Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

11:20pm.

Royce waited anxiously in a tavern outside the palace. He looked at the back door of the palace. The guards who changed shifts would enter at 0 o'clock.

The guards were not allowed to live in the palace. They were in an area near the palace. Roy was sitting in a tavern. He was still waiting for the news to be sent back from the palace.

Victor had contacted him several times. At this time, the door of the palace finally opened, and some guards who changed shifts entered. Royce stood up, and soon he saw a familiar figure.

After a while, several off-duty guards came towards the tavern. Royce calmly got up and went to the bathroom. A guard came in and handed the note to Royce.

(Let’s go out if we find a way)

Royce laughed happily. He turned around to pay the bill and left the tavern. Then he ran quickly for a while, entered an alley, and entered the basement through a secret door. Victor and some family members were waiting.

"I see."

After Victor finished speaking, people from other families raised objections. They felt that they could not continue to be involved with the clones. If things continued like this, they would be in trouble.

"Do you think it's possible for us to do it?"

Royce scratched his head and said.

"It's impossible to avoid the palace's surveillance and bring people out safely."

Victor felt a little uncomfortable, and he looked eager.

"Everyone, we must continue to cooperate with such an excellent clone. The benefits the Queen can give us now are just a temporary measure. Who knows what will happen in the next three to five years? Then Helt is a special clone. Can live for a long time.”

Victor's words dispelled the doubts of the family members, and everyone discussed how to avoid surveillance and rescue Hult and the others. At this time, Royce thought of something, and he smiled.

"Everyone, I have an idea."

Victor immediately smiled.

"Say it."

Royce took out a crystal screen and then called up the map, he said.

"This place is about 25 meters away from the garden. We have all been to the palace garden. It may be the only blind spot in the palace. Because of the dense vegetation, there is a chance."

No one quite understood what Royce was thinking, he smiled.

"It's simple, we just need to dig a tunnel big enough for people to get through quickly."

Victor laughed and then said.

"This is a good idea."

"But we have to be prepared. We may only have 10 minutes at most. Within 10 minutes, we have to fill the tunnel, otherwise there will be traces."

After Royce finished speaking, Victor stood up and said.

"I'll leave this to you."

Royce nodded. This was the only way to rescue Hult and the others. After all, the local surveillance was so intensive the day before yesterday that there were no blind spots.

If Helt and the others disappeared into the palace, the people responsible for surveillance would immediately be on alert, and then the area where Helt and the others disappeared would be thoroughly investigated, so there must be prerequisites for cooperation in this matter.

"But one thing, Mr. Victor, you have to find a way to cooperate with my actions on the night of escape."

Victor wondered.

"How to cooperate?"

"No matter what reason you use, hold a banquet in the palace on the night of your escape. If there is a way to do it, our risk will be smaller. After I rescue them, I will have at least 20 minutes to make up for it. Fall out of the tunnel so that they can’t find any traces of Hult and the others.”

Victor smiled.

"It's not a big deal, let's just put it all together. Hurry up and have someone deliver the note to Helter."

Royce nodded and then left the room. Victor breathed a sigh of relief. He had to rescue Helt. Firstly, he wanted to continue to cooperate with him in the future. Secondly, he wanted Helt to give the order. The clones on the periphery should not attack the family's mine without any reason.

After all, the clones will not occupy the mine that is being attacked. Instead, they will plunder it and leave, waiting for someone to repair it before launching another attack.

The recent series of behaviors of the clones have made the family members quite uncomfortable. If this continues, the family will suffer great losses.

Victor knew that the Queen wanted to keep everything in check, but one day she would show her fangs.

"Everyone, there is no need for us to continue discussing this matter now. After we rescue Hult, we will have a good discussion with him."

After Victor finished speaking, everyone stood up. In such an empire, it is very difficult for merchants to raise their heads. After all, the Queen will not let them raise their heads.

"Then have you thought about how to hold a banquet in the palace?"

Victor thought for a moment and said.

"So many soldiers have died in the empire recently. Let's hold a charity fundraiser. I will take the lead. I believe the queen will agree. After all, we can help them care for the relatives of the soldiers."

Everyone praised Victor's agility. It is true that the empire now needs to pay a large amount of pensions to the relatives of the soldiers, and if the family participates, it can help the empire's finances reduce a large amount of expenditure.

0 o'clock.

Helter looked a little drunk and looked at everything outside the window. The glass in front of him was special and could not be opened or broken. He had been placed under house arrest. Yuna and Katerina had also been separated. The deadline given by the Queen was One week.

What Helt was thinking about now was how the family was going to rescue them. Helt understood after a little observation. This palace looked beautiful, but in fact it was like a solid fortress.

It was almost impossible to leave from here. Helt looked at the large garden below and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He wanted to remind the family that the garden was probably the only loophole in the palace.

If they could dig a tunnel from the outside and open an opening in the trees, Hult and the others could leave from that place.

Although this plan is relatively risky, it is indeed the best choice and the one most likely to allow Helt and the others to escape from the palace.

Drunkness combined with sleepiness hit him all at once. Helt yawned and lay on the bed. When he opened his eyes, it was already morning. At this time, someone came to deliver food and came in with a dining cart.

Helt picked up the bread and artificial honey, spread it on it and ate it, but soon Helt felt something strange in his mouth. He got up and went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, started taking a shower, and then took out the food from his mouth. A small note.

(Six days later at 8pm, go to the garden, that is your escape hatch)

After reading it, Hert knew it. He quickly tore up the note and started taking a shower.

