Ten minutes after the introduction of the virus, Gu Ding looked at the age-restricted scene that was showing on the security feeds in the monitoring room. He dialed the emergency number that connected him to Old Henry. “Um, Mr. Chief Warden, I’m the newcomer, Gu Ding. I’m in the monitoring room now, but… I just discovered… that there’s something wrong with the security feed…”

“Understood. I will come immediately. Inform the network technician and get him to come up with a solution.”Old Henry hung up the call urgently. Gu Ding guessed that he must have known about the news of the virus infection on other branches of Skyriver Prison.

He was not worried that Old Henry knew about it. It did not change the fact that the system was about to collapse.

In a few minutes, Old Henry arrived at the monitoring room. At the same time, he received news from the network technician that the system had already collapsed.

“We’re ready to unlock all the doors and restraints. Pay attention to Uncle Cain’s position and find an escape route for me.” Gu Ding covertly told Neptune his new instructions.

“Mr. Chief Warden, I’m going to the washroom,” Gu Ding informed Old Henry and walked toward the washroom. Old Henry’s eyes were transfixed on the security feed and did not pay attention to Gu Ding.

In the washroom, Gu Ding locked himself behind a cubicle, took off his prison guard uniform and put on a filthy prison uniform. He did not immediately step out of the washroom after changing, but rather sat on the toilet and observed the evolution of the situation through the security cameras under Neptune’s control.

1After the restraints and doors were unlocked, the inmates started to riot. In less than five minutes, some inmates were rushing toward the office block of the prison.

Gu Ding turned off the security feed. He heard that the chaotic noises were already near and he knew that the inmates were drawing in. Only then, he pushed open the door to the cubicle.

At this moment, the door to the washroom abruptly slammed open. A prison guard in uniform rushed in and locked the door, panting heavily. Gu Ding’s heart skipped a beat. He took a Silent Step and quietly slid behind that guard, then delivered a karate chop to the back of his neck. The prison guard fainted instantly.

Gu Ding dragged him aside, then unlocked the door and exited the toilet. To his left was the prison office block. It was loud and chaotic there. Gu Ding turned right and walked toward the prison cells.

Neptune had already determined Cain’s position and Gu Ding ran all the way there. Broken equipment and machines were strewn all over the corridors. The inmates had destroyed everything along the corridors out of anger. Water coolers, coffee machines, auto-vending machines… nothing was in working order.

1Gu Ding had also met many inmates with vicious faces. Fortunately, he was in prison uniform and no one bothered him. He quickly found Cain among the crowd.

“Uncle Cain!” Gu Ding shouted.

Cain was currently frowning, wondering which way he should take at a junction. He heard someone calling his name and turned to look with some suspicion. He remembered that the only people who knew him on Cerule were Rose and her crewmates. He was the only one captured this time, so he was doubtful that he knew anyone in this prison. When he saw Gu Ding appear in front of him, he was shocked.

“Lil Gu Ding, why are you here?” Cain was confused.
