Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 164 Return to Laizein

  Verak wept with joy, unable to speak.

  He thought he was going to lose something again, but fortunately everything was a false alarm.

   For so long, Veraker only broke down and shed tears during the last night when Lecter abused him. Today he was tense, but he couldn't control the hot tears falling from his cheeks: "Teacher."

"Why are you crying?" Keating stretched out his hand to wipe away tears for Veraker, "We are successful, and we 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 happy to..." Verak laughed and cried.

Keating knew that Veraker was worried about him, and also knew how important he was to a helpless person like Veraker. He pulled Veraker in front of him, and the two embraced standing for the first time : "You did it, kid."

   "Yeah." Verac's head rested on Keating's shoulder.

   "You are really good, we should all thank you." Keating rubbed Verac's hair.

   "Hmm." He closed his eyes and kept responding to Keating's words.

   "I still need you next, I believe you can do better." Keating patted Veraker on the back, "The matter is not over yet, turn around."

  Verak put one hand on Keating's shoulder, and asked Keating to support his body.

   "Huh..." Verak lowered his head and exhaled a long breath, soothing his rare emotions. "I'm really happy to see you standing up and alive."

   After finishing speaking, he covered his face with his hands, wiped it vigorously, turned around, and looked at the prisoners who were looking at him with smiles on their faces.

  Dawn asked knowingly: "Tell me, what should we do next?"

  Villac and Dawn looked at each other and smiled: "The ship is probably coming soon, I'll talk to Adel."

   "Go." Dawn turned sideways, making way for Veraker.

  Villac helped Keating, who was not walking smoothly, and everyone came to the cell where Adel and more than a dozen prisoners were imprisoned.

Seeing Keating standing, Adel finally showed a shocked expression on the face of the prison being controlled by the prisoners, and then had to admit: "It seems that your successful prison escape today is an inevitable thing. "

   "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 to open the door, so we don't have to kill you."

  Now Verak and the others are not considered to have officially escaped from prison, because the last few doors are still blocked by prison guards. If Adel made up his mind and would rather bring hundreds of prison guards and prisoners with him to the funeral than let the last ones open the door, they would have nothing to do.

   "Is Lecter dead?" Adel asked.

   "Yes." Verak nodded.

   "Is the person above me okay?"

   "Most are still alive." Dawn replied.

  Adel was silent for a few seconds: "Then open the door."

The prisoner who was in charge of getting the key looked at Verak and Dawn, and after seeing that they both nodded, he stepped forward and opened the door of the cell, only letting Adel out, and at the same time handing over the key of the cell to Adel superior.

   After receiving the key, he went up to the first floor, and seeing the mess in sight, the dead and wounded prison guards chained up, Adel said flatly: "No wonder you Equality Society can stand against the government in Laizein."

   As he said that, Verak asked the prisoners who were in a stalemate with the prison guards at the last few doors to open the door they controlled closest to the exit.

   "I'm Sherif Adel." Adel walked to the door, and the prison guard at the other end said, "The prison has been controlled by prisoners. For unnecessary sacrifices, open the door and let them go out."

"The warden?!" The prison guards at the door heard Adel's voice, thinking that they had suppressed the rioting prisoners again, but it was slower than before, but when they finished listening to Adel's words, After that, the heart sank to the bottom.

  Adel let out a heavy snort: "Open the door."

  "...Yes." The prison guards accepted this impossible fact with difficulty.

  Verak and the others did not dare to relax their vigilance, and arranged for more than a dozen prisoners to set up guns before opening the door, in order to deal with possible accidents at any time.

   Soon, the first door in front of them was opened, followed by the second, third, and fourth doors, and the light from the exit shone on the faces of every prisoner who rushed over. The prisoners became commotion, and the calm Dawn raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

  Sixteen prison guards put down their weapons under the order of Adel, and let the prisoners handcuff them into chains.

   At this point, the prison is completely controlled by the prisoners, and the only thing left is to seize control of the ship that came to transport the new batch of prisoners and transport all the prisoners out.

"Dawn, you are injured, so stay here and cut off the phone line, lead people to lock these prison guards into cells, and then collect their clothes and money." Seeing that Dawn was injured, Veraker decided to let He took care of the aftermath, "I'll get the boat."

