Chapter 245 Morse Code
"Are you done yet? What took you so long?"
Lao Zheng was stirring the last pot of soup when another person came out and asked.
"It's ready. The tenderest tenderloin is used here. It was specially ordered from the second floor."
Lao Zheng scooped the last bit of meat and soup from the big iron pot into another pot, and then handed it to the person who had just walked out.
After the pot of meat was delivered to the second floor, the other people who were gathered outside the mall came over with their bowls to scoop up the broth.
After dividing the meat, Lao Zheng took a few knives and went to a stone nearby to sharpen them.
He is a chef and he usually has to chop meat and sharpen knives, which is normal, so no one bothers him.
The expression on his face was unusually calm as he sharpened the knife, but his trembling hands still betrayed him.
He was not afraid at all, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He was excited as he was about to kill his enemy!
...
After that person left, Han Ying and Lu Yuan did not stay there any longer.
They took a detour and came to the building behind the mall.
They were worried that there might be someone patrolling behind the mall and they would be discovered if they went over.
So the two of them planned to climb over to the building behind the mall from another building.
Standing on a high place and wearing night vision goggles, Han Ying took out a set of zipline rappelling tools from her backpack and placed them on the ground.
"Let's go together. I'm worried about you being alone."
Lu Yuan held Han Ying's hand. Although he knew that Han Ying had learned it before, he was still worried.
"Even if we go together, I will still go down. It would be better for you to stay in the space and I will let you out after I go over there."
"Then let's go together."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan picked up the rope-shooting gun on the ground and shot at the wall of the opposite building.
He said that he would not let Han Ying face it alone, but he hid in the space.
The steel wire rope was nailed firmly to the opposite side, fixing this side. Lu Yuan put on his equipment, nodded to Han Ying, and went down first.
Lu Yuan successfully landed on the 10th floor balcony of the building opposite, then turned on the screen of his mobile phone and waved to the opposite side.
Han Ying received the signal, put on her equipment, touched her hair to make sure that none of her hair was flying around and causing tangles, then she put on her hat and gloves and slid to the other side.
After landing, he took off his equipment, pulled the auxiliary rope, and reeled in the main rope and put it into the backpack.
The windows of these office buildings were damaged during the tsunami, and since no one lives there, no one repairs the windows.
The two men stepped in through the window, climbed up two floors and reached the 12th floor.
Take out the binoculars and look down at the mall.
There were no street lights behind the mall and it was pitch black.
However, through the night vision telescope, you can still see someone walking over there.
They should be on patrol, but there are not many people on patrol, only two.
Two people were patrolling over there chatting.
You can faintly hear the noise coming from the open space in the shopping mall, as if there is a carnival.
Before the middle-aged man left, Han Ying specifically told him to find a way to make noise, and it seems he succeeded.
The man before said that the soldiers went up the stairs to the room on the far left.
The two found the room using a telescope, and Lu Yuan determined the angle.
Without wasting any time, Han Ying sorted the equipment in her backpack.
Lu Yuan took out the rope shooting gun from his bag again and shot the steel wire rope towards the wall whose position had been determined.
There was a dull sound when the hook was stuck in the wall, but because there was a party going on below, no one noticed the sound at all.
I looked through the telescope at the two patrolmen below. They were still standing together and chatting.
When Lu Yuan hammered the steel wire rope into the wall, the eyes of the 18 soldiers imprisoned on the 5th floor lit up.
Although the sound was largely masked by the revelry below, it was too close to them so they could still hear it.
As soldiers who have participated in many rescue operations, they naturally know where that voice came from.
Suddenly half of the soldiers rolled in that direction, while the other half rolled towards the door.
That’s right, just get out.
Those refugees dared to detain 18 soldiers in the same room, so they must have something to rely on.
Their mouths were wrapped with smelly strips of cloth, and because they were worried that they might be hiding weapons, they were stripped of all their clothes.
Each of their hands and feet were tied tightly with cloth strips, like mummies, with not even a finger exposed.
Moreover, there was not even a corner in the room, so they couldn't find a place to rub the strips of cloth even if they wanted to.
All the rope-untying skills they had learned before were useless.
When they rolled under the window, the soldiers leaned on the bodies of other comrades and managed to stand up.
But that’s all.
Lu Yuan was the first to go down again, and landed next to the air-conditioning unit, but the air-conditioning unit was no longer in place.
Next to the air conditioner was a window with glass on it. Lu Yuan wore night vision goggles and looked inside.
The thick curtains covered the entire window, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
The moment Lu Yuan landed, the soldiers who were in other buildings and keeping an eye on the mall all stood up straight.
"Base Commander, someone has sneaked into the fifth floor of the mall."
They were keeping an eye on the mall all the time, but since they didn't know where the hostages were being held, they could only wait for an opportunity before taking action.
Unexpectedly, before they found an opportunity to take action, someone had already taken the lead.
"Did you see who it was?"
Kozin took the telescope and asked.
"I couldn't see clearly. He was wearing a hat and a mask, and was wrapped up tightly."
...
The air conditioner space was not big, so when Han Ying slid down, the two of them could only stand sideways.
Unable to see what was going on inside, the two men did not dare to rush in.
He first put the equipment into the backpack, and then Lu Yuan raised his hand and knocked on the window rhythmically for a while.
Several soldiers guarding the window heard the knocking on the window, but they didn't react at first.
But when the knocks were made again outside, someone had already recognized it.
··-··-····-··
Tick-t ...
This is Morse code, which means we are one.
After Lu Yuan knocked for the second time, someone inside bumped into the wall in response.
Breaking the window violently might attract other people's attention, but the two had many tools.
Han Ying took out a set of round glass cutting knives from her backpack.
Lu Yuan's direction was easier to operate, so Han Ying gave him the tools.
Lu Yuan used a cutting knife to draw a circle on the glass, then took out a suction cup and removed the entire round piece of glass.
He put away the glass and raised his hand to open the curtain inside.
His face darkened when he saw what was inside.
