Chapter 5: The Hour of Horror (2)
The voice that was neither high nor low came: "This prop is so big, rich people, they can really play!"
A little dumb voice said: "This is a prop room, the door was locked just now, there should be no one, let's go, go check the next floor!"
Then there were footsteps and the sound of doors closing.
The five friends finally breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone waited for a while, until there was no sound outside, and Lang Fei asked quietly, "Are you leaving?"
In the darkness, Lan Kes's small voice came: "It seems to be!"
Ouyang Le's voice was also low: "Do you want to wait a little longer?"
Everyone didn't speak, and waited for a while, there was no movement outside, Ouyang Le groped out the mobile phone and pressed the screen to take a photo, and saw that everyone was nervous and pressed their breathing, because the mobile phone suddenly lit up, Lang Fei also covered his eyes with his hands, Ouyang Le also let his eyes adapt to the light of the mobile phone, before squatting down to find the place of the secret door, gently opened a small gap, tried not to make a little sound, waited for more than ten seconds, and really couldn't hear the sound outside, he opened the secret door, and waited for a while to see that there was really no one outside to crawl out of the secret door lightly。
The friends also followed him out of the secret door one by one.
Ouyang Le, who went out first, took his mobile phone and tried to find a signal, but there was no signal at all, so he ran to the skylight and tried it, but there was still no signal.
So he ran back, lowered his voice and said, "No signal!"
Other friends also took out their mobile phones to see, and everyone's mobile phones had no signal!
Wren frowned and said, "It's either that the signal here is not good, or it's blocked!" Then he quietly walked to the door and leaned on the door to listen to the sound outside.
Jiang Jingtong, Lang Fei, Ouyang Le and Lan Kaisi looked at each other, gave up and competed with the uncompetitive mobile phone, and all came over.
Wren turned and shook his head at the four of them, indicating that nothing could be heard.
All four of them also went over to listen, and there was indeed no sound outside.
Ouyang Le whispered: "This is the props room, there is only a small ventilation window, there is no window in the corridor, we don't know the situation outside, do you want to go out and have a look?"
Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "The bandits just left, according to what they said, they will search on the 9th floor!"
Ouyang Le looked at Jiang Jingtong: "The 9th floor is the audio-visual room and the auditorium, and there will be no students going up!"
"Then they will go downstairs soon!" Wren said, he took out his mobile phone to look at the time and said: "It has been 20 minutes since we found out that someone downstairs has sealed the building with a gun, and the students outside will definitely call the police when they find out about the situation here, according to the situation they searched for their classmates everywhere just now, I don't know if it is kidnapping or terrorist activities, we can't be sure what the bandits want to do, and we can either wait for rescue or find a way to escape from the current situation!"
Jiang Jingtong looked at Rennes: "Waiting for rescue is a passive choice, escaping is our initiative, and it is more active to save ourselves in the face of such a situation than to save him!"
Lan Kaiss was a little disagreeing: "That is, we have to take the initiative to escape, but where are we going to escape? Is it safe outside, is it against this building or is it attacking the whole school? We can't be sure about the situation outside, we can't act blindly......
"Shhhh
Ouyang Le and Lang Fei interrupted Lan Keith at the same time, signaling him to be quiet, as if there was a voice on the other side of the skylight.
So Wren motioned for Ouyang Le to stay at the door, and he and a few other friends ran to the skylight to listen to the sounds outside.
After listening for a while, everyone was sure that the same paragraph should be being shouted over and over again with a megaphone outside: Listen, the people inside are listening, you have been surrounded, what conditions can be raised, don't hurt the teacher and classmates......
Wren thought about it, moved a chair and stood on the chair and looked out through the skylight, and there were police cars around the student union activity center building several times outside.
The other friends brought two more chairs and took turns to stand up and look out - the blue and red flashing police lights looked like hope at this moment!
Wren checked the size of the skylight before coming down, making sure that the skylight really couldn't accommodate a person to pass through, and motioned for everyone to come down too.
When everyone came down, Wren said: "It should be safe outside, it seems that the bandits just took control of this building and kidnapped the teachers and classmates in the building!"
Lan Kaisi said: "Then we can find a way to escape!"
Lang Fei said: "Can we get in touch with the police outside?"
Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "If I were a kidnapper, I would definitely occupy the commanding heights and monitor all floors. ”
Wren glanced at Jiang Jingtong appreciatively before saying: "Lan Kaisi, you go to the door to change the wind and Ouyang Le back, let's discuss how to act, if there is a sound outside, immediately warn, let's go back to the Trojan!"
