Magnolia comforted her and said, "Take your time, we will definitely figure out a way. As long as we reach a place where the whole room is on fire without being affected, then it will be fine!" Annie smiled wryly, and said, "Is there such a place? Unless we have the legendary fire-avoiding beads, or, if we ask them now, we need two sets of asbestos fireproof clothing!" Magnolia smiled and said: "Eat first. After eating, rest for a while. Now you and I are too tired. Anyone who is tired will not be able to use their brains." Anne didn't make a sound anymore, just ate in silence.

After the meal, Magnolia really fell asleep on the sofa. Anne first looked at Magnolia, and then she also fell asleep because she was tired.They slept for about a few hours. Magnolia woke up first, she was still lying down, looking at the ceiling, then she stretched and took a deep breath, although there were no windows in the room, the air Magnolia inhaled was very Refreshing, that was the feeling she had when she walked into the tunnel. She once said a word at that time: "The ventilation equipment is really good!" Magnolia was just thinking casually at first, but when she thought of "ventilation equipment", her heart suddenly moved, ventilation equipment!Magnolia immediately leaned over and sat up.

In such a basement, the ventilation equipment also includes two systems, one is the air extraction system, which takes out the dirty air, and the other is the fresh air delivery system, which brings in fresh air. Magnolia raised her head, and she immediately saw it. In fact, she had already seen it, but she only paid special attention to it at this time. On the ceiling, one left and one right, there are two large air holes for filtering dust. The two large holes are each a foot high and two feet wide. It is very easy to distinguish which of them is the incoming breath and which is the outgoing breath.And two spaces of the same size can barely fit a person.

If she and Anne hid in the hole where the fresh air was introduced, then there would be a stream of fresh air flowing around them and going outside. , they can not be affected, because the air flow will bring air to them, so that the thick smoke cannot invade! Magnolia has untied one of the most difficult knots! Magnolia went to wake Annie up.Annie rubbed her eyes, and Magnolia said: "Annie, I thought of it, we can use the ventilation equipment here to escape the flames!" Annie was stunned for a while, but.She immediately understood what Mulanhua was referring to, and she said, "Sister Lanhua, you mean we can hide in the air passage?"

"Yes, we are safe there. Of course, just in case, we can make some preparations. We need to prepare a wet towel, just in case the smoke hits, and we can keep breathing. " Annie stood up excitedly, and said, "Where is the air hole? Sister Lanhua. Can I climb up?" Magnolia said: "Why are you worried about these things? I will naturally carry you up there?" Magnolia said, walking towards an air hole, she moved a chair, stood on it, stretched out her hand to explore the air hole, and then pulled down the dust filter of the air hole. She turned her head and said, "Annie, this is the place, you climb in first."

Magnolia jumped off the chair, pulled the table over, and put the chair on the table again. Then, she pulled Annie and climbed up. When she was standing on the chair, she could easily send Annie into the The air vent is gone. The wind from the ventilation tunnel was very strong, blowing Annie's hair into a mess. She propped herself up on her hands and crawled forward slowly.Magnolia jumped down again, and blocked the vent hole with a large piece of cloth, then she got on the chair again with the bottle of wine and matches.She poured two bottles of wine on a sofa and struck a match.Throw it down.

The fire was ignited immediately, and then it burned up. Magnolia quickly climbed into the air hole. In the narrow air hole, she spent a lot of time and turned around. When she turned her head to the outside, the flames were already raging, and many pieces of furniture were on fire, and thick smoke came out in puffs, because the ventilation hole was blocked, so the smoke was turning over in the house. rolling. However, within a few feet of the ventilation hole, there was no smoke at all. The smoke was blown away by the fresh air from the ventilation hole, and she could clearly see the thick smoke billowing in the room.

Annie is behind Magnolia.She could vaguely hear the sound of the burning fire, but she couldn't see the situation outside, so she asked repeatedly: "Sister Lanhua, how is it?" Magnolia replied: "The situation is very good. I think the smoke will come out from the crack of the door. They will open the door and check what's going on. Then we will have a chance!" The fire was spreading in the room, and within fifteen minutes, Magnolia couldn't see the situation in the room clearly, because everything in the room was on fire, and the smoke was as thick as a big black cloud.

