"Does our embassy have an emergency escape route?"

looked at Tang Guoming with some dumbfoundedness, the second secretary obviously did not have the slightest mental preparation for the question raised by Tang Guoming, and after a while, he shook his head a little woodenly: "No...... Our embassy was completed two years ago, and in order to save money, and some other objective factors, even the house was rented before buying, but it was only after a simple repair, and there was no time or possibility to carry out large-scale reconstruction. ”

Frowning slightly, Pan Guan, who had already cleaned up and was standing beside Tang Guoming, smiled bitterly and picked up the second secretary's words: "Countries in the world....... Especially for those countries with a little strength, when building embassies in countries with frequent wars, they will basically consider the establishment of escape routes. That is, in our country, honest people do practical things, and basically don't use this little brain. When I really want to use it, I'm blind...... Boss, why don't we find another way to get out of the embassy? ”

Looking down at the personal information terminal tied to his left arm, Tang Guoming stretched out his hand to zoom in on the satellite map on the personal information terminal to the limit scale: "There are three high-rise buildings around the embassy, and the situation of the embassy can be seen clearly from a high position. In addition, there is an open space around the embassy, and you want to get out quietly...... Hard! ”

It seemed to be Pan Guan's words to remind him, the second secretary thought for a while, and looked at Pan Guan with some hesitation: "If you want to talk about quietly getting out of the passage of the embassy...... Come with me! ”

led Tang Guoming and Pan Guan into a room that seemed to be used as a storage room, but had been ransacked, and the second secretary kicked away the messy trivial items on the floor, pointed to a very heavy shelf and said, "Let's move this together!" ”

Glancing at each other, Tang Guoming stretched out his hand and pushed away the second secretary who wanted to help: "Let's do this!" ”

Without waiting for Tang Guoming to speak, Pan Guan had already stood on the side of the rather heavy shelf, and moved the rather heavy shelf with Tang Guoming, who was standing on the other side of the shelf. Without waiting for Tang Guoming and Pan Guan to stabilize the shelves that had been moved, the second secretary standing on the side had already pointed to a rusty steel plate under the shelf and shouted, "This is it!" Move this steel plate out of the way, there should be a passage underneath! ”

Looking at the second secretary standing next to the steel plate in surprise, Tang Guoming pulled the second secretary back a few steps, and then aimed the gun at the location of the steel plate: "What kind of passage is this?" ”

Seeing Pan Guan lift the corner of the steel plate vigorously, the second secretary raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and responded in a low voice: "When the embassy was first established, some local natives dug this tunnel, got into the embassy to steal things, and stole the storage room overnight. At that time, in order to get the embassy up and running as soon as possible, we didn't bother to close the tunnel, but just covered the floor of the first floor of the embassy with steel plates......"

Without waiting for the second secretary to finish speaking, Pan Guan had already lifted the steel plate pointed out by the second secretary. As the steel plate was lifted by Pan Guan, a rough hole with the thickness of a water tank suddenly appeared in front of Tang Guoming's eyes. Raising his hand and playing a 'rush into the reconnaissance' combat sign language towards Pan Guan, Tang Guoming still maintained a posture of guarding against the gun, and pulled the second secretary farther away from the entrance of the cave. Pan Guan, on the other hand, carried the automatic rifle behind his back, turned over and pulled out the self-defense pistol hanging in the holster on his leg, and jumped into the dark hole.

Holding the automatic rifle in his hand, Tang Guoming continued to maintain a vigilant posture, but at the same time, he asked the second secretary who was squatting beside him in a low voice, "Have you explored where this hole leads?" ”

Swallowing his saliva very nervously, the second secretary replied in a dry voice: "In a house more than 100 meters away from the exit, the efficiency of the local police is ...... I'll be blunt - the local police didn't want to take care of the case at all, and might even be involved, which is one of the reasons why we couldn't close the tunnel at the time. ”

Nodding slightly, Tang Guoming replied in a low voice: "As soon as the embassy opened, thieves came to the door, and the tunnel entrance was opened so accurately in the room used as a storage room, it is really unreasonable to say that there is no cooperation from the local police." Where does the tunnel go? ”

Blinking his eyes, the second secretary pondered for a moment before he whispered to Tang Guoming: "If that's right, it should be due south." There are very few underground pipelines in this city, which are basically distributed in a straight line due south and west. Those thieves digging tunnels should follow the direction of the underground pipeline to determine the direction, I ......"

Before the words fell, Pan Guan's low-pitched shouting voice was already heard from the mouth of the tunnel: "Boss, I'm out!" ”

Gently whistled to indicate that he had heard Pan Guan's voice, Tang Guoming slightly deflected the muzzle of the gun, and asked Pan Guan, who jumped out of the tunnel, "What is the situation in the tunnel?" ”

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Pan Guan responded: "This tunnel should have been abandoned for a while, and the entrance to the tunnel over there has also been some blocking, which is used as a storage warehouse. I found some food and conventional antibiotics at the end of the tunnel, which were supposed to be commodities used by the diggers for the black market business. ”

Taking off the kettle hanging from his waist and throwing it to Pan Guan, Tang Guoming asked again: "What about the tunnel exit?" ”

After pouring two mouthfuls of water, Pan Guan responded with a little respite: "It's a private house, it should have been hit by a small-caliber mortar shell, and half of it was blown up, and the original occupants left to avoid the disaster, and they left in a hurry, and they didn't take away the food in the house." ”

Nodding slightly, Tang Guoming quickly found the location of the building at the exit of the tunnel on the satellite map in the personal information terminal: "The location of this tunnel exit is just behind the high-rise building south of the embassy?" ”

Nodding quickly, Pan Guan responded: "I took a look from the exit of the tunnel, the high-rise building is only less than twenty meters away from the exit of the tunnel in a straight line, and there are some building wreckage in between, which can provide us with shelter when we move." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Guoming turned his head to look at the second secretary standing beside him, and handed an anti-personnel grenade to the second secretary: "This will be used, right?" ”

Very nervously took the anti-personnel grenade handed to him by Tang Guoming, and the second secretary responded in a dry voice: "Pull the ring and throw it out, I'm okay with this!" ”

Reaching out and patting the second secretary's shoulder, Tang Guoming raised his hand and pointed to the entrance of the dark tunnel: "If you hear movement in the tunnel and don't identify yourself, you know what to do!" ”
