The fat man was furious!
Look at how well he's doing in jail! He can take a walk anywhere and even get good food! I, on the other hand, can't even get a cigarette!
With a sudden surge of determination, he threw the chocolate into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times as if to vent his anger, and then swallowed it with a gulp.
Then……
A few seconds later, with a thud, the fat man fell straight down, lay on the cold ground, and started snoring.
The fat man had several vivid dreams during his sleep, as if he had slept for a very long time. When he woke up, his back and legs ached. He rubbed his shoulders and sat up abruptly.
The small, dark room had no windows, and it was impossible to tell what time it was; the person was simply peering longingly out from behind the iron door.
I couldn't help but recall last night... Could it really have been a dream?
But there's still a lingering chocolate taste in my mouth—that can't be fake.
The fat man couldn't help but feel resentful!
Hmph! Why should I?! That person can come out and about as he pleases, while I'm stuck in a dark room!
With those thoughts in mind, he pressed his hands against the iron gate...
(If only I could open this door and go for a stroll...)
The prison gates were all electronic locks, not the old-fashioned kind. The fat man was seething with resentment when he suddenly heard a soft "click!"
The sound startled him, and he jumped up immediately!
Then, the fat man's eyes widened—
The massive iron gate in front of us... the lock automatically disengaged, and the gate slowly opened!
The fat man stared intently at the open doorway.
"Holy crap, are there really gods out there?!"
Chapter 46 [Big Brother, I think this is a misunderstanding]
The corridor was quiet. The guard room was at the very end of the corridor and was an electronic control room that could control the doors of all the cells in the corridor.
The fat man cautiously crept out along the wall, feeling both excited and scared—could the door lock be malfunctioning?
Yeah, that must be it... These high-tech gadgets always have problems. The computer of the son of the owner of the small restaurant where I used to work crashed all the time.
As he strolled to the end of the corridor, the fat man's heart pounded—if he were caught by the guards, would they think he had escaped from prison?
But the cell door opens automatically!
At the end of the corridor was a large iron gate. The fat man hid around the corner, looking into the guard cell outside. It was empty; there was no one there! There were lights in the guard cell, and a boxed lunch was on the table.
Mustering his courage, the fat man tiptoed to the door. The gate in front of him was tightly closed. He tried to pull it with a glimmer of hope, but finally gave up: it was locked.
It seems that only the door to his solitary cell was broken.
But I was reluctant to go back like this, so I mustered my courage and kept chanting in my heart: "May Buddha protect me, open the door, open the door quickly... open the door quickly, open the door quickly..."
Reaching out to touch it again...
Perhaps it was a hallucination caused by extreme tension, but when the fat man felt his hand gripping the gate, he felt as if he were being electrocuted. His whole body was filled with excitement and agitation, and he trembled slightly.
finally……
Click!
To the fat man, this soft sound was like heavenly music!
The red light on the electronic door lock turned green...
It's open again!
May the gods protect us!
The fat man knelt down devoutly and kowtowed to the heavens.
Most of the prisoners were unaware that at that very moment, a fat man was kneeling and kowtowing in the corridor of solitary confinement. Only…
Just as the fat man was thanking heaven that the cell doors opened automatically, in the main detention area of the prison, in the massive three-story building with over four hundred electronic doors to the cells, all of them suddenly opened at the same time!
All the red lights turned into green lights, allowing unimpeded passage!
Many prisoners who stayed up all night were stunned by this scene!
Soon, after a brief moment of surprise, some of the bolder ones rushed out! To their even greater delight, not only were the individual cell doors open, but all the doors leading to the outside corridor were also wide open!
The prisoners, initially shocked, quickly erupted in excitement!
"Run!!!!!"
At 3 a.m., chaos erupted in the prison! For some unknown reason, all the electronic equipment malfunctioned simultaneously, and all the cell doors and corridor doors leading outside were wide open!
This caught the prison guards completely off guard! As hundreds of prisoners rushed out like madmen, the guards who were originally patrolling in twos and threes were quickly overwhelmed by these bloodthirsty prisoners and drowned in the tide of escapees!
The alarm blared quickly, and the guards on the watchtower reluctantly fired warning shots. But the crazed prisoners all had one thought in their minds: everyone else is running, and it would be stupid not to run! What's the big deal about firing a gun! I might not be so unlucky as to get hit!
Some serious criminals, in particular, rushed out regardless of the consequences!
Meanwhile, the fat man, unaware of what he had done, cautiously and tentatively ran out of the confinement area.
