "Tell me how the hostages are doing? I want to know the casualties of the hostages. Are they still on the 19th floor?"
This guy still can't worry about his wife.
"No, the hostages are no longer on the 19th floor. Our snipers observed that the hostages are being held in the large conference room on the 46th floor. Currently, it is only confirmed that President Aoki is dead, and the others should still be alive."
After hearing Javier's words, McClane let out a long breath. Owen suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "By the way, tell the snipers to pay attention to identification and not to accidentally hurt us. Most of the enemies are wearing camouflage combat uniforms, and McClain and I are not."
, but the combat vests are the same as those of the robbers."
"Okay, I will let the SWAT people pay attention. In addition, I will open this channel to them and let them confirm with you before shooting."
"Okay, what's next...uh...I can't say anymore, someone is coming."
Owen's voice suddenly dropped, and he hung up the call without waiting for Javier's reply. The hearts of the people around him were also raised. There was obviously something going on on the other side, and Javier did not dare to call again. He could only wish them well.
transport.
In the elevator shaft, an elevator slowly rose. In order to avoid being heard, Owen turned off the communication as soon as he saw the elevator.
Looking down at the elevator below getting closer and closer, McClain calculated the speed of the elevator and counted down with his hands. When the count reached one, the two of them stepped forward together and climbed to the top of the elevator lightly.
...
In a news van outside the building, a male reporter waved his fist excitedly. The walkie-talkie in his hand coincidentally coincided with the frequency set by Irving, and all the conversations between Javier and Irving just now were recorded by him.
The device recorded it.
After putting down the headset, he immediately called his colleagues at the TV station to help him investigate all the information on the names mentioned on the intercom, Hans, Irving, and MacLean. He seemed to see the Pulitzer Prize waving to him.
...
The elevator still rose steadily, and there was no feeling that there were two more people on it. The two people at the top were holding on to the shelf and did not dare to move. It was dark outside and bright inside. Through the exhaust hole at the top of the elevator, you could clearly see the inside.
There were two robbers standing there. Both robbers had guns straddled, and there were stacks of long boxes on the luggage cart next to them.
The elevator went up higher and higher, with no intention of stopping. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the top of the building, the two of them were horrified. They were afraid that the elevator would go up and crush them into meat patties, but the speed was too fast at this time.
Can't jump anymore.
The two of them prayed in their hearts while staring at the top of the building. Finally, the elevator showed signs of slowing down.
"Ding", the elevator stopped, Owen and McClain were both bent over, and the metal limbs protruding from the roof were just tens of centimeters above their heads, which was dangerous and dangerous.
Owen looked inside through the ventilation hole. The 55th floor was already the top floor that the elevator could reach. The two robbers below were chatting while pushing the luggage cart out of the elevator.
The elevator door closed again, but because no one was using it, it stopped at the 55th floor.
He listened for a while with his ears raised until the sound disappeared. McClain signaled Owen to wait, and he opened the cover and jumped out. Opening the elevator door again, there was an open space similar to a warehouse outside. McClain looked around and saw no one.
