When it reached two-thirds of the way down, about seven or eight meters, the repaired iron frame had reached its top.
Further down, there is only an empty vertical hole of about half a meter.
Sir Zhang hung on the last iron rod and continued to listen for any movement below.
After confirming that there was no sound from below, he stretched out his hand directly this time, but slightly opened his feet, stepped on the wall left and right, and then slowly descended down as if walking.
Zhang Pin took every step very steadily.
Just like that, when he saw the empty space below, there was only about five meters above the ground.
At such a small distance, Sir Zhang did not move slowly anymore, but directly put his feet away and then fell towards the ground.
Bang——
After Zhang Pin landed, he quickly rolled off the ground and then looked around.
After seeing what was going on around him, he felt a lot more relieved.
Because the place is empty and there are no ambush people.
But even though there was no one around, Zhang Pin did not relax his vigilance.
Because inside the underground tunnel, he saw very clear tire tracks and dust still floating in the air.
These evidences clearly show that a convoy passed here not long ago.
Toot toot—
Just as Zhang Pin was observing his surroundings, a whistle suddenly sounded from ahead.
Zhang Pin looked around, quickly found a corner with piles of stone slabs, and hid behind it.
"Don't come down. The height of the iron fence is too high. I'll go to the front to see if there's any ambush there. Then I'll drive back and come in directly from the main entrance."
Zhang Pin took out his walkie-talkie and gave Chen Jiaju and others a reminder.
Even though it seemed easy for him to jump from that height just now, if he were an ordinary person, the risk would still be very high, especially now that there are cars approaching here.
"Copy that!" Chen Jiaju's voice came from the intercom.
If Zhang Pin hadn't shown his hand at the beginning, Chen Jiaju would definitely not have answered so readily now.
After all, he is a person who likes to take unconventional paths, even if he knows that going down vents like this is troublesome.
But with Zhang Pin in front of him, Chen Jiaju evaluated his ability in his mind. Even if he could get down from here, he would definitely be in a mess.
Although Chen Jiaju was convinced by Zhang Pin, he still liked to secretly compete with Zhang Pin on some things.
At times like this, when he saw that he was no match for Zhang Pin, he no longer insisted on choosing to lose face.
Zhang Pin naturally didn't know why Chen Jiaju was so obedient at the moment, and he didn't really care.
Firstly, it was because Chen Jiaju was always more obedient in front of him, and secondly, the sound of cars was getting closer and closer.
Didi didi——
The car was driving and honking its horn. Zhang Pin was not sure whether the other party was honking a warning because the lights in the tunnel were dim, or whether the honking contained some secret signal.
After hearing the continuous sound of the whistle, Zhang Pin thought for a moment, then picked up a few stones piled in front of him and threw them into the middle of the road.
After throwing the stone, Zhang Pin thought for a while and simply walked to the uncovered corner opposite to stand. Then he picked up a stone and smashed all the emergency lights nearby, leaving only a pile of stones.
The light at that location.
In this way, although there is nothing to cover, because Sir Zhang is standing in the corner, if someone comes over, he will immediately pay attention to the other side.
The car itself has lights. The reason why Sir Zhang destroyed the emergency lights was not to hide, but to attract the driver's attention.
Not long after Zhang Pin broke the emergency light, a beam of headlights shone from a distance.
Sir Zhang took advantage of the light just coming over and adjusted his position slightly.
Soon, he saw a car coming from the opposite direction.
The opponent's speed was neither too fast nor too slow, and the whistle never stopped.
Buzz buzz——
Just when Zhang Pin thought that the other party would stop because of the stones blocking the road and the dim lights, the car continued to drive forward without slowing down at all.
However, the other party obviously did not notice Sir Zhang standing in the corner.
Crunch——
But not long after we drove forward, the other party's car had to stop.
Because the chassis of the car has been stuck by rocks.
"Hey, why are the lights here broken?"
Soon, the car stopped, and the people on the car realized belatedly that the emergency lights inside the tunnel had been extinguished.
