If the people in the restaurant were still watching the excitement before, but when gunshots were also heard from the hotel, these people began to be afraid.
Things are like this. If the fire doesn't burn you, you won't know how hot it is.
Mukesh Abani was a little nervous. He was really worried that Umbrella was responsible for this matter.
He immediately asked for all the bodyguards he had arranged to ensure his safety.
By this time, the entire hotel was in chaos.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm and trust our hotel security personnel."
The hotel manager stood up at this time and tried his best to comfort everyone.
He knew very well that if something happened to the hundred or so people in the banquet hall, even the Tata Group, the boss behind the scenes, would not be able to protect them.
His words still worked, and a large number of people sat down again.
However, some people still ran out of the banquet hall despite the dissuasion of the service staff.
By this time, Curtis had returned, "Boss, we're sorry, a group of armed men have occupied the lobby on the first floor and are now searching the hotel. Many guests and staff have been killed."
They didn't avoid others when they spoke, so this sentence immediately caused a stir in the banquet hall.
"Impossible, my security team is all down there, they are the best in India..."
A guy with a height of six feet and a waist of eight feet jumped over. Before he could finish his words, Xu Chuan kicked him out of the banquet hall door.
"Then go find your excellent security team."
Xu Chuan is not related to this man, so go to hell with him.
The scene was completely chaotic. No matter what the hotel manager said, these people no longer listened to him.
Many people ran out of the banquet hall, some ran downstairs, and some ran to their rooms.
Within two minutes, nearly half of the people were gone.
The other half are mostly people related to the host of this banquet, Mukesh Abani.
Mukosh has also received reports from his own men that the attackers were more like extremists and should have nothing to do with Umbrella.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow our hotel staff to the top floor. The VIP club there is the most secret place in the hotel. These people will definitely not be able to find it."
The hotel manager has already thought of a way. At this time, we can no longer wait here.
This is located on the third floor. If it is true as the black man said just now, the attackers will probably arrive soon.
At this time, the gunfire outside suddenly became intensive, and mixed with the gunfire were countless piercing screams.
Apparently, the guests who ran downstairs were met by the attackers.
"Quick, come with us."
A hotel restaurant waiter with a turban on his head was organizing everyone to go outside.
But Xu Chuan didn't move. He knew where the VIP club was.
The location is indeed secretive, and only hotel VIPs can enter. In addition to the bar, those who like to play a few games can also indulge their gambling addiction there.
There are no windows in the club. Apart from the main entrance, there is only a staff passage that can be opened with a password. Staff who are not hotel staff may not know the existence of this passage.
However, Xu Chuan feels that the risk is still very high. If someone is blocked inside, there is no chance of jumping off the building.
Moreover, passive hiding is not the best plan. It has never been Xu Chuan's character to sit back and wait for death. Even if he is hiding, he must take the initiative in his own hands.
"Have you brought any guys with you?"
Xu Chuan asked Curtis.
The other party nodded, but his face looked a little ugly, "We only brought pistols."
They were just here to track down an unknown weapons expert, so of course they couldn't bring any heavy equipment.
Okay, let's pretend he didn't ask this question.
Xu Chuan reached out and took Curtis' Glock 17, "You go find that idiot Scott, I'm going to the monitoring room now."
"Boss, you want to go by yourself?" Of course Curtis was a little worried. The surveillance was on the second floor, and the attackers must have been searching for people there.
Xu Chuan just rolled his eyes, nonsense, what can he do? Scott, that idiot who thinks with his lower body, doesn’t know which woman he is with now.
At this time, Xu Chuan made a mistake because he did not know that these attackers were the previous cricket team.
Now it is not just the first and second floors that are under attack, the other attackers have dispersed to other floors and are looking for people from room to room.
Seeing Xu Chuan holding a gun and about to leave, the hotel manager was almost crying, "Sir, please believe us, the club is really safe, I can use the staff passage..."
