Chapter 829: Chapter 834: Prison Break (2)
Shortly after Qin Genglong and the others left, Ling Chen quickly walked to another iron gate on the playground and knocked on it.
As the iron gate opened, Tang Guolun poked his head out and asked, "How about it, is it safe now?"
"With me here, you can rest assured. Hurry up and let’s go, there’s no time to waste."
"Alright."
Tang Guolun nodded and called out to the people behind him. Immediately, more than twenty men and women followed him out from the iron gate.
Seeing so many people, Ling Chen couldn’t help but be stunned and hurriedly pulled Tang Guolun aside, whispering, "Didn’t I tell you to bring as few people as possible, preferably none? With so many people, how can we escape?"
Tang Guolun replied helplessly, "I didn’t have a choice. Initially, I only planned to take four or five people, but then I thought, this one is talented, so is that one, and I couldn’t bear to leave anyone behind. In the end, it added up to this number. You know I’m a person who values talent, and watching them waste their lives here, I really can’t stand it."
Ling Chen was speechless at such words. These people brought by Tang Guolun were all criminals; are they really going to rescue them?
As Ling Chen hesitated, urgent footsteps sounded from not far away. Needless to say, it must be the prison security guards.
Never mind! If we keep stalling like this, no one will get out.
"Boss Tang, have your people behave and don’t cause trouble for me," Ling Chen warned.
"Don’t worry, with me here, they’ll be sure to behave."
"Alright, let’s go then."
Passing through the playground, Ling Chen and his group entered the corridors inside the prison. They hadn’t gone far before they saw Qin Genglong and Wu Zhaofeng hiding in a corner.
"Old Qin, Mr. Wu, what’s going on?" Ling Chen quickly caught up and asked.
Qin Genglong pointed to the corner and said, "See for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen immediately looked out from the corner. Instantly, about twenty meters away, he saw a checkpoint with security guards holding riot shields, forming a solid defense line. Behind the line, several guards held assault rifles, aiming at the corner. If anyone appeared, bullets would mercilessly pierce their body.
"Ling Chen."
Just then, Yu Peng’s voice echoed throughout the prison: "I advise you to surrender quickly and stop resisting pointlessly. I have sealed the whole prison, and you can’t escape."
"Really?" Ling Chen smiled faintly, looking at the surveillance camera at the corner, said, "Yu Peng, things depend on people. At the last moment, you’d better not jump to conclusions."
Yu Peng coldly shouted, "Ling Chen, I’ve already shown you lots of respect. If you dare to take one more step, I’ll immediately order to fire. By then, not only you but everyone won’t leave alive."
"You want to kill me? Let’s see if you have the ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chen lunged forward, lightly drawing his longbow. With a ’whoosh,’ an arrow shot out, directly hitting the wrist of a gun-holding man.
Seeing this scene on the surveillance camera, Yu Peng said coldly, "Ling Chen, I admit your archery is great, but how many arrows do you have left? Do you think you can kill all the people in my prison with those few arrows?"
"You haven’t tried, so how do you know I can’t do it? Yu Peng, don’t underestimate people."
After finishing speaking, Ling Chen lunged forward again, firing another arrow, accurately causing another security guard to lose the ability to hold his gun.
After consecutively bringing down two security guards, the remaining ones dared not show their heads, hiding behind the riot shields. Seeing this, Ling Chen smiled to himself, his body suddenly darting out from the corner, fast as lightning.
By the time the guards behind the shields reacted, Ling Chen had already charged in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, several security guards were all put down, groaning constantly on the ground.
"Old Qin, take these riot shields; they might come in handy later." With that, Ling Chen picked up an assault rifle from the ground, looked at the surveillance camera on the wall, and grinned, "Yu Peng, thanks for the weapon."
"Bastard!"
In the control center, Yu Peng angrily threw the walkie-talkie on the ground, shouting at the staff beside him, "Notify everyone not to use guns. Also, send Liu Kui and his people immediately to support; we must stop Ling Chen."
With the help of riot shields, they advanced all the way, encountering almost no resistance and easily breaking through four checkpoints. However, Ling Chen knew that successfully escaping Yan City Prison would still take time. Moreover, the further they went, the more difficult it would be. Yu Peng had been operating Yan City Prison for quite some time, and he surely had backup plans.
Bam! Bam!
Accompanied by the clanging of metal, Qin Genglong said dejectedly, "No way, this door is too sturdy; it can’t be smashed open."
Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help casting his gaze towards Wu Zhaofeng. Without Ling Chen speaking, Wu Zhaofeng understood his intention. Immediately, Wu Zhaofeng walked to the armored door, took a deep breath, and raised his palms to his chest.
Suddenly, Wu Zhaofeng let out a light shout, his palms fiercely struck the armored door.
But despite Wu Zhaofeng’s full exertion, the armored door didn’t budge, not even leaving a trace.
It didn’t break?
Ling Chen was taken aback—Wu Zhaofeng had the highest martial arts among them, and even he couldn’t break the armored door, so he definitely couldn’t do it.
This truly was troublesome.
"Ling Chen, why don’t you let us handle this." At this moment, Tang Guolun walked over with a man.
"Can you do it?" Ling Chen asked, half-believingly.
"Are you kidding? This isn’t difficult at all." Tang Guolun replied confidently, "These armored doors are controlled by the control center’s computer system. As long as you find the wiring, you can easily crack it." Saying this, Tang Guolun gave the man beside him a look, who immediately walked to the armored door and used a homemade dagger to pry open the box beside the door.
Watching the man’s actions, Ling Chen whispered, "Boss Tang, are you really sure?"
"Rest assured," Tang Guolun patted his chest, promising, "Don’t forget, Yu Peng lured me into the prison under the guise of hiring me, hoping I could find vulnerabilities in the prison. Before coming, naturally, I did some homework, like understanding Yan City Prison’s security systems and facilities. If I wasn’t prepared, did you really think I’d agree to Yu Peng so easily?"
Hearing this, Ling Chen was much relieved.
Click!
In less than two minutes, there was a soft sound, and the armored door slowly opened from the middle.
It’s done!
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and he stepped forward. However, as soon as he passed through the armored door, Ling Chen’s expression turned serious, looking ahead.
