Returning to the capsule house again, Lin Cheng held the rice bowl in his hand, first went to the refrigerator and took out two bottles of drinks, then ran up to the second floor, opened the door of the room where Zeng Kai was imprisoned and walked in.
"Ah sneeze——!"
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Cheng heard a violent sneeze coming from inside. He looked up and saw that Zeng Kai was already shivering from the ice rings on his hands and feet. In addition to the injuries on his legs,
This guy's face was now as pale as if he had been smeared with flour, and he seemed to be in danger of burping later.
"Ba——"
Gently snapping his fingers to remove the ice rings from his hands and feet, Lin Cheng walked up to Zeng Kai, placed the rice bowl and drink in his hand in front of him and said: "Here, eat quickly, get ready to work after eating.
"
"Cough cough cough! Can...can you give me a cup of warm...warm water? My wife is too...too damn cold!"
After regaining his freedom, Zeng Kai, who was shivering from the cold, had no intention of eating. He quickly ran up to Lin Cheng and hugged his thigh and begged. He must have beaten him to death without thinking that he was locked in an airtight room.
, the cold I suffered was several times colder than outside!
"so troublesome……"
Lin Cheng was impatient after hearing Zeng Kai's request, but considering that he was indeed indispensable for the subsequent actions, he could only patiently say "wait", and then went downstairs to help him get warm water.
After taking a full cup of warm water from the water dispenser, Lin Cheng returned to the room again. When he looked up, he found that Zeng Kai, who had not been interested in the bowl of food in front of him before, was now holding the rice bowl and keeping eating.
He stuffed it into his mouth violently, looking at his posture like a death row prisoner who had completely thought about it and was eating his meal.
"Your warm water."
Shaking his head in amusement, Lin Cheng didn't say anything, and directly handed him the water glass in his hand. Then he sat back in his seat with his legs crossed, lit a cigarette, and watched the other person eat quietly.
After a while, Zeng Kai, who had finally eaten and drank enough, couldn't help but let out a big burp. Then he handed the rice bowl and chopsticks back to Lin Cheng and said, "Thank you for the dinner, I... I'm full."
Already."
"You're welcome, come on, have a cigarette."
After receiving the bowls and chopsticks from Zeng Kai, Lin Cheng casually placed them on the ground aside. Then he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and threw it away from him. He also lit it for him.
After the initial torture to extract a confession, and now Lin Cheng's harmless smile, this sumptuous dinner and the cigarette in his mouth, Zeng Kai felt that his experience this afternoon was extremely unreal. If it weren't for the thigh
The wound there was still aching, and he thought Lin Cheng was really a living Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.
"I've eaten and smoked cigarettes, and I haven't touched a hair on your head. As long as you have some brains, you should know what to do next, right?"
Seeing Zeng Kai looking at him with a embarrassed look on his face and forgetting to smoke the cigarette in his mouth, Lin Cheng couldn't help but chuckle and asked him.
Hearing this, Zeng Kai just woke up from a dream, nodded quickly and said: "I understand, understand! But... are you sure you want to go to the institute tonight? You should know how tight the wind is outside now, right?
?”
Hearing Zeng Kai's worries, Lin Cheng waved his hand directly, "Whether the wind blows or not, that's my business. All you have to do is show me the way. Do you understand?"
"That's okay!"
Seeing that Lin Cheng seemed to have made up his mind, Zeng Kai stopped asking any more questions and said directly: "Then when will we set off?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng raised his wrist and looked at the time, and then replied: "It is now eight-thirty, wait another three and a half hours, and we will set off on time at twelve o'clock!"
After that, he stood up and left, preparing to go to the living room to watch a movie to kill the rest of the time.
Looking at Lin Cheng's leaving figure, Zeng Kai couldn't help but feel a bit of struggle on his face. Reason told him that the probability of his survival was infinitely low, but for even a tiny bit of hope, he had to persuade himself to suppress those thoughts in his heart.
It’s an unreliable idea. We’ll wait until we get to the research institute!
…
It's twelve o'clock in the morning.
Without alerting anyone, Lin Cheng carried Zeng Kai, who had an injured leg on his back, and appeared on the deserted street without anyone noticing. Except for the falling snow and the howling north wind, the entire Pingcheng seemed to be in a state of chaos.
In deep sleep.
Standing in an inconspicuous corner of Yumen Street, Lin Cheng first pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movements around him. After confirming that there were no patrolling soldiers within a hundred meters, he whispered to Zeng Kai behind him:
"What's next?"
Hearing this, Zeng Kai, who was covering his mouth with his sleeves to prevent the cold wind from filling his mouth, quickly let go of his sleeves and said: "Ahem... go east, exit Yumen Street, turn north, and then walk all the way along Huahu Street to the end.
The road after that will be more complicated, so I can only show you the place in person."
"Fine."
Hearing Zeng Kai's answer, Lin Cheng nodded slightly, and then stopped hesitating. Zeng Kai tightened his tights to prevent him from falling, then turned around and walked towards the alley to the side!
Although it is very early in the morning and there is heavy snowfall, it is difficult to meet people in the streets or alleys at this time, but Lin Cheng still chooses to rush through the relatively safe alleys. Ordinary residents may have their brains wet before they are so cold.
When the sky came out, it was impossible for the military headquarters, which had a lot of military power, to stop the search so easily. No matter how small the probability was, he did not want to take any risk.
Following the narrow paths in the city, Lin Cheng walked quickly under Zeng Kai's guidance, and in a short time he reached the end of Huahu Street, in front of a dilapidated two-story wooden building.
"What's the next step?"
Looking up at the dangerous building in front of him that was crumbling in the violent storm, Lin Cheng frowned slightly and then asked Zeng Kai.
Hearing this, Zeng Kai pointed to a narrow passage on the right side of the wooden building and said: "Go in there, but you have to be careful. From here on, the security in front has begun to increase. If you don't want to be discovered, I suggest you
After entering this passage, lurk first and don't go out, wait until you determine the surrounding situation before taking action!"
"The security has been tightened since here? In other words, we are not far from the research institute?"
Upon hearing Zeng Kai's warning, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked him.
Hearing this, Zeng Kai nodded slightly, and then warned him: "It's indeed not far away, but the security of the institute becomes tighter as we get closer. At least in our current state, it is difficult to get close without being discovered.
Researcher within 100 meters..."
"So strict?"
Hearing Zeng Kai's words, Lin Cheng frowned and looked at the dark passage in front of him, while his mind was quickly thinking about how to proceed. (To be continued)
