Chapter 849: Key Point

Chapter 849 -380: Key Point

At this moment, Gu Ji’s vision seemed completely occupied by the pulsing blood-red countdown numbers, an invisible pressure like terrifying giant hands gripping him tightly.

“No, there must be a key point that I haven’t discovered yet…”

Gu Ji closed his eyes, recalling the recon principles of the Blade Anti-Terror Special Warfare Team: fully assess the situation and adapt to changes.

[The items you have carried have been delivered!]

[Crisis begins…]

He opened his eyes again and continued selecting language markers, raising his wrist to set a countdown for 9 minutes and 12 seconds.

“Ah Ming, to be honest, I also agree with you. I do love taking pictures, but my family just won’t let me go abroad to work as a model.”

Seizing the moment while the Persian beauty talked, Gu Ji stood up and took down the backpack from the luggage rack, stepped back half a step, retrieved his front foot, and extended his arm.

In the next second, a dark shadow stumbled forward, landing right in his hand.

It was precisely the portly uncle from Iran.

He stood up bewildered, seemingly unable to understand how Gu Ji had predicted he would fall.

“Oh my God, Ah Ming, how did you do that?”

After the people left, the Persian beauty also quietly covered her mouth, exclaiming in surprise.

Gu Ji didn’t reply but instead asked, “Did you notice anyone particularly suspicious in the carriage?”

The Persian beauty paused slightly, not understanding why he asked, but still carefully scrutinized the passengers in the carriage, spreading her hands, “Uh… sorry, I really can’t see any issues with them.”

“What’s your name?”

“Ah Ming, what’s wrong with you…”

“Name.”

“Claudie.”

Gu Ji’s suddenly cold tone froze the Persian beauty’s expression, and she looked at him nervously, “Ah Ming, if this is a joke, you’ve already scared me a bit!”

“Sorry, Claudie, I need your help now.”

Gu Ji grabbed her shoulder and pulled her close, whispering word by word, “Please help me keep an eye on the passengers in the tail carriages. If there are any abnormalities, you must call me immediately!”

“Ah Ming, what on earth is going on?”

“I don’t have time to explain now. Can you help me just this once?”

“Alright…”

Although Claudie didn’t understand why Gu Ji needed to do this, she finally agreed with a determined gaze.

With someone monitoring from the tail, Gu Ji could leave at ease.

Exactly.

He had already found a key point of this round:

The mysterious Persian man with the black-haired triangular face in the second round!

First, Gu Ji could confirm that in the first round, he definitely hadn’t seen this person on the train.

He had checked almost all the carriages back then; the only ones he missed were those near the front.

So, this time Gu Ji headed straight towards the train’s front.

Upon reaching the 5th carriage, he noticed that starting from the third carriage, all the connecting passages were closed, with a tall Persian strongman guarding at the doorway.

“I didn’t expect there to be such an important VIP hidden in this train.”

Gu Ji squinted slightly.

The triangular face and the strongman before him should both belong to security personnel. To set up an independent carriage within the train, with such tight security arrangements, it’s definitely not an ordinary person.

Only now did he understand why in the second round, the triangular face kept staring at him.

It must be because he yelled about a bomb attack in the train while catching the man with a white turban, catching the attention of security personnel, who specially came to find him.

This way, things became simpler.

Gu Ji casually found a luggage rack to temporarily leave the backpack there, then walked straight to carriage number 3.

As expected.

Before he even approached the door, the Persian strongman gestured with his hand, “Sorry sir, you can’t go through ahead.”

“Get your security chief out here; I have something important to report!”

“Who are you?”

Upon this remark, the Persian strongman instantly became alert, his gaze scanning him up and down like a scanner, seemingly intending to see through him.

“Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is, if you refuse me now, the person inside the carriage will be in danger!”

Gu Ji calmly raised his hand and pointed behind the door.

Upon hearing the word “danger,” the Persian strongman turned pale, immediately pressed the headphone button to report to his superior.

Soon after, he walked right up to Gu Ji, began to frisk him, taking all his belongings and credentials, not even sparing the crotch and insoles.

This is why Gu Ji temporarily dropped the backpack.

Successfully passing the security checkpoint, the Persian strongman then opened the iron door and let him through.

Entering carriage number 3.

Unexpectedly, waiting inside were not VIPs, but five security personnel with grim expressions.

Security obstacle zone!

The so-called “obstacle zone” refers to setting up a buffer area outside the core security area for VIP activities, effectively intercepting enemy assaults, allowing time for the VIP’s safe evacuation.

It can be physical barriers such as fences, barriers, partitions, or personnel and equipment, like a human wall of bodyguards or sentry machine guns as surveillance weapons.

Evidently, these people in front belong to the former.

To employ security strategies like an obstacle zone shows how extremely important the VIP is.

Yet such an important figure, why not take a special train and mix with regular passengers?
