Chapter 956: Schiller's "Escape" Journey (I)
After Schiller got into the FBI's car, there was silence in the car, Schiller's face was dazed, his breathing was very short, and the escort operator sitting next to him couldn't help it, he said, "What's wrong with you? Do I need medication?"
"I have a very serious stress reaction, you have to ...... I must be given sufficient sedation immediately, or I will not be guaranteed to see your boss alive......" Schiller said as he gasped.
The driver of the car did not hesitate, he immediately picked up the communicator and said, "Send someone to the hospital and prescribe a sufficient amount of sedative medicine."
With that, he looked back at Schiller's symptoms and said, "Strong tranquilizers, against mania and hypernervousness......
"Thank you, you're even more professional than my students." Schiller tilted his head and leaned back on the back pillow of the back seat.
The attitude of the agents was very good, and a female agent sitting in the passenger seat said, "If you hold on, we must take you to our temporary base before we can give you medicine."
Schiller has closed his eyes and inhibited the hyperactivity along with the gray fog, but because it is a psychogenic nerve reaction, as long as the stimulus source is there, the hyperactive reaction will not stop, and the specific symptoms are excessive breathing, limb tremors, increased blood pressure, and so on.
As Schiller leaned back in the chair with a pale face, the female agent in the passenger seat whispered to the driver, "Scott, can we give him a hood in this situation?" This could easily cause him to have apnea, right? If he's in shock, we don't have anything to do to save him......
After saying that, she glanced at the road outside and said, "Now the streets are full of broccoli, we can't even drive fast, and if he is really in shock, we can't even take him to the hospital."
"There's a device in the car to monitor his heart rate and blood pressure, and if the reaction is really intense, then he doesn't need to wear a hood, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to where he's taken anyway." Scott, who was driving, replied.
"But......," the female agent said, glancing back at Schiller, "what if he's pretending?" He's a very good psychologist, maybe he can hypnotize himself and produce this symptom......
"But we can't bet." Scott steered the steering wheel to avoid a broccoli, slowly turned a corner and said, "Whether he said he was true or not, we have already reported it, we must get him safely to Washington, D.C., and it is our responsibility if anything goes wrong on the way."
"He can die, but never at our hands, and from the moment he says who he is, our task has become, to do everything possible to keep him safe."
"Okay, you're an expert, forget it." The female agent looked left and right again and said, "No, we can't drive ahead, let's find a way here."
The car slowly stopped, and the female agent in the passenger seat was the first to get out of the car to survey the surrounding situation, and after a while, she came back, knocked on the window and said, "Get out of the car, follow me."
After the escort agent on the left came down, the one on the right also tried to get out of the car, but Schiller sat still and did not move at all.
The agent looked back at him, and then said to the female agent, "No, I'm afraid he's incapacitated, we need to drive as close to the base as possible, otherwise he'll faint halfway and be in great danger."
The female agent hammered the window and said, "Okay, I'll direct you to reverse the car into that alley, there's an entrance."
Scott sat back in the driver's seat, and under the command of the female agent, the car fell into the alley, and in a haze, Schiller felt that he was being dragged out of the car, and in a trance, he saw a sewer entrance appear in front of him.
Even though he was already delirious, he said, "I didn't expect your base to be in the sewers, and this is not the time for you to call spies moles, are you? Sewer pests?"
The female agent angrily slammed the wall, he looked at the driver next to him and said, "He's so weak that he hasn't forgotten to curse?!" Are all psychologists like him? People are dying, and their mouths are still hard?!"
"Calm down, Laurena, I hope that's the case with him during his interrogation
Lots of words." After the driver finished coldly, he opened the entrance to the sewer, and the group entered the sewer.
They had barely walked for two minutes when a dark figure appeared above the wall of the alley.
When Batman first jumped down, he didn't notice anything unusual in the alley, because all traces had been cleared, and like all dark alleys in Gotham, there was a broken car parked in the middle of the gloomy road.
However, the positioning device attached to Schiller's raincoat shows that the destination is here, and Batman jumped off the roof of the car only to realize that something was wrong, this alley is too clean.
Everyone knows that in a city like Gotham, it is difficult to expect anyone to have a sense of public morality, and the vast majority of people will not care about driving or walking, whether they will step on the flowers and plants on the side of the road, and will not deliberately clean up their muddy footprints.
However, in this alley, not only are there no footprints on and off the bus, but there are no traces of destruction on the weeds on the ground and moss on the road, which is not something that those five big and three rough truck drivers can do.
Batman often heard the owners of certain taverns describe Gotham's truck drivers as one steamroller after another, and wherever he goes, he will make a mess there, and Batman, who has lived in the slums for a while, knows that they are right, and it is definitely too much to expect these people to be clean and tidy.
However, although there was a half-new pickup truck parked here, there was no trace of carrying goods, no footprints, no drunken vomit, no coughed up sputum, not even a cigarette butt, no matter how you look at it, it is very suspicious.
There is no place for people to hide in this alley, and the most striking thing is the sewer manhole cover, Batman walked over and found that the moss on the edge of the manhole cover showed no signs of destruction, but that doesn't mean that no one has touched it.
Batman alone knows that there are at least three ways to move bricks or manhole covers without destroying moss and weeds.
Finding that there might be a problem with the manhole cover, he did not rush to open the manhole cover directly, but put a night vision monitoring device tied to a wire along the ventilation port of the manhole cover.
