June 2nd, seven o'clock in the morning, one hour before the prison break.
Zuo Dao stayed up all night, not because he didn't want to rest, but as long as he thought about what was going to happen the next morning, the exhaustion of enduring forty-eight hours in the coffin could not make him close his eyes.
The mist of Hades can suppress the special abilities of espers and non-system mutants. However, if one masters the use of energy deeply enough, even under the suppression of the mist, one can still use their own powers to a certain extent. Ability, this is the truth behind Zuo Dao's murder two days ago. No matter what the strength gap between the other party and him is under normal circumstances, at least at that moment, it was equivalent to a person with ability killing an ordinary person.
According to the eas classification standard, Zuo Dao's ability is energy conversion, paper level. Before Tianyi forced him to learn about energy, he had barely delved into how to use his abilities in actual combat. Otherwise, with his intelligence, he could reach the level of parallel level or even strong level before the age of twenty.
Of course, the time that has passed cannot be recovered. Many people will think that if I had chosen to be like that back then, my future life path might have changed, and maybe I would be that kind of person now. In fact, people don’t have to do this. When they give up one way of living, they are choosing another way of living.
If Zuo Dao becomes a righteous young man who works hard, hates evil, and is determined to change his destiny against nature, and constantly trains and improves his own strength, and finally becomes one of the strongest people in the world, he will no longer be Zuo Dao. He can change his name to Wang Dao and go to another place. Be the protagonist in some book.
It is precisely because he has used his talents in crooked ways, such as fraud, smuggling, forging bonds, credit cards, being a criminal middleman, and other promising businesses, that he is a pervert, and he has the temperament he has today. and encounter.
The world is always changing people, but people often cannot change the world.
But today, Zuo Dao is likely to witness the feat of artificially changing the world.
… …
At the same time, in another detention area, a madman who was completely different from Zuo Dao was fast asleep.
"Blood Owl." The prison guard opened the cell door and walked in: "Get up."
The blood owl opened his eyes, and two seconds later, there were almost no symptoms of a person who had just woken up. His eyes were alert, his body temperature increased, and his body's organs returned to optimal operation.
"What? Are you still responsible for asking people to wake up early?" the blood owl said casually.
"Stop blabbering, you are being interrogated." The prison guard replied: "Get up and leave quickly."
The blood owl thought: The interrogation... is that butcher? It has been chosen on this critical day. It seems that I am not very lucky.
He remained calm on the surface, stood up, cooperated with the prison guards, and left his cell.
Opposite the patio on the same floor of this cell, Yan Kong was sitting cross-legged on the ground as if meditating. Although the lights outside were not yet turned on, in the darkness, he was still watching the scene happening over there with the blood owl intently.
Yan Kong thought thoughtfully: "Isn't it a good sign that something happened before the battle? Could it be that it was noticed... No, it's impossible. It can only be said that this is God's will. It seems that today will not go as smoothly as that boy said. "
… …
Conditions in the living quarters of Tide Prison are poor, even worse than the living quarters of an aircraft carrier, as space is at a premium and the prison staff's living quarters are only a small area compared to the areas used for prisoners. . This space- and resource-saving design was not what Jefferson expected, but it made the most sense. As a prison warden, it is also necessary to lead by example and endure these things.
Let’s take the simplest example, a razor. The warden has not enjoyed a simple electric razor for many years. For a person who pays attention to his appearance and has to shave every day, shaving with soap and a blade is the best way to do it. It was a waste of time, but Jefferson endured it for many years. The reason was that there were no AA dry batteries in the fixed transportation supplies of Tidal Prison because they were not needed (future remote controls can communicate with the host computer wirelessly) Shared power supply, the electric shock wheel also uses this technology, which itself does not contain energy.), and there are no extra sockets on the wall of the house that can be used to plug in the shaver. From this point, we can see that the living area The conditions are so bad that if you want to charge any small item, you have to unplug a certain electrical appliance that is necessary and inferior to the house.
All in all, being on duty in Tidal Prison is not much easier than being in jail.
But there are still many people who want to come here to get a job, because the pay is very generous. As long as you work for a few months, you can work for a few months. The salary is much better than being a private or junior officer in HL or the army. .
But there is also a puzzling kind of people who stay here all year round and never take a day off. No matter how much money they have in the outside world or the situation of their families, they stick to their posts and regard guarding hell as their front line. The only mission in my life.
Jefferson was such a person, a very principled person. In his mind, everything was in order, heaven and earth, kings and ministers, father and son; loyalty, duty, justice; Jefferson gave everything an order of dignity and priority. , maybe what he did may not be right, but it must be reasonable.
Such people will not feel confused or hesitate. Even if they have a trace of guilt or doubt about something, they will never be shaken by it. In this warden's world, human nature represents evil, and only law is the only weapon to suppress or sanction this evil.
As the old saying goes, etiquette guides the people, and laws serve as stubbornness. Jefferson's belief is that since the etiquette, justice and shame in "morality" cannot restrain human nature, the only way to restrain these die-hards is by using criminal law.
