Chapter 2700

Although Anna was cooking in the kitchen, she still heard some of Sokov's phone calls in the study.

When the two of them were sitting in the kitchen eating, Anna asked tentatively: "Misha, I just thought I heard you talking on the phone."

"Well, it's Officer Victoria downstairs," Sokov replied.

Hearing that the person who called Sokov was a police officer, Anna immediately thought of Khabarov: "Misha, is there any news about Khabarov and the others?"

"No." Sokov shook his head, repeated to Anna what Victoria said on the phone, and finally said thoughtfully: "Anna, do you think the disappearance of Khabarov and the others was caused by Who was fascinated and locked up in a dark basement?"

"I think it's possible." Unexpectedly, Anna agreed with Sokov's statement and continued: "I remember that there was a TV series seven or eight years ago. After a group of young people were stunned, they waited until When they woke up, they found that they were in a closed room. It was said that they had to complete some tasks before they could leave the room. "

When Sokov heard this, he immediately became interested and asked quickly: "Do you still remember the name of that drama?"

Anna frowned and thought for a while, then said in an uncertain tone: "I don't really like watching TV series with this theme, so I didn't watch it until I finished one episode. If I remember correctly, what should it be called "Survival" game"."

After hearing what Anna said, Sokov immediately wanted to go to the study and search for this drama on the computer.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he was pulled by Anna: "Misha, don't worry, let's finish the meal first."

"Okay." Sokov sat down obediently and continued eating: "I'll look for this show after I finish eating."

After finishing dinner, Sokov went into the study and started searching for the Russian drama Anna mentioned.

It didn't take long for Sokov to search for the drama "Survival Game". He was quite excited at first, but after reading the introduction, his heart suddenly felt cold.

The drama "Survival Game" tells the story of a mysterious program group who recruits 16 players to participate in a wilderness survival game competing for 1 million euros. The program team took the contestants to the uninhabited land of Siberia, but the program crew mysteriously disappeared on the second day of filming. The contestants were forced to rescue themselves. During the period, they encountered various dangers and challenges, including powerful bandits and terrifying cannibal villages. , zombies in the ruins, and the military and other forces conducting virus experiments.

In the Russian drama Anna was talking about, men and women were imprisoned in a basement isolated from the outside, somewhat similar to an escape room style.

Although he was already sure that this show was not what he was looking for, he still called Anna in, clicked on the show, and played it for her: "Anna, look, is this what you just said in the kitchen?" That drama?"

Anna only glanced at it for a few times, then shook her head and said: "Misha, no. As I said, a group of young people fainted on the street at the beginning. When they woke up, they found themselves locked up with In a basement isolated from the outside world, they must complete the tasks set by the mysterious person before they can leave that room, and this is obviously not the case. "

"Oh, maybe I made a mistake." Sokov entered a few keywords in the search bar and continued to search. However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the drama Anna mentioned. He didn't want to waste it. Time, decisively chose to give up: "Forget it, I can't find it, I won't look for it anymore."

Anna sat next to Sokov and asked cautiously: "Misha, do you also think that the disappearance of Baharov and the others was caused by someone?"

"That's right." Sokov nodded and said: "Anyway, there are 12 of them. Although I don't know what the ratio of men to women is, but so many people disappeared suddenly. If no one is doing something wrong, it is It’s unjustifiable.”

"Who could it be?"

"I don't know." Sokov answered simply: "I heard the police officer say that many years ago, the underground parking lot of the hospital was controlled by a group of evil elements, and they often held bloody rituals there. Later, the police got the news After that, they went to encircle and suppress them. Naturally, those people were unwilling to sit still and exchange fire with the police. During the battle, the grenades thrown by the police caused the floor to collapse and blocked the exit of the underground parking lot. Those evil elements died inside. ”

But after Anna listened, she put forward a different view: "Misha, even if the exit of the underground parking lot was blocked by the collapsed floor, not all the people inside were dead. Maybe they escaped through other exits. , or there is their secret base inside, where they hide and rely on the massive amounts of food and water stored to continue to survive.”

"This is impossible." Sokov said in a positive tone: "If only the exit of the underground parking lot was blocked by the collapsed floor, there is indeed a possibility for the people inside to survive. But now it has been flooded with people. Submerged in underground water, I don’t think anyone can live in the water for that long.”

"Is it true?" Anna asked in surprise: "Is the underground parking lot really flooded?"

"Of course." Sokov continued: "Our initial guess was that Khabarov and others might have gone to the underground parking lot. But when I saw that the exit of the underground parking lot was soaked in water, I realized that they had no idea what they were doing. There was no way to get in there. In order to find their whereabouts, we entered the hospital building and found a staircase leading to the underground parking lot. Most of the stairs were submerged, and there was no way there was anyone underneath. "

Seeing that her guesses were overturned one by one, Anna frowned even more tightly: "Are Baharov and the others no longer in Hoflin Hospital at the moment?"

"I think this possibility is very high." Sokov said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that an ordinary adventure for them would cause all of them to disappear."

After Anna and Sokov chatted for a while, they got up and walked outside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she stopped and said to Sokov: "Misha, remember to go out early tomorrow. When I just came back, I saw a notice posted at the door of the elevator room saying that the elevator will be closed soon. There is a fault and it will be repaired tomorrow. The maintenance time is 8:00~16:00. If we are late, we will have to take the stairs. "

"Okay, I get it."

After Anna left, Sokov couldn't calm down and kept thinking about things related to the elevator.

Because his mind was a little confused, he did not read a book, but directly found a drama online and clicked to play it.

