Chapter 142: Chaos in the City
Rong Yuan looked at Wang Xing coldly. He was now certain that the man in front of him who thought he had control over his life and death was just a chess piece put out in the open for testing - no, such a stupid guy probably didn't even qualify to be a chess piece. At most, he could only be regarded as a small stone to explore the way.
Facing this stupid and arrogant face, there was only one word he wanted to say - "Get lost", but the purpose and identity of the others were unclear, and he didn't want to end the game so quickly, so the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally he said reluctantly: "I think... I need to think about it."
"Consider it?" Wang Xing seemed unhappy after his attempt was frustrated. He frowned and looked at Rong Yuan. After a while, he seemed to have figured it out and felt that such a thing really could not be decided immediately. So he nodded and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Then you have to hurry up... Give me an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest. Otherwise, if Peng Gao wants to do something to you, I may not be able to stop him!"
Rong Yuan didn't say anything. He felt that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would not be able to help but say something that would definitely anger the guy in front of him.
Wang Xing left with a bit of disappointment and expectation. He couldn't stay here for too long, because even though he was slow-witted, he could feel that the longer he sat next to Rong Yuan, the more attention the other fugitives would pay to them. Some of the people's vague glances were like knives scraping his back, and the little man's animal-like survival instinct reminded him that if he continued to stay, he might not see the sun tomorrow morning.
As soon as Wang Xing walked away, several people moved, as if they wanted to come over. But they immediately stopped and looked over warily, their eyes full of suspicion and vigilance. While these people were hesitating, a person no one expected came through them. He seemed to be completely unaware of the attention of others. He walked to Rong Yuan naturally, without talking to him or even looking at him. He directly pulled a chair from the side and placed it against the wall, then sat down, crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and looked like he was going to sleep.
Rong Yuan was speechless.
Because of this unexpected change, the pheromones that were fermenting in the room suddenly seemed to fade. No one wanted to have an unsociable bystander beside them when they were confessing to the priest. Similarly, when this person was clearly trying to be a light bulb, several people suppressed the idea of communicating with Rong Yuan and decided to wait for an opportunity.
It's not that no one wants to chase him away, but this guy is not easy to mess with among the fugitives. He is strong, brave, careful, and smart. Under the premise that some people deliberately hide, he is the second most important person in the prison escape gang after Peng Gao. Because he is taciturn but always hits the point, he found suspicious points several times during the escape and prevented everyone from being arrested by the police, so his prestige is slightly higher than Peng Gao.
——Is this guy protecting him?
Rong Yuan looked at the man who was less than half a meter away from him and laughed in his heart.
This person is Zhou Dong. He just finished taking a shower and shaved. He has a faint scent of shower gel on his body. He also changed into a set of clothes, which didn't fit him well and were a bit tight. After a while, light sweat stains appeared on his back.
The last time they met was when they saw each other in the hotel when they killed Yu Qiang. Of course, Zhou Dong had no idea that he was there at that time. At that time, it seemed that he was under the control of the police. Rong Yuan was busy with his own affairs, and Xiao Xiao's invitation made him even more upset. He had no time to care about a wanted criminal. Later, he thought that the father of the rich second generation killed by Zhou Dong would not let this person walk out of prison alive, but he didn't expect that he would appear in front of him.
Originally, this guy's life should have had nothing to do with him, but he appeared in his field of vision again and again, making people feel that this world is sometimes surprisingly small.
Perhaps due to life in prison, Zhou Dong has changed a lot since the last time I saw him. His strong muscles make him look much tougher, and the bookish air he once had is almost gone. The deep and shallow scars on his exposed face and arms show that he has not had a smooth time recently. There is also a long knife scar on his left cheek, but he doesn't seem to care about it.
None of the fugitives were good at cooking, so they barely cooked a meal of boiled meat, which seemed to taste good with salt. Kong Qingchuan gave Rong Yuan a glass of boiled water and a small bowl of broth, in which two pieces of dark brown meat floated. The broth looked disgusting because of the random addition of seasonings, and Rong Yuan didn't touch it at all. Later, Li Zhanpeng, who woke up at night, ate it all.
As night fell, the group of people with their own ulterior motives found their own places to sleep. The real jailbreakers were still looking forward to the money they would get the next morning. According to the agreed-upon equal distribution principle, everyone would get one million - although this was not a lot, for many people who had no place to live, it was a huge sum of money that could change their lives.
However, none of the people with ulterior motives actually fell asleep when they lay down, because they knew in their hearts that this night would never be peaceful.
…
"Hu-sh-hu-sh-"
Wang Xing was sleeping on the empty test bench with his arms and legs spread out, snoring as loud as a train whistle. He also smacked his lips and scratched his belly from time to time, soundly asleep.
Rong Yuan once again confirmed the stupid nature of this guy.
He closed his eyes, blocking out the influence of Wang Xing's snoring, and concentrated his attention to listen carefully.
They turned off the TV and went to sleep before midnight. It was already three in the morning, and only four people were actually asleep in the room. In addition to Wang Xing, Cui Xuanyao, who had been walking around in the lab at the beginning, also fell asleep, occasionally mumbling a few words and calling "Mom". At this time, this young man in his early twenties looked particularly young and immature. Peng Gao slept very lightly, as if he was very restless and any big noise could wake him up. Li Zhanpeng occasionally groaned once or twice, as if his wounds were torturing him in his sleep.
