I pressed the ink box on the lectern, and soon the blackboard opened again. Li Fan gave a thumbs-up, "How did you discover that the ink box was faulty?"
"An ordinary ink box would definitely have some movement, but there was dust all around here, with a gap in the middle, which should have been covered by fingerprints... so they rarely used this secret passage."
As I explained, I led everyone to charge forward. It was probably the first time in all of China that a leader like me was so brave. Everyone was afraid that something would happen to me, and they provided cover nearby. When we were chasing the teacher, we had traveled through the passage for an unknown amount of time. Many police officers almost fell into traps but were pulled by me. I sprayed some cassia seed and chili oil on the ground and found a strange blue-green reaction on the soil. Li Fan asked me what was going on. There were spikes beneath the soil, and my chili oil reacted with sharp metal!"
"Good! Everyone avoid the blue-green area and walk along the edge!" Li Fan commanded. The crowd moved along the wall like Spider-Man, very fast. With our grappling hooks, we simply ignored some insurmountable obstacles. I thought this kind of grappling hook would become standard equipment for our Chinese police.
Along the way, Gao Mingqiang said with interest, "Give me a few bottles of this chili oil too! I'll take it home to kill cockroaches!"
"Don't be ridiculous. Do you know what I encountered when grinding the chilies?"
"What?"
"It made my eyes sting..."
With a loud bang, Zhao Xiong and the armed police had broken through a iron door, finding a secret room behind another secret room.
It looked like there were countless secret rooms layered one after another, and I didn't know when it would end. We broke through one iron door after another, only to find a deep passage ahead. This place was simply a vast and complex maze.
Seeing more and more passages appearing, I grabbed Zhao Xiong, who was still charging forward like a bull, "This won't do. Let's split into ten groups and pursue in each direction!"
"But won't this disperse our forces?"
"It's okay, he probably doesn't have many people left. The problem now is time. We need to have a decisive battle with the criminals."
"Decisive battle??" Zhao Xiong didn't understand. Zhang Keying quickly explained, "It means whoever is faster wins!"
Everyone immediately dispersed and divided into ten small teams according to my command, with about 20 people per team. Zhang Keying and He Xin were by my side at the time!
No matter what, we had to find Liu Yuning and Ma Biao!
As we ran, I noticed many footprints on the ground, about 8 to 10 in number. As we entered a strange corridor, we found countless headless corpses hanging there. They were wearing the clothing of people from various professions in Guangming City. It seemed these people were all ordinary citizens of Guangming City who were captured, tortured, and then beheaded and hung up!!
Seeing the scene where countless hammers, wrenches, and some weapons that looked like long swords and armor were all hung on iron ropes reminded me of the ancient Egyptian cities that worshipped the Pharaohs...
I thought this place must hide another madman.
Just as we rushed into a閣樓, more headless corpses were hanging not far from us. I stepped on something, and suddenly heard countless squeaking sounds coming from all directions!
"What?"
I shouted, and heard someone laughing from upstairs, "I didn't expect you to actually find this place! Hahaha, have you seen the rats? The teacher's masterpiece, how could it perish just like that? My darlings, teach these ignorant police a lesson!"
"Bastard! This guy is with the scientist!" He Xin said. We already saw thousands of rats breaking through the walls of the閣樓 and approaching us. At that time, we had no lighting tools, not even a flashlight. It was a real oversight!
A police officer took out his flashlight, but found that it couldn't be turned on. The person upstairs mocked, "Hahaha, this place has been modified by me. Any electrical equipment will become useless here!"
"Ah!" Even the usually calm Zhang Keying screamed. A voice came from upstairs again, "You actually arrested my teacher, ahhhh!! Damn ignorant remnants, become dinner for my rat babies! But I still have a lesson to teach. Goodbye, those students are still waiting for me!"
Saying that, we heard the sound of an elevator. That guy must have left, but we still didn't know who he was. It was too dark at the time, and we only felt shadows flashing upstairs. Based on the sound, I suspected it sounded a bit like Cao Yushu, the scientist, but how could that be? The scientist had already been arrested by us!
Perhaps it was just a voice changer. As we watched the mountains of rats approaching relentlessly, we thought we were going to perish here. However, He Xin suddenly lowered her head, as if she had become a different person, "Do you think we will really die at the hands of these beasts?"
"He Xin..." There was less than a minute left, and everyone looked at her. To our surprise, she raised a bottle of serum and smashed it on the ground desperately. With a loud bang, I suddenly remembered something. We had all been injected with the serum before. Theoretically, we shouldn't be afraid of these rats anymore, but these rats are still... could they have mutated again?
But as soon as He Xin smashed the bottle, the rats scattered like startled birds, and some of the slower ones were trampled by their own kind! I had seen people trample on people before, but this was the first time with rats. These guys were all scared and in chaos, trampling on each other!
"This is the serum I made with Liu Siya's blood, which Xie Chuchu gave to me. I didn't expect it to be used at this time..."
Actually, Xie Chuchu was there too. Except for Ma Biao and Liu Yuning, the entire Punishment Squad had been mobilized. She quickly replied, "I have another bottle here. Dr. Zhang gave it to me!"
"I see. Let's go, we must catch that bastard!" I said. Everyone found the elevator lever, and after descending, we rose upwards together. But the height was astonishing. We were in the elevator for about 5 minutes before reaching the top. We had gone from the ground to some mountain peak. After we came up, we found a huge platform on the mountain top. A man who looked very much like Cao Yushu was giving a lesson to dozens of people...
