Chapter 552: Chaos in the Prisoner of War Camp
This situation is also expected, the boar beasts are already timid, because the number of these captives is extremely small, and the person in charge of escorting does not bother to put the opposite image on the surface of the space-time gate, so after seeing the pitch-black space-time gate, these wild boar beasts were scared to pee.
"No, I don't want to die......" Raka and several other boar beasts shouted and pleaded in their language, of course, the machine and human controller who were in charge of escorting them could not understand their pleas, let alone care if they were scared to pee, and finally pushed the group of boar beasts to the other side of the space-time gate.
Raqqa passed through the space-time gate with his eyes closed, and as soon as he passed through the space-time gate, the external environment immediately changed greatly, from a cold and quiet battleship cabin to a noisy desert. The boar beasts, who had been scared and were about to cry, were immediately confused by the noise and the rolling heat wave when they were pushed over.
They found themselves suddenly in a huge desert with no edge in sight, standing on a platform with a dozen stairs in front of them, and behind them was a pitch-black space-time gate, almost indistinguishable from the other side, and everywhere they could see was a sea of white tents.
There were also many other Covenant captives at the scene, densely scattered in different areas according to the distribution of tents. No one at the scene seemed surprised to see their new captives escorted over, including the other captives who had been in the desert for a few days.
In fact, some of the closer Covenant captives laughed at their cowardice from a distance after seeing that new prisoners of war had been brought in at the Space-Time Gate, and that the newcomers were obviously frightened.
"Look at those idiots... Haha, it's like a ghost......" A gnollmon captive with a plaster cast on his arm taunted a team of lightly wounded prisoners of war waiting for medical treatment not far away, having forgotten the antics of himself and his companions when they were escorted through the space-time gate.
Raqqa and the other boar captives saw these scenes before them, and soon realized that they had just passed through some kind of space portal, and they were now on a strange planet! Got it. They finally suppressed the terrible feeling they had just felt.
After being taken off the platform, they were taken to an infirmary-like room, where after a guò security scan and a brief examination, several humans, who seemed strangely dressed to them, attached a plastic bracelet to each of them to their left wrist.
This is an electronic identification bracelet with an extremely low cost and a built-in identification and positioning chip. They are responsible for the storage of personal information and location. All prisoners of war in all the camps had such a bracelet on their bodies, ensuring that each and every one of them could be found by the guards at all times.
In addition to storing functions such as POW number, location information, etc., this bracelet can also monitor the basic physiological signs of POWs. Of course, this was not for their health, but to prevent the POWs from cutting off the bracelets after finding the tools.
With this real-time monitoring and sending mechanism, the monitoring system will give an early warning if the signal is interrupted. Based on the location and physiological characteristics provided by the bracelets, the guards can promptly find prisoners of war who violate the rules or even participate in riots, and carry out targeted suppression.
Why such a bracelet was issued to prisoners of war has to be said a few days ago. Originally. There was no such arrangement when the first Covenant POWs were brought back. The reason why a new prisoner of war like Raqqa was put on one of these bracelets in the first place was entirely because of an accident that happened in other prisoner of war camps.
You must know that the prisoner of war camp where Raqqa is now located is only one of a dozen large prisoner of war camps of the same size within a radius of 200 kilometers nearby. In total, there were only three fully armored divisions in these POW camps, which were responsible for all POW camp security.
This meant that every POW camp was filled with previously captured Covenant soldiers. On average, there were more than 100,000 prisoners of war in each camp, but on average there were only one or two regimental combat units responsible for guarding them.
In other words, more than a hundred captives correspond to one human guard. If you count the armed aircraft qì people, this ratio can be reduced to 30 to 1, and according to the ratio requirements of human prisoner of war management, the ratio of this captive to the guard force is not too bad.
Considering the large number of heavy weapons in the hands of the guards, this number of guards could actually be considered more than enough, as their firepower could easily defeat any resistance from the prisoners of war.
But these POW camps were not professional prisons after all, and there were no towering watchtowers. Tight access control. The Covenant soldiers who are being held here are not prisoners with a negative organization, on the contrary. Many of them are veterans with combat experience.
The prisoners of war held in these camps included most of the races in the Covenant, including Boarmon, Gnollmon, Hand Bugs, Elites, Ghostfaces, ....... And the vast majority of them are the crew of the Covenant supercarrier named the Long Night, which is considered a brother unit within the chain of command!
