Chapter 55: Mental Pressure

"Today is September 6th, and I said you haven't eaten anything for about a week, only drinking water, do you want to die in this prison?"

It was still a familiar voice, and no one had been able to see his face since he had been imprisoned in this solitary, pitch-black prison.

The reason why he went to this kind of prison alone was that he beat the warden on his first day in prison.

There were also many people who felt a little sympathy for him, and some felt that he did a good job, because very few people had done such a thing, and it was the only thing that anyone had done in the decades since the establishment of this prison.

"Milk either, I can put it in if I want."

"Thank you."

The young man replied with only these two words, and the female prison guard who was in charge of delivering food to him was also helpless, so she had to put the milk down on the plate and send it to the only opening in this special dark cage.

She hadn't seen what the prisoner looked like, but she was sure that it was the one who had beaten the warden, and that there was an order from the higher authorities to keep an eye on the man and not let him die, and it was a young woman who gave her the order.

"Only after experiencing some things, you will understand that after working hard, in the end it will only increase sadness, at least you and I used to be very similar, but I don't want you to give up before you have experienced it, maybe you will be different from me."

At this time, he remembered what Lao Cang said to himself a year ago when he was blocking the road in ochre, that the man who no longer wanted to participate in these wars ended up in a dead end.

Su Zhan's consciousness has actually been blurry, took the carton of milk, opened it and drank a small sip against the wall, and looked out from that small mouth with his eyes for the first time, there were only a few people outside talking about something around this pitch-black cage.

The men seemed to have been talking for a long time, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he was just about to sit back in his chair in the dark corner, when a voice from outside stopped him.

"The person being detained here is called Su Zhan, right?"

"Yes, do you want to see him?"

"Yes, there is such a plan, but not now, in short, you release him first, give him the best treatment possible, and meet the needs that can be done, I have already said hello to the warden."

"You walk slowly."

Two hours later, Su Zhan was inexplicably sent from this pitch-black cage that had been in place for a week to the special care cell, and it was still very large, and there were many books in it according to the requirements, and even some snacks and drinks.

The first thing the young man did when he first went in was to pick up a book and read it, instead of burying his head in things alone, it was better to find some reading materials for entertainment, he still sat quietly on the edge of the bed and read the book, and kept a posture for several hours, the person in charge of watching the surveillance did not feel that this young man seemed to be able to punch the fierce man of the warden.

At half past 19 o'clock in the evening, the person who helped Su Zhan before finally came to see him, and led the two of them into a door that Su Zhan had never seen before, and outside the door were two heavily armed guards.

"Just find a place to do it, you can confirm it, and we can start talking."

Su Zhan has been silent on the road, and he is silent now, but his eyes have been scanning and observing the surroundings, which is his habitual reaction, but no matter how he looks at it, he only feels that this is just a personal office after temporary renovation and transformation.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"No, what are you talking to me about?"

The man, who looked to be in his 40s, was not wearing a police uniform, but a standard combat uniform, except for the peculiar emblems on his chest and armband, and his appearance looked quite calm.

Su Zhan sat opposite the sofa chair he was sitting on, he seemed very cautious, but the other party was very relaxed, and looked at Su Zhan very reassuringly.

"You must be curious about who I am and why I'm talking to you alone."

"Judging by what you're wearing, I'm guessing you're also an NHSA executive, right?"

"No, I'm still not quite like them."

"Why?"

The man reached out and handed over the cigarette case and lighter, and then leaned back on the sofa and raised his head: "I used to have a friend who gave me cigarettes, guess what brand?" ”

"I don't smoke." Su Zhan took the cigarette case and looked at it for a moment or two, and then began to play with the lighter again, "'TianShui', the cigarette produced in Tianshui City, East Asian People's Republic, right?" ”

"Looks like you recognize this brand, I thought no one remembered this discontinued brand."

Su Zhan smiled, took out a cigarette with his hand and lit it with a lighter, but he didn't plan to put it in his mouth, but just held it with his hand and burned it: "My two instructors used to smoke it often, especially one of them can be said to be dying without this cigarette, this smell is still familiar." ”

"Let's introduce myself."

"My name is Chen Nai, and I used to be East Asian."

This man's face is indeed very similar to that of East Asians, Su Zhan still believed him, so he nodded and expressed his willingness to continue.

"You know a little bit about the "two-year war" (1) between PEN and ROEA, right?" Chen Nai snuffed out the first cigarette, then took the second one out of the cigarette case and lit it directly into his mouth, "The impact of that war is actually far greater than what the official information describes. ”

"Note (1): During the period between the spring of 2143 and the summer of 2145, BANG blamed the ROEA for complicity with anti-human armed groups, blaming the ROEA for the instability and riots in the country, which was also in turmoil.

It's a pity that ROEA also took advantage of this similar reason, both sides announced a war, and the two countries launched a full-scale war on land, sea and air, and the century-old grievances between the two countries, as well as national sentiment, made the war particularly fierce and difficult to control, and the high-level leaders on both sides were not sure whether they could win the war, so they both planned to relax, so that the war continued until the autumn of 2144 was stalemate, until the late autumn of 2144, when the new technology and new weapons suddenly appeared in the PEN, and the ROEA was defeated. The war on the sea was one-sided, and the air was almost controlled by PIN, and then the war against the ROEA mainland began.

