Chapter 1631
Austin’s eyeballs moved, finally showing a response.
However, his eyes merely shifted to nce at Mike, then stared back at the ceiling.It was clear that
Austin did not trust him.
Having anticipated this, Mike smiled and sat down by the bed.
"You don’t trust me, do you?"
Austin did not bother to look at him.
‘Isn’t that obvious?’
"You’re right not to trust me.After all, who could we trust in this world?"
Mike said with a tinge of emotion as if talking to himself.
Then he added, "You can choose not to believe me and think I’m lying to you again, but note that I will
not repeat what I’m going to say, and it’s up to you whether or not to believe it."
Without waiting for Austin’s response, he continued, "You''ll be transferred to another ce
tomorrow.We’re ditching this ce and will relocate our experiment to a newer, bigger, and safer
ce.For you, tomorrow will be the best time to escape."
Austin kept telling himself that Mike was a liar and that he should not trust him again after getting
dupedst time.
Still, he could not help but listen intently when he heard the word "escape."
Despite himself, he slowly moved his gaze to Mike sitting beside him.Mike stared ahead and seemed to
be talking to Austin, but on a more careful observation, it did not seem like it.
"Tomorrow, someone will bring you to a car and take you to a new research center.The personnel here
will depart at different times to avoid drawing people''s attention.
‘If you can estimate the time, find a way to break free and seize control of the car 20 minutes after your
departure.You might save yourself if you can get anyone’s attention or create amotion.However..."
After a pause, Mike slowly continued, "If you miss that window, not only will you fail to escape, but you
might suffer grave consequences.Do you understand?"
‘Of course I do! No one treats me as a human being in this hellhole.I''ve suffered a gunshot wound,
hunger, and endless imprisonment during this period.
‘All this is nothingpared to the unknown virus that has been tormenting me nonstop day and night.
So, how much worse will I be if I fail to escape? It’s already worse than death, and I have nothing to
fear.’ Austin’s dried lips moved, and he finally opened his mouth to speak, but since he had not spoken
for a long time and had screamed in pain whenever the drug took effect, his voice was husky and
sounded like wind blowing through a broken trumpet.
"You guys used a special knot.How can I break free from these ropes?" he asked the most crucial
question.
What Mike suggested sounded simple but took work to implement.
Having been locked up for so many days, Austin had tried to escape, but the knots they used on him
were unbreakable.
Whenever the drug took effect, he would be in agony and drained of energy, unable to even kill himself
by mming against the wall.
‘If they transfer me to another ce, I’m afraid they won’t only tie me up with ropes and drug me to
quiet me down.Furthermore, people will have their guard up against me and make it challenging for me
to escape.He makes it sound so simple.’
"You don’t need to worry about that.You’! know when they tie you up.They’ll also feed you a drug before
you depart, but feel free to take it.Just remember to take this first before you do."

Mike slowly reached out his hand and spread his fingers as he spoke.
A small pilly in his palm, but Austin hesitated.He did not move or take the pill while his eyes dripped
with mistrust.
Mike shoved the pill into Austin’s hand, then closed his fingers so that he could hold it tight.
"I don’t have time to win your trust, and it wouldn’t be necessary.Remember every word I told
you.Whether you do it or not, it’s up to you."
He got up and seemed to be leaving.
"Why?" Austin suddenly spoke, "Why help me?"
