Chapter 87: Taking sides
But here's the thing.
How many available resources does the Bai family have left now?
As the saying goes, "It is difficult for a general to fight a battle without soldiers." Even if Gu Jikong has the skills, he still needs people and weapons, especially firearms. He only has a Burmese imitation Glock 17 and 14 rounds of ammunition on him now, and he can't even fight. But Qi Liran owns an automatic rifle.
Wang Jinkang felt frightened in his heart.
"Wan, if Qi Liran really wants to seize power, what should we do? Should we go to Chairman Bai for help, or..."
"Of course I'm looking for Dong Bai!"
Yang Chen hurriedly interrupted.
Although the second half of the sentence was not spoken, everyone understood what it meant.
If the warlords really want to seize this opportunity to seize power, they will definitely massacre the Bai family and their cronies. Employees at the bottom must take sides as soon as possible if they don't want to fall victim to this internal fight.
Manager Liu, who is in charge of electricity fraud, is a key member of the group, and Yang Chen is the former's brother. He will definitely side with the Bai family, but the employees are different. For them, it doesn't matter whoever the boss is, they are all destined to be squeezed anyway. , naturally there is no sense of belonging to the Bai family.
From the conversation just now, everyone knows that the desperadoes trained by the group are likely to defect.
Therefore, the warlord faction now possesses the strongest force in the building.
The probability of winning is significantly greater.
For a moment, some people began to retreat secretly, their eyes kept changing, as if they had different intentions.
Gu Ji had a panoramic view of all this.
Because he had a tactical target plan, he pursed his lips and pretended to cater.
"I think what Director Yang said makes sense."
"Look!" Seeing someone standing up to support him, Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction, as if he regarded Gu Ji as his brother.
Yang Dong on the side raised questions.
"Wang Xueming, according to what you just said, the warlords are now on top. How can we safely bypass them and join the Bai family?"
The joy on Yang Chen's face gradually disappeared.
As we all know, the offices of high-level companies are generally located in high-rise areas of office buildings, and Jinyuan Building is no exception. If you want to meet the Bai family, you must go up. Wouldn't this be tantamount to taking the initiative to meet the warlords' guns?
Unexpectedly, Gu Ji was very indifferent.
"The main purpose of the warlords is to purge the Bai family's cronies, so their activity areas are mainly the office area and the stairwell. We can avoid them as long as we take the elevator shaft instead."
Yang Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
This is indeed a good idea. Who would have thought that there would be people hiding in the elevator shaft, but at this height...
After struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Just do as Wang Xueming said and walk through the elevator shaft!"
After Yang Chen said this, he was already ready to leave with Gu Ji.
But the other employees seemed to be unaware and still stood there without moving at all.
He immediately scolded.
"What are you still doing? You don't know that time is running out. Why do you want to stay here and wait to die?"
"Um...Director Yang, I'm afraid of heights and can't climb the elevator shaft, so I won't go."
"Director Yang, I'm also afraid of heights!"
"I also……"
…
In an instant, three people started to find reasons to disobey Yang Chen's order. Although the remaining few people did not refuse openly, the distance between them was enough to show that they no longer wanted to follow him.
In other words, he didn't want to have anything to do with people from the Bai family faction.
"Okay, well done to you guys!"
Yang Chen didn't know what these employees were thinking, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said in a conspiratorial manner: "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Let me stress it one last time, the Bai family is the actual controller of Jinyuan Group!"
Although this sentence is very threatening.
But they still didn't change their minds. In the end, only Gu Ji, Pan Xinli, Yang Dong, and Ding Le chose to leave. The rest, including Wang Jinkang, insisted on staying here.
Finally, Yang Chen gave his personal secretary a hard look and snorted coldly.
"Walk!"
…
Five minutes later, everyone who had finished sorting began to carefully walk through the ruins of the fourth-floor public area.
The fire protection structure architectural diagram shows that the building has a total of seven high-speed elevators, two of which are in the fire stairwell on the north side, and the other four passenger elevators are exposed side by side in the public area on the south side opposite the gate. It is easy for people on the fifth floor to pass through the stands. Scan up.
Although that layer has already been cleared by Qi Liran and others, what if there is an informant left behind!
So he would rather go around in a circle and choose the Eastern District.
Yang Chen looked at the circular hole above the outer door of the elevator on the left.
"The triangular key for the elevator door lock seems to be in the security room on the first floor."
"It's a waste of time, just peel it off..."
