Chapter 612: The Place with the Most Talent in the World
The highest power group at the Ricks Island prison soon convened a discussion.
Li Shaoyang and the others were invited to rest in the room on the side, and the prison director Max sat in the middle and looked at the representatives of the four prisoner quarters: "You have all heard his words, do you want to cooperate with him?" β
"That so-called space gate is on the top floor of the Empire State Building...... "The boss of the East End whispered, "That Asian kid has already told us just now, we even know the location, do we still need to cooperate with him?" β
The boss of the West Side shook his head: "The Empire State Building is in Manhattan, half of New York City, do you think it is very easy to pass, these three guys have crossed half of New York City, according to him, at least thousands of zombies have been hunted." β
The boss of the southern district snorted, "You think he has a secret passage? Don't forget, we tried to find the entrance to the underground passage in New York at the bottom of the sea a few days ago, and it turned out that in the drainage system of New York, it was full of zombies, which was even more terrifying than the above, and we went to more than 300 people, and all of them were turned into new zombies. β
The underground passages in New York can be said to be relatively developed, and the classification is distinct, there are drainage systems, underground sewage treatment systems, plus subway passages, etc., under New York City, there is definitely a complex underground city. But soon after the outbreak of the virus, a large number of rice people sneaked into the underground, and there were a lot of them, and now all these people have become underground zombies.
As a result, Ricks Island's attempt to escape New York through the underpass failed, which is why the South Side boss is now asking.
Prison Warden Max interjected at this time: "Their weapons really don't look like modern technology, unlimited ammunition...... So the exchange system he said might really exist, and my suggestion is to cooperate with them, especially the kid named Liudaoji, his strength is amazing......"
The warden got up and said in a deep voice: "Forget about God, at this time, whoever has the strength is the boss." After speaking, he looked at the boss of the North District.
Of the four wards of Ricks Island Prison, the North Ward is full of minor offenders, many of whom are economic prisoners, and some of whom have only been sentenced to two or three years. This section also has the largest number of prisoners. Now the boss of the North Side has not spoken, so the prison director Max has begun to urge him to vote.
"Dear Warden, brothers......" The North District Boss said slowly: "Why should we run away, if that Asian boy is telling a lie, we will not be able to come back, and now in this hell of New York, what better place is there than here?" β
He slowly stood up: "We are on the small island of the East River, isolated from the city, surrounded by several layers of defense, and a wall against zombies, although the supply is a little tight, but there will be no starvation for a while, and we still have various ways to make food." Why go? β
The North District Boss asked again, and then sat down slowly: "Forgive me." We, the brothers in the North District, don't want to leave. β
Prison Warden Max was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "No problem, if you are willing to stay, we will not force it, but I must go out." β
Max clenched his fists: "There are more and more zombies on the periphery, there are more and more zombies lurking in the water, they have discovered this island, for the zombies, this is a table of hot food, I don't want to wait for them to come to dinner." β
The bosses of the other three districts all nodded.
Prison Warden Max slowly walked over to the North Boss and put his hand on his shoulder, "Are you sure you want to stay with them?" β
The boss of the North District swallowed: "Yes, dear sir, we are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but we have chosen the best strategy......"
There was a click, and before he could finish his sentence, he was caught in the neck by a wire in the hand of the prison warden Max, and the bosses of the other three wards immediately jumped up, and two grabbed his arm, and one jumped up and pressed his knee against his chest. With another push from the warden Max, the neck of the North Side boss was torn.
"I'm really sorry......" The warden gasped and wiped the blood from his hands: "If we want to rush out, there must be enough people to act together, and there must be more fighters, the more the merrier." The inmates of the North District...... They have to go out with us, or no one will have a chance. β
After wiping his hands, the warden Max ordered: "Let the North District choose a new boss, by the way, bring a few more people over, although those guys in the North District are all fucking rubbish, but after all, there are a lot of people." β
Several bosses sighed and went silently.
Prison Director Max rearranged his clothes and asked the prison guards to deal with the dead representative of the North District, and then met with Li Shaoyang again.
He regained his demeanor, asked the guards to prepare the meal, and then said, "We have agreed, let's move together and rush from here to the Empire State Building." By the way, the two people you are looking for, say their names, and I'll let them find them now. β
Takahashi's elder brother is named "Miyamoto Chio", but Jasmine is looking for "Aoyama Chihiro", both of which are Dongying names, and they don't know the English names of the two, so in the end, they wrote out these two names and handed them over to the prison guards to find.
