case-in-case

A moderate voice came: "This prop is made so big, rich people really know how to play with it!"

A somewhat hoarse voice said: "This is a prop room. The door was locked just now. There should be no one there. Let's go and check the next floor!"

Then there were footsteps and a door closing.

The five little friends finally breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone waited for a while, until there was no sound outside, Lang Fei asked softly, "Did you leave?"

In the darkness, Lan Keith's small voice came: "It seems to be!"

Ouyang Le's voice was also low: "Would you like to wait a little longer?"

Everyone didn't speak, and waited for a while, but there was no movement outside. Ouyang Le fumbled out his mobile phone and turned on the screen to take a picture. Seeing that everyone was holding their breath nervously, because the mobile phone suddenly lit up, Lang Fei even covered it with his hand. Closing his eyes, Ouyang Le let his eyes get used to the light of the phone before squatting down to find the secret door, gently opened a small gap, and tried not to make a sound. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he really couldn't hear the outside Only when there was a sound, he opened the secret door, and waited for a while to see that there was really no one outside before he crawled out of the secret door lightly.

The friends also followed him out of the secret door one by one.

Ouyang Le, who went out first, took his mobile phone and tried to find a signal, but there was no signal at all. He ran to the skylight to try again, but there was still no signal.

So he ran back and said in a low voice, "No signal!"

Other friends also took out their mobile phones to watch, but everyone's mobile phones have no signal!

Ren frowned and said, "Either the signal here is bad, or it's blocked!" Then he quietly walked to the door and lay down on the door to listen to the sound outside.

Jiang Jingtong, Lang Fei, Ouyang Le, and Lan Kaisi looked at each other, gave up and competed with the unsatisfactory mobile phones, and all moved over.

Ren turned around and shook his head at the four to indicate that they couldn't hear anything.

The four of them also went over and heard that there was indeed no sound outside.

Ouyang Le said in a low voice: "This is the props room, there is only one small ventilation window and no corridor windows, we don't know what's going on outside, do you want to go out and have a look?"

Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "The gangsters just left, and they will go to the ninth floor to search as they said!"

Ouyang Le looked at Jiang Jingtong: "The 9th floor is the audio-visual room and auditorium, no students will go up there!"

"Then they will go downstairs soon!" Ryan interfaced, taking out his mobile phone to check the time and said: "It has been 20 minutes since we found someone downstairs with a gun to seal the building, and the students outside found the situation here They will definitely call the police, judging from the situation they searched for their classmates just now, they don’t know if it’s a kidnapping or a terrorist activity. We can’t be sure what the gangsters want to do. In the current situation, we must either wait for rescue or find a way to escape!”

Jiang Jingtong looked at Ren: "Waiting for rescue is a passive choice, and we are taking the initiative to escape. Facing such a situation, self-rescue is more active than his rescue!"

Lan Kesi disagreed a bit: "That is to take the initiative to escape? But where do we escape? Is it safe outside? Are the gangsters attacking this building or the whole school? We can't be sure about the situation outside. action……"

"Shh-"

Ouyang Le and Lang Fei interrupted Lan Kesi at the same time, signaling him to be quiet, as if there was a voice from the skylight.

So Ren signaled Ouyang Le to guard the door, and he and a few other friends ran to the skylight to listen to the sound outside.

After listening for a while, everyone confirmed that the loudspeaker outside should be yelling the same sentence repeatedly: Listen, people inside, you are surrounded, what conditions can you ask, don't hurt the teacher and classmates...

Ren thought about it, moved a chair and stood on the chair to look out through the skylight. Outside, there were several police cars around the student union activity center building.

The other friends moved two chairs and took turns to stand on it and look out--the blue and red flashing police lights seemed to be hope at this moment!

Ren checked the size of the skylight before coming down. After confirming that the skylight really couldn't accommodate a person, he motioned for everyone to come down as well.

When everyone came down, Ren said: "It should be safe outside. It seems that the gangsters just took control of this building and kidnapped the teachers and classmates in the building!"

Lan Kesi said: "Then we can find a way to escape!"

Lang Fei said, "Can we get in touch with the police outside?"

Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "If I were a kidnapper, I would definitely occupy the commanding heights and monitor each floor. If there is any abnormal movement on any floor, it is tantamount to throwing myself into a trap."

