Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, a hint of joy flashed in the other person's eyes, but then the expression returned to one of disappointment.
"We have no chance of escaping! Others have tried to sneak in before, but they all failed!"
After saying that, the girl cautiously pointed to the wall in the distance.
From time to time, the beams of flashlights shone on the wall, and Lu Yuan was immediately horrified when he saw them.
A beam of flashlight quickly swept across the wall, revealing a row of dozens of bloodstained heads hanging there, sending chills down one's spine.
Then the girl said, "These are the people who were going to save us, but they were all discovered later! This is what happened to them!"
Lu Yuan sighed and said, "I'm different from them!"
The girl looked at Lu Yuan: "Did you come alone?"
"That's right! It's just me!"
"Oh! You really are different from them. They all operate in teams! But you're all alone! I really admire your courage! However... we have no chance to escape!"
Lu Yuan chuckled softly: "How will you know you have no chance to escape if you don't try?"
"What?"
The girl looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of shock in her eyes: "There are nearly 100,000 troops guarding this place! Do you think you have a chance to lead all one million of us out of here?"
At this point, the girl's eyes widened: "No way! You're not saying you're here to find someone?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I have something I need to ask you!"
As they were talking, the girl gently tugged at Lu Yuan's arm: "This isn't the place to talk! I'll take you somewhere else!"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, but he still followed behind the girl.
The two moved through the crowd like ghosts, but the girl was quick-witted and always managed to easily dodge the guards' lights.
Finally, the other party led Lu Yuan to another, quieter spot in the crowd.
However, the temperature inside is even higher, and the surroundings reek of decay, making one feel somewhat nauseous.
Seeing Lu Yuan's nausea, the girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's quite warm here, so the guards won't notice this place unless someone gets shot and killed! So, this is a good place to talk!"
Lu Yuan was immediately filled with astonishment at the girl.
"I didn't know you knew so much!"
"Hehe! If we want to live well here, we have to protect ourselves! Tell me! What are you going to do?"
Lu Yuan looked around and then whispered, "Do you know the number of guards here and their assigned tasks? Also, do you know where the hostages are? Do you know approximately how many are on each floor?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the girl looked shocked: "You...you don't really want to save people, do you? There are a million hostages here! Are you sure you can save them all?"
"Maybe! That depends on whether you cooperate or not, and when these guards will notice what's going on here!"
"Okay! Then I hope you succeed!"
"Thank you! Tell me what happened!"
The girl looked around and continued, "I don't know much about the hostage situation here, but I can guess from the conversations the guards have during their shift changes. The hostages are basically held in a centralized area on every other floor. For example, we are on the 170th floor now, and the 171st floor is where the guards live and rest. Then, on the 172nd floor, there is another area where they are held!"
Lu Yuan nodded silently: "I didn't realize they were so good at personnel allocation!"
"Yes! The advantage of doing this is that if the hostages are rescued, they can make adjustments in the shortest amount of time, and they won't lose any of the hostages!"
"Hmm! Not bad! Continue!"
"Each floor holds approximately 50,000 people! There are 20 floors in total, and the top floor should hold even more!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "And how many guards are there?"
"The guards number around 100,000! But this is just my guess, because I can tell from the number of shifts and the number of people in each squad that there are probably close to 100,000 here!"
Lu Yuan was somewhat apprehensive, after all, 100,000 people was simply too many. If a real battle broke out, he wouldn't be able to defeat such a large army.
Then Lu Yuan asked again, "What about their weapons?"
"There are many different kinds of weapons, but I don't know much about them. I can only tell you that most of these people are unarmed! Only a small portion of them carry guns! Oh, and there are mutants among them! These are their main fighting force!"
Lu Yuan then asked some other questions, which the girl answered seriously.
However, the girl's answers were mostly guesses, which could only serve as a reference for Lu Yuan's work. If he really wanted to obtain accurate information, Lu Yuan would have to investigate on his own.
After squatting on the ground and thinking for a long time, Lu Yuan still couldn't come up with a way to kill all the guards.
The girl squatted down and quietly watched Lu Yuan. She suddenly felt that Lu Yuan looked familiar.