Pulling out a screen from his belt, Batman saw that the situation in the sewers was not unexpected, it was filled with dense ice and there was no place for people to walk.
Batman narrowed his eyes, controlled the camera to turn left and right, and then saw a very hidden little red dot in the darkness and ice.
He zoomed in on the camera and found that there appeared to be a power distribution room hidden behind the ice, and at this time, a device was flashing red.
Gotham's sewer system is very large and complex, and when the flood first came, not every place was broken through at the first time, and there were some functional rooms with better quality built later, but there was only a little water seepage, and the ice was not thick enough to accommodate it.
The only question is, how exactly did they get in? Batman frowned and began to think.
The distribution room was separated from the sewer manhole cover and a thick layer of dense ice, and Batman didn't think they had the ability to break it, and even if they could, it would be impossible to restore it to its original state.
Confirming that there was no danger below, Batman put away the monitoring equipment, opened the manhole cover, and jumped down himself.
When flooded, the water rushing into the passage was wavy, and when it froze, there was space under the manhole cover for Batman.
After he jumped down, he realized that not only was there a space above the ice, but there was also a very narrow gap on the side, right next to the power distribution room, because of the moment the water was frozen, there was no water, and there was no ice.
Sliding towards the narrow gap on the side, to the bottom, Batman realized that a hole had been dug in it.
The wall at the crack in the door of the distribution room was dug open, and there was a hole in the side of the wall that was diagonally facing downward, just enough for one person to pass through, and under the cover of the ice, it was not visible from near the mouth of the sewer.
Looking at the nearby support structure, Batman understood this, a hole was not dug in a day or two, and the FBI had already done this in order to control Gotham
?
Batman turned on the flashlight and walked in, but the more he walked inside, the more Batman felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that the soil under Gotham is not so strong, and if you want to dig such a long tunnel, you must use various wooden or metal structures to support the tunnel.
However, the road is very intact, without any support, but it has not collapsed at all, and Batman reaches out and touches the wall of the underground passage, and finds that it is very dry, if not at all.
This is almost impossible in a city with abundant groundwater, rain every once in a while, and poor drainage.
Batman immediately raised his vigilance, because he knew that with his level of engineering so far, it was almost impossible to do it, in such a deep underground, to make such a long passage, without any support structure without collapsing, without any waterproof measures and completely without water seepage, he couldn't do it, and the FBI naturally couldn't do it.
Continuing along the passage, we came to another exit road, where there was still a thick layer of ice, but there were still gaps that led to another passage that continued downward.
When Batman's figure disappeared into the dark passage, Schiller's eyes suddenly appeared bright, and he was led by the agents, walked around for an unknown amount of time, and finally came back to a room with light.
He was taken to a chair in the center of the room, then looked up at the agent and said, "When will my medicine arrive?" I hope you'd better move faster, I mean, if I get back in shape as soon as I can, you can get me on a plane out of here, otherwise ......."
Schiller shook his head, and then said weakly, "You will make so many tunnels under Gotham because you can't attack the city from the ground, which means that you know how dangerous it is."
"I have to warn you that if you want to get me out of this city, there is a very good chance that you will be in great danger...... Ahem......" Schiller gasped a few more times and continued, "I hope that in the rest of the journey, you can trust me, and only I can take you out of here, otherwise...... cough cough cough ......"
"Hurry up and get him some medicine." The female agent spoke, "He's already talking nonsense...... Listen, Mr. Rodriguez, we're going to take you away from here, because it's not a place to be interrogated."
"But where we want to go, where we want to go, it's up to us to decide, you're just a prisoner now."
"You might as well take a quick and deep breath to relieve your symptoms, your heart rate is on the verge of danger." The female agent stepped forward, checked Schiller's pupils, looked at the readings on the device he wore on his wrist to monitor his heart rate, and shook her head.
She took two steps back and said to the two agents next to her, "Call the agents who went to get the medicine again, tell them to hurry up, by the way, prepare some drugs to lower blood pressure and stabilize the heart rate, we can't let him die here......
"Boom! Rumble! Boom!"
Loud noises and tremors came from a very close distance from the room, and in an instant, everyone was a little unsteady, and the chair on which Schiller was sitting was directly shaken to the ground.
"What's going on?!! Something is ringing?!! Female Agent Lorenna looked around, and one of them shouted, "It looks like the sound of an engineering explosion, someone blowing up a sewer!"
Schiller got up from the ground, half-knelt on the spot to recover his strength, then gritted his teeth and said, "Take me out of here, this place is collapsing, we can't run, don't tell me, when you hit the rat hole, you didn't even prepare an emergency passage......
As if she had just reacted, Lorena said, "Oh, yes, hold him, let's go through the back door, let's go!"
Just as the agent was about to walk towards the back door with Schiller, Schiller broke free of them, staggered against the wall, pointed to the center of the room with his eyes closed, and said, "Make a fire...... Make a fire...... Hurry up and !!."
"What are you going to do? Get out of here!!" Lorenna shouted anxiously, looking up at the ceiling and saying, "It's going to collapse!"
"Hurry up and light !!!"
Lorenna and a couple of agents stepped forward and sent it
Now she really couldn't drag Schiller, so she had no choice but to dismantle the wooden chair and light a fire with starter powder.
In the thick smoke, Schiller choked and coughed, but he took off his raincoat, took off his watch, and threw all the extra accessories on his body, except for his tie, into the fire.
When Batman followed the blasted passage to this room, he found that Schiller was not here, and the signal tracking Schiller's location had completely disappeared.
