Leo cautiously crawled forward on the grass, trying to minimize sound and movement as much as possible. However, as he moved carefully, his arm accidentally pressed against a piece of broken glass. The jarring crunch echoed loudly in the quiet night sky, and the sharp shards pierced his arm. The small wound wasn't deep, but it still drew a few drops of fresh blood.
The sound of the glass immediately caught the attention of the two thugs by the window. Their gaze turned to the area filled with odds and ends and wild grass, their expressions alert.
Leo felt a slight nervousness, but he quickly calmed his emotions. He knew there was no room for retreat now, and could only hope that the grass and odds and ends would be enough to conceal his figure. He minimized his movements, staying as still as possible, like a stone hidden in the grass.
The thugs at the window glanced for a moment, seemingly unconcerned with the weeds and trash on the ground. They exchanged a look, perhaps thinking the sound was just the normal rustling of the wind moving debris. After a while, they finally turned away, continuing their previous conversation and smoking.
Leo breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew he had to be even more careful. He continued to crawl forward slowly and silently, staying vigilant of his surroundings. This unexpected incident reminded him that in such a dangerous environment, any small mistake could lead to mission failure or even endanger his life.
Leo cautiously and carefully crawled forward, finally reaching the bottom of the glass window. He pressed tightly against the cold wall, trying to steady his erratic breathing. In the dim night, his eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for the best way to enter the factory.
His gaze quickly settled on some large air conditioners nearby, which were about a meter high and stacked up, looking quite sturdy. More importantly, above the air conditioners, he could just reach an old fire escape hanging in mid-air. The fire escape looked quite old, but for Leo, it might be the perfect way to quietly enter the factory.
Leo cautiously approached the air conditioners, moving with extreme lightness, afraid of making any detectable noise. He estimated the distance from the air conditioners to the fire escape, confident that he could quietly climb up using these devices.
After confirming that no one was around, Leo carefully and cautiously climbed up the first air conditioner unit, and then moved up one by one. He was agile and made almost no sound. When he approached the fire escape, he briefly paused to observe the stability of the ladder, and then carefully reached out to the shaky ladder.
Every move he made was filled with caution and alertness, knowing that this was not only a physical challenge, but also a test of his stealth skills. Leo knew that only by successfully climbing the fire escape could he continue forward and complete his mission.
Leo is stretching his arms, trying to reach the dangling fire escape. No matter how hard he tries, he always falls just short of reaching it. This challenge is proving to be even more difficult than he expected. The ladder is right in front of him, yet it seems so far out of reach.
In his repeated attempts, Leo almost loses his balance and falls from the air conditioner. He feels his heart pounding fiercely, and the sense of imminent danger causes his adrenaline to surge. Luckily, at the last moment, he finally manages to steady himself on the edge, breathing heavily with tension. He temporarily retreats to the air conditioner to reassess the situation.
At that moment, he noticed that the window was closed. Obviously, the two thugs who were smoking had returned to the factory. This relieved Leo, but also increased his sense of urgency. He knew that he had to quickly find a way into the factory now, or he might miss the best opportunity.
Leo turned around, his gaze once again scanning the ground he had just crawled over. A thought flashed through his mind: among these scattered odds and ends, perhaps he could find a tool to hook onto the fire escape. With that in mind, he agilely jumped down from the air conditioner and began searching on the ground covered with weeds and scattered odds and ends.
Leo carefully turned over various discarded items. It seemed to be a pile of accumulated waste over the years, including various sizes of metal fragments, broken tools, and even some unidentified odds and ends. After a moment of searching, Leo's gaze finally settled on a rusty crowbar.
The crowbar was covered in rust, clearly weathered over a long period of time. But when Leo picked it up, he could feel its substantial weight. Despite its severe corrosion on the surface, it remained sturdy and reliable. Leo gripped the crowbar tightly, feeling a surge of hope.
This crowbar might be the tool he needs to help him catch the precarious fire escape. He quickly returned to the air conditioner, ready to try climbing again. This time, with the crowbar as an aid, he believed it would greatly increase his chances of success.
Climbing back onto the air conditioner, Leo tightly gripped the rusty crowbar in his hand, determined to use it to catch the fire escape. He carefully calculated the angle and force, extending the crowbar towards the swaying fire escape. After several adjustments in position and angle, the crowbar finally successfully caught the ladder.
In the midst of excitement, Leo quickly transitioned into practical action. He began trying to pull down the fire escape with a crowbar, hoping to lower it to a height he could climb. His arm muscles tensed as he pulled with all his might, his face filled with determination and hope.
However, despite Leo's efforts, the fire escape seemed to be stuck, unmoving. He increased his strength, but the ladder remained unresponsive, frozen in mid-air. A hint of frustration appeared on Leo's face, but he did not give up.
