Chapter 049 Chapter 49
After throwing the tranquilizer gun into the space, Ji Yang emerged from the water. The two men had fallen into a deep sleep one after another, but considering that the scene just now might be seen, she did not dare to let the two men live. She killed them one by one and put them into the static space. In this way, she could directly say that she was lucky that there was no one guarding the water surface when she appeared.
Then she entered the space, quickly took off her diving suit, carefully released the diving boat, and pressed the lurking button with the key. It was already in a closed state in the space and was controlled by the key, automatically sinking slowly.
This is her way out.
Otherwise, there would be no need for her to cut the window frame.
She was afraid that people would question how she showed up.
Then Ji Yang started to move upwards. In addition to guarding the water surface for fear that someone would emerge from the water, there were people guarding the corridor windows on the 13th, 14th, and 15th floors.
But this time they were patrolling, two people together, going around the corridor from the left to the right.
After listening to their footsteps for a while and confirming that they were starting to go away, Ji Yang went straight to the middle of the stairs on the twelfth floor.
Here she stopped.
Until the footsteps approached again, someone complained unhappily: "I have walked back and forth more than a hundred times, I am so tired! When will the replacement come?!"
"I don't know. The boss said that we can't let the authorities see the pattern. Just wait and see." Another person also said in an unhappy tone.
The sound of chatting made it easier to tell the distance between them. After the two of them walked a little further away, Ji Yang took this opportunity to quickly go up to the thirteenth floor. With the shoes she had specially changed and her deliberate control of her footsteps, the sound was not even as loud as theirs.
After passing the stairs, Ji Yang stopped for a while to rest.
There were also people guarding the fourteenth floor, but the situation seemed similar to that downstairs, so she went upstairs on time.
Then go to the fifteenth and sixteenth floors.
——
Finally, there was no one guarding the sixteenth floor, so it was relatively quiet, but I could hear that most people were still awake, some were playing cards, some were having fun, it was quite lively.
Ji Yang continued to go up, but just as he reached the 18th floor, he heard hurried footsteps and an anxious voice: "Fuck, the boss told me to take over in 30 minutes, but I overslept, damn it!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Another person was also anxious: "I told you to set the alarm."
"Okay, blame me."
The sound is approaching.
Ji Yang immediately hid towards the main door.
After passing each other and hearing the two people's voices fade away, she hurried on up and finally reached the nineteenth floor. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she noticed a sound of footsteps approaching this side.
She hid again, and heard one of them say, "Tsk, the big boss is still angry? Didn't they say that we can get the yacht the day after tomorrow, and our second in command can also come back?"
"He must have gotten angrier the longer he slept, and wanted to vent again." Another person said, and suddenly heard screams coming from a house on the 19th floor. He shuddered and asked, "Is that Zheng guy still beating people?"
"That should be it. This guy is so fucking twisted. No one has offended him, but he not only tied up these two people, but also taught them a lesson from time to time. He is sick."
The two went down to the 19th floor, turned and went to the right.
Ji Yang followed immediately.
The screams became more and more obvious, but also seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. I guess he couldn't bear the beating anymore.
Two people knocked on the door, and soon the noise stopped. At this moment, the two people at the door suddenly felt a pain on their backs, as if something hit them. Before they could react, a feeling of dizziness came over them, making them stagger.
The moment the door opened, the two of them fell down at the same time.
The gloomy young man felt a pain in his chest before he could figure out what was going on. He subconsciously lowered his head and saw a needle stuck in his chest.
The moment he felt dizzy, he vaguely realized that this thing seemed to be an anesthetic injection for animals? The dosage was really large!
He didn't even have time to call for help.
After three people fell down in succession, Ji Yang couldn't help but praise the anesthetic needle, saying it was so efficient!
Ji Yang stepped over the three people and went into the house. At this time, the people in the house also heard the sounds of things falling to the ground and came over to take a look.
As soon as they met, there were two consecutive noises.
Two tranquilizer guns quickly shot into their bodies. The two men were about to say something and opened their mouths, but the anesthetic effect had already taken effect. Their tongues moved, but no sound came out and they fell down.
Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked around again. This time he found no one standing. There were only two people lying in the living room of the house. There was blood on the ground. The two people were curled up, breathing heavily and trembling from time to time due to the wounds. The hands exposed were stained with blood, and there was a finger missing from the index finger, but it was not bandaged.
