RPAGF Chapter 74 Underground Isolation Room
Chapter 74 Underground Isolation Room
Having obtained information about the underground isolation room, the six of them didn't delay and quickly went downstairs, returning to the corner of the underground parking garage where they had initially hidden. Zhang Hao's soldiers also found Lu Yuan and his group's car and returned to the same corner to await Zhang Hao's next instructions.
"If we can't rescue anyone by 5 a.m. tomorrow, we'll have to leave." Zhang Hao is a very experienced special forces soldier. This G City base is much smaller than the bases in other provincial capitals he knows, and there are fewer than 10,000 survivors. If they don't leave by daybreak, it will be difficult for them to hide in this base.
“I agree with your opinion.” Lu Yuan spoke up at this moment, after all, Zhang Hao’s purpose was fundamentally different from theirs. “If we fail to rescue anyone, you should lead the team away directly. If Captain Fei or Captain Ji also come with you to the Huaxi Base, then you should take all those vehicles.”
“Xiao Yuan is right, and you don’t need to take the risk with us,” Gu Nanfeng said as he opened his phone and began to draw a simple map based on the base floor plan he had seen at the research institute. “But we also know that you definitely need to go to the underground isolation room. After all, it is your responsibility to see what they are doing and to get the information out.”
"It's really easy talking to smart people," Zhang Hao smiled, then looked at Pei Sihao, "What about you? Are you coming with me?"
"No, I have to go save Captain Qin and Captain Lin. We're a team." Pei Sihao knew that Zhang Hao was also worried about him. After all, if they hadn't run into each other, it would have been fine, but if they had, he couldn't ignore his safety.
"Alright, if it works out, we'll go together. If not, I'll wait for you in that villa area for two days." After they finished speaking, they waited for Gu Nanfeng to finish drawing the simple map.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Nanfeng finished drawing a simple map. From their current location to the entrance of the corridor that the soldiers found when they were looking for the car, which was suspected to lead to the underground isolation room, it was not far. However, there were always two people on guard at that entrance.
"Lu Xiaoyuan, do you have any sleeping pills or anything like that?" Zhong Qiang asked Lu Yuan, turning to look at the map.
"Looking, looking..." Lu Yuan buried his head in his backpack, seemingly rummaging through it, but actually hiding to search for his spatial panel.
"Ideally, there would be one of those injections that, with just one slap, would make an African elephant sleep for three days," Yang Xiao joked. "When I watched Animal World before, I really wanted to find someone to get one and try it out."
“You know what, there really is one…” Lu Yuan looked up from his backpack and took out two animal tranquilizer guns.
"How did you get this..." Zhang Hao was a little puzzled. When he left, he thought Lu Yuan's backpack was too big. He thought it was unnecessary to bring so much stuff and it would delay the operation, especially when climbing the stairs. Zhong Qiang and Gu Nanfeng were taking turns carrying it. He didn't expect that there would be a tranquilizer gun in the backpack.
“We came from the university town.” Yang Xiao proudly raised his head. “There’s nothing the school doesn’t have, including this in the animal husbandry lab.”
Yang Xiao's lie made Lu Yuan too embarrassed to respond. Pei Sihao and Zhang Hao each took a tranquilizer gun, since they were the best marksmen at the moment.
Zhang Hao's team still didn't follow them. He ordered the soldiers to find a safe place to hide, and if he didn't come out by the appointed time, they should take the people who were leaving and drive away in those vehicles. He also ordered them not to linger in the villa area, but to go directly to meet up with the advance troops returning to the Huaxi base.
After taking stock and checking the time, it was already 11:30 p.m. After separating from the soldiers, Zhang Hao led the way, with Zhong Qiang bringing up the rear, and the group moved to the guarded passageway.
Sure enough, there were two armed men guarding the entrance, but judging from their figures, they knew that these two men were not soldiers, but probably the guards that Ji Yang and his group had mentioned.
Indeed, if those imprisoned here are all military soldiers, and they are imprisoned on grounds that cannot convince the public, only a fool would let other soldiers guard them.
Zhang Hao and Pei Sihao aimed at the two men, about to fire, when Gu Nanfeng stopped them, saying, "Wait another thirty minutes."
Sure enough, when midnight arrived, several people in white coats walked out of the building, taking off their heavy protective suits as they went.
Lu Yuan realized that the leader was Professor Lin. They had all seen him before, but he looked very unwell. The researcher next to him kept talking to him, but he just waved his hand impatiently.
A few minutes after the group left, a patrol team arrived, and the two people who had been guarding the door switched shifts with the two people in the team.
After the patrol team had moved a distance away, Gu Nanfeng nodded to Zhang Hao and Pei Sihao. The two quickly raised their guns and aimed. Then, two anesthetic darts were fired with two "whoosh" sounds, hitting the two people at the entrance of the building.
Before the two could react, they collapsed limply. Although they were still somewhat conscious, they were unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Lu Yuan and his six companions dragged them into the stairwell and positioned them against the door, blocking the emergency exit.
From the small window outside the door, you can see the two people sitting against the door. If nothing unexpected happens, at least the patrol team will think that the two of them are resting inside the door when they come by next time.
"Damn, if this is the only exit, I'm in danger." After coming in, Zhang Hao suddenly realized that if there was no other exit and these two were discovered by their teammates, how could he escape and rejoin his team?
"Don't worry, there's an exhaust pipe. You can use it to get back to the parking lot, and we can hide there too," Pei Sihao laughed. "Didn't you even look at the map?"
"That map is like a simple line drawing; I'm lucky I could even figure out the way I came," Zhang Hao said with a sour face, and continued walking forward.
To be honest, Lu Yuan and the others didn't notice that Gu Nanfeng's map included this escape route.
As the six of them descended, Lu Yuan began to noticeably feel the temperature dropping. They were all wearing short-sleeved T-shirts and shorts, except for Yang Xiao, who was wearing an extra sun-protective shirt, which he had just used to wrap Ji Yang's head.
"Are we not far from the freezer now?" After going down another floor, not only were Lu Yuan and Yang Xiao huddled together for warmth, but even the PE student Zhong Qiang couldn't help but start rubbing his arms. If it weren't for Zhang Hao, the group would probably have already asked Lu Yuan to bring out thick clothes from his space to wear. They suddenly regretted bringing this guy along.
"There's a door ahead." Zhang Hao's voice trembled slightly. Fortunately, they finally saw a door that looked like it led to the isolation room. Now they really hoped it wouldn't be so cold behind that door.
"As expected." Gu Nanfeng and his group did not approach the door for the time being, but observed from a distance. Even if the base was short of electricity, they would never conserve electricity in a place like this. Therefore, the surveillance cameras in this area must be on, and they might even be human body sensors. If they went any closer, they would trigger an alarm.
"With such tight security, I'm even more suspicious that some kind of inhumane experiment is being conducted here." Zhang Hao took a deep breath to control his body, which was about to tremble.
"Let's take a gamble..."
