This also meant that Mike, Sam, and the others were most likely already awake and were out doing morning exercises or eating breakfast. Even if the power was restored at this time, the two women would be able to reach the surface through the elevator. They would also be discovered and captured, not to mention that the power had not been restored yet.
When the two women considered this, the last bit of hope in their hearts disappeared. Their hearts completely sank into the abyss.
"Looks like we're dead meat. Let's go, Miss Gao. Let's go back. Although being beheaded will be a painful death, at least we'll be each other's companions … "
Mary's spirit had completely collapsed. Her will had completely collapsed. Not only did she not have the slightest intention of escaping, she even comforted herself like Ah Q did. Of course, given the situation she was facing now, no one else would be able to perform better than her.
Gao Zixuan also realized that God was full of malice for wanting to play the two of them to death. Otherwise, why would he only open the iron door of the cell but not give them a path to the surface? She sighed as if she had accepted her fate. "Yes, go back and wait for your death."
After saying this, she suddenly relaxed. She felt that death was also a kind of relief. Although she would leave the people she loved and loved her in death, she would also not have to suffer such incomparably huge psychological torture like the one in front of her. At that moment, she was no longer confused and walked in the direction of the cell. However, she only took one step when the outside of her right leg brushed against the trash can. This made her realize the existence of the trash can again …
"Let's walk back hand in hand so that we don't bump into each other."
Mary carefully reached out and found Gao Zixuan's left arm. She pulled her left hand and the two walked side by side to the cell.
After walking a dozen steps, Gao Zixuan suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked at the darkness in front of her without saying a word.
Mary was very puzzled and asked, "Why did you stop?"
Gao Zixuan said calmly, "Come with me." After saying this, she pulled her back to the elevator door and stood in front of the trash can.
"Mary, this trash can is very big. It should be able to hide people. You go in and hide. I'll help you cover your body with the trash!"
Gao Zixuan lifted the lid of the trash can and leaned against the wall as she turned to Mary beside her.
Mary was stunned for a moment and said, "Hide in the trash can? What's the use? We'll still be discovered by them. "
Gao Zixuan squeezed her hand and whispered, "For us now, this trash can is our only hope and the only way to save ourselves. You'll hide in there, squat there and don't move. Then, listen carefully to the movements outside. When they come down in the elevator after the call, you'll hear the movement and be prepared to climb out. When they walk into the cell, I'll think of a way to hold them back. You'll take the opportunity to take the elevator up and escape. If they ask about you in the cell, I'll just say that you're relieving yourself in the bathroom. They probably won't go into the bathroom to check, and you'll have more time to escape. "
"Ah … No!" Mary was both surprised and touched. "Why me? Miss Gao, you're still thinking about me even now? Don't you want to live? No, I don't agree. If you want to hide, then hide together. If you don't want to hide, then don't hide at all. I can't let you die here alone. "
Gao Zixuan sighed and said, "Mary, you've always been very smart. You should know that only one person can hide, and the other person has to be responsible for covering up. If both of you disappear, those terrorists will realize it immediately and won't give the other person any time to escape. "Why you and not me? The answer is very simple. It's because their main target is me. You're just an accessory when they kidnapped me. In other words, if I didn't hire you, you wouldn't have encountered this unexpected disaster. So, you have to be the one hiding here. "More importantly, you've lived in the United States for a long time and are familiar with the road environment and the police station here. It'll be easier for you to escape to a safe place and call the police. But if it's me, then it's all over. I can't even talk to people, so how can I call the police to save you? So, don't say anything and hide in there! "
"No, no, I don't want to hide in there. Miss Gao, you hide in there. I'll cover for you. You're still young. You shouldn't die here …"
Mary was moved to tears. She grabbed Gao Zixuan's arm and pushed her in front of the dustbin.
Gao Zixuan shook her head and smiled bitterly. "No, they'll check immediately if they don't see me. Even if you cover for me, they must see me in person before they can be at ease. Because I'm the main person. What's more, I can't escape far because I don't know the way and can't talk to outsiders. It has to be you! Hurry up, they can come down at any time. "
The two women humbly pushed and pulled each other for a long time. Finally, Mary was convinced and stood in the dustbin with tears flowing down her face. The dustbin was almost full. The two women had to take out most of the garbage bags to make room for Mary to hide in. After Mary squatted down and hid, Gao Zixuan put back the garbage bags one by one. She tried to cover Mary as perfectly as possible so that Mike and Mary wouldn't look at the dustbin when they came down.