"The Ricks Island prison was fully electronic a long time ago." The prison warden was a little regretful: "It's a pity that all the computers can't be used, otherwise it would only take a few seconds to find two people, and now we can only use the most primitive method." β
Hearing this, Jasmine couldn't help but point to the surveillance camera in the office: "How can they still work, aren't they all out of power?" β
The prison warden smiled slightly: "This is our own power generation, although there is no network, but electricity is still available." β
Prison Warden Max told them about his generator with great interest: "God forbid, when this damn cover appeared, there happened to be an oil tanker on the East River, that kind of large oil tanker, directly cut in half by the cover, half of which flowed here, and we found 300,000 tons of light oil ...... in half of the ship."
300,000 tons of finished light oil ensures the energy supply of the entire Ricks Island, and it is very luxurious to use it for a long time.
As they spoke, the guards brought their mealsβfour potatoes per person, or baked potatoes, which were very large, and a little black and red dipping sauce on the side, but they didn't know what they were.
"You're welcome, we grew it ourselves." The prison warden pointed to the potatoes and said, "Once a week, we can harvest tens of thousands of them each time, which is the food source of our prison." β
After eating the fragrant baked potatoes, the warden took them on a tour of the park in the middle of the windbreak area, which has now been transformed into a fertile field of hundreds of acres, all planted with potatoes.
The warden looked at the potatoes and suddenly said, "Do you know that the place with the most talent in the world is not a school, not a large company, not even the White House, but a prison. β
He smiled and shook his head: "This is what my predecessor left me when I was the prison warden, which is really reasonable." β
The warden of the prison said of the beginning: "When the virus started to infect, our management staff was completely confused, and it was the prisoners who first came up with a plan to protect themselves. A felony from the West Side, who was an executive in the government's security department before he was imprisoned, and once personally formulated an apocalyptic plan for the government, the Resident Evil Planet, and the planet hitting the Earth...... and other apocalyptic modes have been profoundly studied. β
The warden shook his head and said: "It is this guy who predicted the future of New York before the zombies appeared, and according to the self-protection plan he specified, from the defense of Ricks Island, the internal administration, and even the election of representatives of the four major prison districts, the power mix of the five-person team...... With these, the prison was not chaotic, but united. β
The warden paused at this point, then pointed to the potatoes in front of him and said: "The supply of the Ricks Island prison is provided once a week, and the day after the virus started, we had a food crisis, and then we found two experts among the prisoners, one is a nutrition expert and the other is a biology expert, and they formed a team, and they found several experienced farmers and breeding experts in the southern district, and finally they made a plan to grow potatoes. β
There are many mortals in the prison on Ricks Island, but only a small number of them are extremely vicious and only know how to kill, and most of them are elites from all walks of life, those who have gone on the wrong path. For example, a biologist who was imprisoned for studying the virus, a high-ranking government official who was imprisoned for selling intelligence abroad, and even a former WE boxing champion and a former Wall Street predator.
When these people were locked up in prison and suddenly encountered the zombie apocalypse, their strength was gathered together to create a safe place like Ricks Island.
With the help of hundreds of thousands of tons of energy, the gang has turned the prison into a self-sustaining and recyclable system. From the use of household waste by prisoners to the search for alternative meat products, it has entered the research stage. It can be said that the idea that the boss of the North District wants to stay is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but really sees another hope on this island.
Of course, these so-called hopes are based on the premise that zombies can't rush in, they can grow their own potatoes, find the best food for uninfected fish underwater, refine pure water, and even build some generator sets or something. But it can't resist the invasion of zombies.
"How many weapons do you have?" Li Shaoyang suddenly asked.
The prison warden licked his lips: "According to the prison self-protection plan we have formulated, there can't be too many weapons, and if there are too many, you won't be able to control the situation, so now the people with firearms account for only one percent of the total personnel, and the others are holding self-made weapons that can only protect themselves." β
Li Shaoyang smiled slightly: "What Mr. Prison Warden means, it seems that there are as many weapons here as you want." β
Prison Director Max smiled meaningfully: "Brother, don't forget what I just said, the most important thing in prison is talent, and you want to get weapons...... Do you know how many arms dealers are locked up here? β
He casually took out a card on the table, handed it to Li Shaoyang and said, "This guy can take us to find a weapon that can arm an army at any time." β
Li Shaoyang looked down at the card, and there was a name written on it: Victor 61 Bout.
There is also an introduction under the name: "Victor 61 Bout, born in 1968, worth 6 billion euros, the world's No. 1 arms dealer, the founder of Emirates Airlines, the first person to transport arms by air......"
Prison Director Max smiled: "This guy has a lot of nicknames, the most famous is the 'magic gunner', his biggest skill is to hide weapons, legend has it that once Victor was targeted by the FBI with arms worth $200 million, as a result, he hid these weapons in ten minutes, the FBI couldn't find it, what a genius." β
The prison warden handed Li Shaoyang a cigar: "He once told me personally that near this East River, there is a huge amount of ammunition hidden, and as long as there is a need, it can be taken out." β
Li Shaoyang made a cigar and sighed in his heart, sure enough, the place with the most talents in the world is in prison!
