Chapter 49 Finding an Escape Route
"Hurry, check if there is any other exit!" Su Wanqing's voice was trembling. She tightly grasped the backpack containing important information from her space ability and tried to calm herself down.

The sirens were deafening, as if announcing the danger they were about to face.

Lu Zhao's fingers slid quickly across the console screen, quickly browsing through the complex floor plans.

"The emergency exits of the entire area are blocked, and the only remaining exits are ventilation ducts, which are barely wide enough for one person to pass through."

He looked up, his expression somewhat serious. "But I'm not sure where the other end of the pipe leads to."

"Ventilation duct?" Xiao Ran frowned. His warrior's instinct made him wary of such a small and dark place.

"That place is definitely not safe. There might be guards lying in ambush, or it might be blocked by something. Then we'll be trapped like a turtle in a jar."

Lin Che walked to the corner, pushed aside the pile of discarded equipment and scattered documents, revealing a dark pipe opening.

He shone his flashlight inside. The inside of the tunnel was narrow and dark, barely enough for one person to crawl forward.

"It looks like the pipe is still intact, but it's narrow and probably full of dust and debris."

Su Wanqing walked over to Lin Che and carefully observed the entrance to the duct. "The structure of this ventilation duct seems a bit unreasonable. It seems like someone has deliberately hidden it."

She took out a telescope and observed the structure inside the pipe. "The pipe has many turns and is quite long."

"In short, we must find an escape route as soon as possible."

Lu Zhao closed the computer. "The current situation doesn't allow us to have many options. Let's take shelter in the ventilation duct first, and then look for an opportunity."

"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded. He knew that Lu Zhao was right. The most important thing at the moment was survival. He had to stay away from this dangerous control room first.

"Let's act now. I'll cover the rear and make sure no one attacks us by surprise."

"I'll explore the way first." Lin Che said, bent down, and entered the ventilation duct without hesitation.

He was agile and quick, and soon disappeared into the depths of the dark pipe.

"Lin Che, be careful!" Su Wanqing shouted, her tone full of worry.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Lin Che's voice came from the pipe, sounding a little suppressed.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, adjusted her backpack, followed Lin Che, and carefully entered the ventilation duct.

The inside of the pipe was indeed narrow and dark. She could only crawl forward, supporting herself with her hands on the cold metal wall, moving her body with difficulty.

"What are the spatial abilities?" Lu Zhao followed behind Su Wanqing and asked softly.

"The most important information is here, along with some first aid supplies and compressed biscuits."

Su Wanqing replied, her voice becoming somewhat subdued, "I hope it helps."

Lu Zhao nodded. He knew that Su Wanqing's spatial ability was very practical. It could store a large amount of supplies and save their lives at critical moments.

"Is there any water?"

"Yes, I've prepared enough water bottles." Lin Che's voice came again, "Everyone, please be frugal."

Xiao Ran finally got into the ventilation duct. He carried an assault rifle on his back and stuck close to the wall of the duct, looking behind him vigilantly to prevent any enemies from chasing him.

"Be careful, you may encounter danger at any time."

The ventilation duct was narrow and dim, and the air was filled with a long-stolen musty smell.

They could only rely on the weak light provided by the flashlight and move forward carefully.

The twists and turns of the pipes make people lose their way, as if they have entered a huge maze.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Che suddenly stopped. "There's a fork in the road ahead."

His voice was a little hesitant, "Both pipelines lead to different directions, I don't know which way to go." "Let me see." Lu Zhao took out a flashlight from his backpack and rushed to the fork in the road.

He carefully observed the direction of the two pipes and used a computer to connect to the nuclear power plant's ventilation system, trying to find a layout diagram of the system.

"The pipeline runs relatively south and appears to lead to an abandoned storage room."

Lu Zhao pointed to the pipeline on the left and said, "This pipeline leads to a control center, but there may be guards stationed there."

"The storage room in the south? Is there anything there?" Su Wanqing asked.

"According to the map, there are some spare supplies and equipment stored there, but I can't be sure what exactly they are."

Lu Zhao replied, "However, it should be safer there than the control center."

"How about this, let's choose the pipeline in the south first and see if we can find something useful."

Xiao Ran suggested, "If it really doesn't work, let's try another route."

"Okay." Lu Zhao nodded. "We'll take the pipeline to the south. Everyone be careful."

They continued to move forward along the pipeline in the south. The dust inside the pipeline became thicker and thicker, and the air became more and more polluted.

Su Wanqing felt that she was having difficulty breathing. She covered her mouth and nose tightly and tried hard to maintain her balance.

"What should we do now?" Su Wanqing asked in a low voice, her voice a little weak.

"We have to find a safe place as soon as possible."

Lu Zhao replied, "I hope this ventilation system isn't completely controlled by the enemy. We can use it to escape from here."

"What if the ventilation duct is blocked by the enemy?" Xiao Ran asked, his tone full of worry.

"In that case, we have no choice but to force our way in," Lu Zhao replied. "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must fight for our chance of survival."

Lin Che suddenly stopped. "There seems to be something blocking the way ahead." His voice was a little nervous.

"What is it?" Xiao Ran asked. He immediately raised the rifle in his hand and prepared for battle.

"It's a bunch of abandoned equipment and debris that's blocking the pipes completely."

Lin Che replied, “We have to clean up these things before we can move on.”

"I'll clean it up." Xiao Ran said, walked to Lin Che, and began to dismantle the abandoned equipment with the rifle in his hand.

The sound of metal colliding echoed in the narrow pipe, sounding particularly harsh.

Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao were on guard on the side, always paying attention to the movements around them to prevent any enemies from suddenly appearing.

After some effort, Xiao Ran finally cleared out the abandoned equipment and debris, and the pipeline was unblocked again.

"Okay, we can move on." Xiao Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

They continued to move along the pipeline, hoping to find a safe place as soon as possible and escape their current predicament.

"After we get out, we must hand over this evidence to a reliable scientific research institution."

Su Wanqing said, "We can't let those people continue to harm humanity."

"I agree." Lu Zhao nodded, "But we still need to find more direct evidence to reveal the truth. The evidence we have now is not sufficient."

"We must continue to investigate the conspiracy behind the virus," Xiao Ran said. "We absolutely cannot let them succeed."

"We all agree." Lu Zhao nodded. "As long as it's for the future of mankind, we must pay any price."