   "Okay, I'll leave it to you." Dawn was very relieved of Veraker, and he turned around and took Adel and the sixteen prison guards away.

  Villac and Keating picked 20 prisoners, changed into prison guards' clothes, and pretended to be receiving prisoners and supplies normally, and picked another 50 people to lie in ambush around the pier, waiting for the ship to arrive.

  At about twelve o'clock, a cargo ship sailed in the distance from the pier. Verak asked the prisoners in prison uniforms to stand in line with guns, and he and Keating stood shoulder to shoulder with the sea breeze.

   "It's really big outside." Verak suddenly sighed at the vastness of the sea like a country bumpkin.

   "Yes..." Even Keating hadn't seen the endless sea for two years. When he looked at it, he also felt that his mood was hard to calm down.

  While the two were deeply moved, the cargo ship did not notice any abnormalities, nor did it raise any worries about this prison that had been impenetrable for decades, and slowly docked in front of the pier.

  When the connecting board between the cargo ship and the dock was set up, Verak beckoned and brought twenty prisoners on board: "Go, get the prisoners out."

  The prisoners have experienced the previous battle, even if their psychological quality was not high, they can now hold their breath, and followed Verak into the boat in a decent manner.

The captain of the cargo ship passed Verak and the prisoners on board, and while facing Keating standing on the pier, he wondered why it wasn't Lecter who came to receive it in person today: "This is the list of prisoners and cargo shipped this time. Take a look."

   Keating took the list from the captain and was about to read it, when suddenly there were several gunshots on the ship, followed by shouts from the sailors.

   "What's the matter?" The captain heard the noise. Although he didn't know what happened, he figured it must be something bad, so he immediately boarded the ship to check the situation.

   "No need to go up." Keating grabbed the captain's arm and raised his other hand. The fifty prisoners in ambush immediately rushed out from all directions, assisting Verak who was on board to control the sailors.

   Except for two sailors who resisted desperately and were shot, and one jumped into the sea and disappeared, 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 told him to stay with the other controlled sailors before boarding the ship to find Verak to check the situation.

   "Teacher." Veraker walked around the cabin and greeted Keating when he saw Keating coming. "If the cargo in the cabin is emptied, everyone can take it away in one go."

   Keating looked around the cabin. The space is really big enough. After all, nearly 3,000 prison guards and prisoners can be transported for a month’s consumption each time: "Then hurry up and move down. It’s best to get out in one go."

"Well." Verak went to the deck of the ship and divided the prisoners below into two parts. One part guarded the sailors, the other came up to carry the goods, and another prisoner was selected to inform the prison of the good news that the ship had been successfully captured. Dawn.

  After getting the news, and according to what Verak said, all the prison guards were properly arranged, the telephone lines were destroyed, and more than a thousand sets of clothes of the prison guards were dug out, Dawn rushed over with a cloud of prisoners.

   When they came over, Verak took fifty or sixty people and almost moved all the goods to the nearby pier.

   "Everything is going well?" Dawn asked.

   "Everything is going well." Verac replied.

Dawn was completely relieved, and pointed to the clothes brought by some prisoners behind: "You want everyone to change into other clothes so that they can escape back to the land, don't you? But I searched all over the prison, police uniforms, prison guards' casual clothes , and even the clothes that the prisoners changed when they came, which they haven’t had time to throw away, add up to more than a thousand sets, which is still not enough for everyone to wear.”

"Then we can only give priority to our backbones, and those who were injured during the prison escape. You can arrange the rest." Verak raised his chin at the trembling sailors curled up together. , "Those sailors' clothes can also be changed, as much as they can make up."

"Okay." Dawn thought about how to arrange it so that the prisoners who didn't get the clothes would not be dissatisfied. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of it. Finding fault caused chaos, he went straight up and punched him twice.

   "The cabins are all emptied." After the prisoner finished carrying the last cargo, he reported to Veraker, Keating, and Dawnhui who were standing together.

   "Organize everyone to board the ship." Verac and Dawn finished speaking, and walked towards the captain and sailors, "As long as you bring us back to land, we will not touch a single hair of you."

