"Damn it -" Zhang Ke punched the button, causing his fist to turn red. However, the button was made of unknown material, and it was not damaged or dented at all.
Is the person responsible for answering the call not next to the communicator? Are you kidding? It's absolutely impossible. I'm afraid that the person on the other end of the monitor had already seen the fact that I just touched the door handle and was hit by high-voltage electricity, right?
They were deliberately pretending to be dead and deliberately not answering their questions - Zhang Ke was extremely sure of this. From the moment he knew that the door was electrified and he was prohibited from leaving, he vaguely realized that in the eyes of the nursing home staff, he was
He is no longer a living person with the right to move freely, but a little white mouse in captivity.
But - does Xu Xiaoli know all this? Did she knowingly bring herself in and trick herself into staying, or was she actually a victim of deception and didn't know that this so-called nursing home was a place where patients were forcibly deprived of their health?
A prison for out-of-power?
These cannot be determined now, and there is no significance that must be determined immediately. Since she said she would come to see him in the evening, let's see how she reacts then.
The first problem now is to consider how to get out of here, at least to capture a living person and ask what is going on.
Zhang Ke looked around the room, and finally his eyes fell on the sheet under him - this sheet was thick and strong, and if rolled up several layers, it should be able to serve as a good insulator.
Although there are no sharp objects such as scissors in the room, it is impossible to finish the sheets, but if it is just to wrap around your hand and open the door, it should be possible.
Just do it. Zhang Ke took out the sheet and used the thickest corner of it to wrap the palms and fingers with three layers inside and three outside. Then he walked to the door and carefully held the handle——
Zhila!!!
A burst of electric sparks flashed, and Zhang Ke suddenly felt that his whole body was struck by lightning again. He flew out uncontrollably, and there was a burning smell on the bed sheets, and they spontaneously ignited!
Feeling the scorching heat wrapped around his hands, Zhang Ke quickly took off the sheets and threw them aside. Only then did he see a few reflective metal threads in the ashes in a corner of the burning sheets.
They have thought of this for a long time! They know that patients who are trying to escape from prison will wrap their hands in sheets and use them as an insulating layer to try to unscrew the handle. Therefore, metal wires are embedded in the sheets when weaving them, which greatly increases the conductivity.
, making it unable to function as an insulator.
By analogy, not only the bedsheets, pillowcases, quilts, blankets and even the nursing home clothes worn on the body were also covered with metal threads, but the clothes and pants he was originally wearing had been thrown away long ago.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ke suddenly felt a chill in his back - the people in this sanatorium were trying every possible means and every detail to prevent the patients from escaping.
The worst thing is that I don’t even have my mobile phone with me, and I can no longer communicate with the outside world. I can’t even ask Xu Xiaoli for help or question me. Blocking off channels for going out and cutting off contact methods are undoubtedly preparing to put myself at risk.
Keep them until they are satisfied.
So, what about the windows? Zhang Ke suddenly noticed that the window on the sunny side behind him actually left a not too narrow gap. Although people definitely couldn't get out, they should be able to stretch out their hands.
Zhang Ke approached the bed and tried to lift it up - to his surprise, the entire window was lifted up! The distance was enough for a person to crawl out.
Zhang Ke originally thought that the position of the window must have been fixed and could not be lifted up with any amount of effort, but such smooth development was beyond his expectation.
The window is filled with all kinds of flowers and green plants. The sun is shining brightly, showing the appearance of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see a gate between the shades of the trees. It should be the sanatorium facing the outside.
Open iron gate.
Very good - if you sneak out now, you might be able to find a chance to escape from here. The worst is to hide in a corner of the sanatorium and wait until midnight before climbing over the wall to get out.
Zhang Ke suddenly thought that his actions in the house were probably being monitored, and that his actions of opening the window were more likely to be on high alert. Maybe someone would be sent to subdue him soon, so he stopped thinking and immediately made no move.
Hesitantly climbed over the window sill and jumped out.
His feet landed on the soft ground. The flowers in the flower bed were still so delicate. Zhang Ke had no intention of admiring them. He just ran towards the shade of the trees, but... he always felt that there was something strange and indescribable?
He didn't have time to think about it, but he knew that security guards would probably rush out in a moment. He should run as far as he could now, so he took three steps at a time, then two steps at a time, and sprinted forward quickly until——
Bang!
Zhang Ke suddenly felt that he had hit an invisible wall, and the strong recoil knocked him to the ground. Blood spurted out of his nose. Stars appeared in his eyes, he was dizzy, and it was difficult to even stand for a while.
What's going on? Where did the wall come from?
Zhang Ke reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the shade of trees in front of him. They were only one step away from him, but...
He suddenly realized that these leaves looked too unrealistic. They were flat without any three-dimensional shadows or details, just like... a painting on the wall - even though it was still swaying in the wind.
.
He reached out his hand in disbelief and touched a leaf, but once again he touched the cold wall that knocked him over.
And that leaf, which was pressed under one of my fingers, seemed not to be affected at all. It still swayed regularly with the wind. It was just because I pressed it too hard that it turned a strange yellow color.
The green light and patterns such as leaf veins are also covered.
"Is this...a projection screen? No, it's an electronic imaging screen!"
Only then did Zhang Ke realize that he was actually surrounded by walls of screens playing realistic images. The shadows of the trees and the faint iron gate in the distance were all pre-recorded videos that were automatically played through the electronic walls.
Because their resolution is extremely high, no flaws can be seen at a distance. Only people like myself, at a distance that is almost within reach, can discover that these are false images.
In this so-called "outside the window", only the few flower beds near the window sill and the flowers inside are real. The rest of the scenery with high sky and clear sky, birds singing and fragrance of flowers are all faked through extremely realistic videos. Even the sky and sun above our heads are fake.
I'm afraid it's also a specially processed image, perhaps with the help of a bright light.
It turns out that this only window connected to the outside world did not exist from the beginning. It was just a well-camouflaged garden, and it was still tightly sealed within airtight walls.
It's no wonder that no one is chasing me now that I'm running, and there's not even a sound of alarm. After all, I'm still jumping around the room.
In an instant, a sense of despair and depression closed Zhang Ke's heart, and he almost wanted to give up and escape.
