Chapter 285 - There Can Be Only One
(10 hours into the event ) (4 hours before SMG dies )
Jhonny was facing the 12 inch thich steel door extending to the terrace. And he looked at the tiny metal cutter in his hand , and sighed. He felt life was too unfair and hard for him .
There was a biometric lock on the door , and Jhonny put his eyeball right into the eyescanner, just to try his luck. However his luck was as rotten as ever as he was denied access.
Jhonny clicked his tongue , where would he find an eyeball that could open this door now , the little metal cutter in his hand could for sure not cut the door open. He was left without any options , scratching his brain for ideas.
-------
Martin Tyler : Well he had a good plan Aaron , between him and freedom lies only this one thick door , but I don"t think he will be able to open this.
Aaron Smith : Yes Martin , I think he has no choice but to unfortunately make his way to the bas.e.m.e.nt starting now , and considering he is on floor 3 , he could not be more away.
Martin Tyler : Well he could try to get the person needed to open the lock.... However who amongst the thousands of guards in this prison is that person is anyone"s guess.
Aaron Smith : He activated the metal cutter , Martin , what is he trying to achieve with this?
Martin Tyler : I don"t know , the metal cutter is not even making a scratch on the thick steel , it"s bouncing off cleanly against the surface. I think it"s hopeless , I don"t think he can open this door.
( It was at this moment that Jhonny pressed the metal cutter with all his might , trying to make a cut into the metal , however instead it slipped and lost a bit control , cutting the biometric lock mounted on the door clean in half )
( The red biometric lock got deactivated , as the locks on the door opened, Jhonny pushed the 12 inch door open )
Aaron Smith : Oh my G.o.d , what just happened , what just happened , he cut the biometric lock itself and the door got unlocked , there was no way that he could have unlocked the door soo he just cut the lock , it"s open Martin , he s close to escaping.
Martin Tyler : ooo it"s nothing short of a miracle , incomprehensible this man and his actions , absolutely incomprehensible , he solves problems in a way that my brain can"t even think of as a slightest possibility. This is a rare genius Aaron , we are but foolish mortals infront of him . His IQ definitely crossed 200 or more , twice of a smart man.
Aaron Smith : Ooh , he stops in his tracks , Victory is soo close , why is he delaying his escape soo close to victory?

Celebration started early in the j.a.panese general"s office , seemed like another gold medal was in the bag for j.a.pan .
Praises were being heavily rained on the man Jhonny English. He was hailed as the epitome of genius , a true pioneer , a champion etc , etc.
Although every single person in the room , was just scratching their heads thinking " b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l , how did he pull this off ...? ". They would not embara.s.s themselves saying it out loud. They would all nod and play ball like , ofcourse this is to be expected.
Many generals now felt the dilema of the mercenaries across the world. When Jhonny was a mercenary , he did impossible missions in ways that common sense could not comprehend. Hailed as the greatest mercenary ever , he always left others scratching their brains about how did he pull it off?
Now the generals and a.n.a.lysts around the world were left with the same situation ... Just how does one make sense of Jhonny English ?
Ethan Grey was not faring much better .... If Jhonny did it once or twice , it might be luck , but him pulling off impossible everytime in a fas.h.i.+on that n.o.body could make sense of every single time could only mean that the man was a genius beyond what common man could understand. He knew for sure that he needed to increase his ties with Jhonny , this was a extremely valuable ally.
--------
Jhonny did not escape immediately after reaching the terrace , he first looked around at the layout of the prison , only to find only one single large building. He was baffled , what the h.e.l.l was this structure.
The terrace was huge , with about 17 helipads , but only one single entrance . The one using which he came to the top.
Jhonny looked down to see the three storey jump he would need to make to get out of this prison. But he absolutely changed his mind in an instant . He did not want to give his legs a jerk , should he not be able to run the distance afterwards.
Jhonny instead decided to steal a helicopter from one of the helipads , he went in and being a mercenary with experience he knew all the controls and how to maneuver the device.
Had it been anyone else except Jhonny , a normal criminal or average player would never have known how to fly a helicopter , and hence would be forced to make the jump. However , what the players did not know was that the jump was not safe at all. As except the road made for supplies that eventually opened to the prisons bas.e.m.e.nt. The rest of the area covering the prison was a active minefield.
There was no way to safely traverse it except being blown apart. Jhonny"s choice to hence steal a helicopter made him inadvertently safe.
Jhonny stole the helicopter , and immediately got radio activity about how this was a unauthorised take off . But he paid it no mind , traversing the safe distance with a helicopter was a piece of cake as within 30 seconds he crossed the safe line to become the gold medal winner of the event!
However what he did not know was that he would be the sole winner of the event.
SMG and the man from country G would die just outside the border 4 hours later. And Josè the Mexican would get blown up in the minefield.
Hence day 2 ended , with Jhonny English being the sole medal winner for the prison escape event!
