"Zhang Jianzhou!" I roared repeatedly.
But there was no sound outside, so Zhang Jianzhou must have already left the research institute.
He brought me here to kill me, but he failed and instead imprisoned me.
He definitely wants to lock me up here and let me starve to death.
I called out several times, but there was no response outside. Zhang Jianzhou must have really left.
What should I do now?
I pushed the security door in front of me. It was very sturdy. It was simply a pipe dream for a mere mortal like me to try and break through it.
I rummaged through my belongings and found only a dagger. The equipment I had brought earlier was actually in the car and I didn't have it with me. I only had a pistol and some magazines on me.
I picked up the machete on the ground; the flashlight was broken and wouldn't light up.
There were no windows or exits in the entire house, and once the door was closed, there wasn't even a crack!
I took out my lighter from my pocket, lit a tiny flame, and the faint light illuminated a small area around me.
Zhang Jianzhou has definitely left this place and won't come back to release me. Since he's determined to keep me here, he must want to keep me locked up until I die!
Honestly, I don't have any firearms on me right now. If I can't leave this place, I might really starve to death here.
I took the lighter and went to the edge of the security door, then stuck the dagger into the crack in the door, then extinguished the lighter and pulled hard.
After a few creaking sounds, I pulled the dagger out from the crack in the door and found that the tip of the blade was slightly bent, while the entire security door remained completely still.
Come to think of it, if a key could open a security door so easily, what would be the point of having security doors at all?
A small knife won't work, and a large knife certainly won't work either.
I checked my body again, but there was really nothing left on me.
There was only one car key left.
The car key didn't match the security door in front of me; it wouldn't open.
"Am I really going to starve to death here?"
I can hardly believe it!
I pulled up a stool and sat down, rubbing my arm which was still sore from the fall, while thinking about how to get out of this dark pharmacy.
It's impossible to break down the security door. No matter how hard I try, I probably won't be able to break it down. After all, I don't have superpowers.
I closed my eyes; my mind was a bit muddled.
Thinking back, everything that happened from Zhang Jianzhou's appearance in the morning to his pleading with me to leave was exactly as I expected. And most importantly, the pill he was supposed to take tomorrow morning was still on me!
Why would he risk everything to try and kill him?
Does this guy have a death wish?
That's impossible! If he didn't want to live, he could just go and die himself, why would he drag me into it! Or has he already gotten the medicine?
My brows furrowed; it seemed that only this possibility could explain why he treated me this way.
He probably thought he already had the drug, and that as long as he killed me and took the last pill from me, he wouldn't have any worries.
He's locking me up here because he's sure I can't get out. That's why he's doing this. He'll come back in a few days when I'm starving to death and take the last pill from me.
His plan was indeed quite well-thought-out.
But I won't let him have his way, no matter if my guess is true or not, I won't let him have his way.
I took the pill out of my pocket, threw it on the ground, stomped on it hard, and then rubbed it with my foot a few times until it turned into powder, blending into the dust on the ground.
Although all of this is just my speculation, it is very likely to be true.
And the biggest problem now is, how do I get out?
If I were really locked up here for several days, I would definitely die.
Rather than this, I might as well commit suicide.
After resting for a few minutes, I lit a lighter, stood up from the stool, went to the security door, and checked its condition. The security door was intact and there was no way to force it open.
I stood in front of the security door with a solemn expression, unable to think of any way to get out.
I pressed my ear against the door. There was no sound outside, no zombie roars. I figured the zombies were still outside in the rain and wouldn't come in.
Since the security door couldn't be broken open, there was only one way to get out.
Smash the wall!
If I can just break down the wall, I think I can get out of here.
However, I don't know if we can break it open.
I took out my dagger and scratched the wall a few times, finding that the white paint on the wall came off very easily. But this stuff is inherently unreliable; once the outer waterproof coating is gone, the white paint comes off with the slightest touch, just like powder.
I turned off the lighter and started scraping the white paint off the wall with my dagger. I figured I'd give it a try anyway; if I could dig a hole, it would mean I still had a chance to get out.
If I can't even dig through the cement behind the white paint, then I basically have no chance of leaving this place.
After scraping with a dagger for a few minutes, I realized I had scraped through cement. I lit a lighter and looked inside, and sure enough, in the palm-sized area that had been scraped out, there was a layer of cement!
The layer of cement isn't thick, since there are red bricks behind it. Once the cement is broken open, the red bricks inside become easy to access.
I turned off the lighter and, with a bit of force, began to poke the cement with the tip of the knife.
With repeated, forceful poking, I felt the cement crack open in less than a minute, and cracks appeared in the cement within a palm-sized area.
Immediately, I inserted the tip of the knife into the crack and pried it off with force, and the cement fell off.
There's hope!
As the cement was poured, the red bricks underneath were exposed.
I smiled slightly, "It's a bit troublesome, but there's hope!"
Without much hesitation or thought, I started scraping the wall, as long as I could scrape out a hole that I could crawl through!
I took a dagger, moved a stool over, sat down directly in front of the wall, and started scraping the white paint off the wall with the dagger.
Although it's a bit of a hassle, at least it's a chance to get out, which is better than being locked up here.
Moreover, with Zhang Jianzhou gone, I'm worried something might happen to Jingjie and the others. If Zhang Jianzhou tells Ye Qian everything about me, and Ye Qian becomes suspicious, the research institute will basically be finished!
So we have to get out of here quickly and then rush back!
This time, no matter what, I'm going to kill that bastard Zhang Jianzhou! As for Pu Weichao and that damn research institute, we'll deal with them later!
"Zhang Jianzhou, you just wait. Once I get out of here, I'll definitely kill you!"
