56. Important Duties

"Is that all?" After listening to Zhao Li, the old prison warden was silent and asked lightly.

"Yes, sir, that's all I'm thinking about for now." Zhao Li nodded. He didn't have any more ideas, all of which seemed to be thought of from the previous management methods, and there were basically no changes from the original, just guessing some hidden facts. And, more importantly, he had to guess the meaning behind the old warden's question.

"Good!" The old warden clapped his hands and praised him: "If you let you and other prison guards, I mean all you know, fight against them, how sure are you?" ”

"Battle?" Zhao Li never seemed to have thought that he would one day fight with those people around him, and the old prison warden asked this, which made Zhao Li look very surprised: "I'm sorry sir, I didn't think about doing anything with them, so I didn't estimate it." ”

"Why? You absolutely trust your teammates, don't you? The old warden reverted to his uncaring attitude of enjoyment, and his feet were raised high on his desk. Zhao Li has seen this posture too many times and is used to it.

"Yes, sir!" If none of your comrades can be trusted, then who else can be trusted? Although he was a little hesitant to answer like this, Zhao Li still answered quickly.

"So, why didn't you trust the judgment of your comrades at the time of that tsunami, but made a different decision on your own." The old prison warden's slow words, but just one sentence broke Zhao Li's insistence: "Moreover, it seems that in the end you believe those prisoners, don't you?" Your flying machine, given James the control. Moreover, the raft you relied on to get back to the barracks was tied up by the prisoners. You haven't thought about what the consequences will be if they are not worthy of your trust? ”

"This ......" Zhao Li was speechless, not knowing how to respond. In fact, this problem of the old prison warden hits Zhao Li's weakness. If you believe it, why make your own claims? If you believe in your comrades, but you believe in your prisoners even more, why is that?

It seems that Zhao Li himself can't say why this is happening. Could it be that what I insisted on before was wrong? Or do you say that from the bottom of my heart, I don't trust the prison guards who are comrades-in-arms? This question has been buried in Zhao Li's heart for a long time, and it has not been connected.

Or maybe their behavior exceeded the moral bottom line that Zhao Li insisted on, so Zhao Li would do something like that? But if you want to say this, it seems that those prisoners are killing people like hemp, and the harm to society is even greater, how can they get along with them, and not hesitate to risk their lives to save their lives in the stormy seas?

Zhao Li couldn't say clearly, and he didn't know what to say. Fundamentally, Zhao Li didn't figure it out, isn't his real surname a good person, so he prefers to get along with the prisoners? Or is it the black who is close to ink, and he has been affected by their assimilation?

"I think you should think about it." The old warden did not force Zhao Li, but let him think carefully about it. As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly, while Zhao Li, holding the glass, didn't say anything, and the scene fell into silence.

I don't know how much time passed, but the ship landed slowly. A slight shock woke Zhao Li up from his contemplation. When I looked down, I still had half a glass of juice in my hand, and I was in a daze in front of the old warden for so long.

When he looked up, the old warden was looking at him with a smile, and the wine bottles on the table were almost empty. At the speed of the old warden's drinking, it would have been at least almost two hours: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm distracted!" ”

And here it is? So close? Could it be on a local planet? Zhao Li was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask more. The level of the Mountbatten Special Prison is so high that even the name of the planet Mountbatten is kept secret, and the same is true for this newly built prison.

"It's okay, I'm pretty comfortable anyway. Come, let's go down after drinking. The old warden raised his wine glass and touched Zhao Li's juice lightly, and the two drank the last bit of drink, and then Zhao Li got up and waited for the old warden to order.

Coming down from the open hatch, Zhao Li saw this prison like no other. It seems that a prison of this level, whether it is on Mountbatten Star or in front of him, is a completely different style and specification from the prison management he has studied.

The whole prison looks like a luxurious resort, surrounded by greenery, low buildings hidden in the greenery, flat ground, gravel paths, pavilions, and a real old Chinese garden.

This kind of environment is the easiest for people to have the kind of thinking that the sky is high, and it is also the easiest for people to let go of everything they insist on in their hearts. The cultural atmosphere of our ancient Orient is really amazing. After letting go of the two, the luxury warship took off, revealing a huge playground and tarmac where they were. The old warden took Zhao Li to the side of the garden-like building, and said as he walked.

"Of course, if you live in this environment for a long time, you will yearn for freedom more and more." It seems that the old prison warden has turned into Zhao Li's tour guide at this moment: "The prison is designed like this, a very contradictory design, isn't it?" ”

"It's amazing to use this style in prison." When Zhao Li guessed those things and the old warden didn't refute or say anything, Zhao Li knew that his guess was basically correct. Therefore, there is also a clear understanding of the intention of the prison arrangement.

