Chapter 051 Prison Break Simulator

In prison, they get up at 6:30 in the morning for roll call, spend 30 minutes washing and dressing, queue up in the canteen for meals, and then come back to tidy up their rooms. But this is the daily routine of ordinary prisoners and has nothing to do with Wei Nian and the others. As the unlucky ones who have switched shifts with others, they have to go to the canteen at 4:30 to prepare the food.

Seven or eight people squatted on the ground picking vegetables, while others were responsible for boiling ropes. Prison was a good place. Their life skills had been improved many times, and now even unnecessary experiences had been added. They thought that when they escaped and had no money, they could at least dig wild vegetables to fool themselves. Their stomachs that had experienced wind and rain could probably withstand the industrial pollution of groundwater absorbed by wild grass.

"I don't understand. What's the point of sending a bunch of people to get food poisoning?" Wei Nian gave up on himself and threw the cabbage into the basin. He felt that the only difference between him and the cabbage was that the purchasing staff yesterday didn't buy leeks. After all, Wei Nian was not confident about the balance in his bank card. He raised his head and struggled hopelessly, "Do we have to eat like everyone else?"

"Of course." Jiang Yi picked out the rope from the boiling water, "Otherwise, it would be obvious at a glance that we were the ones poisoning them."

The others followed closely behind, chopping it up with kitchen knives and throwing it into the fire to burn, with a clear division of labor and orderly manner.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the lunch bell rang in the cafeteria on time. Several teams lined up to get their meals. Ten people refused to have more rice at the same time. Time gradually came to half past eight. After the others finished their meals, they went to their assigned places to work. Because they had finished their work in the morning, they squatted idly in the playground, breathing the hot air wafting from the crematorium.

There is no option to leave the prison in the dangerous prison, and the prison guards and the warden do not care if there are fights or brawls, because there is no extra sentence for a fight. The medical room now is no longer the medical room it once was. The people are trained to perform first aid for amputations. Even if the ground collapses a few more times and someone falls into the cave, there is no need for the hospital ambulance to come all the way to pick them up.

Regardless of whether death is caused by suicide, illness, old age, accidents, or disability, the one-stop service from vertical entry to horizontal exit is very considerate.

Behind the razor wire fence not far from them, the jailer escorted a group of new inmates in. Today was Monday, and the prison should absorb fresh blood, otherwise the crematorium that worked every day would burn the prison empty sooner or later. The heavy door slowly closed behind them, and the new inmates looked fearless. They didn't know that what was waiting for them was surgery instead of a cell. The old man couldn't escape not because he had no ability but because he had no second life. Only one person didn't fit in with the surroundings. He licked his lips, his eyes wandering, nervous and expectant.

Wei Nian suddenly stood up.

This action attracted everyone's attention. Wei Hong, who was standing next to him, followed his gaze and saw an ordinary middle-aged man with a particularly suspicious expression. Wei Hong looked at him for a moment and then looked away: "An acquaintance of yours? Remember to remind him to control his expression. The guards around are about to take out the electric shock device."

"I barely know him." Wei Nian squatted down again. He felt dizzy and nauseous when he stood up just now. If it were usual, he would suspect hypoglycemia. Now he understood that it was food poisoning. So he summarized it succinctly, "The driver I met when I went out that day had a grenade hidden in his car. It seems that Ji Xu's new client is about to be negotiated."

Wei Hong shook his head and said with a sigh, "Driver? Oh, is your savings enough?"

Wei Nian did not talk to the driver because other people also began to feel uncomfortable. Within ten minutes, the prison noticed something was wrong and sounded the alarm. Some people with poor physical conditions were sent to the medical room while vomiting.

Ji Xu sent a message right on time: "Have you entered the medical room?"

"No." Wei Nian looked at the crowded crowd not far away, "I'm about to go in."

"Put the communicator beside you. Go into the medical room and close the door. I will send you a message every five seconds. If you don't receive it, come out and tell me. I need to confirm a certain hypothesis."

