Olivia was blocked inside the house. Fortunately, the house was big enough so the terrorists wouldn't be able to find it for a while, giving him a buffer time.
Olivia ran to the bathroom alone and opened the backpack she took out of the safe.
He took out a lot of information from inside, lit each one with a lighter and threw it into the toilet. After the flame was completely ignited, he took out a wad of US dollars.
Just like that, piles of hundred-dollar bills were thrown into the pile of documents and burned.
Long Zhan just watched without making any move.
If it were a few years ago, Long Zhan would definitely find a way to keep the money, but now he doesn't like it. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are really not enough for him to take risks.
Olivia burned money very quickly, throwing the entire bag in and burning it.
Even the mobile phone was thrown in and only the card was taken out.
"What are you doing?"
Albright suddenly burst in, frowning as he looked at the burning thing in the toilet.
"This is a secret, you shouldn't come here to see it." Olivia said expressionlessly.
"I asked you what you were doing, Olivia." Albright raised his voice.
"I said this was confidential. If I tell you even half a sentence, you may be subject to a military court trial. If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, just shut up." Olivia said coldly.
"Hey."
Albright was very dissatisfied with Olivia's reaction and raised his tone again and asked: "Ski is dead, Gani is dead, Mohammed is dead, do you really think I will still care about the warlord trial now?
Tell me how much money you have? This was taken from the ambassador's lockbox. How could there be so much money in his lockbox?"
"You don't need to know how much it is, it has nothing to do with you." Olivia remained tight-lipped.
"That's the ambassador's magic to win people's hearts. Money can make all the difference. In places we don't know, he uses the money to do shady things, right?" Albright said sarcastically.
"Ambassador Cahill is a good man, Evan. He was asked to come here to stabilize the situation. He has no obligation to refuse and has done a good job." Olivia argued.
"Yes, because now this is a kingdom, he can live a leisurely and happy life, right?" Albright thought hard and didn't want to let go.
"Democracy is a big machine. The machine needs electricity. This money can ensure the operation of the machine, enthusiasm, dignity, hope and money. That's it." Olivia said.
"Then you just burn the money?" Albright asked.
"We have no choice. If the evidence leaks out, our integrity in this area will be ruined." Olivia explained.
"A thief has no integrity."
Albright is really good at scolding others and scolding himself as well.
"I don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, because everything here is not black and white. This world is about to end. We know better than most people that if we don't pay attention to it, the world will be finished." Olivia said.
"Oh my god, you're a damn spy," Albright said.
"I am a pragmatic person. I am loyal to my country, not my beliefs, nor my moral bottom line. I know how to do things."
Olivia finally yelled at Albright, threw the empty bag into the toilet, turned around and walked outside.
When he went out, he greeted Long Zhan and said, "Okay, we can go."
…
safe room.
Ganni was beaten to death by the enemy on the roof. The surviving Peroz did not dare to fight and rushed down from the roof again as if he was being chased by a ghost.
He reopened the door and entered the safe room. He panted from exhaustion and said, "They are all outside. I almost didn't come back."
As he spoke, he smelled the pungent smell in the safe room and asked doubtfully: "Is the tobacco coming from the roof?"
"Yes, we are doing our best to find ways to slow down the smoke."
Dave said as he looked towards the ventilation duct, where he could see Blake and several others lying on the table, using their clothes to block the gaps in the buttons of the ventilation duct.
Unfortunately it's not very effective.
The explosion above should have caused a fire, and the smoke was quickly entering each room, carried by the wind in the ventilation ducts.
But there was nothing they could do, so they could only hold on in the safe room until reinforcements arrived.
"Peroz, what's going on with you?" Albright asked on the radio at this time.
"I'm back in the safe room," Peroz replied.
"Is everything okay in the safe room? How is everyone?" Albright asked.
"We are safe for the time being, but the building on the roof is on fire, and a lot of smoke is spreading to the safe room. It's almost hard to breathe here," Peroz replied.
"The Army Special Forces will arrive in twenty minutes. Can you still hold on?" Albright asked.
"twenty minutes??"
Blake, who was already pessimistic, said in panic: "I knew that riding horses here would be a replica of Benghazi, or even worse. Everyone would definitely die from asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation."
Black continued to release negative remarks, and Ambassador Cahill finally couldn't stand it anymore.
She stared at him impatiently and said, "Can you shut your mouth? We still have hope. We haven't reached the most desperate stage yet."
"If I could get out of here, I wouldn't smoke again if I were killed," the black Marine complained.
"We can't come over for the time being, so you can only find a way to solve it yourself." Albright said.
"You know we are outnumbered, and we still have to protect so many people." Dave said unhappily.
"Why don't we wait for the reinforcements to arrive? We don't have to sit there and wait to die. Let's all leave here. Only by leaving here can we survive," Albright said.
"There are terrorists everywhere, how to leave?" Dave asked.
"We can sneak out the back door," Albright said.
"Hey, listen, listen to what the boss thinks. This is really a good idea. There are people at the back door, all with machine guns, waiting to shoot at us." Dave mocked mercilessly.
Dave was originally dissatisfied with Ambassador Cahill and arranged for newcomer Albright to be the temporary commander.
Now that he had a good opportunity to refute, how could Dave let it go so easily? He threw all kinds of sarcastic remarks at Albright crazily.
"Can you guys find a way to the back door?"
Albright was not irritated and still asked patiently.
"How is it possible? We are not Captain America." Dave refused.
"Although I hate to say this, I think you are right. They are surrounding this place heavily. Perhaps the safest option is the Taipei Gate on the northeast side." Perez said in support of Albright.
