Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

Chapter 54 54 Hostage

"Xiao Zixian! It's been a long time. Why are you here?" Zhou Yubin responded enthusiastically, but his spirit tensed up unconsciously. It wasn't the Xiao Zixian he was familiar with.

His eyes shifted from Zhou Yubin to Wei Lan who was lying on the ground. The indifferent expression on Xiao Zixian's face seemed to freeze a person, "He is really here with you." Just as he was about to take a step, he was stopped by a harsh reprimand .

"Don't move! Just stand over there and talk." The strong sense of disobedience in his heart made Zhou Yubin instinctively refuse Xiao Zixian's approach.Pulling up Wei Lan who was on the ground and throwing it on the sofa, holding the scalpel to his throat, Zhou Yubin carefully watched Xiao Zixian's every move, "Let me tell you why you are still alive first? I heard that you are already dead."

Turning a blind eye to Wei Lan's situation, Xiao Zixian just casually loosened the scarf around his neck, "It's not that he's dead, he's almost dead. The rest is just an excuse." His sharp eyes seemed to pierce people's hearts, and he read I understand Zhou Yubin's panic, panic comes from guard, guard comes from distrust, "You are still the same, you don't trust anyone."

"It's really impossible to be trusted. Why did you suddenly appear here? How did you know that I would come here? It's too suspicious." Something is wrong, the inexplicable sense of alienation is completely different from the feeling when we got along before, Zhou Yubin found himself very afraid of Xiao Zixian now.

This is a partner who will never betray him. They have been speculative since they met in middle school. They are in the same school in high school. They are also only children and they are almost inseparable. start?Where to start going against the grain.

"You are still with the police, right? Is the double undercover game very interesting? I don't understand why you want to stop me. Now CK Pharmaceutical also has your hard work. Are you really going to see it collapse?" Zhou Yubin pulled excitedly Watching Wei Lan demonstrate to Xiao Zixian, "Don't tell me it's for him, even if you save him, it's useless. The parts in this guy's stomach should be rotten, right? You should know better than me, after all, the injection It was still injected by you yourself."

"Trust is mutual. When you did not truthfully tell me the reason for the reconstruction of the factory, this ending has become inevitable."

"Huh? Tell you the reason? I'm afraid I was caught by you eight years ago. Since you came today, it's too impolite to let you go back empty-handed." Arms tightened around Wei Lan's neck, and Zhou Yubin pulled Wei Lan maliciously. The hem of Gao Weilan's clothes showed the wounds and bruises on the wheat-colored skin in front of Xiao Zixian, poking those wounds with his fingertips provocatively, eliciting bursts of uncontrollable pain, "Otherwise, we How about vivisectioning this guy together? See how those beautiful internal organs go from birth to death, and finally turn into a puddle of stinking water."

He did not answer Zhou Yubin's question, as if to relieve the other party's tension, Xiao Zixian's expression still did not show the slightest fluctuation, he casually pulled a chair to one side and sat down, leisurely stated his purpose, "We will How about a deal?"

"What deal?"

"The support troops will arrive here soon, and there is still time to escape. If you want to escape, hand him over to me. If you hurt him, you will die here too." Xiao Zixian clapped his palms lightly and kept Xu Xin, who was waiting outside the door, came in with a file bag.

Xiao Zixian took the file bag and dumped the contents on the ground, "Here are the car keys and some drugs. The car is parked outside the gate. You only have 15 minutes to make a decision."

"I can't trust you, I want to take him with me."

Xiao Zixian took off his glasses, pinched the corner of the scarf to wipe off the moisture on the lens, "I can't trust you either, it seems that the negotiation failed." His flat voice was like a judge reading out the trial, without emotional ups and downs, blunt and rigid , "Xu Xin, where are Yin Hang and the others?"

Glancing at the location sign on the phone, Xu Xin replied, "We've arrived at the North Outer Ring Road. When we exit the North Outer Ring Road, we'll be on the National Highway. There are no traffic lights. We'll be there soon."

"I agree to the deal, but at least before I get in the car, I need this hostage." Zhou Yubin is not afraid that the car will be tampered with, agreeing to the deal is just a cover, he just needs to get rid of the two people in front of him, in order to get out of their sight, Just find a place to abandon the car, and now only he knows the way to escape here.

Xiao Zixian watched Wei Lan silently. He couldn't rashly agree to Zhou Yubin's request. The risk was too great. No one could guarantee that Zhou Yubin would kill the hostage who was unable to resist the moment he got into the car.

His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes behind the lens were staring deeply at the person lying on the table. When he saw Wei Lan quietly twisting his body in search of a point of strength, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, so he reluctantly agreed to Zhou Yubin. "Okay, you can take him with you until you get in the car, but I also have a condition, all of this must be under my supervision, and I can keep a safe distance of five meters from you, do you agree?"

"make a deal."

There is only one chance, and only a moment!The moment Zhou Yubin agreed to the deal, and had to temporarily withdraw the scalpel from his throat in order to pull himself up, Wei Lan suddenly curled up his legs, grabbed the edge of the table with his hands tied behind his back, and kicked hard at the table with all his strength. Zhou Yubin.

This kick made Zhou Yubin roll on the ground several times. Wei Lan turned around, slid off the table nimbly, jumped to Xiao Zixian's side like a zombie, and stood there blankly staring at the man sitting in front of him. .

Beat after beat, the heart gradually changed from a numb calm to a violent beating.Until this moment, feeling the other person's temperature and hearing the other person's breathing clearly, Wei Lan still couldn't believe that what he saw before his eyes was real. If it wasn't for the painful wound on his stomach, he really thought he had experienced a pre-death hallucination.

