Chapter 11: The Nameless Old Man

The Special Administrative Star of the Northern District of the Federation, the farthest district from the Central District, is the thirteenth district known as the Badlands! A vicious battle between the Federation's home planet and the North District government almost leveled the 13th District. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info originally a fertile land, but even if 10,000 years have passed, most of the area is still not suitable for human survival, which shows the fierceness of the battle back then, and even now it can make the later generations feel the bloody taste of the year.

The 13th District is a vast area, but only the surrounding areas are suitable for survival. Those who live here are either from poor families or people of unknown origin, lurking here to survive. And in the middle of the thirteenth arrondissement, there is a complex of buildings several miles in length and width, surrounded by rolling yellow sand, and there is hardly any greenery to be seen. The occasional little desert plant is also a little dejected with its head on its head, looking dying.

The complex is gray and yellow, like a lifeless beast in the middle of the desert. The building complex is surrounded by a high wall that is more than 10 meters high and more than 1 meter thick. There are also circles of power grids wrapped around the top of the fence, which make a "sizzling" sound from time to time, which makes people's scalp tingle to listen to.

At the edge of the wall, tall watchtowers were also built, each of which was a head taller than the wall. At the top of the watchtower, there were four soldiers with resolute expressions, who were now armed with assault phase guns, their eyes like falcons, and they were looking sharply at the area they were responsible for.

Inside the watchtower, there is a tall building that looks a little majestic, with more than ten floors high. On top of these buildings, a lot of monitoring systems are installed in light and dark, and next to the monitoring system is a smart phase gun with a dazzling black light. As long as someone tries to cross this area, I am afraid that if they are not careful, they will be directly beaten by these phase guns.

At the top of one of the buildings, which was obviously a head taller, had four large characters written in black federal lettering: Cave Prison! The entrance to the building was extremely busy, with prison guard vehicles coming in and out from time to time, and most of the criminals who entered the place had their heads folded and their faces full of despair.

Many people know that this is the most difficult desert prison to escape from Sin City, surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of desert land. Even if you escape from prison, you will only die in the seemingly endless desert with hatred in the end.

Inside, there are grayish-yellow buildings, and groups of criminals dressed in sackcloth prison clothes live in them. At this moment, Ye Yu was imprisoned in a dimly lit cell near a prison building inside, which was only a few square meters in size, and had just put down two simple iron frame beds. At this moment, Ye Yu looked gloomily at an old man wearing a wide gray robe and long gray-white hair on the opposite side, this old man had not said a word since he entered the prison yesterday. He sat cross-legged all the time, like a statue.

He was thrown into this prison by the Silver Dragon Guard without any trial, but he had no reason to appeal due to his special status. After all, the Zhou family also spent a lot of effort to protect him. Although he was young at the time, when he saw the fate of his parents, he naturally knew that his existence was a stain on the Federation. Even in Sin City, once someone else discovers his true identity, it is inevitable.

Ye Yu's depression can be imagined, but he was entrusted by his parents at the end, so he was naturally unwilling to be locked up in prison like this. It's just that he has just been locked up here, and he doesn't know anything about it, so he wanted to ask the nameless old man in front of him, but the other party kept his eyes closed and didn't say a word.

At this moment, the iron door, which had been closed, suddenly "creaked", revealing a small door twenty centimeters wide. Then, two identical portions of food were handed in from the small door. It was a gray-purple bread-like food, and a glass of steaming water, which was shabby.

"Ye Yu, old man, eat!" There was an indifferent shout from outside, apparently from the prison guard delivering the meal. I don't know how many people in the Federation call Ye Yu by this name, so Ye Yu is not afraid that the other party will know his special identity. After all, all records about themselves were erased at that time, and the vast majority of people did not know about their existence.

After the prison guard outside the door finished speaking, he closed the small door, and it was obvious that he had gone far away by listening to the footsteps. Ye Yu glanced at the tall window that was only the size of a palm, estimated that it was noon now, sighed slightly, licked his somewhat chapped lips, and prepared to get his own food.

Ye Yu hadn't eaten any food since he was brought in yesterday afternoon, and now he was naturally a little hungry. He didn't expect the federal prison to be treated so poorly, and according to his estimates, he could only eat one meal a day here.