God, save him!
Of course Xu Chuan ignored the other person, even though he really meant well.
Then he pointed to the guy who was talking to him before and said to Curtis, "This is Xiao Ai's person. Try to save his life."
Curtis nodded, then looked at Gordesky from NV Investment, "Follow me and try not to stay away."
The other party actually sneered, "When I was fighting in Afghanistan, you were still wearing crotchless pants."
Tsk, this guy doesn’t know Balalaika from the Moscow Hotel.
Curtis just shrugged with Xu Chuan, saying that he didn't blame him.
Okay, you do whatever you want.
The time was short, but the gunshots outside were already very close.
Everyone knew that they could not delay any longer, and the remaining guests followed the waiter to the employee aisle in a panic.
Xu Chuan went out and walked in another direction. Of course he didn't dare to take the elevator. He checked the Glock 17 in the stairwell and then loaded the bullet.
His back was pressed against the wall of the stairwell, his pistol pointed at the stairs below, and after making sure there was no one around the corner, he immediately rushed over.
This was not the time to go down one step at a time. He was alone and had to make a trade-off between safety and speed.
He had already walked around the entire building in the afternoon. Although he couldn't say that all the structures were in his mind, he still remembered most of the important nodes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The control room is on the southwest side of the second floor, which is considered the office area. Not only is the control room, but also the hotel manager's office and the employees' rest area.
Xu Chuan hid at the corner of the stairwell, looked through the glass window on the door, and then gently opened the door and entered the corridor.
There were cries and occasional gunshots from the other end of the corridor.
Xu Chuan ignored it. He knew that he couldn't do anything at this time. He had to save his life first before he could have a chance to do anything else.
Hold the gun in front of your chest with your right hand, then bend your waist and move forward. Take two or three steps before looking back behind you.
Fortunately, the corridor is not too long.
The monitoring room is at the innermost part of the office area. It is two small rooms set up with partitions. One is the monitor for the security guard, and the other is used to place the monitoring server.
Xu Chuan has been here before, so he found the target location with familiarity.
"wipe……"
He stood outside the door and could smell the blood inside through the door.
I carefully pushed the door open a gap, and then carefully checked it from top to bottom to rule out the possibility of a booby trap.
After confirming that there was no problem, he pushed the door open enough for one person to get in, quickly stepped in and locked the door.
There were two corpses in security uniforms in the room, and all the monitors in front of them were destroyed.
"MD..."
Xu Chuan cursed and then opened the door of the cubicle next to him.
The server inside is still running in the cabinet.
This is thanks to the fact that these attackers have no formal education.
However, without a monitor, he couldn't check the current situation in the hotel.
So he immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Birkhoff's number.
Due to the time difference, it is almost twelve o'clock in the morning in Morocco.
Fortunately, Birkhoff, a night owl, never goes to bed so early.
"Bell, I just entered the bedroom with a girlfriend that I'm very friendly with, so you better really have something important to do."
Xu Chuan looked nonchalant, "Can you please stop imitating me? I'm just asking you to get up and pee. What do you do?"
Birkhoff was almost furious when he was woken up from his girlfriend's bed.
This bastard is definitely in a hurry, but this guy actually chose to fight against himself.
"Okay, man, what happened?"
Birkhoff was very helpless. He knew very well the character of the guy on the other side of the phone. This guy could really talk to him these boring words all night long.
So he might as well take the initiative and ask what happened.
Young Master Xu looked like a winner, "Ha, did you know, Mumbai was attacked by a group of terrorists who came out of nowhere."
"Now these people are carrying out massacres in the hotel where I am staying."
Birkhoff on the other side of the phone didn't speak for a while, "Hey, isn't it a little abnormal that you are so excited right now?"
Xu Chuan scratched his head, "Is there any?"
Well, apart from being with a few girls during these days, he was really bored the rest of the time.
There was such a big mess, and he was really excited.