"It's a kind of psychological attack, subtle, and it's mainly directed at these prisoners who are particularly insistent on self-control and surname. Everything here is built on an oasis in the desert. Outside of this oasis, there is no water source for hundreds of kilometers in the vicinity. "It seems that most of the prisons are built in the desert for security reasons, which is not surprising.

"In each of the three surrounding directions, a company of troops is stationed here, responsible for emergency response here." What the old prison warden said seemed to confirm Zhao Ligang's guess: "In addition, there is a militarized town hundreds of kilometers away, which is the logistics base here, and all logistics supplies will be carried out through there." ”

"On the periphery are the prison guards and my office and living area, and this time the treatment of you has also been improved, at least the conditions of the room are much better than those on Mountbatten's." Mountbatten Prison is an offshore platform, which is expensive to build and relatively cramped, which improves the treatment of prisoners, and the prison guards are a little cramped. This time it seems to have been completely revised.

"We're flying fast, and it's going to take them half an hour to get there." The old prison warden saw that Zhao Li was strange and didn't see the prisoner, so he patiently explained to him.

"The prison guards you mentioned about who are in charge of loose management are already in place, and now they are ready to accept prisoners." No matter where the two of them went, the door would open automatically, and it was conceivable that someone must be monitoring it in real time. And the door can only be opened from the outside, and the inside is absolutely safe and secure.

"Everything was prepared, excellent environment, not easy to escape, emergency response forces around, and loosely managed prison guards." The old warden took him to the place where the warden's office was revealed: "Now, there is a lack of someone who can calm the scene and make them not have any ideas. Are you interested? ”

"Me?" Zhao Li seemed to be unable to believe that this important person in the old prison warden's mouth was actually himself: "Why me?" ”

"Because you can stop them in every way." The old prison warden looked into Zhao Li's eyes and explained to him seriously: "First of all, you saved the lives of all of them, there is no doubt about it. People from the army attach great importance to this, although many of those guys still have such a lukewarm attitude towards you, but they must have a ruler in their hearts, and all of them owe you once. ”

"Secondly, although you don't dare to say that your personal martial arts are outstanding yet, it is enough to suppress these guys whose true qi has been sealed." The second point is purely from the point of view of violence.

"Why not someone else?" Zhao Li still couldn't believe that he was this candidate: "They have served much longer than me, and their positions are much higher than mine, although I don't know how martial arts are, but I think, if you have your old training, it won't be any worse, right?" ”

"You mean the original group?" The old prison warden glanced at Zhao Li: "Haven't you noticed that they are no longer suitable for these jobs?" ”

"Not suitable?" Zhao Li was a little surprised, in his opinion, those people have rich experience in prison management, especially for this level of serious offender prison, it should be the best choice!

"Although I did not explain to them the important surnames of these prisoners, I have not explained them to you either." The old warden seemed very disappointed with them, and his voice was a little sluggish: "But, in that case, almost everyone made that choice, except you. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Li wanted to rush to say something, but was stopped by the old prison warden.

"If that's all it takes, it's not a big fault. Under normal circumstances, it is not a mistake to make such a choice. The old warden, though annoyed that they had escaped, admitted that it was human nature.

"However, they shouldn't start beating and designing you after the fact." The old prison warden looked at Zhao Li's somewhat surprised gaze and smiled: "Don't you feel that you are isolated?" ”

"For a while it was." Zhao Li was also a little weak under the gaze of the old prison warden, and he didn't dare to implement the plan he wanted to hide for them, although the old prison warden was not there, he was definitely aware of it: "But then it was restored to the original state, and everyone got along very well." "This is a fact, since Zhao Li solved the prison riot alone, it seems that everyone has re-accepted Zhao Li, and even Zhao Li doesn't understand why.

"That's because you've helped everyone earn face and qualify for extraordinary treatment in that ordinary prison." The old warden was not afraid of hitting Zhao Li at all, and directly analyzed the reason to him: "In the eyes of outsiders, you are one, if you are excluded as a guy with excellent performance, those outsiders will have more thoughts." So in that case, having to accept you. ”

"Do you think it's really your efforts that have earned them recognition?" The old prison warden's words pierced Zhao Li's heart like a needle, is this really the case? Why is this the case?

"Simple fellow, do you really think that the scramble broke out by accident?" Seeing that Zhao Li was still a little unwilling, the old prison warden Suo added a heavier blow: "The disturbance broke out when you were resting, and when you were on duty, you should have checked the iron fence, that thing, is it possible to open it by itself?" ”

This was something that Zhao Li had also suspected at the beginning, but since it was said that it was a loophole in prison management, Zhao Li also accepted such an idea. But it has never been analyzed from a deep level. Now when I heard what the old prison warden said, I immediately felt that the management loophole was too big.

