Chapter 496: Ventilation Ducts
The dim candlelight slowly approached, and the crisp footsteps of leather shoes hitting the ground were heard more and more clearly.
Frankimir secretly said in his heart that it was not good, this clearly showed that they would be discovered, and in the final analysis, he was too negligent, taking it for granted that at such a time, this office-like place would definitely not encounter any danger, let alone someone to guard here.
It seems that he has completely miscalculated, and the security work of this secret base is not as lax as he thought.
Frankimir panicked, not knowing what to do at this moment, when someone grabbed him from behind.
Frankimir felt as if he were floating in mid-air, and at the same time, two guards with oil lamps appeared in the narrow aisle, and they walked past Frankimir's feet, not noticing that Frankimir was above them.
Frankimir didn't understand what was happening, but anyway, he was spared. It wasn't until the figures of the two guards completely disappeared in the aisle that Frankimir heard a voice from his ear.
"How's it going, are you all okay?" Genchino asked behind Vladimir.
Frankimir turned around, and then he noticed that it was Gen Chino who saved everyone, and he tied the fishing line that was "too empty" to the pipe above the aisle, and then tied the four of them together, like tying up hairy crabs, and tied them all to the steam pipe above the aisle, which was a fluke and was not discovered by the two careless guards.
"Thanks to you this time." Frank Mill said.
"You're so clever." Leo said.
"Can you put us down now?" Yiru asked.
She was tied to three men like this. She didn't feel comfortable anywhere on her body.
"Oh sorry, there's no way around it. I'll let you down now. Gen Chino said and immediately put them down.
"This time we were careless, so we still have to be careful. Although it seems that everyone is resting at such a time, there may be a crisis lurking here at any time. Frankimir sighed and continued, "Alright, let's hurry, we don't have much time, and once dawn comes, we'll only have more trouble." ”
Without saying a word, the crowd followed Frankimir and hurried on. It is important to find the location of the mechanical heart as soon as possible, or at least before dawn.
Their actions have become more cautious, always on the lookout for whether there may be danger again, in the office area on the second basement floor, there are many corridors leading to the third basement floor, which is a good thing for them, there is no need to continue to delay time on the second basement floor. Quickly head to the third basement floor.
The situation is similar on the third and second basement floors, with a few patrolling guards here and there, but this does not pose a threat to them.
In the blink of an eye, they were on the fourth basement floor. Looking at the dimly lit rock prisons, Frankimir thought of himself, the time he spent stranded on Paradise Island. It was only a few days, but it was more than years for him.
"Is that what they're here?" Genchino asked
"It looks like this. You see. All the corridors here are divided, as they say. Without the ability of 'Heart of Gustav', it would be difficult to get through here. Frankie Mill said.
"Be quiet, look up at it." Yiru said to the two
Frankimir and Genchino raised their heads in unison, and the walkway made of barbed wire was about three meters above the ground. There are guards patrolling the walkway, and the distance between them is about ten meters.
"It's not going to be easy." Leo said.
"This is indeed a problem, Gustav's Heart can help us open these iron gates, so how do we avoid these guards?"
"When I left, there weren't so many guards, so I could barely see anyone."
"Looks like you told them they needed to be on guard."
"Liu Tang and Dong Ping can only stop there. I think that's all we can do, and if we want to move on, they're going to find out, so what's the matter? ”
"Let's find out if there's another way."
"But there's only one way here."
"I don't think so." Gen Chino said suddenly.
"What's the matter, do you have any good ideas?" Leo asked, puzzled
Gen Chino stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of Leo's head, and everyone looked at the top of their heads curiously, it was a very thick and thick steam pipe, at least a meter in diameter.
"That's what you do?" Leo shook his head incessantly.
Frankimir nodded slightly, he seemed to realize something.
"It may not be the best way to do it, but it's the only way to do it right now, and I think you think so too." Gen Chino glared and wanted to ask
"That's all there is to it, let's find the entrance to this pipe first!"
"But where are we going to find it?"
"Maybe we should go back to the basement level, since there's a True Qi control room there. Then this heating pipe must also be able to connect to that place, and we only need to follow this pipe to go back, and it may not be difficult to find the entrance of this pipe. Leo nodded.
"I don't think that's necessary." Yiru said
"What's the better way you can do it?"
"Look ahead."
"How?"
"Didn't you notice that every once in a while, there is a vent? We just have to go back to the third basement floor, follow this pipe, find a random unguarded vent, and we can enter this pipe, and then go back to the fourth basement floor. ”
"It's a good way to save us a lot of time. In this case, let's go quickly, lest we be discovered by the guards here. Frankimi said, turning and heading upstairs.
Several people also followed, although they were still a considerable distance away from the guards on the fourth basement floor, but those who had been here for a long time, who could guarantee that they would not be discovered, it was best to leave as soon as possible.
The crowd hurried back to the third basement floor and quickly found a vent in the pipe. Frankimir used the ability of "Gustav's Heart" to remove the screws of the vent block, Frankimir pulled hard, and the entire basketball net was torn off by him, and several people climbed into the vent one after another, which was really hot, not to mention forty or fifty degrees of heat. But in order not for their own whereabouts to be exposed, they have no other better choice.
After everyone had entered the vent, Frankmir used the "Gustav Heart" to put the barricades and bolts back into place as if nothing had happened.
Coming to this narrow, damp, stuffy pipe was not as comfortable as they imagined, and the darkness that could not be seen left alone, the unbearable heat alone made them sweat. Except for Franky Mir, the others were all soaked as if they were in a sauna, and the sweat on their foreheads went straight into their eyes, so that they couldn't open their eyes at all. Everyone wanted to speed as fast as they could, so that they could get out of this place as quickly as possible, but if they traveled too fast, the metal pipes would make all kinds of crashing sounds, which was really a dilemma.
