Chapter 360 Congested Sewer
In response to the old man's question, Bifang simply took out a map from his arms and showed the dense pipeline route map on it to everyone.
"We came all the way here from the sewer nearby. No one noticed us along the way. Meanwhile, all the guards in the southeast of the warehouse have left, and the only remaining one has already been dealt with. This is your best chance. Believe or not, if you want to leave, you can tell me now. If you don't want to, I will take away everyone who wants to leave. But if anyone wants to tell on me..."
Bifang looked around. Even though the environment was dim, there seemed to be an invisible pressure in the air, and everyone who looked at him lowered their heads.
At this moment, everyone felt as if they were in the same enclosed space with someone wielding a hammer. Even though they were sure that the hammer would not hit them, fear still spread in their hearts.
“You can try.”
"Ahem, if that's the case, then I'm definitely going to leave too. If anyone really wants to stay, they'd better think clearly about what they're doing."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the old man quickly coughed twice to ease the atmosphere, setting the tone for the matter, and nodded to Bifang.
The rest of the people no longer had any objections, which made Bifang even more curious about the other party's identity. After throwing the barbed wire aside, he couldn't help but ask about the old man's identity.
The old man was helped out by the other two young men in the iron cage and said shockingly: "I am the chief here."
Bifang frowned.
Chief?
The audience in front of the screen was even more puzzled. Isn't Abasogang a republic? Where did the chief come from?
Before departure, Bifang, who had a deep understanding of Abasogang, knew better that Abasogang's actual independence event was not very long. Therefore, although it was a republic, some places still retained a relatively primitive chieftain system, but the actual influence was very small.
Besides, a chief can be big or small. A big one can be the king of a country, and a small one can even be a patriarch.
It seems that the person in front of him should not be just a small clan leader. If he is just a small clan leader, it is unlikely that he has such a high prestige among this group of people.
After pulling out three people, the next action became faster. Bifang took out a few wire pliers from his bag and asked the two young men to open the remaining iron cages.
Bifang brought more than one pair of wire pliers, so the more people he rescued, the faster he felt he would go. He then came to the door of the warehouse and pushed the iron cage that had previously imprisoned the old man against the door.
Before, I was alone and it was convenient for me to hide, but now so many people are released. If there is a surprise inspection again, I will be completely finished.
After taking precautions, Bifang pulled out a long hemp rope, stepped on the iron cage and returned to the high wall. He took down the window frame that had been inserted earlier, stepped on the bottom edge and disassembled it, turning it into five wooden sticks, two long and three short.
Cross two long wooden sticks into a cross and tie them tightly with a fixed knot to form a simple cross.
Bifang stuck the cross in the corner of the window and pulled it hard. Seeing that the cross did not move at all, Bifang nodded with satisfaction.
There is no iron cage outside the high wall, and the height is nearly four meters. People who have not received professional training are likely to get injured if they fall rashly. If anyone sprains his ankle, it will greatly slow down the team's speed. If he can't help but scream in pain, it will be even more troublesome.
Seeing Bifang carrying out the rescue operation in such an orderly manner, everyone felt more confident and sped up the speed of rescuing other people.
When everyone was rescued, Bifang left the warehouse first and looked around. After confirming once again that there was no one under the high wall, he threw a stone to remind Matthew to be prepared, and then asked everyone who was trapped to get ready and evacuate.
"Women and children go first, then the disabled, and finally the healthy men. Remember, as long as you are not discovered, you must wait until the first person enters the bushes before the second person appears. The more people outside, the greater the risk of exposure. The smaller the target, the easier it is to hide." After making the arrangements, Bifang pointed at the old man and said, "You stay until the end with me ."
Bifang wants the old man to hold the fort, so as to avoid being stabbed in the back by his own people in the end. At the same time, the old man is more familiar with these people and can make better arrangements.
The old man nodded, obviously knowing it all and having no objection. Everyone was now in the same boat, so there was no need to be on guard against anything.
When the first woman appeared, Bifang pulled her onto the iron cage and brought her to the high wall. He went down first and then let the woman hold the rope and slide down carefully along the wall.
"Keep your center of gravity low, don't be afraid, it's only four meters, it's okay if you fall down, just be steady and quick!"
Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, the woman's arm muscles had obviously atrophied, and her hands holding the rope were trembling. Bifang was worried that she would fall down , so he was carefully catching her from below.
Fortunately, perhaps the hope of life gave everyone new strength, this situation did not occur, and the woman landed successfully.
When they stepped onto the solid and open ground, the woman could hardly contain her excitement and almost burst into tears. Bifang quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't cry, don't scream, you haven't escaped yet!"
Thinking of the vicious gang, the woman's heart was filled with fear again. She nodded in panic, and Bifang let go of her hand, allowing her to run towards the bushes.
Matthew, who had been hiding, immediately stood up, reached out and grabbed the other person and pulled him into the bushes.
When the woman saw a figure suddenly appear in the bushes, she almost screamed in fright, but she immediately realized that this was the companion the other party had mentioned, so she let the other party hold her.
This was indeed the case. Matthew pulled the woman to a curb, pushed open the manhole cover, and let the woman go down.
Seeing the woman disappear, Bifang immediately called the next one.
Soon, one, two... time passed little by little, and the audience in front of the screen became more and more nervous.
More than half an hour had passed since the initial explosion. The flames not far away had begun to dim, and the shouting had become much less frequent, all of which proved that the situation had been brought under control and that they didn't have much time left.
There was even a small incident during the rescue process. The guard from next door appeared again. Fortunately, he did not find anything unusual, but just wanted to find a deserted place to urinate. Matthew was so scared that he pressed the man into the bushes and dared not move.
Fortunately, the other party did not notice anything unusual in the bushes until they left.
Bifang's previous method of letting people escape one by one finally showed its superiority. Although it was slow, it was covert and safe, and some minor situations could be completely controlled. If everyone ran out at once and lined up, how could they possibly escape?
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief after all the people in the warehouse had evacuated into the sewer, leaving only Bifang and the old man.
Oh my god, everything should be alright now, right?
