Chapter Fifty: The Water Well

  "Rat-a-tat-tat." At the sentry post on one corner of the high wall, the guard had already discovered the anomaly here. Just as Muhammad turned around the corner of the wall, the RPK machine gun in the guard's hand swept over this way.

  The bullet hit the ground beneath Muhammad, whizzing past, and Muhammad quickly retreated to the corner of the wall. At the same time, the AK-74 rifle in his hand had its trigger pulled.

  "Bang." The bullet flew out of the barrel and landed on the high sentry post across, instantly silencing the machine gun above.

  What an accurate marksmanship! Osama admired from behind, and with Muhammad's gesture, the two broke out together.

  With the sound of gunfire, the entire prison suddenly fell into chaos.

  A squad of Soviet soldiers came quickly in the direction from which the shots had come, their cartridge pouches bouncing against their hips.

  Soon they saw two convicts running out of the prison and immediately stopped, half-kneeling, aiming, shooting!

  From the prison to the wall, there is a distance of fifty meters. If they can run through this fifty-meter distance, Muhammad and Osama still have a chance to survive. If they cannot run through this distance, they will be easily eliminated.

  Muhammad also knew that the situation was so dangerous, at this time, no matter what, they could not run away, Muhammad had to give up the plan to run to the prison gate, let alone even if they got there, they couldn't open the door.

  "Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-tat." With the sound of gunfire, countless bullets formed a hail of lead, shooting towards Muhammad and Osama's direction, no one could survive such a barrage!

  Just then, Muhammad suddenly fell down, rolled over and his body disappeared.

  "Cease fire!" the Soviet squad leader shouted.

  As Muhammad and Osama were running, they passed by a well. Just then, Muhammad accidentally rolled into the well while rolling.

  The Soviet squad leader saw one prisoner tumble into the well and another also tumbling in, immediately ordered to cease fire.

  It's simply suicidal! The first culprit, perhaps unintentionally, and the second one, completely intentionally. These two would rather jump into a well to die than leave their complete bodies behind, purely disgusting the Soviet prison guards.

  There's a corpse in the well, so it can't be used again. And this prison is almost entirely dependent on drinking water from that very well.

  Thinking of this, the Soviet squad leader felt somewhat depressed. He ordered his men to put down their guns and then slowly surrounded the well.

  The sky has almost turned dark, and the well is pitch black, nothing can be seen.

  "What's going on?" Just then, a voice sounded in his ear.

  The Soviet squad leader looked up to see a lieutenant colonel and a woman, the woman had no military rank on her uniform, but she had an air of superiority about her, it was she who had just asked the question.

  "Two convicts tried to escape and were shot by us. Having no way out, they jumped into the well and killed themselves." The Soviet sergeant said to the woman.

  Kurni Aiva looked at the well and suddenly changed color: "Fool, you fools from the Caucasus, the prisoner has escaped!"

  Run away? The Soviet squad leader was taken aback. The women in front of him didn't even glance into the well, yet they knew the culprit had escaped? This is a well, how can one escape?

  "Immediately blockade the entire Jalalabad and find out the offender!" Kuruniyeva said: "The offender knows many secrets of Moscow!"

  Moscow has replied, Makhmad's intelligence is correct, after receiving a response from Moscow, Kulneva immediately returned with the officer to re-examine Makhmad. Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, the prisoner escaped, and Kulneva knew that there was no one else, it must be Makhmad!

  What a cunning opponent!

  Suddenly, Kuruni Awa crouched down, reached out to touch the ground, put it to her nose and smelled a bloody smell.

  Muhammad's arm was shot, the bullet is still inside and hasn't been pulled out. During the interrogation, Kurbanova made Muhammad's wound bigger, although it had been bandaged before being thrown into a cell, Muhammad's intense movements caused fresh blood to flow from the wound.

  With this fresh blood, it's not difficult to find Muhammad.

  "Get two Caucasian sheepdogs over here." Kurbanova said: "Send someone down the well to see where the tunnel leads, Mukhamad won't get far."

  Under this well, there is actually a tunnel! This made everyone suddenly shocked and admired Kulnieva's judgment. She just knew that the criminal had jumped down the well and knew that there was a tunnel here.

  Muhammad also knew about the tunnel after jumping into the well.

  Placed in a dead end and then reborn, Muhammad had no other choice. If he didn't jump into the well, he and Osama would have been shot to death instantly when the opponent pulled the trigger. At that moment, both of them had to jump into the well.

