The room was an all-metal enclosed space with no windows, only a few tiny ventilation ducts. The only thing in the room was a hard metal bed frame covered with a blanket.
As for the three meals a day, they are delivered by designated personnel.
However, for several days in a row, no one spoke a word to Shi Gaofei, and even the food delivery people were not allowed to have any verbal contact with him.
Shi Gaofei knew that this was a psychological offensive, deliberately isolating himself to create a sense of loneliness and intensify his irritability, in an attempt to open a gap in his heart.
However, as a brilliant scientific fanatic, Shi Gaofei possessed exceptional patience. Let alone this level of solitary confinement, it was common for him to lock himself in the lab for ten days to two weeks at a time for a particular research project. His ability to endure such loneliness was abnormally strong.
He sat there, calm and collected. He knew very well that a circular surveillance camera in the corner was monitoring him all the time, transmitting every detail of his daily life and activities to the surveillance personnel.
He sat there, head bowed, seemingly deep in thought, but in reality, he was muttering to himself, as if silently reciting something. His voice was very soft; only when you got close could you hear it clearly. He was actually reciting the periodic table and pi. He had already recited pi to hundreds of decimal places, while Shi Gaofei looked relaxed and composed.
Finally, the door opened silently.
Hearing footsteps, Shi Gaofei raised his head, his gaze calmly falling on the face of the person standing in front of him.
"I knew it. You would be the first person to come see me after I was locked up."
Shi Gaofei's tone still carried that old confidence, even arrogance.
Lei Hu stood in the doorway, a hint of worry on his pale, handsome face. He then stepped inside, and the door behind him immediately and slowly closed automatically.
Looking at the smile on Shi Gaofei's lips, Lei Hu sighed, "At a time like this, you can still smile?"
Why not?
"There's a rumor in the committee that you're guilty of treason! You know better than I how serious the crime of betraying the organization is!" Lei Hu's face was grim. His voice carried a hint of reproach: "Old madman! I told you long ago! If you're going to investigate, be careful! And... why didn't you tell me beforehand! If I had covered for you, you might not have been discovered!"
Shi Gaofei pursed his lips and glanced at Lei Hu: "The reason I'm not telling you is simple... I don't trust you, and I don't trust anyone on the committee!"
Lei Hu remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Robben has run away." After a while, Lei Hu said this.
Shi Gaofei paused for a moment, then looked up at Lei Hu, a hint of relief finally flashing in his eyes: "Thank you for telling me this news."
“Servant… is dead. He committed suicide,” Lei Hu said calmly, looking into Shi Gaofei’s eyes.
“…Hmm.” Shi Gaofei remained calm and simply nodded. “I understand.”
"The research department has been taken over. All experiments and research projects have been suspended." Lei Hu sighed. "You were in charge of several very important projects recently, and this sudden halt will result in losses of at least tens of billions. Moreover, I heard that the club is also conducting similar research. If we fall behind, the future impact will be incalculable."
Shi Gaofei sneered, his voice mocking: "Internal strife always comes at a price."
He paused for a moment, then gave Lei Hu a strange look: "You came to see me and said these things to me. Aren't you afraid that if someone sees you, it will have a bad impact on you?"
As he spoke, he pursed his lips and gestured with his eyes to the surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling.
"It's nothing." Lei Hu shook his head: "The guy in charge of surveillance today is one of my men."
"Oh." Shi Gaofei remained unmoved.
Lei Hu suddenly became enraged. He stepped forward, grabbed Shi Gaofei by the collar, lifted him up, and roared, "You old madman! Don't be so calm! Do you know? There's word in the committee that they want to execute you!! Do you understand?! Execution!! You'll die!!"
Shi Gaofei still sneered: "There will always be someone who bleeds. I'm not the first, nor will I be the last. It's just a pity that I won't be able to see what the service society will look like in the future. I'm really curious to see what the service society will become if the committee keeps fighting like this. Hmph... It's a pity I won't be able to see it."
Lei Hu's expression changed. He suddenly took a step forward, then took out something that looked like a USB flash drive from his pocket. With a gentle press, a blue light appeared on it.
The light gently brushed against Shi Gaofei's wrist, and with a hissing sound, it was as if a circle of blue light on Shi Gaofei's wrist had been severed.
"I've unlocked the electronic lock for you." Lei Hu stood up, his face grave. "No matter what, you can't die! At least not now! And you can't die here!"
As Lei Hu spoke, he quickly shoved the miniature device in his hand into Shi Gaofei's: "I know they implanted a monitoring chip in your body. Take this; it can interfere with the chip's tracking signal for 24 hours! I believe that with your abilities, you can naturally remove the chip in that much time!"
Shi Gaofei was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when Lei Hu waved his hand and shouted sharply, "Stop talking nonsense! Don't waste time!"
He gritted his teeth, his handsome face contorted with rage: "I came in to see you, and all the records will be destroyed! Nobody will notice! The guy in charge of surveillance today is my man! Nobody knows that! The equipment will malfunction a little in a bit, and I've already got the patrol route. The thing you have in your hand contains a safe route; just follow it to avoid the patrol! Then a car will pick you up outside Gate 4! There's a boat by the sea… You must leave within three hours! After three hours, the system errors will be corrected. That's when they'll realize you've escaped!"
Shi Gaofei was shocked. He looked up abruptly and stared at Lei Hu: "You?! Why did you do this?!"
Lei Hu gave Shi Gaofei a deep look: "You don't believe me, but I believe you! Shi Gaofei, you old madman, I believe you. Even if everyone on the committee betrays us, you will never betray the organization!"
He gave a bitter smile: "I know you've made a death wish, but I must remind you, you need to understand your worth! You are Shi Gaofei! You possess immense value! Rather than dying silently here, you should go out and do something!! Make an effort! Even if you die in the future, it's still much better than dying now! Do you understand?"
Shi Gaofei stopped struggling, instead lowered his head and quickly thought for a moment before looking up at Lei Hu: "You might not be able to escape suspicion! What if they find out that you were the one who let me go..."
"I certainly have a way!" Lei Hu shook his head. "Don't you trust my abilities? Hurry up and leave! Time waits for no one! I've done what I could. If you don't leave, there's nothing I can do! The choice is yours!"
After saying that, Lei Hu abandoned Shi Gaofei, turned around, and strode out of the room.
Shi Gaofei sat there, deep in thought for about three minutes. A glint of light flashed in his eyes. He then squeezed the USB-like object in his hand, and with a hiss, a beam of light shot out. The light was projected onto the wall, and a route map appeared instantly.
Shi Gaofei glanced at the map a few times, memorized the route, and finally stood up, staggering as he walked out.
The route map provided by Thunderfox was very accurate. As expected, Shi Gaofei did not encounter any patrol personnel along the way. However, due to the interference with the system, some internal defense monitoring and weapon systems were in chaos.
Shi Gaofei encountered no obstacles on his way out.
After arriving at Exit 4, I used the electronic key to open the passageway door. Immediately, I saw a figure waiting outside, beside a dark hillside.
"you?"
Shi Gaofei was stunned.
The person standing at the door to greet him was none other than the former "Black Seven," who had been stripped of her status in the field team, and also the woman named "Suo Suo," who hated Chen Xiao to the core.
Suo Suo stood there, and when she saw Shi Gaofei come out, her expression hardened, and she almost rushed forward. She picked Shi Gaofei up and carried him on her shoulder.