"Haven't you ever wondered why no one went down to help you when you rushed down alone?" This is the point, the old prison warden's words made Zhao Li's previous struggle disappear.

Although Zhao Li got the best chance of practicing his hand at that time, Zhao Li couldn't help but feel a little knotted about their inaction. It's just that later they asked for warmth, and they also helped Zhao Li deal with the trouble that even the prison guards solved together, so Zhao Li put these things in his heart and didn't mention them anymore, but now the old prison director turned over the old accounts.

After Kang Hongyuan's reminder, Zhao Li already knew his place in their hearts, but he just didn't want to admit it. At this moment, I have to admit that I have failed to be a man in the past few months. was ostracized by his colleagues, framed, and even helped them wipe their butts.

"However, if I sit in this position, will they be dissatisfied? Design me again? Thinking about this, Zhao Li's surname of not admitting defeat resurfaced. Speaking of which, it's just because he is the lowest-ranking one, but he has completed a task that no one can complete, and everyone is unbalanced. If I had been replaced by the lieutenant colonel in charge at that time, it would definitely not have been the result I am now.

The old warden gave him a chance, and of course he had to seize it. Kang Hongyuan accidentally revealed that the old prison warden has amazing energy, and climbing up is the best ladder.

"As I said, they're no longer fit for these jobs." The old prison warden looked at Zhao Li and patiently explained to Zhao Li.

"They, not suitable?" There were only two people on the battleship, the old warden and Zhao Li, and now Zhao Li suddenly understood why the old warden just called him alone on his exclusive battleship. It seems that the others no longer know where they were transported, or they will be placed in other ordinary prisons, or they will serve in the active army! Anyway, in this high-level prison, they won't have much chance to come back.

"Yes, all the people here, all newcomers." The old prison warden explained it to Zhao Li again.

"But, sir, I'm just a sergeant...... "The latter words don't need to be said, the old prison warden will also understand, if the newcomers are all the same officers as last time, Zhao Li still can't do it.

"Everyone this time is completely reliable, but they made a little mistake in the previous service, so now they are all guilty of meritorious service." The old prison warden smiled and relieved Zhao Li: "In view of this situation, all of their military ranks have been temporarily deprived, and seventeen people are now all privates." ”

The old prison warden has already arranged it so thoughtfully, and Zhao Li can't say anything about it. Of course, Zhao Li is not that kind of fool, he just doesn't want to think about it.

"Yes! Sir, mission is guaranteed! Facing the kind smile of the old prison warden, Zhao Lizheng was upright, a standard military salute.

57. Successors

A brand new prison, a whole new staff. Zhao Li didn't ask the old warden why, but he gave him a chance, so he had to grasp it firmly.

Standing in front of the seventeen new "privates", Zhao Li didn't say much, anyway, except for the old prison warden present, Zhao Li had the highest military rank, and it was also his job to give orders.

"Prepare to receive prisoners!" Simple commands, simple. Everyone lined up on the field and tarmac, waiting for the arrival of the warship escorting the felons. Everyone's rooms have been arranged, just waiting for these people to come and confirm their identity and imprisonment. For these new privates, there was also the task of getting acquainted with each prisoner.

In charge of the escort is a battalion of special forces, and every four people are responsible for one felon. It seems that the importance attached to them has not been slowed down by the disappearance of Mountbatten Prison. Although I don't know what secrets they have to let the above take care of them so much, Zhao Li can vaguely guess from Ban Yunchan's crime.

At that time when he was in prison, Zhao Li still paid special attention to the news of HSBC's bankruptcy. As he expected, HSBC went bankrupt, but there was no negative news about insider corruption, and the public only knew that the investment of HSBC's investment department failed, resulting in a major funding gap.

Since it is not said that it went bankrupt because a huge amount of money was transferred, then there will be no such thing as funds being recovered. In this case, in other words, the funds may not have been recovered at all, and they are still in the hands of the class sister. In this way, there is a reason why she is given special care.

That's a huge amount of money enough for HSBC to go bankrupt, the second largest bank in the federation, with hundreds of thousands of outlets and tens of millions of employees. How much money should that be? has not been recovered so far, and such a huge sum of money can disappear silently, which means that Ban Yunchan has a huge and well-thought-out money laundering agency in addition to herself.

