Chapter 109 He broke his own hand.
Cheng Gan's body was tense like a bow. She lowered her voice and said, "What should we do? Even if we sneak in, there's a chance we'll alert them. What if they use the hostages as shields? There are only two of us; we can't handle it."
Zhou Jue certainly understood this principle.
Despite her burning desire to kill, she remained rational. Her imprisoned compatriots were her purpose in coming here, not something to be sacrificed.
"We need to remove their 'eyes' and 'teeth' first."
"The eyes are the monitoring room on the seventh floor of Building A. The teeth are the weapons in the warehouse and the patrolling guards," Cheng Gan quickly replied, his thoughts crystal clear.
"But the question is, how can we do all this at the same time without alerting anyone?"
The office on the seventh floor of Building A has a combination lock, fingerprint recognition, and two elite guards at the door.
The warehouse was secured with three large locks.
Even if they have invisibility talismans and can sneak to the door without anyone noticing, once they start breaking down the door or attacking the guards, it will inevitably make a commotion.
The consequences would be unimaginable at that point.
The two fell into a brief silence. Just then, the old tree's loud and boisterous voice rang out in Zhou Jue's mind again.
"Hey! Little girl, why are you so single-minded? Just like the Chaos Beast I used to arm wrestle with back in the day, all you do is grow tall but not smart!"
The old tree's voice was full of disdain.
"Look at the two of you, sitting here discussing this for ages, pulling teeth and gouging out eyes, it's such a hassle!"
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Zhou Jue replied inwardly, annoyed. She had no time to argue with this old man.
"What should we do?" The old tree's branches rustled loudly in the secret box space, sounding like a storyteller banging his gavel.
"Have you ever caught rats? Did you use traps to catch them one by one, or did you hit them one by one with a stick? Neither! Find a rat hole, pour some poison in, and smoke them out! No matter if they're male or female, big or small, you can wipe them all out! That's called changing the environment, do you understand?"
Change the environment...
wiped out in one fell swoop...
Zhou Jue's mind felt like it had been struck by lightning!
yes!
Why should I engage in stealth assassinations with them and take them out one by one?
I can directly change the "environment" of this entire park!
She pulled something out of the storage area.
A silver-white metal can, only the size of a palm, with no markings on it except for a red button.
This thing was one of the "spoils" I plucked from a tech park back in the post-apocalyptic world.
Highly concentrated hypnotic gas
[Colorless and odorless, it spreads through the air, takes effect in three seconds, and can put an adult giant rhinoceros into a deep sleep within ten seconds, with the effect lasting for two hours. It causes no permanent damage to humans.]
At the time, Zhou Jue held the belief that "it will come in handy sooner or later," so he took many things he encountered along the way, and this was one of them.
Unexpectedly, it became the key to breaking the deadlock today!
"Senior, you are truly my lucky star!" Zhou Jue sincerely praised the old tree in his heart.
"That's right! Back in the day, my old buddy..." Old Tree was about to start talking again.
"Stop! After I finish my business, I'll pour a bucket of spiritual spring water on you as a thank you!" Zhou Jue decisively interrupted its boasting and brought his attention back to reality.
She held the metal can in her hand and said to Cheng Gan, "Sister Cheng Gan, I have an idea."
She briefly explained the function of the hypnotic gas.
A look of surprise appeared on Cheng Gan's face: "What do you need me to do?"
“We need to change our plan. The first step is…” Zhou Jue’s thoughts suddenly became crystal clear.
After listening, Cheng Gan replied without hesitation, "Okay. Let's do it that way."
With the plan set, the two decided not to delay any longer.
Using the invisibility and concealment talismans, they once again stealthily sneaked back into Building A.
This time, their target was clear—the seventh floor.
At the entrance to the stairwell leading to the seventh floor, the two guards still stood ramrod straight.
Zhou Jue and Cheng Gan arrived quietly outside the monitoring room without alerting them.
