It seems that the villain is targeting me.

This is the day they ship the goods, and Lao Mo, as the leader, should be present, but it is not known whether he is on the ground or in the underground facility.

But one thing is certain - until now, these people did not know that the police were outside, otherwise they would not be so calm.

"...There are a lot of people guarding here." Xiao Niao muttered to himself.

If the two people interrogated earlier were not lying, then most of the people in the underground facility should be concentrated nearby.

When the police start to encircle and break through, those who cannot escape will rush over here, take hostages and confront the police.

Xiao Niao observed his surroundings while struggling to organize his thoughts, "Hmm... my head hurts..."

【Concentrate and don't pass out.】

The sound of the system seemed to be the only reason why she could stay awake at this moment.

The voice was as clear and steady as ever, making Xiao Niao feel that he was not fighting alone.

"You might have a concussion," the system said. "I'll turn on the pain shield for you."

[Enabling this requires the host's permission, just give your verbal consent.]

Xiao Niao choked out a sob: "Why didn't you...open it earlier..."

System: [You didn't ask.]

Communicating with consciousness is very convenient, especially in this kind of injured situation, allowing Xiaoniao to complete communication without having to speak.

After silently agreeing, the pain shield begins to work.

.

The pain from the back of my neck slowly disappeared, and my body began to relax.

After a few seconds, apart from still feeling dizzy, there were almost no discomfort symptoms.

This feeling was so wonderful that Xiao Niao even felt his body was a little light and he was in better condition than ever before.

She asked curiously, "Since it doesn't hurt anymore, does that mean I won't have to worry about getting hurt anymore?"

The system said coldly: [No, this means that the probability of you accidentally killing yourself has increased significantly.]

System: [In any case, take it easy and don't mess around. We won't bury you if you die.]

Xiao Niao: "Oh."

This shouldn't be an illusion, she really felt that she was in much better spirits.

Xiao Niao raised his head and tried to find the entrance to the ventilation duct on the ceiling.

The light was a little dim, which made it more difficult for the bird to search, but soon... she caught sight of a pair of very eye-catching cat eyes on the ceiling.

If it weren't for such a dim environment, I might not be able to see it clearly.

In the darkness, Cat No. 4's eyes were like luminous stones, emitting a faint glow.

Xiao Niao used Number Four's eyes as coordinates and silently estimated the location of the vent.

Hiss... This position is not very good.

It was a bit too close to me, but it was far enough away from the cage area, so it was still acceptable.

Xiao Niao pulled as hard as he could on his wrists that were twisted behind his back - no, he couldn't pull them open, he had to use a sharp object to cut them open.

Fortunately, it was not difficult for her to get a knife.

-

Xiao Li felt that today was really unlucky for him.

About ten minutes ago, he passed by the operating room while strolling around bored, but found that the door that was always open in the past was tightly locked for some reason today.

Xiao Li was bored, so he knocked on the door and asked.

The person in the room responded, and he recognized that the person who spoke was the doctor who would be performing the organ removal surgery today.

Although I don't know why the man's voice sounded a little nervous, it was indeed him.

Normally, most people would be done for here.

But Xiao Li was a bit naive. He looked at the closed operating room and suddenly wanted to see what it was like when the doctors performed the surgery.

Normally, he would often watch those recorded videos - he was the one who was usually responsible for uploading the videos to foreign websites - but just watching the videos was definitely not as exciting as watching the live version.

But his father would never allow him to get involved in the "business" and usually only allowed him to do some very marginal chores.

Xiao Li couldn't understand. This was clearly a profitable business, and his father was doing it too. Why couldn't he do it himself?

Anyway, his rebellious spirit came over him, so he looked around and saw a small window for ventilation.

Xiao Li jumped with all his might, grabbed the railing, and then stretched his neck to look inside... and then he saw the doctor himself, who was beaten bloody.

He fell back to the ground with a thud.

After that, Xiao Li was actually quite excited. He called two thugs for help and started banging on the door.

If I could catch this intruder, I would have made a great contribution, and I would be able to show off in front of everyone, and Uncle Mo and my father would look at me with new eyes.

By then, Dad would have no reason not to allow me to participate in the "business".

Xiao Li had a beautiful idea. After pushing the door open, he was the first to rush in.

You can basically guess what happens next:

He was first drenched in salt water, then stepped on an electric wire, and finally was beaten by a bird with a metal water pipe, becoming one of the first two people to be knocked down.

Xiao Li was electrocuted so hard that he was completely dizzy. The people around him had to pinch his Ren Zhong for a long time before they woke him up.

He woke up furious—and even angrier when he discovered his nose had been broken.

Xiao Li came over angrily, holding a crowbar in one hand and covering his aching nose with the other.

The older brother guarding the door reached out to stop him: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Li pushed the other person away impatiently and walked straight into the house: "Don't worry about it!"

The big brother who was in charge of watching over the people was afraid that he would cause a death, so he followed him in and kept pulling and tugging at him, refusing to let go.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around—Old Mo hasn't spoken yet, so it's not your turn to mess around."

