January 15, morning, 5:10.

Above the ruins of Chernobyl, there are many people.

The men were dressed in prison uniforms, men and women, with different expressions on their faces.

Some are excited, some are confused, some are already crying......

There were also some people who just raised their heads and stared blankly at the once familiar but now unfamiliar sky.

Not all of these prisoners who are secretly held here by the Federation are good people, and certainly not all of them are bad people; They're just human beings.

Some of them deserved it, some of them didn't, some of them were completely innocent, but fate sent them to the same place – a place they should never have been able to leave.

The human will decays, often faster than the physical body.

Prison Nine is a place of decay, where a long and desperate sentence destroys a person's will before actually ruining his/her life.

In fact, many of the people standing here today have already collapsed.

When they crawled out of "hell" and stood on the surface again, they were a little scared, even a little eager to go back to the earth.

Because there is no place for them in the outside world.

Their relatives and friends have all cut off contact with them, and their property, career, and status have also disappeared.

Even those things they knew and loved before they were imprisoned have become the tears of the times, and have been eliminated by many new things.

They are like a bunch of ghosts who have really gone to the underworld, and it seems that they should not come back.

But there is one thing, an innate desire, that remains in their blood.

When they breathe this air called "freedom" again, even the rotten soil will be rekindled.

"Everyone." Suddenly, on the radio, a man's voice sounded.

All the alarm horns located in the Abyss Wall can be used as broadcasts, and at this time, these loudspeakers have been controlled by the Reverse Cross.

"What the 'Reverse Cross' can do for you, it's almost all there is here......" Zilin's words clearly reached everyone's ears, "Right now, the defense system on the abyss wall has been closed, and the gate on the south side has been opened, so ...... No need to fear, no need to hesitate...... Crossing the wall that has left countless people desperate for the past 100 years, you will be truly free. ”

He was telling the truth, as early as more than half an hour ago, when the doctor broke through the defense system on the wall, K, who remained on the shuttle, took advantage of the situation to enter the monitoring room next to the southern gate; In less than five minutes, K managed to get a few guards huddled inside, and directly locked the south gate in the "maximum open" state with a manual switch located in the room, and then K drove the shuttle into the wall, stopped behind the entrance, and re-entered stealth mode.

"Of course...... Freedom doesn't mean security. After a pause for a few seconds, unexpectedly, Zilin changed the conversation again and continued, "You should all know in your hearts, it has been more than two hours since the prison break happened, and it is impossible for the federal side to not respond to the distress signal......

"At this moment, a Federation ground force that was deployed from a military base in Blue Shield County has quickly advanced from the south, and there are also Outflanked Twin Eagle County troops in the northeast.

"Even if you escape the encirclement and suppression of these troops today, the next thing you will face is a fugitive life that is wanted by the government; Those who are not properly enlightened...... I think it's better not to go out, and go back to your safe cell, and it's safe to live the rest of your life. ”

Before he could finish his words, a prisoner had already run out in the direction of the south gate.

If there is one, there will be two, three...... It didn't take long for all the prisoners to flee, without exception.

Even some of the older prisoners, who were already very old, were staggering.

No one is willing to decay.

These people would rather die on the road to freedom than return to that hopeless abyss and be forgotten by the world again.

…………

At the same time, the ninth prison, the male prison side, and the ninth prison "Kaiquan test burning".

The members of the Countercross who had invaded the prison were all concentrated in the monitoring room on this floor.

Deputy Prison Director Carl von Belle, who had been confined to the quarantine level, has also been brought here.

Now, he has no reason to resist, even if he can kill all the invaders present, it will not change the fact that the Nine Prisons have fallen.

So, Karl could only sit on the ground in frustration, as a sullen captive.

"Don't think you've won......" Carl muttered as soon as he turned off the radio, "In front of the regular army, the prisoners who only care about their lives are vulnerable, and in my opinion, less than half of the people who can really escape alive ......"

Hearing this, Zilin just smiled and ignored him.

