Contact through the Wall

"Brother Dao, there's something wrong with the ground." Zhuang Xuteng waved him down and signaled to be gentler.

So Ge Gongdao moved lightly, curled up, carefully got off the ladder, and slowly landed on his feet, as if he was worried about stepping on the ground. This set of movements was a bit difficult for him, a big and strong man, and he was a bit clumsy.

It looks like a cat that has eaten too much and is wobbling.

"Look carefully over there." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to a place five meters away on the right side of the ladder: "Look at the traces on the ground and wall, are they concave? Hey, in the direction I pointed, it is almost thirty meters wide.

"

Ge Gongdao squinted his eyes and nodded slowly. "Indeed. The ground sank, leaving two obvious traces of old and new on the edge of the wall. Why does this make you alert?"

"When I left the factory three months ago, the ground was not like this. Well, from a process perspective, the factory behind would produce a lot of waste materials during production, which needed to be transported with forklifts or trucks, so they moved this line

The road is very solid. Now that the magic crystal factory is closed and there are no heavy objects to transport, how can the road sink?"

"Indeed, what you said makes sense, but you forgot that there is another possibility: there is a pit underground." Ge Gongdao said: "If you dig from below, the surface may go down."

"Is there anything to dig here? I heard that when the magic crystal factory was built, the entire land was cleared and tidied up. The factory buildings and transportation floors were reinforced. I believe there is nothing worth digging down here.

baby."

"You can't tell how some people's brains work. In this business, it's best to prepare early to see weird people and weird things." Ge Gongdao looked around and said, "Our main target is the guy next door.

Abandoned factory. If you think there is a problem with the ground, let's move north to avoid the sinking area."

"I think so too."

Zhuang Xuteng picked up the ladder, and the two of them walked an extra twenty meters and found a wall again. Ge Gongdao climbed up first, and after checking for a while, he made sure that no one was there, so he cut the barbed wire with pliers, pushed it to the left and right, and then used tape to seal it.

They are temporarily fixed to the wall, thus leaving an area free of obstacles.

Grasping the top of the wall with both hands, he pushed lightly with his feet. Ge Gongdao climbed up the wall, straddled it, and hooked his hands downwards. Zhuang Xuteng climbed up the ladder lightly and reached up at the top.

"Don't forget the rope." Ge Gongdao reminded.

"It's in my other hand, I didn't forget it." One end of the rope was held by Zhuang Xuteng, and the other end was tied to the top of the ladder.

The two of them grabbed each other's wrists tightly, and with a strong effort from the front, the people behind also sat on the wall. Then they used the rope they just mentioned to lift the ladder up, climbed over the wall, and put it on the other side. Just as they were about to go down, Ge

Gongdao suddenly said: "No, there seems to be someone here."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xuteng's heart almost stopped. He looked left and right, his eyes scanning every broken door and empty window of the abandoned building. At this time, a scene was generated in his mind: from some unknown place that he had not noticed.

Many people came out of the shadows, yelling and firing at him with pistols.

No, this is not what happened! Zhuang Xuteng swallowed, pulled his thoughts back from the illusion created by his imagination, and then concentrated.

He didn't notice any movement. There were two buildings on their side of the abandoned factory, one tall and one short. The tall one had three floors, and the short one was just a large bungalow. Both buildings were badly damaged, not to mention the wooden doors or glass, even the door frames.

The window frames and all the wall coverings have disappeared.

The abandoned buildings were like skulls, and those dark holes exuded a gloomy and unnerving aura. Excluding this aura, Zhuang Xuteng found nothing of note. He frowned and began his second investigation.

"Haha, are you shocked? I'm bluffing you." Ge Gongdao patted his shoulder, then slid down from the wall, stepped on the ladder, and found a stable foothold. "Come down, watch your step. Naike, I

This is to keep you from being too nervous."

"This kind of joke is not funny." Zhuang Xuteng was helpless, but he couldn't say anything more. He imitated Ge Gongdao's posture and stepped down the ladder from the wall. When his feet touched the ground, he felt much more at ease.

But it was at this time that he discovered something strange.

Just below the wall and the ladder, among several fragments of cement bricks, a cigarette butt was exposed. Zhuang Xuteng walked over and picked it up, pinched it lightly with his fingers, and said, "Brother Dao, there is someone here."

"show me."

Zhuang Xuteng gave him the cigarette butt and said at the same time: "It is dry. It rained in the city last night, so this cigarette butt can only be thrown after this morning. If the water accumulated after the rain is taken into account, it was dropped

It will be later."

"Indeed. This is Samsung brand old cigarette, cheap stuff. What do you think..." Before Ge Gongdao finished speaking, he saw his ears turning and he immediately became alert.

Zhuang Xuteng also heard faint footsteps, which should be two pairs of leather shoes dragging on the cement floor, making a "squeaking" sound. Someone was coming, and they were walking from the abandoned factory building to the south.

