In the face of Tang Shuxing's questioning, Gromov replied very calmly: "As far as I know, there is no other entrance and exit, and this is the end." ”

Tang Shuxing looked around: "But the warden said that as long as you reach the end, those who can go to the end can get the citizenship of Shangdu?" It's not like there's an end here! ”

Bai Zhanqiu turned around and walked towards the south: "I'll go for a turn." ”

Gromov did not stop Bai Zhanqiu, but said to Tang Shuxing: "I have been here for some years, I have not found that there is a way to continue here, if there is, I will have advanced a long time ago, and I will not stay in this place." ”

Seeing that Gromov's appearance didn't look like he was lying, Tang Shuxing fell into doubt, thinking that the warden should not lie about such a thing, after all, he was also eager to leave Deputy Prison No. 24, how could this be?

"However, there is one of the biggest advantages in the No. 2 Inner Prison B area." Gromov led the Tang Shushu to the center, then walked to a place surrounded by a towering barbed wire wall, which contained a large transport helipad, and pointed there, "This is an important area for Shandu to transport prisoners and supplies to Deputy Prison No. 24. ”

Tang Shuxing looked through the barbed wire: "Isn't this kind of defense Cheng dù, isn't it easy for the plane to be held hostage by the prisoners?" And the prison guards here also want to leave, and the prison guards are also easy to hijack. ”

"You're wrong." Gromov shook his head, "In this hellish place, it's impossible for a prisoner to get an automatic weapon, at best it's just a few small shotguns and stuff like that, but this kind of thing can't deal with the Wehrmacht of Shandu." Do you see that tarmac below? The apron is a lifting platform, when a helicopter comes, it will be raised, when it is raised to the top, there is no problem with the inspection, the upper protective net will be opened, after opening, the helicopter that has risen to the top will be subject to a second inspection before it can leave, and on it, it is not the prison guards who defend this area, but the Shangdu Defense Army. ”

"I see." Although Tang Shuxing listened to Gromov say this. But it still didn't feel right. I always felt that something was wrong, "but I still don't think this is the end." ”

Gromov asked rhetorically: "Why?" ”

"Intuition." Tang Shuxing replied.

Gromov smiled: "Then you use your intuition, how did I end up in Deputy Prison No. 24!?" ”

"Intuition and speculation are two different things, and intuition is mostly not something too reliable." Tang Shuxing finished speaking. Ask. "That's right. How did you end up in Vice-24 Prison? It's like this prison is full of people I know. ”

Gromov smiled, shook his head, and said, "I came in voluntarily to investigate." ”

"Voluntary?" Tang Shuxing looked around, "Where is there anyone who voluntarily entered this ghost place." ”

Gromov said expressionlessly: "Before coming in." I don't know what this place is like, I thought it was just an ordinary Shangdu prison, thinking that after completing the task, I could escape from prison, who knew that there was no way to escape from prison here, and there was no such word as zài prison escape. ”

Tang Shuxing nodded: "I'm interested in knowing, can you tell me?" ”

"I was sent in many years ago as a hired spy." Gromov snorted, "The so-called hiring of spies, and mercenaries are actually the same truth, but the difference is that my kind of employer gives me money, let me sneak somewhere as a spy, serve them, provide all kinds of information they need, pay according to the contract period, if the contract period is reached, their money is also paid, I can break the contract, but I must not sell the employer, in this case, I can not continue to do this business in the future." After the all-out war, the business of hiring spies was very popular, and many people who had never done it before were eager to try it, so there were many people who died. ”

Tang Shu said: "Who is your employer?" ”

Gromov smiled: "I couldn't have said it originally, but now I can say that my employer is ...... Your wife. ”

"Huh?" Tang Shuxing was surprised, "Xia Jiezhu!?" ”

"Yes, Xia Jiezhu, but my contact information and connection method were provided by Chi Chen, that is to say, your daughter-in-law is Chi Chen's spy, you didn't expect this, right?" Gromov looked at Tang Shuxing, looking at the look of great surprise on his face.

Tang Shuxing shook his head slowly: "I really didn't expect that Zhan Tianya didn't sue me." ”

"Only a very few people know about this matter, and I guess it, because it's very simple, when Xia Jiezhu found me, although she said that she caught Chi Chen's spy and confessed, but I know that in the entire Chi Chen, only Zhan Tianya knows my contact information, and I, with a different identity, has been lurking inside Shangdu, ostensibly an ordinary person." Gromov took out his ID and pointed to the identity of the "chef" above, "The food I cook is delicious, I will treat you tonight and let you taste my craftsmanship." ”

"Okay-" Tang Shuxing replied absentmindedly, "and then?" ”

Gromov sighed: "Then, I didn't expose her, I just asked her what she was looking for me, and she said that she wanted me to come to Prison No. 24 to find out what was going on, and in return, she would give me information about the military bases and military deployments in Shangdu in recent years, as well as the number of newly developed weapons, which she said were of the greatest interest to the Resistance." Indeed, I confess, she offered very high conditions, for it was not two copies, but all of them, and then she gave me a map of the military deployment, and told me that it was the military offensive deployment of the Resistance that they had intercepted, and the ambush circle deployment of the Shandu side, and she said that our cooperation would only begin to ...... once this information was confirmed."