The play tells the story of a coal mine that collapsed and more than a hundred miners who were working underground were trapped at the bottom of the mine, and the relevant parties mobilized manpower for emergency rescue. Although the process was thrilling, it ended with a happy ending, and all the trapped miners were rescued.

When Sokov turned off the player, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind: "Did Baharov and the others encounter a landslide after entering an underground space, and then they were trapped in a small area?" Because they are deep underground, their mobile phones do not have any information, so they cannot contact the outside world? "

After this idea came up, it was like a wild weed growing out of control. For him, the idea of ​​time travel is too outrageous. The most reasonable explanation is that he was trapped in a landslide after entering the underground passage.

Thinking of this, he quickly picked up the phone and dialed Victoria's number.

Hearing the sound coming from the earphones, Sokov said bluntly: "Vika, do you think it is possible that the reason why Khabarov and the others disappeared was not that they were attacked by others, but that they were He was locked up in a dark basement, but while exploring some underground facilities, he encountered a landslide and was trapped in a small area? "

Victoria waited for Sokov to finish and then asked: "Even if they are trapped in a small area, don't they know how to call the outside world for help? You know, the police only found a mobile phone outside, which means There are eleven working mobile phones?”

"Vika, this is what I think about." In order to convince Victoria, Sokov put forward his own idea: "Maybe there is no signal underground, and their mobile phones cannot contact the outside world at all."

"Did you come up with any good ideas when you called me?"

"You told me that the missing men and women in St. Petersburg were found because homeless people and campers heard their cries for help in the middle of the night." Sokov said cautiously: "Vika, do you think you can Contact the police officer from yesterday and ask him to send someone to Hoflin Hospital to monitor whether there are any noises coming from underground?”

Victoria said nothing, seeming to consider whether Sokov's statement was trustworthy.

Although Sokov was anxious at the moment, he did not speak casually to avoid disturbing Victoria's train of thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Victoria finally spoke: "Misha, I can call the police officer, but I can't guarantee whether he will send someone to Hoflin Hospital to monitor whether there is any movement underground."

"Vika, I'll leave this to you." Sokov thought to himself that Baharov and the others had been missing for two days. If they were really trapped underground due to a landslide, even if there was enough oxygen in the trapped area, there would be no They may not be able to last long with food and water: "Whether they can be rescued depends on the speed of the police's action."

Victoria actually didn't want to deal with Sokov's request. That area was not her jurisdiction. If she went to ask about it herself, she would be annoying. However, after weighing the situation, she felt that saving twelve lives was more important than anything else, so she called the lieutenant and told him her thoughts.

When the lieutenant received Victoria's call, he was also silent for a long time, and finally asked slowly: "Major, are you sure that the missing people are trapped somewhere underground in the hospital?"

"I can't be sure." Victoria didn't talk in circles, but told the truth, "I just suspect that this is possible, so I suggest you send people into the hospital area to monitor whether there is any sound coming from underground. If there is, it will prove our The guess is correct, we can arrange manpower for rescue, of course, if not, there is nothing we can do.”

"Major, we have several police officers in Hoflin Hospital at the moment." The lieutenant replied: "I will ask them to pay attention and listen to whether there are any strange sounds coming from the ground."

After getting the lieutenant's promise, Victoria called Sokov again: "Misha, I have already agreed with the lieutenant that he will arrange for people to monitor the underground to see if there are any strange sounds coming from below. But I remind him You, if there are no results from tonight's monitoring, don't call me about this matter again. After all, this is interfering with the work of a neighboring unit and will be criticized by your superiors. "

"I understand, Vika." Sokov knew that Victoria had taken a big risk by doing this. If tonight's monitoring did not yield any results, Victoria might be criticized by her superiors, "I owe you a favor." ”

After hanging up the phone, Sokov continued to read online, glancing at the cell phone on the table from time to time, worried that a call would come in the next moment.

But unfortunately, his cell phone never rang. It was until one o'clock in the morning that he reluctantly left the study and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

In the early morning, he was awakened by the ringing of the phone under his pillow. He reached out and took out his mobile phone, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at the caller ID casually, trying to see who was the ignorant person who disturbed his sweet dream.

When he saw that it was Victoria's number, he answered the phone and asked feebly: "Vika, what's the matter?"

"Misha, your guess is correct. The police officer on duty last night did hear the sound coming from the ground."

After hearing Victoria say that there were really strange sounds coming from the ground of Hoflin Hospital, Sokov sat up straight and his sleepiness disappeared in an instant. He asked nervously: "Vika, is it true? ? Did the police officer on duty really hear the sound coming from the ground? "

"That's right." Victoria replied in an affirmative tone: "The lieutenant told me personally. He said that they will mobilize large machinery this morning to excavate the place where the sound was made to see if they can trap people trapped underneath. Everyone was rescued.”

Hearing Victoria say that the police planned to use large machinery to excavate that area, Sokov was immediately startled: "Vika, call the lieutenant quickly. Don't use large machinery to excavate, otherwise It will cause underground landslides, and people trapped inside may lose their lives. "

Victoria thought about Sokov's words, and it seemed that this was really the case. If those people are really trapped because of the collapse of the underground passage, using large machinery to dig will definitely cause a large-scale collapse, and the trapped people may die.

"I understand, Misha." Victoria said: "I immediately contacted the lieutenant and told him that large machinery cannot be used for excavation, lest it cause another underground collapse and put the trapped people in danger."

After getting Victoria's promise, Sokov asked tentatively: "Vika, can I go to Hoflin Hospital now to see their rescue situation?"

"I don't know when the rescue work will start. It's useless if you go there. It's better to wait for the notification." Victoria said: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with the lieutenant that once there is the latest development, we will contact him in time." I'll make contact."
