Chapter 556: The Mist. The Abandoned
Zhe Xiguang sneered, "Haha, I guessed it was him. Don't you understand yet? Dr. Zhao and Director Situ Yi have already colluded with each other. They jointly planned the crisis on the ninth floor. The purpose is to eliminate dissidents and finally put all the blame on me."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Dr. Zhao was indeed the source of the lie. If Captain Li had not considered the infectiousness, their combat effectiveness would never have caused such heavy losses.
Song Yunfei asked, "Are you speculating, or do you have other evidence?"
Zhe Xiguang, "I have been in the base for more than two years, and I am not without a confidant. It's just that I knew the news but had no way to fight back. There was a sick person on the ninth floor, could Captain Li not go down to rescue? If the rescue was fruitless, could he not cut off the elevator and take isolation protection? On the surface, everything he did was the right choice.
He originally wanted me to cooperate with Captain Li to go down for the rescue, but I rejected him on the spot because I knew the news in advance. Captain Li and Platoon Leader Zhang were there at the time, and they can testify for me. "
Zhang Chaowu nodded. At that time, he was still cursing Zhe Xiguang in his heart for being afraid of death.
Zhe Xiguang continued, “But I didn’t expect that he would attack me after everyone left and blatantly snatch my electronic lock.
At that time, I knew that most of the people upstairs had been bribed by him. Fortunately, I had someone make an identical fake watch a long time ago, and the one he snatched that day was a fake one. "
"What?" Cui Yingjie was surprised. "The watch you have been wearing is a fake one. What about the real one?"
"Why are you so excited? Could it be that Situ Yi gave you some task before he died?" Zhe Xiguang looked at him coldly.
Cui Yingjie hurriedly shook his head, "No, I'm just curious."
curious?
Everyone looked at him, they were also curious, but they didn't react that much!
Cui Yingjie saw that he had become the target of public criticism again, and hurriedly said, "Don't look at me like that. It was Dr. Zhao who said that he had arranged for someone to come down to get the suitcase, and asked me to make sure to keep you on the negative 12th floor, and even if I can't keep you, I have to come down with you."
Everyone looked at Zhe Xiguang again, and this time it was Mou Ci who asked, "Then why did Situ Yi die? Does it have anything to do with you?"
"I'm not sure." Zhe Xiguang continued, "I was locked up, and my confidant came to rescue me, but I didn't leave with him. I bet that Situ Yi would take me downstairs. And I just wanted to go downstairs, after all, getting the suitcase was my only chance to turn the tables.
The last order I gave to my confidant was to kill Situ Yi at all costs, but I don't know if he killed the person. Later, Situ Yi really threw me off the building, and you all know what happened next. "
After saying this, he became a little excited, holding his chest and trembling, and asked, "Tell me honestly, who is the traitor?"
His feelings were sincere and his timing was right. Everyone looked at him with sympathy, and even Cui Yingjie began to waver.
Only Chu An was completely indifferent. It was not that she did not believe Zhe Xiguang, but that she did not believe everyone in this base. At least, no one would believe it until the matter was completely over.
"Let's first figure out how to get out." Song Yunfei said.
"Wait." Chu An interrupted him, "Before you leave, I want to ask one more question."
Zhe Xiguang, "Ask, I've already said so much, one or two more won't make a difference."
Chu An narrowed his eyes, observing the changes in his mood, and asked, "The director is the highest commander of the entire base. To put it bluntly, he is a local tyrant. Why would he eliminate dissidents without putting his life in danger?"
Everyone was shocked. They had a preconceived notion that there was a conflict between the director and the deputy director, and it was normal for them to target each other, but it was indeed a bit too much to escalate it to a matter of life and death.
Chu An continued, but he looked at Song Yunfei and others, "The director has been in the base for so many years and has encountered more than one political enemy. Has he ever used such extreme means to deal with others before?"
Song Yunfei and others shook their heads. Although Situ Yi was a bit mean and hypocritical, he was still a good leader overall. His only shortcoming was that he was a little timid. He should be the person who least wanted anything to happen to the base.
Zhe Xiguang's expression did not change at all, but in his heart, black mist gradually emerged from behind, covering up the conscience in front. However, the conscience did not disappear and remained on the second layer in a half-hidden state.
He didn't expect an outsider to be able to think so far, and forced a cold smile, "You have to ask Situ Yi, I don't know what he thinks. But I guess he has always wanted to attack me, but he just didn't have the chance. This spider tide is a chance for him.
Even if you kill me today, I won't be considered a loser, at least Situ Yi died before me. But I advise you to think it over clearly, when Situ Yi set a trap to kill me, he used you all as cannon fodder. Everyone below the ninth floor, even if you don't believe me, you shouldn't believe Situ Yi, because you are all people abandoned by him."
Zhe Xiguang was right. Those below the ninth floor were abandoned. Even the most righteous people would have thorns in their hearts. Among the nine people, Zhang Chaowu had the worst expression. No one knew better than him what Captain Li had done for the base.
"I've finished asking questions." Chu An said.
It was quiet again. I felt like there were more and more mysteries and I didn't know who to trust.
"Let's leave here." Mu Ci reminded everyone.
Everyone came to their senses and looked up. This place was about two meters away from the upper floor, and it was easy to go up with a ladder.
Mou Ci was the first to lift Chu An up, and the others also helped each other up one after another. Finally, Mou Ci, Chu An and Song Yunfei worked together to pull Zhe Xiguang up. Regardless of whether they believed in Zhe Xiguang or not, they also needed him to open the door.
Zhe Xiguang sat in the wheelchair that was already a little dizzy and turned off the mechanism. Chu An put the stone slab back into the space after the floor gathered.
She looked at the time again. It was 11:10. Two hours had passed since they took control of the ninth floor. They should have noticed that the ninth floor was cleared. Why was there no movement at all?
Even if Situ Yi died, there would be other things to do. At the very least, cZR's people would have to come out to control the situation. Moreover, they had already reached the negative twenty-second floor, close to the core of the base, and not only did no one stop them, there wasn't even a warning.
Zhe Xiguang opened two more checkpoints and took them down to the negative twenty-third floor. He turned around and told everyone that the last two levels required his and Situ Yi's irises and could no longer be opened.
"What will happen if there is violent demolition?" Mou Ci asked.
"It will trigger a mechanism. I don't know if you have touched the walls around you. They are made of special materials. If you forcibly dismantle the electric switch, the wall will release smoke that has the effect of a drug." Zhe Xiguang explained.
"Is it just smoke?" Chu An didn't believe it.
"After all, this is a government organization. They won't do anything that kills people." Zhe Xiguang rolled his eyes at her.
"What about the trap outside?" Mu Ci reminded, "Isn't it for killing people?"
“That kind of mechanism needs to be opened actively. It will only be triggered when we are sure of the danger and it is necessary to kill everyone. This one is passive. We are afraid that someone will break in by mistake and destroy the electronic door in a panic…” Before Zhe Xiguang finished speaking, he saw the resentful eyes of the crowd and had to shut up.
