Chapter 108 - Team Leader's Sacrifice
Chapter 108: Team Leader’s Sacrifice
The middle-aged man was suppressed without any chance to react, but he was not angered by his plan being ruined. Instead, he roared with laughter. “You stupid police! Do you think I won’t be able to ignite the bomb after you throw the lighter away?”
The team leader was shocked. Suddenly, he heard a clear ticking sound coming from the middle-aged man.
He lifted the middle-aged man’s clothes and found a timer hiding behind him. This was a time bomb!
The timer showed that there were only ten seconds left.
The team leader looked around and realized that everyone was preparing to come over. He turned his head and shouted, “All of you, back off! Don’t come over!”
Then, the group leader restrained the middle-aged man. He pulled the middle-aged man by the collar and erupted with all his strength. Within seconds, he pulled the middle-aged man along and ran to the fountain in the square.
At this time, the timer was already at the last second. Seeing that the middle-aged man was still struggling, the team leader had no choice but to hug him tightly. Both of them fell into the fountain.
The other police officers had already noticed something. They ran over with pale faces.
Halfway through, they heard a loud bang from the fountain, and the water splashed an entire story high.
Then, a large amount of blood gushed out of the fountain. A tattered body wearing a uniform slowly floated above the water surface…
“Team Leader?! Team Leader…”
“The team leader of the task force has sacrificed himself.”
Yu Lang knew that Yu Yao was a soft-hearted girl. He was afraid that she would blame herself when she heard this news. Hence, he personally told this news to Yu Yao. If Yu Yao could not withstand the pressure and collapsed emotionally, he was prepared to embrace her tightly and comfort her.
However, what Yu Lang had not expected was that when his sister, who he regarded as weak and kind, heard this news, her face turned pale for a long time before she calmly accepted this nightmare.
Yu Yao closed her eyes tightly and used all her strength to maintain her calm. She asked in a low voice, “So, there really was a terrorist attack, right?”
Although Yu Yao did not break down, Yu Lang still took a step forward and pulled her into his embrace.
He stroked Yu Yao’s hair and said softly, “Someone had mixed in with a bomb tied to his body. He was amongst the crowd of silent protesters. Fortunately, the police investigated in time. Otherwise, he might have thrown the bomb into the crowd and caused large-scale casualties. Yaoyao, this is all thanks to you.”
Yu Yao leaned into Yu Lang’s arms as if she had lost all her strength. Her voice was muffled as she said, “But it was still too late. If I had noticed this news earlier, the leader of the task force might not have died. He is such a good police officer.”
In her previous life, Yu Yao had worked in the National Security Department. Although she was not a first-rate combatant like the police, she had also encountered casualties during missions.
Even Yu Yao herself had been killed by the local armed forces when she was on a mission to aid a third-world country.
Logically speaking, Yu Yao should have been used to this kind of thing long ago, but maybe it was because she slowly got used to the life of an ordinary person after she was reborn that there were no deaths or sacrifices in the world of ordinary people, so she was so sad when she heard the news of the death of the people she knew.
Yu Lang was not good with words and didn’t know how to comfort the sad Yu Yao. He could only hug her tightly, hoping to give his younger sister some support.
The news that terrorists had appeared in the crowd was quickly spreading online.
The people who were protesting silently had left immediately when they heard there were terrorists, but some of them did not run far. Instead, they only reached a safe zone and used their cameras to record the entire process of the team leader’s death.
