MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel

Chapter 281 - Prison Escape

The moment everyone was teleported into their respective cells , they were shocked to see the state in which they were teleported in.

The event prison escape was in a bit of a modern setting , as opposed to mediaeval setting of the general Omega. The prison was high tech , and very hard to escape from.

All competitors were teleported to floor one of the prison , and contrary to the practice breaks , here not all inmates were players. There were Npc inmates of various species here , and that made the escape that much more tricky.

Should any of the NPC rat on someone trying to escape , or threaten to rat unless they bring them along , one would be in a bind.

Everyone was spawned inside isolated cells with one window the size of one's palm on the ceiling , and one window on the thick metal door that barred the prison cell.

Additionally , the prisoners were bound by handcuffs both on their hand and their feet. Simple walking was difficult in the cell. The difficulty of the event was unlike what anyone expected .

Even if one somehow removed the bounds around their hand and feet , the metal door barring the prison cell was solid . Unlike the practice run , where it was bars , here reaching the lock?from the inside , was impossible.

Most players including SMG , that had the lockpicking wire stuffed under their tongues had the same idea about how to escape , that was to first unbound themselves from the cuffs and then somehow get the guard to open the cell door , then when the guard is least expecting it , stealthily take the guard out to ensure freedom.

This was not a bad idea , but this was not a full proof idea either . Should the guard get suspicious , or should the silent take down fail , it would spell doom for the participant.

There were three guards patrolling floor one , and many NPC inmates mixed alongwith players. It would be extremely difficult to get out of here unnoticed. SMG grit his teeth , he had freed himself from the bounds , but was not finding any openings to call over an isolated guard. He would have to take a chance , and he hated the fact that he had to gamble at the very first step of the competition. Should he be busted , it would end before it even started for him.

However , he was loosing valuable time here , he had no idea about what the prison layout was , or how much time he would need to escape the prison .

Martin Tyler : well the prison escape event has started Aaron , and well it looks like trouble came early for the participants in this competition eh. Just escaping from the cell and the first floor , is astronomical in difficulty !

Aaron Smith : Absolutely Martin , what is to be noted here is that , cuber corporation announced while announcing this event , that should nobody be able to successfully escape the prison , then nobody would get a medal from this event. There is no guarantee that there will even be a medal in this event.

Martin Tyler : Well said Aaron , we may have a single medalist or maybe only two medal winners total. The matter of time taken to clear the event only comes into play if someone actually clears the event.

Aaron Smith : Well 30 minutes had passed since the event started Martin , and yet nobody has escaped from their cell. 23 contestants have removed their constraints though , however everyone is waiting for some opening to capitalise on the advantage.

Martin Tyler: It's one of those situations where the first to act looses Aaron , if one or two guards divert their attention to a certain inmate then the others would surely capitalise on the opening .

Aaron Smith : We see movement Martin , one of the contestants from Europe , Andrew , who is free of his bounds has called for the guards.

Martin Tyler : He is coughing violently , and I assume has bit his tongue , soo that blood is pouring from his mouth , making it seem like a medical emergency he is trying the guards to open up.

Aaron Smith : well , he better be carefull , because he has the attention of two guards on him. Not one. However the other guard has been attracted by the player from Mexico , Josè , the notorious prison escapee . All the guards are distracted now Martin , let's see if something interesting happens.

SMG was carefully observing how the situation unfolded , and understanding how it worked.

José managed to take down the solo guard , and make a run from floor one?, however , Andrew who drew the attention of two guards , was busted.

While josè made a run , all the other inmates started to scream that a prisoner was escaping , however since the other guards were busy with Andrew , he managed to flee detection.

It was a brilliant move by Josè , and it gave SMG a lot of inspiration. SMG picked up on a critical point that others missed , and that was that only two other guards were left . Which meant that atmost two more people could use the guards to open the door to escape.

Thinking quick on his feet , He started to bang on the doors of his prison cell , calling the guard out. SMG called extremely vulgar insults to the guards , who was instantly taunted and started to walk towards SMG's cell with a tazer In hand.

The other contestant from Country G , the one that taunted Jhonny at the start of the event , drew the attention of the other one. Both were successful in taking down the guards , and were free to escape floor one.

The other inmates kept screaming at the top of their lungs , however nobody who was free from their cell was stopping for anybody else and no matter how much they pleaded , they went onto try escape the prison.

With all three guards down , there was currently no way to escape from the prison cell.

One hour into the event , with one inmate dead and three escaping floor one , the others started to get desperate.. Everyone except Jhonny English ofcourse , who was busy perfecting the penguin walk in his chains.
