Chapter 200 - 196: Taking Action Early
The sewage treatment plant was all automated machinery; there were only two people on duty in the security room at night. It didn’t take Ling Chen much time to easily bypass the surveillance and infiltrate the interior of the sewage plant.
Finding the sewage pipe that led directly to the target factory, Ling Chen put on night vision goggles, adjusted the signal of his headset, and then crawled into the sewage pipe. The diameter of the pipe was half a meter long, just enough to accommodate an adult.
However, the pipe emitted a pungent stench, and its inside was coated with sticky filth, which was very disgusting.
Fortunately, Ling Chen was prepared in advance, wearing a mask and gloves, and moved slowly along the sewage pipe. This pipe was over four hundred meters long, and he could only crawl on hands and knees, carrying tools on his back, which was very laborious. It was undoubtedly a serious test of his stamina.
More than ten minutes passed, Ling Chen exhaled deeply and lay down to rest. After regaining some strength, he continued on his way. After roughly half an hour in total, he finally reached the end of the sewage pipe.
There was no exit from the pipe, it was all sealed. Ling Chen took off the backpack he was carrying, took out the welding tools he had prepared in advance, and started to burn through the top of the pipe.
A moment later, a square exit was burnt into the sewage pipe. Climbing out of the pipe, Ling Chen looked around to make sure no one was in the vicinity before sealing the opening of the pipe to avoid detection.
At the moment, his location was a storage room, with goods piled messily all around. After changing out of his foul-smelling clothes, he approached the door and listened intently. Hearing no movement outside, he gently opened the door and poked his head out.
Outside the storage room was a spacious corridor. With no one else around, Ling Chen quickly moved towards the end of the corridor. However, just as he was about to reach the corner, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from around the corner.
His gaze swept around, and he quickly stepped into the nearby room and rushed inside.
