At nine o'clock every morning, the guards would open the door and deliver food into the building. This time, Uwa hid behind the door wearing an invisibility cloak. When the door opened, she quietly slipped out. Amandine sat alone in front of the computer on the third floor, pretending to work seriously, but his heart was in turmoil. Uwa came back at around four o'clock in the afternoon. The process was relatively smooth and did not alarm the Illuminati. "How is it? does the old man have any good ideas?" Amandine asked anxiously.
"The old man said that we can only dig a hole to get out. It is impossible for two people to get out through the main door."
"Bullshit, I thought he had a better idea."
Uwa took out a small shovel and a map from her arms, "This is what the old man asked me to bring back."
Amandine took it and took a look, "This old guy is really thoughtful."
"He said to dig from the north side of the basement. There is a river 60 meters away. We will stop when we reach the river, and then dig a hole upwards to get out." It seems that this is the only way, Amandine thought desperately. The next step was to prepare how to enter the basement, where there was a locked door. There were five surveillance cameras on the first floor, and one of them was facing the entrance to the basement. If the two wanted to enter without being noticed, they had to be invisible. Uwa was fine, but Amandine was in trouble. His breath-holding time was too short, and he couldn't get to the basement at all. He wanted Uwa to dig alone, but he got stuck at the first level. Uwa couldn't open the door to the basement, so she had to go back. "What should I do, brother?"
Amandine could open some simple door locks, and this time he wanted to do it himself. In the middle of the night, he wore dark clothes and pants and took advantage of the darkness to get out of the "hole". He put on a cloak first and went down from the third floor. His strategy was to hide under the surveillance camera to breathe, and the breathing time was controlled within three seconds, so that even if he was seen, it would not be easy to detect. After avoiding several surveillance cameras on the third floor, he came to the second floor. The layout here was similar to that of the third floor. He followed the same pattern and successfully avoided and reached the first floor. The first floor was completely different from the floors above. There were not so many compartments here, and it was even harder to hide. He calculated that it would take at least three minutes to reach the next hiding place from the current hiding place, which was longer than the time he could hold his breath. He looked around and found a big box in the middle of the two places. He planned to hide there to take a breath. 1, 2, 3, holding his breath, he immediately rushed to the box when he saw the target. This time he ran, and it took only more than 40 seconds to reach the destination. He flashed into the box, squatted down, and took a long breath, "Hey, it stinks." He felt something was wrong with his feet, looked down, and saw that he was stepping on a dead mouse. Fortunately, he was not a picky person, so he moved his position, picked up the mouse's tail and threw it out. He took another breath, it was still a bit smelly, he didn't care so much, stuck his head out, and prepared to run to the next hiding place. He held his breath, stood up and stepped out of the box. This time the distance was shorter, he did not choose to run, but walked over. In this way, he finally arrived at the basement after hiding. The entrance to the basement is monitored, but he has to turn two corners to see the door, so it was safe to arrive here. He found that the door lock was quite ordinary, so there must be nothing valuable underneath. He took out the prepared lock picking tools, and the door was opened in a few tries. Pushing the door open, a musty damp smell hit him in the face. It seemed that no one had been in and out for a long time. As soon as he entered, the light automatically lit up. Amandine covered his nose and walked slowly forward. The first warehouse was piled with various scrap steel pipes. There were five or six huge rats climbing up and down along the pipes. They were very brave and did not choose to escape when someone came in. Going forward, he entered the second warehouse. There were bundles of dyed cloth piled here, some of which looked moldy. There was also a teddy bear lying in the corner. Then he walked forward and there was an aisle. After passing through it, two rooms appeared in front of him, but neither was locked. Amandine pushed open one of them. The style inside was completely different from the previous one. It was very dry. The whole house was paved with wooden boards. There were two pillars in the middle, and wooden boxes were piled up around. Amandine was not interested in these. He wanted to see which direction the north was. Exit this room and go to another one. There was only an empty shelf here. He calculated that the main door was facing south, and the opposite side should be north, which seemed to be here. He moved the shelf away and drew a circle on the wall. This was the place to dig. Then he made a mark on the door, thinking of asking Uwa to dig. She was simple-minded and strong, and was the most suitable for this kind of thing. He returned to the third floor according to the method he used when he came. Uwa was happy to see him and shouted, "Brother, you are back?"
Amandine looked at her and said earnestly, "Big Buffalo, my mission is completed. The rest depends on you. You must work hard so that we can see the light of day again." Uwa nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely do it."
Amandine reminded her of the precautions and went to bed. It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and Uwa put on a cloak and went down to dig. The next morning, when Amandine woke up, he saw no one and was worried that someone would see her in the basement during the day. "This idiot, why hasn't she come back yet?"
While he was nagging, Uwa came back with a dusty face. Amandine looked at her and said, "Go wash up, you're so dirty!"
Uwa thought she would be praised, but she didn't expect Amandine to think she was dirty. She felt sad and went into the bathroom to wash up without saying a word. Twenty minutes later, she came out.
"How is it? How far did you dig?"
"This long!" Uwa stretched out her arms and gestured.
"That's three meters long, not bad! It will be dug through in about twenty days." After a pause, he asked, "Where do you pile the soil?"
"In that room."
"Stupid, how do you get in next? The more you dig, the more soil you dig. Do you want to bury yourself alive in it?"
"What should I do?"
"Move the soil to another room."
"Brother, there will be no time to dig a hole."
"Then you set out early tonight and start digging at 11 o'clock. You rest here during the day." Then, Uwa set out on time at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night every day. After 25 days, a 60-meter-long and 1-meter-high secret passage was finally dug through. Amandine was ready to escape tonight. After dinner, the two hid in the basement and did not come out, wanting to wait until dark before taking action. Because they were afraid that not returning to the bedroom would arouse suspicion, the two were very nervous. At this moment, they were sitting at the entrance of the secret passage, face to face. With nothing else to do, Amandine asked, "Big Buffalo, where do you want to go this time?"
"Brother, you decide! I'll listen to you." Amandine looked helpless. It's not good to be too obedient, because he lost someone to chat with.
