Xu Da whispered to Yang Xiang, "Cover me." Then, he went forward to open the door that wasn't closed properly. Yang Xiang aimed his gun at the gap in the door. As the door opened wider, he slowly adjusted the angle to eliminate the danger inside.
With a creak, the door was finally opened. Inside was a foyer, and there was no one in sight.
"Quick, go in. I'm worried that the sound of the door opening will alert the people inside. Quickly, take advantage of the terrain!"
As Xu Da spoke, he was the first to rush in. Yang Xiang and Yi Lian were like two lionesses on the hunt. They rushed in like the wind. Li Rui held the Glock and chased after them, unwilling to be left behind.
Just as the four of them rushed into the foyer, all the lights in the building suddenly lit up, including the foyer and the corridor.
The four of them were shocked, but Xu Da quickly recovered and whispered, "It's a voice-activated light. Keep your footsteps quiet!"
The four of them didn't move. They didn't dare to breathe loudly. After waiting for ten seconds, the lights went out one after another, and the building fell into darkness again.
Xu Da whispered an order, "Yi Lian and I will confirm that the second and third floors are safe. Yang Xiang, you two eliminate the danger on the first floor and look for the elevator. Once you confirm that the building is safe, we'll take the elevator down to save the person.
Yang Xiang agreed and pulled Li Rui. The two of them got up and went to look for the elevator.
Xu Da and Yi Lian exchanged a few words. The two of them covered each other and started to check every floor of the building to confirm that it was sufficiently safe. They didn't want to be surrounded when they went down to rescue Zixuan.
The design of this building was very different from a normal building. The door didn't open in the middle of the front of the building. Instead, it opened at the east end of the building (the side close to the entrance of the villa). After entering, there was a foyer with a corridor and stairs. This layout was probably limited by the building's location in the villa. It was convenient for people to enter the building as quickly as possible. If the door opened in the middle of the south side of the building, then people would have to walk dozens of meters to enter the villa.
Yang Xiang and Li Rui walked into the corridor, one on the left and one on the right. They leaned against the wall and guarded against each other. As they walked, they used their tactical flashlights to observe the environment in the corridor. The corridor was extremely long, almost the entire length of the building.
Looking at this corridor, Li Rui naturally thought of Zeng Baohua's description. After she and Zixuan were kidnapped and brought here, they walked through this corridor of more than a hundred steps. When they reached the end of this corridor, they were led into an elevator that led underground. In other words, the elevator was at the end of this corridor. He immediately made a soft sound with his mouth, attracting Yang Xiang's attention. When she looked over, he pointed his gun at the end of the corridor, indicating that the elevator was there.
Yang Xiang didn't understand what he meant. She glared at him in disgust and turned around. She held the flashlight in her left hand and shone it in front of her. She held the gun on her left wrist and carefully probed forward.
There seemed to be no one on the floor. There was no movement at all. All the doors were tightly shut. He couldn't tell if they were just closed or locked. The two of them walked like this for dozens of steps. They became bolder and bolder, and their footsteps unconsciously quickened.
When they reached the end of the corridor, they turned left. After turning left, they found themselves in a short but wide corridor. There was no exit in this corridor. On the right, there was a white wall. There was nothing. On the left, there were two doors, a single door and a double door. Both doors were tightly shut, but there was no elevator.
Li Rui had just deduced that the elevator was here, but he was quickly slapped in the face by the cold reality. He originally wanted to immediately take the elevator down to rescue Zixuan, but he didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen. At that moment, he was at a loss and disappointed. He stared blankly at the wall.
Yang Xiang was also very confused. She moved closer to Li Rui and whispered, "This is the end. Why isn't there an elevator?"
Li Rui frowned and said, "I'm also confused. Zeng Baohua said that she and Zixuan walked through the long corridor just now and then entered the elevator. In other words, the elevator must be in this corridor. But why isn't there one? There are no elevator doors and no elevator buttons on the wall. It's really strange. "
Yang Xiang frowned and thought for a moment. She stared at the doors on the left side of the corridor and whispered, "Don't be discouraged. Maybe the elevator to the underground is hidden in these doors."
Li Rui's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't he think of this? Maybe there was an independent elevator hall behind one of the doors. Thinking of this, he was invigorated. He stepped in front of the first single door and raised his hand to grab the door handle.
Just as he was about to grab the door handle, he heard a crisp "pop" sound coming from the double door on the right. The two of them turned their heads at the same time. They saw a gray smoke rising from the top of the iron door. In an instant, a very unpleasant smell of barbecued meat filled the air. In the smoke, a small gray thing flew through the air and landed on the ground.
