Chapter 49 p1
After throwing the tranquilizer gun into her space, Ji Yang emerged from the water. The two men had already fallen into a deep sleep, one after the other. But given that the scene just now might have been seen, she didn’t dare to let them live. She finished them off one by one and stored them in her static space. This way, she could directly say that she was very lucky, and that there was no one guarding the water surface when she had appeared.
Then, she entered her space, quickly took off her diving suit, and carefully released the submersible. She pressed the submerge button with the key. It was already in a sealed state in her space. At this moment, controlled by the key, it automatically and slowly sank.
This was her escape route.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had to cut that window sill.
She was just afraid of being questioned about how she had appeared.
Then, Ji Yang began to go up. Besides guarding the water surface, worried that someone would emerge from the water, there were also people guarding the corridor windows of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth floors.
However, this time, they were in a patrol mode, two people together, going from the left side of the corridor to the right.
After listening to their footsteps for a while and confirming that they had started to go far, Ji Yang went directly to the middle of the twelfth-floor stairs.
She stopped here.
It wasn’t until the sound of footsteps approached again, and someone complained unhappily, “I’ve walked back and forth more than a hundred times. I’m so tired! When is the shift change coming?!”
“I don’t know. The big boss said that we can’t let the government see the pattern, so we just have to wait,” the other person also said in an unhappy tone.
The sound of chatting made it easier to know the distance. When the two of them had gone a little further, taking this opportunity, Ji Yang quickly went up to the thirteenth floor. The shoes she had specially changed into, plus her deliberate control, made her footsteps even quieter than theirs.
After passing the stairwell, Ji Yang paused to rest.
There were also people guarding the fourteenth floor, but it looked about the same as downstairs, so she went up at the right time.
Then she went to the fifteenth and sixteenth floors.
—
The sixteenth floor was finally unguarded and was relatively much quieter, but she could hear that most of the people were not asleep. Some were playing cards, and some were having fun. It was quite lively.
Ji Yang continued up. Who would have thought that just as she reached the eighteenth floor, she would hear a burst of hurried footsteps and an anxious voice, “Damn it, the boss said to let me take over in thirty minutes, but I overslept. Damn it!”
“Hurry up, hurry up!” another person was also anxious. “I told you to set an alarm.”
“Alright, my bad.”
The sound was getting closer.
Ji Yang immediately hid by the main door.
They brushed past. Hearing the two of them’s voices go far, she quickly continued up. She finally got close to the nineteenth floor. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she noticed a burst of footsteps approaching this side.
She hid again and heard one of them say, “Tsk, has the big boss’s anger not dissipated yet? Didn’t he say that we can get the yacht the day after tomorrow, and our second-in-command can also come back?”
“He must be getting angrier as he sleeps, and he wants to vent again,” the other person said. Suddenly, he heard a tragic scream from a certain house on the nineteenth floor and shivered. “Is that surnamed Zheng still hitting people?”
“Probably. This person is really f*cking twisted. The other person didn’t even offend him. It’s not enough to tie these two people up. He even has to go and teach them a lesson from time to time. He’s sick.”
The two of them went down to the nineteenth floor, turned a corner, and went to the right.
Ji Yang immediately followed.
The tragic screams were also becoming more and more obvious, but they also felt weaker and weaker. It was estimated that they couldn’t take the beating anymore.
The two of them knocked on the door. Soon, the noise stopped. And at this time, the two people at the door suddenly felt a pain in their backs, as if something had hit them. Before they could react, a wave of dizziness came over them, making their bodies sway.
The moment the main door opened, the two of them fell down in unison.
The gloomy-looking young man hadn’t even figured out what was going on when he felt a pain in his chest. He subconsciously looked down and saw a needle sticking out of his chest.
The moment the dizziness came, he vaguely realized that this thing seemed to be a tranquilizer needle for beasts? The dose was really large!
He didn’t even have time to call for help.
Three people had fallen in a row. Ji Yang couldn’t help but praise this tranquilizer needle. The efficiency was too high!
Ji Yang directly stepped over the three of them and went into the house. At this time, the people in the house had also heard the sound of them falling to the ground and came over to take a look.
Just as they met, there were two more sounds.
Two tranquilizer guns quickly shot into their bodies. Just as the two of them were about to say something, their mouths opened, but the effect of the tranquilizer had already shown. Their tongues moved, but they couldn’t make any sound, and they also fell down.
Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked around again. This time, she didn’t find anyone still standing. There were only the two people lying in the living room of this house. There were also bloodstains on the ground. The two of them were curled up, their breathing heavy and occasionally trembling from the pain of their wounds. On their exposed hands, there were mottled bloodstains, and a finger was conspicuously missing from their index finger, but it had not been bandaged.
Guo Yao and Xue Yuanyang were struggling to endure the pain when they heard the noise from behind. They thought it was Zheng Youning again and were resigning themselves to their fate. But it was still quiet. They felt that something was wrong. When they turned their heads, they saw a person who shouldn’t be here.
In that moment, Xue Yuanyang’s pupils shook.
