Chapter 8: The Pursuit of the Upper Echelons 1

"Now that we're here, why don't we try to get out of here?

We're only one story away. ”

With that, Lin An came to the bed and lifted the mattress.

Then he pointed to the iron frame of the bed and looked at Herman.

"We use this metal, make a ladder,

When the platform comes down tomorrow, we'll put the ladder on the platform and climb straight up. ”

Herman walked over to Lin An and looked at the iron frame that supported the bed.

"There's no welding here, but I have a way to get it together."

Herman said with a serious expression.

It's just that Herman raised his head again and stared at Lin An and said.

"How sure are you that we'll be able to escape when we go up?"

"I don't know, but we can go up and see what's going on up there before we decide.

If the situation is too dangerous, we just come down, and the time is completely in time anyway.

Even if you waste a day's meal time, it doesn't matter, anyway, we are on the first floor. Lin An said.

After listening to Lin An's words, Herman laughed, and he lowered his body and began to dismantle those iron shelves.

With the help of an axe, the two cut off the iron frame.

Then by smashing the part of the iron frame flattened, the different iron frames are interspersed with each other.

Soon, a ladder that wasn't very useful, but still workable, was made.

The two of them measured the height of the ladder.

Coupled with the raised part of the platform, the two of them could completely touch the edge of the uppermost pit through this ladder.

The next day, both of them who were sleeping on the floor woke up early.

Together, they stared at the ladder and waited for the platform to come down.

Finally, the mechanical sound remembered, and the two of them quickly got up at the same time.

Herman raised the ladder in his hand, and Lin An jumped onto the platform to clear a clearing from the food pile.

Herman set up the ladder, and the two looked at each other.

"You go first!" Herman said.

Lin An did not hesitate and immediately climbed the ladder.

Because it is interspersed with iron frames, the ladder is a little unstable.

Herman held on to the ladder, and Lin An finally climbed to a position close to the top of the ladder little by little.

He looked at the edge of the pit far above and took a deep breath.

Then he jumped hard and grabbed the edge with both hands.

Lin An used his arms to pull his body up, and then stepped up sideways with his legs.

"How?! What's on it?! Herman looked at Lin An, who had already climbed up, and asked with a shout.

Lin An stood up, but the scene in front of him was completely different from what he thought.

It was no different from the cell they were in, except that there were no beds or water pipes.

The stone walls around it were bare and empty, except for a large number: 0.

At this moment, Lin An suddenly heard the sound of machinery below, and the platform was about to descend.

Lin An did not hesitate, immediately ran towards the pit, and then wanted to step on the ladder.

It's just that Lin An's feet just touched the ladder when the platform moved.

Lin An fell down with the ladder.

When Lin An fell in front of Herman, he saw Herman stretch out his hand.

Lin An instinctively reacted and grabbed Herman's hand.

Then his other hand tried to grab the ladder.

It's just that the ladder fell too fast, and it fell directly to the third floor with the platform.

It took Herman a lot of effort to pull Lin An up.

The two of them lay on the ground and gasped for breath before sitting up.

"What the hell is up there?!" Herman continued.

Lin An just sat in place, muttering, "This is not scientific." ”

"What the hell is there?!" Herman was a little anxious.

"This cell above is exactly the same, except that there is no bed or pool.

And there is also a 0 written on the wall, and there is not even a door on the wall. Lin An said.

"It's impossible, how did they put the food on the platform?" Herman asked.

"Could it be that a secret door was made up there to prevent anyone from escaping?"

Lin An suddenly realized something and immediately stood up.

Lin An began to say to Herman with an excited expression.

"If you think about it, this cell has more than 300 floors in my understanding.

Anesthetize people every month, then change everyone, and bring in new people.

How did they do it? Is it possible to move up and down the platform layer by layer? ”

Herman thought for a moment, and his expression became excited.

"Is it," Herman tried, "is there a secret door on every floor?" ”

With that, the two quickly leaned against the wall and began to pound on it.

Knocking on the wall, Lin An was still thinking.

Perhaps this so-called exit is not at the bottom, but is hidden in this room.

"Here!" Herman said suddenly, and leaned against the wall and tapped it carefully.

Lin An also walked over, put his ear close to the area, and began to bang on the wall.

Sure enough, compared to the sound of banging on the stone walls around it.

The walls around here have a crisp and empty feeling when they are beaten.

Herman began to study the cracks in the stone bricks in the nearby walls.

"I can't see it at all." After studying it for a while, Herman said.

Then he went to the bedside and picked up his axe.

Without saying a word, Herman slammed his axe straight into the wall.

Soon, the stone walls began to fall with broken stones.

It's just that the axe has smashed a small hole two centimeters deep into the wall, but nothing else has been found.

After Herman smashed for a while, he was a little exhausted, and Lin An took the axe and continued to smash it.

Suddenly, the axe, which had been smashing against the wall with a muffled sound, made a sharp sound.

Herman immediately got up when he heard the voice.

The two of them approached the wall and noticed that behind the thick stone wall, a small piece of metal had appeared.

Herman immediately had an incredible expression on his face, and he raised his hands above his head and laughed excitedly.

"It must be here!" Hull shouted.

Lin An was even more excited, and immediately raised the axe and smashed it again.

The two of them kept slamming against the wall, and soon a metal pit the size of a bowl appeared on the wall.

The next day, due to the wall that had been smashed yesterday, when the platform was lowered, the two of them had another nonsense meal and drink.

It's just that after they finished eating, they immediately threw themselves into the work of smashing the wall.

Later in the day, the platform that quickly returned to the top floor blocked the pit above them.

It was only at this time that the two stopped their work.

It's just that this day has passed, and the pit the size of the bowl has only doubled.

"No, it's not going to work like this." Lin An said tiredly sitting by the wall.

Herman wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Lin An without speaking.

"Even if we smashed the entire metal wall out,

We can't open the door, the door must be opened from the other side. Lin An said.

Hearing this, Herman seemed to react as well, and he sat down by the wall panting.

"Then there is no way? How about smashing this iron gate? Herman said.

"That's unrealistic, but I've come up with a new way."

Lin An smiled meaningfully and looked at Herman.