Sister Ban is like this, but what about the others? Do they all have one reason or another? Seeing the whole leopard at a glance, Zhao Li didn't need to delve into what secrets they had, as long as he knew that they were important enough, and he would even sacrifice himself to protect them when necessary, which was enough.

The first thing the prisoners who were brought down was Zhao Li and the old prison warden standing straight not far away. It seemed that everyone was in a good mood when they saw them, all of them were smiling, and even greeted them easily.

The four special soldiers followed the instructions of the prison guards and escorted everyone to their respective rooms according to their arrangements, but did not remove them from the torture equipment. It wasn't until everyone was in place that they were neatly untied under an order, and then all the special fighters quickly evacuated, quickly entered the escort battleship, and took off quickly.

In this regard, Zhao Li shook his head secretly, with the old prison warden by his side, I believe that even if those people have the heart, they don't have the courage to escape. Although the old warden had never shown his skills in front of everyone, Zhao Li had such an intuition. And it can also be seen from the time those people faced the old prison warden that the respect and fear from the heart are not pretended.

The new prison environment is good, and it seems that the prisoners are in a good mood. The arrangement of the prison this time is very special, and all the prison guards, except for Zhao Li, are all on duty on the periphery. As for Zhao Li, even his own resting room was arranged in the prisoner's area, and he almost ate and lived with these people. Although the salary is indeed higher, it is no different from him being in prison. The only difference is that Zhao Li can just go out when needed.

In this regard, Zhao Li did not have any rejection, at least, in his heart, it seemed easier to get along with these felons than with those soldiers who had many hearts. I don't know what such an arrangement means, but Zhao Li can be sure that the old warden will definitely not harm himself.

Life seems to be back to normal, there are no other ordinary prisoners here, and everyone is still living in good health. Zhao Li still lives the same life, anyway, his life is in this, and he can practice at any time, just as if he is on duty most of the time.

Communicating with these people is still Zhao Li's favorite thing. Although they don't talk about many things, they still talk about the triumphant battles they have experienced. These guys are all the elite of the elite, and the enemies they have to face are naturally not ordinary enemies.

Zhao Li used to live in a stable area, and the political axe deliberately weakened the propaganda, and the ordinary people only knew where there might be another small-scale disturbance, killing a few people, or another cult organization appeared in another place, bewitching how many people, and then being swept away by the political axe, never knowing that behind these seemingly a few words of news, there was a lot of blood of soldiers and how many sacrifices of innocent people were hidden.

"Hey, Zhao Li, what I'm going to say is a secret among secrets, do you dare to listen to it?" When bragging, there are always some guys who use this to shout.

"Do you dare to say it, are you afraid that I won't dare to listen? Let the horses come! At such a time, Zhao Li always beat and beat the other party, turning the other party's provocation into invisible.

"Hmph, just dare to listen, that's my proud work, I led an elite team at that time...... "It's always such a topic, this way, into the plot."

"Bragging, according to the terrain you said, plus the sentry set up by the other party, you can't do it at all......" There are always people who don't admit defeat, and they soon heard the flaws from inside.

"That's the way it was at that time, I arranged it like this......" There will always be disputes, but in front of Zhao Li, it seems that everyone has changed the martial arts to the civil fight, and they are talking on paper.

"Those people are really idiots, if it's me, it's just arranged, keep you in and die one ......by one" The atmosphere is very warm, and the argument is also very intense, sometimes, when a person says a battle example, there are always several people who refute it, everyone is a good player, it used to seem to be talking with fists, and now it happens to be a competition on it.

Zhao Li was always listening to the competition, this kind of level of competition, no matter how good he was, he was not qualified to join. However, this kind of actual battle example also opened Zhao Li's eyes, and he was almost crazy to grab the knowledge he wanted from it.

For Zhao Li, the sergeant, the prison guards who were in charge of guarding outside also felt very strange. The young guy seemed to be very familiar with all the people inside, and he didn't see a single person do anything to him.

Even the guards outside need to maintain order when they are occasionally eating or at other times. There will always be some friction. These guys don't give face to anyone, as long as they don't think about them, they will always fight. Even though the True Qi has been sealed, the fighting skills of these guys can still make these people outside more or less marked.

After going through it a few times, the guys outside who made mistakes and were demoted also understood that it seemed that coming here meant to hone them in addition to managing the prison. No wonder there was a training ground for special fighters outside, and the equipment placed was almost exactly the same as around the sports field inside. Seeing that the prisoners inside would conduct regular training under the condition of the True Qi Seal, I couldn't help but learn their training methods.

