I quickly looked at the layout of the room. It was all walls and nothing else. There was no way I could break through the wall and get out. After looking carefully for a long time, my eyes lit up.
In a corner of the ceiling, I saw a vent. Since no one might have been here for a long time, it was relatively dirty. It was blocked by dust just now, so it was difficult to find it without looking carefully at the sea. I don’t know what this house is used for.
Something like that, a vent was left, thank God, there was finally a glimmer of hope.
"Anyone who doesn't want to die here, please listen to me." I shouted, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Is there any way you can get us out?"
"Yes, as long as you have a way, we will listen to you..." Some questioning voices came from the crowd, but it can be seen that most people are now looking at me with hope.
"Look, there is a vent there. We may be able to get out from there, but now we need to build a human ladder together. Let me go up and open it first..." There was also a little excitement in my tone, which was considered a success.
A glimmer of hope.
The vents are sealed by iron bars as thick as a finger. I just checked visually and the distance between the ceiling and the ground is about three meters, so I have to find a way to go up and open the vents. There are only people here now, and it is impossible to find a ladder.
, the only way is to have people form a human ladder, and then step up and open it.
"What the hell are you doing standing there? Don't you want to get out alive?" Scar saw a group of women looking at me blankly, cursed a few words impatiently, and stood under the vent first.
"Everyone, if we don't unite now, no one will be able to get out..." Alice also said this and walked up to Scar, stretched out her hand and put it on Scar's.
"Your idea is very good, and it is the only way at present..." The calm man smiled lightly and walked over. It takes many people to support a person to stand firm and strong, so just the three of them are
Not enough.
At this time, the middle-aged man was the first to speak, and without hesitation, "Young man, we have given our hope to you, and I am here to help." After that, he came over.
Seeing that this method seemed feasible, other people finally came over one after another. They all used their hands to form a fulcrum for people to step on. I slowly stood up. The crowd swayed a bit, but luckily I didn't fall down.
, and quickly recovered.
"Haha... Fortunately, you are not a fat man. If you were like me, you would not be able to stand still." The middle-aged man said jokingly. I glanced at him. He was not a big fat man, but he seemed to have put on weight in middle age.
Somewhat bloated.
In order to relieve everyone's tension and depressive atmosphere, I chatted with him for a few words. He is obviously a good talker, plus he is slightly chubby and has a kind-looking face. I don't know how much he deceived me.
After some understanding, I found out that he was from an American family that engaged in private jet travel.
You can take a private tourist plane in their company and go on some sightseeing tours. What’s funny is that this guy, who has some occupational problems, also gave me a business card. I glanced at it casually: Aimiya Travel Company,
The words Frank were on the top, and the address and phone number were below. After looking at it, I stuffed the business card into my bag.
My eyes were focused on this vent. It was about the width of a person, with a few relatively thick steel bars and some rust. I didn’t know what was behind it, but I could clearly feel the flow of air when I put my hand on it.
, obviously the back is open.
I shook it hard for a few times, but there was no reaction at all. It seems that even if it is rusty, it is still iron and cannot be easily shaken. It seems that the only way to break it open is to use the most direct method. Fortunately, I found an axe.
I hope I can break this place open.
"Everyone, hold on tight, I'm going to smash this place open with all my strength..." I said to the people below, who immediately stood firm and clasped their hands together to hold me firmly.
"Bang"
I rounded the ax in my hand and hit the area around the iron bars with the back side. This small iron window was not locked, but was directly embedded in the surrounding ceiling, so I had to smash it open forcefully.
Fortunately, due to the passage of time and the fact that the ceiling around the window was not very strong originally, it was probably done intentionally to make it easier to remove. When I went up, a lot of dust and dirt fell down, even though it was done.
My whole face was full of excitement, but my heart was very excited. This showed that our chances were great, and it was not difficult to open the vent.
Striking while the iron was hot, I quickly hit the ax in my hand with all my strength. After a few hits, the surrounding area gradually loosened. The edge of the iron window had already leaked out. I grabbed the edge of the iron window and pulled hard, and there was a loud bang.
I pulled down all the broken pieces along with this small window.
"Opened? We are saved..." The people below cheered.
I stood up on tiptoes and put my head in, and took out the lighter from my pocket. I opened it and looked at it under the light. This was a pipeline transportation channel. A thick red iron pipe was in the channel. I touched it with my hand and felt it.
It feels cold, and I don't know what's inside.
Apart from the pipes, there was still enough room for a person to move forward while lying on his stomach. He carefully stepped back and didn't act rashly until he was clear about it.
