Chapter 6326: The Dark Cable Descends

"Okay, then you go ahead." Lin Rui nodded.

Sergey, tactical flashlight in hand, made way for Daniel. The space above the ceiling, although the height is not bad, the place where they can walk is really limited.

It can only move along the steel beam above the ceiling, the width is actually only forty centimeters. Such a small position is actually only enough for one person to move. It is impossible for several people to pass at the same time.

Daniel came to the front and observed carefully with a tactical flashlight. Then he turned his head and waved, letting the team follow him and move on.

After advancing about 20 meters, Daniel raised his hand to signal them all to stop.

"What's going on? The elevator shaft should be right in front, why didn't it stop?" Lin Rui asked in a low voice.

"I asked you to stop for a while, of course there is a reason." Daniel pointed to the positions leading to both sides of the elevator shaft.

"What's there?" Lin Rui took a photo with a tactical flashlight, but he didn't seem to find anything.

"Look carefully, the supporting steel beams on both sides on the opposite side are equipped with two sensors." Daniel lowered his voice.

Sergey nodded, "I see, it's an infrared sensor. And the position is very low, if we pass through there, the sensor will undoubtedly be triggered."

"That's right. That's what I call a security trap. There's a bunch of great security experts here, and sometimes they'll leave a little bit of a hole on purpose and set a trap for that hole at the same time.

This is the so-called security trap. Intruders go to great lengths, thinking they've discovered a weakness, but don't know they've fallen into their trap. "Daniel smiled slightly.

"How do you know there will be a trap here?" Lin Rui asked.

"Because under normal circumstances, steel fences will be installed at the position leading to the elevator. This is to increase strength and also for safety measures to prevent personnel who are performing maintenance on the ceiling from falling into the elevator shaft by mistake.

There is no such usual steel fence here. If you look closely, you can see that there are traces on both sides, which means that it has been demolished.

While removing the original steel fence, there is only one possibility, and that is to install something else. ’ Daniel explained.

"Okay, then how can we get through there?" Lin Rui asked.

"This infrared sensor has a device on each side. One of the devices is used to emit and receive infrared light, while the other device is used for reflection.

Simply put, it emits infrared light, reflects it back and receives it.

Once the reflected infrared light cannot be received, it means that there is an object between the two, blocking the emission and reflection reception of infrared light. At this time, the siren will work. ’ replied Sergey.

"It's also very simple to solve this. Remove the reflector on the other side and move it to one end of the launcher. As long as the two are always facing each other, the alarm will not be triggered."

Lin Rui nodded slightly, "I understand, it is the same concept as the military electronic fence alarm."

"Although it's not quite right, it's about the same." Daniel walked over slowly, and slowly unscrewed the screws on the receiver with a tool knife.

"You'd better watch out. If your hand shakes, we're all screwed," Sergey whispered.

"Don't worry, you are not the only one who is an expert. And I have a pair of super stable hands." Daniel whispered as he removed the screws, "Russian, if this matter can be successfully concluded. Are you interested in cooperating in the future? a handful?"

"Cooperation, stealing banks?" Sergey shrugged, "This business is not exciting enough for me anymore."

"It's a pity, I just don't think your talent in this area should be buried." Daniel said while removing the screws skillfully.

"Don't move around. If this thing misses by a centimeter, the alarm will be triggered." Daniel held the reflector in his hand and slowly moved forward.

When he was only 10 centimeters away from the infrared emitting device, he stopped slowly.

"Now I need a little fixation. Make sure this thing won't fall off. Give me your thin steel wire." Daniel whispered.

Sergey nodded, took out a roll of thin steel wire from his tool, straightened it vigorously, and then slowly fixed the reflector.

In this way, the infrared emitting device and the reflector are fixed at the same height to ensure that the alarm will not be triggered.

After finishing all this, Daniel nodded to them, indicating that they could continue to act.

"Okay. We are now in position." Lin Rui took a photo with a tactical flashlight. The elevator shaft was dark and deep, almost like an abyss.