Zhang Pin had overlooked a problem before. Because the car itself had lights, it was difficult for the driver to notice the dim emergency lights in the tunnel itself.
"careful!"
Da da da——
The next second, another voice sounded in the car, followed by the roar of a submachine gun, and a series of bullets were fired at the location of the pile of rocks.
"There's no one there. Why are you so suspicious? Go quickly. We've been delayed for half an hour because we have to break up."
After the sound of bullets stopped, the driver looked over there. When he saw no one, he couldn't help but complain.
"Boss is simply too careful. He always thinks someone will follow us secretly. We have been hiding here for more than a month. If anyone knew we were here, they should have come long ago."
"Then what can we do? If you can, you can leave directly with this car of gold, but do you have a way to leave London?"
Hearing the driver's complaints, the gunman who had just opened fire spoke with an indifferent expression.
The two of them obviously didn't deal with each other that way. Simon did this intentionally to prevent them from escaping with the gold in private.
"Hmm."
Hearing the gunman's ridicule, the driver hummed, but eventually changed the subject.
"I'll go down and move it. Maybe the car in front of me ran over the stone and left it unattended."
The driver chose to change the topic. Even if they were in the same team, everyone couldn't be of the same mind. Although the driver was a little dissatisfied with being left behind, he didn't go so far as to flee with the money.
Not to mention that there was a guy with a weapon watching him eagerly.
And just as the gunman said, without Simon, even if he got the gold, he would not be able to leave London.
"Be careful, I always feel something is wrong."
Unlike the driver who was careless, the gunman was not that slow.
When the car got stuck by a rock and the lights in the tunnel went out, he always felt that everything seemed man-made.
"It seems Simon has left." Suddenly, Zhang Pin's voice sounded in their ears.
"Who?" The driver was startled by Zhang Pin's words, and the other gunman directly raised his weapon.
"If I were you, what I should do right now is to put down my weapons and raise my hands."
However, before the opponent pointed the gun at him, Zhang Pin's pistol was already pointed at the opponent's temple.
At the same time, he also took the initiative to speak and reminded the other party to surrender.
However, I don’t know whether his movements were too gentle or whether the opponent was really not afraid of death. He could already feel the cold muzzle on his temple, and the gunman continued to adjust his muzzle.
Bang--
Seeing this, Sir Zhang did not hesitate and directly pulled the trigger.
puff--
Blood instantly splashed on the face of the driver who turned around to look over.
Zhang Pin: "I think you are a smart person, right?"
Zhang Pin killed the gunman with one shot and then looked at the driver who seemed to be frightened.
"Yes, yes, I am a smart man, I surrender!"
It's hard to tell whether the driver is smart or not, but he is quite aware of current affairs.
When he heard Zhang Pin say this, he immediately raised his hands in a wise gesture of surrender.
"Very good, I like smart people."
Zhang Pin nodded, then looked at the other person, and then waved the muzzle of his gun toward the outside of the car.
The driver reacted quickly, opened the door and jumped out.
Zhang Pin was standing on the other side. He waited deliberately before walking over.
Contrary to his expectation, the driver actually stood still and did not lower his raised hands.
"Hey, don't you try to escape? Or maybe you can sneak attack me."
Seeing this, Zhang Pin asked curiously.
"No, I have always been very trustworthy. If I say I surrender, I will really surrender."
The driver smiled flatteringly at Zhang Pin, but he was muttering in his heart. It was not his first day out, and he certainly knew that he was ambushed.
Since someone is ambushing here, how dare he act recklessly? After all, Zhang Pin just shot and killed his accomplice without hesitation. He is not tired of living yet, so naturally he does not want to die so soon.
"Great, what's your name?"
Zhang Pin smiled again, and then directly asked about the other party's information.
"My name is Parr. As you can see, I am a driver. By the way, we have one hundred kilograms of gold in our car."
The driver did not hesitate to betray the original boss, Simon, and used the gold they snatched as a bargaining chip, hoping to get Zhang Pin to let him go.
"One hundred kilograms, how many cars do you have in total?"
