Chapter 5 Jailbreak
It was seven o'clock in the evening Moscow time, because of the latitude of Moscow, it was completely dark at seven o'clock. Prisoners in Lubyanka Prison left the factory after a day’s work and ate in the prison cafeteria as usual. Dinner in Western food is the most important meal of the day, and the dinner in Lubyanka Prison is also better than the breakfast here. And lunch, this is a rare treat for prisoners in a day. What could be better than the melodious sound of music on the radio in the sky of Lubyanka Prison.
Dinner was potato stew, a bowl of broth, and a large loaf of bread, neither good nor bad. Just when most of the prisoners hadn't swallowed their first bite of supper.
"Boom!" A loud explosion shattered all the glass in the restaurant. Some people had their hands, feet and faces scratched by the glass, and some were directly pushed to the ground by the blast. Just before everyone realizes what happened.
"Boom!" Another explosion sounded. Immediately afterwards, there were continuous explosions, and a martyrdom explosion occurred in the warehouse of the prison factory.
The explosion was caused by electromagnetic waves in the air. This wave came from a local radio station in Moscow. Since it is a small radio station, there is not enough content to broadcast throughout the day, so this radio station can only broadcast some at night. Music programs, and not all of Moscow can be listened to, only a part of the south of the city can be accepted. Lubyanka Prison is precisely within this scope, and today there is an additional special audience, that is, the device that Seryozha put in the warehouse. Electromagnetic waves carrying the program are sent into the sky through high-powered antennas, and only receivers on a specific frequency can pick up the program, including the one placed in the Lubyanka prison factory. It took Seryosha a lot of time to find the frequency of that radio station. Fortunately, all the efforts were not in vain. As originally designed, the oscillating coil generated an induced current under the influence of the electromagnetic wave of the radio station, which triggered an electric shock at the gap in the circuit. Sparks, sparks ignited the ignition device installed by Seriosha, ignited the paint and other materials in the warehouse, and finally triggered an explosion.
The successive explosions made people aware of the danger and fled in all directions. The continuous explosions in the direction of the factory also caused power failure. The surroundings of Lubyanka Prison quickly fell into darkness, not just Lubyanka Prison, The whole neighborhood was plunged into darkness, which Seryozha had not expected at all.
The searchlights that usually make people sleepless at night are gone, the high-voltage power grid is no longer useful, and even the prison's electronically controlled cell door can be easily opened. How could such a golden opportunity be missed by the prisoners? Woolen cloth? The prisoners rushed towards the gate of the prison like a tide, and there were guards who were still trying to control the situation, which soon attracted the beatings of the prisoners. Some guards hid. All the attention of the entire prison was focused on the gate.
The guards on duty outside the prison area quickly assembled and rushed to the gate of the prison with live ammunition. The two groups were huddled together, separated by a barbed wire fence. There should have been electricity here, but now it is completely a decoration. The guards were asked not to shoot lightly, so as not to anger the prisoners and cause more casualties. The front row of guards held a man-high blast shield and a baton in the other. Desperately blocking the swarming prisoners, the focus of the entire prison was on the gate.
The neighboring fire station has already started fighting the fire, and the supporting KGB troops are probably already on their way. I don’t know whether it’s because of fear or some other reason, but they finally couldn’t bear the pressure and fired. Several crisp gunshots shook the night sky. . The leaders of the prison were completely desperate. As expected, the blood completely angered the prisoners. The wall of people was finally toppled under the impact of the inmates again and again. Some guards were caught by the prisoners and they were beaten up. At first, some guards fled, and then ran out one by one like an infection. If the legs and feet are slow, they will fall into the fists and feet of the prisoners.
Seryozha and his group were not idle either. After the first explosion, they slipped to the back of the confinement room. This is the east side of the prison, and there is a hospital outside the wall. With the development of the situation, the number of guards on the wall continued to decrease, and finally disappeared. They were transferred to the gate of the prison to guard against death. Sergey and the others climbed up the high wall by stepping on people and stacking arhats. When the last person was pulled to the top of the wall, the long-lost freedom came to them. What could be more legendary than being able to escape from a heavily guarded KGB prison.
The hospital outside the wall also had a power outage. The riots in the prison, the continuous explosions, and the fire made the people in the hospital run away. Papa Petrov stole a piece of clothing in the hospital and changed into it, and Sergey and Papa Petrov hurriedly took some things that looked useful in the hospital. Some medicines, clothes, and even half a bottle of vodka were found. The others also went into their own ways, and none of them forgot who had set them free. Some of them ran over to thank Seryozha, and some hugged him goodbye.
After being separated from those people, Seryozha opened the door of a GAZ 69 with a half-meter-long steel ruler found in the hospital. Seryozha found it from the messy pile of wires under the steering wheel. The circuit of the car starter, after the circuit is connected, the starter drives the engine to run. Sergey Shale, who has been a man for two generations, knows that the short-circuit start method is also effective for this kind of old-fashioned car that starts with a key. A car that relies on the key sensor to start the car with one button, this trick is not easy to use.
Seryozha checked the fuel gauge. Luckily, the fuel tank was full.
"Students of Moscow State University have good brains." Father Petrov praised, with joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.
"Where are you going, father?" Seryozha asked.
"Siberia!" Papa Petrov replied excitedly.
Seryozha adjusted the seat to the most comfortable position, fastened the seat belt carefully, and asked Father Petrov to do the same. Then Seryosha shifted into first gear, and with the cooperation of both feet, drove the car onto the main road. The car works fine.
Papa Petrov took a sip of the stolen vodka. "Damn, that's the taste. It's so refreshing. Sergey, would you like to have a bite? It's really exciting."
Seryozha did not answer Father, but turned on the radio in the car. On the radio was an excerpt from the opera The Queen of Spades, a tragedy about a man who loses his luck and his love. Amidst the poignant singing, two men imprisoned in the Lubyanka Prison of the KGB, who were doomed to lose their freedom all their lives, were driving on the road to Siberia.
