560: A mysterious virus breaks out in the prison, turning all the prisoners into bloodthirsty lunatics???
Inside the dim prison cell.
Lin Jianjun, bruised and battered, stood under the high iron window, trying to discern the commotion outside by the bright moonlight shining in.
“Huh? (・◇・) What’s going on?”
“In the middle of the night, why is the prison so noisy? Unheard of. Aren’t the prison guards doing anything?”
“And those sounds, why do they seem to be getting closer?”
“Hey? Xiao Song, am I hearing things? I think I… ”
“Hear a lot of people laughing? And screams and curses?”
“…”
The more Lin Jianjun listened, the more confused he became, completely unaware of what was happening, and instinctively turned to Song Ze for confirmation.
At this moment, Song Ze’s sense of unease grew stronger.
He frowned and stood up, pacing back and forth in the cell: “No! Uncle Lin, you’re not imagining things.”
“I heard it too, and not just me. Anyone who isn’t deaf should have already heard the approaching commotion outside…”
“…”
Following the direction of Song Ze’s finger, Lin Jianjun also saw many inmates outside the iron bars, woken by the noise, rubbing their sleepy eyes and getting up to watch with blank expressions.
Some of the more hot-tempered ones even directly leaned on the iron bars, yelling curses down the corridor… “What the hell! Who is it? What’s all the noise about in the middle of the night?!”
“Where are the prison guards? Where did they run off to? Aren’t they going to deal with this?”
“ convex( Fuck dish fuck) Damn it! I was just dreaming of rolling in bed with the goddess Zhao Liying! I was woken up at the crucial moment. You son of a bitch, give me back my beautiful dream!!!!”
“Hahaha, interesting? The sound seems to be coming from the women’s prison area. Could there be a riot over there?”
“…Possibly! So many fully armed prison guards just gathered, I suspect they went to suppress it!”
“If it were just a few individuals escaping, it wouldn’t require such a large-scale operation!”
“Holy crap! Those women are so bold? Let them riot! Let them riot! It’ll provide some gossip and laughs for our boring lives!”
“Damn it! Locked in here for more than ten years, I’ve almost forgotten what a woman tastes like! I really want to find a few women to satisfy my cravings~~~”
“Hehehehehehe—”
“…”
For a time, the various cells were in chaos.
Most of the bald inmates, woken by the commotion, were all leaning on the iron bars, gloating and chatting about various dirty jokes, with a very high ‘mother’ content in their words.
But what was strange was… the prison guards, who would usually rush over to stop the inmates as soon as they heard any movement, did not appear tonight.
This unusual scene made Song Ze’s right eyelid twitch even more violently in his cell.
He had a strong intuition that something terrible had happened in the prison—
Bang!!!!!
Just then, a loud bang came, startling everyone present.
The large door in the corridor suddenly burst open, kicked in by someone, and a middle-aged man in a prison guard uniform rushed in in a panic, pulling out keys and starting to open the nearest cells… “Holy crap! Old Teacher, what’s going on with you? Why are you covered in blood?”
“Hey! Old Teacher, are you crazy? We’re all prisoners, do you know the consequences of releasing prisoners without authorization?”
“What the hell are you doing? Also, what’s with all the commotion outside? What exactly happened?”
“Old Teacher, are you deaf? Or mute? Are you even listening to us?”
“…”
The inmates were all bewildered, asking questions in a flurry of voices.
They naturally recognized this prison guard, whom they saw every day.
He was actually a decent person, rumored to have been a teacher before, and usually liked to talk to them about life and grand principles, as if he treated them as his students.
Over time, this Tang Sanzang-like preaching style annoyed the inmates so much that they simply gave him the nickname “Old Teacher.”
However, today Old Teacher seemed very off; his face was full of panic, and his body was covered in a large amount of blood, as if he had just experienced an attack.
Blood flowed incessantly from his right calf, and he limped as he walked.
He also kept muttering:
“Crazy! Crazy! Everyone’s gone crazy!”
“If you don’t want to die, run now!!!”
“…”
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, after opening all 30-plus inmate cells in the block, the frenzied Old Teacher suddenly stiffened and fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
He then began to convulse on the ground as if having an epileptic seizure, foaming at the mouth.
“Holy crap! Old Teacher! Are you okay?!”
Several inmates who usually got along well with the prison guard squatted down anxiously to check on him.
More inmates, however, tiptoed out of their cells, looking around.
The dimly lit corridor was suddenly crowded with prisoners in striped uniforms.
Some of the more cunning criminals began to walk out of the cell block door in twos and threes, forming groups.
No one present was a fool.
Although they still didn’t know exactly what had happened in the prison.
It was clear, however, that now was the time with the highest chance of a successful escape… レ(゚∀゚;)ヘ=3=3=3.
If not now, when?
Soon, more and more criminals realized this and began to stir.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was too tempting; no one could ignore it.
As for the prison guard on the ground, whose life hung in the balance, hehe… what did he have to do with them?!
“Xiao Song, hurry! Let’s escape too?”
Seeing that most of the inmates had already run off, Lin Jianjun also couldn’t sit still and quickly called out to Song Ze, ready to follow.
He was a man sentenced to a suspended death sentence; his life was basically over.
Now that he had a chance to regain his freedom, there was no way he could remain indifferent… “Uncle Lin, wait, let’s observe a bit longer. It might be even more dangerous outside right now…”
Song Ze’s expression was serious, and he stopped Lin Jianjun. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave the prison.
In fact, he wanted to escape this cage and return to the man he loved more than anyone.
However, everything that happened tonight reeked of strangeness.
Yes, strangeness… Where were all the prison guards in the prison? Where did they all go?
Also, so many prisoners had escaped, why hadn’t the alarm sounded yet?
The seven or eight 24-hour surveillance cameras overhead weren’t just for show!
Every move of the inmates was being monitored constantly.
Logically speaking!
Their large-scale escape should have been discovered long ago, and prison guards should have come to suppress it, right?!
The only reason there was no movement was that they couldn’t come… So, what was the reason that held them back?
Damn it, there was still too little information. If only he could get more information… Unfortunately, the only one who knew suddenly fainted.
If Old Teacher were still conscious, he could just ask him what the situation was like outside… “Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah—”
Just then!
A sudden burst of laughter and a piercing scream echoed from behind them, startling everyone present and making them turn their heads.
But the scene they witnessed filled them with horror, making them all gasp in cold air—