"I understand." Wei Nian said, and slid the communicator against his wrist. He rushed into the medical room, closed the door, pushed through the crowd of people in front of him who were swearing, and shouted with full energy, "Give me a bottle of saline first, I feel dizzy!"

The medical staff glanced at him and saw that Wei Nian looked pale but lively. They impatiently threw a bag of milk and saline solution at him and shouted back without even turning their heads: "Where did you get the help? Drink it yourself!"

Having successfully achieved the result that no one noticed in the chaotic infirmary, Wei Nian slipped to the curtain, poured saline solution into his mouth, and at the same time slid out the communicator using the concealment of the fabric.

“…”

Five seconds passed and Ji Xu did not send any new message.

The saline solution irritated the gastric mucosa, causing the stomach muscles to contract uncontrollably and making him want to vomit. Wei Nian left the medical room, and the people outside were scolding him for closing the door and blocking the way for people behind him to enter, but Wei Nian ignored them.

He vomited out his morning food into the toilet, washed his face in front of the mirror, and when he walked out, he opened the milk bottle and came to the shade of an empty tree. He held the milk bag in his mouth and said to the period that Ji Xu sent every five seconds without fail: "No, the medical room can block external signals."

"."

Ji Xu, who didn't have time to stop, asked another question: "Have the operations on the new batch of prisoners been completed?"

"Not in time." Wei Nian couldn't help but gloat when he mentioned this. "It will probably be postponed until the evening. The medical room will be very busy today."

"Sure enough, your surgery time is not fixed." Ji Xu said with certainty.

"Yes, there are a lot of cells waiting to be filled. It's hard to choose." Wei Nian made a joke and changed the subject, "I saw the driver. Is he your new client?"

"He has no money to buy the business, so I asked him to do a few things. Only if he succeeds can the deal be considered a done deal." Ji Xu said truthfully.

Wei Nian was furious and said, "What is it? Can't I do it? Why did he get away with it?"

"His request is to escape from prison." Ji Xu replied, "What you want is to remove the bomb and escape safely. The additional words are different, so of course the price is different."

hiss--

Didn't this guy even introduce the premium package when selling his business? Or was he sure the driver couldn't afford it?

Wei Nian thought about it and realized that the note stuck in the steamed bun only had seven words and a punctuation mark, and no other words were said. It was only when they mocked this service as useless and it was not that he could not escape but he was afraid of his heart exploding that Ji Xu took the initiative to propose a new package.

He understood that this guy was just trying to save trouble, and immediately said with conviction: "You really made this money in a dirty way."

Wei Nian threw away the milk and put away the communicator. He couldn't let it be discovered. As an old man who had been in the prison before it was renovated, the jailer had unnecessary confidence that Wei Nian would not be able to escape. In the slightly chaotic prison, he successfully took a bath in the pool with other prisoners with better physical fitness and returned to the cell.

The steam made Wei Nian dizzy. He pushed the door open and called for help weakly. He asked the jailer, with whom he had almost become familiar, for a new bag of milk. Wei Nian poured it into his mouth, lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and thought about Ji Xu's intention.

It was obvious that Ji Xu was testing the signal. The problem was the sentence "the time of the operation was not fixed". Why did Ji Xu need to know about this, unless he wanted to confirm the signal. This matter was related to the heart surgery.

Wei Nian suddenly jumped up.

He observed the corridor outside the railing. No one was patrolling. To be cautious, Wei Nian pulled the quilt over his head, faced the wall, and created a gap to play with his phone. His fingers quickly sent a message: "Can the bomb signal be reversed?"

"That's right, congratulations, you have discovered the most crucial point of this incident." Ji Xu exclaimed. His reply was so fast that it made people wonder if he always kept his phone in his hand. Or maybe Ji Xu was just waiting for Wei Nian to ask questions so as to judge whether he could carry out the next action.