Is he... really alive?

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the arm, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the empty hall.Oops, it turned out to be a gunshot. When I was in the factory area, I vaguely felt like I heard a gunshot. Before I could distinguish it, I was assassinated by an electric shock rod. The bullet grazed the skin.

The unexpected situation before him also made Xiao Zixian secretly startled. He didn't expect Zhou Yubin to hide a gun. What's worse, he was confiscated with a gun because of his 'death'. Xu Xin was only a forensic doctor in name, let alone With guns assigned, the originally reversed situation fell into a stalemate again.What's more unfavorable is that Xu Xin, who was about to step forward to restrain Zhou Yubin, unfortunately became a new hostage because of the closest distance. At this moment, Zhou Yubin pointed a gun at his head.

"Wei Lan, come here." Zhou Yubin stared at Xu Xin, the gun still pointed directly at Xu Xin's forehead, and ordered Wei Lan, who fled to a safe distance, "A person with free hands and feet is not suitable to be a hostage. I'll blow his head off, and you just get back obediently."

Xiao Zixian's hand, which was about to help Wei Lan untie the rope, couldn't help but stop there, considering the weight of the chips.If Xu Xin were to be given up, he would be sure to grab Zhou Yubin with his bare hands and grab the gun, but the price would be too high, and Wei Lan would definitely not be able to accept this practice of sacrificing his teammates.What if we continue to let Wei Lan be a hostage instead?

No!Absolutely not!This possibility need not be considered at all.

Bang.

The gunfire was deafening, blood splashed all over his face, and the situation changed so quickly that no one could react to what happened.

It was not Xu Xin who was pointed at by the gun that fell down, but Zhou Yubin!Until the lifeless body fell to the ground, the pair of round eyes still refused to close, staring straight at the inconspicuous corner beside the dark red veil, that person who could never appear, the expression of fear and shock was forever frozen in front of him. stiff face.

The person standing by the veil was covered in blood, and a deep wound on his neck had turned dark red, and no more blood came out.Wei Lan couldn't believe her eyes, and ran towards the man while dragging the rope that hadn't been completely untied, holding the man's thin shoulders tightly with both hands, for fear of disappearing from sight again, "Xiao...Xiaowei! You still alive?"

Compared with the obvious joy on Wei Lan's face, Lu Wei's expression was much more dignified. He opened his mouth, hesitating and not knowing where to start, "I don't know if I'm still alive."

"What do you mean?" Wei Lan pulled Lu Wei up and down, and felt that this person was indeed standing in front of him.

Pulling away the excited Wei Lan, Xiao Zixian helped Lu Wei to the sofa and sat down. He groped around the arteries in his neck and wrists with his fingers, and then opened the other's eyelids to check, "There is no pulse, and the pupils are halfway dilated. Stopped, it is indeed a state of death."

"How is this possible?" Unable to accept such a fact in her heart, Wei Lan stretched out her hands in a panic, warming Lu Wei's cold cheeks with the warmth of her palms.No, it's not like that, it's only because it's been frozen outside for too long that it's so cold, it must not be because of death or something, he is obviously... sitting right in front of him.

"Hey!" Xu Xin let out a soft cry, pushing Wei Lan away as if he had discovered something interesting, staring at the wound on Lu Wei's neck, "Hey! Interesting, you see, the wound is slowly healing automatically. "

After being reminded by Xu Xin, Wei Lan also noticed something unusual. The tissues in the wound were sticking together very slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The eversioned skin and flesh of the wound gradually retracted, and the opening became shorter and shorter. Little by little, it completely healed under Wei Lan's shocked eyes, leaving only a faint red mark.

"Oh? What's going on?" Wei Lan exclaimed.

It's a pity that no one can answer Wei Lan's question, and even Lu Wei himself doesn't understand what happened.He only remembered that when he woke up, he was lying in a forest. He couldn't feel the cold, and he couldn't feel whether the dry fallen leaves under his palms had stung his palms. He was horrified to find that he couldn't feel anything. , I can't even feel my breathing and heartbeat!

Is this death?But the body can still move, although it is a little stiff and slow.Lu Wei stretched out his hand in front of his eyes in a daze, bending his fingers with difficulty, repeatedly, as if... more and more flexible?The sense of touch is also gradually returning, at least one can feel that fallen leaves can be crushed.

where is this place?Somewhat familiar, as if I have been here before, it was a hasty escape, passing through the dark and long underground tunnel, and the moment I finally saw the sun again, the scenery in front of me was very similar to the current one, except that the plants were much more luxuriant.

Visual memory is a gift, just as he is good at spotting the characteristics of the surrounding environment and distinguishing memories.When standing facing south, there are three trees on the left side of the first row and four trees on the right.

This place is very close to the exit of the secret road. Lu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. When he escaped with Zhou Yubin, he didn't pay attention to the direction at all, and failed to recognize the orientation relationship between the entire forest and the road. Fortunately, he knew that the exit of the secret road is Well, there is no fork in the road, as long as you walk all the way back, you can return to the villa just now. This is a secret that only you and Zhou Yubin know.

"Oops!" Lu Wei woke up from the memory, as if suddenly remembering something very important, he rushed to Zhou Yubin's corpse, and found a very simple remote control in the corpse's pocket. The jumping scarlet numbers are displayed, "Run away! Hurry up and stop the support team from approaching, this place is about to explode!"
