The tin box rattled for a long time.
Wangcai vaguely heard the sound of a phone ahead.
"You come alone, or they all die!"
"What's wrong with you? Heh heh... Wei Yan, you son of a bitch, taste this kind of loss too!"
"All my brothers, they're all in your hands!"
"Aren't you a cop? Then try to save them today, I'll give you this chance!"
Beep, beep, beep—
...
Bang!
It was startled awake by the sound of a gunshot when it woke up again.
Its head was still very heavy.
But it smelled a familiar scent.
It was its owner!
It lay on the ground, pawing its claws, but it couldn't muster any strength.
From its perspective, it could see the bound mistress,
And on the other side, with their mouths gagged, several crying children.
Tap, tap, tap.
Wei Yan looked at the bullet hole at his feet and walked step by step into the abandoned mall.
As soon as he entered,
He saw the people tied to the pillars on both sides.
And the time bombs tied to them!
[00:15]
Wei Yan's pupils contracted, his heart becoming heavier and colder.
There was a distance between the pillars on both sides.
And the entrance he came in from was right in the middle of them.
If he wanted to rescue the people on both sides, the time to go back and forth plus disarming the bombs
Would take at least 30 seconds.
The best way was to stall the gangster!
Tap, tap, tap,
Footsteps could be heard from the corridor on the fourth floor of the mall.
A man stood there, looking down at Wei Yan.
He held a switch button in his hand.
He smiled at Wei Yan and pressed it directly.
Beep—
The bombs on both sides immediately started their countdown.
[00:14]
[00:13]
"Wei Yan, aren't you a good police officer?"
"Now, can you save them? Hahaha..."
Mad laughter echoed through the mall.
Wei Yan's heart tightened, and he turned his steps.
He rushed towards the children.
At the same time, he shouted, "Captain!"
The Bluetooth headset on his cuff glowed.
The people outside immediately began to rush in.
But it was too late.
Because they were afraid of provoking the gangster, they had followed secretly.
Wei Yan quickly rushed to the children and drew the knife from his boot.
He cut off the tied bomb with one slash.
And threw it away.
Then he turned and ran to the other side.
Faster, faster...
Faster!
[00:02]
[00:01]
[00:00]
Boom—!
The bomb exploded.
The huge blast wave blew everything away.
It also blew Wei Yan, who was rushing forward, backward.
"Wife... wife..."
He got up and staggered forward.
But all that was left for him was a pile of mangled limbs.
The dazzling blood stained the ground.
...
Bang, bang, bang!
A large number of footsteps rushed in from outside.
Gunshots rang out.
The man's arrogant laughter echoed in the mall.
"Hahaha, Wei Yan, protect them, I'll see what you protect..."
Bang!
A bullet hit the man between the eyebrows.
...
"Woof, woof, woof..."
It pawed its claws, struggled to stand up, and walked towards its owner.
Owner...
Owner...
Time passed quickly and slowly afterward.
Outside the mall, all sorts of tin boxes arrived.
They took away the terrified children.
And collected the mistress's body...
They helped the owner walk out.
Wei Yan, covered in blood, walked out of the mall without a word.
Then,
He collapsed without warning.
...
He never woke up after this fall.
Half a year passed.
He was still in a coma.
The humans in white coats said that Wei Yan's injuries had healed.
It's just that... he couldn't wake up for some reason.

In the live stream room,
The viewers watched as the streamer tapped the dog's head.
Then time seemed to stand still, and the picture remained motionless.
Before they could react, the live stream suddenly changed.
It flashed by like a kaleidoscope—
The woman being tied up, the gangster making a phone call, Wei Yan arriving at the mall...
The choice given by the gangster, the urgent countdown, and the final explosion...
As they watched, their vision became blurred.
A gust of wind blew, and their faces felt cool.
Unwillingness, anger, stinging pain...
Various emotions flashed through their hearts, and their hearts felt as if they were being clutched by something.
It was hard to breathe, and it hurt with a tug.
"Why, why are there such bad guys ahhhhhh—!"
"Wuwuwu... there's blood all over the place, and I should be scared, but I feel so sad. o(╥﹏╥)o"
"!!!"
"I really want to slap that person to death! Why would they pose such a difficult question!"
On one side were several children, and on the other was his wife...
This was like a certain train problem from the past.
A child was placed on the train tracks.
If the train continued, the child would die.
If the train stopped, everyone on the train would die.
Who to save?
No matter who was saved,
The deceased would forever be a pain in the heart.
Because it was he who made the decision,
It was he who made the decision that would cause the other party to die.
Even an ordinary person would have trouble getting over such a situation.
Let alone a police officer with a strong sense of duty.
What's more...
It was his wife.
"He... probably doesn't want to wake up."
...
Some people were sad due to understanding, while others were angry due to not understanding.
"Damn it! Why didn't he save his wife first!"
Many viewers couldn't help but punch their tables, filled with anger.
They understood the logic.
But how heartbroken must the wife be, watching her husband abandon her! Dafeng Novel Network
What's the use of marrying such a man!?
If he can't even protect his own wife, what kind of police officer is he!?
"He is a soldier."
"Should a soldier's wife be sacrificed?!"
"On one side is family, and on the other are five innocent lives... No matter which side you choose, it won't be easy."
"This is an unsolvable choice."
For a time,
The bullet screen was divided into three factions, arguing endlessly.
One faction understood Wei Yan's actions.
After all, on the other side were five lives, and Wei Yan rushed to save his wife immediately after throwing away the bomb.
He did not slack off.
One faction felt it was not worth it for Wei Yan's wife.
—Isn't a soldier's wife also a civilian?
The children needed protection, and so did his wife!
Another faction believed that the point of contention should be the gangsters.
No one should be sacrificed; blame the gangsters who posed the question.

In the live stream,
Jiang Lin withdrew his hand.
His eyelids drooped as he looked at the dirty dog in front of him.
'Wangcai, how do you want to help him?'
Wangcai barked twice at the mall entrance, "Woof woof~!"
'Master, Master is trapped inside.'
'Help Master.'
It remembered that its master had collapsed here.
It could also vaguely sense that something of its master's was lost here.
But it couldn't see it, nor could it help.
'Please, help Master.'
'He's actually a very good police officer.'
...
'How do you want me to help him...'
Jiang Lin looked up at the mall in front of him.
He flew in, penetrating the invisible barrier.
Bang!
An explosion echoed in Jiang Lin's ears.
