Chapter 106 - Prison Escape (1/2)
This escape route wasn’t short. It was like an underground passage and was filled with twists and turns. No one knew where the passage led.
The three of the followed this passage along and finally reached the end.
There was a staircase. Su Min went up first and pushed at the door. There probably was something blocking the door outside so he couldn’t open it.
“Come and help me.”
The combined strength of the three of them was more than enough. After pushing at it a few times, they managed to pry open a gap.
After Su Min went out, he saw that they were no standing inside the infirmary.
The location of the infirmary was quite far from their rooms, so it was also rather far from the laboratory. Like this, it was a completely isolated location.
Fang Shu Juan had not entered further into the infirmary, “Where is this?”
Su Min said: “The infirmary. That medal over there probably belongs to that man in the white coat.”
There were medals and awards for all kinds of diseases. It was no wonder they had all their medical details recorded. Once one particular research was done, they could move on to study something else.
Those people here using live humans for experiments were complete psychopaths.
Fang Shu Juan said: “It might be chaotic outside. They probably noticed something now. Will we be able to go back now?”
Su Min: “Wait a bit first.”
He stepped out and searched around a little and managed to successfully find the phone in the infirmary. He tried to dial out.
Yin Ze asked curiously, “Who are you calling?”
Su Min smiled and said, “The TV stations and firefighters, and also those who enjoy live broadcasting.”
He had specially asked Chen Su for this information this afternoon.
Su Min’s memory was excellent. He smoothly dialled the numbers out. On the phone, he claimed that there was a fire at the prison and that there may have been a prison escape.
With something so newsworthy, there would definitely be many people rushing over to get the scoop. If it was live broadcasted, things could no longer be hidden.
Sirens sounded outside.
Fang Shu Juan continued to pace back and forth between the entrance and the window of the infirmary. He was afraid of someone suddenly coming.
But perhaps it was because they were lucky, nothing happened even after a few minutes.
Su Min hung up, “I’m done. They’ll be here soon. It might take some time for them to get here and things will start getting chaotic.”
Reporters were not afraid of anything.
“How are we getting back?” Yin Ze said: “That door over there must be locked. We probably have no choice but to wait here to get caught.”
Su Min thought carefully for a moment, “Find a place to hide first. Someone would probably come over in a moment and we can take advantage of the commotion to return to our room.”
The lights outside were bright.
They probably wouldn’t expect anyone to be inside the infirmary with it being so dark.
Su Min felt that it was about time. He said: “Let’s go.”
After sneaking around for a few minutes, they finally reached the main door.
Yin Ze’s eyes were sharp, “What’s that?”
Su Min followed his line of sight and saw a green sign in the distance. It was that big-headed ghost earlier. It sat there alone by the main door.
The building behind it was emitting smoke.
There probably was a problem with the laboratory. Numerous prison guards ran out to check and no one spared any attention to the locked-up prisoners.
There wasn’t just the one entrance to the laboratory. The one they used was a passaged designed for transporting humans in and out while the other entrance was the real entrance.
Within the darkness, no one noticed that room 8 was empty.
Su Min then realised that the surveillance cameras may have all been taken down by the ghost.
Because the people outside did their best to avoid being discovered, may of the prisoners inside were still sleeping and unaware of the situation.
Seeing him, the big-headed ghost was very happy.
Su Min patted its head, “We’re going back now. You can go to my room to find me.”
With the big-headed ghost with them, they returned to their room smoothly.
Su Min left the big-headed ghost in the room and relocked the door. He spoke quite a lot to the ghost but unfortunately the other party couldn’t speak.
Faced with a situation like this, Su Min felt quite distressed.
Fang Shu Juan didn’t know where it was and said a work of thanks to the air.
The big-headed ghost giggled to the point that its entire body shook.
Su Min couldn’t help but guide him: “You’re facing the empty space next to it.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Fang Shu Juan was embarrassed. He changed his position, “Thank you.”
This time the big-headed ghost reached out and touched his arm.
Fang Shu Juan keenly felt a cold sensation on his arm, “It touched me?”
Su Min nodded, “En.”
Fang Shu Juan then said a few more words with satisfaction.
Because it was still late, they didn’t talk for long and went back to sleep.
***
The morning reminder from the speaker didn’t sound this time.
Su Min slept until dawn. This time he also didn’t receive any prompts from the cinema. He could tell that he was not far from the movie’s end.
After washing up, there were some loud noises outside.
No one was being taken out to have breakfast and the prisoners were rioting inside. They banged on the metal doors loudly whilst calling for the prison guards.
Fang Shu Juan walked over to the door, “Looks like things have gotten quite troublesome.”
Otherwise why couldn’t they do something as simple as taking them out for breakfast?
“That’s good then.” Su Min smiled, “I think this prison was probably rotten from the core. Even the prison guards probably weren’t real, and the real ones were dealt with a long time ago.”
He felt that this speculation of his sounded very plausible.
Afterall, lately all the government official characters in web novels had to be representatives of justice. It wouldn’t be surprising for that restriction to also be applied to movies which have a larger audience base.
Sure enough, the one opening the door this time wasn’t the usual prison guard.
