Chapter 196: Act Ahead
The sewage treatment plant is all automated machinery, and there are only two people on duty in the security room at night.
Find the sewage pipe that leads directly to the target factory, Ling Chen brought night vision goggles, adjusted the signal of the headset, and then drilled into the sewage pipe. The pipe was half a meter long in diameter, just enough to hold an adult.
It's just that there is a pungent stench in the pipes, and the inside is sticky filth, which is very disgusting.
Fortunately, Ling Chen was prepared in advance, put on a mask and gloves, and walked slowly along the sewage pipe. This pipe is more than 400 meters long, and he can only crawl with his hands, and he also carries tools on his back, which is very difficult, which is undoubtedly a severe test of his physical fitness.
More than ten minutes passed, Ling Chen let out a breath and rested on the spot. He waited until his strength had regained before continuing his journey. It took him about half an hour before he finally reached the end of the sewer.
The pipes have no outlets and are fully enclosed. Ling Chen took off the backpack on his back, took out the welding tools prepared in advance, and burned them at the top of the pipe.
A few moments passed, and the sewage pipe was burned out of a square outlet. Drilling out of the pipe, Ling Chen looked around to make sure that there was no one around, so he sealed the gap in the pipe so as not to be discovered.
At the moment, he was in a utility room, surrounded by a messy pile of goods. Changing out of his stenching clothes, he came to the door, listened intently, and saw that there was no movement outside, so he gently opened the door and stuck his head out.
Outside the utility room was a spacious corridor, and while there was no one, Ling Chen moved quickly and walked towards the end of the corridor. However, when he was about to turn the corner, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from the corner.
With a sweep of his gaze, he quickly moved to the next room, pushed the door and rushed in.
No sooner had the door been closed than footsteps passed by.
Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief, put on night vision goggles, and looked around the room. This is a bedroom, and there is still a person lying on the bed against the wall, who is asleep, not awakened by the appearance of Ling Chen.
He walked as lightly as he could, walked to the bed, and looked at it, a hint of surprise on his face.
Lying on the bed turned out to be a woman, who should be about thirty years old, and had a good appearance, but the only defect was her left ear, which was removed and replaced with a false ear. And, more importantly, this woman is yellow-skinned and most likely Chinese.
While thinking about it, an abrupt bell rang suddenly, startling Ling Chen.
He turned his head to see that it was the woman's laptop phone.
Seeing that the woman was awakened by the bell, Ling Chen hurriedly bent down and hid under the head of the bed to avoid being seen by the other party.
The other party answered the phone, and she didn't know what was said on the other end, so the woman only replied in English 'Got it', and then hung up the phone. Immediately afterward, I heard a movement from the bed, and the woman was already dressed and walked to the door.
When the door opened, Ling Chen noticed that two men had come outside the bedroom at some point. In front of the woman, the attitude of the two men was very respectful. It can be seen that the identity of that woman should not be simple.
After seeing the woman leave, Ling Chen stood up and searched the room, hoping to find some useful information.
Unfortunately, though, there are only a few change of clothes and feminine items in this bedroom.
Leaving the bedroom, Ling Chen cautiously searched the corridor for the hostage's whereabouts. The factory has three floors, and he is currently on the first floor. After investigating, he found that the first floor was the residence of the employees, and the defense was not very strong.
It didn't take long for him to finally find an elevator and a safe passage to the second floor. However, the elevators and safe passages are guarded by special personnel, and it is obviously impossible to sneak into the second floor of the factory without quietly avoiding these guards.
Before the operation is launched, he can't startle the snake.
According to his previous plan, he originally wanted to pretend to be an employee of the factory and blend in, but what made him helpless was that the employees of this factory were all white, and his face was too easy to recognize.
As he pondered what to do, the elevator doors slowly opened, and the woman with the defective left ear walked out, surrounded by several men in suits. Immediately, I saw the woman explain a few words to the people around her, and walked to the room alone.
Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, and only after the woman had gone away did he follow.
The factory is too heavily guarded and inconvenient, and the woman's status is not low, which may be able to serve as a breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, the sky outside the factory gradually brightened.
Ling Chen lay under the woman's bed, his eyes closed, and he hurried to recharge his energy and prepare for the evening's action.
"Ling Chen, please reply when you receive it. ”
At this time, Pang Jiulin's voice came from the headset. Because he was afraid that the woman would hear it, Ling Chen didn't dare to respond, but just lightly pressed the intercom button. With Pang Jiulin's experience, he naturally knows what it means.
Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and the woman finally got up. Ling Chen, who was lying at the bottom of the bed, turned his head to look and saw that the woman had taken off all her clothes and pants, and threw them on the ground along with the underwear on her body.
Ling Chen secretly said that it was a pity, he was blocked by the bed, he could only see the parts below the other party's knees, and the other parts could only rely on imagination.
Seeing that the woman finished washing up and left the room, Ling Chen had time to contact Pang Jiulin and report the situation here. After listening to his plan, Pang Jiulin said: "You can do it yourself, pinch the time, don't be too early, so as not to startle the snake." ”
"Yes. ”
From morning to afternoon, the woman came back a total of two times, and Ling Chen always hid under the bed and did not move.
Until the evening, there was still an hour before Pang Jiulin's operation. Ling Chen got out of the bed, walked behind the door of the bedroom, and waited patiently.
More than ten minutes passed, and a sound of footsteps finally sounded from outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the woman walked straight in.
When the door closed, Ling Chen rushed forward, strangled the woman's neck from behind, covered her mouth, ignored the other party's struggle, and shouted softly: "If you want to live, be honest." ”
The woman tried a few times, felt Ling Chen's irresistible power, and simply gave up resisting.
Seeing this, Ling Chen pulled out a dagger, put it against the woman's neck, and reminded: "I advise you not to alarm the people outside, otherwise, I can assure you that my knife is definitely faster than your voice." With that, he let go of the hand that was tightly covering the other's mouth.
"Who are you?" the woman said coldly. At this time, she seemed to have regained her composure and was no longer as flustered as she was just now.