Guo Yao and Xue Yuanyang were struggling to endure the pain when they heard a noise behind them. They thought it was Zheng Youning coming again, so they just accepted their fate and waited. But when it was still quiet, they felt something was wrong, so they turned around and saw someone who shouldn't be here.
At that moment, Xue Yuanyang's pupils trembled.
I actually saw Ji Yang at this time? ! And Ji Yang was holding a weapon!!!
"Ugh!" Xue Yuanyang was about to speak when his mouth was covered.
Ji Yang frowned and lowered his voice: "I'm here to save you, don't talk, these two guns, do you know how to use them?"
She handed over two pistols.
Xue Yuanyang nodded desperately, holding the gun in his uninjured hand, staring at the face in front of him with wide eyes without blinking, his heart pounding, excited, happy, unbelievable, surviving a disaster...
Guo Yao also realized something, and his feverish red face showed a look of surprise. He pointed at Ji Yang excitedly, then looked at Xue Yuanyang.
"Yes, save us!" Xue Yuanyang whispered, and the two of them helped each other to get up.
But when he was about to leave, he suddenly pointed to one of the rooms and whispered, "Can you take one more person with you? He is imprisoned here like us, and he is very pitiful."
After that, he was busy again: "If it doesn't work, forget it. I just saw that he was also arrested. He was locked up there for two days without food, which was a bit miserable..."
Ji Yang paused, he was still a saintly father, but he knew more limits than the first time.
She was not opposed to this, thinking that saving one person would be the same as saving one, and she didn't plan to lead them out to fight anyway, so she nodded and hurried to open the door. The door was not locked. As soon as she entered, she saw a man who was in a slightly better condition than the other two sitting dejectedly in the corner. When he saw her come in, he immediately looked at her vigilantly.
Ji Yang pointed outside and said, "I'm here to save people. Do you want to come with me?" He pointed the gun at him and said, "I can take you with me, but if you dare to expose yourself, you will definitely be the first to die."
At this time, Xue Yuanyang also moved over carefully and gestured to him desperately.
Let’s go!
If you don't leave now, you're doomed!!!
The man stared at her for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and got up. Ji Yang felt that the man was walking too slowly, and then he noticed that one of his legs was almost powerless. Every time he moved a step, his face twitched and he was in pain. She wondered how this man had offended the boss of the White Tiger Base?
She simply carried the man with her and signaled the other two to follow.
It's not safe here. Once the authorities show up, they will definitely rush over to take hostages and threaten us. This door will probably rot after a few hits.
The corridor is actually safe at this time. It is late at night and very hot. Everyone is either sleeping or having fun and no one is wandering around.
She led the three of them out of the room and saw the person lying at the door. Xue Yuanyang and Guo Yao showed complicated expressions, but they did not delay and continued to step over and follow Ji Yang upstairs.
No one lives above the 20th floor. The building has 25 floors in total. The higher you go, the harder it is to climb the stairs. In the absence of an elevator, no one likes to climb stairs.
Therefore, the four of them quietly passed the 20th floor and were about to continue going upstairs when they discovered that a large iron door was installed at the entrance of the stairs on the 21st floor!
The three men paused, their faces turned green, and they were so anxious that they made a fuss. They didn't dare to speak, and could only gesture desperately: It's all over, it's all, we have to die here!
What should I do now? !
Ji Yang calmly took out the wire and said silently, "Right away."
Three panicked people: "???"
She learned this skill from a master in her previous life. When it was extremely cold, she could find food with this skill, which saved her a lot of trouble and made her feel much more relaxed.
At this time, he easily opened the lock from the inside and carefully pulled open the big iron door. Fortunately, the big iron door did not make any strange noises. After the three of them passed, Ji Yang locked the big iron door again and pulled the three of them to continue going upstairs.
Continuing up all the way, when they reached the 23rd floor, Ji Yang finally found an intact entrance door. She was overjoyed and took out the wire to pry the door open again.
The door quickly opened with a click, and it was empty inside. No wonder no one came.
Ji Yang threw the three people in: "Stay inside!"
"What about you?!" Xue Yuanyang saw that she had no intention of coming in, and said anxiously: "Let's wait together! If the officials knew that we were out of danger, they would come here quickly!"
Ji Yang: "Don't worry about me, I have my own things to do."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Two wounded people were left in the room looking at each other, while another wounded person was licking his wounds alone.
Both of them had just had a finger chopped off during the day and were already having a slight fever. They were also bullied by their former brothers and felt that life was bleak. They almost thought about dying together with that bastard.