Ren glanced at Jiang Jingtong appreciatively and said: "Lan Kesi, go to the door to check the wind and bring Ouyang Le back. Let's discuss how to act. If there is a sound outside, immediately warn the police and let's go back to the Trojan horse!"

The friends glanced at each other. At this time, it is the most avoidable panic. It is best for someone to come out as the leader to make up his mind, and there is no problem with Ren's arrangement, so everyone didn't say anything.

Lan Kesi frowned, but quickly understood that Ouyang Le, Lang Fei, and Jiang Jingtong were good friends, and Ren and Ouyang Le were roommates. There must be a tacit understanding between them, so he went to the door to guard the room without saying anything. with.

Ren signaled everyone to come over and said, "The situation is unclear now. Let me analyze the current situation for your reference, and then we will make a plan of action."

The three little friends looked at each other and nodded, and Lan Kesi at the door listened while being alert.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Ryan began to analyze:

"First, we are now on the 8th floor. We are not sure which floor the kidnapper is on, but they must have searched the whole building. When Lan Kesi and I ran to this floor, they had already sent someone to guard the exit on the first floor. So we are stuck in this building.

"Second, unless the kidnappers don't want to live, there may not be a way out. According to common sense, there are two ways to get out of this building. One is to walk from the top of the building, which requires a helicopter, but there are teaching staff on the opposite side. Building and library, where the police can arrange snipers, but the police will not shoot casually because they are afraid of casualties caused by a helicopter crash. The number of loads is limited. Although we can't be sure how many kidnappers there are, but when we ran here, we found that there were at least a dozen of them. The helicopter can't hold that many people, and I guess the kidnappers can arrange helicopters. It is unlikely, so the most likely way for the kidnappers to escape is to go from the first floor, so they will definitely gather the hostages on the ground floor or lower floors for the convenience of escape. We will not encounter more kidnappers here for the time being!

"Third, we have only heard a few gunshots so far. The kidnappers did shoot the security guards and the fleeing classmates, but there are at least 200 teachers and classmates in this building. When searching, they said 'if there are students, arrest them' instead of saying that if there are students, they will shoot, which proves that they want to arrest people instead of killing people! Then their purpose now should be to control the situation in this building , took teachers and classmates as hostages, put forward conditions, and mediated with the police!

"Fourth, we are now on the 8th floor, and the kidnappers must be on the lower floors. Like Jiang Jingtong said, if we were the kidnappers, we would definitely occupy the commanding heights in order to avoid the police entering from the top or other floors, and set up security personnel on the top of the building, so There must be kidnappers on the top floor.

"Fifth, in this situation, we can wait quietly for rescue, but we don't know if the kidnappers will come to search again. It is also unknown whether the Trojan horse's hiding place is safe or not; if we want to go out, it is definitely not possible to go through the door, the most feasible The best way is to make a rope and find a window to climb down along the rope, but the skylight in the prop room is too small for our bodies to pass through! So we need to find another window that can pass through, although any window in any classroom is fine. It allows us to pass, but it is inferred that the kidnappers on the top floor will definitely monitor the building, so we need to solve the kidnappers on the top floor to have a chance to escape.

In addition, this building has 9 floors. We are now on the 8th floor. The height of the classrooms on each floor is about 4 meters. To fasten the fixed part, the rope must be at least 36 meters.We can find ropes from this prop room, or make them ourselves. If there is no suitable material, we can take the risk of collecting curtains from other classrooms, but we must ensure that the kidnappers will not find anything unusual before making ropes and climbing down. That is, when we flee, the police and snipers outside will not shoot us as kidnappers!

"These are all I can think of now, do you have anything to add?" Ren said and looked around everyone.

Ren didn't speak quickly, but his thinking was very clear. After analyzing it in one breath, the friends felt that his analysis made sense, and they thought about it separately.

Lang Fei raised his hand, expressing that he wanted to ask questions--unknowingly, the mode of group cooperative learning came out!It was as if they were not discussing a matter of life or death, but as usual, a study group discussing issues.

Ryan looked at him.

Lang Fei said: "The risk of making a rope to climb out is too great. The kidnappers have already shot and kidnapped hostages. The police will definitely come to rescue such a big incident. Will we be safer hiding in the wooden horse?"

