The heavy rain did not stop, and we continued to advance in the drainage channel. We continued to approach the end of the drainage channel.
As we continued to approach, I also saw clearly how the drainage system of the park worked.
There is a river on the east side of the park. The terrain is relatively low. All the water in the park is drained into this river through various pipes.
At the same time, this river leads to the small town where you came from. As long as you follow this river, you can get ashore from the small town.
On the upper reaches of the river, there was nothing visible under the night, and it seemed to be a big mountain.
At the end of the drainage channel is a large cement pipe that leads to the river outside.
What blocks us is the iron mesh at the entrance, which is composed of steel bars, each one as thick as a finger.
And the gap between each one is only two inches wide. Not to mention people, even the larger water snakes in the river may not be able to get in.
"Time waits for no one, let's get started!"
A few people clicked, and since the steel bars were not too thin, we asked Nie Zixuan to stand guard while the three of us took turns using a hacksaw blade to deal with the obstacles in front of us.
The steel bars are not thin and are not easy to handle. Song Hao and I spent a lot of effort to cut off one.
With just one stick, we were already out of breath from exhaustion, but we couldn't stop, we could only keep changing people, and we didn't dare to delay even one stick.
After forty or fifty minutes, I felt like my tiger's mouth was about to be sawed off and cracked. My whole arm was so sore that I almost had no strength left.
Fortunately, there is only one last piece of steel left, so we can escape.
The saw blade has not stopped for a moment, and even in the rain, you can feel the hot temperature coming from it.
As the last steel rod fell into the water, the three of us all had long-lost smiles on their faces.
"It worked! It finally worked!" Song Hao threw away the saw blade in his hand, slumped on the ground, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go out first!"
You can escape as long as you pass through the cement pipe in front of you. Now is not the time to relax.
Song Hao immediately got up and rushed into the pipe first.
The rapid rain washed us directly into the river outside. Fortunately, we were not landlubbers, so we immediately climbed to the shore.
When we got to the shore, we spread out on the ground with smiles on our faces.
"I'm out, I finally escaped!" Song Hao said excitedly.
Nie Zixuan's face was also full of smiles. Maybe she never thought that she would be able to escape from this place one day.
Zhao Yan and I were much calmer. This was not the first time we had escaped, or even the first time we had regained our freedom.
We all know that jumping out is only the first step. The next step is not to be caught, and to be able to stay away from Myawaddy without any danger is to truly gain freedom.
"Brother Cheng, which way should we go now?"
I took a look at my surroundings and thought carefully.
There are mountains above. As long as we go up the river, we can escape into the mountains. This is the best choice for us.
But no one present knew the surrounding map. Once they entered the mountains, they would bump around like headless flies, and there was also the risk of being caught back.
Below the river and on the opposite side are large residential areas. I have experienced the power of these people in northern Myanmar. As long as they see us.
We probably won't be able to leave, and they won't let us walking cash go.
After some thought, I decided to walk up the mountain. The risk of crossing through the residential area was too great.
"Go upstream and pass through the mountains!"
After making up our minds, we immediately set off and headed upstream.
We walked along the wall of the park for a long time. The houses on the other side of the river had disappeared and were replaced by another river. The two rivers merged here and flowed downstream.
The fast-flowing river forced us to continue walking up regardless of the risk. After walking for a while, a sentry tower appeared in front of us. There was a wooden bridge in the river, and there was also a sentry tower on the other side of the river.
Behind the sentry tower opposite, you can still vaguely see a few buildings.
"Why are there buildings here? Is this also part of the park?" I frowned and looked at Zhao Yan.
"I don't know. It looks like it belongs to the park, but I've never heard of it." Zhao Yan spread his hands.
"Damn, what should we do now? The bridge in front cannot be crossed by diving." Song Hao sighed with some disappointment.
There were sentry towers on both sides of the wooden bridge in front of me, and there were even big lights on each side facing downwards.
You can't dive, so if you want to get over here, you have no chance at all.
My face also became ugly. I didn't expect that there would be such an obstacle waiting for us upstream.
Now I feel quite frustrated. When I think of myself having escaped from the park but being blocked here, I feel so angry that I punch the wall next to me.
"Now there is no other option but to wade through the river."
A stern look appeared on my face, and I wanted to wade directly across the fast-flowing river in front of me.
"Brother Cheng, why don't we go downstream and have a look? It's raining so hard now, and a lot of water has grown in the river. The water is too strong. We will definitely be washed away by the water halfway through the swim." Nie Zixuan advised.
"Yes, Brother Cheng, it's already night now, and it's raining heavily. If we go out from the lower reaches, even if we reach the small town, no one may come to stop us." Zhao Yan also persuaded me not to take risks and go to the lower reaches to have a look first.
After two consecutive days of heavy rain, the river has indeed become extremely fast, and its amazing flow speed can be seen in the night.
If we jumped into the river at this time, we would not be able to swim to the other side with our strength.
The final outcome is likely to be that we are directly swept away by the river, and then drowned in the rolling river water.
After a moment of silence, I finally gave in, "Let's go downstream first and take a look!"
The group of people braved the heavy rain, soaked to the skin, and trudged downstream.
Now we not only need to prevent people in the park from finding out the suspicion and chasing him out, but we also need to find a shelter from the rain as soon as possible.
If we keep getting wet like this, sooner or later our bodies will be unable to hold on.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the small town outside the park. There was no one left under the heavy rain. We found a place to hide from the rain, discussed which direction to escape, and took a rest.
While wringing out the clothes on his body, he looked around the neighborhood, trying to find a suitable direction.
After a while, Zhao Yan suggested running to the village in the south, because it was easier to meet Chinese people doing business there.
Moreover, the situation in the south is relatively stable, and we can also have a chance to breathe.
After making up our mind, we immediately fled south, but before we could run out of the town, Zhao Yan's cell phone suddenly rang.
We immediately stopped against the wall and looked at the phone in Zhao Yan's hand warily.
"Hey, who is it?" Zhao Yan frowned and answered the phone.
"Tell Zhang Cheng, stop running outside. You may have been targeted by someone now, and there are security guards with guns patrolling outside the town at all times. If you can't escape, run back quickly and treat everything as a threat. Did not happen!"
After saying one sentence, the phone was immediately hung up, and Zhao Yan relayed the words on the phone to me in confusion.
I suddenly remembered what Governor Xu said before about someone protecting my life, and immediately asked: "Is the other person a man or a woman?"
"Female, quite young!"
After hearing Zhao Yan's answer, I immediately asked a few people to turn around and run towards the park, with a vague guess in my mind.
