Keys, indeed.
These two keys, one was for opening Zone C and cell doors.
The other one was for opening his own cell.
When Su Yu had taunted the prison guard earlier, he had easily stolen the guard's key using his divine-level pickpocketing skill.
From start to finish, the guard hadn't even noticed the key disappearing.
After all, he had locked himself in.
Opening the gate to Zone C didn't require a key. There were three methods to unlock it: fingerprint, password, and traditional key. The reason traditional keys were provided was that electronic locks always had a possibility of failure. Therefore, electronic locks in the country usually came with traditional keys as a backup. This was also why Su Yu had managed to get his hands on a key.
Of course, the main reason was that the divine-level pickpocketing skill was just too powerful. The guard had no idea that something was missing from him.
With the keys in his hand, Su Yu felt a bit relieved.
He was getting closer to success.
However, the key challenge wasn't leaving Zone C. After leaving Zone C, he would still need to pass through two more gates: one to exit the confinement area and enter the guards' living area, and the other to leave the entire prison. Only then would he truly escape.
He closed his eyes slowly, and in an instant, the layout of the entire prison appeared in his mind. He had observed it when he had first entered.
With an IQ of 140, he not only remembered everything but also managed to recreate it.
The entire prison was designed symmetrically. It was surrounded by walls, forming four zones. The left side was AB Zone, and the right side was CD Zone. The entrance to Zone C was the main gate, along with the slightly forward library, entertainment room, cafeteria, and public bath.
In the center was a courtyard with a central building equipped with a searchlight. Outside the central building, numerous electrical wires were connected; it was probably the power room for the entire prison.
Beyond the courtyard was the exit to the confinement area, and beyond that was the first wall. After the wall was the guards' living area, and beyond that was the exit to the prison. This was the layout of the entire prison.
At the prison exit, four guards were stationed, and the same setup applied to the walls. The same arrangement applied to the inner wall.
The entrance to Zone C had a guard station as well, also with four guards.
In other words, if he wanted to escape, he would have to face at least 20 guards, including those in the corners he hadn't observed. Moreover, every passage was covered by surveillance from the guard stations and the pursuit command center.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes.
Now, he had a 3D map of the entire prison in his mind. The key question was: how could he escape?
He already had the keys. Now he needed to figure out how to get past the first and second walls and avoid the surveillance.
He closed his eyes again and began to think.
With an IQ of 140, his thinking speed was several times, even dozens of times faster than an average person's. Just a few minutes later, he opened his eyes.
"Interesting. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a thunderstorm coming to East Sea City tonight, right?"
"Exactly, let everyone witness what real escape means during a thunderstorm..."
Su Yu lay back on the bed and waited for nightfall.
While Su Yu was waiting, the sky outside gradually darkened, and the sound of thunder became more frequent.
Immediately, Bing Bing's voice came through the broadcast.
"Just a reminder, there's going to be a thunderstorm in East Sea City tonight. Make sure to bring in your clothes, everyone."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the sound of rain started.
Bing Bing looked at the pouring rain outside and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dear viewers, would the chances of escape be higher in rainy weather?"
Facing this question, the muscular Wang Tao grinned and said, "No, the sound of thunder would make them more fearful."
"Exactly, rainy weather would increase the difficulty of their escape."
All the pursuit officials spoke with confidence, except for Zhao Wansheng, who had a slight frown on her face. She was looking at the camera monitoring Zone C, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, in Zone C, Su Yu slowly stood up.
"The opportunity has come."
