Chapter 8, Robbery

The other party was clearly taken aback, and after a few seconds, they finally reacted, then hurriedly stood up and went to the corner of the wall to bring over a chair.

Well, it was actually not a grenade at all, but in the terrifying atmosphere created by the kidnapper's continuous gunfire, who had the presence of mind to check whether the object rolling towards them was a grenade or just a pepper shaker picked up from the street? Without a doubt, the instinct was to escape for their lives first and think about it later

The staff member completely did not understand why the robber was doing this, but she was also frightened by the earlier remarks and did not dare to hesitate, quickly complying... Soon, the bank's rolling shutter was lowered, and the windows were also barred with steel.

Forget it, let's talk about this later. Ziliang raised his hand and struck the guard in front of him with the butt of his gun, and the guard cooperatively fainted. Immediately after, he picked up the handgun that had slipped from the guard's grasp. Fortunately, the crowd had all huddled in the corner; otherwise, the gun might have ended up in the hands of some passerby.

Please help me close the door, as well as the iron bars on the window, said Ziliang

Do not think of those dangerous things, I do not want to kill, but the moment your arm is raised and the gun is still pointed at me, I will shoot without hesitation

This young lady ... ... '' He suddenly stopped in front of a bank teller and said: `` You know where the button for the anti-theft security door is, right ''

In summary, there is only one guard left now. At this moment, the person is still leaning against the service desk, muttering some curses, but it seems he has no intention of jumping out to act as a hero. After all, the alarm has already sounded, and his position is relatively safe. He also has a gun, and the robber is unlikely to be foolish enough to rush over and fight him. Everything will be addressed once the police arrive

At that moment, the guard was still in a state of combat awareness, so his first reaction was to see if he could engage in a shootout with the robber. However, the next second, Ziliang's words extinguished the burgeoning desire for battle like a splash of cold water.

What else can he do

At that moment, the guard was almost in tears, thinking to himself, was it really necessary to rob a bank? Of course, time did not allow him to complain any further; grenades were no laughing matter. Just a slight brush with one could result in losing an arm or a leg at the very least. Therefore, he immediately made a leap, darting out from behind cover, and then rolled and crawled desperately, trying to get as far away from the blast radius as possible

However, I must remind you that I do not want anyone to refuse me or to jump out as a superhero. You may not know this, but a long time ago, in this very city, there was someone who carried out a robbery quite similar to this situation. His method of dealing with hostages was... as long as someone disobeyed, he would open fire on all living beings in sight until he ran out of ammunition. " At this point, Ziliang deliberately paused for a few seconds, scanning the expressions on the faces of the hostages: "I do not wish for such a thing to happen, and I hope you can understand... Please help me bring a chair."

... ...

Ziliang sat on the office chair, rocking back and forth, and began to direct slowly and leisurely

However, this is Gotham after all. Although those super criminals have not appeared for many years, the local customs here still differ somewhat from those of other cities. If this gun were to fall into the hands of a passerby, even if she were a pregnant woman, there would be a significant possibility that she would immediately chamber a round and execute a standard three-round burst aimed at Ziliang.

In fact, if it were in another place, even if the gun fell into the hands of a bystander, it would not be a significant issue, because a person who has never used a gun essentially poses no threat. Most of them, when they have not even figured out which way to turn the safety, would be frightened into dropping the gun on the ground by a simple command of "Don't move." Even if they have watched numerous movies and know how to shoot, it does not matter... because as long as you see that they are "aiming" at you, you are basically safe, as for who will suffer... There is a good chance that it will be them.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, you may have noticed that I am a kind-hearted robber," Ziliang said. "Moreover, I do not want your money, not a single cent. Of course, I am not a madman; I am fully aware of what I am doing. So now, I ask for your cooperation. If all goes well, in just a couple of hours, you will be able to return home safely, and perhaps even receive an insurance compensation as a result."

However, fortunately, such an incident did not occur

Ziliang sat on the office chair, pushing the wheels underneath to slide back and forth

At this point, the entire bank was essentially under Ziliang's control. Only then did he roll up his sleeves and take down a mobile phone that had been tucked in his sleeve. The recording playback function had already stopped, and the gunshot heard earlier when he took out the lighter had originated from here

"Yes, you heard correctly. It is to lock us in here. Hurry up and go," Ziliang said with a hint of impatience.

One second later

Uh ... unexpected events have occurred again, as the grenade behind did not explode ...

Ah?

Ziliang squinted his eyes and then extended a hand, the meaning could not be more obvious, indicating for the other party to hand over the gun to him

The sound of wheels rolling

He spoke very clearly, without a hint of compromise, and did not give anyone a chance to think, because immediately after finishing that sentence, he began to count down

These two numbers are like a death warrant, the guard confirmed with utmost certainty that when the word "1" was spoken, his own head would meet a freshly fired bullet. Therefore, without a second thought, he immediately turned the gun around and handed it to the other party

It must be said that this is almost the wisest approach at this stage, but fate does not always align with human wishes, and before he could fully comprehend his well-laid plans.

... ...

He said it very casually, as if he were chatting with the neighbor next door, completely unconcerned about the guard who had already fainted on the ground due to pain

The nearest police station is just a few blocks away. If there is no traffic, they should be able to arrive within 5 minutes. Therefore, Ziliang felt relieved. If it weren't for the armed guard that still needed to be dealt with, he would have almost wanted to kiss the person who pressed the alarm.

Alright, this is very simple! Ziliang shouted: "I know it is not easy to survive in this city, so from now on, whatever I say, everyone will do. This way, no one will get hurt. Now, please, those wearing outer garments, take them off and hang them on the window railing. I do not want the police peeking at us from the window. Also... that young lady just now, could you help me find some rope, tape, and paper bags for money? It would be best to also bring a thicker pen, thank you."

However, it is too late to understand all this now, because at the moment the guard turned his head, he saw the dark muzzle of a gun, and a strong smell of gunpowder rushed into his nostrils, making his head buzz.

A grenade rolled straight towards us

He suddenly shouted at the guard.

The bank clerk nodded hesitantly

Thank you. After Ziliang nodded in acknowledgment, he also tucked the gun into his waistband
