Chapter 455 The entrance to the underground passage
"Chu Tian!" Lin Xue exclaimed and supported Chu Tian.
"I'm fine." Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
The two continued to run forward, but the guards increased in number and they were surrounded.
"What should we do?" Lin Xue looked at Chu Tian, her eyes full of despair.
Chu Tian looked around, looking for a chance to escape.
Suddenly, he saw a ventilation duct next to the control center.
"Follow me!" Chu Tian pulled Lin Xue and ran towards the ventilation duct.
The two men entered the ventilation duct and crawled along the pipe.
The pipes were narrow and dark, and the air was foul, making it difficult to breathe.
Chu Tian and Lin Xue crawled with difficulty, not knowing where the end was...
The pipe was filled with dust and musty smell. Chu Tian couldn't help coughing a few times, and the wound on his shoulder was aching. Lin Xue followed closely behind him, her face pale and her breathing rapid.
"Are you okay?" Chu Tian asked in a low voice.
"I...I'm fine." Lin Xue panted, "Just...just a little scared."
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Chu Tian comforted.
The two crawled slowly in the narrow pipe. It was pitch black all around them, with only the shouts and footsteps of the guards coming from afar.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a ray of light ahead.
"Exit!" Lin Xue shouted in surprise.
The two of them quickened their pace and climbed to the exit.
The exit is located in a hidden corner outside the base, surrounded by weeds and no one notices it.
Chu Tian and Lin Xue crawled out of the pipe and took a deep breath of fresh air.
"We have to find a way to leave here." Chu Tian said.
"I know a place." Lin Xue said, "Not far from here, there is an abandoned factory. We can hide there first."
The two followed a path and came to an abandoned factory.
The factory had long been abandoned, with broken machines and debris everywhere, and a musty smell in the air.
Chu Tian and Lin Xue found a relatively clean corner and sat down. Chu Tian took off his coat and checked the wound on his shoulder.
The bullet grazed his flesh, the blood had coagulated but the wound was still painful.
"Let me see your wound." Lin Xue said with concern.
She took out some simple medical supplies from the small bag she carried with her and carefully helped Chu Tian treat his wounds.
"Hiss..." Chu Tian took a breath of cold air.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Lin Xue asked with concern.
"Not bad." Chu Tian smiled, "This little injury is nothing."
Lin Xue carefully cleaned the wound and bandaged it with gauze.
"Thank you." Chu Tian said.
"You're welcome." Lin Xue smiled, "We are comrades now, we should help each other."
The two smiled at each other, and an inexplicable feeling spread between them.
Just then, there was a sudden noisy sound outside.
"Someone is coming!" Lin Xue's face changed and she said in a low voice.
Chu Tian quickly got up, walked to the window and looked out.
I saw several police cars parked in front of the factory. A group of guards got out of the cars, holding guns in their hands and searching around.
"They are chasing us!" Chu Tian said, "We have to leave here quickly."
"But...but where can we go?" Lin Xue asked anxiously.
Chu Tian looked around, and suddenly, he saw a pile of discarded iron sheets in the corner of the factory.
"Follow me!" Chu Tian pulled Lin Xue and ran to the pile of iron sheets.
He quickly moved the iron sheet away, revealing the entrance to an underground passage.
"What is this...?" Lin Xue asked in surprise.
"This is the factory's underground drainage pipe." Chu Tian explained, "We can escape from here."
The two men entered the underground passage and crawled forward along the pipe.
The pipe was dark and damp, emitting a foul odor that made people feel sick.
Chu Tian and Lin Xue endured the discomfort and crawled forward with difficulty.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a ray of light ahead.
"Exit!" Lin Xue shouted excitedly.
The two of them quickened their pace and climbed to the exit.
The exit is located next to a small river and is surrounded by dense reeds that completely block the exit.
Chu Tian and Lin Xue crawled out of the pipe and breathed a sigh of relief.
"We finally escaped!" Lin Xue said excitedly.
"It's not over yet." Chu Tian said, "We have to find a way to contact other people and stop Xu Damao's conspiracy."
The two walked along the creek, discussing their next plan.
As the night deepened, a thin layer of mist spread over the river. It was quiet all around, with only the sounds of insects chirping and flowing water.
Chu Tian and Lin Xue walked side by side, their hands unconsciously holding each other.
A warm feeling passed between the two of them, as if all the danger and fear had disappeared.
Suddenly, Chu Tian stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue asked puzzledly.
Chu Tian didn't say anything, just stared straight ahead.
Lin Xue followed his gaze and saw a figure standing not far ahead.
The figure had its back to them, motionless, like a statue.
"Who is it?" Lin Xue asked in a low voice.
Chu Tian didn't answer. He walked forward slowly, approaching the figure step by step.
As the distance got closer, the outline of the figure gradually became clearer.
It was a tall man in a black suit and holding a gun.
"Xu Damao!" Chu Tian said gritting his teeth.
Xu Damao turned around slowly with a sinister smile on his face.
"Chu Tian, you really didn't disappoint me." He said, "You actually escaped."
"What...what are you doing here?" Lin Xue asked in horror.
Xu Damao did not answer. He raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Chu Tian.
"Goodbye, Chu Tian." He said with a sneer.
Gunshots rang out...
The gunshots rang out in the silent night, breaking the tranquility like thunder. Lin Xue widened her eyes in horror, watching everything that happened in front of her in disbelief. Chu Tian fell straight down, and the blood stained the ground red.
"Chu Tian!" Lin Xue screamed, rushed to Chu Tian and hugged him tightly.
Xu Damao sneered, threw the gun in his hand to the ground, turned and left.
Lin Xue hugged Chu Tian, tears streaming down her face. She felt as if her world had collapsed, and everything had lost its meaning.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the state-owned restaurant, Sha Zhu was busy and exhausted. For some reason, his cooking skills had been failing recently. Either the food was too salty, too bland, or the heat was not controlled well.
"Sha Zhu, what's wrong with the dish you cooked today? It's totally inedible!" The restaurant manager walked up to Sha Zhu angrily and threw a plate of food on the ground.
Sha Zhu was already full of anger, and when he saw the manager's attitude, he became even more furious.
"What do you mean? I've been cooking for all these years, when have I ever made such a mistake? What happened today? Explain it to me clearly!" Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and retorted unconvincedly.
