I have a space station

"You are the only person I've ever seen who made it here alive," the masked leader explained.

"Before you praise me, could you explain why you captured me?" A'Diao asked coldly.

"Hahaha, you'll find out soon enough. Take him in!" The masked leader laughed and walked straight into the cave.

"Go!"

The masked subordinates behind him pushed him, signaling him to go inside.

A'Diao didn't resist. After observing the surroundings, he lifted his foot and walked inside.

For a moment, he considered running away. But it was daytime, and masked men were everywhere. He figured he would be caught as soon as he tried to break free from the chains.

So, he had no choice but to take it one step at a time.

As soon as he entered the cave, darkness fell before his eyes. But he quickly adapted to the darkness inside.

It wasn't completely dark inside; many strange torches were lit.

Actually, it wasn't that the torches were strange, but that he had never seen them before.

These torches were all made of bronze.

The base was a thin copper rod for support. Above it was a bowl-shaped copper plate filled with fish oil.

A thick wick, made of some unknown material, was soaked in the fish oil.

The cave was very spacious, and these torches were everywhere.

The cave was also very deep. They continued walking through the tunnels inside for two hours without seeing the end.

Along the way, there were rooms at intervals, but he didn't know what they were for.

Suddenly, the masked leader stopped in front of a room and said:

"We'll rest here for the night and continue tomorrow."

After speaking, he turned and entered the room.

"Come here!" Two masked subordinates pulled him to the side of the cave entrance and chained the copper chain to a copper ring on the wall.

A'Diao was secretly pleased.

To him, being chained here was the same as not being chained.

Although he didn't know the exact time, he estimated it was afternoon.

Everyone was tired after walking for a day and a night.

So, as soon as the masked leader gave the order to rest, the subordinates immediately collapsed.

Two hours later, everyone was asleep.

Because they were in a cave, they weren't very strict with their guard.

A'Diao leaned against the corner, his hands behind his back, quietly pinching the two adjacent rings in the middle of the copper chain and pulling them tightly.

Then, he pressed his thumbs together, gradually increasing the force.

He controlled the force just right. Plus, the bronze material was relatively soft, so it didn't suddenly snap.

He wedged the two copper rings tightly together, without making even the slightest sound of friction.

Gradually, the copper ring stretched, and then the joint was pulled open. Afterward, the opening continued to expand.

Once he estimated it was enough, he slowly released the force and then unfastened the copper chain from the opening.

After checking that no one was around, he slowly raised his buttocks and crept away.

Fortunately, he was lucky.

No one had passed by his location all afternoon.

After leaving two hundred meters, he started to stand up and quickly ran towards the exit.

According to his memory, not far back there was a room for resting.

It seemed like there was no one in that room.

Sure enough!

When he quietly sneaked in, it was indeed empty.

Not only was it empty, but there was also a lot of food and weapons in the corner.

The problem was, there were no bronze helmets.

In this place, a helmet was like a pass.

No one would take off their helmet to look at another person's face.

Of course, even if they did, it wouldn't matter, because they wouldn't recognize each other.

A'Diao planned to wait for someone to come and then snatch a helmet from them.

But before that, he had to remove the hook from his collarbone.

This thing was a ticking time bomb; if someone grabbed it, he would be subdued immediately.

This wasn't difficult for him.

After all, the hook was also made of bronze, and it was much thinner than the copper rings. For him, it would only take a little force to pull it open.

"Ding ding ding~, ding ding ding~"

Around midnight, a loud metallic sound suddenly echoed in the tunnel.

Judging from the timbre, it was some kind of warning.

At the same time, someone was shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Not good! A slave has escaped!"

"Not good! A slave has escaped!"

The shouting was not far from him, clearly referring to himself.

"Pa la pa la~"

"Hu chi hu chi~"

As he shouted, he could faintly hear movement coming from the distance. It seemed that someone had heard the warning and was rushing over.

Of course, it would take at least half an hour for them to get here.

A'Diao believed that he couldn't sit still and wait for death; he had to take action in advance.
