Chapter 118
Shen Manzhi waited until the patrol downstairs was out of sight before moving carefully. He climbed the protruding balcony design with his hands to reach the second window, and jumped in through the open ventilation window.
There was an emergency light in the bathroom. She squatted down and turned off the headset. She recalled the third-floor floor plan that Qingque had passed to her. When she went out, turn left to the archives room, turn right to the staff office, and then to the left was Area B. There was a solid wall in the middle. The two areas are separated, and the corridor to Area B is on the opposite side and requires passing through the infrared alarm line.
So it’s best to go back the way you came.
She took out a pair of black cotton gloves from her pocket, lowered her head and adjusted the electronic watch, counting down to 15 minutes. The next shift was in 10 minutes, and she had to leave the building before then.
The archive room was closed, and thick black blackout curtains shrouded the entire room in an indescribable sense of dullness and depression.
There is a monitor in each of the two pairs of top corners of the room. However, as early as Shen Manzhi climbed the floor, he was remotely controlled by Qingque. After changing the program, it was displayed to the people in the monitoring room in the form of a loop.
So her appearance will not attract attention in a short period of time.
Cabinets occupying two-thirds of the floor are arranged neatly and orderly on one side of the wall. Countless files are neatly listed according to year and date. Two top-level desktop computers are placed in the middle. Next to them are piles of unused files. Entered project data.
Shen Manzhi locked the date two years ago and searched along a row of cabinets.
All electronic data files for the anti-mutant serum project of the biomedical institution under Qin Xianhe's name, which cooperated with foreign laboratories, were destroyed, and it was impossible to archive them, so they could only be paper files.
It is obviously impossible for Qin Xianhe to transfer it. First, if this cooperative project is found out by the superiors, he can completely shift the responsibility to the manager of the research institution, apologize in a good manner, say that his management is not strict, and fine the institute. He could agree to it, but instead he transferred the file back home, only to find that there was no 300 taels of silver in this place;
Second, since the loss of the "serum" samples in this project has never ended, he didn't want to lose both money and business at the same time, so he always wanted to recover the samples. Even if he knew that the serum had been injected into the human body, he still wanted to recapture it. It is useful to keep files for unfinished experiments on the human body. Besides, even if the superiors pursue this project, they can get away with it by relying on a failed transaction.
Shen Manzhi's hand stopped on a label with the date "" and pulled out the file. The black words "Internation project" in English were printed on it.
Unlike other file covers, project nicknames or bilingual labels in Chinese and English will be directly indicated.
She thought for two seconds, then touched the thin blade in her pocket, opened it along the sealing paper, pulled open the coil, and took out the yellowed paper on the edge. It was not well preserved and had even been handled repeatedly in the first period of time.
She didn't even need to flip through them all. The first page said A-level confidential cooperation project, and the column said "anti-mutation serum sample".
I can't find anything wrong with it because it doesn't reveal the results of failed experiments on live specimens abroad, otherwise it would never be in such a position.
Shen Manzhi sealed the coil at will and looked at the time. Eight minutes had passed.
There was still plenty of time, so she walked to the computer.
It is impossible for Qin Xianhe to win over upper-level leaders to plead for mercy just to cover up this project. Over the years, his subordinates must have other shady things.
Cracking computer passwords without leaving any traces is what she is best at, but this is somewhat punishable, but...
Where is it?
I won't offend others unless they offend me. She was "hunted" by several people, so she had to make them panic.
Densely packed files marked with letters of importance and arranged by date appeared in front of the computer screen in an instant. She quickly filtered out sixteen files based on the dates and project names given by Qingque before.
Shen Manzhi took off his backpack and took out the USB flash drive and started to copy it. The file memory was large and there were 4 minutes left before the copy was completed.
After putting everything in the archives in its place, she only took away the "" file. Before leaving the archives, she tapped the headset to call back Qingque's message, but there was no reply.
She chose to retrace her steps.
Climbing to Room 307 in Area B, Shen Manzhi held the window edge with one hand and landed softly.
The laboratory was not soundproofed, so in the silence she heard the sound of movement outside the room, which was very light and urgent.
In less than ten seconds, the person can unlock the door with their fingerprint.
Shen Manzhi frowned. At the critical moment, he hid behind a sealed cabinet next to him that could only accommodate half a person. He pulled the stacked thick curtains to block his body, and gently pushed the window open.
At the same moment, the door to the room opened and the lights turned on.
Nie Xiaoli came in wearing a down jacket and sneakers, put on shoe covers at the door, and muttered, "I'm so sleepy. If I had known I wouldn't have to work overtime at night to test samples, I couldn't be bothered to wait so long..."
As she spoke, she walked to the shelves where various instruments were placed, stood in front of a tube furnace, yawned, then counted the time, and waited for one minute before taking out the sample.
Then turn off the running machines, save the samples, and prepare to leave.
If he waits for another 2 minutes, Shen Manzhi will just catch up with the security shift change, and after the shift, someone will check the archives room.
Although she left no traces, there are hidden dangers after all. For example, if the people in the monitoring room are more careful, they will find that the surveillance screen in the archives is a video that plays in a loop.
Just as she was waiting for the woman to leave and recalling the details, the man walked over.
"Why isn't the window closed tightly?"