At this time, he had actually seen Ji Yang?! And a Ji Yang holding a weapon!!!
“Mmm!” Just as Xue Yuanyang was about to speak, his mouth was covered.
Ji Yang frowned and said in a low voice, “I’m here to save you. Don’t talk. These two guns, you know how to use them, right?”
She handed over two pistols.
Xue Yuanyang nodded desperately. He held the gun with his uninjured hand, his wide eyes staring at the face that was so close to him, his heart pounding, excited, happy, incredulous, and relieved…
Guo Yao also realized something. His face, which was red from a fever, also showed a look of surprise. He pointed at Ji Yang and then looked at Xue Yuanyang.
“That’s right, she’s here to save us!” Xue Yuanyang whispered. The two of them supported each other and got up.
But just as they were about to leave, he suddenly pointed to one of the rooms and whispered, “Can you take one more person? He’s also being held here like us. He’s very pitiful.”
After he finished speaking, he quickly added, “If it’s not possible, then forget it. I just saw that he was also captured. It’s a bit miserable to be locked up there for two days without being given anything to eat…”
Ji Yang’s movements paused. As expected, he was still a saint. But he knew his limits a little more than the first time.
She didn’t reject this. She thought that saving one was still saving. Anyway, she didn’t plan on taking them to fight their way out. So, she nodded and quickly went to open the door. The room was not locked. As soon as she entered, she saw a man in a slightly better condition than the other two, sitting dejectedly in a corner. Seeing her come in, he immediately looked at her warily.
Ji Yang pointed outside. “I’m here to save people. Do you want to go together?” With that, she pointed her gun at him. “I can take you, but if you dare to expose us, you’ll be the first to die.”
At this time, Xue Yuanyang also carefully moved over and gestured desperately at him.
Go!
If you don’t go now, you’ll be done for!!!
The man stared at her for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and got up. Ji Yang felt that this person was walking too slowly. Only then did she notice that one of his legs could barely be used. With every step he took, his face would twitch, and it was very painful. She didn’t know how this person had offended the big boss of the White Tiger Base.
She simply carried this person and then signaled for the other two to quickly follow.
This place was not safe. Once the government appeared, this group of people would definitely rush over to grab hostages and threaten them. This door probably wouldn’t last long if it were hammered a few times.
At this time, the corridor was actually safe. It was late at night, and it was hot. Everyone was either sleeping or having fun and would not wander around.
She took the three of them out of the room. Seeing the people lying at the door, Xue Yuanyang and Guo Yao showed complicated expressions, but they did not delay and continued to step over them and follow Ji Yang up.
There was no one living above the twentieth floor. This building had a total of twenty-five floors. The higher you went, the more difficult it was to climb the stairs. Without an elevator, everyone was not very fond of climbing stairs.
So, the four of them quietly passed the twentieth floor. Just as they were about to continue up, they found that a large iron gate had been installed at the stairwell of the twenty-first floor!
The three of them paused, their faces green. They were so anxious that they were flailing their arms and legs, not daring to speak, and could only gesture desperately: We’re done for, we’re done for. We’re going to be left here!
What to do now?!
Ji Yang calmly took out a wire and said silently, “Just a moment.”
The three who were in a panic: “???”
This skill was something she had learned from an old master in her previous life. During the extreme cold, when she was looking for food, she had saved a lot of trouble with this skill, and her whole person had relaxed a lot.
At this time, it was also very easy to open the lock inside. She carefully pulled open the large iron gate. Fortunately, the large iron gate did not make any strange noises. After all three of them had passed, Ji Yang locked the large iron gate again and pulled the three of them to continue up.
All the way up, they reached the twenty-third floor. Ji Yang finally found an intact entrance door. She was overjoyed and once again took out a wire to pry the door.
The main door quickly opened with a “click.” It was empty inside. No wonder no one had come over.
Ji Yang threw the three of them in. “Stay inside!”
“What about you?!” Xue Yuanyang saw that she had no intention of coming in and said anxiously, “Let’s wait together! If the government officials know that we have escaped, they will come over soon!”
Ji Yang: “Don’t worry about me. I have my own business.”
With that, she closed the door.
Leaving the two injured people in the room, looking at each other, and one injured person licking his wounds alone.
The two of them had just had a finger cut off during the day. They were already a little feverish, and they had been humiliated by their former brothers. They only felt that life was bleak and almost thought of just dying with that dog.
Who would have thought that Ji Yang would appear out of nowhere!
Now that they had come to their senses, the gratitude in their chests was even more indescribable. There was also the fear and surprise of having survived a disaster. They couldn’t control their tears and later directly held their heads and cried.
After they had cried enough, Xue Yuanyang looked at his good brother and said with some pride, “She is Ji Yang, my stepsister.”
Guo Yao: “?!!!”
After a long while, he murmured, “Brother, I really don’t think you’re worthy of our sister. Your stepmother really dotes on you. She actually let you two go on a blind date!”
Xue Yuanyang: …
He sniffed. “I know!”