At this moment, Mulan heard a burst of noisy voices and footsteps, and then the sudden voice and footsteps increased several times. Magnolia knew that the door must have been opened! She heard the sound of many people coughing violently, there was no doubt about it, as soon as the door was opened, thick smoke would naturally rush out.Then, several people were heard exclaiming. She heard someone shouting anxiously: "Mulan, what the hell are you doing?" As the man shouted, he must also be coughing violently. To Mulanhua's surprise, she also heard Zhu Ying's voice. Zhu Ying's voice was very angry. He was yelling, "Turn on all the ventilation equipment!"

Someone answered him, saying: "It's already opened, but it doesn't work, the smoke is too thick." Zhu Ying roared Lianzheng, "Then open the door!" Although Magnolia only heard the sound and could not see the situation outside, she could imagine that the thick smoke must have filled the entire corridor.So Zhu Yingcai had no choice but to order the iron gate to be opened to let the smoke out. Here's their chance! Magnolia whispered: "Annie, wrap your mouth and nose with a wet towel!" She asked Annie to wrap her mouth and nose with a wet towel, and wrapped the wet towel herself. If she was alone at this time, then things would be much simpler!

She can jump down immediately, blowing thick smoke and escaping outwards. But at this time, she had to take care of Annie. She wrapped the towel and said in a muffled voice: "Annie, hold my feet. Let me go when your upper body comes out of the vent hole, and then. You have to try your best to jump down, and I will pick you up below." Annie agreed, and Magnolia crawled out. She climbed out of the vent hole, shrank her body, and jumped down. Although the fire in the room was very intense.As soon as Magnolia jumped down, she quickly kicked away all the burning things. Annie also jumped out of the ventilation hole at this time, and jumped down. Magnolia embraced her and immediately put her on her back. At this time.The hair of the two of them was forced to "squeak" by the fire. As soon as Mulan picked up Annie, she rushed out of the door immediately. I couldn't see the situation in front of me clearly, but rushed forward according to the direction I remembered.Wet towels help them breathe, and there is no problem for a while. As soon as she rushed to the door, Mulan almost collided with a person. Magnolia's reaction was very quick. She and the person were suffocated at the same time, but Mulan shot first. Magnolia raised her palm and chopped it down on the man's head. The man's body went limp immediately, Magnolia helped him up, and immediately found a pistol at the man's waist, she pushed the man knocked unconscious forward forcefully. When she pushed the man forward, she heard someone in front scold: "Damn it, don't bump into it, okay? The leader ordered that no one is allowed to go out, only let the thick smoke disperse!" Although Magnolia has Annie behind her back.But her movements were still fast, and suddenly she rushed in front of the person who was speaking. As soon as the figure of the person emerged from the thick smoke, the handle of Magnolia's gun was aimed at the temple of the person, and suddenly hit the past. At this time, the iron door of the underground passage must have been opened, and Mulanhua could think of this in the thick smoke, because the thick smoke around her flowed forward like a tide. The direction in which the thick smoke rolled out was the corridor. Although Mulanhua's eyes were so stimulated by the thick smoke that tears flowed, she still opened her eyes wide and ran forward quickly. The corridor was not very long, and Mulan soon saw the light, and in the light, she also saw five or six people, and Mulan pulled the trigger with her fingers.Three shots were fired in a row! Those three shots were all aimed at the legs of the people at the door. Although she fired the gun quickly, the shots were accurate, and three people were shot and fell to the ground, but two or three people rushed out. Magnolia almost rushed out with them. Once outside the mound, Mulanhua saw clearly who those two or three people were.Those two or three people also saw Mulan Hua clearly, and Zhu Ying was among those three people! Only Zhu Ying roared angrily first, and the other two immediately raised their portable machine guns, but those two had no chance to fire at all, and the gunfire rang out again! There were two consecutive gunshots, and the two gunmen were all shot in their right wrists, and the portable machine guns in their hands immediately fell to the ground. Only a first-class sharpshooter can injure the enemy like that! Magnolia rushed to Zhu Ying's body immediately, and the gun in her hand was pressed against Zhu Ying's chest, forcing Zhu Ying to take a few steps back. At that time, Gao Xiang also jumped up, and behind Zhu Ying, a Putting her arms around Zhu Ying's neck, Magnolia immediately turned to Gao Xiang's side. Mulanhua and Gao Xiang just looked at each other, and didn't say much, because under such circumstances, any words would be superfluous! In the mound, more than two hundred people rushed out. But as soon as those people rushed out, seeing that Zhu Ying had been restrained, they were all stunned, and Zhu Ying also shook her hands hurriedly, saying: "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" Gao Xiang dragged Zhu Ying, backed away slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Tell them not to force you over. Zhu Ying, although your crime is not light, but you are not dead, but if you move around, it will be hard to say!" Zhu Ying hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! Don't move, don't come over!" Gao Xiang dragged Zhu Ying, Mulan took charge of Annie, and quickly retreated.It seems that they have escaped danger! None of the mafia gangsters in front of the mound dared to approach, Mulanhua breathed a sigh of relief, until then, she said: "Gao Xiang, thank you for showing up at a critical moment!" "Lan Hua," Gao Xiang said with a very excited expression, "If you hadn't rushed out first, I would have nothing to do!" "Brother Gao Xiang," Annie burst into tears with joy, "How did you find this place? You know how we got out, we set fire to it!" Gao Xiang didn't know the details of how Mulanhua and Annie escaped from danger, but they escaped because of a fire. Gao Xiangjie already knew this, because when the door of the secret passage was opened, the first thing that rushed out was billowing smoke! The three of them were talking happily, Zhu Ying, who was being held by Gao Xiang's neck, looked extremely ugly, and a strange sound came from his throat, as if he wanted to speak too. However, Gao Xiang's arms around his neck were so strong that Zhu Ying couldn't speak at all. Gao Xiang sneered and said, "If Mr. Zhu has anything to say, it won't be too late to go to the police station and say it!" The three of them retreated to the road. Not long after, a police patrol car passed by and took them back to the police station. After arriving at the police station, as soon as she entered Gao Xiang's office, Annie cheered and said, "My crutches! Quickly, hand me my crutches!" A police officer hurriedly handed Annie's pair of crutches to her. Annie took the crutches and stood up. She let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I can walk around again at last!" Mulanhua sat down on a chair, Gao Xiang sat behind his desk, and the two police officers.Watching Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying's expression at that time seemed very peaceful. Gao Xiang looked at Zhu Ying for a moment, then said: "Please sit down!" Zhu Yinglue was stunned for a moment, then took two steps and sat down on the chair. Gao Xiang said, "What else do you have to say?" Zhu Ying actually smiled and said: "There is nothing more to say. My crime will not be too serious. All evidence and documents will be destroyed after I am arrested, and I have a few capable lawyers!" Gao Xiang said coldly: "I'm afraid that no matter how competent the lawyer defending you is, it won't clear you of the charge of murdering the police, Zhu Ying. You are too calm, it's because you don't know the inside story!" Gao Xiang continued: "You rammed your car into the car that the police were following you, resulting in the death of an agent, and you sent a false witness to say that it was a car accident caused by a military vehicle!" Following Gao Xiang's words, Zhu Ying's complexion became even uglier. He clenched his fists.Muttering and cursing, he said, "You bastard, he betrayed me!" But he immediately raised his head again and said, "But you still don't have sufficient evidence!" "You wait," Gao Xiang's voice was as hard as iron, "I will have enough evidence to send you to the electric chair. What about that ancient artifact, are you still unwilling to hand it back?" Although Zhu Ying's complexion was pale, he was still smiling, which proved that he was indeed a treacherous criminal. He spread his hands and said, "This time, I really can't do anything!" Gao Xiang shouted: "What tricks are you playing?" "It's not a trick. Think about it, is that thing still here? It's already gone to Europe." Zhu Ying said, "Now, I'm afraid it's almost there!" Magnolia didn't speak until then.Her voice was very flat, she said: "Mr. Zhu, do you believe it or not? Even if you sent that thing to Antarctica, I will chase it back!" Zhu Ying stayed for a long time before saying: "I believe it, but I advise you not to try it, Miss Lanhua, in Europe, it is different from this city, I think it will be difficult for you to find any cheap ones." Magnolia immediately said tit-for-tat: "I'm not here to pick up a bargain. I'm going to get my own things back. If you think that you have spent so much to snatch the things and they are yours, then you are wrong! " Zhu Ying kept her mouth shut and said nothing more. Magnolia said again slowly: "Zhu Ying, there are two paths before you now. First, tell me what the purpose of that thing is and why you must obtain it!" Zhu Ying sat there blankly, not responding at all. Mulanhua paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Second, the police have launched a massive roundup of the Eastern branch of the Mafia under your leadership. I'm afraid no one will slip through the net!" Magnolia paused again after speaking here. Zhu Ying still didn't respond at all, just sat there blankly. Mulanhua suddenly smiled and rushed over, saying: "But I know that there is one person who can be an exception, he can slip through the net, Zhu Ying, this person is you!" As soon as Mulanhua said these