Slowly awakening... her beautiful big eyes blinked twice, seemingly not yet fully recovered from a sweet slumber.
She twisted her graceful body slightly.
'Hmm.'
The soreness in her muscles made Lin Miaoke let out a soft involuntary moan.
This kind of coquettish sound isn't sothing you hear often, and Lin Miaoke made such a sound that could make a man's heart lt without consciously realizing it.
Once she rembered where she was, she realized that a pair of eyes was staring intensely at her.
To be precise, those eyes were fixated straight on her chest.
Looking down, she saw that because she had already changed out of her dress, she was only wearing a bra underneath.
The guy had taken the pin from her bra to unlock sothing earlier, so it was sitting a bit loose. With her wriggling, and wearing clothes that were stolen and originally for a man, they were very loose, making it easy for those eyes to catch a glimpse of sothing they shouldn't see.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Miaoke instinctively shielded her chest with her hands.
"The chest... uh, no, just looking at a beauty." Xiaofan was montarily dazzled by the sight, his response was instinctive.
With her face flushed red, Lin Miaoke looked even more enchanting and alluring, rolling her eyes at Xiaofan before slowly sitting up and getting off the bed.
It's terrifying how she managed to sleep so soundly in such a place, waking up naturally. If sothing unexpected had happened at that ti, she would've been in deep trouble.
In front of her, the foreigner had an IV drip attached to his hand, and his eyes seed to have regained so clarity.
"Is your injury alright? Where's Dr. Song?"
"Yeah, much better. Dr. Song agreed to join their organization."
"What? He agreed? Why didn't you stop him?"
"Why would I stop him? It was my idea for him to join."
"You? Are you really one of them?" Lin Miaoke asked again in disbelief.
"Pfft... Are you an idiot?" Xiaofan retorted, looking at Lin Miaoke as if she were a fool.
"Then, why?"
"It's simple; if we want to get out of here, relying on those outside discovering us is unlikely. When the Snake Head left the city, they shook off the police and switched cars, so the police have no way of finding this place."
There was another thing Xiaofan didn't ntion. He originally had a Migratory Bird Locator on him, but it wasn't turned on. After entering the cave, he turned on the locator signal and only today realized that inside the cave, it doesn't receive any external signals. So relying on Li Kuo and the others to find them was improbable.
Even without anyone saying it, Xiaofan guessed that Li Kuo and the others were definitely trying to find him, but without any communication equipnt, they could only rely on themselves.
"If we have to rely on ourselves, then we must have a mole, that's why I asked Dr. Song to pretend to join them, to stabilize the situation temporarily, and then let him help us find a way out. Isn't that great?"
"But you're putting Dr. Song at great risk."
"To survive in a place like this, everyone must take risks. You, , and everyone else wanting to return to urban life, all must face it."
"But he's just an ordinary person. If soone's going to take risks, I'm a cop, I should be the one to go."
"Lin Miaoke, rember this: here, there's no such thing as a cop. You are you; you're just a single person now with no strong backing. Understand?"
The two started to argue, one filled with passion wanting to fight for the people, the other hating to see a woman take on so much responsibility.
"But..."
"Shh... soone's coming."
Xiaofan sensed soone approaching outside the door and hurriedly pulled Lin Miaoke aside.
The footsteps approached and then slowly faded away.
Gently releasing Lin Miaoke: "It's not your fault things ended up this way. You've done very well. But rember, even though you're a cop, you're not a god. Cops are also just ordinary people, and you can't do everything. You've tried your best, haven't you?"
"But I still have to try, even if it ans dying. Those thirty or forty people locked in the iron cage are still waiting for the police to rescue them," Lin Miaoke said, her body trembling slightly.
"How do you know I can't find a way to save everyone?"
"You? What plan do you have?"
"First, have Dr. Song help us figure out the entire cave's terrain, even if only a part. Second, leave the gauze with my blood on it in so random corner of the cave, making them think we're still in here so they don't blow up the base and continue searching for us. Lastly, and most crucially, if we're going to break out, it will undoubtedly involve a fight. Once we're safely out, it ans this organization will abandon the thirty or forty people imprisoned here, leaving only one ending for them, which is death."
"What, there's no way to get everyone out together?" Lin Miaoke asked nervously.
"That's why I said the last step is the most crucial. I'm wearing a locator. If I'm gone, my companions will use the locator to find . But this cave doesn't receive signals, so if Dr. Song can take the signal out, then we have a chance."
"A chance?" Just a chance, not guaranteed success?
"Yes, even if I activate the signal, my friends might not be able to track it because every device has a numbered signal. Without knowing the number, even if they realize it, they can't track it. Plus, even if they can co, bringing thirty or forty people out is impossible unless they notify the police to work with hundreds of special forces. If all these pieces co together, then we have a higher chance of getting out. Doing so, we can not only rescue people but also wipe out this base entirely."
After hearing Xiaofan's plan, Lin Miaoke was left speechless. She couldn't believe this man could co up with such a plan in a seemingly hopeless situation. Listening to him, every part of the plan seed flawed, yet why did it sound so hopeful coming from him?
No number on the locator, can they even track it? Even if they can, can they mobilize the Special Forces?
What if they can...?
"If the plan fails, I'll have to escape with just you. At most, I can only take you," Xiaofan, having made the worst-case scenario plan, said.