  Originally, Muhammad had planned to spread his arms and legs at the moment he fell into the well, propping himself against the wall of the well, waiting for those Soviets to approach, and then suddenly launch a surprise attack, killing all those Soviets.

  Who would have thought that the well wall was extremely smooth, Muhammad's injured arm couldn't support the weight of his body, and Osama fell down from above, Muhammad's body slid along the well wall.

  The well is unknown in depth, if it's shallow, nothing will happen, but if it's deep, it can absolutely drown people to death, because there's nothing to grab onto inside the well, once you fall in, without anyone to rescue, you'll absolutely not be able to come up.

  Just as he was about to fall into the water, Muhammad suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from the side, and his heart was filled with joy.

  He strained every muscle and crawled into the hole beside him, at the same time grabbing Osama.

  In this way, the two of them entered the underground tunnel inside the well and slowly made their way forward along the tunnel.

  At this time, shouts came from the top of their heads, and the Soviets had arrived.

  Since being thrown into this world by the hand of fate, Muhammad knew that he would always have various fortunes and misfortunes. Moreover, Muhammad was not afraid to die; dying and then crossing back over would be much better than staying here.

  The pain in his arm kept coming, Muhammad bit the bandage with his teeth and continued to tie up the wound on his arm.

  That bullet is still inside, tormenting Muhammad's nerves at all times.

  This prison has a long history, and just a few years ago, there was a case of prisoners disappearing, which was never solved at the time, and no one knew how the prisoners escaped. Now, Muhammad and Osama have uncovered the mystery.

  Although it was pitch black in the tunnel, the two of them were still walking quickly, and the cool wind blowing through the tunnel was their best guide.

  The road wasn't long, after walking for ten minutes, suddenly it brightened up ahead.

  A round moon was reflected in the water, and on this side was also a well. Looking at the newly risen moon on the surface of the water, Muhammad thought of the story of scooping the moon from the water.

  Just then, footsteps came from behind the wall, and at the same time, there was a faint light of a flashlight.

  The Soviets discovered the secret so quickly and caught up! Muhammad was startled, he made a gesture to Osama, and the two quickly exited from the cave entrance.

  This Soviet soldier, the same monitor, did not shoot two prisoners, he had a serious dereliction of duty, and then volunteered to climb out of the well, and indeed found a hole.

  He crawled into the hole, flashing his flashlight and feeling his way forward. He had only one task: to find the exit of the cave and then call out to his own people, especially those two Caucasian Shepherd dogs, to chase after the fugitive.

  This tunnel isn't long, after walking for a while, he saw a bright light ahead, and the entrance was in sight!

  Where is this? He poked his head out of the hole and looked up. It turned out to be a well!

  Wait a minute, something seems off. He looked around again and saw two people climbing on the well wall like geckos, staring at him coldly.

  Oh no! The culprit hasn't escaped yet! I chased too quickly myself!

  He just wanted to quickly pull his head back, suddenly, there was a severe pain on his brain, and then, he felt nothing.

  "Plunge." The whole body fell into the well.

  Muhammad had already grasped a brick he had dug out from the well wall and heavily smashed it onto that head, no matter how high one's martial arts skills were, they would be knocked down by this single brick!

  Knock him unconscious, Muhammad and Osama two people, his body was lifted from the cave entrance, thrown into the well, followed by two people along the brick wall of the well, climbing up.

  This is a street corner, now in the 80s, tap water was not fully popularized even in big cities like Jalalabad, many people drank well water, Muhammad climbed up to the well platform, looking at the prison nearby, he could escape from inside, what great luck.

  "Thanks to Allah, we have finally escaped from the prison of Soviet Satan." Osama said: "Mr. Muhammad, thank you for saving us this time, please allow me to follow your footsteps and fight with you..."

  "Stop talking and run!" Muhammad said.

  The prison gate was opened and from afar, several off-road vehicles drove out. From a distance, Muhammad heard the sound of dogs barking.

  Those despicable Soviets have actually brought out military dogs!

  When sending someone to follow the local guide, Kulneva did not hesitate. After the soldiers gathered and the military dogs were led out, Kulneva came out with the lieutenant colonel together.

  That god-like Muhammad, how many secrets of Moscow did he know? How did he find out? And how much do the Americans know? Kulnev knew that if Muhammad was not brought back, those big shots in Moscow, especially the head of the KGB, would not be able to sleep at night.

  Two Caucasian Shepherd dogs ran in front.