words, not only Zhu Ying was shocked suddenly.Even Annie and Gao Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, not knowing what Mulanhua meant when she said that. As for Mulanhua herself, she didn't make a fool of herself, she immediately revealed the mystery of this sentence, she continued: "The police will release you, and the public reason will not be announced, but soon, all the people in the criminal organization, Everyone will know that the reason why you were not prosecuted by the police is because you have already provided the police with the information of the Eastern Branch of the Mafia!" Zhu Ying was smiling all the time, moreover, his smile was by no means fake, but an expression of confidence in his heart, as if he had a plan in mind. However, Zhu Ying never expected that Mulanhua would say such words, so the smile disappeared from his face in an instant, and he waved his hands nervously. Then, he said in a voice full of fear: "Miss Lanhua, don't...don't make such a joke!" When Mulanhua said those words, both Gao Xiang and Annie understood what Mulanhua meant, so the three of them laughed loudly together. Magnolia's way is really the best way! If the police prosecute Zhu Ying, then the mafia will hire the best lawyer for Zhu Ying to defend him. Unless the police have perfect and impeccable evidence, otherwise, it will be difficult to convict him. But if the police did not take any action against Zhu Ying at all, and as Mulanhua said, they attributed the discovery of the Eastern branch to Zhu Ying's informant, then the situation would be different! Under such circumstances, Zhu Ying became a traitor. And the mafia's method of dealing with traitors is cruel.is known to the world.Zhu Ying's status in the Mafia is already very high, he is the head of the Eastern Branch of the Mafia!Naturally, he didn't know how he would be treated after being regarded as a traitor by the headquarters, so in an instant, his smile disappeared and his hands trembled. Gao Xiang, Magnolia and Annie laughed for a whole minute! Then, Gao Xiang slapped the table and stood up. He waved to the two police officers standing behind Zhu Ying, and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhu is fine, take him out of the police station, he is a good friend of the police, don't make things difficult for him!" The two crossbowmen immediately agreed. Zhu Ying stood up, shaking his hands wildly, he opened his mouth wide, but for a while, he couldn't say a word, Gao Xiang smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhu Ying suddenly yelled, "This is too despicable!" Mulan smiled at Chun and said, "To deal with people like you, that's the only way!" Zhu Ying gasped for breath quickly, and then he said: "Okay, I surrender, but I must first say that I don't know too much about that thing!" "As far as you know." Magnolia said. "That thing is related to a city that sank on the land in Chandia Island in the second millennium BC. That city was a large city on the south coast of Chandia Island and was the center of Aegean culture at that time." Magnolia, Annie and Gao Xiang were all stunned! They had made all kinds of guesses about the use of that brick-like thing, but they never thought of it! They never imagined that that thing was actually related to a city that disappeared from the land in 2000 BC.And if the missing city can be found based on that thing... The three of them thought of this, looked at each other, and felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts, a city that sank from the land to the bottom of the sea, and that city.It was the center of Aegean culture at that time! Anyone who has read history knows that the period between 2,000 and 3,000 BC of the Aegean culture was the most developed era of human culture, during which there was almost a thousand years without any wars at all. Today’s European culture is based on ancient love. Qin culture as Jinliang. The extinction of the Aegean culture was due to the invasion of the barbarians, but historians have always suspected that there were also huge natural disasters, but no definite proof was found. But now, that ancient relic is actually related to a sunken city. That is really a big event. Naturally, what the Mafia focuses on is definitely not that the discovery of the ancient city can make the development of human culture a meaningful one. Instead of systematic research, we focus on the wealth in the ancient city that has been buried on the seabed for four thousand years. Judging from the relics related to the Aegean culture that have been unearthed successively, it can be seen that the residents of Gandia Island had already developed trade with the Egyptians at that time. And the medium of trade at that time was gold and precious stones! It is conceivable how much gold and congratulatory stones there will be in this city at the center of the Aegean culture. No wonder the mafia can make a move, which is half a million pounds! Because if the mafia finds the ancient city, the huge wealth is enough for the mafia to start a coup in a small country and build a huge mafia kingdom! Mulanhua, Gao Xiang, and Annie stayed for a long time before they all agreed to take a breath together. Zhu Ying hurriedly said, "I've already said it. This is what I know." Magnolia said: "You must know more than that."
