Dalton slowly crouches down. He doesn't look relaxed but extremely nervous. So, his ugly face
becomes even more terrifying.
He is holding the knife that was just now used to commit murder. Dalton keeps swinging it in front of
Eunice. It is more like a threat than an unintentional behavior.
Eunice doesn't know she can be so brave. She witnesses a man die and hasn't fainted yet.
Just now, Samuel told her about the police. She did not believe it. But now telling from Dalton's actions,
she does.
If the police haven’t targeted Dalton, Dalton has no reason to kill Samuel.
But ... what about the other person?
It seems Dalton sees through Eunice. He says coldly, "The other one is lying outside. None of you can
escape...."
Perhaps because Dalton kills two men, his voice sounds hoarse and trembling with extreme
excitement.
Eunice's entire body is cold. In silence, she looks at Dalton with vigilance.
"It looks like Ryan has already made his move. However, he is very unwise to call the police...." Dalton
sighs.
Eunice is tortured by fear and anxiety. She will die anyway, so it'll be better if Dalton stabs her to death
right now.
Eunice musters up all her courage and says, "What exactly do you want?"
"Me?" Dalton smiles sinisterly and rests the point of the knife against her face. Suddenly, with some
strength, he makes a cut. He moves the knife from Eunice's left cheekbone to the corner of her mouth.
Eunice frowns in pain. She doesn't dare to move recklessly, fearing that it will lead to a deeper
penetration.
Eunice doesn't know if she is disfigured, but the blood flowing out of the wound is quite shocking.
"Don't worry. I won't kill you right now." Dalton says in a casual manner, as if he is talking about the
good weather. "Ryan calls the police so that he will never give me what I want. Then he has to pay a
price. In order to escape alive, I have to calm down. I'll need you later. If I can't get money, I'll at least
make Ryan miserable!"
...
When the captain reaches an agreement with Owen and Samuel, he asks them to lure Dalton so as to
join forces. Later, he glues a miniature police camera to one bottle of the mineral water.
The police can see everything inside. As what he is told, Samuel confirms the heath condition of the
hostage first. Before the police breathe a sigh of relief, they see Dalton walking towards the camera.
The captain stares at the screen on the car nervously. As Owen stands up as well, the captain knows
that the shit may hit the fan.
The captain thinks that Dalton will run away after discovering the camera, or he will break with Owen.
But he never expects that Dalton will directly kill Owen crazily!
The camera is pointing at Dalton. In the screen, the captain sees Dalton kills Owen with a knife.
Owen, a twenty-two-year-old youth who has gone astray, wants to fight for a commutation of his
sentence. He does not deserve sympathy. But the captain can't help but sigh that Owen is pitiful and
unlucky.
When Dalton picks up the knife and destroys the camera, the captain is sure that they are completely
exposed, and that Samuel is in danger.
All the teams on alert receive an order and immediately go up the mountain to surround the bungalow.
The police are all over. Even the experts from the explosion prevention team come with them.
The camera is gone. No one can tell what is going on inside. However, at the thought of Owen's death,
everyone knows that Eunice is in danger.
Ryan makes him clear. No matter what, the hostages must be safe.
The police wonder who Ryan is. How can he persuade the director to stand up for him?
In this way, the safety of the hostages is of utmost importance. The police have to ensure that Dalton
won't harm Eunice when they break into the bungalow.
The captain first asks several armed police officers to climb over the cement wall that isn't tall and
quietly charge into the backyard. No one is found in the yard. Step by step, they approach the house
under the straw shed. They then push open the door, finding there are two consecutive paths.
Throughout the narrow space, they fail to find nobody except Samuel, who is lying in a pool of blood.
With his eyes wide open, Samuel has lost his vital signs.
Only then does the captain give his order. Everyone rushes into the bungalow that appears on the
display screen.
The captain walks at the front, armed with a pistol. He keeps dodging back and forth, his eyes as sharp
as X-rays. But even so, he doesn't see Dalton.
"Fuck!" After cursing angrily, he withdraws his gun and waves his hand, signaling the doctors who
come with them to carry the corpse away.
The captain has no time to be distracted. He carefully looks around. Where can Dalton hide in such an
empty and dilapidated room?
Behind him, a police officer suddenly shouts in panic, "Captain, there's a passageway here!"
As soon as he finishes, everyone follows him. On the south side of the room, there is a small door,
which leads to a very narrow mountain path.
When they walk in, they see the footprints that have just been left behind.
"Follow me. We must find them at all costs. The third and the fourth team wait at the foot of the
mountain. No one is allowed to be escaped. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Then the captain resolutely walks up the mountain, regardless of the danger. Once he adjusts himself
to working state, he just cares about how to rescue the hostage.
Anyway, this mountain is very small. He has already asked his subordinates to surround it, so he
doesn't believe that Dalton can escape.
...
Eunice's mouth is once again covered with adhesive tape. So, she cannot make a sound. Dalton keeps
dragging her. When he feels tired, he will kick her angrily to vent his anger.
"Damn it. Bitch, you're as heavy as a dead pig. If I didn't need you, I would kill you and dump you in the
wilderness right now!" As Dalton speaks, he kicks her a few more times. One is landed on the back of
her neck, and one is on the back of her head. Dalton uses so much strength that Eunice feels dizzy.
Eunice endures the pain and deliberately refuses to cooperate. She wants him to slow down so that the
police will have a better chance of catching up.
Perhaps her method works, or maybe it is easy to get tired when one is in a nervous state. After
climbing for more than ten minutes, Dalton has been out of breath from weariness. He is breathing
raggedly, as if he is going to faint.
He can't walk anymore, so he leans against a rock to rest.
Eunice is casually thrown aside by him. Lying on the ground, her hands and feet are tied so that she is
unable to move at all. She can only roll her eyes. Just as she rounds her eyes wide to remember the
path she has taken, out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly catches a figure moving on the hilltop
not far away.
Eunice is shocked, and then her heart starts beating crazily. Her cold body seems to have been poured
into tons of hot water in an instant, and she becomes energetic.
Her eyes suddenly turn red. She quickly withdraws her gaze and stops looking, forcing herself to
suppress the excitement and sadness. She does not express anything, but she clearly knows in her
heart that Ryan's people have come to save her.