The two of them looked over and saw that it was a big gray gecko on the ground. At this time, its abdomen was charred black and its body was stiff. It was lying on its back on the marble floor and couldn't be more dead.
The two of them didn't know what to do with this sudden scene. They looked at each other and stared at the gecko for a while. Yang Xiang turned to look at the double door on the right. After a while, she suddenly realized something. She strode forward and pulled Li Rui away. She said to him with a serious expression, "Don't touch these two doors!"
Li Rui didn't understand what she meant and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Xiang pointed at the gecko on the ground and said angrily, "You're asking me what's wrong? What do you think is wrong? A living gecko just climbed onto the double door and suddenly became like this. If you still open this single door, you might become like this too. "
Li Rui looked at the gecko in a daze and said, "This … this looks like it's been barbecued on an iron plate."
Yang Xiang scolded, "Barbecued your head! Didn't you hear the sound just now? That was the sound of an electric shock. This gecko was electrocuted to death. It was electrocuted when it climbed from the wall to the metal door. In other words, the double door is electrified and the voltage is not low! "
Li Rui was dumbfounded and said, "It can't be, right? Why would the door be electrified? What kind of joke is this? "
Yang Xiang looked at him with disappointment, like a strict and loving teacher looking at her student. She said in a low voice, "So what if the door is electrified? Why can't the door be electrified? Where do you think this is? Your home or a hotel? A door is a door, and electricity is electricity. Can't you mix them up? This is the terrorist's nest! Do you know what kind of trap the terrorists have set for us? What kind of mechanism have they installed? Just now, Xu Da was set up by the terrorists. Luckily, it wasn't a life-threatening mechanism, but the two doors in front of us could very well be a life-threatening mechanism. If this gecko hadn't saved you, you would already be dead! You don't even know where the danger lies, so don't be careless and don't act rashly! If you want to touch anything, check carefully first. "
Li Rui's expression became serious and he asked in puzzlement, "You mean that the terrorists have electrified these two doors? Then why was nothing fine when Xu Da opened the most important door? "
Yang Xiang shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either. Maybe the door was left open for the three terrorists outside to use. Anyway, don't touch anything now. I'll get Xu Da and the others to keep an eye on the elevator."
After saying this, she pulled Li Rui to the middle of the corridor and asked him to guard the way with a gun. She used the wireless headset to talk to Xu Da and asked him and Yi Lian to keep an eye on the second and third floors to see if there was an elevator.
When Xu Da heard this, he felt very strange and asked, "You didn't find an elevator on the first floor? Why would you install an elevator on the second or third floor instead of the first floor? Besides, Mary entered the elevator from the first floor that day. You … "
Yang Xiang said, "We've found the first floor corridor, but we haven't found an elevator yet. Where there should be an elevator, there are two doors. One of them seems to be electrified. I think it's very strange, so I haven't checked it yet."
Xu Da said, "Okay, Yi Lian and I will keep an eye on it. We'll meet up with you later. We're on the second floor now, and we haven't found anyone yet …"
After this conversation, Yang Xiang said to Li Rui, "Wait for Xu Da and the others!"
Li Rui said anxiously, "We're already here. If we don't check first, why wait for Xu Da and the others?"
Yang Xiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who said we're not checking? I'll check right now! If you can find a wooden stick, get it for me. Don't talk nonsense. "As she said this, she moved closer to the two doors and shone a flashlight on them to observe carefully.
Li Rui looked around and thought to himself, This is the building, not the forest outside. Where am I going to find a wooden stick for you?
After waiting for about five minutes, Xu Da and Yi Lian finished checking the two floors above. After roughly confirming that it was safe, they came down to meet up with Li Rui and Yi Lian. The reason why it was roughly confirmed was because the two of them only walked around the corridor on each floor. They didn't enter every room to check. Firstly, there wasn't enough time. Secondly, they were worried that there might be traps in the rooms, so they didn't enter.
After the four of them met up, Xu Da and Yi Lian also carefully observed the two doors that were supposed to be elevators. Yi Lian looked at the dead gecko on the ground and said, "We're really lucky. God sent this gecko to warn us. However, we do have to be more careful in a terrorist's house. In my experience, there are only two kinds of tricks that can be done on the door. One is to connect it with electricity, and use it to kill the intruder. The other is to install a trigger bomb, and when the intruder opens the door, it will detonate the bomb. No matter which one it is, someone needs to set it up inside the door. Moreover, that person can't come out after setting it up. Now, I'll check and see if these two doors are electrified. If they are electrified, it means that there is at least one terrorist inside. Everyone has to be careful. (Beautiful) "
Xu Da asked, "How are you going to check? (Beautiful) "After asking, he translated her words to Li Rui and Yi Lian.
