Chapter 36: The Escape (1)
Before leaving, Liu Mengwei suddenly made a request to her. Alice, probably in a good mood because she had just won a crushing victory, said yes.
The door opened, and a man in a white coat, a pair of black-framed glasses and a blue mask walked in, he stretched out his slender fingers to pinch the things on the tray in his hand, and a small bone china dish as warm as jade was handed to Liu Mengwei.
This piece of chocolate cake with a tangy aroma is served on top.
Liu Mengwei slowly stretched out her hand to him, but instead of taking the saucer, she slowly slid along his fingers onto the back of her hand. This person's hand bones are distinct, cold and stiff, but the moment it touched him, Liu Mengwei still felt that the hand seemed to tremble. Her hand was colder than this one, and even the slightest temperature made her want to get closer.
"Can you feed me?" She looked at the eyes behind the lenses like a fawn lost in the swamp.
The man froze in place, not speaking or moving.
"I don't have the strength anymore, I haven't eaten in three days." Her voice was plaintive like that of a kitten, and it was hard to refuse.
She could feel the warmth of the blood running over the back of her hand, and her fingers trembled againβhe was about to start moving, and he agreed.
But Liu Mengwei gently pushed his wrist at this time, guiding the dish in front of the man. He had already picked up the fork next to the dish and dug out a piece of cake, but he was looking in the direction of sending it to his own mouth.
"I'm going to eat it all." There is an irresistible magic in her voice.
Liu Meng stood up unhurriedly and walked unhurriedly towards the door. Although the drum had begun to beat in her heart, she knew that the more critical the situation, the more she could not mess with herself.
She had been brought here blindfolded, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she appeared in the cage-like room. Therefore, she had no idea where she was now, what the guards were here, and where the exit was.
It wouldn't take them a few minutes to find out that she had escaped, and the camera in the room that kept flashing its lights must have caught her intentions before she even stepped out of the door. Now there should be people waiting for the rabbits at each exit, and there are already a lot of footsteps at the end of the corridor.
You have to find a place to hide! But she didn't know anything about this place, so where was she going to hide?
Just as she was trying to find an exit and fumbling to open each door, a long shadow suddenly appeared on the wall in front of her, and there was someone in front of her! What to do? She hasn't found a hiding place yet! Could it be that this hard work is about to end in failure?
At this moment, a figure had quietly appeared behind her, holding her waist with one hand and covering her mouth with the other, and before she could react, she was dragged into the shadows. Not to mention that she is now mentally sluggish and weak, even if she is healthy and engrossed now, I am afraid that she will not be able to avoid the impermanence like a ghost.
"Don't move." The person behind him had a sweet smell of chocolate, and the words he said had a hint of intoxicating power.
He dragged her into a small hidden door, which was dimly lit and narrow, and at his feet was a dark hole, from which a dark wind rushed up, and it looked like it should be a ventilation shaft in the underground space.
She suddenly felt the strength in her hands loosen a little. Liu Meng turned his neck slightly, wanting to look at the person behind him, this familiar voice, familiar shape, there would be no mistake.
"Why are you here?" Hearing his voice again, Liu Meng's slightly tense body unconsciously relaxed.
"Just passing by." His mask was stained with chocolate cream, no wonder it smelled so good.
Seeing this, Liu Mengwei thought of the situation where he had fooled him into eating cake just now, and couldn't help but feel funny, but he quickly regretted it again. If I knew it was him, I shouldn't have wasted that chocolate cake, I should have eaten it first and then run away, so I wouldn't be dizzy when I moved now.
Hungry people are extremely sensitive to the taste of food. Liu Meng unconsciously leaned into his arms again, sniffing gently like a small animal.
"Hello...... Incense ......"
Wen Qiao's body stiffened instantly, and his face was slightly hot, but fortunately he was still wearing a mask, which simply saved his life.
He coughed lightly, pretending not to hear, trying to push her away. But as soon as he lowered his head and saw her weak appearance now, he finally couldn't bear it, so he had to let her lean on himself.
"After 5 minutes, there will be an explosion in the distribution room here, the power system will be cut off, and after you get out of here, go left, and the first fork in the road you come across will go to the left, and the second fork will go to the right, and then you will go all the way to the end, and there is a door there, and behind the door is an escape patio that leads to the ground, and you go out from there."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to fetch something, you get out of here first."
"No, I can't stand still, I can't escape alone." Liu Mengwei tugged at his sleeve, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
It is strange that when people are faced with a desperate situation, they can often give birth to the courage to see everything and the courage to move forward, but once they see hope, they begin to be cautious, think twice at a time, and look forward and backward, for fear that one accidentally will burst the bubble of hope. It turns out that she is not exempt from vulgarity.
