Chapter 241 Jiang Lengyu: Sir, I'm nearsighted, I can't see clearly.Escape from prison is difficult, at least in Dachshund prisons.This prison, which holds 100,000 people, has 5,000 fully armed guards with live ammunition, its own armory, and its own power generation facilities. Even if the entire power plant in Dachshund state were to malfunction, this prison would have a two-week grace period.For her to escape from prison alone is simply a pipe dream.Pei Hening washed the lunchbox clean and listened carefully to what was happening next to her.The third prison guard frowned, his tone displeased: "Number Eight, if you haven't found it, come out. Don't stay inside any longer.""Give me a little more time. I'm not mistaken, she really did hide something!"The eighth prison guard asked, "Hey! Did you see her hiding anything? If you did, tell me and I'll report it to my superiors and get your sentences reduced."Immediately afterward, Pei Hening heard an excited voice coming from the cell to the left of the scalded woman. The person said, "I saw it! She took out a note from somewhere and hid it in her ear! Check her ear! Check it now!"The scalded woman looked terrified. She hurriedly said, "No! I didn't have any note! And I certainly didn't hide it in my ear!""Sir! Sir! My name is Tomomi Ando. You need to submit a report for a reduced sentence!""Sir, don't forget, my name is Tomomi Ando!"The eighth prison guard sneered, "I'll talk to you after I confirm that the information you provided is true."He dragged the scalded woman out, the clanging of the iron chains on her feet hitting the ground like a sharp hammer, each blow striking Pei Hening's heart. She instinctively looked at Xun Yingdong. Would this man also report her?Xun Yingdong sat quietly on the iron-framed bed, her eyes vacant, eating her cornbread one bite after another.Pei Hening placed the washed lunchbox outside the iron gate, then climbed back onto the iron bunk bed, covered herself with the thin sheet, and lay down. Silently, she touched the note, and her face darkened after reading its contents.[The planned rescue operation has been postponed; further notice will be given regarding the new time. The prison map you requested is below. Besides your area, 04, there's also 02, which is closer to the escape route. The guards are still investigating during their shift change, so please be patient.]She quietly turned the note over. The map wasn't very detailed, but the most important place was marked—the armory.Pei Hening needed to memorize this simplified map in a very short time and destroy the evidence.——Partition 02.The thirteenth prison guard opened Jiang Lengyu's cell door and said, "Come out, you have fifteen minutes to exercise."Jiang Lengyu, with chains on her feet, walked past guard number thirteen and out. The chains struck the ground with a crisp sound. She openly looked at the other prisoners around her—men, women, old and young. A guard slammed his gun into her shoulder: "Don't look around!"Jiang Lengyu rubbed his shoulders and said with a forced smile, "Sir, I was just checking if I knew anyone there, or if there was any chance of getting my sentence reduced. Please don't misunderstand me."The prison guard, number thirteen, clearly hadn't expected her to say that. After a moment's hesitation, he whispered a warning: "Keep a low profile, don't be too blatant!""clear."As Jiang Lengyu walked out, she memorized the layout of the prison and the people imprisoned inside.The thirteenth prison guard asked, "Did you see anyone familiar?"Jiang Lengyu said with distress, "Sir, I'm nearsighted and can't see clearly. When I go back for fresh air later, could you take me a little closer to the cell?"Enraged, the thirteenth guard raised his voice a notch: "Are you kidding me?!""Sir, that's not true. My sentence is only three years. I just want to make some contribution to reduce my sentence."He scoffed, "That was for the best."Guard number thirteen led Jiang Lengyu to the exercise area—a 30-square-meter open space with four watchtowers around it, manned by fully armed guards."I'll start timing, and I'll go back when the time is up."Jiang Lengyu nodded obediently: "Okay!"She dragged the iron chain as she sunbathed and moved around in the open space.The thirteenth prison guard, gun at the ready, walked over to the guard on duty next to him, handed him a cigarette, squinted, lit it, took a drag, slowly exhaled the smoke, and asked, "Has the grain been stored?"The guard on duty nodded: "It's been put into storage. Those guys in divisions 06, 07, 08, 09, and 10 are up to no good again, aren't they? They killed almost a thousand troublemakers today."The thirteenth prison guard scoffed, "If you ask me, building a prison to hold them is a complete waste.""What a waste! Heh, the people from the research institute are coming over this afternoon to pick people, right? How many live subjects have you prepared?"The thirteenth prison guard squinted at Jiang Lengyu, who was moving around obediently: "How many have you prepared? Of course, it's as many living prisoners as there are those who have been released on parole."As Jiang Lengyu moved around, she listened intently to their conversation. From a distance, she could only catch snippets of their words. They seemed to be talking about a living being. She lowered her eyes to look at her feet, calloused from the chains. The escape had been planned for so long; it was time to act.Jiang Lengyu noticed that the prison guards on the watchtower had changed shifts, and she hurriedly asked Guard Number Thirteen, "Sir, how many minutes do I have left?"Without thinking much, the thirteenth guard glanced at the time and said, "Seven minutes left."Her exercise time is from 1:03 to 1:18, and the guards at the watchtower change shifts at 1:11.Now there is only one unknown question: how long is the shift change interval for the guards at the watchtower?
