He thought he was going to lose something again, but fortunately it was all a false alarm.
For so long, Verak only broke down and shed tears on the last night when Lecter abused him. Today he tensed up, but could not control the hot tears falling from his cheeks: "Teacher."
"Why are you crying?" Keating stretched out his hand to wipe away Verak's tears, "We have succeeded and will be free. Those grand futures that could only be planned in a small prison cell are now allowed to be realized by you. You should be happy.
a little."
"I'm just because I'm happy..." Verak cried and laughed.
Keating knew that Verak was worried about him, and he also knew how important he was to a helpless man like Verak. He pulled Verak to him, and the two stood and hugged each other for the first time.
: "You did it, kid."
"Hmm." Verak's head rested on Keating's shoulder.
"You are really great, we should all thank you." Keating ruffled Verak's hair.
"Yeah." He closed his eyes and kept responding to Keating's words.
"I'll need you again, I believe you can do better." Keating patted Verak on the back, "The matter is not over yet, turn around."
Verak put a hand on Keating's shoulder, letting Keating support his body.
"Huh..." Verak buried his head and exhaled a long breath to relieve his unbearable emotions, "I am really happy to see you stand up and to see you alive."
After saying that, he covered his face with his hands, wiped it hard, turned around and looked at the prisoners who were looking at him with smiles.
Dawn asked knowingly: "Tell me, what should we do next?"
Verak and Dawn looked at each other and smiled: "The ship is probably arriving soon. I'll go talk to Adel."
"Let's go." Dawn turned sideways to make way for Verak.
Verak helped Keating, who was still struggling to walk, and everyone came to the cell where Adel and more than a dozen prisoners were imprisoned.
Adel finally showed a shocked expression when he saw Keating standing, his face unchanged even when the prison was under the control of prisoners, and then he had to admit: "It seems that your successful escape today is inevitable.
"
"Let's make one last deal." Verak raised his head slightly and looked at Adel, "You ask the prison guards guarding the last few doors outside to open them, and we don't have to kill you."
Now Verak and the others have not officially succeeded in escaping, because the last few doors are still blocked by prison guards. If Adel is cruel and would rather bring hundreds of prison guards to be buried with the prisoners than come forward to let the last ones open the door, they will also
There is no way.
"Is Lecter dead?" Adel asked.
"Yeah." Verak nodded.
"How are my people up there?"
"Most of them are still alive," Dawn replied.
Adel was silent for a few seconds: "Then open the door."
The prisoner in charge of holding the key looked at Verak and Dawn. After seeing both of them nodding, he stepped forward and opened the cell door, only letting Adel out. At the same time, he handed the key to the cell into Adel's hand.
superior.
After taking the key and going up to the first floor, he saw a mess, dead and injured, and chained prison guards. Adel said calmly: "No wonder you, the Equality Society, are able to fight against the government in Lezein."
With that said, Verak asked the prisoners who were in a stalemate with the prison guards at the last few doors to open the door closest to the exit that they controlled.
"I am Sharif Adel." Adel walked to the door and the prison guard on the other side of the door said, "The prison has been controlled by the prisoners. In order to make unnecessary sacrifices, please open the door and let them out."
"Warden?!" The prison guards on the other side of the door heard Adel's voice and thought they had once again suppressed the rioting prisoners, but it was just slower than before, but when they finished listening to Adel's words
After that, my heart sank to the bottom.
Adel breathed heavily: "Open the door."
"...Yes." The prison guards struggled to accept this impossible fact.
Verak and the others did not dare to let down their guard, so they arranged for more than a dozen prisoners to set up guns before opening the door to prepare for possible accidents at any time.
Soon, the first door in front of them was opened, the second door, the third door, and the fourth door were also opened, and the light from the exit shone on the face of every prisoner who came over. The prisoners started to stir,
The calm Dawn raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Sixteen prison guards lowered their weapons under Adel's order and allowed the prisoners to chain them.
At this point, the prison was completely controlled by the prisoners, and all that was left was to seize control of the ship that came to transport a new batch of prisoners and transport all the prisoners out.
"Dawn, you're injured. Just stay here and cut off the phone line, lead people to put all the prison guards in the cell, and then collect their clothes and money." Verak saw that Dawn was injured and decided to let him
He dealt with the aftermath, "I'll get the boat."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Dawn felt relieved about Verak and turned around to take Adel and the sixteen prison guards away.