"In that case, why did you bother to run out just now?" Wen Qiao couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"You can't just sit back and do nothing, it's not my style." Liu Mengwei began to hate herself as cowardly and incompetent.
"And what are you going to do?" Wen Qiao asked rhetorically.
"I'll be waiting for you right here. I really can't run anymore, so I might as well just let me rest here. β
"It's fine." Wen Qiao opened the door a crack, and now there is no one in the corridor outside.
After closing the door again, Wen Qiao took out a small and delicate thing from the inside pocket of the trench coat and put it in her hand.
Liu Mengwei held the thing in her hand, and the cold touch of metal spread in the palm of her hand. When she looked in front of her, she couldn't help but be taken aback, what Wen Qiao stuffed into her turned out to be a silver pistol.
"It's ...... Browning M1906? β
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Qiao's eyes, she didn't expect her to recognize the model of the firearm, but she still asked, "Will it be used?" β
Liu Meng nodded slightly.
"Browning 6.35 mm automatic pistol with an effective range of 25 meters. It can be loaded with 6 rounds, and now it is loaded, and it will fire automatically by opening the safety next to the trigger. Although she said this, Wen Qiao still repeated the main points of use.
"You only have 6 chances, save a little."
"After the power goes out, you go back to the room you used to stay in until I come looking for you."
The most dangerous place is the safest place, although Liu Mengwei resisted in her heart, she nodded silently.
Wen Qiao looked at his watch again, and about 30 seconds later, the timed miniature bomb he had placed in the power distribution room would explode.
β10γ9γ8γ7β¦β¦β
β3γ2γ1β¦β¦β
The watch vibrated slightly, and the countdown reset to zero. But the environment has not changed, the lights in the corridor outside are still bright, and the emergency lights are not on.
Seeing Wen Qiao frowning slightly, Liu Mengwei also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
He made a taboo that he shouldn't add another task to a task at the same time. Unless you are extremely lucky and face a mediocre opponent with little experience, it is possible to achieve a perfect ending like killing two birds with one stone. But most of the time, greed will only end up empty, not only will the originally well-planned tasks be destroyed, but the temporarily increased goals will not be completed.
Obviously, the opponent he encountered this time was not so easy to deal with, and the first time he knew that there was an intruder, he chose to protect the key facilities instead of searching for the intruder.
This is indeed a trick. The entrances and exits of the underground space are very limited, and finding a person is as easy as catching a turtle in an urn, and there is no need to rush at all.
"It's fine." Wen Qiao quickly adjusted and said lightly: "Just go another way." β
He took off the white coat on his body, put it on Liu Mengwei, and asked, "Can you still drive?" β
Liu Mengwei nodded.
"That's good." He took off the name tag that hung on his chest and brought it to her.
"You use this work card to take the elevator up to the second basement floor, find room 8, and unplug the black USB flash drive from the last row of computers and take it away. I'll distract all the security personnel, and the rest of them won't have much combat power, but it's going to be easy to subdue you. So, you'd better not let them find out. β
Wen Qiao tidied up her long scattered hair for her, and took out a piece of rope out of nowhere, and helped her tie her hair back together in three or two clicks, revealing a face that was still bright and moving without powder.
In the end, putting on the black-rimmed glasses on her face, Liu Mengwei looked more like a scientific researcher full of wisdom.
"And then?" Liu Mengwei asked.
"If all goes well, you can go straight from the elevator back to the ground and look for a chance to get out of here. If the elevator doesn't work, or if someone finds out they're trying to stop you, you'll have to find a way to get to the end of the corridor on the 2nd basement floor. There is a storage room there. There is a passage on the wall of the storage room, and it is usually through this passage that things are brought in directly from this passage for the convenience of transporting supplies. I've broken the outside lock ahead of time, so if you get one step ahead of them, you can lock the door to the storage room inside and give yourself time to escape. β
"There are a couple of trucks parked outside, and it's the master key that can start most of the brands of trucks on the market." As he spoke, Wen Qiao gave her another car key.
"Wait, you say...... Truck? Liu Meng looked at him with wide eyes.
"Now is not the time to pick and choose."
Liu Mengwei couldn't cry or laugh: "But I can't drive a truck!" β
"In fact, the difference is not too big, and the operating logic is the same." This didn't seem to be a problem to Wen Qiao, but Liu Mengwei wanted to cry without tears, she could only smile bitterly: "I'm afraid that before I can escape, I will have a car accident first." β
"If you don't want to drive, you can just think of a way to get out."
Liu Mengwei was speechless for a while, the plan had been clearly planned, and if it could not be implemented, it could only be her own problem. Liu Mengwei could only secretly pray that everything would go well.
"Let's get started." Wen Qiao's hand was on the doorknob.