Kong Qingchuan tossed and turned in sleep. He lay down on the ground with a layer of newspaper spread out. Every time he turned over, he could hear a "rustling" sound. Perhaps because he was afraid of alarming others, he moved very slowly and lightly, so that the piercing sound only sounded after several seconds, which tortured everyone's ears for more than ten times longer.
But no matter whether it was Wang Xing's unique snoring or the noise Kong Qingchuan made unintentionally, no one else responded, as if they could not hear it at all. Even Wang Wenzhong, who looked the most irritable, only made a smooth and even breathing sound, as if he was really asleep .
That's probably what they want others to think.
Rong Yuan leaned sideways and put his ear against the wall so that he could hear sounds from farther away.
There was a short whistle, like a compressed air stream being squeezed out of a thin tube - that was the sound of a gun with a silencer; a dull sound, and the ground seemed to be shaking slightly - that was the sound of a human body falling to the ground without control; some people were shouting, some were fighting, and some were screaming halfway and then stopped abruptly.
--here we go.
No matter what force it is, they finally began to show their ferocious fangs.
"call out--"
It seemed as if a small object was flying through the air at a very fast speed, making a sound similar to that of fireworks rising into the sky, and then a few faint dull sounds came from a few doors above my head.
"Bang. Bang."
Rong Yuan seemed to be able to see the scene in the darkness - on a tall building in the distance, a man calmly loaded bullets into his gun, and then fired continuously at several people lying on the roof, waiting for something. He killed people like killing a chicken, and there seemed to be no fluctuation at all, and it seemed that he didn't even need to aim. From the first person to the last person on the roof, the death time was no more than five seconds. They fell to the ground one after another before they could figure out what happened to their companions.
The blood molecules seemed to penetrate the gaps between the tiles and cement into the warehouse, and Rong Yuan could smell the smell of blood. Although the people in the room didn't have his hearing, they seemed to have noticed something, and their breathing changed instantly.
In the darkness, the dial on Rong Yuan's wrist suddenly trembled a few times, and the metal thread for adjusting the watch hands suddenly popped out. Rong Yuan took a look and put it into his ear, and a pea-thin sound suddenly came.
"Rongyuan, from yesterday to today, there have been jailbreaks in eight prisons in City A. Nanchang Prison, one escaped, it took thirteen minutes to arrest him; Beishui Prison, three escaped, it took one hour and twenty-eight minutes to arrest them all; Shanxin Prison..." It reported the number of escapees and arrests in each prison in turn, and finally said: "Nanhu Prison, twelve escaped, it took three hours and fifty-five minutes to arrest one, and the remaining nine were right next to you. A total of twenty-three people have not yet been brought to justice."
——For such a large-scale jailbreak, it is impossible to say that no one has carefully planned it for a long time. But what is the purpose?
Without being modest, Rong Yuan glanced at the group of people pretending to be asleep in the room... Was it for him?
"In addition, the authorities have implemented a comprehensive information blockade and news censorship on the jailbreak incident. But starting from 10 o'clock last night, a large-scale leak suddenly appeared on the Internet, including pictures and the course of the incident. The official website of City A even confirmed it for a while. Although the official post was deleted later and claimed to be a hacker attack, the incident has been widely circulated and almost everyone knows about it."
——This is causing panic in the entire city and exerting public pressure on the police in City A.
Rong Yuan thought to himself.
"At 11:30 last night, an explosion occurred at the First Hospital of City A. Five people were injured, one seriously, but no one has died. The Public Security Bureau of City A received a call reporting that a total of seven bombs had been installed in the hospital, and one would explode every hour. So far, one has exploded, killing three and injuring seven. Two have been cleared, and the whereabouts of the remaining four are unknown. The entire police force of City A is investigating the bombs."
"Half an hour ago, a fire broke out at the Meimei Garment Factory, which is half an hour's drive from here. All nearby fire trucks and ambulances were urgently called in. The nearest main road leading to here was jammed with traffic, and it will be impossible to restore traffic before tomorrow morning."
"Since ten minutes ago, there have been exchanges of fire between unknown armed groups in three locations within a one-kilometer radius. The chances that they are targeting you are over ninety-three percent. You should take countermeasures immediately."
——A big deal!
If all these unexpected changes were because of him, even Rong Yuan, who was always confident, felt that it was a bit too much. In other words, he knew that since the cotton candy came out, there were people around him protecting him, such as the factory guards and security guards, which Jin Bai also mentioned to him. But is the power protecting him strong and tight enough to force the other party to take such measures?
Although Rong Yuan was shocked, he was not panicked. No matter how many parties were fighting and how powerful each party was, there was one unexpected factor that could not be considered in this melee - that was how far he could go.
“Ka-ra!”
With a crisp sound, the glass on the top of the warehouse was suddenly shattered, and a small ball was thrown in. When it landed, a large amount of milky white smoke burst out with a hissing sound. Kong Qingchuan looked at it blankly, tilted his head and fell asleep.
——Hypnotic bomb!
