Chase Lloyd was imprisoned for 16 months for second-degree supernatural invasion and betrayal. He was serving his sentence in Night City, the Central Prison. That legendary ghost place was engraved on the tombstones of superhuman criminals.
But he has nothing to complain about. He burned down almost a quarter of the factory, and in terms of economic efficiency, he almost wiped out a quarter of the output value of his district.
Chase has no regrets. He has sworn long ago that as long as God gives him a chance to become a superhuman, he will make his boss look good.
Facts have proved that God is favoring him, so Chase feels that he must keep his promise, even if he goes to jail for it.
In a fully enclosed armored prison vehicle, each prisoner is held in a compartment equipped with bulletproof glass. A huge and conspicuous embedded anesthetic gas nozzle is behind the car. There are still blood stains around the nozzle that have not been wiped clean. It is obvious that he has been tortured before.
Too many hits.
Chase couldn't see who the inmates next to him were. He could only see the three prisoners directly opposite him, a muscular man, a man with eyes, and a woman who looked very tough.
Yes, he is tough. Chase himself is a man with a height of 1.9 meters. He has a strong body due to long-term heavy physical labor, but the woman opposite him does not look inferior to him in terms of figure.
If the muscular man next to her didn't look like an orc warrior from the game world, she might be more conspicuous.
But right now, these prisoners are all very quiet, and no one is even willing to shake the heavy shackles.
An FBAS agent wearing a full-coverage exoskeleton, with his eyes hidden behind tactical goggles, was in charge of this prisoner transfer. His figure did not look like what he had originally intended, but the exoskeleton equipment he wore was definitely unprecedented on the market.
of high-end goods.
The first thing he did after getting in the car was to open the isolation cell of the muscular man, and then beat him with a baton indiscriminately until his skin was torn, just because the man looked directly at him.
The style of the central prison is felt by all the prisoners in the car the moment they get on the bus.
"If there is a jailbreak, you will be executed immediately without warning." The agent of the FBAS Bureau walked in the relatively spacious passage in the middle of the prison car: "If there is a jailbreak, you will be executed immediately. Even if the jailbreak is successful,
Your accomplices can only take away one body."
"If there is an armed confrontation, you will be executed mercilessly, because from now on, you are already prisoners in the Central Prison, and the only trigger for prisoners in the Central Prison is the death penalty." The agent was standing next to Cai.
In front of Sir Lloyd's cage, he looked at him as if he were prey.
"Second-degree supernatural attack, no physical injury, sixteen months in prison." The agent's voice could be heard clearly by everyone: "If I were you, I would keep an eye on other people to prevent
I was implicated and had no time to serve the sixteen-month sentence."
A simple but effective differentiation strategy. Chase could clearly feel that from then on, the eyes of the three prisoners opposite him became colder.
In order that the future would not be as difficult as it was now, Chase forced himself to look at those people. He was very capable and he deserved the respect of these people.
This is the knowledge he learned from the Internet. Because the first batch of prisoners sent to the central prison have not yet been released, everyone can only guess what the environment is like inside.
Chase Lloyd hopes that his life will not be too difficult. His ability is temperature control. He can extract the temperature from object A and pour this temperature into object B.
Even though Chase only has a high school education, he knows that his abilities can be used in industry and can at least replace an industrial-grade cooling tower, and the price of that thing is enough to buy out his entire working experience.
"The Central Prison is a large-scale greening project located in the central area of Night City. It not only provides a comfortable living environment for prisoners, but also effectively improves the air quality of Night City. It is a perfect combination of modern technology and supernatural abilities."
The only TV in the prison car was playing an advertisement about the Central Prison on a loop. Judging from the advertisement alone, the abrupt green square was like an elephant hidden in the city, which made people extremely surprised at first glance.
In contrast, there are countless horrific legends about Tang Ji. Everyone knows Tang Ji’s attitude towards superhuman criminals. No, towards criminals. In a prison completely under his control, a prisoner wants to live peacefully.
