Chapter 246 - 246

Chapter 246 Shall we perish together?Pei Hening wanted to walk towards the kitchen, as Xun Yingdong was likely still waiting for her.She glanced up at the camera, her long-cultivated intuition reminding her to take a detour.For safety's sake, avoiding cameras and reducing the risk of being caught is the most sensible thing to do. She hadn't walked far when she heard hurried footsteps.She looked around and slipped into a half-closed, empty room.The chaotic footsteps grew closer, and Pei Hening could also hear them talking."Why are there so many trivial matters today? There's unrest in Division 09 and Division 04, and the fifteenth prison guard in Division 02 suddenly went mad and killed the nineteenth prison guard in Division 02.""Has the warden not contacted guard number fifteen in section 02?""Wrong. The warden contacted him as soon as he found out about this, but the guy ignored the warden. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked us to contact him.""Number 15 in Division 02 is really bold, ignoring even the warden. Is he really not afraid of the warden's methods?"Pei Hening fell silent, a rare occurrence. The warden had contacted her? When did that happen? How come she didn't know?She carefully recalled the scene when she changed clothes after killing prison guard number 15. Could it be that she forgot something? She only spent two minutes changing clothes at the time. The time was too tight, so it was normal to make mistakes.Pei Hening squinted for a while to adjust to the light in the empty room. It turned out to be a data room, with sealed documents neatly stacked on the table. She stood up, ready to check the documents, when she heard footsteps getting clearer. Someone was coming this way.She stood in the dark corner, raising her gun and pointing it towards the entrance. If anyone came in, she would shoot!The footsteps first grew louder and then quieter, suggesting that the people outside were simply passing by.She waited a few minutes, and after confirming that no one was outside, she picked up a document and placed it in the light streaming in through the skylight to read it.On February 11, 1963, the legislature sent a new batch of prisoners to the Dachshund prison, totaling 37,634, reportedly from local gangs.

[Photos] (funeral), [Photos] (hospital visit)][On May 22, 1964, the current warden, Alec Anderson, reached a cooperation agreement with Tomorrow Pharmaceutical Group. [Photo] (Alec Anderson and the chairman of Tomorrow Pharmaceutical Group shake hands in a photo)]On July 13, 1963, the prison transported its first batch of organs to Stanford Hospital, successfully saving 163 lives. [Photos] (Organ transport), [Photos] (Stanford Hospital order)...The records were very detailed, and the more Pei Hening read them, the more nauseous he became. The Dassauds State Hospital was actually involved in organ and blood trafficking, and even sent prisoners to certain inhumane research institutes for their research!Disgusting, this is absolutely disgusting!The prisoners held in this jail have absolutely no human rights.Pei Hening got goosebumps looking at the photos of prisoners being taken to conduct virus research. The prisoners in the photos, forced to undergo virus experiments, had expressions of pain, despair, and numbness. They had large areas of rotting on their bodies, and some even had strange tentacles growing from them.She flipped through the document in her hand from beginning to end, and after confirming that there was no other useful information, she looked through the other documents on the table.Pei Hening's gaze fell on a hand-drawn prison construction blueprint. She compared it with the map she had memorized and confirmed that the hand-drawn prison construction blueprint was fine. So she folded it up and put it in her coat pocket.She was going to find Xun Yingdong; she needed his lock-picking skills and was quite worried that something might happen to him.Pei Hening picked up the weapon box she had placed on the ground and was about to leave when she looked up and saw an iron cage behind the door. Inside was a man wearing the uniform of a patrolling prison guard, his mouth gagged and his limbs tightly bound to the cage.When she met the man's gaze, she was truly startled. The man had almond-shaped eyes, dark and devoid of any emotion.Pei Hening was startled at first, then felt a surge of anger and embarrassment. Knowing that no one was outside, she took a few steps forward, kicked the iron cage hard, and said angrily, "You scared me!"The calm in the man's dark eyes was shattered, and he looked at Pei Hening with shock and confusion.Pei Hening rolled her eyes at him and prepared to leave."Waaaaah!""Waaaaah!"The person locked in the cage became anxious and kept whimpering.Just as Pei Hening was about to leave the archives, for some reason, she turned back and pulled off the gag that was covering the man's mouth.What's wrong with you?The man laughed, his eyebrows raised smugly: "Just like you, I came looking for something, but some bastard ambushed me and shot me in the arm, which led to my capture."He noticed the injury on Pei Hening's arm and drawled, "Oh, you got ambushed by that bastard too? Tsk tsk tsk, the angle is just as good as mine.""..."Who cares about his injury? Pei Hening turned to leave.The imprisoned man slowly spoke: "There's a tunnel in Dassado State Prison that leads directly outside. Only I know the address. How about I help you escape?"Pei Hening stopped and turned to look at him: "Who knows if you're telling the truth or a lie?""Click—"Pei Hening: "???"She had no idea how the man had managed to break free of his grip. Just as she was about to ask, he had already escaped from the cage. He walked up to Pei Hening and smiled at her, saying, "Why would I lie to you? We're in the same boat."Pei Hening ignored him and walked out with the weapon case on her shoulder.I don't know if half an hour has passed...The man was like an unshakeable tail, following her closely, his mouth never stopping, chattering incessantly to attract her attention: "Which division are you from?""Your hemostasis technique is very professional, but the wound on your hand still needs medication. I know where the medical room is; shall I take you there?""Is the box heavy? Let me help you carry it."Pei Hening glared at him. "Quiet down. If you attract the prison guards, we'll both be done for."The man paused for a moment, his ears gradually turning red. He didn't stop, but his voice was much softer: "Going to die with you? That's really bad.""May I have your name?""I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, maybe we knew each other in a past life."
