048. Energy crisis

With Commander Cobra's narration, the original appearance of the whole thing gradually appeared in front of Chen Chen's eyes.

Originally, when the prison was built, a large amount of energy and resources were stored in it, and the amount of this prison could run for thousands of years.

But the problem is that after the previous wardens took office, when they saw such a huge amount of resources and energy, they immediately started to think carefully, and they naturally did not cherish the things they got for nothing, and only cared about using these things to make weapons and equipment in large quantities, and to dominate the original world.

By the time the previous warden took over, there were still a lot of materials and resources left in the prison, but the energy had already been consumed, and this extremely advanced dimensional prison was about to face an energy crisis.

What does the energy crisis mean?

Running out of energy means that systems will cease to function, treatment rooms, training grounds, monitoring rooms, and even the production of food and water will stop.

What's worse is that those defenses will fail!

A group of criminals with terrible strength, without something that can restrain them, what will they do?

Thinking of this question, Chen Chen shuddered.

"So, the previous warden approached a few of us on the second floor and told us about these things." Commander Cobra sighed: "And we also know that the consequences of this matter are serious, so we are willing to cooperate with him to help him gain the support of powerful forces in the original world, so that he can deliver energy to the prison, but unfortunately, it didn't take long for him to die in the power struggle, until you take over now." ”

"Understood...... Chen Chen gently rubbed his forehead: "Once the energy is exhausted, this prison will fall into complete chaos, not only will I, the warden, be affected, but you weak criminals will also face the threat of those powerful criminals in the lower layers, and even be directly killed by them." ”

"That's right." Gilian on the side also took over the conversation: "When the time comes, the criminals below will escape and find that the resources are limited and the number of people is large, and it is likely that they will go on a killing spree to reduce the consumption of resources, so that they can dominate this place and those resources." ”

"And, don't forget, the prison's system can connect to dimensional portals." Commander Cobra let out a grim laugh: "If they take control of the system and teleport to all planes, then we can only say that God bless those planes." ”

"And that includes the plane I'm in." Chen Chen shook his head with a wry smile, he already understood everything at this time: "No wonder when I upgraded the second-level permission, I was given the permission to bring items in." It's all about bringing in energy and resources from outside to keep the prison running. ”

"That's right." The assistant finally replied: "Now it is not just your personal crisis, but the crisis of these weak criminals, and even the entire prison and even all planes. ”

"Perhaps, this is the result that the builders did not expect, the more a superior environment and conditions are provided, those wardens will act arbitrarily and do not know what to do, and eventually die by themselves, you are now facing a mess, but you will be vigilant enough, I hope you can really perform your duties well, as a warden, to maintain this prison."

Chen Chen frowned, groaned and did not speak.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also consciously remained silent, not daring to disturb his thinking.

After a while, Chen Chen slowly raised his head, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But speaking of which, why should I bother with these things?" Even if those powerful criminals escape, they won't necessarily invade my plane, it's a matter of probability, even if they do invade my plane, there will be various [***] teams to resist, in that case, why should I bother to put myself in an extremely dangerous situation? ”

"But if a powerful criminal invades your plane, you won't be spared." Hearing this answer, the rest of the people immediately became anxious: "When the time comes, not only will we die, but you will also die?" ”

"I said, it's a matter of chance." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head: "If I don't care, the criminals may not necessarily invade our plane, even if they invade, there is still the army to resist, I still have some chance of surviving, but if I intervene, I will directly face danger, since they can all die, I have to choose a method with a good chance of survival, right?" ”

"Isn't it? Do you think so? The faces of the rest of the people suddenly changed: "Anyway, we have helped you so much, and you don't care about us now or not?" ”

"Do you believe him?" At this time, Simon Heyer, who had been silent, laughed: "Hehehe, his principle of life is mutual benefit, do you think he really doesn't want to do it?" It's just that you don't get the corresponding benefits, right? ”

Hearing Simon Heyer say this, Nikita and Natasha, who knew something about Chen Chen, also laughed: "It seems that this is going to negotiate terms with the assistant, right?" ”

was exposed by these people, Chen Chen spread his hands disappreciatively, and stopped pretending to be stupid at the moment: "That's right, I won't talk nonsense, assistant, if you want me to do it, you have to give me some new permissions, otherwise I won't agree!" ”

"Permissions only change when you upgrade." The assistant's cold voice replied.

"That's normal, but it's an extraordinary time, so evaluate it yourself." Chen Chen sneered: "You also know that this is not my business, but the crisis faced by the entire prison and even the plane, at this time, all of us, including you, must unite to deal with it together, if you are not willing to cooperate, I am not sure that I can deal with it, and I have never liked to do things that I am not sure of." ”

The assistant was silent and did not answer, presumably judging in advance.

Seeing that he didn't directly refuse, there must be room for things, Chen Chen hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and added: "To be honest, I don't ask too much, give me the third-level authority in advance first, at least let me have more guarantees when I act." ”

When this request was made, everyone present also opened their eyes wide and looked expectant.

After a long silence, the assistant finally spoke up again: "Okay, I had to upgrade my authority to give you this, but there is a sub-priority principle in my system settings, which must ensure the safety of the prison." Since this is an extraordinary time, and the impact of Level 3 clearance is not great, there is nothing wrong with you. ”
