Chapter 668: 276, saved!
In Lin Mo’s original plan, even if the terrorists were extreme, they would surely choose to flee when they saw reinforcements arriving.
After all, this was at the Northern Border, where the hostages they held weren’t such a big threat.
Most importantly, from the first wave of attack, they could feel that these people were intent on killing them all, with a very fierce approach.
The attack started with a full-on assault, leaving no room for maneuvering.
This was already a very abnormal situation because in their cognition, even the notoriously tough Special Forces of the Northern Border should not be so ruthless.
…
They still had control over thousands of concertgoers— even if they didn’t consider these issues, they should have thought about the impact it would have on the internet.
Bear in mind that today’s news reporting is globalized, and a country may control its own news, but to control opinions in other countries or even around the world is just a pipe dream.
Some countries deliberately avoid integration with the international internet for their own networks, and some countries monitor individual privacy closely, but no country is indifferent to its international image.
Even a terrorist group as dreadful as the S Organization is very conscious of its image internationally, striving to portray themselves as an organization that has gone to extremes in the name of resistance, and they work hard to cover up their misdeeds.
However, their existence contradicts the interests of a certain superpower, so they are doomed to live as the villains in this world.
In reality, who is the hero and who is the villain comes down to who survives in the end.

All else is not key, only this point is crucial.
So,
when they saw the first round of the Northern Border soldiers’ attack, many terrorists realized the gravity of the situation and understood that even if they wanted to surrender, they wouldn’t survive the fierce onslaught.
Then they had to make a choice, whether to continue to pledge their allegiance to their organization and meet a fatal end or break their so-called organizational pact and ensure their survival—this choice wasn’t hard at all.
A normal person facing death would do everything possible to survive.
Terrorists are no different.
They bear no psychological burden when killing, able to slay anyone they encounter, be it children or women.
But this changes when it comes to their own mortality,
faced with their life-and-death predicament, terrorists also become the most ordinary people, thinking how to survive.
So,
after the first wave of the attack ended, quite a few terrorists started to shed their clothes, donning civilian attire, then sought to create chaos and escape.
They weren’t far from the border,
as long as they could successfully escape the Northern Border and return to their own country, they would no longer be terrorists but heroes of their nation.
Indeed,
the entire incident was this ironic; even committing the same act could yield entirely different outcomes depending on the camp or position.
It was precisely because the terrorists started to collapse that Lin Mo and Zhang Li were so joyful, thinking they might finally survive this.
The other people at the concert held similar thoughts.
Yet,
the collapse only lasted for a very short time, or to say, in less than two minutes, those people stirred up trouble once again.
The terrorists, as if they were gunpowder-charged, launched an even fiercer attack.
Compared to the previous assault, they were less afraid to die and seemed more goal-oriented, constantly ignoring the civilians nearby and heading straight to the third floor of the concert hall.
It felt as though they had gone mad.
Lin Mo was no fool; he quickly noticed this change and couldn’t help but murmur, “Zhang Li, it looks like this time they’re really coming for us!”
Throughout the entire process of the attack, Lin Mo never felt this way, merely thinking the concert assault was an accident or that they just happened to be caught up in it.
After all, the terrorists were just killing indiscriminately,
If they were really targeting them, they would at least investigate their exact location before launching a precise attack.
Lin Mo knew,
if that were the case, then his situation and that of his family would be even more perilous, and they might even risk sacrificing family members.
But seeing the current state of affairs, where the terrorists disregarded their lives to singularly attack them, made Lin Mo understand some things while also feeling very puzzled.
Zhang Li also frowned and after a long time finally said, “Hey, bro, have you offended anyone from that country?”
The country he mentioned was naturally the one currently in conflict with the Northern Border, seemingly the only one with the motive, capability, and willingness to launch a terrorist attack within the Northern Border.
Of course, such things are not for public record, and no one asking would get the final correct answer.