Before Renn could answer, Jiang Jingtong had already shook his head: "Not necessarily, first of all, we don't know when the police rescue will enter the building, and the Trojan horse is so conspicuous. Everyone knows the story of the Trojan horse massacre. If the kidnappers come for a second search, Or pay a little attention to check the Trojan horse, and we will be exposed; at best, they can keep us as hostages, at worst, it is possible that they want to kill us. After all, you said that the kidnappers have already shot Since we saw blood, the possibility of a peaceful resolution of this matter is very low. Once the police and the kidnappers open fire, we stay in the wooden horse and don’t know what’s going on outside. If we’re lucky, we won’t be affected. It’s hard to say! In addition, the kidnappers have captured so many teachers and classmates, they are all hostages in their hands, and they have bargaining chips. In such a situation, the police must make a more detailed rescue plan if they want to ensure the safety of the hostages. Then the time for confronting or delaying with the kidnappers will not be short, but for us, the longer the time, the more unfavorable we are. Can we people not eat, drink or go to the toilet? Once we have these activities, it is difficult to completely Cover up your whereabouts, and you will be caught sooner or later!"

What Jiang Jingtong said is the real situation, you can bear it without eating or drinking, but you can't bear the physiological needs such as going to the toilet.

The friends fell into deep thought, no matter how they thought about it, they felt that it was a dilemma.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be undecided, Ren took out his mobile phone to check the time and said, "At 3:23, it will definitely take time for the police to negotiate with the kidnappers. We are not sure how long this time will be. Now we are making two-handed preparations, first find Some handy weapons for self-defense." As he spoke, he weighed the gorgeous prop dagger made of unknown material in his hand, and this kind of completely harmless thing that Ouyang Le casually stuffed was really insecure: " If we encounter a kidnapper, it is better to have a weapon than bare hands, and then prepare a rope, if it can be dragged until dark, it will be beneficial to our actions!"

Everyone felt that Ren's arrangement was very reasonable, so they dispersed one after another, and went to the wall where various weapons and props were hung to find weapons that were handy and lethal. The stage effect, how can it make you lethal--you can YY yourself, A and B fight on the stage, you stab me, I stab you, the props are real, and the performers don’t bleed Chenghe, so many of these gleaming "weapons" are made of hard plastic, and the metal ones are limited, and the limited few metal weapons are all unsharp.

Everyone picked and picked, but in the end they could only make do with it:

Ryan chose a dagger commonly used by soldiers in the Middle Ages. Although it was not sharpened, it was made of metal. It was not sharp enough for its weight, and it could be used as a stick if it was not qualified. Ren seemed uneasy and took a few imitations. The scalpel went into his arms.

Jiang Jingtong chose two women's daggers - slender and delicate, it is definitely not good for cutting people, but it should be a sharp weapon for stabbing people!

On the other hand, Ouyang Le lost the dagger that was used to refill the number just now, and found another one with a thinner and longer blade. Its effect is similar to that of Jiang Jingtong's lady's dagger. Both En and Jiang Jingtong took more than one weapon, and found another similar one to stick in the back.

It’s just that Lang Fei is more entangled—he is very optimistic about the King Arthur’s sword, which is big, heavy, and powerful enough to cut people, but he can’t kill people one by one—men should use such weapons, those short knives, He really didn't like short swords and daggers, and finally he gritted his teeth and decided to choose this!

Ouyang Le wanted to vomit, brother, we are trying to escape; brother, we need to move quietly; brother, we are not going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, what are you doing with such a long and heavy weapon!

Seeing Ouyang Le looking at Lang Fei struggling to speak, Jiang Jingtong patted him to comfort him: "Maybe we will use long weapons!"

As he said that, he took out a small dagger and stuffed it to Lang Fei for him to pick it up.

Lang Fei thought for a while and felt that there are not too many weapons at this time!

Seeing Lang Fei take over the dagger, Jiang Jingtong picked and picked a short knife and handed it to Lan Kesi who had been observing the situation outside the door. He picked up his spare weapon and took the knife Jiang Jingtong gave him.

At this time, Lan Kesi glanced at Jiang Jingtong, his deep blue eyes carried a trace of strange emotion, but Jiang Jingtong didn't pay attention!

Seeing that Lan Kesi also had a weapon, he pushed down his glasses with his hand, and then walked back.

Over there, the three little friends had already started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the rope, and Jiang Jingtong also joined the ranks of rummaging.

10 minute later.

Everyone looked at the ropes that were completely different in thickness, length, and texture. It was really hard to imagine how to get them together as the most important escape tool for several people!

This is the 8th floor, if Mr. Rope is unreliable, then their lives will be explained!
