Chapter 4

Night.

Li Ang lay on the hard bed board and entered a deep sleep; in order to cope with the twelve-hour, two-shift death assembly line, he had to ensure sufficient rest.

Boom—!

At this moment, a dull sound rang out, followed immediately by continuous, violent vibrations.

Such a huge commotion jolted Li Ang awake from his sleep.

"What the... can't a person even sleep?"

He muttered with some dissatisfaction, then turned over, wanting to continue sleeping.

But the vibration didn't end just like that; instead, it became more and more violent.

Li Ang quickly realized that something was wrong.

He shook off his sleepiness, climbed out of bed, and went to the cell door, trying to obtain some useful information.

Through the narrow window, Li Ang saw the prison management staff rushing through the corridor with panicked expressions.

"Something happened."

Seeing this, Li Ang's heart sank.

Without hesitation, he immediately began pounding on the cell door, trying to attract the attention of the management staff to ask what had happened.

And it wasn't just Li Ang who realized this.

At this moment, countless inmates were pounding on their cell doors, trying to use wails and curses to get the attention of the management staff.

But unfortunately, until the corridor became quiet again, not a single management staff member paid any attention to them.

At this moment, the vibration was becoming more and more intense, reaching a level comparable to some large earthquakes.

Fortunately, the construction quality of the prison block was quite good, and Li Ang didn't find any signs of damage in his cell.

He sat back on the bed board and muttered to himself: "Prisoner, prisoner..."

"Now I've really become a prisoner."

Li Ang was now in a situation where heaven wouldn't answer and the earth wouldn't respond; he could only stay in this narrow cell and wait for the end of his life.

If things went well, nothing would happen in the end, and he would continue to be a convict.

If things went badly...

Then naturally, this day next year would be his death anniversary.

But neither of these was the ending Li Ang wanted.

Until a huge, clanging roar came, and the white lights in the cell suddenly went out, plunging everything into darkness.

But soon, accompanied by a buzzing sound, the lights came back on, only much dimmer than before.

Seeing this, Li Ang speculated that the backup power must have started; after all, high-security areas like the prison block definitely had emergency plans for various unexpected situations.

This was not a good omen.

"The situation is getting worse and worse..."

At this moment, Li Ang's heart couldn't stop sliding into the abyss; after all, the activation of the backup power indicated that the situation outside definitely wasn't any better.

Just as he was thinking about how to save himself, a series of footsteps suddenly caught his attention.

"Did the management staff come back?"

With this doubt, Li Ang went to the cell door and looked out.

Then, a figure wearing the same white prison uniform as him came into his view.

But before Li Ang could call out to this person, the other party had already disappeared from his field of vision.

"A professional?"

It was very obvious that this person must have taken a special profession; otherwise, Li Ang couldn't figure out how they had escaped from this sealed cell.

He had the heart to imitate them, but the 【Prisoner】 profession clearly couldn't do it.

Li Ang looked at the thick cell door in front of him and couldn't help but complain: "If I shout 'Farewell, cage,' can I promote to a Thief?"

"If that doesn't work, Riki-Oh would also be acceptable."

Clearly everyone was a prisoner, so why was the gap in strength so large?

"Now the business has collapsed halfway through."

Remembering his two powerful talents, he felt like crying but had no tears.

At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from a place Li Ang couldn't see.

His heart stopped, and he immediately moved away from the cell door: "Was that the person from just now?"

"Did the management staff come back and find them escaping?"

"Or..."