It's almost impossible to serve your own sentence.
Among the first batch of prisoners introduced to the central prison, a considerable number of them were not serious criminals. Their sentences would end within six to twelve months, but now. They are. As the agent said, only
Chase Lloyd, who is serving a 16-month sentence, is not the same as the others.
The armored prison vehicle paused for a moment, then drove onto a smoother road. Everyone in the vehicle knew that they had entered the most prosperous city in the world, the City of Night.
However, there is an armor plate at least five centimeters thick between them and this prosperity.
"We are passing by the Watson Industrial Area. Believe me, you will not like this place. It is too dangerous for you." The FBAS agent said with ridicule in his tone: "The street gangsters here can kill you.
Life, you should be glad that the crimes you committed before were not seen by them, these people are all experts."
The agent's disdainful tone made the muscular man with a face full of injuries breathe angrily, but the restraint ring that kept bursting with electricity made him sit there and breathe heavily.
"Not convinced? It doesn't matter. You will have a chance. I will remember you." The agent hit the bulletproof glass with the long-deformed baton: "We will be one-on-one then. If you beat me, I will give you something."
Bring a bottle of wine, trust me, that’s hard currency.”
The agent's powerful response made the prisoners in the prison car calm down again, especially Chase, who now began to regret his previous impulse.
He had a hunch that his life in prison would be far more difficult than he imagined.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
When the prison van finally came to a slow stop and the armored doors were opened, the agent opened the doors of all the prisoners at the same time without any scruples, as if he was not worried that they would suddenly burst into violence.
His behavior frightened the prison guards who were running this line for the first time, but Chase saw the muscular man walking at the front calm down at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by the others.
As the crowd moved, Chase finally saw what made everyone become good babies.
A pyramid made of skulls, a Beijing temple, and Tang Ji standing in front of it: "Welcome to the City of Night, I am your warden, Tang Ji."
Mikkelsen can ensure that every prisoner sent here is put to good use. Of course, it may not be just here. Two of the previous prisoners have abilities that are very suitable for subsequent classification of the frozen sea of human bodies in Sudan.
They were sent directly to Africa for mining.
Chrissy Cunningham is also currently stationed at the Central Prison. She has been unable to get rid of the consequences of tens of thousands of deaths due to insufficient ability, so she plans to enter the Central Prison for special training.
Mikkelsen admired her mentality of working hard to improve herself, so she specially allowed fifty prisoners whose abilities were not very suitable for engineering project development to serve as Chris's living targets. They were frozen into popsicles every day and then thawed.
The back and forth goes on and on.
The Central Prison may be the area with the highest density of superhuman beings in the world. Not counting the staff of the FBAS Bureau, there are a total of 2,232 superhuman criminals imprisoned here.
Their sentences ranged from sixteen months to life imprisonment. Those criminals who were truly heinous and deserved to be sentenced to death were sent directly to the Lost Mountain base to become superhuman materials waiting to be thoroughly studied.
For most people, this outcome is far more terrifying than the death penalty.
Under Mikkelsen's intervention, the entire central prison was divided into three different areas.
The center of the entire prison is also the area with the best lighting. Naturally, there are several administrative service buildings. It is also the living area for prison guards and other prison staff. It is called the inner ring.
A little further out, there is the planting area of the central prison, also known as Central, which is directly managed by the government. Those buildings with dozens of floors have been transformed into three-dimensional farms. During the day, the mirror plants that can reflect sunlight are planted from many
Provides light from various angles.
The crops grown inside are naturally the product of the Gray Field Project, and all prisoners in the central prison can work in it voluntarily.
Inmates who have completed one standard workload can receive eight hours of rest in the safe area in addition to the normal two meals a day.
A standard job for one person is enough for an ordinary person to work in the fields for twelve hours without the assistance of supernatural powers.