Who knew Ji Yang would appear out of nowhere like this!
Now that I have come to my senses, the gratitude in my chest is beyond words. I am also filled with fear and surprise at surviving the disaster. I couldn't control my tears and later I just held my head and cried.
After crying for a while, Xue Yuanyang looked at his good brother and said proudly, "She is Ji Yang, my stepsister."
Guo Yao: “?!!!”
After a long while, he murmured, "Brother, I really think you are not worthy of our sister. Your stepmother really loves you and actually let you two meet!"
Xue Yuanyang: ...
He sniffed, "I know!"
——
Ji Yang did have something to do.
Once the hostages are missing, this group of people will definitely become chaotic, and the door will not be able to hold them accountable for long, so the authorities can take action.
All she had to do was protect herself and these three people before the authorities completely wiped out this group of people.
Returning to the staircase on the 21st floor, they moved very quickly. No one came over during this time, so Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief, which meant there was still time. As agreed, she found the window in the corridor and fired the flare given by the authorities.
With a "whoosh", a flash of light disappeared into the sky.
Ji Yang immediately went to check the house on the 21st floor. The door of the house was still good, but it was also easy to pick the lock. They were all ordinary doors and there was no technical content at all. When he pried it open, he saw densely packed food inside and immediately raised his eyebrows.
Previously at the Giant Sun Base, she saw the weapons depot but did not find the food depot.
But this tiny base with less than 200 people actually filled up an entire house with food alone!
There is only room to step in the living room.
Ji Yang didn't look closely, just took a quick look and found that half of the room was filled with sweet potatoes and potatoes piled up randomly. He also put down a large pile of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and seeing that they were mixed very naturally, he went to the next room.
There are four rooms on the first floor. She will definitely take a look at them when she has time. If there are any good things there, she can share some of them.
Upon closer inspection, I found that there were quite a lot. The second room was still filled with various foods, but this time they were processed, including various canned foods, plastic-sealed compressed biscuits, potato chips, bacon and the like.
The bacon strips were hung on poles in rows, like clothes hanging out to dry.
There are so many good things here, this is a secret way to get rich.
Therefore, there were many more cockroaches, bugs, and rats here than in the first room, so I quickly went to the third room.
At this time, there was movement downstairs.
Lin Shubo waited impatiently for someone to send up the two hostages, but found that no matter how long he waited, the person never showed up?
He was a little irritable, and afraid that something might go wrong, so he quickly went to the next room to find his confidant: "Let's go see what's going on?! Even if it's an infection and fever, it shouldn't last this long?! Is he dead?!"
He was in a bad mood today and vented his anger during the day, but it was just as the two people guessed. He became angrier and angrier as he lay on the bed. He didn't know what would happen to his brother now that he had been arrested by the authorities. He heard that the authorities would make people do hard labor after arresting them, so maybe he has suffered now.
The two brothers are not much different in age. Their parents are laborers. In order to save money in their early years, they worked on construction sites in the hot summer and died of heat stroke. They became orphans without parents and depended on each other and had a very good relationship.
Especially during those years, when I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I stole and robbed in order to survive and went to jail frequently.
Even now, I am in my thirties and have achieved nothing, but my brothers don't despise me.
They were originally from the lower class who were in poverty, but when the situation changed, the two of them dared to take risks and kill, and they fought their way out. Later, the government launched a crackdown on bandits, but fortunately they did not become too powerful and escaped the first wave of official crackdowns. After that, they quickly lay dormant, and usually at most they secretly robbed a few wealthy families and killed a few disobedient people. They lived a stable and comfortable life, and did not attract attention.
But who knew that the official revealed that the extreme heat is coming soon!
When they thought of the extreme heat, they thought of their parents who died of heat stroke. Heat was a horrible memory for them, so the two brothers decided to take their people away from here and live in the north.
They agreed to make a big deal before the water receded and then leave. It was cold over there, and it would definitely be more comfortable than here when it was extremely hot. Lake City has always been called the Furnace. If they stayed here when it was extremely hot, the chances of surviving would be too small.
In the end, he was still targeted by the authorities and was arrested.
It’s really infuriating!
As soon as the confidant walked out, he heard a "whoosh" sound and was surprised: "Who is setting off fireworks at this time?"
Lin Shubo was also stunned: "Set off fireworks?"
