Chapter 109: Fighting for the power to change the world
"If you can really keep your promise, you might be able to stay here forever." Keating showed a satisfied smile and lifted his legs up to lie down on the bed. "It's lunch break, let's take a rest."
The prisoners were all taken to work, and now it was a rare moment of peace. Keating planned to use this time to take a good rest.
Verak was still standing at the door, holding on to the railing.
"If we don't rest now, we won't be able to sleep when they come back." Keating closed his eyes and reminded Verak, "Although they should come back and fall asleep after working all day, there is always a group of lunatics who can always be active."
"Mr. Keating, don't we have some time to relax?" Verak let go of his hand on the railing and looked at Keating, who was resting with his eyes closed.
The prison guard had clearly said before that there was a fixed time for relaxing every day, but Verak did not see the column for relaxing in the schedule of this cell. There was only a daily washing time and a meal time, and there was no permission to leave the underground room at all.
Give the layer a chance to breathe.
"No," Keating said, "I haven't left here for two years.
"Why? I remember the prison guard said that there was a break." Verak and Keating lived together, so naturally there was no break time because he had to take care of Keating. And if there was no chance of a break, he couldn't explore the terrain.
, laying a solid intelligence foundation for his jailbreak plan.
Keating snorted lightly and said with great disdain: "It's just a small means to blur the purpose of time."
This is not exactly the same as Blurred Time, and the no-shows are obviously aimed at Keating personally.
Verak had a guess, but before telling his guess, he still asked a question: "I am staying in cell 208 with you, am I not allowed to go on a break?"
"Who will take care of me when you leave?"
The guess seemed to be somewhat certain. Verak said: "Are the others unable to stay here because they are too panicked?"
The prisoners in this cell can only move around in the lifeless basement for a short period of time for reasons such as bathing and going to the toilet. For most of the time, they cannot even leave the small cell.
There is no opportunity to step onto the first floor and be exposed to the sun. There is no opportunity to interact with other people and share knowledge with each other to pass the time.
Just thinking about it makes me despair.
Even Verak felt that this place was not good enough. Staying here would provide temporary comfort, but it would also cut off his hope of escaping from prison.
"That's probably the reason." Keating admitted, but saying this also meant that there was more to it than that.
"What else?" Verak smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"You will know soon, that will be your first test." Keating was very calm and did not reveal the most important thing at all, leaving Verak to rack his brains and think wildly, "Get some rest.
, I can see that you are also very tired."
Verak breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down his mood, and returned to the upper bunk.
During this period of travel, he was really tired. On the way to escort, his vision went dark several times, and he almost fell down. But after taking a cold shower, he became much more awake, and with the swarm of troubles coming, he felt very tired.
If you don't give him a breathing space, he has no intention of resting now.
With no clue about the prison break or Keating's secret, Verak's mind jumped to another thing.
I don’t know what will happen to Equality far away in Lezein.
He was very worried about the people in the Equality Association.
Although Boyin was safely sent out by defrauding Rock Shriver's trust, this did not give the Equality Society any advantage. Bressey's security department and the intelligence organization 'Reef' were still so difficult to deal with, and the Equality Society's situation
Still serious.
On September 25, the World Exposition officially opened.
There are still thirteen days left.
On September 23, delegations from various countries arrived one after another.
There are still eleven days left.
"Hold on."
Verak said in his heart to the comrades of Boyin and the Equality Society in the distance.
This action is of great significance to the Equality Association. On the one hand, it has been emphasized countless times that we can use the World Expo and delegations from other countries to spread the ideas and concepts of the Equality Association and sow the seeds of awakening to the world. On the other hand,
On the other hand, this is the first time that the Equality Association has strongly fought back against the government.
It means that equality will no longer remain a naive delusion, hoping that the government can change.
Under the leadership of a group of young people who are forward-thinking and ambitious, the Equality Association will embark on a new path.
Since it is impossible for the government to adopt their opinions, then take the power to change the world away from them!
This road is more difficult, so difficult that every step forward will leave bright red footprints. But this is a road that must be walked, a narrow escape, the least hope, and the only hope.
Thinking about the next direction of the Equality Society, Verak had a lingering feeling of fear. He was very fortunate that as a leader who knew nothing, he not only did not hinder the Equality Society, but also pushed them into the opposite direction by accident.
The right path.
He doesn't know what the future will be like yet, but what he did in the new two months feels very valuable - even though his end was not satisfactory in the end.
"Ha..." Verak let out an inaudible chuckle, and his eyes became brighter in the darkness.
Thinking of the Equality Association, which was also struggling, the heavy feeling in his heart was swept away, and he somehow gained the strength to persevere.
No one has successfully changed the world to achieve complete peace, beauty, unity, and equality.
But he believes equality will succeed.
Likewise, no prisoners made it out of Dymans Prison alive.
But he believed he would be the first to get out alive.
Drowsiness returned, and Verak no longer thought about it. He wanted to take a good rest to regain his strength and energy.
After stretching his body a little, Verak closed his eyes and fell asleep.
——
"Chris."
"Chris."
Verak has always been a light sleeper. This is a habit developed in Lezein. As long as he hears the slightest movement, he will immediately wake up to investigate the situation.
However, he was so tired these past few days, and his body and mind were suffering so much that Keating called him several times to get him out of sleep.
"Well... Mr. Keating..." Verak blinked his eyes quickly, stood up subconsciously, and hit his head heavily on the ceiling, "Hiss..."
"It's almost time for dinner, come on down." Keating said.
"...Okay..." Verak covered his dizzy head and waited for nearly half a minute before climbing down from the upper bunk.
Keating heard the noise just now, saw Verak still rubbing his forehead, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay... I'm still not used to it. The space is too small..." Verak came to the door and looked outside. There was no movement outside. The other prisoners should still be working. "Are we going to the cafeteria to eat?"
"The prison guard will deliver it to the door of the cell, and you are responsible for bringing the meal to me."