After putting down the lid of the dustbin, Gao Zixuan quietly said goodbye to Mary.
The two women's parting this time could be an eternal parting. One of them escaped and lived to old age, while the remaining one was beheaded by the terrorists. It could also be a temporary separation, and they would meet again after a while. Mary didn't manage to escape and was found and captured by the terrorists. Among them, the probability of the latter was higher. After all, although the plan that Gao Zi Xuan thought of was wonderful, it was very difficult to execute. But no matter what, this was the only way that the two girls could launch to save themselves. If they did it, there was a slim chance of survival. If they didn't do it, there was no chance of survival.
After saying goodbye to Mary, Gao Zixuan turned and walked towards the cell. She quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and her face became extremely determined.
In the dustbin, Mary was enduring the sensory destruction brought by all kinds of garbage. The smell of the garbage was so bad and disgusting that it made her dizzy even through the garbage bags. She firmly covered her mouth and nose with her hand, afraid that she would suddenly sneeze and expose herself.
"Miss Gao is so good to me and trusts me so much. She's willing to give me the chance to live and leave the tragedy of death to herself. I must successfully escape, find the police, and save her. I won't let her down. Therefore, I can't make any sound right now. I can't move no matter how uncomfortable or disgusting it is. I'll just pretend that I'm already dead! "
Mary clearly knew the heavy burden on her shoulders, so she had a clear request for herself. Not only did she have to successfully escape, she also had to bring the police back to rescue Gao Zixuan. Compared to two precious lives, this little bit of torture was nothing.
She waited and waited. She didn't know how long she had waited. Mary's legs had long gone from numb to completely numb. She was even starting to worry that even if Gao Zixuan created an opportunity for her, she wouldn't have the strength to crawl out of the dustbin.
After waiting for a long time, light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. Mary quickly realized that the power was restored, but she soon suspected that it was an illusion because she was in the dustbin with a few layers of garbage bags covering her head. She couldn't see the light outside at all.
Just as she was feeling strange, she suddenly heard the sound of the elevator running from inside the elevator next to her. It should be the elevator shaft. This also confirmed the meaning of the light she saw just now. There was indeed power!
"It should be the terrorists who came down to see if Miss Gao and I took the opportunity to escape … Hiss, that's not right. They should be smarter than us. How could they have thought that Miss Gao and I wouldn't be able to escape under the power outage? Then they probably came down to do a routine check. "
Mary's mind became abnormally clear at this moment. She made a very clear analysis and judgment. Then, she covered her mouth and nose with her hands and didn't dare to move at all. She was afraid that the people who came would hear her.
After a short few seconds, Mary heard the elevator door open and a person walk out. The person seemed to have stopped outside the elevator door and didn't walk to the cell.
"What is he doing? Why isn't he moving? Did he discover me? "
Mary couldn't help but feel guilty, but she could only feel guilty for nothing. There was nothing she could do.
From the perspective of standing in the corridor outside the dustbin, the corridor was now brightly lit. The person standing outside the elevator door wasn't either Mike or Sam. Instead, it was a young black woman in her twenties. She had a very strong body and a fierce face. The black woman stood beside the dustbin and stared blankly at the empty corridor. She lazily yawned a few times. Then, she walked a few steps and walked to the inside of the dustbin. Compared to the corridor, she turned around and bent over slightly. She placed her hands on the top of the dustbin and gave it a gentle push.
Mary, who was hiding in the dustbin, felt the dustbin shake slightly. It seemed that someone had pushed it. She was so frightened that her mind went blank. She didn't know where she was and didn't know what to do.
The black woman thought that she could push the dustbin away with a little force. Unexpectedly, after she pushed it, the dustbin only shook a little and didn't move. She was very puzzled. She muttered, "If you don't eat breakfast, you don't have the strength." Then, she casually lifted the lid of the dustbin.
