Time flies.
Xie Chen asked the security guard for pen and paper, and started planning the layout of the swimming pool in the security room.
Through the security guard's description of the box, Xie Chen also had another plan in mind.
I just don’t know if it will play any role in the end.
The woman has been sitting in a chair nearby in a daze, her pupils obviously dull, and she is somewhat similar to the state she had in the swimming pool at the beginning.
But after careful observation, there seems to be some subtle differences. This difference is not just a difference in emotions. If you really want to say it yourself, it is a bit hard to explain.
This made Xie Chen feel a little worried.
But as of now, there is no good solution available.
However, the old man who said he went to the market to buy vegetables came back again after about two hours.
Just looking at the things she bought, whether they were ingredients or fruits, in large and small bags, Xie Chen felt rich at a glance.
The old man's face was full of smiles, and he was no longer as timid in front of the woman, but the woman couldn't cheer up.
It was just a symbolic response to some of the old man's questions. The old man probably felt that his daughter-in-law might still have a grudge in his heart, and he didn't ask too much about her mental state.
Time passed quickly and night had fallen.
It was now around eight o'clock in the evening. The security guard ordered a piece of fried rice to eat, and Xie Chen also asked him to help order two pieces of food.
It’s just that he and the woman have already eaten the food.
Xie Chen just sat on the chair, staring solemnly at the drawn route map on the table.
The woman stood behind Xie Chen, looking particularly energetic.
Xie Chen probably touched it because she knew in her heart that tonight was the time to avenge her child, and she would never show the slightest bit of decadence.
But it’s really hard to say without holding on...
"It's already eight o'clock, there's still half an hour left."
The security guard saw that the two of them had been staring at the paper motionless since they had just finished eating. He also looked at the time on his mobile phone and gave a warning.
In fact, I just wanted to break the silence, and had no other meaning.
Tonight's truck arrived at the entrance of the swimming pool around 8:30.
"After you finish eating, hurry up and get ready. You still need to go to the joint."
Xie Chen turned his head and glanced at the security guard, then whispered an instruction.
"You want me to go?"
The security guard pointed at himself, feeling helpless.
"I thought you wanted to rob it directly, and it took me a long time to ask for it."
"But as agreed, I will only be responsible for the connection. Don't involve me in other matters. You can do whatever you like."
Xie Chen nodded, responding to his request, but she still looked at him quietly from the corner of her eyes, trying to see if he would reveal any flaws.
But the security guard still looked carefree, and no change could be seen.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
But it was nearly ten minutes behind the expected time, and the sound of a truck driving was heard when I looked back.
The security guard heard the noise, put on his hat, opened the door, and walked out.
Xie Chen immediately came to the door and stared outside.
The truck's flashing lights were very dazzling. Someone got out of the truck, but I couldn't see the person's face clearly. I could only see that he was wearing something that looked like a protective suit but didn't look like one.
The security guard strode forward to negotiate. Although the truck engine was noisy, Xie Chen could barely hear some words clearly.
It can be seen that this is not the first time the two have met.
Xiechen reached out and opened the crack in the door wider, hoping to hear more of the conversation between the two of them.
However, there was a violent friction sound at the door, which almost scared Xie Chen to death.
Fortunately, the sound of the truck's engine was quite loud on their side, and the friction sound alone could not alert anyone at all.
Xie Chen was half squatting like this, and the voices of the two people were getting smaller and smaller, and they didn't seem to be talking at all.
But he was not in a hurry. After all, it probably had nothing to do with it being a delivery person. The most important thing was whether the contents of the wooden box were what he had guessed.
As the surrounding sounds gradually subsided, the truck's engine also stopped.
A man wearing similar protective clothing jumped out of the rear end of the truck, then reached out and opened the skateboard underneath, and the security guard followed suit and pulled the trailer over.
With the combined efforts of the two of them, the wooden box in the truck was pushed down and landed firmly on the iron frame of the trailer.
Xie Chen watched the man in protective clothing get into the truck, insert the key and start it again.
After the security guard towed the trailer back, the truck also drove away.
From the arrival of the truck, the conversation to the unloading, it only took about ten minutes. The process seemed very fast and there was no sloppiness.
The security guard pushed the trailer with great effort, stood there and waved at the door of the security room.
"Don't look at it. He's already gone. Come here quickly."
The security guard shouted loudly, and the sound reached Xiechen's ears.
