Chapter 10: The Riot at the Police Station
In fact, this method is also the one ultimately adopted by Dominic in the film, with the distinction that in the original plot, Hobbs provided assistance, especially with his vehicle, the Knight XV, which is practically a small tank navigating through the city
Bang
The power of the timed bomb is no less than that of Knight XV, as this thick wall was blown apart like tofu dregs
After nightfall, the police station, which housed one hundred million U.S. dollars, welcomed a special guest
Just a few seconds after Alina had walked away, Dominic and his group emerged one after another from the warehouse
Since they have decided to confront head-on, the two gay individuals no longer need to blow up the police station's drainage system. Their task is to create a sufficiently powerful timed bomb, which will ultimately be installed and detonated by Zhao Ze
Giselle and Han exchanged smiles, Brian and Mia embraced and kissed, the two gay men were again talking to each other in incomprehensible Spanish, the chatterbox Roman was grinning from ear to ear, and Dom, the leader, also wore a satisfied smile, but unlike in the original storyline, he did not look up at the sky.
Boom
Zhao Ze smiled broadly and said, "Could I have your phone number? I would like to invite you for a drink"
Bingo! Zhao Ze snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, just fly in!"
More importantly, with Zhao Ze directing from mid-air, Dominic and Brian are always able to break out of the encirclement before the police cars close in.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, this has nothing to do with him; even Han, who has mutual feelings for Gisele, does not express his stance, so Zhao Ze is even less likely to say anything further
Roman sarcastically remarked, "How do we get in? Fly in, perhaps?"
Zhao Ze smacked his lips, temporarily putting aside the small regrets in his heart, and got into the car with Dominic and others
Two speed demons recklessly charged forward, leaving all the pursuing police cars far behind. This was partly due to the suddenness of the operation, which caught the Rio police completely off guard. By the time the police station personnel reacted, the safe had already been dragged nearly 1,000 meters away.
Less than a few seconds after the first bomb exploded, three more bombs were detonated simultaneously
Hi
At the moment the safe was opened, seeing a cascade of banknotes resembling a small mountain, everyone involuntarily broke into smiles, each person revealing their genuine emotions to varying degrees

Looking at Alina's back, Zhao Ze found it somewhat incomprehensible, wondering if "Sister Lei" had indeed set her sights on the type of rugged man that Dominic represented
Zhao Ze once again "predicted without divination" to everyone that Reyes would definitely deposit all the money in the police station, and he also proposed an extremely crazy idea, which was to resort to forceful seizure.
Alina rolled her eyes and said, half annoyed and half amused: "Can't you see that I'm on patrol? Besides... you are too young, I am not interested in children."
The lighter-shaped grenade from the world of "Kingsman" possesses astonishing power, flipping over the leading police car on the spot, while the two vehicles behind were unable to evade in time and crashed into it.
Upon learning that the warehouse had been robbed, resulting in a loss of over 10 million, Reyes, the underground ruler of Rio, was furious. On one hand, he urgently transferred cash from other warehouses; on the other hand, he also increased manpower, sparing no effort to search for Dominic and his gang.
However, it is evident that Taiji is overthinking; how could Zhao Ze possibly sell the aircraft for a mere ten million
Although it had shrunk, the power of this bomb still shattered the windows of the entire police station in an instant
... ...
As in the original plot, Han is responsible for obtaining Reyes's palm print. Giselle volunteers to accompany him, but Zhao Ze shakes his head, knowing that Giselle will most likely end up, just like in the movie, offering her backside to Reyes's hand.
Because all the police attention was drawn to the explosion upstairs, these two individuals encountered no obstacles along the way
A deafening explosion was heard as the first timed bomb on the roof of the police station detonated
In five minutes
The first operation proceeded so smoothly that it indirectly influenced the subsequent planning arrangements
During this period, Reyes had not yet inquired about Dominic's whereabouts, so the police station was not as heavily guarded as depicted in the movies, with checkpoints every three steps and sentries every five steps, which provided Zhao Ze with a good opportunity to infiltrate
"Chris, what are you looking at? Hurry up!" Brian noticed Zhao Ze standing there "in a daze," and stepped forward to pull him.