Of course, after serving the empire for many years, the warden and warden of Tide Raid Prison will still receive substantial rewards. These two positions stipulate mandatory resignation at the age of fifty. When they leave Hell Island, they will be greeted by a prince who will personally take the great cadre who has been working at his job for at least ten years to Tiandu. The emperor granted him a noble title and an incredibly huge pension. The current warden, Sean, worked his way from prison guard to his current position step by step because of the noble title and bounty. After a few more years, he would get what he wanted.
This morning, at 7:15, the warden stood in front of the mirror to arrange his appearance, preparing to go to the office to start the day's work.
After turning on the faucet, wiping off the foam with a towel, and rinsing the razor, Jefferson was full of energy and ready to go. He put the sanitary utensils into the cabinet in front of him and closed the cabinet door.
At the same second, a classic scene from a horror movie appeared. Jefferson saw a figure standing behind him in the mirror on the cabinet door.
The bathroom is very narrow. Even the bathroom in the warden's room is not as spacious as the average prison guard's bathroom. It is difficult to stretch out your arms and turn around. Therefore, Jefferson did not act rashly. He had a concept in his mind. This is the Godless Fog area. If a person with considerable strength approaches him, there is no reason why he cannot feel it. The person standing behind is at most a parallel level. As long as a person with abilities uses energy to protect his body, the opponent will not be able to take advantage of him.
"Don't be afraid, Warden, I'm not here to take your life." Tianyi said.
"I doubt whether you can take my life just by yourself." Jefferson said bluntly.
"Oh? What if I am aiming a shotgun at your groin right now, ready to reach forward, stab, and pull the trigger at any time?" Tian Daodao: "If the bullet explodes in your intestines, you can still Use energy to defend it?"
Jefferson said: "Humph... It's an interesting hypothesis, but there is a problem with this joke." When he spoke, he was already standing at the door of the bathroom, facing Tianyi: "Any action you make will not matter to me." Come on, it’s all like slow motion.”
Tianyi smiled and said: "You were afraid that I would put what I just said into action in 'slow motion', so you changed your standing position, right?"
Jefferson said: "I don't want to engage in boring psychological warfare or verbal disputes with you. Tell me, who are you? How did you get in?"
Tianyi replied: "Even if I tell you my name, you don't know me. In terms of your ability, I don't mean to belittle you, but just sorting out the information of prisoners in the prison is a project that takes years. , not to mention that the list of these prisoners is still changing all the time. The files of some dead prisoners cannot be destroyed immediately. Paper materials must be kept for several years, and all data must be retained.
Mr. Warden, how long has it been since you cared about the outside world? There is no information about the prisoners on this planet who have not yet been arrested, that is, the guys who are on the loose. These people are complete strangers to you. If you take a brief look at major global current events, you should already know who the right-winger you subpoenaed a few days ago is. Why check his information before subpoenaing him? "
"Huh... But you seem to know a lot of things, not just things outside, but also things in this prison, things... you shouldn't and cannot know." Jefferson replied in a cold tone.
Tian Daodao: "To make a long story short, it's harder for you to trick me than to trick someone here, and it's harder than interrogating any prisoner in this prison. So, you don't need to further test what I don't want to tell you. Now, Let’s negotiate a deal.”
"Deal? Do you think that under the circumstances here and now, you are qualified to negotiate any conditions or exchange of benefits with me?" Jefferson felt funny because he felt that he could subdue the man in front of him with just one stretch of his hand.
However, Tianyi ignored Jefferson's rhetorical question and went on to say, "I want to take away three prisoners from Tide Prison."
Jefferson only listened to it as a joke: "Then, if I agree to your proposal for some reason, such as suddenly going crazy or something like that, what will you give me in exchange for it?"
Tianyi said: "I can let other prisoners stay."
Jefferson's expression suddenly changed. He heard an incredibly terrifying message from these words, but he quickly regained his composure and replied with a sneer: "I understand what you mean, you mean, if If I don’t let you take away the three prisoners you designated, will you release the entire prison?”
Tianyi answered decisively: "Yes."
"Hahahaha..." Jefferson laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "What are you going to do?"
Tianyi replied: "First, I cut off the energy supply of the entire island, causing all the devices here that rely on remote wireless power to malfunction. The air circulation system will stop, and the effect of the divine mist will disappear within an hour; the electric shock wheel will lose its function , when the ability users and mutants recover, they can be easily removed; your prison guards, the pitiful self-contained power in the armored uniforms can only last for an hour, and in battle, it can last up to twenty minutes. After being severely damaged, the armor's power will give priority to supporting the life support system, so... Going back to what I just said, the air circulation system, the lack of oxygen has a far greater impact on the combat effectiveness of prison guards than that of ordinary prisoners.
In the second step, my companions and I will enter the prison, directly invade the special detention area, try to destroy the net alloy, defeat the high-level guards there, and use your system connected to Tiandu to broadcast the life-and-death struggle of prisoners. , broadcast the situation in the prison to Tiandu, and release those W-level mutants and high-risk prisoners above the murder level to create panic.