"Xiao, what's going on inside? Can you climb out from above?" Alice asked.
"There is a pipe, but I don't know whether it is for transportation or something. The remaining space is enough for people to lie down and move forward..." My news is undoubtedly the sound of nature to people today.
"Great, we can finally go out..."
"Mr. Xiao, you are our great benefactor..."
There was a sound of gratitude from the crowd, but I didn't show much excitement. Now I'm faced with another problem, how do people here get up? The ground is so high from here, it's impossible to jump up. Even if you use a ladder, you still end up with nothing.
Someone needs to be there to support us, so we can’t all go out, so someone needs to stay.
"If I remember correctly, the upper part is a channel for water pipeline transportation. Such vents are deliberately set aside for inspection of pipelines. There will be one at regular intervals," the calm man said, recalling as he spoke.
Looking like something.
"How do you know?" I was a little surprised that he remembered it correctly, as if he was very familiar with this place. Not only me, but many people below had the same doubtful eyes.
He smiled faintly, looked at me with his neat white teeth, and said, "I have a wide range of hobbies, and boats are one of my hobbies. I happened to have seen the structural drawings of this boat, although it has been several years ago.
, but I still remember it relatively clearly..."
My heart was shaken. Who is this person? This ship is obviously a luxury cruise ship. The structural drawings of a ship are not accessible to everyone, let alone a ship like this.
But he didn't seem to introduce himself at all. He never talked about his identity or other issues. It seemed that he was avoiding it on purpose. However, I don't have the extra time to think about his identity now. His words made me think.
Got an idea.
I turned over and crawled into the passage. I took an ax and hit the pipe hard several times. "Bang bang bang bang." Finally, a big hole was exposed in the pipe after I hit it hard.
"Wow"
Water! It was really water inside. A turbulent stream of water spurted out under the pressure. I quickly stepped aside, wiped the water on my face, took off my clothes with my backhand, and took out the clothes from my pocket.
There were some crumpled cigarettes. I lit one and took two puffs. I threw away the cigarette butts, crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and threw it aside.
After a few tearings, my suit was torn into several pieces. They were all soaked in water and twisted into a rope. I pulled one end with each hand and tried it hard. It was good, as expected, it was relatively strong.
"What's going on? You broke the water pipe, and there's water all down there..." The crowd below made uneasy sounds. Only then did I notice that a lot of water had flowed from the ground below. This house is very well sealed.
, the water does not flow out much, and the water flowing out from the water pipe above has now flowed all over the ground.
"Xiao, what do you want to do? You won't be able to hold on for long before you're overwhelmed..." Alice's voice was a little worried.
"Everyone take off their clothes, soak them in water and twist them into ropes like me..." I said while holding the clothes in my hand and motioning to the people below. My idea is very simple, everyone's clothes
Twist it into a rope and then pull everyone up.
The people below were a little hesitant, most of them were women. When I told them to take off their clothes, they didn't seem to know what to do and looked at me strangely.
Scar didn't hesitate at all. He took off his clothes and followed my instructions without hesitation. He didn't question my words at all. He never asked me why I asked him to do something.
"You have so many thoughts when you are about to die. Who do you think wants to look at you..." Alice is a smart woman. She understood my idea after just a moment's thought. She scolded those procrastinating women with some disdain.
He pulled off a large piece of his skirt and started doing the same.
Because she was wearing too little on her upper body, there was no place to tear it off, so she had to tear off a piece of her skirt, which immediately exposed her sexy white thighs. I glanced at her hastily, and I was not in the mood to think about those random things at this time.
If there is a leader, there will be a second and third one. The women hesitated for a moment and began to tear off their clothes or skirts one after another and started to take action. The situation became increasingly pessimistic. It might be the water pipes.
The water flow in it is too big, maybe the hole I broke is too big, and the water keeps flowing.
In just a short time, the water below had reached the knees. If I didn't hurry up, I couldn't escape. I was a little anxious, and a sweat appeared on my forehead. At this time, the so-called leak in the house happened to rain all night.
, the light on the ceiling flashed a few times and went out with a "pop" sound.
"Ah...what's going on?" A cry of exclamation came from the group below. Humans are animals that are afraid of darkness, not to mention that at such a time and place, darkness is undoubtedly a fatal fear.
"Everyone, calm down and keep going. The water is spreading faster and faster. Everyone, hurry up and make ropes..." I shouted loudly a few times. I touched it and it was okay. The lighter was still "clicking" and turned on the lighter.
, using some weak firelight to try to calm the emotions of the crowd below.