Descending from the rooftop, the top three floors were completely empty. Zhao Ze had installed a timed bomb on each floor, and then he opened the window and flew out, circumventing the police-guarded platform on the second floor, landing behind the blind spot of the surveillance camera at the entrance of the garage on the first floor
Taking advantage of the chaos among the police, Zhao Ze swaggered into the underground parking garage, approached the wall where the evidence room was located, installed four timed explosives on the wall, and then retreated far away
In less than half a minute, Dominic and Brian drove two police cars into the garage
With the assistance of the aircraft, Zhao Ze directly landed on the rooftop of the police station building and installed a palm-sized timing device in the passage leading downstairs
Once everything was ready, Zhao Ze revealed his powerful weapon—the personal flying device—before everyone for the first time
Dominic, Brian, Roman, and Vince were responsible for finding a car. However, due to Zhao Ze's reminder, Dominic abandoned the flashy but impractical modified cars and directly went to the parking lot to steal four police cars
At present, Hobbes is still unaware of which corner he is hiding in. Zhao Ze's suggestion is for him to infiltrate the police station at night, first eliminating all obstacles, then using explosive methods to blow up the wall of the evidence room, and finally "take away" the safe
The entire city of Rio is filled with the sound of police sirens. Although it is now nighttime, the activity within Rio is actually greater than during the day. However, there is an advantage to the night: the roads are clearer, there are fewer cars, which is more conducive to the movements of Dominic and Brian
Due to the explosion occurring so suddenly, dozens of police officers were completely unaware of the true intentions of the perpetrators, and no one would associate this series of explosions with Reyes's vault
However...
This small object may seem unremarkable, but according to the duo's assertion, its maximum power is capable of collapsing half a police station, so what is entrusted to Zhao Ze is essentially a diluted version.
Taiji is responsible for handling the safe
Certainly, the original plot made this choice primarily to make the film more exciting and thrilling, while Zhao Ze's suggestion to take action during the quiet of the night is a reasonable and sensible choice
Let it be so! Dominick made a decisive decision and immediately established this plan, followed by the specific task assignments
In order to stop the pursuit of the police car, and to have these two individuals drag the safe back to the station, Zhao Ze devised another scheme.
Is there something going on
Seeing Dominic and Brian dragging the safe out of the police station, Zhao Ze began to follow them closely. In addition to informing the two about the road conditions, he also reported the locations of the police cars coming to provide support from other blocks.
Alina shook her head and said, "Hurry up and move aside, do not disturb my work." With that, she bypassed Zhao Ze.
The five pursuing vehicles were blown to pieces, causing the police cars from other directions to hesitate and refrain from continuing the chase after receiving the news
Dominic and Brian both realized it at the same time; they were the only two who had seen the aircraft, and instantly understood Zhao Ze's meaning
Upon seeing the satisfactory effect, Zhao Ze simply took out the remaining four grenades and threw them above the heads of the police cars that were approaching from four different directions.
"Who said I want to enter through the front door?" Zhao Ze interrupted Roman's rambling, glancing at Dominic and Brian, "What if we could go straight in? Appearing in the garage without going through the main entrance!"
"It's done, hurry over!" Zhao Ze signaled to Dominic and others waiting outside the police station by taking out the walkie-talkie
Zhao Ze still smiled brightly, "I just look young; in fact, I am already 25 years old. Asians are like this. Given my sincerity, I beg you."
He looked at several police cars chasing from hundreds of meters away, took out a lighter grenade from his pocket, and threw it down forcefully just as the police cars were about to pass beneath him
What a joke! Reyes is already on guard, and the police station has increased its personnel. Even at night, don't think you can just walk in through the front door...
Choosing to storm the police station in broad daylight in the film is undoubtedly a very poor decision. Not only will this attract more police, but the reckless behavior in the urban area of Rio will certainly lead to some unnecessary collateral damage
Everyone is venting their emotions, except for one person
Vince, whose fate was changed by Zhao Ze and who survived, is now at a loss for how to feel.
The entire pursuit ended in such a haphazard manner, which even Zhao Ze found quite surprising
Zhao Ze shrugged his shoulders, not feeling particularly dejected; after all, he would still interact with many more female characters from various movie worlds in the future, and losing one Alina was not a significant matter
This item, as expected, sparked the interest of everyone, especially the skilled electrician Taiji, who was eager to exchange his own earnings for it
If that is the case, then it is essentially impossible for him to win Elena's favor
One hour later, all team members gathered in an abandoned factory, witnessing Taiji open the safe using Gisele's little pair of shorts.
Looking at the Asian boy standing in front of her who took the initiative to greet her, Alina felt utterly confused
After verifying the cash storage points, Dominic convened everyone to discuss the proposal put forward by Zhao Ze.
With Zhao Ze in the sky monitoring the movements of police cars throughout the city of Rio, this is far more efficient than Mia's computer surveillance
If it were not for this car leading the way, crashing through the concrete barriers and load-bearing walls, Dominic and Brian would never have been able to storm into the police station and drag away the safe
The police station was in an uproar during the night shift, with officers even believing it to be a gang riot, as they scurried about like headless flies.
Due to the lack of experience with the setbacks in the original storyline, most team members are not optimistic about Zhao Ze's suggestions, especially the talkative man Roman, who believes this is a manifestation of suicidal tendencies
Zhao Ze did not have time to engage in pleasantries with them, as he had other tasks to attend to. After exchanging a brief glance with Dominic, he soared out of the underground parking garage, heading straight for the sky.