Wait a minute, he can't be too conspicuous in the future, it doesn't match his current personality.
“Are you at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai?”
Birkhoff had already turned on his computer and immediately found the location of the Xuchuan tactical terminal.
"That's right, I don't know who they are yet. I'm in the control room. These people destroyed all the monitors, but the server is intact."
"OK, OK, let me take a look."
After explaining the situation, Xu Chuan immediately hung up the phone. He didn't know how long this matter would last. It would be troublesome if the phone ran out of battery.
This kind of hotel's simple firewall is of no use to Birkhoff.
He immediately connected to Umbrella's supercomputer and used its powerful computing power to brute force the hotel's firewall.
Ten minutes later, Xu Chuan received the news that the monitoring server was intact and Umbrella's technical department had received the image.
Not only that, Umbrella has set up a crisis team and plans to do its best to fish out her boss.
"It's not urgent. I don't have any friendship with Indians."
Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied, "Follow the formal channels and apply for armed rescue with the Mumbai authorities."
"Hey, man, do you know how efficient the Indians are, they can put this thing off until next year."
Birkhoff was a little confused about the other party's brain circuit.
"It doesn't matter. As long as there is no problem with the monitoring, I can avoid them at any time."
Xu Chuan doesn't care much about the life and death of these Indians, and there is also the president of Reliance Group here.
He wanted to see if the Indians could be particularly efficient under such circumstances. There were not many opportunities for such social experiments.
"Okay, I'll transmit the surveillance footage to your terminal, but I say you really need to let Fiennes and the others follow you every step of the way."
"We'll talk about it later."
Xu Chuan opened the terminal and ran a small program. Umbrella had already transmitted the surveillance footage through satellite signals.
The video is compressed so it's not very clear, but it's definitely enough.
Then he locked the room where the server was kept and broke the door handle.
Not only that, he also pulled the iron cabinet in the house and blocked the door.
In this way, even if someone discovers that the monitoring system is still running, it will still take a lot of effort to find the running server.
Then Xu Chuan walked out of the control room and returned to the corridor. In these short twenty minutes, the hotel was completely in chaos.
Xu Chuan was startled by the sound of gunfire from the upper floors, and he immediately realized that his initial belief that the attackers came from outside was wrong.
He took out the terminal again and looked at the screen above carefully.
When two attackers carrying AK rifles appeared in the camera, Xu Chuan finally saw that they were members of the afternoon cricket team.
MD, if he hadn't met Mukesh, he would have gone to find out the other person's details.
But it’s hard to tell. If the other party pulls out a gun and shoots without respecting martial ethics, he will be in trouble.
These people knocked on some locked doors, then broke in and killed people, but the interesting thing is that they only killed men, while the women were dragged to the lobby on the first floor by these people.
And they appear to have checked the women's passports.
Xu Chuan squatted in the stairwell and held his chin. These people seemed to be looking for someone, and it was probably a woman.
This is a little strange...
Xu Chuan was a little confused. Of course he had heard of the KB attack in Mumbai in his previous life, but that was only a few years ago.
Several years have passed since the time point in this life, and he originally thought it would never happen again.
But the situation now seems to be different from that in the previous life.
What are they looking for?
There was a noise in the stairwell, and Xu Chuan stood up immediately. He really didn't have time to think about this at this time.
He carefully poked his head down and saw a hotel guest in a suit and a hotel waiter running up.
Xu Chuan thought for a while, and finally took two steps down and stopped them.
Facing the gun in Xu Chuan's hand, the two people, who were obviously frightened, almost rolled down the stairs.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
The two people collapsed on the stairs and begged Xu Chuan for mercy. They both spoke English, but the waiter's accent was really hard to explain.
Xu Chuan lowered the muzzle of his gun, "Okay, I'm not one of those attackers. How did you come up here?"
At this time, the hotel guest in a suit seemed to recognize Xu Chuan, "Ah, are you Mr. Grylls?"
