Chapter 055 Prison Break Simulator

"He didn't even know what he stole." Wei Nian repeated in a dark tone, "Not only did he not understand, he even called it a piece of scrap paper!"

He opened his hands in disbelief and waved them around. "Oh my God, is there anyone in the world who is blinder than him? His eyesight was used up in the test. I wish I could frame the surgery certificate and hang it on the wall, put it together with the seasonal photos every day, and burn three incense sticks every night!"

The companion stepped away a few steps to avoid being hit.

They were impatient, and one of them echoed the other: "I can sense your enthusiasm for Ji Xu. Please calm down. I don't want to hear you tell me how you met for the seventh time. Is next to a garbage dump a good place? I also don't want to hear how you justify posting the wanted poster on the wall - to be honest, you seem sick."

Wei Nian was quiet for a few minutes, then quickly said, "I was afraid that Ji Xu wouldn't recognize our faces, so I hid him. But I didn't expect Ji Xu didn't care about hiding his identity. Ahem, what I meant is, if I could go back to the past, I would definitely be more respectful."

He was talking to himself quietly, mumbling inaudibly.

"But I didn't do anything wrong, did I? I even gave him a gun for self-defense, but it was a pity that Ji Xu refused to accept it. If I had known this, I would have agreed when he hinted that I could look for him after I got out of prison."

As we were talking, the topic went off track again.

The crowd, tired of hearing him, just ignored him and said, "It's okay. You can grab another one. Can you hurry up? Ji Xu asked us to get the ping-pong balls."

Wei Nian snorted, "It's not me who's going to get it anyway."

Wei Hong looked worried. He was not as happy as the others after seeing the certificate. His thoughts were in a mess: "There is only one certificate for the operation. What should we do? We must leave at the same time, otherwise the rest of us will not survive."

Jiang Yi said: "Wait for Ji Xu's news, he will find a way to solve it."

She knew how to boost confidence in despair, perhaps because of her previous career, and consoled people by saying, "At least these four days of action are equivalent to our many years of planning."

They quickly came to the entrance of the passage, each of them carrying a communicator. Ji Xu's message was much shorter than usual, but still well-organized and with clear steps. Wei Nian and Jiang Yi had their own tasks. Everyone looked at each other and untied the copper wire and gave it to Jiang Yi.

The three groups of people turned into different roads.

Jiang Yi's destination was the nearest, and she didn't meet the wandering driver. She didn't know where he was going. Jiang Yi didn't care, but found a work site nearby, stretched out the copper wire, inserted one end deep into the equipment, and the other end into the power socket, then stepped back a few steps and pulled down the joystick.

Buzzing sound.

Less than three seconds after the instrument was started, a short circuit occurred, smoke began to form, and sparks flew out.

Jiang Yi turned around and ran out, changing the venue and equipment, and repeated the same trick. While the jailer was not able to react, a faint ray of smoke slowly rose in the night sky of the factory.

Wei Hong led the rest of the people straight to the cell. The two sides of the cell were facing each other. The criminals who had not slept at all were chatting and cursing with each other, and were talking energetically about the alarm being sounded this afternoon. The moment they came in, a group of people immediately turned their attention to them, shouting the names of Wei Hong and others, asking them how they slipped out.

Wei Hong yelled back, "Shut up! Don't attract the jailer here!"

The voices of questioning and mocking suddenly stopped for a few seconds, and then suddenly became more intense, as if a tsunami was sweeping in, all noisily crowding together, "What do you want to do?" "Why are you afraid of the jailer? You can't get out without the key." "Are you the ones who stole the warden's things today?" "I heard a gunshot, is it related to you?"

He had a headache after hearing so many "you"s. Among them, one sentence was particularly loud and clear: "Do you want to escape from prison?!"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Wei Hong glanced coldly at the people with different expressions, and suddenly smiled maliciously, "You are right. Are you interested in purchasing C's prison break business? Quick response and timely processing, look, we are running out now."

Tin foil is difficult to find in prison, so Ji Xu asked them to wrap the ping-pong balls with toilet paper. At this point, everyone understood what Ji Xu wanted to do. Wei Hong no longer paid attention to the inmates who were banging on the iron bars and asking questions and demanding contact information. He turned around and headed towards Jiang Yi with the things.

It happened that Jiang Yi was carrying a few branches with sparks on them, so they lit the ping-pong ball fragments and ran around the prison with them.

The material used to make ping-pong balls is commonly known as celluloid, which sounds similar to the well-known celluloid painting style in the field of painting. In fact, they both originate from the same plastic material, but one uses it for painting and the other uses it to make ping-pong balls.

This plastic material, also known as cellulose nitrate, releases a lot of white smoke when burned. Just like smoke bombs, it produces a lot of toxic gases. If humans inhale it without protection, they will suffer from nausea, vomiting, and nerve paralysis. However, Ji Xu had them thrown into empty buildings and corners of woods to disguise it as a fire.

The eight of them scattered and ran around in unison, howling: "Fire! Fire!"

Wei Nian, who heard the noise from afar, turned around and looked up. He was still on his way, but when he saw several streams of white smoke rising behind him, he stopped unconsciously. Thinking of Ji Xu's instructions, he broke the glass with a stone, grabbed a piece through the cloth, and ran to the vicinity of the electrical box.

The two guards were pacing around with frowns on their faces, discussing in low voices with annoyed tones: "Did someone set the fire?"

"There were no victims attacked, so it must be someone deliberately causing a riot."

Wei Nian himself could not beat the two men armed with stun guns and batons. He felt a little regretful that he should have smuggled a pistol in earlier. Even if it would be damaged, it could still serve as a threat.

Ji Xu sent the message in time.