But Zhao Li still made them very curious, most of these people's reasons for being imprisoned were also public, and it was very unexpected that such a murderous guy would get along so well with a young guy. No wonder there is such an arrangement, with him, those guys will be very honest most of the time, and few people will have friction with other prison guards in front of Zhao Li, even if there is, Zhao Li will dispel his mind after a sentence or two. Looking at their appearance, it seems that the prisoners took the initiative to let go of the prison guards, and the appearance of stinky farts made everyone unhappy.

However, if you are not happy, you will not be happy, but I admire Zhao Li's method of resolving the contradiction between gestures. What happened to Zhao Li before, including the things on Mountbatten Planet and another prison, were all confidential and could not be revealed to everyone, so those people were puzzled by this, and they could only think that Zhao Li was an acquaintance.

The old warden seems to be very busy lately, and Zhao Li hasn't seen him for a while, so he doesn't know what he's busy with. The living environment here is very good, the only bad thing is that there is no outside information. Zhao Li also allowed to write a letter to his home regularly, and he also received letters from home from time to time, and others did not even have such a chance.

What it looks like outside now, but even Zhao Li doesn't know. He only knows that the situation in his family is much better now, and it seems that because of the last accident, his father's position in the research institute has been upgraded by one level, I don't know if it is because of the energy of the perpetrator or the energy of the old prison warden, but no matter what it is, it is inseparable from the old prison warden.

Sometimes Zhao Li also wonders, is this arrangement some disguised subsidy for people like himself who have not seen the sky for several years?

After serving for six years, he couldn't leave, which Zhao Li had never thought of before. was still harmed by that damn genius school, and in order to protect Kristeen, someone asked Zhao Li to come to such a wild place. I didn't think that I was not raised as a guinea pig, but in the end, I was still affected by the guinea pig.

But that's fine, even if it's to compensate for the loss caused by not being a guinea pig. If this is not the case, how can it be possible to learn the nameless exercises, how can it be possible to learn to divide the muscles and bones?

The old warden appeared in front of him very mysteriously, and Zhao Li naturally put down all the work in his hand and followed the old warden to walk around casually.

"Are you still used to it here?" The old warden asked very easily, but Zhao Li heard some tiredness from it. What could make the old warden so tired? Zhao Li wanted to know, but keeping in mind Ban Yunchan's words, he couldn't be too curious in the army, and he didn't dare to ask.

"It's a nice place to live." Zhao Li replied with a plausible answer, and the old warden didn't pursue anything.

"The situation out there is not optimistic right now." Inexplicably, the old warden said such a sentence, which made Zhao Li a little confused.

"Remember when you first arrived at Mountbatten, there was a battle alert?" When the old prison warden mentioned it, Zhao Li thought about it, it would seem that there would be rebels, so there would be a battle alarm, but Zhao Li was not very clear about the specific situation.

"The rebels have been very strong recently, they have completely captured Noah's Star, and in several battles with the political axe army, they have won major victories, and the military is now under great pressure." From the words of the old warden of a major victory, it was clear that the rebels must have had a great advantage.

But should these be the old warden? He's just a lieutenant colonel and warden! Although I know that the old prison warden has a lot of power behind him, there is no reason for a prison warden to take care of these military deployment issues, right?

Fortunately, although the rebels are large, they are still on Noah's planet for the time being, and the loss of the army is only the loss of outer space, and the war has not yet burned to the ground. The earth is still very safe, knowing this, Zhao Li is also a lot more relieved, at least his parents are still safe.

He had never been exposed to these before, and Zhao Li didn't know what to say. The old prison warden just pulled Zhao Li to relax, and did not mean to explain to him in detail. I guess he just thought he should know something, so he mentioned it.

"Sir, come to you for a drink, you look tired." Looking at the old prison warden's increasingly old face, Zhao Li didn't know what he felt in his heart, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've sat down with you." The old prison warden was also very interested, and everyone appreciated Zhao Li's proposal. Soon, the two appeared in the old warden's office.

Wine, juice, this is the constant theme of the meeting between two people. Seeing the old warden squeeze juice for himself with one hand, Zhao Li even wanted to help. However, seeing that the old warden was enjoying himself, he didn't say much.

"I'm too old to do it for many years." The old prison warden took a sip of wine and suddenly said this to Zhao Li.

"Sir, you still look very energetic!" Zhao Li is also more open to speaking now.

"Just look at the spirit, I know it myself." The old warden smiled bitterly and took another sip of wine.

"Maybe I'll be retired in a year or two. However, there are still many things in hand, which need to be explained one by one, which is very troublesome! The old warden looked at Zhao Li, didn't know why he suddenly sat up, and faced Zhao Li straightly: "I think I need an heir, are you interested?" ”

(To be continued)
