Chapter Ninety-Six: The Funeral I
"Thank you, Jean, thank you!"
On the cheeks of the wise man, the muddy old tears had already been horizontal, and the shriveled body seemed to be injected with vitality, he was so excited that he could no longer suppress the tremor in his heart, and his whole body spasmed violently, and the hand holding the phone seemed to have lost its strength.
More than 30 years of dark life is coming to an end, and now we just need to wait and endure.
"Don't get your hopes too high, maybe neither the General Affairs Division nor the Diet will allow it."
Soon the wise man suppressed his excitement and shook his head with a smile.
"I don't know about the others, but I still know very well what you can do, Jean, the seal of the Six Gods."
There was silence on the other end of the line.
"Superfluous things ......."
"Not a word will be said to anyone else, Mr. Jean."
There was a hum on the other side of the phone, and the phone hung up, and the wise man sat down with a limp and sweat, his fingers holding the cigarette still trembling unobeyedly.
"It's time to get out."
At lunchtime, the door to the prison tower opened, and Jewell was relieved to see that the wise man had returned.
"What's the matter, I'm back so soon."
The wise man wiped his sweat and shook his head.
"People are old, they can't do it anymore, thank you Jewell, can you please do me a little favor next, I want to go back underground tonight to catch up with my old friends."
Jewell looked at the wise man puzzled, so many staff members in the cafeteria were watching, he stared at the wise man with a solemn face, he couldn't tell what was strange, the wise man went out for a trip, and his expression when he came back completely changed, and he looked very relaxed.
"Forget it, whatever you want."
Ten minutes later, the wise man, accompanied by several guards, returned to the tunnel at the bottom floor.
"Yo, the old man hasn't seen you for a few days, have you encountered any happy events?"
"Old man, you enjoy Qingfu above, why did you come back after you didn't stay good?"
"If you have any cigarettes, the old man will give you one."
As soon as the wise man entered the tunnel, a number of prisoners surrounded him and greeted him, and the wise man smiled and said that he would talk about it later, and walked towards the depths of the tunnel.
The tunnel, which is nearly 100 meters wide and has extended nearly 20 kilometers in length, is close to the ravine, and the prisoners can only dig day and night.
Microbial battery lamps are placed all over the tunnel wall for lighting, and from time to time prisoners can be seen dragging bags of heavy stones from the opposite side, and the excavated stones are packed in special sturdy bags, which can be loaded with up to one or two tons at a time, which is completely fine for mutants, but everyone who is not a mutant is tired, and it is already extremely difficult to drag back 500 kilograms at a time.
Therefore, most of the men and women who are not mutants can only rely on their bodies in exchange for a little food, dig from time to time, and have to have a good relationship with the mutants, because they can pick up some stone fragments dug up by the mutants.
Most of the prisoners went back and forth several times to exchange two or three days of liquid food, and then rested near the square, where it was too cold in the tunnel.
After walking for nearly an hour, the wise man came to the door of a cave, and looked inside, a thin, yellow-skinned man was crouching on the ground, sucking something.
"Billy, come in with me, there's something urgent."
After a while, the burly man sitting in front of a thin man named Billy in the cave put down a jar of liquid food and left, and Billy wiped his mouth and walked out.
The man named Billy had high cheekbones, a thin nose, a somewhat weak appearance, long hair, a woman-like demeanor, twisted movements, and a delicate face, not like a working person.
"Hurry up Billy."
The wise man said with some annoyance, he hates this Billy, Billy behind him suffers from rare multiple personality split, and now this Billy's personality is just the personality of a weak woman, which is the most useless, except in exchange for food, and how many personalities Billy has, the wise man doesn't know very well, he has only seen Billy's 6 personalities, among which the smart-headed doctor Billy is the most useful, and the kind of fake death pill that Leng Rui ate last time was made by Billy's doctor's personality.
"I'm sorry, I'm walking slowly."
The wise man looked at Billy with fire.
"What about the others? You can call anyone out, and the little girl I hate the most is a little girl like you. ”
Billy lowered his eyebrows, took small steps, and looked like a girl, she was not tall, only about 1.7 meters, and her hands were reserved in front of her.
"People haven't been talking to me much lately, so I'm sorry Grandpa."
The wise man sighed helplessly, and the two walked all the way, and finally arrived at the excavation point in one hour, a large number of prisoners sweated like rain with pickaxes, digging hard and extremely hard stones, and Alpha was also there.
At this time, Alpha was drenched in sweat, and the only white shoulders on her body had turned black, and she had only washed in the women's bath a few days ago, and the cigarette butt on her mouth had long been extinguished.
"Alpha come here."
The tapping paused, and Alpha turned around and glanced at Billy.
"Who is it today?"
"It's Billy."
Billy lowered his head shyly, and Alpha walked over a little helplessly, and the group walked into the newly dug cavern.
"Wise old man, why did you come down?"
Leng Rui has recovered from his serious illness and has already recovered a lot, and Quasimodo is still guarding by the side, and he turned his head slightly.
"Billy ......."
"Mr. Quasimodo."
Billy's Bird leaned over like a human, and none of the other three in Billy's house liked it very much, except for Quasimodo, who was closer to her.
The five of them came to the corner of the wall, and the wise man took a deep breath.
"It's done, Jean agreed to my terms, and soon we'll be able to get out."
In an instant, Leng Rui jumped up, and just as he was about to shout, he dragged Alpha over and covered his mouth.
At this time, Leng Rui kept whimpering, nodding his head with tears in his eyes, and Billy was smiling with joy, Quasimodo, who had always been taciturn, also widened his eyes, his throat was moving, Alpha bit his lip, the corners of his mouth went up, his eyes smiled coldly, and suddenly punched a hard wall.
bang
A fist-sized hole was smashed into the wall, dust sprayed out, and the stones that the fist smashed into were crushed into powder.
"I know you're very excited, after all, in such a dark underground, the longest is more than 50 years, and the shortest is 7 years, but please remember, until the last moment, just hold back, just do the same as on weekdays, and never show the slightest joy."