Gu Ji took off the fire ax from his belt and slowly inserted the ax blade along the gap between the two doors. "When I pry open a finger's width, you can insert the steel pipe."
Pan Xinli on the side nodded.
The original intention of the fire ax is to clean up burning objects, break down doors and rescue people, so there is absolutely no problem with its quality and pull-off resistance.
He looked around to find the moment point and moved to the side with force.
With a heart-wrenching sound of metal friction, a gap was opened in the outer door of the elevator.
Until the door gap is wide enough to accommodate two hands.
"Everyone come and help!"
Gu Ji whispered.
Yang Dong and Ding Le immediately came forward and worked together to completely open the metal outer door of the elevator.
Perhaps due to lack of strength, Ding Le almost fell down. Looking at the pitch-black and bottomless elevator shaft, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
Gu Ji took out a strong flashlight and shined a light on it.
The entire elevator shaft is like a super-extended version of the ventilation shaft of Ryder Airport, except that it lacks the branching road. The first thing that catches the eye is the elevator box stuck on the third floor, and the finger-thick traction wire rope connecting it. Among the six, two broke due to the vibration of the building. Next to them were two black and thick rectangular metal rods, which were the elevator car guide rails and the counterweight guide rails.
It is surrounded by exposed cement load-bearing walls. It is precisely because of its protection that damage to the metal frame of the internal elevator is avoided.
"Where do we climb from?"
Yang Chen scanned around and saw no ladder that could be climbed.
Gu Gu pointed at the black car guide rail.
His eyes immediately widened.
"How do you climb this? Are you sure this thing can bear the weight of five of us at the same time?"
"Don't worry, the main rail of the elevator not only has to withstand the impact of the car and the elevator when braking, but also the impact of the safety gear when emergency braking. It is extremely rigid and reliable, and can withstand our climbing. weight."
Take into account that you have previously learned the emergency handling skills of special equipment in the research system.
The so-called special equipment refers to facilities that involve life safety and are highly dangerous, such as boilers, elevators, hoisting machinery, amusement park facilities, etc., so he naturally has a very clear understanding of the structural devices in the elevator.
If you just say it with your mouth, a few people may not believe it.
So he took off his fire backpack and took out five escape safety belts.
After putting on the safety escape belt first, which is similar to a fire-fighting waist knot, its main function is to disperse the weight of the body and protect safety, he then grabbed the wire rope with his left hand, shook it for a moment to make sure it was stable, and then stretched out his right hand to grab it. Guide rail, wrap your feet around the rail in a scissor shape, open the escape safety belt buckle, tie it to it, and lock it.
In this way, when the legs are fixed, the escape safety belt can be used instead of the arms to exert force, which can effectively alleviate the loss of force.
Then he started climbing up like a monkey climbing a tree.
Ding Le regretted following him.
"Does this really prevent you from accidentally falling..."
"That's better than being killed."
Pan Xinli grinned, showing her black teeth. It was hard to tell whether she was laughing or crying. She grabbed the safety belt on the ground, followed suit, and climbed up second.
Followed by Yang Dong.
Ding Le and Yang Chen were left standing at the door of the elevator. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally took a deep breath and followed them into the elevator shaft.
A group of five people strung together on the guide rail looked like candied haws.
"Huh... use more leg strength, body friction, and belts to distribute the burden on your arms, otherwise you will lose strength in a while!"
Taking care of breathing calmly, he didn't forget to turn around and point out the people under him. Although he had a lot of supplies on his body, including a firefighting backpack, a firefighting ax and a pistol, he actually didn't notice. No matter how tired I was, I was still able to do it with ease.
The main reason is that his physical fitness is excellent, and he did a lot of pole climbing training during college.
"Huh...how much further do we have to climb? I can't hold on any longer!"
Yang Chen was out of breath.
Having been sitting in an office all year round, his body has already entered a sub-healthy state. How could he withstand such training? If it weren't for the survival belt to assist him in resting, he would have probably fallen down long ago.
"Come on, there are still 8 meters to go."
Taking into account the speed of climbing to the 10th floor, he unbuckled his seat belt, grabbed the wire rope, put his foot on the edge of the elevator door to use force, reached for the mechanical zipper at the top, and pushed hard to push the elevator door open.
And the moment he entered the tenth floor.
The system prompt sounds on time!
555, the equipment will arrive tomorrow, brothers, and I currently owe 6.1W words.
