Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code
Chapter 366 Into the Tiger's Den
"Goodness, this infirmary is under lockdown, with guards on duty in shifts. I probably won't be able to get in, but I can basically confirm that Old Cat hasn't been moved."
Chen Feng pressed himself against the wall, hiding in the shadows around the corner of the corridor.
He was about 20 meters away from the infirmary, and he could see two burly men standing at the door, their waists bulging, clearly carrying something.
The two exchanged a few words every now and then, their eyes scanning both ends of the corridor warily.
He lowered his voice and relayed the latest information to his teammates outside. The sound of Xiao Zhou's rapid typing and his hurried breathing came through the headset.
Chen Feng knew that he was currently venturing deep into the area alone, and there was a high probability that his movements would be difficult, and there might even be traps waiting for him ahead.
But he couldn't just do nothing. Old Cat was his brother who had gone through thick and thin with him for five years; they had staked out locations together, chased cars together, and rescued people together.
However, he must be careful!
His caution made things much easier for Cang Xuan. Even though he set off later, he caught up with Cang Xuan halfway there.
At this moment, Cang Xuan was crouching in the shadows five meters behind Chen Feng. His breathing was barely audible, and his footsteps were silent.
When a skilled wolf alpha wants to remain hidden and silent, it is naturally difficult for humans to detect it.
At least Chen Feng didn't notice.
Even though he felt extremely tense and had a chill on the back of his head, he only thought it was a warning of danger for the operation.
After all, judging from their previous responses, the other side seemed rather overconfident.
"I avoided the first patrol team and was estimating their patrol schedule and patterns," Chen Feng said in a very low voice. "But there are surveillance cameras active ahead, and we need backup."
Xiao Zhou: "We've hacked into the system, so you don't need to worry about the surveillance system triggering an alarm. I've taken over their cameras, and the footage will loop through empty corridors; what they're seeing is a fake."
"But—" Xiao Zhou paused, his tone serious, "the patrol personnel are in three shifts, two people per shift, and they are suspected of carrying weapons, so it's best to avoid a direct confrontation. I've calculated their movement patterns through the surveillance footage; they rotate every seven minutes, with approximately two-minute intervals."
Chen Feng silently made a note of it.
"There will be a blind spot in five minutes. You can safely infiltrate it according to the instructions on your tactical goggles, but be aware that you only have two minutes to operate."
Xiao Zhou continued, "The internal situation is unclear, and external surveillance only covers a limited area, so we need to proceed with caution. Our priority is ensuring our own safety. If things go wrong, we should retreat immediately and find another way."
"receive!"
Chen Feng took a deep breath, pressed the edge of his tactical glasses, and faint blue lines appeared on the lenses. He repeatedly simulated the movements in his mind, making preparations.
Footsteps echoed down the corridor as the first patrol passed by. Chen Feng held his breath, pressing himself against the wall to blend into the shadows.
Two burly men walked past him three meters away, and he could even smell the mixture of cheap tobacco and cologne on them.
The footsteps faded into the distance.
After a moment of silence.
"Now is the time," Xiao Zhou's voice rang out.
Chen Feng flashed forward like a cheetah. His movements were swift, each step light and silent.
In ten seconds, he crossed the corridor and arrived at the hidden door on the side of the infirmary.
The door was ajar.
He gently pushed the door open a crack and slipped inside.
The strong smell of disinfectant hit me, almost suffocating me.
The clinic is small, about 20 square meters, with two beds, a medicine cabinet, and a desk against the wall.
There were some medical instruments piled up in the corner, rusty and looking like they hadn't been used in a long time.
The old cat was locked next to the innermost hospital bed.
His hands were handcuffed to the bed frame, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth, but he seemed to be in good spirits. His eyes were clear, and when he saw Chen Feng, he even had the strength to widen his eyes and let out a muffled "uh".
Chen Feng quickly stepped forward, cautiously observing the surroundings. Xiao Zhou, outside, monitored the situation simultaneously through tactical goggles, confirming that it was temporarily safe.
The old cat struggled to sit up, gesturing with its eyes to the thing in its mouth. Chen Feng reached out and ripped off the rag, lowering his voice, "What happened?"
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" The old cat spat twice. "I stumbled upon a drug injection scene."
He quickly recounted what had happened: he pretended to be unwell and came to the infirmary, intending to sneak in and check on things, but he happened to see two people about to give a dog an injection.
His actions were initially discreet and not reckless, but before anyone noticed him, the dog barked at the place where he was hiding.
Then the two sides met head-on and had no choice but to fight. However, the other side had more people and were armed with sticks. He knocked out two people, but was outnumbered and was captured.
Old Cat recounted what happened with a sense of helplessness, "However, during the fight, I broke a medicine bottle, and the medicine spilled into this corner. It's probably not cleaned up properly under the cabinet yet, so you should go and get some samples."
Chen Feng glanced at the corner of the wall and saw a faint trace of liquid, but it was mixed with blood, so he hadn't noticed it when he came in.
It was a very important sample, but he didn't go.
"Professionals will handle this in a bit," Chen Feng said, quickly checking the handcuffs. "Getting you out of here is the priority. I have one minute left."
Hearing that time was running out, Old Cat panicked: "You can't unlock this lock! I've checked it; it's not an ordinary handcuff, it's a primitive, solid anti-theft lock, you can't open it without a key. Even if you have lock-picking tools, it'll take you several minutes."
He glanced at the clock on the wall, then looked at Chen Feng: "Time is running out, you should leave quickly. They could be back at any moment. I'll be fine here alone, I won't die."
"Bullshit." Chen Feng rarely swore.
He frowned and pulled out a multi-tool from his waist.
He tried various methods to unlock the lock: prying, twisting, and turning.
However, the lock was indeed more stubborn than expected, and because of the body search upon entry, they did not have any tools that could be used to break the lock.
Time passed second by second.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Chen Feng's forehead.
"How long until the patrol arrives?" he asked through gritted teeth.
There was a two-second silence on Xiao Zhou's end, followed by a confused reply: "...It might not be urgent anymore, something's happened outside."
Chen Feng: ?
"The patrolmen... are gone and will never return."
Chen Feng: ?
"We've been watching the surveillance footage. They were supposed to go back the way they came, but when they got to the corner of the corridor, suddenly... they disappeared."
Chen Feng's hand trembled: "Disappeared?"
"Yes, they've disappeared. I've switched between several cameras, but I can't find them."
Xiao Zhou paused for a moment, then added, "And it wasn't just the first round; the second round of patrols also disappeared when they reached that spot."
"And since we've taken over the surveillance, they haven't discovered anything yet. In short, you have more time. Just be careful on your way back, and it's best to take another route."
Chen Feng: "…………"