In the home war, the most famous battle of the "Burning Machine's Scythe" was the battle of "Burning Machine's Scythe", which was also the first battle in which PUR suffered heavy losses and had to retreat, and the number of casualties on both sides was unimaginable in a month.

In the end, in the counterattack that began in March of the same year, ROEA recaptured a number of occupied cities one after another, and finally launched a full-scale counteroffensive in April and May, coupled with the growing influence of the anti-war movement in PU's own country, it had to start to retreat to Japan's Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone while carrying out stubborn resistance, and the two sides stopped fighting on May 3, and signed an armistice agreement on May 6, ending the war."

"Intelligence information blockade."

Su Zhan whispered only this short sentence.

"Many people have lost their hearts and minds by the war, and the loss of family and friends, these hurts have deeply affected those people, especially after the government refused to tell the truth, they felt the atmosphere and chose to say goodbye to this country that they once thought was beautiful."

"So, the group of people who chose to leave at the beginning included you, and it was not only ROEA who came to NMA, but also people from PU?"

Chen Nai admired the young man sitting in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and this kind of insight was very unusual.

He had already smoked half a pack of cigarettes, and the expression on his face was full of the pain that the past had brought him.

"The NMA regular army is actually different from the NHSA that controls the mercenaries of the West Greid Arms Company, in fact, the military spending of the NMA regular army has been greatly reduced a long time ago, and all of it is used to build a new independent army, and this independent army is controlled by the West Greid Arms Company, together with his mercenaries, and behind the West Greid Arms Company is the NHSA, and the NHSA does not know what means it used to control the top of the government, the people are brainwashed, and people who can see the truth are constantly persecuted...... ”

"Mobile Fortress Calamity X, that is the headquarters of the independent force and mercenaries, and the home of the NHSA, even our regular army can't have people or bodies on it without special permission."

"Last week, there was a fool of the regular army who flew into the airspace identification zone of Calamity X by mistake, and was warned not to turn, and the consequence was that he was knocked down by a weapon like a laser, but fortunately, the wings of the fuselage were melted, half of the cockpit was gone, and the pilot was lucky to pick up a life."

"There are still many regular army soldiers who want to join, they feel that this so-called righteous army is very high-level, very strong, it is true that they are like a super-legal army, and the power is much greater than our regular army, but to join them, they must go through strict assessment experiments, I don't know what the NHSA has done to those soldiers who originally belonged to the regular army, they have become less human."

Chen Nai finally exhausted the last cigarette in the cigarette case, he felt in his pocket and took another box of other brands, but he didn't want to talk about the trivial matter of the cigarette case.

"In addition, a lot of things to wipe the ass are done by the regular army, let the regular army clean them up and finish the criminal things, even if they are exposed, they can also be dumped on the regular army, the NHSA people seem to know how to control public opinion, which forces our regular army to be endlessly squeezed, and there is even a big call to disband and reorganize the regular army, and under the joint jurisdiction of the Sigorid Arms Company and the independent army that does not even know the name."

Just as he wanted to continue, Su Zhan interrupted him, and he was still playing with the lighter in his hand: "So, what is the purpose of telling me this, and what are the benefits?"

"I hope you can help me save this country that is about to become a puppet of the NHSA."

"Why should I trust you, why do you think I'll help you by telling me this?"

Chen Nai was very confident, he seemed to have expected Su Zhan to ask this, so he said with confidence: "Xia Luohan, you know, she told me that only you can help me, so I also helped her find you together, and she also sent you to me, which the NHSA doesn't know about here, so that girl is actually protecting you."

"Isn't she a member of the NHSA?"

Su Zhan was puzzled, combined with the incident he had met Xia Luohan before.

"At first, I thought it was, she was still ordered to investigate my person, and she was quite cautious at the time, but later, for some reason, she suddenly told me a lot of important information as if she had a lot of urgent things to explain."

"It's very likely that she wasn't like the regular army soldiers who were controlled, maybe the NHSA had a flaw in her modification, maybe she hadn't taken any drugs for a long time, and then her mind returned to normal for a while."

"During that time, she and I were plotting how to find you, how to bring you back, how to bring you to me for a special reason, and then she went to endure the punishment of the NHSA monitors."

"Xia Luohan, she has a bad relationship with you, she is a smart and brave girl, she is really powerful."

Su Zhan was a little stunned when he heard this, he was still thinking about the incident with Xia Luohan before, why she shot herself, although it was not a fatal injury, and the pleading eyes.

"Is she your lover?"

"Lovers are not ......"

"Family?"

"She is the sister of a good friend of mine, and my relationship with her is more of a relationship between seniors and seniors, and nothing else."

Chen Nai's question was answered like this, he looked at Su Zhan with an expression that seemed to understand, and he didn't want to ask more, and then opened the document in the electronic board on the side and handed it to him.

"Your family may be waiting for you, don't wait for the NHSA to take control of your family..."

"You're trying to say it's late, right?" Su Zhan took the electronic board and looked at the many intelligence information in it, "I have some ideas to help you." ”

"But it's on the premise of saving my family and friends, and my actions are completely up to me, and I hate ......"

"You mean what it feels like to be taken advantage of, right?"

This time, it was Chen Nai's turn to put Su Zhan along.

The two men looked at each other and smiled.
