Chapter 153 "Escape" from the South China Base
Chapter 153 "Escape" from the South China Base
After being stopped by Commander Zhang, Lu Yuan was blindfolded and pushed into a car. Lu Yuan was stopped near the research institute. Logically speaking, if he wanted to go to the commander-in-chief's office, it would only be a short walk away, but they let him into the car.
After getting on the bus, Lu Yuan became even more confused. He didn't know how many times the bus went around in circles before finally stopping. He was still blindfolded and walked the whole way. When the bus finally stopped, Lu Yuan was completely disoriented.
Lu Yuan had only met this Commander Zhang twice before. They were practically complete strangers, so Lu Yuan didn't dare to make conversation with him since the other party didn't speak to him the whole way.
When Lu Yuan finally stopped, he was about to speak when he realized that the two people who had been holding him back on either side had left. Then he could clearly feel that everyone around him had left.
"Damn, where is everyone?" Lu Yuan removed the blindfold from his eyes, looked around, and found that it was a room of less than two square meters. There were walls on all four sides, and the room was empty, but the walls and floor were soft.
Now Lu Yuan was the only one left in the room. He tried to pull the doorknob, but it was indeed locked from the inside and he couldn't open it at all. He was now in a state of utter desperation.
"What is all this about? Why did I have to go through this?" Lu Yuan sat down helplessly in a corner of the room. Who would have thought that just yesterday he felt he could make some contributions and be of some use in the base, but after one night, he has become a prisoner again.
"They must be prisoners, they're all locked up," Lu Yuan muttered to himself. "How come I'm so miserable!"
DAY130
Lu Yuan has been locked in this small room for two days. Every day at the same time, someone comes to deliver food to him, but they don't say a word to him.
He didn't know what was going on outside. Zhong Qiang was right next to him when he was taken away that day, so Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao must know about his situation. Although he knew they wouldn't abandon him, and there must be a reason why they hadn't come to rescue him for two days, his fragile heart still ached a few times.
"No, I can't always wait for someone else to save me when I encounter problems..." Lu Yuan suddenly stood up from the corner of the room, turned around, faced away from the door, and pressed his head against the gap between the two walls, encouraging himself, "This is a zombie apocalypse with extreme cold! I can't continue to be a useless little coward, Lu Yuan!"
After pumping up the tires, Lu Yuan sat down again, but this time he sat with his back to the door. He had observed this over the past two days, and with his coat hood pulled up, the small space in between should be invisible to the surveillance cameras.
Next, Lu Yuan briefly took stock of the things he had that he could use...
“Very good, there is only one uncontrollable exoskeleton mech that is equivalent to thermal underwear…” However, unlike others, even though he doesn’t have any pockets on him right now, it doesn’t affect his escape plan. After all, no matter how big the backpack is, it can’t hold his space.
Calmly opening the space interface, Lu Yuan began to seriously and earnestly study what was inside his space.
He used to follow along, finding whatever supplies the big shots needed. But now he was all alone. He had to figure out how to escape from the airtight room and find the right tools himself.
Time passed second by second, and Lu Yuan had already flipped through more than thirty pages of the spatial interface before he realized that he had been wasting the space in the past. He basically only used it to take food and some weapons, and had never studied the space itself in depth.
It turns out that this space can be adjusted and changed according to his ideas, including how many items are displayed on each page, the classification of items, search, viewing detailed information, etc. Some items do not need to be taken out and can be previewed directly in the space.
Moreover, this space can be sorted by year. Lu Yuan then discovered that there were items from 2135 in the space, including the defensive sphere he had taken out and used before, as well as his interstellar warship.
Of course, there were still many things he hadn't had time to look at. The person who brought him lunch had arrived, and Lu Yuan initially didn't want to pay him any attention; after all, the other person wouldn't talk to him and wouldn't see that he was actually looking at his own space while facing the wall. However…
"Lu Xiaoyuan!" The voice calling from the direction of the door was very soft; if Lu Yuan hadn't been extremely focused, he probably wouldn't have heard it.
"Who is it?" Lu Yuan turned around and saw a person in camouflage uniform holding lunch at the door. Under the brim of his hat was Yang Xiao, who was said to have already left the base in a yacht.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you leave?" Lu Yuan glanced at the camera above his head. It was obvious that the camera was still on, meaning that their every move was being monitored.
"Let's go!" Before Yang Xiao could speak, Lu Yuan, who was in the corner, jumped up and grabbed him, running outside. But the place seemed to be very big, and there were many forks in the road after they went out.
"Both of them, we can't let either of them get away!" a voice came from one of the directions.
"Follow me!" Yang Xiao finally realized what was happening and ran two steps ahead of Lu Yuan, following the route he had planned.
Because they had to evade their pursuers the whole way, Yang Xiao led Lu Yuan for more than ten minutes before they reached a steel gate. He was panting as he waved to Lu Yuan, "Quick, whatever you have in your space, blow it up."
“Okay.” Lu Yuan’s first reaction when he saw the door was to blow it up, so as soon as Yang Xiao spoke, he took out the miniature bomb and immediately stuck it to the door lock with a “snap”.
The miniature bomb made a soft "boom," as quiet as pushing a table, and a hole appeared in the door lock, big enough for a hand to pass through, with the lock cylinder hanging halfway out.
Seeing Yang Xiao looking somewhat dazed, Lu Yuan simply slipped his hands under Yang Xiao's armpits, and with a "whoosh," he carried Yang Xiao out of the door and into the air.
"Aa ...
"I know!" Lu Yuan replied loudly, since flying at high speed in the sky, it would be impossible to communicate if the voice was too soft.
"Then how will you fly out?" Yang Xiao knew that Lu Yuan's mecha could fly, but he never thought it could carry people. Now that Lu Yuan was hanging on like this, he had forgotten that they were escaping and was even a little excited.
"Don't worry, I planned this before you came." After saying that, Lu Yuan made a sharp turn and the two of them flew towards the dock. The people chasing them on the ground were also running wildly, some running, some riding bicycles, and some driving cars. In any case, the South China Base has never been this lively since it was built.
On the rooftop of the research institute in the distance, Gu Nanfeng silently watched the two people in the air...