"I told you to leave it alone," Xiao Li said angrily. "My nose is crooked—even my dad never hit me!"

The eldest brother had a headache. He thought, whether your father beat you or not is none of my business. I am not your father. If I were, I would beat you three times a day.

After pulling and tugging, the two of them walked all the way to Xiao Niao.

Xiao Li recognized her at a glance - it was this damn thing who had disfigured himself with a water pipe before.

Xiao Niao had woken up by now and was leaning against the table with his knees bent, looking him up and down silently.

Xiao Li became angry when he saw that look. He weighed the crowbar in his hand and decided to teach the other party a lesson that he would never forget.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to smash the bird on the head, the door of the warehouse was suddenly pushed open and a person ran in panic from outside.

Xiao Li turned his head away.

The person who came was a middle-aged man - Xiao Li knew this guy, he was an uncle who often stayed with his father.

This old man would be fine if he didn't speak, but once he opened his mouth he shocked everyone.

He trotted over to Xiao Li and said with a horrified expression, "Your father is dead!"

Xiao Li felt that he was being scolded for no apparent reason, and a sense of rage rose in his heart.

He glared at the man fiercely: "Your father is dead!"

The other party ignored him - the old man seemed to be frightened, and only after running here in one breath did he feel relieved.

While gasping for breath, he unconsciously uttered more than twenty interjections with a strong sense of "mama", his face full of shock.

Xiao Li and the gatekeeper looked at each other and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

Seeing the other person's terrified look... he suddenly became a little unsure whether his father was really dead.

For a moment, Xiao Li even forgot that his face was disfigured. He grabbed the man's arm, wanting to pull him up and ask him questions.

"What's going on? Oh, don't breathe—get up and explain clearly."

Xiao Li pulled him and shook him: "What happened to my dad?"

"Your father was killed!" the middle-aged man blurted out, "That madman...that madman got a gun! So we all ran back."

The gatekeeper questioned: "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell Lao Mo?"

The middle-aged man stuttered for a moment, looked outside the door, and rubbed his hands a little awkwardly.

"I, I was going to tell him..."

"But halfway there, I heard the police breaking into the factory!"

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and said, "The bell was ringing so loudly... I got scared and ran underground."

It was a coincidence that the person who was originally guarding the password door was no longer at his post for some reason.

He then entered the password and hurriedly hid in.

Upon hearing such bad news, Xiao Li was still calm, but the gatekeeper's expression suddenly changed.

"There's a cop?!"

He yelled almost at the top of his lungs, and slapped the middle-aged man so hard that he spun around: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

The eldest brother jumped up on the spot as if his feet were on fire, turned around and walked out.

Xiao Li followed subconsciously.

When he was about to reach the door, he looked back as if possessed by a ghost.

Behind him, the place where Xiao Niao was originally tied up was now empty.

Xiao Li suddenly had a strong sense of foreboding.

Chapter 56: Anyway, let’s capture a few hostages first [Please refresh

He had been out for less than two minutes when the gatekeeper came back.

He didn't know when a pump-action shotgun appeared in his hand, and his face looked extremely ugly.

"Damn it," the eldest brother cursed as he loaded the bullet into the magazine, "that guy surnamed Mo locked the combination door, damn it!"

After learning that the police had come in, the eldest brother's first reaction was to run away.

But unfortunately, Lao Mo predicted his actions and remotely cut off the power to the password door, locking up everyone who was still in the underground facility.

The password door will automatically lock before the power is cut off, and people outside the door cannot come in and people inside the door cannot go out.

Of course, you can definitely pry it open by force, but it will take a lot of time.

By the time they had pried it open with great effort, the police would probably be waiting outside the door with the silver bracelet ready.

After the eldest brother found that the password door could not be opened, he heard Lao Mo's voice through the walkie-talkie he carried with him.

The other party gave the following general instructions: Don't just think about running away, keep the hostages safe, I will deal with the police, otherwise we will all be doomed.

I don’t know how many of the above words are true and how many are false.

But judging from the conclusion alone, they have indeed become turtles in a swamp, unable to escape even if they want to.

Upon closer inspection, Lao Mo's intentions can be described as extremely sinister.

The gatekeeper was disgusted, but he was forced to stay and share the hard times with Old Deng.

After putting down the walkie-talkie, he immediately turned back and took out the shotgun from the cabinet before anyone else.

This is also the most powerful weapon in the underground facility - in addition to this gun, the eldest brother also has an extra pistol in his hand.

At this time, the other people in the underground facility also received the news. They dropped their work and rushed over one after another.

There are actually only five or six people who are actually involved in the operation of the underground facilities - these people either have skills or possess violence, and are the core members of the criminal gang.

As for the rest, there are also people like Xiao Li who only do odd jobs on the margins, basically just to make a living and not participate in the core business.

In the end, except for the two unconscious surgeons, a total of nine people ran into the abandoned warehouse used to detain people.

There was a commotion in the house.

The children locked in the iron cage looked at the strange men who suddenly rushed in with fear.