Gromov left with what Xia Jiezhu gave him, and then half a month later, a battle for energy that the outside world did not know began, this blitzkrieg launched by the Resistance in the Middle East, which could have instantly defeated the loyal army stationed there, but at the beginning of the war, the moment the Resistance armored troops penetrated deep into the enemy-occupied area, the oil fields in the entire area were ignited, followed by overwhelming artillery fire and rocket barrage attacks.

The energy battle could be said to be a lose-lose situation, and Shangdu simply destroyed the oil field in order to prevent the resistance from seizing it. However, Gromov also knew that the information given by Xia Jiezhu was true, so he decided to cooperate with Xia Jiezhu, after all, he was also very interested in several major prisons in Shangdu, and there was an organization that paid a lot of money for him to save people from prisons, but because he was not familiar with prisons, he did not take the deal, and he still feels regretful.

"So, I took this deal in a ghost, and I think this matter is very strange, Xia Jiezhu, as the boss of the Intelligence Bureau, doesn't know what's in the deputy No. 24 prison, doesn't this mean that there is a secret in it? Then I followed her arrangement, became a prisoner and came in, and after I came in, I found that things here are not so simple, there is no zài escape, but there are a lot of secrets in zài, and there are many other strange people imprisoned here. "However, I have discovered a secret. ”

Tang Shuxing looked at Gromov's mysterious look: "What secret? ”

"This Vice-No. 24 Prison was originally a testing ground for those who wanted to select the strong." Gromov said, "It can also be said that it can be regarded as a gladiatorial arena or something, only the strong can get the so-called Shangdu citizenship, but so far, no one has ever received the highest honor, legend, but the legend says that someone got the identity of the strongest and was recognized as the strongest person, that is, this person, set the illusion of this place, so that everyone can enter and leave." ”

Tang Shuxing looked at the helipad and said, "You mean that you can't get out of the helipad now?" ”

"Of course." Gromov shook his head and said, "At first, the tarmac was fairly free to enter, but then the range of the illusion was expanded, and the tarmac could not be entered or exited, so the trouble is here, otherwise how would we farm and survive by ourselves?" Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago, and I don't even think that Shangdu would have given up this place a long time ago. ”

Tang Shuxing nodded: "So, I still didn't guess wrong, this is not the end, right?" ”

Gromov shook his head: "I still say the same thing, anyway, I haven't seen any other entrances and exits here." ”

Tang Shu said, "Can you take me around?" ”

"Let's go, that's what I mean." Gromov turned and led the don in the direction of the field, and after walking for a long time, he walked to the perimeter of the field, and saw the people working there, and the high wall behind the large field, the high wall was as high as the other prisons, and the top was still sloped, and it was impossible to escape from the prison, unless your limbs were hard enough to be inserted directly into the cement to fix your body.

There are a lot of easy-to-survive and high-yielding crops in the fields, such as corn, potatoes, and the like, which are considered high-yielding and easy to store, and on the right side there are pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock.

Gromov pointed to the livestock and said: "It takes us a lot of effort to raise these, the production of pigs is higher, but the rest is very small, but we always eat very little meat, after all, meat is very expensive, so we supplement the body with the necessary protein, all from soybeans or insects." ”

Tang Shuxing nodded: "What about other areas?" ”

"It's all residential and food-producing areas." Gromov pointed to the other side and said, "Actually, the reason for the strict division of Area A and Area B is that they are worried that people from outside Area B will flood in and spoil the food here, not for other things, you think about it, if you don't supply and distribute food, soon the food will be eaten, and everyone will have to wait for death." ”

Tang Shuxing asked, "Who distributed the food?" Warden? ”

"Yes!" Gromov sneered and pointed to the top of his head, "It's the warden, the guy who is on top, I meet that guy from time to time, but the strange thing is that the guy has never been afraid of me, nor is he afraid that others will kill him, I don't know why, out of prudence, I have never attacked him." ”

Tang Shuxing looked at the field in the distance and said, "You're right, I didn't do anything, I always feel that guy is not a simple character." (To be continued......)