In the afternoon, Hert had a brief opportunity to go out, and Katerina was already waiting for him in the garden.

"Looking at the worried look on your face, what's going on?"

Katerina asked, and Hurt smiled and said.

"it's nothing."

Katerina asked as she realized what the Queen had said to Helt.

"What exactly it is, tell me."

"I'll tell you in a few days."

As Helt said, Katerina finally gave up. The two chatted for a while. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Helt was brought back to the room. He could still only sit outside the window, overlooking the streets of the city. .

Hurt looked outside the garden. There was a bakery on the street opposite the palace. Then he visually measured the distance. It was 30 meters at most. Hurt saw a few dense trees in the corner.

Helt quickly determined that if the family wanted to dig a tunnel, they would come from the bakery and open a hole next to the big tree. The three of them only needed to go down and they would be safe. He left the palace without anyone noticing.

But things shouldn't go so smoothly. How to show up in the garden? Helt only has one chance to go out every day, which is at noon.

The only way to get the three of them to appear outside at the same time is to agree to all the queen's conditions.

But now the question on Hert's mind is whether the Queen can trust him.

After thinking about it, Herthes decided to agree to the queen's conditions one day in advance on the morning of the fifth day to gain the opportunity to go out freely and be able to bring his two wives with him at the same time.

The family will definitely take action on the sixth day, and this action will definitely be big, because if you want to deceive others and allow them to escape smoothly, you can't just dig a tunnel.

At this time, the queen, who was about to read some documents in the room, received a message. The queen looked at the proposal from the initiator Victor with suspicion.

"How could they be so kind? Do they want to win people's hearts?"

Victor proposed to hold an unusual charity dinner in the palace garden in the afternoon five days later. At that time, the entire family would attend, and all the money donated would be used as pensions for fallen soldiers.

After thinking for a long time, the queen couldn't figure out why the family members did this, but soon she laughed, because now the queen had spread the word that it was the family members who were supporting the clone front.

In fact, there is no need for the Queen to mention this matter, because the reality is that the clones suddenly obtained weapons and ammunition, which is not something that clones can simply obtain.

So in fact, people have pointed the finger at the family members a long time ago. It is the family that silently supports the clones behind their backs, and that is why they have such strong fighting power.

In particular, the families of those dead soldiers were criticizing the family and demanding that the queen investigate the matter thoroughly.

Therefore, the family held a charity dinner at such a time to win people's hearts, but the queen was still a little worried.

"They shouldn't just donate a little bit."

The Queen doesn't want to agree. If the family is putting on a show, such a charity dinner is meaningless.

After hesitation, the Queen dialed Victor's number directly.

"What are you planning to do?"

The queen's voice was cold, and Victor smiled.

"Your Majesty, of course it is to help the empire alleviate some of its economic pressure."

"Are you really so kind, and you're not just showing off?"

the Queen asked bluntly.

"Of course not. Please rest assured that our family's donation will account for at least one-third of the pension."

The queen was stunned and asked.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Of course it's because the public opinion is not good for us now. Moreover, Your Majesty, I also hope that this matter can be calmed down as soon as possible."

After the Queen thought for a moment, she nodded in agreement and said.

"Okay, but if it's less than a third, don't blame me for not saying it beforehand."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it will definitely be more than one-third."

At this time, on Victor's side, a group of people cheered excitedly. Although nearly 50,000 soldiers were lost, they would have no pressure even if the family members were to pay for this pension.

The most important thing is that Victor's plan to rescue Hert has already begun.

Under the bread tube, Royce looked at the tunnel dug out that could allow one person to pass through. With the efforts of a group of engineers, it had advanced 8 meters. They would be able to reach the garden in less than three days.

The materials originally used to make bread in the basement have been replaced with some machinery and fillings.

Engineers have figured out a way. They can fill the tunnel in 8 minutes, repair the wall in 2 minutes, and restore the basement to its original state.

What is needed now is speed. The Queen should threaten Helt with his two wives. This is the simplest and crudest method, but it is also the most practical.

After all, Hert entered the palace for his two wives, an engineer said.

"Lord Royce, the final length of the route we have chosen is about 28 meters."

Royce nodded.

"Hurry up, we have to finish it as soon as possible."

Royce was confident, and he believed that Hert might have noticed what kind of plan they were going to use to rescue them.

For this tunnel, 300 engineers of the family were used to dig 24 hours a day. As long as they waited five days and took advantage of the chaos of the banquet to let Hult and the others come down, everything would be over. Once Hult and the others escaped, The family will provide strong protection, and the queen will never be able to find it no matter how hard she searches.

After looking at it for a while, Royce felt that there was no problem and returned to the ground. He also wanted to continue to transmit some more detailed information.

Royce soon went to see a Guardsman, he said.

"Hert said, he knows your plan, don't bring any more notes, because it may be exposed."

Royce was a little shocked and then said.

"When you go back, tell Hult that we will do our best to rescue him."

After the guard soldiers left, Royce breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the magnificent palace in the distance and smiled helplessly. This palace had been visible to him since he was very young, and it still stands there until now.

Time passed by, and Roy continued to wander around the street after watching for a while. Soon Royce felt something was wrong, and he was being watched.

Royce walked into a tavern, and sure enough, some guard soldiers came in.

"Come with us, Mr. Royce, His Majesty wants to see you."

Royce was a little shocked, then laughed.

"Of course, Your Majesty wants to see me. It is my honor."