"Turn right."

Wei Nian stepped back without hesitation, turned around and ran.

“Stop.”

He slammed the brakes, and seven seconds later, a team of prison guards with cold faces ran over.

"After five minutes, walk to the second fork in the road and turn."

Wei Nian stayed where he was, waiting anxiously. Teams of jailers were passing through the intersection ahead. He didn't know when they would be cleared out. Suddenly, out of some kind of fear of a premonition of his natural enemy, Wei Nian held his breath.

Knock knock knock.

The impressive sound of heels hitting the floor was clear, and the warden was walking by in the distance, and his voice came from afar: "How's the distribution box?"

Wei Nian dared not move, not even to breathe, he clung to the wall, Ji Xu's messages occasionally appeared in the group, thanks to the silence of the communicator, Wei Nian was not exposed. A jailer nearby answered, "Everything is normal."

"Huh?" The warden made a surprised sound, "That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't C want to play a game with me?"

"..." No one responded, and the warden asked coldly: "Since the other prisoners who caused the chaos can't be caught, where did that idiot go?"

The jailer who checked the locator immediately said, "He hid in the cafeteria. Everywhere else there was rioting. Only a few buildings were safe."

At the same time, the driver who ran into the cafeteria asked Ji Xu: "Do I really have to stay here forever?"

Unlike the others who were brief and concise, Ji Xu was particularly talkative when answering him, just like in the past, as if he had the overall situation in control: "If you want to leave, go ahead. I won't restrict your freedom. If you want to go out and help my other clients, I am willing to provide you with an action plan."

The driver quickly refused. He had just won the warden's trust and didn't want to stand out in this situation: "No, no, no, forget it. I want to stay here."

"As you wish."

No one noticed the coldness between the lines of Ji Xu's words. After all, he always responded to requests as usual, and even seemed to kindly remind him: "Now that things have come to this, go and lock the door, so that your presence will not disturb the plans of my other clients."

The driver ran downstairs thoughtfully. He picked up a fork, inserted the saw teeth into the keyhole, and stirred it hard to damage the lock core.

…

Five minutes later, the warden walked away and Wei Nian walked out with difficulty breathing. Remembering Ji Xu's previous instructions, he stumbled towards the second fork in the road.

Every person who fled separately followed the guidance of Ji Xu, either retreating, advancing, or staying in the shadows to ambush. They briefly burst out with powerful fighting power, and the difficulty level rose sharply. The fire in the factory swept to the surrounding buildings, and the burning electrical appliances could not be extinguished with water. In order to avoid conductivity, it was very difficult to control.

Reporting to the warden, he said in a light tone mixed with a smile of anger: "It doesn't matter, just tear down the nearby buildings. After all, this is a mess caused by the prison break. Next, let other prisoners rebuild it. Otherwise, we have to feed them for free every day, right?"

The jailers did not dare to ask what to do with the prisoners who caused the trouble, as the intact crematorium was still waiting for them. Upon receiving the order, the jailers acted quickly and called in various large vehicles used for decoration in previous years. In the light of the fire, everyone was filled with cold anger.

On the other side, following Ji Xu's instructions, Wei Nian circled around and unexpectedly reached the vent above the jailer's head. He removed the zipper on his prison uniform, unscrewed the screw with the round end of the zipper, and followed Ji Xu's instructions, dropping down as fast as thunder: "Jump!"

“Boom boom—”

Almost at the same time, the sound of buildings collapsing as bulldozers pushed them down could be heard, hitting the ground one after another, covering up some noises that shouldn't have occurred.

The jailer's sixth sense of danger was sounding an alarm. He raised his head and a vent grille enlarged in his sight. Wei Nian swooped down and hit one of them hard on the head. Then he turned around and quickly took care of the second person. The sound of the building collapsing had stopped. Wei Nian supported the backs of the two men and gently placed them on the ground.

He stepped over their limp bodies and removed the cover of the distribution box. During this time, several prison guards passed by the fork in the road. Not far away, the relief team of guards were loudly asking about the situation of other teams. No one noticed that after a few seconds of noise, a prisoner who shouldn't have been there appeared here.

After removing the cover of the distribution box, a faint smell of burnt electricity came from the switch. Occasionally, a few flashes of electricity appeared under the worn insulator. If he touched it directly, he might get dizzy. Wei Nian's expression remained unchanged. He grasped the glass fragments that Ji Xu asked him to prepare in advance, and cut the wires with force.

All the light outside the window was annihilated in an instant, as if swallowed up by an invisible black hole. Only a few special buildings remained, emitting faint and shaky points of light.

Under Ji Xu's guidance, the three groups of people were busy with their own tasks. Jiang Yi caused a short circuit, Wei Hong led his men to light smoke bombs, and in the chaos, they pretended to have a fire. Wei Nian did not waste any time and immediately cut off the wires. It seemed like in just ten minutes, the quiet prison suddenly rioted, filled with flames, shouting, rubble, and fists and feet.

Not long after the riot broke out, a prison guard who went to the prison to inspect the situation received a call. He was originally there to take over order urgently, but when he arrived at the scene, he saw only a group of people arguing noisily across the iron bars, throwing shoes at each other.

Standing in the middle of the passage, the jailer reported in confusion: "Sir, no one escaped. According to them, the guys who were previously locked up in the solitary confinement room slipped out, but the question is, where did they get the key?"

“…”

"It's obvious," the warden said in a terrifyingly light tone, staring at the locked door of the cafeteria in the silence that did not receive an answer. "The new friend we just met today has a very wide range of business, not just one or two clients, and he calculates the time of each operation accurately. It's better to say, how did he contact the prisoners under my jurisdiction?"
