Chapter 995: Start!

The newcomer Sheyan was of course given the bed closest to the toilet. Actually, there was no bed. It was just the ground.

So what happened to his bed? It was in use by others.

The cell was so small, and the men who were placed in it were normally big and muscular. If they slept according to the designated 8-person arrangement, none of them would be able to straighten their legs. Even if they could, the part below the knee would be suspended in mid air without support.

It was naturally a terribly uncomfortable way to sleep.

So, the few inmates who were the first to arrive would oppress the newcomers. In order to stretch their legs comfortably when they sleep, they would force the last two who joined the cell to sleep on the ground. That was Sheyan's current predicament.

That wasn't the end of it. Because water supply was limited and there were not many water containers, the toilet was rarely completely clean of human waste. As soon as the guard was gone, in order to cover up the foul smell, a large, fat man grabbed Sheyan's blanket and draped it over the toilet. He then looked at Sheyan provocatively.

Normally, the newcomers wouldn't just tolerate such insults. They would at least be shocked and angry and get into an argument. The fouler-tempered ones would even start throwing fists. That kind of response was exactly what the other inmates were hoping for, because they could then gang up on the newcomer and give him a good beating.

But Sheyan showed no response at all, as if what had happened was totally irrelevant to him. As if he couldn't smell the stink from the toilet, he sat down on his designated spot without making a fuss.

Sheyan's "exemplary behaviour" completely ruined his fellow inmates' script. They exchanged glances and decided to wait until after the guards had made the evening rounds to teach the new guy a proper lesson.

What they did not know was that Sheyan had no intention of staying here for long at all. So what if he had to smell the stench for a little while? Of course, the main reason Sheyan could not be bothered with them was that right after he sat down, he felt the metal nut getting slightly hot. Following that, a string of notifications appeared before his eyes.

[ Explanation: What is the truth hidden behind the mysterious metal nut? You're already really close to it. ]

[ Warning: Your search for Nicholas has attracted the attention of certain factions. ]

[ Warning: You must find Nicholas as soon as possible to discover the truth. ]

It was the first time Sheyan had encountered this kind of half-explanation, half-hinting notifications, and there was no mission handed-out too, but at least it showed that he was in the right direction.

Despite Sheyan's seemingly confident display in front of his party members, he actually harbored some doubts deep down in his heart. Now that he had confirmation from the realm, he was naturally much more confident in his choice. In fact, the group of inmates should really be thankful of the timely notifications, otherwise it was hard to say whether Sheyan would have the patience to deal with their provocation peacefully in his anxiousness.

After two hours of waiting , the lights in the corridor outside the cell suddenly flickered and went out. Sheyan abruptly opened his eyes. The prisoners who were originally talking and laughing wildly were stunned. Since they had been here, the power of Fox River Prison had never gone out before! Some of the prisoners on death row and lifetime sentences started to feel some kind of unreasonable hope. Even the prison guards were looking up at the lights on the ceiling. They had never been bothered by blackouts, so it naturally caught their attention.

But the power returned very soon, and cold, white light once again illuminated the prison. The inmates were immediately overwhelmed with frustration. Sheyan continued to wait patiently. He believed that the blackout just now was not just an accident.

The lights flashed and went out again, and this time, no one believed it was just a coincidence. One of the prisoners began to scream excitedly, seizing the bars on his cell's door and shaking it. Following that, many other prisoners did the same thing. Loud clanging noises could be heard coming from every direction. When the lights flashed on again, the illumination lit up the prisoners' disillusioned faces and the figures of the guards that had grouped up in a hurry and were rushing over from the distance.

A loud scream broke out, followed by shouts of anger - that was the aftermath of a steel baton hitting an inmate's head. Sheyan was counting down patiently. Since Reef and Mogensha had destroyed two power supply systems, the third should not pose them any problem either.

