Chapter 882 882
Before she knew it, Meredith clenched her fists and held her breath again, which had become one of her most accustomed moves today, but she didn't notice it at all, because all her attention was focus on the big screen.
First, watching Jack knock down the sports car door without hesitation to avoid getting in the way, the theater was full of exclamations, and many male audience members who loved cars even screamed; then watching Jack drive the sports car and the bus into a On the horizontal line, moving in parallel at a constant speed, everyone in the theater began to swallow, and their throats began to smoke, and the air in the theater completely froze; and when they saw the passengers in the bus, they couldn't help but stand by the window. One of the tourists even took out a camera to take pictures, but there was no laughter in the theater. At this moment, all the audience felt that their hearts were about to explode at any moment. The tension in the theater even just needed a little friction. General detonation.
Finally, everyone saw Jack stand up, the raging wind turned his shirt into a sail, he swayed back and forth, jumped forward, and fell on the bus. "Oh..." There were exclamations from the whole theater, but when Jack's feet were dragged outside and rubbed against the ground, the screams of "Ah..." came one after another, and it was finally confirmed that Jack put his feet on the ground. When the feet were retracted, everyone's heart fell back to the chest.
When he saw the black man's sports car lose control and hit the buffer bucket next to the road, the scene actually burst into laughter. This is the effect of the sudden relaxation after extreme tension. At this time, the audience realizes that their palms are already soaked with sweat, and their palms that are only holding the armrests start to become stiff because of too much force.
Jack, who jumped on the bus, tried to control the situation, but apparently the passengers couldn't understand Jack's behavior at all. Anne, the lady who caught the bus at the last minute, came forward and argued with Jack that his behavior scared the passengers. . As a last resort, Jack still showed his police. He checked his identity and tried his best to appease the passengers, but he didn't want to, and before he revealed his identity, a young Latino suddenly jumped up and pointed a pistol at Jack.
The Latin man thought Jack was the policeman who came to arrest him. Police, obviously he made a mistake, but at this time Jack knew that he had no time to take care of the Latin man in front of him, and the bomb was the priority, so Jack put away the pistol and the police badge, and temporarily controlled it. The scene was chaotic, but a worker next to him jumped on it heroically. As a result, the Latin man's pistol went off and hit Sam in the shoulder, turning the scene into a complete disaster.
The audience, who had just relaxed in the theater, exclaimed again, as did the bus passengers.
An injured Sam caused the bus to spin out of control. In an emergency, Annie stepped forward to help. She felt that she should stop because Sam had to be treated. As a last resort, Jack announced the truth, "there is a bomb on the bus", which immediately made the passengers panic.
Annie had to take over the driver's seat. Jack was worried that Annie, who is an ordinary person, would not be able to do the job, but he didn't want Annie to joke that her driver's license had just been revoked because of speeding. .
At this moment, the Los Angeles police officially launched the rescue, and the city's TV station began to report on the incident. I didn't want them to become Payne's eyeliner, and could monitor the situation of Jack and the bus at any time, while he enjoyed the football game. The live broadcast, while monitoring through news reports, is very comfortable and ironic. But Jack and the others knew nothing about it.
Under Harry's guidance, Jack checked the bomb under the car and found a gold watch on the bomb - which means that Payne is likely to be a member of their police department, which also It means that the insider committed the crime.
A more serious problem followed. The city's terrible traffic was crowded with countless cars, either parking or opening a road. As a last resort, Annie drove the bus on the shoulder of the road and broke out abruptly. Roads, every fork in the road, every long traffic jam may cause the bus to slow down, thereby detonating the bomb, which will cause a disaster for the entire city.
All the audience, including Meredith, had no time to think. Their emotions seemed to be connected with the bus. Whenever Annie turned the steering wheel, there would be exclamations from the scene, lest the next second Something unexpected happens; every time a traffic jam is seen, the audience will scream like bus passengers, and when the speed slows down, terrible things will happen; every time they see a red light or a wrong-way passage, the audience will scream. You will feel that you can't help grasping the armrest of the chair, not only to worry about bombs, but also to worry about traffic accidents...
This powerful mental pressure turned the whole theater into a roller coaster, everyone's moods went up and down with the bus driving on the noisy city streets, no one can exception, no one can think, everyone Has become a member of the bus, surrounded by fear and nervousness.
Although Annie has repeatedly avoided danger, the problem still comes!
The police used helicopters to guide the direction of the bus in the sky. Every second, every turn, and every fork in the road was full of countless dangers, which made Annie and Jack feel a little bit in a hurry. In a stroller! Stroller!
"Boom", all the audience in the theater screamed with Annie and the passengers, and Meredith grabbed the objects around him indiscriminately, and then screamed, "Ah!"
