Chapter 12 [Looking at the Eyes of the Mentally Handicapped]
In the history of Shawshank Prison, it is actually unusual for some to enter it and then try to escape somehow.
Something like this happens countless times a year.
But it was no surprise that they were either blocked by the high fence, in front of the dangerous bullets, or caught by the guards who spotted them in time.
Not to mention escaping, there are not many who can leave the prison and run out of the gate wall.
There are many escapes from prison, so among these people, there will always be some talented and lucky guys.
Someone once lay down in a pile of sheets and got out, and the lucky guy escaped the guards and left the prison.
After that, there were naturally a few repetitions.
It's just that with the lessons of the past, the prison authorities have already made them no longer have a chance.
Therefore, the most clever prison escapes are often improvised, and they are also silent.
How can he be so irritable, as if he wants to use his strength to forcibly tear apart this thick wall.
There was silence in the cell.
The atmosphere inside was eerie, and they stood in front of the fence, listening to the movement.
Without exception, they all found it, and the sound of sledgehammers smashing against the walls was heard.
Shocked at the same time, it feels incomprehensible.
Is this a jailbreak?
Is there such a jailbreak!
All the prisoners had bewildered expressions on their faces.
Where did the sledgehammer come from, and the sound it caused was obviously impossible to be able to do with ordinary hammers.
Da Da Da ......
Bang.
The door to Cell 5 was slammed open, and a column of boot-clad guards swarmed in, looking for the source of the sound.
It seems that the previous guards also noticed the movement here, attracting people from above to check.
And at this time, the huge roar sounded again.
Boom!
Two loud bangs!
Hurried and short-lived!
The other inmates in the prison were already stunned at this time, they had never seen such a daring guy, led by a police captain who was famous for his cruelty.
That's it, dare to continue?
"What floor?"
"It should be the second floor, or the third floor!"
"Why are you stunned, go search!"
……
With Hadley's cold voice, the guards scattered in all directions, flashlights, and searched in rows, beginning to check the source of the sound.
It's just that the voice suddenly disappeared again.
However, at this time, Chen Ze had already entered Andy's previous cell, carefully opened the poster of the beautiful woman, and drilled through the big hole the thickness of the bucket.
Rita Hayworth's poster, still calmly plastered on the wall, dragging out the last moment.
At this time, Chen Ze was walking along the space less than a meter wide, staggering through the walls to let his body fall.
And in the midst of this, through the flashlight in his mouth and the light from a small window above the space, he could clearly see the scene below.
A bucket-thick pipe is exposed in the space underneath, taking up the entire ground.
Around the pipe, there is a black and smelly sewage flowing with an unpleasant smell, and at the end of the front of the drainage pipe, above the entire pipe, a whole piece is broken.
Surrounded by fragments of crumbling ceramics, mixed with sewage, scattered.
Needless to say, Andy has burrowed into this porcelain drain and headed out into the outside world.
Time is urgent, and Chen Ze will no longer stay.
First, he took out a slender strip of white cloth from his waist and wrapped it around his head several times, covering the position of his mouth and nose firmly.
The smell of the sewer, he just smelled it superficially, and he felt the lethality in it.
It is only by covering your mouth and nose that you can reduce some of those gagging odors.
The dark pipe, the inner wall is covered with all kinds of filthy mucus, which makes people sick, Chen Ze stretched out his head to take a look, and found that there was no end in sight, and there was darkness in the distance.
However, he could see a sporadic spot of light in the far reaches of the darkness of the pipe.
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Chen Ze gritted his teeth, and got into it alone with a flashlight in his mouth.
A breath that rushed straight to his mind drilled directly into his mind, and Chen Ze almost doubted life, which was more sour than the taste of stinky socks that had been soaked for more than ten days.
He admired Andy in front of him more and more.
It's just that there is no way, Chen Ze directly held his breath and pulled the inner wall forward.
This porcelain pipe, built decades ago, is only the thickness of a bucket, and when the whole person enters, it almost occupies the entire space, and fortunately, his body is thin, so he still has room to move.
And Chen Ze only breathes through his mouth, isolating air from entering his nasal cavity, which he did in the toilet of his hometown.
But here is a little different, the smell is greatly reduced, but it feels spicy to the eyes.
With a squirming of difficulty, Chen Ze's body finally moved forward for some distance.
His nose didn't breathe, his mouth cracked a slit to change his breath, and he continued to crawl forward, because of the spatial constraints, the range of movement was not large, and he looked like a wriggling bug.
Time was passing little by little, and the distance inside the pipe was gradually shortening, and Chen Ze could even see the lightning and thunder outside the end of the pipe.
At this moment, in the cell of the fifth district, the world has been turned upside down.
A group of people, a dozen guards.
Outside the bars surrounding cells 154 and 155, they were all stunned by the walls of them.
More people focused their eyes on the one-meter-long octagonal hammer that was placed on the ground.
"So, can anyone tell me what's going on with this damn wall! How did the sledgehammer come about! Where have the people gone! ”
Hadley stared at the guards guarding the cell, his eyes like a sharp sword about to pierce it.
The guards guarding the cells were sweating profusely.
Shocked at the same time, he was also puzzled, how did he know how such a big hammer came from? And how do you know how people disappear?
He was also helpless!
He wants to know, too!
"Rhett, who has a good room of 153, seems to be selling some things often!"
Someone in the guard mentioned it.
Originally, there were many benefits among the guards who had benefited from the old Red, but this time was not the time for maintenance.
"Alright, bring Red up!"
Hadley glanced at it and commanded coldly.
At this time, Red in the cell was still in a state of dreaming, because the distance between their cells was so close that the voices of the guards seemed to appear in his ears.
He noticed one of the facts that he couldn't believe and couldn't believe, that is, Andy and Chen Ze disappeared and escaped from prison at the same time.
His head buzzed, causing the guard who called him out to remind him three times before he reacted until he shouted angrily.
"Rhett, I'm asking you! Is this octagonal hammer yours! ”
"Octagonal hammer? What octagonal hammer? ”
It was then that Old Rhett noticed Hadley's problem, and the almost gloomy face that came out of the water.
He followed the other party's instructions and immediately saw the situation in room 154 at this time.
The wall, which had been intact, was now cut out of a hole the size of a wheel, and the ground was full of concrete residue and large and small pieces.
The octagonal hammer that Hadley spoke of was quietly erected in the middle of the slag, with the handle facing vertically upwards.
Such a sight came into view, and Red's breath suddenly stopped.
Looking at the metal parts of the head of the octagonal hammer, it was the size of two fists of an adult man, and the long grip was almost a meter long.
Something so big, where could he get it!
Red looked into Hadley's eyes as if he were looking at another retard.