Almost at the same time, the woman and Xie Chen rushed over and arrived at the security guard's side in the blink of an eye.
"Everyone has already left and you are still lingering. Do you want to see this thing?"
The security guard put one hand on his waist and said angrily.
Xie Chen didn't want to pay attention to his complaints, so he took the crowbar in his hand and inserted it into the gap in the wooden box.
With a clang, the tip of the crowbar got stuck on the nail, and Xie Chen had no choice but to pull it down, and then it was embedded.
"Hey, wait."
The security guard immediately stretched out his hand to stop Xie Chen's movements.
Xie Chen turned to look at him, but he immediately took nearly ten steps back.
"Okay, now you can continue."
Xie Chen glared at him and pressed the crowbar down hard, but it still bounced back. He was obviously not strong enough on his own.
The woman on the side saw this and immediately stepped forward to help.
With the combined efforts of the two of them, the crowbar finally lifted up the board, revealing a huge gap.
A liquid seeped out from the gap, and then there was an unbearable smell.
Xie Chen immediately had a physiological reaction. His throat felt a little itchy and he almost vomited it out.
This smell is indescribable. Compared with the fishy smell of dead fish, the latter is not worth mentioning at all, and it is not even worthy of lifting one's feet.
Although the woman wanted to get closer and take a closer look, the smell still made her take a few steps back.
Xie Chen also resisted the pressure and did not move forward. Instead, he took out the flashlight he had brought from the security room and shined it there.
A tentacle with mucus slipped out of the gap and stuck to the ground.
There are many suction cups attached to the tentacles, which look a bit like octopus legs, but there are many red spots on them, which makes it impossible to determine the previous judgment.
Xie Chen covered his mouth and nose and slowly moved forward, touching the hand with the crowbar in his hand.
The tentacles didn't react at all, they were still drooping.
"died?"
Xie Chen frowned and murmured softly.
But the next second, the tentacles began to slide, and he immediately became wary and took several steps back.
But at the end of the slide, the entire arm-long octopus fell to the ground softly.
Xie Chen pinched his nose and looked forward, only to realize that it was an octopus that had deteriorated for an unknown amount of time.
There are many traces of rot on it, and even mold has left a lot of traces on the meat, making people unappetizing just by looking at it.
"Is it possible that the whole box is full of this kind of stuff?"
Xie Chen had such doubts in his heart.
In fact, there is not much difference between this and my original guess.
But what I didn't expect was that they were all rotten and smelly marine creatures. If you were really doing genetic research, shouldn't the fresher the better?
At first, I heard the security guard say that it smelled a little fishy, so I had a suspicion about it. Moreover, since it was actually in the water, it was normal to have a fishy smell.
But now I know that the fishy smell is actually a rancid smell, coming from inside the sealed box.
Even though the security guard stood far away, he was unavoidable and suffered the same consequences.
He really didn't expect that the smell of the broken box would be so strong after being pried open.
Xie Chen turned around and cast his eyes on the woman. She immediately understood what he meant. After turning back to the security room, she pushed out another trailer that had been prepared.
A replica with similar specifications to this box has been prepared above.
After the two looked at each other, they nodded slightly.
Almost ten or twenty minutes have passed since the truck finished escorting the goods.
It was now approaching nine o'clock, and the security guard came to the entrance of the swimming pool with a painful look on his face while pushing the trailer.
After rummaging around in his pocket for a while, the key to the door was immediately in his hand.
It doesn't take long to open the door lock, but the swimming pool has been cut off for a long time.
After the security guard opened the door, it was completely dark inside, to the point where you couldn't even see your fingers.
But there is always a solution when encountering a problem, and the flashlight in the hand of the security guard perfectly solves the problem.
However, it was still a bit difficult to push the trailer with one hand, and the fishy smell coming from Xiangzhi was really unbearable.
The longer you push, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
The security guard had no choice but to put the flashlight in his mouth, push the trailer with both hands, and run as hard as he could.
After passing the two huge empty swimming pools at the front, people and trailers also came to the sauna room inside.
The tiles below were obviously pressed out with two marks, and even more than half of the smooth tile surface had been worn away.
These marks exactly match the four pairs of wheels on the trailer.
The security guard didn't pay that much attention and immediately pushed the trailer onto a homemade platform.
As the inflation valve opened, the stable trailer also slid down, leaving the heavy box at the door of the sauna.
After doing this, the security guard immediately turned around and pulled the trailer out of the swimming pool gate without any delay.