He subconsciously looked out the window and waited for a while. When he didn't see the second firework appear, he suddenly realized something was wrong and said angrily, "The authorities have taken action! Damn, that's a flare, not a firework! Those two people must have run away! Are you guys here to eat for free?! Hurry!"
Hearing the shout, his confidant was startled and hurried out to call for help.
The entire base was in turmoil for a moment, and everyone hurriedly got up: "Enemy attack? Where are the people?!"
"Are there official people coming? Will they have a lot of guns? Damn, I'm scared!"
"Why haven't I seen anyone yet--huh?!"
"Fuck! Two people collapsed at the door! Someone is dead, someone is dead..."
At the same time, when countless heads popped out of the window and pairs of eyes stared over, after confirming that Lin Shubo appeared, silent commands were issued, "Bang bang bang——" gunshots rang out one after another.
"ah!"
"There's a sniper! Get down quickly!"
"Fuck, you didn't even know someone came in—"
"What should we do now, Boss?!"
Everyone was in a mess and couldn't find the enemy at all. Lin Shubo squatted on the ground, covering his broken ears with his hands, feeling terrified and a little regretful.
I regretted that I got angry this morning and went too far.
Afterwards they reminded themselves that it might be possible for the authorities to abandon the hostages and attack them directly, but what had been done had already been done and they could only take one step at a time. They didn't expect that they would actually dare to do so.
And what about the two hostages? ! ! !
*
In a panic, Lin Shubo couldn't figure out where they came from to rescue the hostages. You know, he had arranged for people to patrol the three lowest floors and strictly guard the windows. Even if they rescued them, they wouldn't be able to escape so easily, right? !
How did they run away? Aren’t they afraid that the wounds of the two people would get infected?
Suddenly he turned his head and saw a lock hanging on the large iron door blocking the stairs.
This thing can only be opened with the key in his hand. Most of the supplies they got are placed upstairs. Ordinary coarse grains are stored in the warehouse downstairs for the survivors. These good things can only be used by a few veterans.
At this moment, the key seemed to be placed in the wrong place.
Lin Shubo realized something and quickly took out the key from his neck to unlock the door, shouting, "Everyone, get upstairs! Someone is stealing from our warehouse, and the hostages must be hiding upstairs!"
"Hurry up and capture the hostages, then the authorities won't dare to take action!"
"Take the hostages!"
Everyone rushed up.
At the right moment, Ji Yang threw a grenade into the corridor.
Just as everyone climbed up a flight of stairs and were about to continue rushing forward, they heard a "gurgling" sound. Still confused, an explosion suddenly sounded, and immediately the smell of blood and gunpowder filled the entire corridor. Everyone's mentality was really ruined.
“Ahhhh, the authorities are coming with grenades!”
“Help!”
"There's a grenade, run!!!"
Ji Yang quickly restocked his gun and went to check on the fourth warehouse.
The third warehouse contained various gasoline, fuel and other things, which were not well preserved and were quite dangerous. She took a look, closed it and pried open a door.
The fourth door is right above Lin Shubo’s room.
Ji Yang was still very interested.
When it was opened, I saw that what was placed inside was neither food nor commonly used supplies, but all cooling equipment that can be used in extreme cold weather, including air conditioners, air-conditioning fans, ice makers, solar panels, batteries, etc. In addition, there was a huge pile of... thermal insulation film!
Unfortunately, Ji Yang also bought it, so he was only surprised for a moment.
The boss is really well prepared.
She was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of something silvery-white.
Ji Yang hesitated for a moment and walked over. The thing was placed next to the insulation film. There was no label on it and it was packed in a plastic bag. It looked extremely simple.
She picked it up and took a look. It felt cool to the touch, but soft, much like silk.
But it's not silk.
She intuitively felt that this thing was very special and familiar, but she couldn't remember where it was. After touching it for a while, she found that the place where her fingers touched was still cold. Even at night, the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius and the air was hot and humid, but only this place was always cool.
Ji Yang was stunned, and her memory came back to her, and she realized what it was.
This is - a thermal insulation suit!
Ji Yang stared at the thing in his hand. This was the thermal insulation suit that the base started selling one year after the extreme heat. It looked a little different from the current one, but the feel was the same. A set cost 8,000 points, including a top and pants. When worn inside, it could insulate to a certain extent and reduce the burning of the internal organs by the scorching temperature, thereby reducing the probability of death from heat stroke.
Of course, even if you wear this thing, you can't go out in broad daylight. If you are exposed to the sun, you will still be burned to death.