The friends glanced at each other, at this time they were most afraid of panic, it was best for someone to come out as the leader to get the idea, and there was no problem with Wren's arrangement, so everyone didn't say anything.
Lan Kaisi frowned, but quickly understood that Ouyang Le, Lang Fei, and Jiang Jingtong were good friends, and Ren and Ouyang Le were roommates, and there must be a tacit understanding between them in thought and behavior, so he went to the door to guard without saying anything.
Wren motioned for everyone to come over, and then said: "The situation is not clear now, I will analyze the current form for everyone's reference, and then we will make a plan of action." ”
The three friends looked at each other and nodded, and Lan Keith at the door listened with his ears pricked up while being on guard.
Wren saw that everyone had no objections and began to analyze:
"First, we are now on the 8th floor, and the kidnappers are not sure on which floor, but they must have searched the whole building. When Lan Caith and I ran to this level, they had already sent people to guard the exit on the first floor. So we're trapped in this building.
"Second, unless the kidnappers don't want to live, or there may not be a way out, according to common sense, if you want to get out of this building, there are two ways, one is from the top of the building, that needs to have a helicopter, but there is a teaching building and a library opposite, the police can arrange snipers, but the police will not dare to shoot casually because of casualties caused by helicopter crashes, as long as the kidnappers have hostages, they can ask the police to prepare a helicopter or they arrange a helicopter to get out, but the helicopter load is limited, although we can't be sure how many kidnappers there are, but when we ran this side, we took a look and found that they had at least a dozen peopleThe helicopter can't fit so many people, and I don't think it's very likely that the kidnappers can arrange a helicopter, so the kidnappers want to get out of the way The most likely thing is to go from the first floor, so in order to get out conveniently, they will definitely concentrate the hostages on the ground floor or the lower floor. We won't meet any more kidnappers here for the time being!
"Third, so far we have only heard a few gunshots, the kidnappers did shoot the security guards and the fleeing classmates, but the teachers and classmates in this building combined are at least one or two hundred, and when those two people were searching, they said, 'If there are students, they will be arrested' and did not say that if there are students, they will shoot, which proves that they are now trying to arrest people and not to kill people!
"Fourth, we are now on the 8th floor, and the kidnappers must be on the lower floor, as Jiang Jingtong said, if we are kidnappers, in order to prevent the police from entering the bag from the roof or other floors, they will definitely occupy the commanding heights and set up guards on the roof, so there must be kidnappers on the top floor.
"Fifth, in this situation, we can wait quietly for rescue, but I don't know if the kidnappers will come to search again, and it is unknown whether the Trojan horse is safe or not; if we want to get out, we must not go through the door, the most feasible thing is to make a rope and find a window to climb down the rope, but the skylight of this props room is too small, and our bodies can't get through it at all! Therefore, we need to find another window that can pass through, although the window of any classroom can let us through, but it is inferred that the kidnappers on the top floor will definitely monitor the building, so we need to deal with the kidnappers on the top floor to have a chance to escape.
In addition, this building has 9 floors, we are now on the 8th floor, the height of the classrooms on each floor is about 4 meters, and the lifting frame in the hall on the first floor is higher, so the length of the rope should be no less than 36 meters, plus the part that needs to be tied firmly, the rope should be at least 40 meters or more. We can find ropes from this prop room, or make our own, and we really don't have the right materials to risk collecting curtains from other classrooms, but we have to make sure that the kidnappers don't notice anything unusual until we make the rope and climb down, and the police and snipers outside won't shoot us as kidnappers when we run away!
"These are all I can think of right now, do you have anything to add?" said Wren, looking around at everyone.
Wren didn't say it quickly, but his thinking was very clear, and after analyzing it in one go, the friends felt that his analysis was very reasonable, and they were thinking about it.
Lang Fei raised his hand and said that he wanted to ask a question -- before he knew it, the pattern of group cooperative learning came out! It was as if they were not discussing a matter of life and death, but as usual, a study group was discussing problems.
Wren looked at him.
Lang Fei said: "It's too risky to make a rope to climb out, the kidnappers have already shot and kidnapped hostages, the police will definitely come to the rescue for such a big thing, will it be more safe for us to hide in the Trojan Horse!"