An ordinary prisoner who doesn't want to get into trouble or experience the laws of the dark jungle, if he doesn't have supernatural abilities that can improve his labor efficiency, can evolve into a qualified farmer in about two to three months. He can rely on this skill after he is released from prison.
Feed yourself through the craft of farming.
In addition, the central prison also provides a variety of jobs for prisoners to choose from. For example, prisoners with suitable abilities will be sent by Mikkelsen to positions where they need to shine.
For another example, superhumans whose abilities are not suitable for production can volunteer to be Ms. Chris Cunningham's target. Every six hours is equivalent to one person's standard work.
Many prisoners signed up for this job just to get one more look at women not wearing prison uniforms.
Except for the central planting area, the outer ring area seems less harmonious.
Mikkelsen allowed the prisoners to practice Darwin's laws in the outer ring area and play the game of "the strongest always gets stronger". In order to let these people have fun, he also released genetically edited animals from the Gray Field Project in this area.
product.
On the one hand, Mikkelsen wants to determine the genetic stability of these subspecies, and on the other hand, he wants to observe the changes in human group consciousness when surrounded by such subspecies for a long time.
Chase Lloyd was briefly informed of the survival rules of the inner and outer circles, and then he was freed. The prison guards from the inner circle looked at the confused prisoners with smiles, as if they were betting on their final choices.
Out of a laborer's instinct, Chase headed directly to the Central District. It looked like this place had to earn even a piece of soap, let alone food and clean water.
To Chase's expectation, the tough-looking woman also chose to go to the Central area. Because of her choice, several prison guards lost money.
As for the muscular man, he walked straight towards the road leading to the outer ring area. Chase saw several drones and immediately caught up with them.
These rules and regulations, which are very different from other prisons, make Chase behave like a rabbit, afraid to show his tail.
No one knew that he came here with a hidden mission, not even his family knew about it.
Before he was imprisoned, a mysterious man came to him and provided him with a check for one million federal dollars and a photo of his family, which was very threatening.
The only request of the mysterious man is that if he can sneak into the central prison's power supply system because of his ability, he can destroy the entire power supply system at the right time.
As for when the appropriate time is, someone else will notify him at that time.
Because of this secret, Chase Lloyd was uneasy all the way, especially after seeing Tang Ji himself, he felt breathless.
This kind of fearful day passed like this for three days. Just when Chase was rejoicing that he might not be dragged into working on the power supply system in the central prison, a prison guard came to him.
"The cooling pipeline here has leaked. We need you to take over the cooling system. You worked at the power station before. Don't let us down. This is a job that can shorten your sentence by one month." The prison guard symbolically thanked Cai.
Si introduced the new job, then looked around and saw that there were no green plants around, so he pretended to accidentally drop a paper ball and turned around to leave.
Chase's heartbeat accelerated instantly. He carefully picked up the ball of paper. It only had an eighteen-hour countdown written on it, and then it degraded directly in front of him.
But the strange thing is that the countdown has not disappeared. It is engraved on the wall in front of him and can move with his sight. Even if Chase closes his eyes, the countdown will not disappear.
This was a commission based on supernatural abilities. Chase Lloyd knew that he had no choice. For the sake of the one million and the safety of his family, he could only bite the bullet and go to the end.
Time passed minute by minute, and so did the eighteen-hour countdown. Chase was sweating profusely because of the transfer of heat, but more pressure came from the countdown itself.
He didn't know if his node could cause the entire power supply system to collapse, but the zero time was reminding Chase with a dazzling red color that he should take action.
Chase closed his eyes and stopped working. Soon a weak link in the system glowed red due to heat accumulation, and the safety device began to intervene, instantly cutting off the energy supply to the entire system.
puff.
The entire central prison fell into darkness, and even underground, the electromagnetic jammer used to interfere with spatial positioning also stopped working.
Behind this is the hard work of countless undercover agents to achieve what we have today.