  The captain knew that they had no choice. No matter whether Verak could keep his word, they could only do it in order to live longer. As for transporting the prisoners out, he would not bear any responsibility. He didn't want to think about it. Even Daimans Prison could be breached, and he couldn't be held accountable.

After easily convincing the captain and sailors, everyone boarded the cargo ship. After confirming that no one of his own was left behind, Verac randomly picked a sailor to stay and asked him to rescue the prison guards, and then began to order the captain to take them back. Lu Lu: "Go to that harbor and stop, and your mission will be completed."

  Verak has a deep impression of the harbor. This harbor is not big, and there is only a small town next to it. Even if they were discovered in the past, the town would not be able to organize any force to suppress them.

"Divide the money!" Verak came to the cabin and took out the money that Dawn had looted, "No matter how much, everyone has a share, and the injured can get a little more. We will go our separate ways when we arrive at the pier. "

Although Veraker has established deep relationships with many prisoners during his two months in Daymans Prison, most of their contacts are based on the escape plan, which does not mean that they are like-minded, let alone It means that we can work together in the future.

   "After going out, you must be careful. We won't keep our prison escape secret for long. When the government finds out, they will definitely hunt us down vigorously. I don't want someone to go to that crappy place soon after coming out!" Dawn told everyone.

  Verak didn't care to go to the deck to enjoy the common but long-lost scenery, and he didn't have time to immerse himself in the joy of freedom, so he was busy distributing money to each prisoner himself. When he came to Ross, he gave an extra five silver grams after all the ten silver grams: "This is part of my money."

   "You..." Rose wanted to share the joy with Verac, but was speechless after taking the fifteen silver grams.

"When you get to the pier, everyone will disperse. I hope you can return to Laizein safely, or hide in other places with anonymity. In short, you can be free, and you can play the piano again and be your musician." Put half of yourself The money was handed over to Rose, and Verak didn't say much, and continued to send it to the back.

   After sending out the money, Verac and Keating came to the deck: "Teacher, teach me how to use a gun."

   "You still don't know how?" Keating felt that Veraker should know how to use weapons after going through so much.

   "It hasn't been used yet." Verak tried his best not to think about Colin.

   "Hold it first." Keating handed Verak a gun and helped him adjust the gun posture. "Look here, align your eyes, form a straight line, aim at the position you want to shoot, and pull the trigger."

  Verak casually aimed at a position: "Just click it, right?"

"Um."

"boom!"

   A shot was fired, and because of the recoil, Verak was pushed against his body by the **** of the gun.

   "Don't be too tense, try a few more shots." Keating supported Veraker.

  Verak fired a few shots in a row, and slowly found the feeling through practice.

"It's that simple. Of course, it takes a long time to practice the accuracy of shooting." Keating introduced to Veraker how to reload the bullets and how to load them after he finished firing a magazine. .

  Verak is studying hard.

  By the time the cargo ship returned to the pier, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

  Verak and Keating first brought down a group of prisoners wearing prison guard uniforms, and after confirming that the pier was safe, they greeted everyone to come down.

  More than 2,000 people gathered on the pier, which is usually not very lively, 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 quite figure out what was going on.

"Don't worry about the people nearby, those who come down quickly leave! Be careful and careful! Don't hurt others! Cherish this opportunity! We are destined to meet again!" Although Verac was the first to disembark, he did not leave directly with Keating, but Get everyone off the boat and watch them leave in all directions one by one.

   "Villac." In the end, Dawn and Rose, who had changed into civilian clothes, had to part with Verac and Keating.

   "Go to meet your family and play your piano." Verac embraced Dawn and Rose with outstretched arms.

   "You too, do your business." Dawn said, "I will pay attention to the news of the Equality Association, and wish you success."

   "Thank you, Verak." Rose burst into tears.

   "Let's go." Dawn nodded to Veraker and Keating, and ran away alone.

  Verak smiled back, and pushed Rose toward the depths of the continent: "Go!"

  Watching the two go away, Verak let out a long breath: "Teacher, let's go too."

   "Yeah." Keating looked around and determined his position, "Lizein is over there."

  Villac looked in the direction Keating pointed, put a pistol on his waist, first went to the nearest house, exchanged two silver grams for two sets of casual clothes, and then rushed to the distant Laizein.