"Now our height is the 14th floor, and the location of the vault must be at least 20 to 30 meters underground. This means that we have to descend to a height of more than 90 meters.

Everyone must check their belongings and secure everything on their bodies as much as possible.

Because from our current height, once something falls, it will make a loud noise. Even if we were in the elevator shaft, I'm afraid we'd alarm the guards.

And because the distance is too long, we may not be able to descend in place at one time. So I plan on setting up a couple of anchors along the way. "Lin Rui ordered according to the plan.

"You guys are really brave, if it were me, I would not take such a risky way.

It is such a long distance to descend, and you have to be careful that there are elevators going up or down in the middle. If we accidentally fell to our death in the elevator shaft, we might become the laughing stock of the thieves world.

Tomorrow it will be on the news, a gang of stupid thieves who tried to rob the Federal Reserve Bank threw themselves down an elevator shaft. "Daniel shook his head and checked the rappelling equipment on his body, including the figure 8 buckle.

Because they had made sufficient preparations in advance, they brought enough equipment this time. In addition to the traditional abseiling tools, there is even an electric abseiling pulley and seat belt, specially for Cobain.

Sergey and Black Mamba took the lead. They descended to a height of about tens of meters, and then set auxiliary anchor points on the elevator shaft wall.

When you're done, signal above with a tactical flashlight.

Seeing the flashing tactical flashlight below, Lin Rui nodded to the rest of the team members, "Daniel, Cobain and I will go down. The rest of the team will stay here to respond. If there is anything to do, use the scheduled radio channel."

Yelena and several other team members nodded to him, and stayed in the elevator shaft to wait. Watch them descend the zipline.

The elevator shaft is very deep, and as long as there is a little sound, there will be a loud echo. Therefore, Lin Rui and others tried to avoid making sounds, and used the flashing of tactical flashlights to send short signals.

Just as Lin Rui was sliding down with Cobain, he suddenly saw a few flashes of the tactical flashlight below.

"Huh?" Lin Rui frowned slightly. The flashing frequency of the tactical flashlight was not the signal they had agreed upon before.

The signal they agreed on before was that one long and one short signaled safety. Blinks briefly twice to indicate a warning. If it flashes rapidly, it means danger.

But just now, the flashing signal of the tactical flashlight below. Doesn't seem to be everything they agreed upon.

Could it be that they pressed the wrong button in a panic.

Lin Rui didn't believe that Sergey and Black Mamba would make mistakes in their busy schedule. These two people are people who have experienced life and death battles. If it is said that they lack calmness, is there anyone in this world who can be considered calm.

But what did the signal from the flashlight just mean?

Lin Rui just had a second thought, and immediately realized that it was not good, and pressed Cobain hard against the wall of the elevator shaft.

"What's the matter, Boss?" Cobain panicked.

"Don't talk, adjust your breathing, and stay calm. Keep yourself close to the wall and never move." Lin Rui whispered.

"Okay. But what's going on here?" Cobain followed Lin Rui's instructions and pressed himself tightly against the wall of the elevator shaft.

"Just keep still." Lin Rui whispered. "There is an elevator coming up from below. I heard some faint sounds just now, and the signal sent to us from below is obviously incomplete.

This means that the light signal of the flashlight is blocked by some objects. That's why I didn't read the whole thing.

But this is an elevator shaft, and the only thing that can block us is the elevator running in the elevator shaft. "Lin Rui whispered.

"You mean there is an elevator coming up from below?" Cobain was a little surprised, and then shook his head, "We are leaning against the wall of the elevator shaft now, even if the elevator comes up, it won't affect us, right?

I mean, the elevator won't go up too fast, and even if it hits us, it won't be a big deal. "

"The elevator will not come up for no reason. There may be bank security personnel in the elevator. Once we make any movement, it is easy to alarm them.

Also our descent rope is too long, if you shake violently, the rope will shake too.

Once the dangling rope is entangled with the running elevator, it is likely to bring you in and strangle you alive in the elevator shaft. "Lin Rui said calmly.

Cobain faltered in an instant, lying there obediently, not even daring to speak.

