Darin tried to comfort Lei, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find any convincing words. He was injected with medicine that made him feel weak, his hands were handcuffed, his legs were broken, and he was locked in a dark iron warehouse, making it impossible to fly. Not to mention comforting others, he himself fell into the abyss of despair.
"You have been in a coma for a day and a night. They have been going south, and have come out of the lake area to the plain. There are eight of them, six men, two women, and two hounds. They speak Arabic, and they should be members of Al Qaeda. " Lei Chen closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
The fear in Darin's heart became more intense. He remembers his father's company discovering a new oil field in the Middle East with a lot of capacity. This may have touched the interests of some people, and he is the bargaining chip for competing for interests.
The world knows how brutal al Qaeda members are. They made human bombs, massacred unarmed civilians, and set off a bloodbath all over the world. Falling into their hands, the chances of survival are very small.
Darin was cold all over and curled up like a shrimp. He is only 17 years old this year, and he is still a child.
"I'm sorry." He buried his face in his knees and sobbed softly. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have trusted Emily."
"It's not your fault." Lei Chen felt a little unaccustomed to the high-spirited young man suddenly showing such a fragile side. He opened his eyes and promised solemnly, "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine. Trust me."
Even in such a predicament, the boy still maintained an extraordinary calmness. The sonorous and forceful words he said instantly soothed Darin who was in despair.
"How do you know how many of them there are?" His brain began to function normally, Darin realized something was wrong as soon as the words came out, and asked in amazement, "Did you not faint at that time?"
"Well, their medicine is useless to me." Lei Chen nodded.
"Then when they broke your leg..." Darin felt his throat constricted badly. The feeling of being cut off abruptly must be awful, Lei not only endured it, but also didn't let those terrorists notice the difference. At this moment, he truly realized the gap between himself and Lei. Maybe in Lei's eyes, he is not worthy to be his opponent at all
Darin sniffed, feeling extremely sad, even more sad than being kidnapped.
"My leg wasn't broken, it's just that the bone was cracked, and I can still walk." Lei Chen couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know that the little prince of the Burns family was so fragile. He started to cry as soon as he wanted to cry, and two tear stains appeared on his black and gray face. He looked funny and cute.
Darin felt very embarrassed, buried his face in his knees, and waited for the tears to be suppressed before he asked, "Why did you retire last time? I've been asking about you."
"There was a small car accident." Lei Chen explained simply.
"Then are you injured?" Darin asked nervously.
"Surprise but no danger." Lei Chen shook his head and made a silent gesture.
A few seconds later, the warehouse door opened, and three tall men wearing masks walked in. Two of them compared Darin's head with a submachine gun, and the other pulled a black cloth behind him to cover up all possible dangers. After exposing the hiding place, he handed Darin a note, turned on the camera, and ordered in pure English, "Read the words above without any emotional j□j."
Darin's face was ugly, his temples were sunken by the gun barrel.
A long section at the beginning extols al Qaeda's 'great feats', followed by a demonstration to the Burns family. After Darin finished reading intermittently, the three gangsters left satisfied. Before leaving, one of them pointed to the Asian boy in the corner and asked in Arabic, "What should he do?"
"Let Shan Ying check his life experience, if he is a commoner, kill him." The leader man said coldly.
The door was locked again, and Darin was anxious and afraid. Because he could understand Arabic, he knew that Ray was in danger.
"They said they wanted to kill you. Your identity must not be simple. If you confess to them, you can live a few more days." The voice of the blond boy was trembling.
Lei Chen shook his head expressionlessly, "No, I will only die faster if I confess to them." Because his father is Lei Ting, the number one arms dealer in Asia, who is known as the king of mercenaries. Several leaders of Al Qaeda died at the hands of his father. If they knew his identity, they would only use the cruelest and bloodiest methods to deal with him.
And his information was set as the top secret by Xiaoyu's father, and these people could not find any clues.
