Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 431 - 203: Seeking Rescue

"Tell me how to use it!"

Gu Ji ignored the last lie.

Riddle glanced at the woman with sunglasses who was brought to the tree, gulped, and whispered, "This thing can only destroy electrical components; it can’t connect to the outside. I know these hijackers are connected to drug traffickers. We don’t have time; we should take advantage of this..."

"My patience is limited; I’ll ask for the last time!"

"I know! I also know the operation method that the drug traffickers don’t know! Take me with you, I’ll listen to everything you say!"

Seeing Gu Ji draw his pistol, Riddle closed his eyes, quickly rambled off a string of words, looking fearless.

This guy is as smart as someone in a second playthrough.

He knew he would definitely go out to seek communications.

After dealing with the woman with sunglasses, Bolton and Betty walked over, bringing him to the side, and asked gravely:

"Mr. Yassen, what do we do now, flee while seeking outside help?"

"With so many people, escaping together is too big a target. I’ll take some people to seek external assistance; you all find somewhere to hide. If caught by the drug traffickers, remember, do not resist. Do whatever they say. Wait for support to arrive!"

"Okay, got it..."

Bolton nodded.

After the plane cooled, Gu Ji found his backpack and asked around in the crowd if anyone could handle a gun; unexpectedly, there were two, Riddle, and someone from the Middle East with curly hair.

This guy’s luck was truly amazing; the third crash didn’t kill him.

Instead, the blonde stewardess and Officer Rooney sacrificed themselves to save him.

Upon inquiry, he was called Salih, from Yemen, forcibly conscripted for civil war before. He witnessed a helicopter crash that killed a friend, leading him to leave the military, leaving him with a fear of aircraft.

"Salih, you mainly keep an eye on her; don’t let her escape. She’s our evidence and a bargaining chip for negotiations with the drug traffickers."

Gu Ji brought the woman with sunglasses before him.

This was also why he didn’t choose to kill her immediately like he did with Sara, the drug trafficker.

On one hand, he hadn’t acquired key evidence yet. Killing her would provoke resentment from Bolton and the crew, who then wouldn’t cooperate.

On the other hand, from the second playthrough’s perspective, the blonde must not be an ordinary person in the group.

Having her mother as "hostage" at least deters the drug dealers from killing recklessly.

Finally, Gu Ji took Riddle, Betty, Salih, and the woman with sunglasses gagged with a towel, on the mission to seek help.

Having conducted a search once before.

He knew about the dirt path concealed in the jungle and improved his walking speed significantly compared to the second playthrough, reaching near the housing area by 2 p.m.

However, he didn’t choose to enter the housing area this time.

Instead, he had Riddle use a microwave device to destroy all their signals.

Betty looked confused.

Gu Ji pointed to the mountain, "See the plants on the slope? These villagers work for the Drug Trafficking Group, can’t let them report. Let’s go, I have another target!"

After Riddle destroyed the communications, he led the group past the housing area, toward the hillside.

Next to the marijuana field, they found a white Mitsubishi Pajero SUV used for guarding.

Gu Ji used Betty as bait, pretending to ask for help, and then ambushed to shoot the bald drug dealer first, after which he tossed out VX nerve gas, killing the other two.

"Guns, remember, don’t point the barrel at teammates, got it?"

He distributed the pistols taken from the bodies to Riddle and Salih and handed out phones to the three, "Betty, you contact the airline, Riddle, you contact the United States Federal Transportation Security Administration, Salih, post this photo on all major media platforms, claiming it’s caused by the Sinaloa Group. Now, everyone in the car."

The group lowered their heads, spotting a photo of Officer Rooney’s corpse on Gu Ji’s phone.

"Mr. Yassen, by doing this..."

Betty was somewhat puzzled.

Gu Ji stuffed the woman with sunglasses into the back seat, "It’s simple, use public opinion to force the United States and Mexico to step in promptly. A U.S. federal officer dying on a plane will surely cause a stir, and the drug dealers will be wary."

"That’s a cunning move... I mean, brilliant!"

Riddle almost misspoke, quickly correcting himself.

No choice.

Gu Ji was cornered; from the perspectives of all the forces in the second playthrough, neither the United States nor Mexican government was proactive because it occurred on a Panama Airlines flight.

In reality, the game was also using system tasks to hint and mislead mistakenly.

Solely seeking Panama Airlines’ help was ineffective.

Small countries have weak diplomatic, military, and police power.

So, he had to entangle major countries to rescue these flight passengers, akin to the 1999 Chechnya airstrike, where a Russian Su-25 pilot was captured by militants, prompting the Russian Army to dispatch Mi-8 helicopters with special forces for rescue.

Or the 2005 Iraq 48-hour crisis when Xia Kingdom swiftly organized diplomats and elite forces for rescue, successfully bringing eight compatriots home.

In critical moments, only major powers have the capacity for rapid response and confrontation with militants or terrorists.

Entering the car.