Zhou Jue listened intently, and what came through was a man's foul and obscene language.
"Damn it, it's the two of us on duty again. Keep a close eye on things tonight, don't let anything go wrong. We'll switch shifts tomorrow, and you can go out and have some fun!"
"Haha, Brother Qian is treating! That's great! I heard that 'Flying Dragon' next door got a new batch of goods, let's go have some fun tomorrow!"
Now!
Zhou Jue pulled out the safety pin from the hypnotic gas canister, calculated the angle, and flicked his finger.
The small metal can traced a silent parabola, flew precisely into the crack of the window, and landed on the thick carpet without making a sound.
"hiss--"
The slight sound of dejection was perfectly masked by the curses.
The laughter and shouting inside continued.
"Damn it, the moment I mention treating you, you..."
The sound abruptly stopped.
"Clang."
The dull thuds of people falling to the ground came one after another.
Three seconds.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds later, the monitoring room fell silent.
Zhou Jue and Cheng Gan put on the gas masks they had prepared beforehand and cleverly climbed in through the window.
Inside the room, two men lay sprawled in front of the monitor, fast asleep like logs.
On the wall, a whole row of monitors displayed images of every corner of the park.
It was a success!
Step one, perfectly achieved!
Next, the two split up, with Zhou Jue in charge of Building A and Cheng Gan in charge of Building B. Their goal was to cover the entire building with hypnotic gas.
Zhou Jue started from the sixth floor and penetrated down the floors one by one.
She silently installed two gas cylinders in the stairwell of each floor and set them to activate simultaneously after thirty seconds.
After doing all this, she quietly retreated and met up with Cheng Gan in the lobby on the first floor.
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhou Jue pressed the master remote control in his hand.
"hiss--"
A colorless and odorless gas silently spread from the stairwells on each floor, seeping into every room through door cracks and vents.
In the work area, those "piglet" who were numbly typing on their keyboards were the first to react.
Their movements gradually slowed down, their eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and then one by one they collapsed onto the keyboard.
The thugs who patrolled back and forth, though physically stronger, were no match for the power of this high-tech equipment.
"Damn, why am I feeling a little sleepy..."
One of the thugs shook his head, and before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground.
The chaos lasted less than a minute.
The entire building fell into a deathly silence.
Meanwhile, the two split up again and efficiently dealt with the outdoor patrol team and the rooftop sentry.
After doing all this, the two put on gas masks and went up the stairs.
They needed to confirm the safety of every compatriot and drag out all the unconscious thugs, tie them up together, and wait for their fate.
Second floor, third floor... everything went smoothly.
Those compatriots who had fallen asleep even had a hint of peaceful relief on their faces.
As for those scumbags, Zhou Jue dragged them one by one into the stairwell like dead dogs.
However, when she reached the fourth floor, an accident occurred.
One of the overseers, who seemed to have an unusual constitution, was still not completely asleep.
He leaned against the wall, shaking his head frantically, his eyes unfocused, but his remaining will made him realize that something was wrong.
It was so quiet around there. There was no sound of keyboards, no cursing, no footsteps, nothing at all!
He struggled, reaching out with trembling hands to press the red alarm button on the wall.
Zhou Jue flashed forward, preparing to deliver a finishing chop.
But at that moment, the foreman made a move that surprised even Zhou Jue.
He seemed to realize that he couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness.
The instinct for survival and the inherent ferocity within them erupted completely at this moment.
He suddenly raised his left hand and stared intently at the sharp metal corner of the desk next to him.
Then, with the last bit of strength in his body, he slammed the back of his hand down hard!
"Crack!"
The sound of bones cracking was particularly jarring in the silent building.
Excruciating pain!
The unparalleled pain instantly triggered his central nervous system!
The drowsiness that was almost swallowing him up was forcibly torn open by the excruciating pain.
His eyes instantly regained a sliver of clarity, becoming bloodshot as he stared intently at the empty air before him!
