Chapter 30: Deathly Silence and Distortion
Although Alba’s quick operations of the cracking device seemed to allow him to quickly remove the restrictions of the dog pen, the operation was actually quite cumbersome. After Li Nanke helped Alba remove the restrictions of the dog pen and then used the chainsaw sword to saw open the prison door, two-thirds of the fifteen-minute time limit had passed.

As time passed, Li Nanke’s sense of crisis gradually became stronger.

During this time, he kept his eyes on the prison bully on the ground. The body was completely motionless after death and did not immediately turn into a zombie. The electromagnetic interference and pulses that would have caused all electronic equipment to fail did not arrive.

This means that the forbidden object has not yet erupted its characteristics, or that the forbidden object has only erupted its second characteristic, but it is possible that the corpse transformation has a latent period and it will take a certain amount of time to break out.

Li Nanke said: “Be careful to cover up the yellow light of the dog circle that has gone out. Although this thing is still hanging around our necks for the time being, if someone observes closely, it will be easy to find clues. Then you and I will have to face a group of crazy death row prisoners.”

“Then can’t we wait until everyone dies before going out?”

“No, if you want to die, stay here.” After saying that, Li Nanke flipped his wrist and the chainsaw sword disappeared. “How many minutes will it take you to crack the elevator the guards are riding in?”

“Two minutes max.”

“Follow me, go!”

He strode out of the cell and ran quickly to the nearest small elevator.

In prison, prisoners have to take the stairs, and only prison guards can take the small elevator, which requires swiping an ID card to start the ride.

Li Nanke is now on the B13 floor. In the remaining time, he wants to reach the B50 floor at the bottom of the prison. It is too late to take the stairs, so he can only take the elevator.

Yes, the exit of this prison is not here at all. The only exit the prisoners know is in the mine at the bottom of the prison. There is a large freight elevator for transporting ore, which can go directly to the ground.

After the ore reaches the ground, it is transported to the space elevator and rises to the space station at the top of the sky, and finally transported to other planets by transport spacecraft.

The corridor outside the cell was extremely noisy. Many prisoners were fighting with each other and bleeding. Some had already suffered a mental breakdown and jumped over the corridor railings and fell to the bottom, becoming a pulp. Cries, curses, and wails were all released in the last moments of their lives.

The guards’ small elevator was located in a secluded corner of the corridor, where few prisoners gathered.

Under Li Nanke’s cover, Alba pried open the identity identifier, connected the cracking device and started the operation.

“If I had a portable optical computer, it wouldn’t take me even half a minute to crack this thing. But now this small cracking device has too low computing power. Sometimes it leaks electricity when I put it in my anus, and it hurts so much…”

Alba was very nervous and kept mumbling to himself in an attempt to relieve his tension.

Because he knew that they must not be discovered to be behaving strangely by others at this moment, otherwise the extremely sinister hearts of people would be enough to eat him alive!

After all, the prison is full of extremely evil criminals…

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard around the corner. Three tall and strong prisoners were jogging by. Seeing the two men blocking the small elevator and seemingly tinkering with something, they came towards them.

Alba’s body trembled, and the movements of his hands slowed down.

“Just keep going, and I’ll take care of the rest.”

Three tall and strong prisoners approached and were shocked to see Alba hacking the elevator.

“Hey, man, what are you doing?”

One of the prisoners stepped forward quickly, his eyes wandering around the necks of the two men. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, “Boss, the lights in their dog pen are off, hurry up and call someone over…”

Before he could finish his words, the buzzing sound of the high-speed rotating sawtooth suddenly broke out!

The sharp blade swept across the neck, and the sharp teeth easily tore the flesh, trachea, and carotid artery, and finally cut off the larynx.

The high-pressure blood pumped by the heart was finally no longer restrained. It spurted out from the carotid artery and bloomed into a cruel blood flower.

The prisoner opened his eyes wide, covered his neck with his hands, and could only make a “gurgling” sound of air leaking, and then collapsed to the ground.