"Boy, help me get me the food!" At this moment, a low, hoarse voice came. Ye Yu was taken aback by surprise, and then came back to his senses, it was the old man sitting opposite him who was talking.

Ye Yu glanced at the other party, only to see that the other party's withered bark-like face was unwavering, and a pair of eyes were slightly closed, as if he had not spoken at all just now.

"Okay." Ye Yu nodded, bent down and picked up the two portions of food, one of which was gently placed on the bed of the old man opposite. He himself took a glass of water and took a few sips of water. The climate here is dry, and Ye Yu has not been touched by a drop of water for a day, so he is naturally thirsty for a long time.

"Boy, do you want to know where this is?" Just as Ye Yu was about to eat some food, the nameless old man spoke again.

Ye Yu was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "The kid just came here, and he is not familiar with this place, and he still hopes that the old gentleman will guide him." ”

The nameless old man smiled and nodded, but he didn't speak, just raised his thin finger and pointed at the food in Ye Yu's hand, and a few weird smiles appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Yu "chuckled" in his heart, and then understood, he was also a person with a clear mind, so he naturally understood what the old man meant, but he was also hungry now, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

"Everything in this world needs to be exchanged for something of equal value, and I believe that the message I am about to tell you is worth another night of hunger!" The nameless old man seemed to notice Ye Yu's hesitation, and explained in a calm tone.

Ye Yu frowned, and then handed over the food in his hand. The nameless old man was not polite, he took it directly, and stuffed all the food in his hand into his mouth. The original skinny face also became bulging at this time, and it kept shaking as the old man chewed.

In less than a minute, the old man swallowed all the food directly, then picked up the cup in his hand and drank the water in it with his head up.

Then, the old man opened his eyes with a satisfied expression. However, the old man's eyes were not cloudy as he should be at his age, but shone brightly, revealing a few rays of essence from time to time.

"Uh-" The old man hiccuped, let out a long breath and said, "The last time I ate so much, it was the Spring Festival celebration of your Federation, and the old man ate three full portions of Federation pearl rice that time, and the taste is still fragrant in my recall." ”

The old man seemed to be enjoying it, recalling the meal a few months ago, and Ye Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. The old man's speaking habits are obviously different from those of the Federation, and he sounds somewhat similar to Hua Ying, with obvious characteristics of the Blue Seal. And from the old man's words, he also heard the hardships of life here, and I am afraid that it is not a place where ordinary people can stay for a long time.

"Old gentleman, the kid's name is Ye Yu, and I don't know the name of the gentleman?" Ye Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he said respectfully.

"Hahaha, my name, I've lived so far, I've long forgotten what my name is!" The nameless old man seemed to be touched by Ye Yu's words, and suddenly said with a sad expression.

"According to your Federation, you can just call me sir!" The old man's tone quickly softened, and his original sad expression was swept away.

"Can the gentleman tell the boy where the hell this is, I ...... Is it still possible to get out? Ye Yu hurriedly asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Hmph, you're also pitiful, you don't know where you're locked up!" A few hints of pity flashed in the nameless old man's eyes, and he continued: "This is the desolate prison of Sin City, where a battalion of guards is stationed, and the prison is surrounded by a dense array of lookouts and phase guns. And this is located in the 13th district, known as the 'barren land', and the surrounding area is covered with rolling yellow sand for hundreds of kilometers. So far, no one has really escaped here, and even the most powerful person is powerless to cross the long desert after breaking through the layers of defense. So you kid should dispel the idea of leaving here, you are in the same prison as me, and it seems that even if you don't die immediately, you will die here of old age! ”

After listening to the old man's words, Ye Yu's heart shook again and again, even in other areas of the Federation, he had heard of the Desolate Cave Prison. Sin City is a mixed place, and many interstellar pirates and people who have committed serious crimes like to lurk here. But this does not mean that Sin City will be evil, on the contrary, once the most heinous people are discovered, they will also be arrested by thunder! And here, the Deserted Cave Prison, is dedicated to those who are extremely vicious. And there is also a nickname "black hole prison", that is, criminals who come in here, don't think about going out.

The nameless old man seemed to see Ye Yu's complicated feelings, and immediately said a word, which rekindled Ye Yu's hope, which was almost desperate!

"Is this true, sir? If that's true, the boy must be grateful! Ye Yu's expression flickered, and he suddenly stood up and bowed to the old man to thank him.