But indoors, it can last longer.
If you accidentally find yourself in a place without cooling equipment, wearing this can give you a better chance of survival.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the corridor again. Ji Yang hurried over to check and saw two people trying to get to the 21st floor. However, just as they stepped on the stairs, there was a sudden "click" and the stairs broke. The two people fell directly from the empty space and hit the stairs on the next floor.
"ah!"
“Help—”
After two screams of pain, the two men lay on the steps, unable to move.
Ji Yang sighed, it seemed that the explosion was too much. It was indeed not suitable to use grenades in the stairs. She shot the two who were not dead twice more.
With her spatial cheating ability, she carries a huge arsenal with her. Compared with the enemies who only have ordinary thermal weapons at most, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. Moreover, this group of people are not as brave as the people in the Giant Sun Base to fight and kill, which makes people even more calm.
She returned to the fourth warehouse room and cut the insulation suit, no, the insulation cloth in half, and put it in the space.
It appeared so much earlier than I remembered. Maybe this thing really originated here. Or maybe this was a semi-finished product that was almost successful, but because... the inventor died, it took a while of research before it became truly popular?
Lin Shubo was so cautious about the extreme heat that he made sufficient preparations, including a large number of electric fans, air-conditioning fans, and air conditioners. If it weren't for these supplies, he wouldn't have insisted on having a yacht, otherwise it would have been impossible to transport it.
It is also possible to find someone who can make thermal insulation clothing.
The weather has been getting hotter in recent years, and many companies have been developing heat-insulating clothing. I heard that they have achieved some results, but none of them can cope with temperatures of 50 or 60 degrees. She took this thing back and asked Xie Muchi to show it to the base. If it works, it would be good for heat-insulating clothing to be popularized sooner.
Finally, close all the warehouse doors and wipe off your fingerprints.
Ji Yang came to the stairs and looked around. No one was coming anymore. The corridor was empty, except for the big hole. He was not sure if the surrounding area could support a weight of over 100 kilograms. So he decided to just forget it and wait for the authorities to come and rescue people.
As for the people in the White Tiger Base, they all tried to escape. The escape tools were all on the thirteenth floor, and they swarmed over there. The fight was fierce on the thirteenth floor, and Ji Yang could see it from the window.
She looked around and saw several ships approaching in the distance. The lights on the ships were bright, and she could see fully armed green figures on them. The guns in their hands immediately shot at the fleeing person as they got within range.
It was basically a one-sided strangulation.
Without the hostages, they were just a group of rabble, not enough evidence to prove their innocence, and the authorities killed them easily.
Seeing this, Ji Yang hurried upstairs and knocked on the door: "Open the door, it's me."
Soon the door opened, and two people who were so embarrassed that they couldn't tell who was who appeared, and said in surprise: "Come in, come in!"
"I was so scared, you're finally back!"
Ji Yang raised his hand to stop them: "You can leave now. The authorities will come and kill all these people immediately."
Two people: "!!!"
It was simply double the joy, the two of them burst into tears and had snot bubbles coming out of their noses.
Ji Yang: ...
She took two steps back in disgust: "Wait here for a while."
It has come to this point, she doesn't need to do anything else, just be cautious and wait for the authorities to come and pick them up.
So the three of them squatted in the corridor tacitly, and the man with the broken leg dragged his broken leg over step by step, looked at Ji Yang, then at Xue Yuanyang and others, and his tense body and mind finally relaxed.
Xue Yuanyang leaned against the wall, his head was dizzy and his excited heart had not yet calmed down. While waiting for rescue from downstairs, he secretly glanced at the profile of the person next to him in the dim light.
His stepsister is really amazing.
No wonder she didn't want to stay in the Qiao family.
More than ten minutes later, a group of hurried footsteps were heard. Ji Yang immediately looked at them vigilantly, and heard the other party shouting as he walked up the stairs: "It's an official, don't be afraid!"
Ji Yang recognized the voice as that of the person in charge and she relaxed.
Seeing that she was relieved, Guo Yao immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Here, we are on the 21st floor!!!"
"We'll be there soon!" the person in charge responded, and came over quickly. Just as he was about to continue going up, he suddenly stopped and looked at the broken stairs in shock, choking.
No wonder I just heard an explosion.
Is Changnan Base so generous to special talents? They can even carry grenades with them when they go out to do things?!
No wonder she dared to walk so far alone!
Do they need to learn from their base as well?