Li Nanke did not give the other two death row prisoners any time to react. He strode forward and chopped off the enemy’s head with one sword, and then used another sword to knock the enemy who wanted to escape to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the three death row prisoners fell to the ground and lost their lives.

Alba withdrew his glances, and at the same time he was trembling with fear in his heart, he could not help but feel a sense of excitement. “Isn’t Michael in here for smuggling? How can he be so powerful? Killing three death row prisoners is like killing chickens.”

Although Li Nanke had shown him a little bit of his so-called superpowers before, it was nothing more than conjuring up a weird-looking chainsaw weapon. Without real combat testing, Alba always felt a little uneasy.

But now, he had only one thought in his mind: “I must hold on to this thigh tightly. As long as I follow him, I will definitely be able to escape!”

The elevator was soon cracked successfully, and the two entered the elevator. Li Nanke pressed the button for the B50 floor.

He had just killed three prisoners but had not gained any source energy. He wondered if it was because the enemies were not yet extraordinary creatures, that is, they had not turned into zombies, so he was unable to absorb source energy.

After the elevator’s long descent, the car door opened with a ding.

At this time, the fifteen-minute limit was approaching, and the two of them quickly ran from the elevator passage to the lobby on the ground floor.

The entrance to the underground mine is a large metal gate. The electronic panel next to the gate has been pried up and the exposed wires are flashing with electricity from time to time.

This caused the originally tightly closed gate to rise up to create a narrow gap that was big enough for people to squeeze through. Many prisoners gathered in front of the gate and scrambled to squeeze through the gap, as if they believed that as long as they escaped from the prison, they could eliminate the threat of the dog pen.

Li Nanke’s heart sank when he saw this situation. Alba was not the only one in the prison who was proficient in electronic cracking technology. Someone had already cracked the door of the mine and entered it, and he didn’t even close it!

More and more prisoners are crammed into the mines, which means the mines are no longer safe…

In the last moments of their lives, these death row prisoners had gone completely crazy. The scene was extremely chaotic. The prisoners who couldn’t squeeze into the crowd used makeshift weapons to kill people. The prisoners at the front, near the metal gate, also raised their butcher knives to the inmates who were squeezing into the gap of the gate, just because the people in front of them crawled too slowly…

Li Nanke did not rush forward, but looked at the electronic clock hanging in the hall and counted down silently in his heart.

“three”

“two”

“One”

“zero!”

Electric sparks burst out from the necks of countless prisoners, and lethal high voltage electricity swept through their bodies. Their bodies stiffened and twitched, and large numbers of people fell straight to the ground.

In an instant, all the noise, wailing, cursing, and shouting disappeared, and the entire Deep Pit Prison fell into absolute silence!

The Deep Pit Prison, which was filled with madness and chaos a second ago, was now completely silent, so quiet that one could even clearly hear one’s own heartbeat.

Even though Alba was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but take two steps back when he saw this situation. He felt dizzy and his temples were throbbing.

[Nightmare, you have completed key node one! ]

[Node Reward: Energy Crystal*1]

[Key Node 2: Escape from the Deep Pit Prison.]

At the same time, an invisible wave erupted from deep underground, quickly spreading throughout the body, like static electricity, making the skin slightly numb, pores tighten, and hair stand on end.

The wave swept across the countless corpses that were already completely dead, and seemed to cause some small, slight, and imperceptible horrible changes to the corpses.

Li Nanke clearly saw a corpse’s fingers move slightly, and the flesh and blood beneath the skin squirmed like many insects scurrying around, trying to change the original shape of the body…

And in the entire prison, there are as many as 100,000 such corpses!

His scalp was numb, and a bone-chilling chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He squeezed out two words from between his teeth towards the stunned Alba.

“Run!”

After saying that, he ran towards the metal gate without looking back. When passing by a corpse, he bent down and reached out to pick up a piece of ore that the prisoners had hidden.