They're going to kill him one way or another, so there's no waiting! Lei Chen closed his eyes and fell asleep, his mind spinning at high speed.
The sound of a car engine could be faintly heard outside. Not long after, the iron door was opened, and a terrorist wearing a mask threw Darin a hamburger, but he didn't even look at the Asian boy. In their eyes, the boy is already a dead person, and a dead person does not need to waste food.
Darin kicked the hamburger aside with a look of hate.
"You haven't eaten for a day and a night. Eat it, or you won't have the strength to escape later." After the gangster left, Lei Chen opened his eyes and ordered in a low voice.
Can we really escape? Even with such doubts, Darin still picked up the hamburger, broke it in half and said, "You can eat some too."
The food wrapped in a paper bag was thrown into Lei Chen's arms, and he threw it back.
"You eat, I don't need it." He said as he tore off the cuff buttons on his shirt, gently crushed the shell, and took out a white pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What's that?" Darin asked curiously.
"A medicine that replenishes energy and relieves pain." Lei Chen swallowed the pill, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
"Wow, it's amazing!" Seeing that Lei's face looked much better, Darin let out a low voice.
"I'm sorry, I only have this one." Feeling that the sharp pain in his right foot has subsided, and a heat flowed through his body, Lei Chen raised his leg, pulled out a long and thin steel needle from the top of the shoelace, and inserted it into the shoelace. Fiddled with the keyhole of the handcuffs.
There was a slight click and the handcuffs opened. He moved his legs and feet, first lying on the steel plate to listen to the movement outside, then took off his shoes, and took out a pen-like thing from the hollow heel.
Darin was stunned, with a hamburger stuffed in his mouth and forgot to chew, his cheeks were bulging like a hamster.
"Eat your food!" Lei Chen ordered in a deep voice, but there was a faint smile in his eyes. The blond boy has a lot of expressions. If he is not making trouble for no reason, he is actually quite cute.
Darin started chewing reflexively, but his eyes stared at the Asian boy, "What is that?"
"Infrared cutter." Lei Chen squatted on the ground, pressed the switch, and a beam of red light shot out from the tip of the pen, melting the steel plate. Within two minutes, a hole the size of a coin appeared on the steel plate. Lei Chen squinted his eyes and looked out to make sure no one was there, then continued cutting. Soon, a steel plate measuring one meter in length and one meter in width was silently unloaded. On the ground, a grassy breeze pours into the gasoline-smelling warehouse.
"Are you an agent? Are you afraid that someone outside will find out your escape plan?" Darin asked stupidly.
"No, I'm a mechanic. I looked at it just now. There is no one on this side. You can only see the sky but not the ground. It must be a cliff, otherwise they would not have sent someone to guard it." Lei Chen walked up to him. Beside him, he helped him uncuff him, and asked with concern, "Can I still go?"
"I can't move." Darin tried to stand up, but failed several times. The severe pain in his feet made him sweat profusely. He pushed the Asian boy away, anxiously urging, "Hurry up, run to a safe place and call the police immediately, someone will come to rescue me."
"If they find out that I have escaped, the first thing they will do is to kill you. So I won't leave you behind." Lei Chen stroked the boy's soft blond hair and comforted him, "I'll go out and have a look, soon Just come back."
He climbed out of the cave, and found that the warehouse was really built on the edge of the cliff. The wall that was cut was facing the abyss, leaving only a half-meter-wide aisle, which could only go out by sticking to the base of the wall. There are plains all around, and there is still a long distance from the road. It looks close, but it will take several hours to walk. Running out will inevitably be exposed to the gangsters' sight, not to mention that Darin has lost the ability to move and can only be carried on his back. There was no place to hide on the plain, and even if they found it, they would not be able to hide from the noses of the two hounds.
Four big characters appeared in Lei Chen's mind - there is no escape.
He left a string of messy footprints on the edge of the cliff, tore off a piece of sleeve and hung it on a branch growing in the crevice of the rock, and then turned back to tell Darin about the situation.