Sure enough, the sound of the machinery running became louder, and the elevator slowly ascended from the darkness. Lin Rui and Cobain carefully leaned against the wall of the elevator shaft.

They are all carrying tactical backpacks, and they have to be careful with their backpacks to avoid being caught by the elevator in operation. But even if they were so careful, they still couldn't avoid accidents.

After all, Cobain was not a field officer and lacked operational experience. In addition to the darkness, the elevator slowly ascended from below. They can only rely on the narrow space between the elevator shaft and the elevator car to shelter.

After a little panic, Cobain let go. Although his body was still hanging on the rope, his hand holding the main rope slipped.

This caused him to hang from the rope, and his body rolled directly. Originally, Cobain used a seat belt. As long as he grabbed the rope, it was absolutely impossible for such a situation to happen.

Because among the various rappelling methods, almost all of them are emphasizing that the main rope must be grasped by hand. Whether it is rock climbing or high-altitude cable descent, the hand that holds the main rope is called the hand of life. Once out, it is very dangerous.

This is the case with Cobain now. When the rope was out of his hand, he hurried to continue to grab it.

At the same time, his body was already in a sudden fall, so instead of catching the rope, he fell headfirst.

If he didn't have a seat belt, he probably fell directly. Even with a seat belt, his center of gravity has been deflected. The whole person turned head down and feet up, hanging in the air.

This time, if it is replaced by an experienced person, with the help of the strength of the waist and abdomen, do a crunch, grab the main rope again, and it will be easily resolved.

But Cobain had no relevant experience, the rope fell out of his hand, and his body lost his balance, turning his head down and his feet up. For a moment, he was completely confused.

Frightened, he struggled violently. The more he struggled, the more he wobbled. Lin Rui tried to help him several times, but because he was shaking violently, he couldn't reach him at all.

Click on the elevator below and it's coming. Cobain was so wobbly that he could easily bump into the upward elevator.

If it really hits, not only will the people in the elevator be alarmed, but Cobain himself will be injured.

What's more, the elevator is still running. Once the rope on Ke himself is wrapped around the elevator, he may be hanged alive.

Lin Rui knew that he could no longer hesitate, so he could only push his legs against the wall. The whole person swung far away towards Cobain.

He was running out of time, and he had to catch Cobain in seconds and pull him as far as possible to safety, avoiding the ascending elevator.

This time Lin Rui succeeded. He successfully grabbed one of Cobain's feet, and with the help of the rope's swinging inertia, he pulled him to a position against the wall.

"Hold me and don't move. After the elevator passes, I will help you turn over. Now don't move around, wait patiently for the elevator to go up. The more you move, the more dangerous it is." Lin Rui said in a low voice.

The echo in the elevator shaft was very loud, and Lin Rui didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of being heard by the people in the elevator. So he wasn't sure if Cobain heard what he said.

What worries him most now is that Cobain didn't hear him. Continuing to struggle there is the worst thing.

Fortunately, Cobain seems to have heard it, and Lin Rui has helped him stabilize his figure. This somewhat reassured him, and he did not continue to struggle.

A few seconds later, the slowly ascending elevator passed by them and continued upward. After confirming that there was no problem, Lin Rui heaved a sigh of relief, continued to lower himself, and pulled Cobain's arm, pulling him up.

"Hold on to the rope. No matter what the situation is, you are still hanging on the rope. You must not let go of this hand. Otherwise, you will lose your balance just like before." Lin Rui patted Cobain on the shoulder, "Are you okay just now?" ?”

"It's okay, but it really scared me." Cobain just hung upside down for several minutes, and his face still hasn't recovered.

"Are you sure there is no problem?" Lin Rui asked, patting his shoulder.

"No." Cobain smiled awkwardly. "It's more exciting than playing war games. I never thought that one day I would hang upside down in the elevator of the Federal Reserve Bank. It can only be said to be too exciting."

"Okay, take a breath, we have to continue down. Unless you want to be crushed to death, the elevator you just went up may come down at any time. We'd better take this opportunity to go down first." Lin Rui looked down at the elevator Well side.