It was definitely too late to crawl back, so the two of them had to hide as quickly as possible. They simultaneously gave each other a warning to be silent and step softly, and then each person took the ladder in hand and walked away as fast as possible while still walking as quietly as they could.

Twenty meters away was an abandoned factory building with no doors or windows to block it. The two people hurriedly hid in. The darkness of the abandoned building swallowed up their shadows. At the same moment, two people were walking around with cigarettes in their mouths and cigarettes in their waists.

The electric baton patrol came over.

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao leaned against the wall, slowly sat down on the ground, and slowly put down the ladder in their hands. There was a lot of rubbish in the building. At this time, special care must be taken not to touch them or make any noise.

Both of their hearts were in their throats. It was clear that they had no time to cover the gap in the barbed wire fence. As long as the patrol officers glanced over there, they would immediately know that someone had slipped in. But now they had no way to close it.

I can only pray for luck to take care of this loophole.

Ge Gongdao bit his tongue, held the zipper of the bag with two fingers, and gently opened it. He slowly pulled out two short black sticks, handed one to Zhuang Xuteng, and then pointed to the button on the side of the stick.

The electric baton was the only weapon Zhuang Xuteng had at hand. Ge Gongdao gave him a signal, to the effect that if people outside found a problem, they would rush out, knock the two people down, and use the ladder to escape quickly.

Apart from that, they had no better solution for the time being. At this time, the two people patrolling outside approached, their footsteps could be heard clearly, and their conversation could be heard completely in their ears.

"I still hold the opinion that dogs are better than cats. Our problem here has never been rats, but meaningless patrols."

"Ah? Do you have a problem with patrolling? Don't you like to go out for a walk and stretch your legs?"

"What's the point? You're not allowed to smoke when you come out."

"You're a heavy smoker. You've made the underground a mess. Aren't you satisfied enough?"

"It's all because of Pincus' face. When I see him, I feel uncomfortable smoking."

"You're such a prick! There's a special exhaust room where all the smoke can be evacuated, but you don't go there to smoke. Wherever smoking is prohibited, there's no place like you. Let me tell you, Pink

Si did not hit you wrong at all."

"Fuck you! Where is that smoking room? You can finish the cigarette for me with a whoosh! No more, I have to smoke one."

"Fuck! Just finish it here, don't go back and be discovered again."

The metal cover of the lighter made a crisp snapping sound, and then a sharp puffing sound was heard. There was a wall between the patrolman and the two people who sneaked in. The two outside were free to use their feet.

Playing with gravel and rubbish, the two inside were so nervous that they gritted their teeth and held electric batons tightly in their hands.

That man was indeed a smoker. He finished a cigarette in just over ten seconds. He stubbed out the cigarette butt on the wall and threw it in through the empty window. The cigarette butt landed not far in front of Zhuang Xuteng, and the remaining trademark mark on it was very bright.

It's easy to identify, it's the same brand as the cigarette in the corner.

"Ahem, I finally feel better now. Let's take two quick steps and get back in time."

"Let me tell you what's good about you? If you pay more attention and don't make Pincus unhappy all day long, you can deduct less money." Another person said: "With more money, you can also buy some good cigarettes.

.This old leaf cigarette tastes too strong."

"This is called spicy fragrance, you know what the heck! When you are in a gang, you have to be happy and refreshed. I just look down on the face of Pincus guys. Why are you pretending to be such a big deal?"

"Okay, okay, don't say this again, lest he hear you."

"Hmph! Fortunately, we are almost done, so we don't have to be guard dogs here. I have to tell Brother Six and try to arrange for me to go to the Liming District. It's a lot of fun there!"

"Oh, you..."

The voices of the two people gradually faded away. Ge Gongdao stood up secretly and leaned out of the window to take a look. When they turned the corner and walked away, he took a deep breath and said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Huh... you scared me. How can you behave?"

Not bad, the response was pretty quick.”

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said, "It sounds like those two are gang members?"

"Indeed, they are gangsters. I think they may be from the Will-O-Wisp Gang." Ge Gongdao pointed to the back of his neck and said: "The people from the Will-O-Wisp Gang used fluorescent materials to tattoo a skeleton here. I saw a little bit.

The signs are not completely confirmed.”

"Why are the gang members here? Why did they occupy the abandoned factory?"

"I don't know. This is quite strange. The Ghost Fire Gang usually operates in the east of the city, such as Liming District and the Old Hub District. They occupy more than half of the city. They rarely come to the industrial area in the west. This is the motorcycle gang.

territory."

Zhuang Xuteng didn't know much about the distribution of gangs, so he couldn't speak on this topic.

"Brother Dao, what should we do next?"

"Now that we know they are here, we should be more careful. There is no need to conflict with them, just do a good job of terrain reconnaissance." Brother Dao looked around and said, "Follow me, let's explore these old buildings first.