"Then what should we do?" Darin asked pitifully, holding Lei's arm.
"If you can't escape, then you won't escape." Lei Chen remained calm, opened a barrel of gasoline, smeared the pungent-smelling liquid on his body, and then on Darin's underwear. After finishing, he patted his head and pointed The overhead snorkel said, "Let's go up."
"Good idea!" Darin's eyes lit up.
After covering the lid of the gasoline tank, and then opening the lid of the ventilation pipe, Lei Chen picked up Darin and let him climb up.
The Asian boy looked tall and thin, but he was actually very strong. He lifted himself up easily and sent him to a safe place. Darin, with red ears, lay on the mouth of the pipe, looking at him gratefully with wet eyes.
"Give way, I'm coming up." Lei Chen whispered, and climbed up with a light leap, quietly restoring the opening of the pipe to its original appearance.
The two leaned together, waiting for the reaction of the gangsters when they found out that they were missing.
After more than 20 minutes, a gangster came in to check the situation, and found a big hole in the steel plate, and screamed angrily. The rest immediately led the hounds to give chase. The smell of gasoline covering the warehouse covered the whereabouts of the two of them. The hound was at a loss and had to run wildly in a certain direction. The gangsters followed behind.
After everyone left, Lei Chen opened the lid and jumped off the ground, saying to Darin, "Come down, I'll follow you."
"Let's run!" Darin jumped into his arms, and because of his weakness, he could only hug his thin waist. This embrace filled with the strong smell of gasoline brought him an unprecedented sense of security.
"There are endless plains all around. Our legs are injured, and the smell of gasoline on our bodies is the best tracker as long as we leave this warehouse. The hounds will soon catch up to us." Lei Chen shook his head.
"Then what should we do?" Darin looked at the boy with trusting eyes.
"Change another place and continue to hide." Lei Chen said lightly, and helped him walk to a pile of gasoline barrels, and covered the two of them with a worn-out canvas. can be found.
The two hounds ran around without finding any clues. The gangsters felt that something was wrong, and quickly returned the same way. When they saw the open air vent, they hurriedly climbed up to check, but there was no one on it.
"Damn it, I've been fooled! Keep chasing!" The gangsters cursed and chased in the opposite direction.
"Let's continue to hide on it." Lei Chen lifted the canvas, hugged Darin to the air vent, and then climbed up himself, the cover was still open.
Darin had already been dazed by him, and after a long silence, he sighed sincerely, "You are so smart! Even if they were killed, they would never have thought that we would hide here."
Lei Chen rubbed his messy head.
Half an hour later, the gangsters who had been played like monkeys came back panting, shouting, "*! Their legs have been broken, where can they go? Let me find these two bastards. Let their blood go!"

The two sitting on top of them watched all this quietly.
"Boss, their legs are broken, will they lose their balance and fall to the bottom of the cliff?" one of his subordinates patted his head and yelled.
"Go and see!" The leader ordered quickly.
The cliff is too high, and there are lush shrubs below, so I can't see the situation clearly. The eight people found Lei Chen's footprints and cloth left on the edge of the cliff before, and were more sure of their previous guess, so they hurriedly found a bundle of ropes and hung them down. This task involves tens of billions of dollars, and there must be no loopholes. If you live, you must see people, and if you die, you must see corpses.
More than ten minutes later, the gangster brought the two hounds down to the bottom of the cliff. Lei Chen patted the blond boy on the head and told him, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon. Stay here and don't move."
He quietly slipped down the pipeline, quickly sneaked behind a terrorist guarding the edge of the cliff, raised his hand, knocked him unconscious, tied him into a meat dumpling, and cut the rope.
Darin, who was worried about chasing after him, was dumbfounded.
"Okay, we can go." Swinging the car keys found from Rou Zong, Lei Chen walked towards the SUV parked in front of the warehouse.
Are we saved? It's too easy, right? The car drove a long way before Darin came to his senses.
