Chapter 40 You're still alive
Tian Tian looked up at the vent and first assessed her current situation.
After careful consideration, she did not believe that she could climb up to the ventilation shaft with both feet injured.
The only way out was through the iron door of the prison cell.
Tian Tian went up and shook the iron gate, only to find that it was locked from the outside.
Because he hadn't eaten for a long time, his stomach started to cramp.
To conserve her energy, Tian Tian lay down on the dirty tatami mat.
In fact, as early as the second day after arriving in this dream world, Tian Tian learned about the current situation in District 3 through a prison guard.
According to the prison guard, the death row cell in the women's prison was closed many years ago.
In order to learn more information, Tian Tian even went so far as to try to get information out of many prison guards.
Finally, she pieced together this information and came to a more complete conclusion.
First of all, no one remembers the exact date, but everyone remembers that those in Zone 3, whether guards or prisoners, were all tortured and killed on that day.
Secondly, in all cases, the head and a section of the spine were pulled out of the body.
From that day on, no one who entered Zone 3 ever came out alive, and as a result, Zone 3 was gradually abandoned.
"So how exactly do we get out of here...?"
Tian Tian turned over, her mind racing with thoughts of how to escape, but the prolonged intense concentration left her feeling exhausted, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
It wasn't until a loud noise came from outside the door that Tian Tian was awakened.
"Someone has come in."
Tian Tian suddenly sat up from the tatami mat, looking at the iron door of the cell with a wary expression.
The sound of keys jingling was accompanied by the sound of a door being pushed open.
Tian Tian frowned, and her palms were sweating.
She didn't know who the person was, but she understood that since the person knew there was danger in District 3, yet still came alone, there must be something fishy about it.
The footsteps grew closer, and Tian Tian, ignoring the pain in her feet, quickly got up and hid behind the door.
Just as the other party opened the cell door, Tian Tian, who had been lying in ambush, suddenly jumped out from behind the door, wrapped her arms around the other party's knees, and locked them tightly.
Because it happened so suddenly, the person on the other end was clearly not prepared.
The moment his knees were locked, he fell backward. Only when the man swiftly drew his sidearm from his waist and pointed it at Tian Tian's forehead did he cry out in alarm, "Tian Tian?!"
Tian Tian was originally prepared to strangle this person, but she was stunned when she heard him call out her name.
"You're still alive!"
This person is Laura, or rather, Lizzie disguised as Laura.
"Who are you?" Tian Tian looked at the other person with a suspicious expression.
She did not lower her guard when she heard the other person call her name; she kept her grip on his joints and disarmed him.
Lizzie looked quite disheveled at the moment because her joints were locked in the opposite direction, which made her very uncomfortable. She both acknowledged and feared Tian Tian's fighting prowess.
"Tian Tian, it's me, Lizzie. Please relax a little, I can hardly speak anymore." Lizzie tried her best to look up at Tian Tian, her tone very sincere.
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Tian released the other person when she saw that the other person had no intention of resisting or harming her.
"Phew—that really hurts, Tian Tian. You're still alive. To be honest, I came here to look for clues, and incidentally, I also came to look for your body."
"As you know, the bodies of our companions here can provide a lot of information."
"It doesn't matter anymore, the most important thing is that you're alive." Lizzie said, rubbing her limbs. Seeing that Tian Tian was still alive, her suppressed emotions were relieved.
"You said you're Lizzie?" Tian Tian looked the policewoman up and down, her tone full of suspicion.
Next, Lizzie briefly recounted her experiences to Tian Tian.
"Sister Xi... well, it's unavoidable in a place like this." Tian Tian's mood dipped slightly after hearing Li Qi's story.
"Are we just going to walk out like this, so openly and honestly?" Tian Tian asked in a consultative tone. "Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for you to walk out of District Three with a prisoner?"
"Can you still climb the pipes? If you can, go back to the bathroom through the pipes, and I'll meet you there."
You disappeared yesterday afternoon, and a whole day has passed since then. It's now the afternoon of the fourth day.
As Lizzie spoke, she stood up from the ground.
"Okay, let's talk in the bathroom." Tian Tian didn't linger; she didn't want to stay there any longer.
With Lizzie's help, Tian Tian quickly climbed into the passage.
Lizzie listened to the sound of Tian Tian crawling away before quickly leaving Zone 3.
in the bathroom.
Tian Tian recounted her experiences after entering District Three in detail to Li Qi.
As Lizzie listened, she held the ring up to her eyes and examined it closely.
"Tian Tian, don't you think the shape set on this ring looks a lot like Roman numerals, only the style of the numerals has been beautified?"
"I don't know either, it's Jenny's ring."
Tian Tian sat on the bathroom floor, munching on leftover bread that Lizzie had taken from the cafeteria kitchen, and mumbled, "These bread slices are so dry."
"It's past lunchtime, so please make do with this." Lizzie shook her head.
With a sip of water, Tian Tian swallowed the dry bread and continued, "Hey, it's good enough to have something to eat."
"By the way, Lizzie, how's it going with the guy?"
After hearing Tian Tian's question, Lizzie returned the ring to Tian Tian.
Lizzie then recounted to Tian Tian the details of their meeting that morning and the information she had received from Lao Zeng and his group.
"Then it seems this ring must be useful."
Tian Tian took over and shared her analysis, "Now the whole clue is clear, and I'll give them my ring tomorrow morning too."
"no."
Lizzie suddenly interrupted Tian Tian, "We can't give them to them; they're our bargaining chip."
Once you give them your services, we become worthless, and they won't help you when you encounter difficult problems.
Because of their different perspectives, Tian Tian can understand Lizzie's thoughts.
Because Lizzie didn't know that Tian Tian and Lao Zeng were acquaintances.
"But...doesn't Lizzie know Ron?"
Tian Tian had her doubts, but she didn't bring them up. In any case, she could keep the ring for herself for now.
"A little warning came to me at noon today, saying that Ron broke into Quaid's office and stole the key to the archives."
He had obtained the key model, but then he heard another piece of news.
Lizzie's expression turned very serious as she spoke.
"What news?" Tian Tian pressed.
"Our mission ends tomorrow night," Quaid said, under pressure from the outside world, and made a video call with someone.
The two plan to destroy the entire prison tomorrow night.
Quaid had already activated the prison's self-destruct mechanism, which would automatically detonate in three days.
Quaid plans to leave here at 8 p.m. tomorrow, and our deadline is 11:59 p.m. tomorrow.
The atmosphere suddenly became much heavier; time was of the essence, and they needed to hurry.
Lizzie continued, "Ron said this morning that everyone in this prison is actually dead, except Quaid."
The prison bombing had already happened; we are currently in the timeline of events that occurred a few days before the bombing.