Instead, Lance squatted on the ground, looked at Carl, and replied with a mocking smile: "Huh...... Thank you for bringing up the obvious, let's all review it again. ”

Carl read a hint of strangeness in his smile, and after thinking for a few seconds, he added, "What do you mean?" You don't care how many of these people will die on the way out? Then why are you still robbing ......?"

"Mr. Deputy Warden." At this time, Zilin suddenly interrupted him, "From the perspective of a professional, can you tell me...... What kind of prison do you think is the most impregnable? ”

Carl didn't know why the other party suddenly asked such a question, he thought for a moment before replying, "Are you trying to show off to me?" ”

He would ask, and the implication would be...... He felt that Nine Prisons was the safest prison on the planet.

"I didn't mean that." Zilin said, also walked in front of Carl, squatted down, kept his eyes level with the other party, and said, "I just want to tell you that the most difficult 'confinement' to break is not any man-made entity, but in ...... 'here'. As he spoke, he tapped his fingers lightly on his temples.

Carl's eyes at this moment showed that he hadn't grasped the gist of the matter yet.

So Zilin continued: "Before today, everyone felt that the 'Nine Prisons' was a place that was absolutely impossible to break, whether it was the top level of the Federation, the military, the rebels, or those who were active in the underground world, such as killers, mercenaries, and abilities...... Anyone who knows about the existence of the Nine Prisons thinks that this place is the 'end'.

"Nine Prisons is not just a prison, it's a symbol.

"It's easy to 'massacre' the rebels, but it's hard to 'control' them.

"A true ruler must have 'the ability to use the rules to decide the life and death of those under his rule' and 'the ability to enforce the rules to ensure the smooth operation of the rules'.

"Nine prisons is a concrete embodiment of the federal government's executive power; It exists to show all those around the world who are rebelling against the Federation...... No matter who you are or how strong you are, we also have a place to deal with people like you. ”

When he said this, he paused for another two seconds, observed the change in Carl's expression, then chuckled, and continued: "It seems that you have understood...... Zilin put his face in front of the other party's face, looked him in the eyes and said, "Break through the Nine Prisons and release the prisoners inside...... That's not our purpose, even if the prisoners get out and all die. He paused, "The important thing is to implant the concept of 'even the Nine Prisons can be breached' into people's minds ......"

Hearing this, Karl's cold sweat had soaked his already wet back.

He thought it was ...... The group of people in front of him is just from a relatively powerful resistance organization, and the main purpose of its prison robbery is to rescue their own people imprisoned inside; But now, Carl shuddered.

The most impregnable prison in the world is the human mind.

It is far more difficult to push to the wall of thought than to push to the wall of the abyss.

"A bunch of crazy people...... Do you know what you're doing? After understanding the other party's intentions, Karl's expression became more and more solemn, "No matter how corrupt the federal government is, at least it still maintains the stability and order of this world...... What you are doing now is going to bring the whole world into war! How many innocent people will die because of this? ”

"Innocent people are dying every day." This time, it was Lance who took his words, "Slowly tortured to death by the system and miserable life that I can't resist, or taken away by a bullet...... It's not a matter of quantity; What we change is not quantity, but nature. ”

"Nonsense!" Carl listened, but still unconvinced, and he shouted angrily, "It's all a fallacy...... So what is the nature of the prison guards who died today? Even if the proportion of people who live a hard life under the system is the highest, it is by no means all, aside from the upper class, there are still many people who are content with the status quo, why do you let those people be buried with them? ”

"By 'power', of course." Zilin took over the conversation again and replied, "Do you think that when the Federation was established, no one shed blood for this? The trivial things you mentioned are too small in the tide of the times...... Any change is made in conflict, if everyone can agree...... Scold...... The Federation must be very good now, and the class thing has long ceased to exist; If human beings can do that, they can learn and grow to that point...... What else do you want us to do with the reverse cross? ”

"Heh......" Karl sneered, "then, you who have imposed the will of change on this era are the same as the federation that enslaves this world with the system...... What's the difference? ”

"I didn't say there was a difference." Zilin smiled, "There are ...... When you were a child, you didn't hear some rumors about the establishment of this federation back then...... Does it have something to do with the push of an organization behind it? ”
