It’s a dark, windy, murderous night, and night is always a good time to cause trouble.
Especially tonight, after dinner, the sky was covered with a layer of fog.
Needless to say, a storm is coming.
No matter how you look at it, this is a good time to take action.
But the problem is, by ten o'clock in the evening, Lao Xu still didn't make any move.
It's not that Old Xu doesn't want to move, but that he has to worry about the manor.
First of all, Lao Xu had seen the guard situation in the park at night. Although the guards were not as energetic as during the day, the number was there.
Secondly, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in this manor. If there is any slight disturbance to Lao Xu and others, the surveillance room will immediately notice it.
In the end, Lao Xu and the others were the new strange survivors. Although the head of the family has given the affirmation of "stay". But who knows if this is a deliberate test by the other party?
Looking at the manor's military-like management and scale of development and construction, Old Xu was sure that the "owner" was not a simple woman.
So after much deliberation, Lao Xu still didn't act rashly.
Although action is important, we are currently in someone else's territory, and all the guys in our hands have been captured.
If the other party notices that one has a plot, I believe that even if one gives a reasonable explanation, the other party may not believe it.
Lao Xu didn't want a member of the team's family to be rescued and instead take one of his own members into the rescue.
Moreover, his intuition told Lao Xu that his several temptations had attracted the attention of the "woman".
In addition, Lao Xu also felt that the manor here was a bit weird.
For example, there were blood stains on the woman's trouser legs in the afternoon. The other party said that they were accidentally contaminated by slaughtering live poultry while working underground.
But the other party obviously went down to the basement to look for daily necessities for them, so how could it be stained with blood?
Also, why should living supplies be stored together with live poultry?
The manor is so big and has so many rooms. Xu Renjie understands that the live birds are kept in the basement to prevent them from chirping and attracting zombies.
But it makes sense that daily supplies are also stored underground.
Who would put daily necessities and a bunch of dirty beasts in the same house when they are full?
However, even if he had doubts about these, Lao Xu could not confirm them yet.
Of course, Lao Xu did not communicate these inferences with Hu Xiaodong and Huo Yuankai.
After all, without confirmation, there is no need for the team members to be fearful and on guard. This would be detrimental to our contact with the manor personnel.
"Go to sleep, everyone, go to sleep!" Looking at the time, Lao Xu felt that there was not much hope for action at night.
Rather than continue to suffer, it is better to be casual and take a good rest.
After listening to Lao Xu's instructions, Huo Yuankai and Hu Xiaodong didn't say much. They cleaned up separately, made beds on the floor, and rested separately.
The whole afternoon of "suffering" also made the three of them exhausted, and it didn't take long for them to fall asleep one after another.
In the middle of the night, thunder broke out and rain poured down.
The entire countryside was instantly covered by rain curtains.
Wang Qiang and Derek quickly changed into the raincoats they had brought with them.
The two of them were responsible for the night shift, which was something they had agreed upon before departure.
Thunder Eyes' experience dictates that he has strong endurance, so I basically leave it to him alone during the day.
As for Wang Qiang and Derek, who were on duty at night, taking care of each other, and with cans around them, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
After changing into his raincoat, Wang Qiang picked up the binoculars again to monitor the manor.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from behind.
Derek quickly pulled out his 06 silent pistol.
When he got close, Lei Tong quickly said: "It's me!"
After saying this, Lei Tong came forward.
Derek put away the gun and asked: "Leizi, why are you here?"
Looking up at the dense raindrops in the sky, Lei Tong said solemnly: "It's very likely that Old Xu's side will act in this weather. Qiangzi, did you see anything strange?"
"No!" Wang Qiang shook his head without looking back.
"Leizi, leave this to us. You can go back and rest." Derek advised.
Lei Tong has been at the sentry post for nearly ten hours, and Derek thinks it is necessary for the latter to replenish his strength.
"Yes Lei Zi, didn't we say when we came here that this was a protracted war, and you're going to fight it to the end like this?" The voice suddenly stopped, and then Wang Qiang leaned forward, as if something possessed was pulling him.
Seeing Wang Qiang's behavior, Lei Tong quickly asked: "Why Qiangzi? Is there something wrong?"
Without any nonsense, Wang Qiang handed the telescope to Lei Tong: "3 o'clock direction of the manor."
After hearing this, Lao Xu took the telescope from the other party and looked intently.
Although it was raining heavily and he could not see clearly, Lei Tong vaguely saw a window on the second floor of the manor open, and a black shadow slowly moving down.
After fine-tuning the focus, Lei Tong could clearly see the kneaded and twisted sheets hanging on the window.
"What's going on!? What's going on?" Derek, who didn't have a telescope, asked anxiously.
Wang Qiang replied in a deep voice: "Someone climbed out of the window."
"What!? Can you be sure who it is? Is it Lao Xu and the others?"
According to the current situation, the only ones who can climb through the window are our own advance team.
According to Derek's inner guess, Lao Xu and others must have seen the heavy rain coming, and wanted to take advantage of the rainy night cover to rappel from the window to the outdoors to get in touch with themselves.
"How is it? How is it? Did Lao Xu give you any message?" Derek was impatient and asked himself without waiting for Lei Tong to give a reply.
But Lei Tong's next words directly shattered all of Derek's reasoning.
"That person is not Lao Xu!!"
The deep voice was extremely firm, even though the rain screen seriously interfered with Lei Tong's vision.
But Lei Tong and Lao Xu have been on the battlefield for so many years, and they know Lao Xu's behavior well.
Apart from other things, the other party's clumsy climbing movements alone made it impossible for him to defeat Lao Xu.
"If it's not Lao Xu, then is it Brother Hu or Lao Huo?" Derek continued without giving up.
Lei Tong held the telescope and shook his head: "No, the figure doesn't match!"
The target shadow is quite short and can't compete with the muscular Hu Xiaodong or the lean Huo Yuankai.
"They are not our people, then" Derek was surprised: "Why did the people in the manor capsize their boat in the middle of the night?"
Lei Tong couldn't answer Derek's question.
He was also full of questions. Just as Lei Tong was chatting "happily", the little black shadow finally climbed down from the second floor in embarrassment.
The other party used a little flexibility to hide in the darkness, and with the pouring rain, to be honest, it would be difficult to detect the other party's existence if you didn't look closely.
The little man was obviously fully prepared for this action. After observing the opponent's whereabouts through the thunder pupil, after making sure it was safe, he immediately picked up a bunch of things from the ground.
Lei Tong focused on it and saw that it was a rope with a claw hook.
Even seeing these fools, one can understand that the little man planned to use the grappling hook to climb over the defensive fortress built by the containers and escape from the manor.
So the question is, why did the other party do such a thing on this rainy night?