It was Merlene Dixon who was sitting next to Meredith, and her emotions at this time were also extremely tense. When Meredith caught her like this, she couldn't help screaming. This kind of Emotions instantly ignited the entire theater, and many people exclaimed.
I saw that the stroller was knocked into the air in an instant, and many female audience members covered their eyes while screaming, lest they see a terrible scene of blood and blood, but soon, the male audience agreed with Jack to comfort him. Anne's lines, together persuaded the female companion beside him, "It's a tin can, it's a tin can!"
It turned out that all the cans of Coke in the stroller were false alarms. Meredith couldn't help but exclaimed like Annie, "Oh, my God, oh my God..." The same is true for Melalin, and so do many female audiences.
But before the audience could catch their breath, a group of children crossed the road. At the last moment of the turn, Annie changed the driving route and drove past the children. The exclamation of "ah" sounded in the theater. I didn't have time to fall; I saw a huge sharp turn ahead, basically a 90-degree turn. This sharp turn would cause the bus to roll over directly, and the screams of "ah" in the theater were cut off in an instant, and the whole scene was cut off. The theater fell into a dead silence.
Jack let all the passengers sit on the right side of the bus, and then Annie and Jack turned the steering wheel to the limit, the bus went through a sharp bend at an incredible angle, the tire on the right side of the bus was high, as if it would roll over at any time, watching The bus juggled around corners, and after a short but long drive, the tires finally landed smoothly.
"Oh!" The cheers of the passengers overlapped with the theater audience again. Everyone let out a long sigh, but the adrenaline in their heads had cut off all thoughts, as if they were also passengers on the bus. First line!
Meredith involuntarily just held Melalyn's hand and listened to Melalyn muttering there, "God, I can't take it anymore, God, God..." In fact, the thoughts in Meredith's mind were also The same, but she couldn't speak, not even a word, her brain became blank because of extreme tension, but her face was abnormally flushed because she was too excited.
"God, please Jack must save them!" This was Meredith's only thought at this time.
The bus smoothly entered a highway with no other vehicles, and the previous chaos didn't seem to happen again, which gave everyone precious time to relax. Jack and Annie finally had time for a brief exchange at this time, and the two got along very well. Very good, but Harry's plan to investigate Payne has reached a dead end, and he has to turn to the retired policeman. Check.
The Los Angeles police drove a long trailer and walked side by side with the bus. At this time, they had the ability to transfer passengers from the bus to the trailer, but Jack indicated that the media that broadcasted the live broadcast in the air was Payne's eyes, and Payne did not. Anyone is allowed to leave the bus.
Jack and Payne consulted so that the injured Sam could be transferred to a trailer. But looking at Sam leaving, the other passengers began to lose their balance. One of the gypsy women approached the bus door desperately and tried to jump on the trailer like Sam. No matter how much Jack and Annie tried to dissuade her, she would not listen, but At this moment, Payne detonated the bomb at the door of the car, and the gypsy woman fell instantly and was swept under the car.
"No, no!" Meredith, like Annie, kept murmuring to the gypsy women on the big screen, as if caught in a prayerful babble, only hoping that their dissuasion could become a substantial force Pull the women back. But unfortunately, they failed.
With a loud bang, the gypsy woman fell instantly. "Damn it!" Many audience members in the theater began to curse in rage. The plot just now seemed to have entered a gentle stage, but unexpectedly, a person died suddenly.
Meredith's ruddy face turned pale in an instant, and the threat of death came to his side so clearly as never before, looking at the lifeless corpse on the road, looking at the smug and treacherous Payne, looking at the sinking Shocked passengers and police. Investigators, a sense of absurdity came with a clear sense of fear. Before Meredith noticed, her eyes were wet, her breathing stopped again, and her heartbeat seemed to slow down thousands of times. Clear and audible.
Not only Meredith, but the bus also fell into silence and tension at this time, and the audience was even more angry and irritable, some people lost control and began to curse Payne, while others Like Meredith was shrouded in fear, the theater was like a frying pan, and everyone was suffering.
The death of the gypsy woman made the passengers in the bus out of control, some began to cry, others began to argue fiercely, and Annie, who was driving, was finally overwhelmed by the pressure, and the tears fell uncontrollably. , This chaos and collapse made the theater slowly fall into silence again, the threat of death was close at hand, and the adrenaline pierced directly into the heart made everyone on the verge of collapse.
But a more terrifying problem followed. There was no room for people to breathe at all. The police in charge of investigating the air came from the news that the highway was not completed, and there was a gap of fifty feet in front of the bus, and it was impossible for the bus to stop. It is impossible for passengers to get off, and it seems that leaping over is the only way out.