Without waiting for Wren to answer, Jiang Jingtong had already shook his head: "Not necessarily, first of all, we don't know when the police rescue will enter the building, and the Trojan horse is so conspicuous, the story of the Trojan Trojan Horse slaughtering the city is well known, if the kidnappers come to a second search, or pay a little attention to check the Trojan Horse, we will be exposed; After all, you said that the kidnappers had shot the security guards and classmates, and since the blood was seen, the possibility of a peaceful resolution of this matter is very low, once the police and the kidnappers opened fire, we stayed in the Trojan Horse, we don't know the situation outside, if we are lucky, we can not be affected, but if we are unlucky, it is difficult to say! In addition, the kidnappers have captured so many teachers and classmates, they are all hostages in their hands, they have bargaining chips, in such a situation, the police want to ensure the safety of the hostages, and will definitely make a more detailed rescue plan, then the confrontation or delay with the kidnappers will not be short, but for us, the longer the time, the more bad it is for us, can we not eat, drink or go to the toilet, once we have these activities, it is difficult to completely hide our deeds, and it is a matter of time before we are caught!"
Jiang Jingtong said that the situation is a realistic situation, you can endure it without eating or drinking, but you can't bear the physiological needs of going to the toilet, once your whereabouts are exposed, you can't find a place to cry!
The friends fell into deep thought, and no matter how they thought about it, they felt that it was a dilemma.
Wren looked at everyone and didn't seem to be able to make up his mind, he took out his mobile phone to look at the time and said: "It's 3:23 now, it will definitely take time for the police to negotiate with the kidnappers, we can't be sure of the length of time, now let's make preparations with both hands, first find some weapons to defend ourselves." As he spoke, he shook the gorgeous prop dagger made of unknown material in his hand, this completely lethal thing that Ouyang Le casually stuffed over was really insecure: "If we encounter kidnappers, it is better to have a weapon than to use our bare hands, and then we need to prepare a rope, if it can be dragged until dark, it will be beneficial to our action!"
Everyone felt that Wren's arrangement was very reasonable, so they scattered one after another, and walked to the wall hung with various weapons and props to find a suitable hand and a weapon with a bit of lethality, which was difficult - I want to know the props used in theatrical performances, just seek the stage effect, which will give you lethality - everyone can YY by themselves, A and B fight on the stage, you stab me, I stab you, the props are real, and the performers are not bleeding, so these "weapons" that look cold and shining Many of them are hard plastic, and the metal is limited, and the limited handfuls of metal are all unedged.
Everyone picked and chosen, but in the end, they could only barely make do:
Wren chose a short sword commonly used by medieval soldiers, although it was metal without a blade, sharp and not heavy, and it could be used as a stick if the sword was not qualified, Wren seemed to feel uneasy and carried a few imitation scalpels into his arms.
Jiang Jingtong chose two lady's daggers - slender and delicate, it is definitely not possible to cut people, but stabbing people should be sharp weapons!
Ouyang Le threw away the dagger that was used to recharge just now, and found another one with a thinner and longer blade, which was similar in effect to Jiang Jingtong's lady's dagger.
It's that Lang Fei is more entangled - he is very optimistic about the sword of King Arthur, big enough, heavy enough, powerful enough, it can't cut people, but smashing people and turning over one - it is a man who should use such a weapon, those short knives, short swords, daggers He really can't look at them, and finally he gritted his teeth and decided to choose this!
Ouyang Le wanted to vomit badly, big brother, we are thinking of running for our lives, big brother, we need to act quietly, big brother, we are not going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, what are you going to make trouble with such a long and heavy weapon!
Seeing Ouyang Le looking at Lang Fei with a twist and a desire to speak, Jiang Jingtong patted him comfortingly: "Maybe we will use a long weapon!"
As he spoke, he took a small dagger he picked out and stuffed it to Lang Fei and asked him to pick it up.
Lang Fei thought about it, and felt that there were not too many weapons at this time!
Seeing Lang Fei take the dagger, Jiang Jingtong picked and found a short knife and walked over and handed it to Lan Kaisi, who had been observing the outside situation at the door, Lan Kaisi checked it, and felt unsatisfactory, so he picked up the weapon that Ouyang Le had given him just now, and took the knife that Jiang Jingtong gave him.
At this time, Lan Kaisi glanced at Jiang Jingtong, his deep blue eyes had a hint of strange emotion, but Jiang Jingtong didn't pay attention!
When he saw that Lanketh also had a weapon, he pushed down his glasses with his hand and walked back.
Over there, the three friends have begun to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find ropes, and Jiang Jingtong has also joined the ranks of rummaging.
Ten minutes later.
Everyone looked at the ropes of completely different thicknesses, lengths, and textures, and it was really hard to imagine how to get them together as the most important escape tool for several people!
This is the 8th floor, if the rope is unreliable, then their lives will have to be explained!