Reef and Mogensha indeed did not disappoint Sheyan. All the lights went out again for the third time merely five minutes later. The prisoners were already making a ruckus like it was a carnival. Some rushed to the doors of their cells and shook them, while others started smashing beds. All the prison guards showed signs of hesitation in dealing with the prisoners in a blackout, and they lacked their usual courage.

Sheyan stood up at this moment. He walked slowly, but his progress was not slow - because all the people in front of him were thrown away. The person currently occupying the best position in front of the cell door was the fat man from earlier. He turned around and stared at Sheyan, while at the same time grabbing a "dagger" that was grinded from a toothbrush. He threatened, "Fool, do you think muscles decide everything? The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools. Everyone attack him together! "

Sheyan quietly said, "Although I wasn't planning to use that dirty blanket, it was something that belongs to me. What right do you have to touch it? The moment you threw it over the toilet, I decided that I'll show you the scenery under the toilet."

The fat man yelled and threw himself at Sheyan. Two close friends of his lunged at Sheyan's arm from the left and right, trying to hold him in place so that the fat man could stab the handle of his toothbrush into Sheyan's stomach.

The two performed their mission admirably, but when Sheyan yanked his arms, they simultaneously issued a horrible scream. With a further pull of his arms, Sheyan broke the arms of the two men instead. The sharpened toothbrush handle reached Sheyan's abdomen at the same time, but it was stubbornly bounced back. Sheyan grabbed the fat man's throat and lifted him off the ground.

The fat man was suffocating. He kicked about wildly and tried to cry out, but he could not make a sound.

Sheyan stuffed the man's head into the toilet and jammed it down hard. The fat man sounded like he was drowning. Sheyan was done with him. He turned around, went to the cell door, gripped the bars on the door, and slowly exerted his strength.

In front of the prisoners' astonished eyes, the tough prison door started to groan helplessly. Debris fell from the concrete walls around it - it was evident that the walls could not resist the tremendous power from Sheyan's hands. As the doorframe became twisted and was pulled out, a series of explosions happened around the door, followed by one final loud bang!

The major explosion took place on the most severely damaged wall. The explosion was so strong that sand and stones splashed out like the spray of water when a pipe burst! Rubble and dust covered the shocked faces of the inmates in the tiny cell.

By the end of the explosion, the figure was still standing in front of the door like an unshakable mountain, but with some burn marks on his body. Sheyan held the prison door in one hand, seemingly wanting to use it as a weapon!

A guy who was staring into Sheyan's back suddenly cried out, "He's a Terminator! He's got to be a Terminator! "

The Terminators had been very active recently. There weren't something convenient like the neuralyzer in this world, so the public had some knowledge of these terrorist-like monsters.

Sheyan went out to meet up with Sanzi according to their previous arrangement. Naturally, he attracted the attention of all the prison guards. This was just the zone where ordinary prisoners were locked-up, and the guards here were not equipped with high-tech products like the latest taser gun. At most, they carried electric batons and small-caliber pistols. It was not too difficult for Sheyan to knock them down. A few minutes later, all the prison guards were already moaning in pain on the ground.

These guards only tried to subdue Sheyan and did not try to kill him, so Sheyan showed them mercy. With no one stopping him, he moved towards Zone C where Sanzi was imprisoned.

Not ten seconds after Sheyan left, another man boldly stepped out of the now obsolete cell and rushed to his freedom, shouting in ecstasy, but he was quickly called back by his boss. He found the keys on an unconscious prison guard and proceeded to release all the prisoners there.

The Fox River Prison was extremely harsh on its prisoners, all of whom were violent and held grudges. Now that their fury were unleashed, the outbreak was naturally ferocious. Prisoners were released one after another. Because a large number of defensive measures had stopped working due to the blackout, the mob ran rampant and destroyed everything wherever it went!

This was also within Sheyan's plan. The rioting mob would undoubtedly attract most of the government's attention, which would buy him more time to escape from here.

Not far away from the cell where Sanzi was held, Sheyan detected the piercing smell of blood! He instantly had a bad feeling. After a few more steps, he suddenly saw a fierce-looking beast!