Nie Xiaoli closed the window, not locking it as usual, and pulled the curtain next to her with one hand. Shen Man knew there was no way to avoid it, so when the woman screamed, she quickly covered her mouth and pressed her against the window sill.
Nie Xiaoli is a researcher who conducts experiments dutifully. She has never experienced such a terrifying moment.
The person in front of me was wearing special protective glasses and a black mask. He looked like a burglary criminal. He was so frightened that his swollen eyes widened and he hesitated and made a cry for help.
"Uuuuuuu..."
Shen Manzhi clicked his tongue impatiently, thinking that if she behaved like this, other gangsters would immediately punish her on the index and middle fingers of her left hand came together, her thumb was slightly bent, and she pointed at her head and nodded. Nie Xiaoli became calmer, but her eyes were already filled with tears.
The countdown is over and the security shift changes.
It was impossible for her to return along the original route, because people going to the archives room in Area A on the third floor would pass by the way she came.
Shen Manzhi took out the razor blade in his pocket and cut it open, put it against Nie Xiaoli's throat, and said in a cruel tone, "If you dare to make a sound, I will slit it."
The person in front of her was a woman, Nie Xiaoli could tell from the first sight.
She is tall and tall, and her black suit can slightly outline her slender waist and erect figure in front of her body. A part of her hair that is not completely hidden is exposed behind the cold hat.
Nie Xiaoli wanted to nod, but was afraid that the blade would penetrate her skin, so she had to tighten her lips to show her obedience.
Shen Manzhi took off half of his bag and found a large circle of tape. Looking at Nie Xiaoli's reluctant expression, she did not hesitate to tear open the woman's lips and tie the woman's hands with thin ropes.
Much easier.
After sealing her mouth, Shen Manzhi stopped caring about her. He turned off the light first, then returned to the window and picked through the bag, as if it was a treasure chest and she could dig out anything.
Night vision goggles are used to their full potential.
Of course Nie Xiaoli knew that it was important to save her life. She resisted at first because she felt that the other party was a woman and had no strength, and she was too scared. Now it seems that this person is obviously a habitual offender!
"Recidivist" Shen Manzhi took out a power rope, which was more than ten meters long. It could be lifted from the third floor to the second floor. The rope hook was relatively small and the load-bearing capacity was not large.
But it's more than enough for her.
This torment only lasted a minute. The patrol downstairs walked with strong steps and she was very focused after waking up. It was not too difficult for her to leave the research institute in front of these people.
After all, they are just ordinary security guards.
After passing an array of patrols, Shen Manzhi sat Nie Xiaoli down on the ground and dodged the searchlights that were sweeping over her.
Nie Xiaoli was also paying attention to her.
After everything calmed down, Nie Xiaoli watched helplessly as the man tied one side of the power rope to his waist, hooked the other side to the window edge, jumped over the window sill in an extremely easy way, and began to slide down.
It’s too thrilling!
Before Nie Xiaoli had time to react, she heard footsteps approaching. They must have been the person doing the inspection.
Her hands were tied, and it was obviously difficult to sit up, so she leaned forward and knocked the nearest glass instrument to the ground. The sound of shattering attracted people passing by in the corridor.
"Um..."
The lights turned on, and the inspector was shocked to see the two windows that opened to embrace the cold night, as well as the researcher who fell to the ground.
Carefully tearing off the tape around Nie Xiaoli's mouth, goosebumps appeared on her skin as she spoke tremblingly, "Dr. Nie, how are you..."
"There are thieves!"
The moment her mouth was freed, Nie Xiaoli felt alive. She bent down and sat on the ground, pointing to the window, "She ran away from here..."
At this point, the hunt begins.
The sling on Shen Manzhi's body was finished when she reached the second floor. She took out the dagger on her waist and quickly cut it off, then kicked off her legs and jumped down. When she landed, she rolled forward a few times to delay the impact.
She stood up and propped up her knees, which were a little weak, but before she could pause, she looked up and saw that the room on the third floor was lit up again, with half a figure leaning out of the window sill looking down.
Shen Manzhi curled his lips in the night, threw the "treasure box" on his back, rolled into the grass at extremely fast speed, climbed over the iron fence, and left the courtyard.
An angry roar came from behind, and he picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand, "Attention Ximen, someone is escaping to the southwest of the research institute, chase him immediately! The rest of the staff will return to their posts immediately!"
Searchlights began to search everywhere. Even though she was as light as a swallow and walked like a ghost at night, she would inevitably be caught in the searchlight. Behind her were security guards who were chasing after her. Vehicles from the institute started to arrive again.
Shen Manzhi accelerated his feet and climbed up to the iron fence with help, and jumped down. The moment his clothes were lifted up, his skin was caught by the randomly tied wires, but his body had already jumped over the iron fence, and a shocking blood mark was drawn along the skin of his waist. It hurts, but it's not pretty.
She was distracted for a second, but kept moving. The simply made "bridge" was only for one person to pass, which bought her a moment of space.
After unlocking the car and getting into the car, the Hummer, which had been sleeping for a long time, roared out and flicked its tail cleanly, spraying exhaust fumes in the faces of the people chasing after it.
Shen Manzhi looked through the rearview mirror and saw several cars chasing from the research institute not far away, and even whistled happily.
Sorry, sorry, I fell asleep while coding last night...
