Chapter 142. Act III, The Tower
Zhou Jinru lowered his head, hid half of his face in the guard's hat, and ran behind the warden's car with the team.
They came to the bottom of the tower, where the iron door had fallen, and the only exit was blocked, and those inside were trapped inside unless they had wings.
"You, you, get ready to enter the Tower."
The warden looked at the twenty or so guards gathered here, pointed to a few people, and ordered them to enter the tower.
Seeing this, the civilian personnel who came in a hurry shouted: "Sir! ”
The warden's tone was cold: "This is an order!" ”
"Yes!"
The civilians struggled to pull away, and with the concerted efforts of several sturdy guards, the iron door that sealed the entrance to the tower was re-raised, and no one came out.
This means a sign that the guys who invaded the Tower must have gone to higher levels.
Seven guards formed a small group and entered the tower one by one, their figures quickly disappearing into the shadows, never making a sound again.
Ten minutes later, all the remaining guards, except for those who had been sent to the city wall and those who remained in the ordinary prison, had already arrived under the tower.
"Sir, there are a lot of very dangerous prisoners in the tower, we can't take any chances, now close the iron gate and strengthen the security nearby, it will only take two or three days to solve the problem."
The warden didn't speak, as if the civilian who replaced the secretary didn't exist, he waved his hand a few times, and said coldly: "Are you directing me?" ”
"Sir!"
"Pull him away."
The guards responded and dragged the civilian personnel away.
"Guys, get ready, divide into four teams, enter the tower in batches, meet the prisoners who have escaped from the cell, re-imprison them, and kill the bandits who break into the tower."
Zhou Jinru has been blending in with the guards, and the warden's words can be regarded as giving him a little explanation, because what the civilian said before is very correct, as long as the iron gate is closed again, and the water and electricity in the tower are cut off, any problem can be solved in a few days, but the warden can't do this, because the prisoners in the tower are not all extremely vicious.
Vena once said that the Voller Prison was a place used by the royal family to hold nobles and political prisoners, and after Zhou Jinru entered the Voller Prison, he found that there were not many big nobles in the ordinary and special cells, and only the tower could become a prison for the nobles.
Standing on the ground, it is impossible to know what is happening in the tower, the great nobles are prisoners in the prison, and once they get out of the prison, they can basically regain their identity, so the question is, how can the warden not be hated by the nobles and their families?
Eat and drink to be offered, and wait until the release of the sentence, or the king's pardon, in short, you can't treat it badly.
How can a person sitting in the position of warden be stunned?
So......
Zhou Jinru followed the third team into the tower, and the warden, who was in the fourth team, also entered.
The first floor of the tower is divided into several areas, which are basically where the prison guards rest in shifts, and there are two passages leading to the underground storehouse, where all the supplies are underground.
Coming to the second floor, the office of the head of the tower was here, but the guards who entered the tower later could only see the person in charge lying in a pool of blood, the blood had dried up and turned a dark red, apparently dead for a while.
Zhou Jinru secretly screamed in his heart, this is an extremely bad signal, he knows that the action team will definitely kill people after entering the tower, but he didn't expect that even the person in charge of the tower will be killed, they are challenging a country's bottom line.
"You guys, remove the bed board from the break room and carry the body out first."
The warden's voice was heard from behind, and two guards broke away from the group to collect the body of the tower's leader.
On the third floor, all the cells were empty, and all the prisoners had fled, leaving only the iron bars swaying back and forth in the wind.
They can't run.
This is the thought in everyone's mind.
More than 20 people who walked in front rushed up the stairs to the fourth floor, and at this moment, several wooden barrels half a person high rolled down from the stairs and crashed into the guards, knocking over a group of people.
"Sword and shield hand open the way!"
The warden's voice rang out, and he stood at the back to restore order to the whole team.
Suddenly, an arrow flew from nowhere, breaking the light of the illumination, and suddenly, the corridor was plunged into darkness, and darkness breeds anxiety and fear.
The warden felt a pang of irritability, urging the guards in front of him to continue to move forward, until he broke into the fourth floor, and the hanging heart was not let go.
The two teams of guards who had entered earlier were there, and the prisoners held here were not released, probably because the intruders could not find the keys to open their cells.
A white-haired prisoner was sitting on the edge of his bed playing the violin, the melodious rhythm echoing through the fourth floor, and the arrival of dozens of guards did not hinder his addiction to music.
The other prisoners were either reading books or lying in bed in a daze.
The warden counted the number of prisoners with a straight face, and asked the guards he brought with him to check the identity documents of the guards who came in front of him one by one to make sure that no one was pretending to be a guard.
That doesn't seem to be a bad situation?
Zhou Jinru looked at the boots on his feet, and knew in his heart that the warden was dark under the lamp, if he turned around to check the guards behind, he would definitely show his stuff, fortunately before entering the tower, the stunned guards neither woke up nor were discovered.
Just as they were about to move on, they heard a loud bang from the ground, shaking off a layer of dust, and the fourth layer fell silent, and someone whispered, "Why did the iron gate fall?" ”
This spoke to everyone, who were now also locked up in the tower, and no one could escape from it until the outsiders found out.
The warden waved his hand: "Don't worry! ”
There really is no need to worry, as long as the guards defending the city walls do not get new orders, someone will definitely find out that something is wrong with the tower, and the interval will not even exceed two hours.
But Zhou Jinru didn't think so, he groaned, before entering the tower, the result of emotional detection was that there was no action team nearby, that is to say, all seven of them entered the tower, and there were no people left, and the warden left a few people to guard the entrance of the tower, and did not let people close the iron gate, that is to say, there was someone else who put down the iron gate.
After this person escaped from prison, he didn't run away as soon as possible, but with the intention of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, he put down the iron door and locked them all inside?
A ridiculous thought arose in his heart:
"Could it be the night smoke?"
Before you know it, it's nightfall, and a faint mist spreads, even inside the tower.
