Chapter 15 Blooming Blood Rose
This is also the effect Zhang Cheng needs. If someone dares to touch this vine, it will entangle the person and slowly strangle it bit by bit.
After the bandits below continued to use the elevator to prepare to go upstairs, the elevator began to descend again, Zhang Cheng looked at the vines at the elevator door that had been pulled in by four entangled bandits.
At the beginning, those vines were able to grow wildly in a short period of time by the vitality of all things imported from Zhang Cheng. However, this growth is not infinite. As a plant, it grows for survival and reproduction. It needs to find a suitable breeding ground that can provide a large amount of nutrients to absorb nutrients and blossom and bear fruit and reproduce. Without nutrient soil and water, the animal's body is obviously a good choice.
These vines were a kind of mutant rose cultivated by Zhang Cheng in his previous life in decades. They were called murderous vines by some people who died of mutant roses in unknown ways.
Only Zhang Cheng knew that it was not that scary. It was true that he could kill people, but the ones who were killed were either some stupid thieves or some stupid enemies.
The spikes of this murderous vine are indeed weakly toxic, but as a plant, its properties that are easily killed by high temperatures or frozen cannot be changed. Therefore, in Zhang Cheng's previous life, those who die on this are fools. Even if they are entangled by vines, they will not die as long as they cut off their arm as soon as possible. Of course, Zhang Cheng has never seen many such cruel people in his previous life. Most of the fools who get hit will be trapped in because of one hand, one foot, or even one partner.
The four bandits in the elevator during the descent had already ended their struggle. Although they had not died yet, they also lost the ability to speak and act. Because the struggle just now brought pain no less than Lingchi, the four bandits were already unconscious.
The mutant rosette used all his strength to replenish his nutrition through the holes in each spike while the four bandits were unconscious, while the large amount of blood loss deepened the coma of the four bandits.
When the bandits on the first floor opened the elevator door and prepared to go up to the higher floor to loot the hostages, the four bandits in front of the elevator door were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The four bandits who had just gone to the fourth floor were covered with dark green vines. The four of them were lying on the ground in various strange postures. The weapons were also entangled with them by rose vines. The vines on the four people were connected, but a blood-red rose flower bloomed on the vines directly above each person's body.
In this situation, this blooming red rose flower looks extremely strange.
A robber couldn't help but curse, "Fak, what is this? Killing Vine?"
"Who knows, are they dead?"
Seeing the four people in a daze at the elevator, someone shouted, "What are you guys going to work upstairs yet."
"Head, come and see."
A temporary robber's squad leader came over, and the four robbers at the elevator entrance made a little bit.
"Farke, hell."
The temporary team leader cursed, and originally wanted to use a knife to pick up a little vine to see if the entangled companion was dead or alive, but was stopped by a robber: "Captain, look at the knife in the hand of the man on the ground, I think he might have wanted to do the same thing as you..."
Having said that, a cold sweat broke out in the temporary team leader’s head, but it was still not enough to observe.
Putting away the knife, the temporary team leader drew a pistol, aimed it at the leg of a gangster who was entangled and fired twice. Blood splashed everywhere. When the entangled gangster was shot, he just moved and then returned to calm. The rose vines wrapped around him seemed to feel his blood loss. At the two wounds, vines immediately extended over to block the bleeding wound. Soon the vines stopped bleeding - blood was a precious source of nutrients and water for plants, and they could not be wasted.
But when he saw this scene, the temporary team leader and the four robbers all began to go to the church to pray and confess. The five of them thought they had encountered the Demon Flower from Hell.
The temporary team leader finally said: "The elevator is out. You four will go up the stairs and take a look."
The four bandits climbed up from the stairs and soon reached the corners of the third to fourth floors. When they looked up, they saw a dense devil vine. The four bandits were so numb that they dared not go up. They left two people watching from the corners of the third floor. The remaining two people went downstairs to report to the temporary team leader wearing gray hoods.
One of the prerequisites for joining this mysterious organization for a final attempt is to hand over all communication equipment - because these things are likely to be monitored by the Bureau of Homeland Security, and only a dozen temporary team leaders have wireless communication equipment to communicate with each other at a short distance after the operation begins.
After hearing that the stairs were blocked by the devil vine, the temporary team leader did not want to report the news, because this would only create internal panic, which would be harmful to the big thing he was going to do now.
The temporary team leader said, "Let those two people retreat. Since there is a devil vine, you don't have to go up. Fortunately, we already have enough hostages."
After a while, before the troops mobilized by the mayor and governor arrived, the government's anti-terrorism experts and negotiating experts arrived first, and the negotiating experts from afar began to talk to themselves and advise the robbers to calm down first.
Since the negotiations have begun, the robbers do not want to die here, and have also begun to make requests to the government's negotiating experts - to ask for planes or large passenger planes, and prepare three large passenger planes to send all personnel, including hostages, to Cuba (Cuba will never repatriate any American fugitives). Then the hostages will be released in Cuba and return by plane. Because there are a lot of people who want to take buses to the airport, 20 buses are needed.
Of course, this requirement is a big talk. You should know that the United States has stricter management of aircraft after 9/11. If these terrorists drove hostages and crashed into the Empire State Building, how could they break it?
Of course, this condition cannot be agreed, but the robbers became popular. The robbers believed that they had so many hostages in their hands, so the US government should agree to their conditions.
A temporary leader of a robber shouted: "Do you think we dare not kill hostages? Well, I also feel that there are too many hostages, and three large passenger planes and twenty buses are a little unavailable. From now on, before the buses to the airport drive to the door, we will kill one hostage in a minute until the number of people three large passenger planes can be taken is left."
The temporary leader of the robbers waved his hand, and the two robbers carried a tied casino security guard to the entrance of the casino. When they arrived at the entrance, the two robbers pushed the casino security guard out at the same time. After the security guard walked forward a few steps along the inertia, a gunshot sounded from behind. The casino security guard flew forward a few meters and then rolled down the steps, and was shot and killed not far from the casino.
This scene was recorded truthfully by reporters and broadcast live to the whole country. The US government was under great pressure when it saw the hostages dead. Negotiators were calling on all kinds of calls to the robbers to remain calm and not kill people anymore, otherwise the government might send troops to launch military strikes on them under pressure in order to rescue the hostages.
After the robbers killed people and decided to make their ambitions, they also took a step back and released more than 30 women, children and pregnant women, among the hostages, and shouted, changing the killing time to kill one in five minutes.
The US government is glad that it has both the child and the pregnant woman. Five minutes have arrived first. This time, a white lobby manager in his forties in the casino was tied up and pushed out of the hotel door with his hands tremblingly. He just took a few steps and fell to the ground and rolled down the steps.
The plane will never provide three large passenger planes. The anti-terrorism experts in the United States have discussed and come up with a plan to rescue hostages in a short period of time, but the modification of the bus will take some time. Negotiators fought for it again, and in the end, the robbers' temporary bosses felt that the time to kill the hostages was extended by one minute, and changed to kill one in six minutes.
For a while, another casino security guard and a dealer fell down the steps in front of the casino door.
