The Blacklist

Chapter 254: Killing People and Preventing Explosions in Person

Seeing that he had taken on the matter, Wright and Cooper left with peace of mind. However, Carrie called Reddington and asked him to help find two European terrorists from Germany, and also provided the location of New Jersey.

Of course Lao Lei couldn't refuse his request, so he could only get busy again.

An hour later, Carrie took Gina, Jiva, Alam and Elise's team on a helicopter to I-95 in northern New Jersey, kilometers away; on the ground, according to his orders, CTU New Jersey Bureau had found the target's vehicle through traffic monitoring and began to set up roadblocks at both ends of the highway.

The helicopter landed 15 kilometers in the direction of New York where the target vehicle was heading. Carrie led his men to board the civilian vehicles prepared by the state bureau, and set off at intervals to drive towards the target.

The first car Gina drove was an ordinary Ford sedan. When she saw the target vehicle coming towards her and when the two were still nearly fifty meters apart, she slammed on the brakes!
The second car behind was an extended pickup truck driven by Jiva and Iris. As they were "unprepared", they failed to brake in time and rear-ended the other car. Then when they braked again, the truck turned sideways, blocking most of the lane...

The following vehicles all made emergency brakes continuously. Most of the private vehicles were actually stopped, but some CTU vehicles were unable to stop as planned and had to dodge in all directions, blocking the entire road tightly!
In this case, vehicles coming from the opposite direction naturally had to stop and could not move!
Gina pushed the door and got out of the car angrily, saying to Carrie in the passenger seat, "You said I'm not a good driver, then you drive!"

"I'll drive!" Carrie jumped out of the car and walked towards the front of the car, as if he was going to drive the car...

The two people sitting in the driver and co-driver seats of the first pickup truck that was forced to stop on the opposite side sighed helplessly. The situation before them made them realize that even if the couple in the first car drove past normally, it was unknown how long it would take to restore order in the chaos on the opposite side caused by them. This time it would definitely take time!
Carrie walked to the front of the car, took a step forward, and before he landed, he waved his right hand. The P228 pistol that suddenly appeared in his hand "bang bang..." fired four shots in a row, two double hits!

Then Gina fired four more shots. Eight 9mm steel core bullets penetrated the windshield. Four bullets per person, two in the head and two in the chest. No one missed! The two terrorists from Europe didn't even see what happened before they died!

Ji Wa jumped out of the cab of the second car, immediately drew her gun and went forward to provide support, but Iris slammed the car twice before rushing forward.

Then, the back door of the van opened, and eight armed operatives rushed down with automatic rifles, surrounded the car in the opposite lane, and after getting a signal from Kerry, they quickly turned around and set up a cordon!

Dozens of CTU agents and armed team members also jumped out of a dozen vehicles a little further behind the convoy, and rushed over to control the scene, evacuate vehicles and personnel, and push the cordon outward according to the orders of the three supervisors Gina, Jiva, and Iris.

Carrie waved to Alam, who got off the car at the back, and led him to the back of the target truck. When they opened it, they saw a compartment full of high explosives with a time bomb installed on it. It had already been activated, and there were less than three hours left. It was obvious that the plan was to explode after arriving in New York.

"How about it, can it be dismantled?" Carrie asked.

"Let me take a look first." With plenty of time, Aram was not afraid and went forward to check carefully. Kerry saw the amount of explosives, estimated it, and said, "Gina, order the cordon to be pushed 500 meters away. Those who disobey the order will be enforced."

"Understood." Gina was close by, so she naturally saw the bomb. She immediately agreed and gave orders loudly.

Other agents at the scene and some citizens who were nearby also saw the situation in the back of the truck and quickly spread the news that there was a bomb. The people who had been forced to leave the car and evacuate only then realized what had happened and all obeyed the orders.

Then, Carrie said: "Gina, arrange for our people to evacuate together with the citizens..."

Gina glanced at him, turned around and ordered: "Ji Wa, you go to the east side of the highway to command and set up a blockade; Iris, you go to the west side..." But she herself did not move an inch.

Kerry knew her feelings and said nothing more, but his heart was warm. This silly girl was not like him who knew that Alanmu would definitely be able to defuse the bomb, but she still stayed in such a dangerous situation. Her feelings were precious, how could he let her down! -
Ten minutes later, agents and operatives from various departments including the DHS (Department of Homeland Security), FBI, CIA, and New Jersey State Police arrived and cordoned off this stretch of road, which was usually deserted at night. However, after seeing the situation inside the car, they all joined in the work of evacuating the citizens and retreated outside the cordon.

At 10:30 pm, Alam successfully dismantled the time bomb. After another inspection, he determined that the danger had been completely eliminated and the operation was a complete success!

The action team of CTU New Jersey Bureau drove away the truck. The personnel of other departments breathed a sigh of relief and began to organize citizens to come back and get their cars and restore traffic...

A transport helicopter flew to the vacant road, and Carrie and his men boarded the plane and returned to Washington, D.C. The legend of their action began to spread in New Jersey and soon spread across the country. The newly established law enforcement agency CTU became famous!
-
In New York, Donald was very generous and did not stop it. Instead, he took the initiative to make a copy of the confiscated "caretaker" accounts and gave it to Reddington as a thank you for his contribution to this series of cases.

In the early morning, Dembe dug a grave in a cemetery outside New York and handed the jar hidden in the corpse to Reddington who was standing nearby.

There was a red envelope in the jar. After Reddington opened it and took a look, he began to think about his experiences during this period of time. After thinking it over again and again, he took out a lighter and burned the envelope!
Dembe watched his actions, said nothing, and went back to work - restoring the grave to its original state.

This envelope was written by Reddington a year and a half ago when he found out that he was terminally ill and gave it to the "caretaker" for safekeeping so that it could be delivered to Elizabeth when he met with an accident so that she could take over his "empire". But looking at the current situation, it should not be necessary!
