Chapter 2491

The location of the fourth bomb was announced.

At first, Peter and Jason had no impression of this location, until a big guy found them on the lawn.

"Hey, it's you guys, remember me? I'm Carroll."

Peter and the others looked up. Looking at that face, Peter frowned. He thought back carefully before digging his face out of the depths of his memory and said: "You are Tang Pusen's little follower?"

"It's me." Carroll nodded and said: "Tang Pusen lives in this neighborhood now. I have to go over and see him. Do you want to go together?"

Peter looked down at the location on the map he pointed to, which was exactly where the fourth bomb was located, but it was not a very good neighborhood, and it could even be said to be much more chaotic than the one they lived in.

"Didn't Tang Pusen go to college?" Peter asked.

Carroll shook his head and said: "His father committed a crime, the whole family was implicated, and he didn't get into college either. No professional team was willing to want him. He is a porter on Mason Street, and his little daughter is already three years old."

Peter and Jason sighed together, but didn't say anything. Peter looked at Jason and said: "We have to go over and see. We have to find a way to stop this disaster."

Jason looked around. Obviously, it was not that they would return to normal if they sat still. It was more likely that they continued to delay, and everyone here would die.

Jason and Peter set off, but in fact, because the specific locations of several subsequent bombs were announced in advance, the people in that neighborhood had already evacuated almost completely, but the two of them still found Tang Pusen in the place Carroll mentioned.

So many years have passed, he is still very strong, and because he has been engaged in physical labor for a long time, he has even become stronger than Jason now.

Seeing Peter and Jason walking over, he was stunned first, then curled his lips and said: "I didn't expect you two to be alive."

"It's been so many years, your mouth is still the same smelly." Jason choked back unceremoniously, but noticed that Tang Pusen was moving goods onto the truck, and there were two thin and sloppy people sitting inside the truck carriage.

"This is my own car. I have to go around the street next to it and send this group of people out." Tang Pusen said briefly.

This group of people in Tang Pusen's mouth obviously refers to the two sitting in his car, and judging from the body shape and appearance, these should be two homeless people.

There must be quite a few homeless people on the street where he lives, because the neighborhood security is not very good, the police don't come to patronize often, and many homeless people use here as a base.

Some of them watch the news and run away, but some of them are either drug-addicted or old and frail. Some don't know they have to run at all, and some want to run but can't. Tang Pusen seems to be using his moving car to transport these people out.

"How many trips have you made?" Peter asked.

"There are five trips, but a few troublesome ghosts have to run to the deep mountains and old forests to set up tents." Tang Pusen said with some disgust.

They didn't have so much time to recall the intense conflict of their youth at all. After meeting again after 20 years, any past grievances were not as important as the current tight situation.

"I'll go with you." Jason opened the passenger seat door and sat in, and waved at Peter and said: "You go check the road situation ahead, Peter, if there is any problem, call me."

Peter nodded and didn't want to get in the car. Tang Pusen and Jason were the stronger kind, able to move people, while he was relatively thin. After doing research for so many years, it was already difficult to help with heavy work.

"I didn't expect it to be you doing this." In the car, Jason looked at Tang Pusen who was driving. He obviously didn't have the high spirits of his youth. The years carved too many traces on his face, which showed that he had not lived well these years.

"Someone has to do this, can't we just let them die inside like this?" Tang Pusen made a gasping sound from his nose and said: "Seeing that Peter Parker's timid look makes me angry. When encountering something, he must be the first to run."

"You got that wrong. We rushed over from two streets away. We intend to completely solve this trouble. What about you?"

"Just rely on you?" Tang Pusen raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Jason, seemingly completely disbelieving.

"You saw it before, that guy named Joker was knocked down by a homeless man. This shows that he himself is not that strong, just hiding. As long as we can find him, all trouble will be over."

"I really want to punch him." Tang Pusen roared: "The day after tomorrow is my daughter's birthday, and she can't even celebrate in her own home!"

"Then solve these things quickly, we can give him a punch each."

The car soon drove to Tang Pusen's target location. This is the depths of a park. When walking from the square, you could see several tents from a distance, but the tents were set up on the hillside. They still had to climb the mountain.

Just like Tang Pusen said, these few lunatics had to set up tents in the wilderness. Fortunately, the park is a distance from the bomb placement location, and the nearest location to get out of this range is actually only a few hundred meters, so in fact, as long as you find them, step on the gas pedal and you are out.

It just so happens that a few people inside seem to never go online, don't know what the bomb is at all, and thought Tang Pusen and the others were police officers who came to force demolition, holding weapons to confront them.

Tang Pusen and Jason spent a lot of effort to knock all these people unconscious, carrying one and dragging one, and moved all four to the car.

