Chapter 724 Escape by water 2

Chapter 724 Escape by water 2

In this case, it has not yet been determined whether the person in the river is James. Members of the French National Intelligence Coordination Committee did not dare to shoot at will. After all, if the person in the river is an ordinary citizen and they shoot at ordinary people, the consequences can be imagined. .

Fortunately, Hume, a former member of the Marine Corps, swam very fast, and it didn't take long to catch up with James who was swimming forward desperately.

James, who felt someone chasing him behind him, knew the consequences of being caught. He couldn't care less at this time, so he took out the gun he was carrying and fired as soon as he turned around.

‘Bang~’

The sound of gunshots seemed so abrupt in the silent night.

The people on the shore immediately fell down, fearing that bullets would be fired at them.

But their worries were unnecessary. James was aiming at Hume behind him.

Hume was indeed a former member of the Marine Corps. When James turned around, he sensed something was wrong and dived into the water without thinking.

A bullet narrowly missed his scalp.

The moment the bullet flew past, even in the river, Hume was still covered in white hair and sweat.

To be honest, even in the Marine Corps, Hume had never been so close to death.

Seeing that he had missed his target, James fired three more shots at Hume who was diving into the water, and continued to swim forward without looking back.

Hume was worried that the other party would shoot again, so he dived deeper and for a longer time.

The three shots fired behind James did not cause any damage to him.

Since the distance between James and Hume was not far, the people on the shore did not dare to shoot casually and could only let James dive into the water.

By the time the people on the shore reacted and were about to shoot, James had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

But the people on the shore were not discouraged.

After all, it is now basically confirmed that the man in the water is James, which is the biggest good news.

Now that James is found, they won't let James escape again.

Everyone looked towards the Seine, their guns ready at any time.

They didn't want to kill James directly. For James, a king of agents, the French National Intelligence Coordination Committee definitely wanted to capture him alive.

However, facing a top agent like James, members of the French National Intelligence Coordination Committee felt that they should feel more at ease with a gun in their hands.

Hume, who was the first to dive into the water, came out of the water to breathe fresh air. However, as soon as he showed his head, he instantly attracted everyone on the shore, and several flashlights were directed at Hume's position.

"It's me, Hume..." Fearing that his colleagues on the shore wouldn't recognize him, Hume shouted loudly.

After all, Hume, who had just been through hell once, didn't want to go through it again.

"Hume, you come back first..." Seeing that it was Hume, the boss here, he asked Hume to go ashore first.

After all, Hume wouldn't be of much use if he was below. Looking at the opponent's appearance, if there was a chance, he would definitely kill the person chasing him, so it was better not to take the risk.

Just stay on the shore and don't believe that the other party won't show his face.

James in the water also had to breathe fresh air at this time. Even though many people called him the 'King of Secret Agents', he was still a human being and could not breathe underwater.

Knowing that there were many people staring at him above, James definitely couldn't expose his whole head to breathe air like before.

At this time, James removed a breathing tube from the equipment fixed on his body.

This breathing tube is very simple, just a curved, extended straw.

Put one end in your mouth and stick the other end out of the water, so you can breathe the fresh air from the water through your mouth.

Although the method is very crude, the effect is pretty good.

Especially at night, when the light was poor, everyone on the shore did not notice the small snorkel exposed on the water.

Two more minutes passed, and Leroy on the shore finally realized something was wrong. It was impossible for a normal person to stay underwater for so long. There must be something wrong somewhere.

The observant Leroy quickly noticed the small snorkel on the water.

"Over there, the breathing tube he used..."

Leroy's voice instantly attracted everyone, and everyone shined their flashlights towards the place where Leroy shined.

The leader here fired directly at the breathing tube on the water.

As expected of an elite agent in the French National Intelligence Coordination Committee, his superb marksmanship directly hit James' breathing tube with one shot.

In the eyes of the leader, capturing James alive was the greatest achievement. This was the simplest way to force James to show his face and surrender. If people were sent to arrest him, unnecessary casualties would likely be caused.

Anyway, James was in the Seine and had no chance to escape.

They have notified the headquarters, and the headquarters has arranged for people to come over for support. I believe that soon, the shore here will be full of people from their French National Intelligence Coordination Committee.

By then, even if James had wings, he would not be able to fly out of their encirclement.

James, who was underwater, had already noticed something was wrong when many flashlight lights on the shore shone on him. Before he could react, he heard a gunshot and immediately felt that all the river water in his mouth was sucked into his mouth.

He knew that he must have been discovered, and his breathing tube had been interrupted by the other party.

Although there was still a section underwater that could be used, he was not prepared to continue using it.

It has been discovered once, so using this method again will obviously not work.

I can only think of other ways.

James swam some distance under the water, turned around, faced the water, floated up gently, leaving only his mouth and nose above the water, carefully took a few breaths of fresh air, and dived into the water again.

This time James was very lucky and was not discovered by everyone on the shore.

But this made the people on the shore a little anxious.

It was too dark, and although some colleagues from a closer distance had already rushed over, there were still relatively few people on the shore.

It was so dark, and with so few people on the shore, it was still a bit difficult to find someone on such a large river.

But this is not a problem. Now just watch the river bank and don't let James sneak up.

After all, swimming in the water is definitely not as fast as swimming on land. It is obviously impossible for James to swim to a deserted place downstream.

James, who was underwater, also knew that he couldn't stay underwater forever. It was too dangerous, so he had to find a way to get ashore as soon as possible.

Since he decided to take the water route, James must have made various plans, and now this situation is also among his plans.

When he was on a mission in France a few years ago, James happened to read information about the Seine River, the romantic capital of France, and knew that there was a place nearby where he could temporarily escape from the siege of these people.
