Chapter 503: Make More Preparations
“There are 20 hostages. Group C is on standby.” K7’s cold voice sounded from the earpieces.
Group B consisted of V8. Group C consisted of K7. These two teams had successfully disguised themselves as members of the al-Qaeda group and took over the mission of watching over the hostages.
They just needed to wait for Ye Jian’s news now. As long as the petrol was no longer a danger, the second plan would move smoothly. They would ensure the safety of the first batch of hostages being freed.
“Group A is on standby. Group B, what’s the situation?” Xia Jinyuan was in Group A. Once everything was ready, he spoke in his earpiece softly. G3 and he were hidden on the bus. They had to wait for the Pakistan army to finish their preparation before reinforcing them to wipe out their opponents.
V8 leaned close to the door. After a few seconds, he said, “No reply. There are soft noises coming from the room. Ye Jian is very cautious. She might act a little slower.”
Xia Jinyuan smiled. Let’s wait a while longer then. Little Fox would have a plan.
“Pa.s.s the three milk bottles to me.” The last barrel of petrol was almost empty. Ye Jian asked Betty to pa.s.s her the milk bottles. “After the barrel is filled with water, pour the petrol in the bottles along the rim to prevent them from smelling the difference.”
The three milk bottles were filled with petrol. Ye Jian carefully opened the bottles while asking Betty to continue pouring the remaining petrol out of the barrier. Then, she touched the barrier that was bring filled with water. “This is done. Change it to the next one.”
To prevent any accidents from happening, Ye Jian filled up the empty barrels with water to ensure that their weight was the same.
Ye Jian had undergone professional training. Hence, her plan was perfect. After the barrels were filled with water, she poured the petrol around the rim. As expected, the air was filled with the strong smell of petrol again.
Time pa.s.sed slowly. It was almost 10 pm. Both armies had finished their preparations. Everyone was on standby.
At night, the city wasn’t lit up like the cities in China. Here, everyone rushed to go home before the sky turned dark. If they stayed outside, they might be killed.
At 9.50 pm, Pabel finally received a call from Chetivorokov. He was calling from the airport. He laughed and told the lady who saved him that his aircraft had reached the airport.
As agreed, they would release the first batch of hostages, who were the workers of the welfare center. To Pabel, adults were harder to control. Leaving them behind was troublesome for her.
“Chase them out of the welfare center. I want to go out to see if the government has sent anyone here.” Pabel was cautious. She used this chance to survey her surroundings. Once she noticed any army people, she would shoot her gun as a warning.
At 10 pm, the first batch of hostages left the place. They were chased out of the welfare center by the members of the al-Qaeda group.
The hostages ran away from the welfare center at the fastest speed possible. It was very quiet outside. Besides the cries of the hostages, there was no one else in sight.
The members of the al-Qaeda group reported their findings to Pabel. “It’s quiet outside. There’s no sign of the army. Madam, it seems like they didn’t send anyone to surround us.”
