Chapter 266 Evacuation WellsThe next second, Qi Baozhen saw someone kicking the small window violently, "Thump—"She bent down to pick up the gun from the ground and backed away. The person above kicked it twice more, causing the small window frame to loosen and the glass to shatter."Crackling and popping—"Window frames and glass were scattered all over the floor.Jiang Yangxu poked his head out of the small window and greeted them with a smile: "Hi, there are so many people!"Sister Hua raised an eyebrow: "You're really slow."As Jiang Yangxu tossed the gun through the small window, he explained, "I don't know where you're being held. I have to look for people, look for guns, and avoid those patrolling prison guards. How can I not be exhausted?"Sister Hua smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you managed to get a few guns.""36, Sister Hua, is that enough? If not, I'll go get some more."Sister Hua: "Barely acceptable."Qi Baozhen lowered her eyes and carefully examined the gun that Jiang Yangxu had just thrown in. After confirming that it was undamaged, she asked, "Why didn't you use the main gate?"Jiang Yangxu helplessly spread his hands: "We can't leave. There are many patrolling prison guards nearby."After Jiang Yangxu threw the gun and bullets in, he said to Sister Hua, "I've brought the stuff. I'm leaving now. You guys hurry up."——The subway has reserved tunnels and abandoned station platforms.Pei Hening, holding a flashlight, led Chu Xuange inside for a quick look around. They emerged covered in dust and dirt, a faint metallic taste of blood lingering in her throat from the exertion: "I didn't expect the escape routes on this platform to be unusable. We'll just have to keep looking further ahead."Chu Xuange took a bottle of water out of the bag of snacks, unscrewed it, and held it to her lips: "Take a small sip, don't gulp it down."Drinking excessive amounts of ice water after strenuous exercise can easily trigger tracheopharyngeal spasms, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Chu Xuange didn't want her to die here.Pei Hening paused for a moment, then took a small sip from his hand.After resting and catching their breath, she glanced behind her and saw only a bright, dark light: "Aren't the people in the prison planning to arrest us?"Yes, Pei Hening did indeed pull some tricks to lead them in the opposite direction. But she didn't think the prison guards would be fooled by such clumsy methods for long; in her mind, the guards chasing them should be arriving by now.Chu Xuange screwed the bottle cap back on, put it back in the snack bag, listened to her slightly heavy breathing, took the flashlight from her hand to check the escape signs and the surroundings, and half-squatted in front of her: "No, come on up.""What?""I'll carry you on my back."Pei Hening decisively refused: "No need, I can run."In her heart, partnership is about equality and mutual benefit, not one-sided debt. She doesn't need Chu Xuange to sacrifice for her.She had barely finished speaking when she heard intermittent conversation."The warden's office door was not closed, and the surveillance camera in the office captured the escapees who escaped through the tunnel. They said it was a man and a woman.""Is it really necessary to send a whole squad to catch just two fugitives?""Of course it's necessary. With so much trouble in the prison, if we let prisoners escape, the warden can expect to be dismissed.""Forget about the warden, hurry up and find someone.""Captain, there's a connecting passage here. Shall we go take a look?"Pei Hening's heart tightened, and she pulled Chu Xuange back into the abandoned platform.Just as the two men had hidden themselves and turned off their flashlights, the four prison guards who had been speaking came through the connecting passage."Captain! There's an abandoned train station here!""search!"Pei Hening leaned closer to the man blocking her way and whispered, "Are you sure you can do it?""Okay." Chu Xuange paused, then said, "How about I give you one?"Pei Hening stretched her limbs briefly, "Two."A minute later, the prison guards came this way."Captain, there are footprints here!""They're here."Pei Hening listened intently, confirming that all four prison guards who had come from the connecting passage had arrived. Just as he was about to remind Chu Xuange, Chu Xuange rushed out and started fighting with two of the guards.Seeing that the other two were about to attack Chu Xuange, Pei Hening hurriedly went out.The prison guard to her left was holding a flashlight. When he saw her come out, he was about to draw his gun and kill her. Instead of retreating, Pei Hening stepped forward, punched him in the chin, grabbed his hand holding the flashlight, and with her elbow, she slammed it hard into his ribs!The prison guard groaned in pain and staggered, and Pei Hening seized the opportunity to snatch the flashlight from his hand.The prison guard to Pei Hening's right kicked her in the lower abdomen, a rather ruthless move.She shone a flashlight into his eyes, and the prison guard instinctively closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. Taking advantage of this moment, Pei Hening kicked him in the knee, and the prison guard fell to his knees: "You're asking for it! Where are you kicking me!"The guard on the left tried to struggle, but Pei Hening gave him no chance to breathe. She grabbed his hand and slammed him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. A rusty steel bar pierced his chest, blood pooled on the ground, and the stench of blood filled the air. He lay motionless.The prison guard on the right knelt on the ground, covering his eyes with his hands. When he came to his senses, Pei Hening's gun was already pressed against his head.Pei Hening was about to fire—"Wait, I have something I want to ask him."Chu Xuange dealt with the two prison guards swiftly and efficiently, without causing too much of a commotion."Go ahead and ask."Chu Xuange: "How many people did the prison send to arrest us?"The prison guard kneeling on the ground was very uncooperative. He scoffed, turned his head away, and made up his mind not to cooperate.Chu Xuange took off the bag of snacks from his body and handed it to Pei Hening: "Have some water, I'll ask."Pei Hening nodded, took the bag he was handed, picked up the three top-of-the-line searchlights from the ground, turned them off and stuffed them into her backpack, then went to the side to get a drink of water.Pei Hening rummaged through her bag for a long time but couldn't find her watch. She wanted to check the time.Let's go.Chu Xuange took the snack bag from her hand, and while holding her hand, he shone a flashlight around them."What time is it? When can we leave?"Chu Xuange tugged at his sleeve and glanced at the time: "It's 12:53. We'll be out soon."Are you sure the prison won't send people after us again?Chu Xuange stopped in his tracks: "They don't have time to worry about us.""?""It's an evacuation well!"The escape exits in the subway tunnel are not in the center of the tunnel, but at the two ends of the station and at evacuation shafts more than 600 meters apart. The evacuation shafts lead directly to the ground!