When Zhang Pin heard about such a small amount of gold, he was completely unfazed.
One hundred kilograms of gold sounds like a lot, but given Sir Zhang's current status, one hundred kilograms of gold can only be exchanged for three to four million US dollars at most.
This amount of money is of course a huge amount of money to others, but Sir Zhang didn't take it seriously.
Instead, he asked a question that concerned him more.
"How many cars? If I remember correctly, there were four cars in total."
Driver Parr heard Zhang Pin's question and answered it quickly.
"Four cars, each car contains the same amount of gold?"
When Zhang Pin heard this number, he immediately frowned.
Because this was seriously inconsistent with the amount he expected. After all, the Federal Reserve claimed at the time that it had lost a ton of gold.
Now if each car only contains 100 kilograms, the gap will be a bit big.
"No, no, not every car is the same."
The driver shook his head at this time.
Zhang Pin was relieved when he heard that. It seemed that although the Fed was a little greedy, it was not too outrageous.
"Our car is loaded with more, while the other two cars are only loaded with 50 kilograms each."
Zhang Pin: "."
He found that he still underestimated this group of financial guys. These guys were too dirty-minded and had no bottom line at all.
I just lost 300 kilograms of stuff, so I dare to call it a ton.
Simon and others worked hard and risked their lives to do such a big thing, but they only got 30%. These guys sit in the office, get high salaries and benefits, and earn 70% just by opening and closing their mouths.
"Such a small amount of money? Is it worth your efforts?"
At this time, Zhang Pin even felt a little sympathetic to Simon and others.
They risked their lives and were hunted from North America to Europe, but in the end they only received tens of millions of dollars.
"It's quite a lot. Each of us can share close to one million US dollars. If we work part-time, we won't be able to earn this much money in a lifetime."
The driver is quite satisfied with his income.
"Well, then I probably understand. Have they left first? Do you know where your destination is?"
Zhang Pin did not argue with the other party whether one million US dollars was enough to sacrifice his life, but asked about the things he was more concerned about.
"I don't know. Simon only asked me to watch from behind to see if anyone was following us, and then agreed to wait for us to meet at the dam. He would never tell us our next move in advance."
After the driver finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Pin anxiously, as if he was worried that he wouldn't believe it.
"Dam? Does this subway lead to the dam?"
After hearing what the driver said, Zhang Pin did not immediately judge the authenticity, but quickly grasped the key points.
"Ah, that should be it. I remember when I passed by there, I saw a place full of water. The wall there was specially reinforced to be waterproof."
The driver told him all the information he knew at once.
"You are going to leave from the other side of the dam. Where does this dam lead to?"
Zhang Pin immediately paid attention to it.
He found that he had overlooked something.
London is not close to the sea, but there is a Thames River.
Just before he came in, he saw that the subway under construction would eventually lead to a pier.
At that time, Zhang Pin didn't care. Because of the gold case and the fact that there were a lot of things going on in London during this period, all the docks were equipped with forces to set up defenses. Generally speaking, it was impossible for anyone to leave from the docks.
But after hearing the driver talking about the dam, Sir Zhang realized that these guys didn't necessarily need to leave from the dock.
The Thames River flows into the sea, and London is only 70 to 80 kilometers away from the nearest seaside.
Simon and others chose to use this place to hide, apparently finding an underground river or tributary that could avoid inspection.
"I don't know either. The dam has been sealed and reinforced. I haven't been out there, so I don't know where it leads, and I probably can't leave from there."
The driver shook his head, showing that he knew nothing about the dam.
"It's sealed. How far is the dam from here? How do you contact us?"
After Zhang Pin heard the news that the dam was originally sealed, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but he became even more determined.
"It's not far from here. It takes about half an hour's drive. We were contacted through the walkie-talkie, and then the horn sounded every minute. Now now."
The driver's face became panicked.
Zhang Pin heard the other party's explanation, turned around and took a look at the car, and found that the walkie-talkie was still flashing red, obviously a call was in progress.
Only then did he look at the driver thoughtfully, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the driver was pretending or real.