Because Ji Xu quickly said, "Have a good rest and wait for my new notice."

Wei Nian suppressed his joy: "Okay!"

They waited for three days. The one-week deadline that Ji Xu had promised was getting closer and closer, and C's profile picture never lit up again. Occasionally, they couldn't help but suspect that Ji Xu wanted to abscond with the money. After all, the bank card had been unfrozen, and there was nothing they could do if Ji Xu ran away.

On Thursday morning, everyone opened their eyes and took out their phones as usual.

Ji Xu sent a message in the group chat: "Take out the copper wire from the light tube, twist it into strands and put it in the ratchet of the handcuffs. Remember to restore the light tube to its original shape. I don't need to teach you the rest, right?"

Just like controlling a character in a game, Ji Xu gave one instruction at a time. Others did not dare to change their methods at random, lest the purchased business fail. When the jailer unlocked the door and released the people, the light bulbs were hanging on the ceiling in good condition. They lined up obediently to go out.

Midway through work, Wei Hong sent a message to complain: “Where did we get the handcuffs?”

Ji Xu ignored him and said, "It will be there soon. All right, dear customers, I apologize for my disappearance a few days ago. Now you should go to the infirmary. Remember to take a few painkillers. I hope you can have an easier day today."

After saying that, Ji Xu changed the chat page. The default avatar on the other side kept jumping, and several messages were sent to him like a screen full of messages. The tone was full of obvious incoherence and strange expectations. The person who marked the driver said to Ji Xu: "Can you really help me escape?"

"Of course." Ji Xu said. He picked out the messy questions and summarized them, answering patiently, "Price? There are only these two actions. I won't give you anything you can't do. It will ruin my reputation. Didn't you already do one thing? Yesterday, you stuffed a note in the steamed bun and took it out after steaming it. The jailer didn't suspect the bun in your hand, right?"

"They just thought I wanted to have breakfast early." The driver certainly understood, but he didn't understand another thing, "But why put the steamed buns in the detention room? There was no one there, it was empty! When I slipped in, I was afraid that I would be the next unlucky person to be locked up."

"The fact is that you don't." Ji Xu said, "Just follow my instructions."

Above these conversations, in the initial blank area, after adding the default notifications of friends, the first one is the driver’s message for help.

Ji Xu finally got the helper he wanted, although the helper himself was not aware of his importance. Yesterday, he made his first request to the driver.

Ji Xu patiently taught him how to sneak into the crematorium after it was shut down during the day, find the mask in the trash can, pull out the wire, and how to pry open the cell door lock in the dead of night. He told him how many centimeters to push in, how to turn it, and what kind of sound it should make...

This is a skill that is impressive to his body.

As per Ji Xu's request, the driver avoided all patrolling prison guards according to the time. The skills provided by the simulator were quite useful. Ji Xu closed his eyes and used several pictures he had seen to conceive of the three-dimensional space of the dangerous prison. The driver didn't know that while he was trembling with fear to avoid the patrolling prison guards, Ji Xu was standing in a homestay not far from the prison. He faced the window and directed the driver which passage to take, whether to turn left or right, and how to avoid the blind spot of the surveillance and get to the solitary confinement room with an unlocked door, and then come back.

That thrilling yet safe operation gave the driver the courage to trust Ji Xu. If the new order had not been frightening, perhaps the driver would not have sent a bunch of messages trying to ease his anxious heart.

Because Ji Xu told him this morning: "At five o'clock, use the key I gave you to go to the warden's office and get the surgery certificate."

The driver knew a lot about the prison, but it wasn't much. Shudong wondered if he was spending all his energy on preparing for his future inmates. The driver said, "Is that the recast key you mentioned? It came from the warden's office? Okay, I understand, but won't the warden find out?"

"You have a lot of questions, Mr. Driver." Ji Xu said, "But don't worry, someone will help you lure the warden away and take the blame."