Verak and Keating selected twenty prisoners, put on the clothes of prison guards, and pretended to be receiving prisoners and supplies normally. They also selected another fifty people to ambush around the dock, waiting for the ship to arrive.
At about twelve o'clock, a cargo ship sailed from the far side of the dock. Verak asked the prisoners in prison guard uniforms to stand in line with guns, and he and Keating were enjoying the sea breeze side by side.
"It's so big outside." Verak suddenly sighed like a country bumpkin at the vastness of the sea.
"Yeah..." Even Keating had not seen this boundless sea for two years. When he looked at it, he also felt that it was difficult to calm down.
When the two of them were feeling extremely emotional, the cargo ship didn't notice anything unusual, and it didn't have any concerns about this prison that had been impregnable for decades. It slowly docked in front of the dock.
When the connection board between the cargo ship and the dock was set up, Verak waved and took twenty prisoners on board: "Let's go and escort the prisoners out."
The prison guards had gone through the battle just now, and even if their mental quality was not high, they could now calm down and follow Verak aboard the ship in a decent manner.
The captain of the cargo ship passed by Verak and the prisoners who were on board, and while facing Keating who was standing on the dock, he wondered why Lecter was not here to receive it in person today: "This is the list of prisoners shipped this time, the cargo list, please
Take a look."
Keating took the list from the captain and was about to read it when suddenly several gunshots were heard on the ship, followed by shouts from the sailors.
"What's going on?" The captain heard the noise. Although he didn't know what happened, he thought it must be something bad and quickly boarded the ship to check the situation.
"There's no need to go up." Keating grabbed the captain's arm and raised his other hand. The fifty ambushed prisoners immediately sprang out from all directions and assisted Verak, who had boarded the ship, to control the sailors.
Except for two sailors who resisted desperately and were shot, and one jumped into the sea and disappeared without a trace, the rest were taken off the ship and tied aside.
"You..." The captain was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Prisoner, you have escaped from prison. Sit down." Keating patted the captain on the shoulder and asked him to stay with the other controlled sailors before boarding the ship to find Verak to check the situation.
"Teacher." Verak was wandering around the cabin, and when he saw Keating coming, he said hello, "If the cargo in the cabin is emptied, and everyone squeezes in, we should be able to take it away in one trip."
Keating looked around the cabin. The space was indeed large enough. After all, prison guards could be transported every time. It took nearly three thousand prisoners a month: "Then hurry up and move down. It's best if you can get away in one trip."
"Yeah." Verak walked to the deck of the ship and divided the prisoners below into two parts. One part guarded the sailors, and the other part came up to carry the cargo. He also selected another prisoner to inform the prison of the good news that the ship had been successfully captured.
Dawn in.
After receiving the news and following what Verak said, he arranged for all the prison guards to be properly located, destroyed the phone lines, and dug out more than a thousand sets of clothes belonging to the prison guards, Dawn rushed over with a large group of prisoners.
When they came over, Verak and the fifty or sixty people had almost moved all the goods to the nearby dock.
"Is everything going well?" Dawn asked.
"Everything goes well," Verak replied.
Dawn was completely relieved and pointed to the clothes brought by some of the prisoners in the back: "You want everyone to change into other clothes so that they can escape on land, right? But we searched the whole prison, police uniforms, and prison guards' civilian clothes.
, even the clothes that the prisoners changed into when they came before they had time to throw them away, the total number is more than a thousand sets, which is still not enough for everyone."
"Then we can only give priority to our core members and those who were injured during the escape. You can make arrangements for the rest." Verak raised his chin at the shivering sailors who were huddled together.
, "Those sailors' clothes can also be changed, as much as they can be mended."
"Okay." Dawn thought about how to arrange it so that the prisoners who did not receive clothes would be dissatisfied. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of it. It would be a huge miracle to get out anyway. If someone dared to talk to him about such a trivial matter as clothes,
If he found trouble and started a fight, he would just go up and punch him twice.
"The cabins are all emptied." After the prisoner finished moving the last cargo, he reported to Verak, Keating, and Daunhui who were standing together.
"Organize everyone to board the ship." After Verak and Dawn finished speaking, they walked towards the captain and the sailors, "As long as you take us back to land, we won't kill you."