The third step is to command and assist the prisoners in the out-of-control prison to escape, persuade them to unite as much as possible, escape from Hell Island, and face the encirclement and suppression troops sent by the outside world. Believe me, after I complete the second step, those The troops will be here soon.
The fourth step is to take my people, stay out of the situation, and flee the scene... "
"Have you forgotten something? Mr. boastful lunatic." Jefferson said: "You should add one step to all these steps, which will take my life, otherwise you can't even get out of this room at this moment. "
"Hehehe... Hahaha... Hahahahahaha!!" Tianyi laughed crazily: "You know, hehe... you can already kill me."
Jefferson stared into the other person's eyes, but couldn't understand Tianyi's thoughts at all: "What did you say?"
"Our negotiations have broken down, haven't we? I didn't know much about you originally, it was all in writing. After meeting today, I understand that you are not the kind of person who would make a deal with me." Tianyi Explained: "So, kill me, otherwise everything I just said will be put into action and become reality."
Jefferson pressed the button on the intercom on the wall: "I am the warden. Listen to the prison guards near my lounge. Send two people over with a universal electric shock wheel and handcuffs and shackles."
Tianyi didn't care what the other party did, he just continued what he said: "Actually, even if you kill, all this will still happen. If you don't believe it, we can try." Before he finished speaking, Tianyi rushed to Jefferson with one hand. Use your palm to chop towards the side of the opponent's neck.
His movements were very slow and he didn't use energy. He didn't look like a high-level ability user hiding his strength. What on earth did he want to do...
Jefferson pondered in his mind and casually received Tianyi's attack with one hand: "I think you are just a simple lunatic. How did you enter Hell Island from the outside? Did you use abilities such as space transfer..."
Tian Daodao: "What a disappointing reaction. Don't you even have the cruelty to decisively kill an attacker... Then I will do it myself." As he spoke, the pupils of his eyes suddenly became bloodshot and his face turned pale.
Jefferson asked in shock: "What are you doing?" He did not see Tianyi commit suicide by taking poison, but at this moment, the other person was obviously in a state of near death.
Tianyi's expression was very strange. He spoke with difficulty, but his tone was very relaxed: "There are hundreds of ways to die suddenly. Although the chance of it happening is very small,..." This sentence was interrupted because Tianyi died so absurdly. .
Only thirty seconds passed before the body dissipated into a puff of black smoke.
Jefferson couldn't tell whether this was a nightmare or something that really happened...
… …
At 7:35, the submarine had reached the waters near Hell Island in stealth mode.
Everyone in the reverse cross heard the boss's voice again.
"Okay, gentlemen, I just made an unsuccessful attempt. It seems that the warden is a tough nut to crack, so... let the plan proceed as usual."
The gunsmith wondered: "What did you just do? Is there a plan B?"
The consultant said; "I guess he just went to see the warden and wanted to make a deal or something."
The gunsmith was stunned: "What? How did you get into prison?"
Before Tianyi could answer, the consultant interjected: "Theoretically, the bookstore can be moved in, but the moved location must meet the bookstore's 'transfer conditions'. Although it relies on the technological rules of 'black literature', the device is yours after all." You should understand if you think about it carefully."
The gunsmith said: "Then why didn't we use the method of moving the bookstore to escape from the beginning?"
Tianyi finally interjected on the broadcast: "Shenwu, Denshunlun, Jefferson, Sean... etc., etc., unless the submarine you built is shrunk to the point where it can freely enter and exit the bookstore door, and its functions are the same as now, Otherwise, if we go in, we will be trapped in a trap."
"Then aren't you going in now?" the gunsmith asked.
"Nonsense, you all drove to the edge of the island, and the prison will be in chaos in twenty minutes. Am I still worried about being caught?" Tianyi replied.
The advisor sneered: "If you are caught now, I will definitely take over the command immediately, order everyone to return, and cancel the prison escape."
Tianyi almost didn't think much before replying: "Do you believe I sent your nude photos to Steel Commandment?"
The consultant said: "Where did you get it..." He stopped here and did not dare to ask further. He knew that after asking this question, Tianyi would take advantage of the opportunity to answer. Since you don't believe it, I will try to get a few. .
"Okay, your funny life has a long way to go. Boss, why don't you consider moving the bookstore to the submarine first, and if you are discovered there..." Gambler said, his suggestion was more reliable at the critical moment.
Tianyi's voice suddenly came from behind them: "I came back before I spoke to you."
The group of people turned around and found Tianyi walking in from the door of the bridge, speaking to the fate on his wrist.
The consultant broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself: This bastard, it's a good thing I didn't continue arguing with him just now, otherwise he might come over quietly and give me a slap and take pictures...
Tianyi walked to the crowd: "Comrades, the time for the decisive battle has arrived. All Qianqiu's great achievements were completed in one battle. Those words that we have tried our best are exclusive lines for losers. We will not say them. Today we are unsuccessful..." Can’t become benevolent…”