Because the locations of these bomb placement were leaked at the second bomb, the neighborhoods ranked later have sufficient escape time, and when the car drove out, there was no shadow on the street.

Just when they were about to withdraw from the range, Peter's phone suddenly called. He said anxiously on the phone: "No, don't take this road, Jason, let Tang Pusen take a detour, drive out from that small road!"

"What's wrong? Peter, why can't we take the main road?"

"It's blocked here, here..."

He just said this, and the phone was snatched away. A strange high-pitched male voice came from the phone, "Why do you have to care about that group of damn homeless people?! Only if they are blown to death will the locations of subsequent bombs be announced! If no one is blown to death, we won't know where the bombs are placed!!!"

"Are you crazy?!" Tang Pusen roared at the phone: "You intend to just let them be blown to death there?!"

"That's because they run slowly, what does it have to do with you?! You meddling stupid pig, you will kill more people!!"

"You are the selfish one..." Jason just said this, and the car had already driven to the intersection of the main road, but there was no road here at all. The intersection was blocked by a pile of car wrecks, and a large group of people stood outside the range and roared toward this side.

"Don't come over! Leave them behind!! Otherwise we won't know where the bombs are hidden later!!!"

"Why on earth do you want to save them? Obviously they are looking for death themselves!"

"Just a group of homeless people, what's wrong with letting them be blown to death? Anyway, they are all social toxins, a group of drug addicts who cheat and do all kinds of evil, isn't it good to die?!"

Tang Pusen was driving a small truck, not that kind of big truck. Facing the various truck wrecks blocking the front, he couldn't rush over directly, but now there were only two minutes left.

Tang Pusen is a local, knowing how to take that small road next to the neighborhood, but the bad thing is that there are also locals in the group of people standing outside. They saw Tang Pusen's car turn around and knew he wanted to take the small road, and immediately shouted for a group of people to block the small road too.

Fortunately, Tang Pusen drove faster after all, arriving before that group of people. And after that group of people arrived, they found they couldn't make obstacles, so they just blocked the middle of the road, making the car unable to rush out with one foot on the gas pedal.

Peter rushed into the crowd, wanting to push them to let them move, but a strong man grabbed his neck and threw him out.

"Get out! Are you crazy? If no one dies here, where are we safe to hide?! Do you want your own family to be blown up by bombs that don't know where they are hidden?!"

"There are living people in the car!!" Peter roared: "How can you watch them be blown to death in front of you?!!"

He climbed up and wanted to block the crowd again, but there were too many people on the other side, and he couldn't fight at all. He was beaten by the strong man and two others, and could only lie on the ground with his hands holding his head, constantly making screams.

Physical pain made Peter painful, but what made him collapse even more was the mental torture. He began to think that he was powerful when he was sick. If he could come again, it would be great. If he could come again, he could throw this group of people out.

And Jason felt a sense of fear and desolation looking at the people blocking the center of the road, but it was not because they could ignore the death of their compatriots so coldly, but because he was understanding them.

According to the game rules set by that Joker, the map will be announced after someone is blown to death in each round of the game. The location of the fifth bomb was leaked, so it doesn't matter whether it is announced or not.

But what if the map is not announced after everyone survives this time? But there are still five bombs that don't know where they are.

His original plan was to take his wife and children to rely on his wife's family. They live in the suburbs, very far from here, so it is safe in theory, but what if?

The location of the bomb is not announced. Once it explodes, the entire four-kilometer area will turn into ashes. What if it is his own home?

Thinking of his wife and children, Jason found that he hesitated. He even had the urge to grab the steering wheel and step on the brake.

Anyway, that group of homeless people also gave up on themselves. Anyway, their life and death have nothing to do with this society. Why sacrifice the safety of his own family for this group of self-abandoning strangers?

Jason took a painful breath. Tang Pusen obviously also fell into confusion. He was also a middle-aged man with worries.

He went to save these people just because when he was just a porter, shuttling through the streets to move goods, he was pointed out by many homeless people who were familiar with the terrain, so after transferring his family to a safe location, the first thing he thought of was to transport this group of people out.

At that time, there was still more than an hour left, and he happened to have a car with spare space, so it was nothing to go around the nearby neighborhood to save people.

But now, he has to choose between this group of homeless people and his dear wife and daughter. How should he choose?

Just at this moment of their hesitation, the car had rushed in front of this group of people blocking the road. They obviously didn't intend to move away.

At the critical moment, Tang Pusen turned the steering wheel, and the truck rushed out rubbing against the sides of the buildings on both sides of the street. At the moment it flipped on the ground, there was a loud explosion behind it.