The captain knew that they had no choice. Regardless of whether Verak could keep his word, they had no choice but to do it even if they wanted to live longer. As for whether they would be responsible for transporting the prisoners out, he didn't want to think about it.
, even Damans Prison can be breached, and the accountability will never be traced to him.
After easily convincing the captain and sailors, everyone boarded the cargo ship. Verak made sure that no one of his own was left behind, so he randomly selected a sailor to stay and asked him to rescue the prison guards, and then ordered the captain to take them back to land.
: "Just go to that seaport and stop, your mission will be completed."
Verak was deeply impressed by the harbor. The harbor was not big and there was only a small town next to it. Even if they were discovered in the past, the town could not organize any force to suppress them.
"Split the money!" Verak came to the cabin and took out the money that Dawn had collected. "No matter how much it is, everyone has a share. The injured can get more. When we get to the dock, we will go our separate ways.
"
Although Verak established deep relationships with many prisoners during the two months he lived in Damans Prison, most of their contacts were based on the escape plan. This does not mean that they are like-minded, let alone
It means we can work together in the future.
"After you get out, you must be careful. Our escape from prison can't be kept secret for long. When the government finds out, it will definitely hunt us down vigorously. I don't want anyone to end up in that shabby place not long after they get out!" Dawn warned everyone.
Verak didn't bother running to the deck to admire the ordinary but long-awaited scenery. He had no time to immerse himself in the joy of freedom. He personally distributed money to each prisoner. When he came to Ross, he had handed out ten silver grams.
Finally, he gave an additional five silver grams: "This is part of my money."
"You..." Rose planned to share the joy with Verak, but was speechless after taking the fifteen silver grams of money.
"When we get to the dock, everyone will disperse. I hope you can return to Lezein safely, or hide in other places anonymously. In short, you can be free and play the piano again and be your musician." Put half of yourself.
The money was handed over to Ross, and Verak didn't say much and continued to send it to the back.
After paying out the money, Verak and Keating came to the deck: "Teacher, teach me how to use a gun."
"You still don't know how?" Keating felt that Verak should know how to use weapons after going through so much.
"I haven't used it yet." Verak tried his best not to think about Colin.
"Hold it first." Keating handed Verak a gun and helped him adjust his gun-holding posture. "Look here, align your eyes to form a straight line, aim at the position you want to shoot, and pull the trigger."
Verak glanced at a random position: "Just pull the button, right?"
"Um."
"Bang!"
A shot was fired, and due to the recoil, Verak was pushed against the body by the gun butt.
"Don't be too tight. Try a few more shots." Keating supported Verak.
Verak fired a few more shots in succession, slowly finding the feeling through practice.
"It's that simple. Of course, shooting accuracy takes a long time to develop." After Verak finished shooting a magazine of bullets, Keating introduced him to how to load bullets, how to load the gun, etc.
.
Verak studied hard.
By the time the cargo ship returned to the dock, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Verak and Keating first brought a group of prisoners in prison uniforms down, and after confirming the safety of the dock, they greeted everyone down.
More than two thousand people gathered on the pier, which is usually not very busy, and soon attracted the attention of some fishermen on the pier and nearby residents. Seeing the crowd of prison guards, prisoners, and sailors mixed together, they couldn't figure out what it was.
Condition.
"Don't worry about the people nearby. If you get off the boat, hurry up! Be careful! Don't hurt others! Cherish this opportunity! We are destined to meet again!" Although Verak was the first to get off the boat, he did not leave directly with Keating.
Welcoming everyone off the boat and watching them leave one by one.
"Verak." Finally, Dawn and Ross, who had changed into casual clothes, were about to say goodbye to Verak and Keating.
"Go see your family and play your piano." Verak stretched out his arms to hug Dawn and Ross.
"You too, do your business." Dao En said, "I will pay attention to the news of the Equality Association and wish you success."
"Thank you, Verak." Ross cried bitterly.
"Let's go." Dawn nodded to Verak and Keating, and ran away alone.
Verak smiled back and pushed Ross deeper into the continent: "Go!"
Watching the two of them go away, Verak took a long breath and said, "Teacher, let's go too."
"Hmm." Keating looked around and determined the location, "Lazein is over there."
Verak looked in the direction pointed by Keating, put a pistol on his waist, first went to the nearest house, exchanged two silver grams for two sets of casual clothes without any explanation, and then rushed towards the distant Lezein.
