Chapter 650 - 10.45 Don’t Give Up
Lu Yizhou was startled. He had never heard his lover curse so zealously before, at least not in this simulation. He turned to find Pandora standing in front of the computers with an irritated look on his face. However, before he could walk over and ask what was happening, suddenly there was a static buzz from the communicator that had always been silent.
"Red warning! I repeat, red warning! A prisoner has—ugh!" There was a terrifying sound of solid fist punching flesh, followed by a choked sound issued by the guard.
However, that one second warning was enough to alert everyone else because their communicators were linked to each other in the same system. In the next moment, a loud siren pierced through the tranquil night and the watchtower’s light turned dazzling red. Before he could be defeated, the guard had pressed on the emergency button on the communicator to activate the lockdown program.
Pandora could not help but curse again, frustrated. "Damn it! My power is not strong enough..."
It was impossible that people inside the building did not wake up after such a huge ruckus. Adding on to the fact that Pandora was outside right now, the effect of his power had been reduced by a large portion. Through the screen, Lu Yizhou saw the wardens pouring out of the building, holding a remote and a gun in each of their hands. It was a familiar remote used to activate the chip inside their body.
Fortunately, 666 had deactivated the power source in the chip. The warden pressed repeatedly on the remote to no avail. The electric current they had been expecting did not arrive, instead the prisoners still looked as fit as a fiddle as they rushed toward the gate.
Cursing, they lifted their guns and aimed at Christian who was dragging Percy’s collar like he was a baby chick. "Stop!" They hollered. "If you don’t stop, then we will shoot!"
How could Christian stop when he had gone this far?! He knew the fate that would await him once he was caught would be no different than death. It was better to bet on his life and try to obtain freedom! Nonetheless, he could not resist cursing at Percy. If not for him, then all of this mess would not have happened! "You fucking idiot! If I am shot, then I will throw you to them first!"
"N–No, please...!" Tears and snots were running down Percy’s face as he clung to Christian’s arm in desperation. "I didn’t do it on purpose! Please... don’t abandon me!"