After being captured, many of them still did not know what forces they had been defeated. It wasn't until they were escorted through the Space-Time Gate and assigned to their respective prisoner-of-war camps that they were uniformly informed of the names of the Space-Time Council. And slowly figured out a series of events that happened before and after.
During that time, all the officers among the prisoners of war were identified and held in solitary confinement, and the ordinary prisoner of war camps were housed only by prisoners of close rank. Prevent high-ranking POWs from organizing enough people to riot or even escape.
The vast majority of the work during the establishment of the POW camp was carried out by the disarmed POWs themselves under the supervision of the troops. Even after completing these necessary physical tasks, they are still assigned to do some physical tasks such as digging sand that are meaningless in the desert every day. to ensure that the POWs did not have the time and energy to organize a riot.
Because the prisoners of war belonged to different races, the food they ate was naturally different from that of humans. At present, their daily consumption of food supplies is directly captured by the expedition team from their ships, which can last for several months, but it is impossible to manage it forever.
Shen Chao didn't have a plan to slaughter these prisoners of war for no reason, so the best plan was to get the main target of the aura plane before the food was consumed, and then send all these prisoners of war back, so that the kamikaze martyrs could think about how to raise them.
There were quite a few wounded prisoners in the POW camps, most of whom were wounded before being captured, and a few who were sent to the POW camp to fight with other POWs. These men were sent to temporary hospitals set up in each prisoner of war camp, where they were treated and cared for by doctors found among the prisoners of war.
In addition to the hospitals in the prisoner of war camps, the kitchens were also built and operated by the prisoners themselves, so this high-risk place where the prisoners of war could communicate freely was guarded by a large number of armed men. Even in the ordinary areas of the camps, armed aircraft were constantly patrolling the corners of the camps, replacing the lack of guards in the strict.
From time to time, a small number of mecha patrols or convoys of armored combat vehicles patrol the various passages in the camp, and it is usually only then that the prisoners of war can see their captives up close and inflict unprecedented human damage on them.
Of course, in fact, the people who participated in these patrols were all second-line troops in the space-time fleet, and they had participated in far fewer operations than the first-line troops, and almost no one had participated in military operations in the different planes.
Just as the captives were terrified when they patrolled in their chariots, these guys sitting in chariots and mechs were nervous when they saw a large number of onlookers outside, and some of the recruits even had the urge to pull the trigger and kill with their cannons. But fortunately, even in the second-line troops, most of the members of them have participated in the operation of besieging and killing mutants, and they are not really shooting indiscriminately.
In addition to these troops on the ground to maintain order, there will also be a large number of drone fleets in the sky from time to time, deterring any lucky prisoners. In theory, this arrangement is quite reasonable, and even slightly milder than the treatment that some low-ranking Covenant soldiers receive in their own units.
Of course, this method of prisoner of war management, which has been relatively well established for human prisoners of war, inevitably encountered some surprises when it was applied. Due to the lack of access to the Covenant's language, communication between the captives was completely secret to the mechs and mechs patrolling the guards who guarded them.
Many people of a samurai race like the elite could not be held prisoner with peace of mind. Many of them, after discovering that their guards could not understand their own language, quickly realized that this was an advantage on their side, and in the first days of the camp, covertly organized some fairly successful riots.
During their riots, several soldiers who participated in armed patrols were killed or wounded, which in turn provoked the anger of the guards and began a fierce crackdown on the elite POW camps, capturing and collectively shooting hundreds of elites, satisfying the revenge of the guards.
The only problem was that, just as they couldn't understand the Covenant language, they were completely unable to effectively identify the difference between the aliens, so many of the elites who were executed in that mass execution did not actually participate in the riot.
Such "unfair" repression did not have the desired effect, but only strengthened the conviction of some elites to revolt. These days, the camp of the elite clan has been rioting, and the camp of the ghost-faced beast has begun to show instability.
In this case, according to the usual practice of the expedition, it is natural to mobilize military forces and suppress them fiercely. Until you subdue any organization that dares to confront it. However, due to the particularity of the current situation, two days ago, Shen Chao gave up the option of brainless suppression after learning about the changes in the prisoner of war camp in the rear and carefully considering it, and instead sent someone over to help stabilize the situation.
