Zeng Qingchen also thought about it, will there be a countdown on other people's arms?

Now, it seems, his speculation has finally come true.

How many people are there in the traversers? hundreds, thousands?

There must be a lot of people who have crossed into this world from the earth, and there are two of them in this prison alone, not to mention the world outside the prison.

"The newcomer who came this time is a bit interesting, like a fool," someone laughed: "I heard that he came in for 7 years for tax evasion?"

"People who dare to mess with tax collection agencies these days are not fools......

Qingchen looked at the source of the voice, it was a young man with mechanical legs, and when the other party saw him, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Hey, new here, are you ready?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Qingchen frowned, but ignored it, he looked back at the teenager who was surrounded by the drone, he had seen each other.

Qingchen is 17 years old and is in his second year of high school at a Chinese school outside Los Angeles.

And this broken teenager is a freshman in high school.

This made Qingchen a little surprised, could it be that the location before the crossing was close, and the position after the crossing would also be very close?

Qingchen also discovered one thing: all the people here speak Mandarin, but none of them speak dialects.

At this moment, the robot guard is rushing up the staircase, each step crossing five stairs, accompanied by the distinctive sound of hydraulic transmission.

The boy was already crying like a man.

When ordinary people meet "fellow villagers" in unfamiliar places, they will feel an inexplicable sense of security.

But Qingchen didn't feel this way, he looked at the teenager who was on the verge of collapse and realized that "fellow villagers" may not be able to help you, but may become a drag.

Not everyone can remain calm in the face of this newcomer to the mechanical civilization.

Qingchen stood in place, looking around the prison fortress.

Nine robots who had just rushed through the gate outside the prison area went upstairs to take the panicked teenager away.

The downstairs square is very wide, and the square is divided into several areas: restaurant, fitness equipment entertainment area, reading area, audio-visual area and so on......

At the edge of the square, there are four large steel gates.

Suddenly, Qingchen was stunned, and he saw that there were already three people who appeared at the table in the square downstairs at some point.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was sitting, and two other young men were smiling beside him, looking up at the prisoners upstairs with interest.

The middle-aged man had a chessboard in front of him, and a set of endgames had been set up on the chessboard.

Next to the chessboard, there was a cat napping with its paws, gray, with two clumps of pointed fur on its ears, which looked a bit like a lynx, but it was not.

Maine.

Can you still have a cat in prison?!

Qingchen was a little stunned, his eyes were attracted by the "fellow villagers" just now, so much so that he didn't even see when these three people and one cat came to the square.

At this time, I saw the middle-aged man staring intently at the chessboard, as if what was happening upstairs had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, even the robots in the square are as if these three people and one cat do not exist.

The seriousness and tension upstairs and the lightness and calmness downstairs are in stark contrast to two different worlds.

Among the three, two young people were wearing normal blue and white prison uniforms, while the middle-aged men were wearing white practice uniforms.

In this gloomy and oppressive environment, the white is extremely dusty.

Prison warden?

No, although the other party was wearing a training uniform that was different from that of other prisoners, the training uniform also had a small black sentence number embroidered on the chest.

As if sensing his gaze, a young man next to the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and looked back at him with a smile, as if he was scrutinizing.

Qingchen immediately withdrew his gaze.

After the collapsed Earth boy was taken away, the announcement sounded again in the prison fortress: "Go to the restaurant in order of queue." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qingchen saw all the prisoners turn to the right, and everyone lined up in a long formation, heading down the stairs to the square.

It was only then that Qingchen had the opportunity to count all the prisoners: including him, 3,102.

When I was eating, I saw two burly prisoners pulling a young man and walking to the cell on the first floor closest to the restaurant, and many people were following and coaxing.

Someone explained: "Quickly pull him into the cell, don't hurt him in the square, and beware of the mechanical prison guards." ”

At the same time, the young man struggled and screamed, "Let go of me!"

However, no matter what he said, no one paid attention to him, and instead attracted even more noisy ridicule.

Suddenly, the old man with a mechanical eye installed in front of Qingchen turned around and smiled: "Don't look around, it will be your turn later." ”

Qingchen glanced at the old man calmly, and the old man didn't know why, and suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

Qingchen found that the three people around him approached him as if they were not there, as if they wanted to directly control him!

He suddenly quickened his pace and broke away from the cooking team, and the other party also quickened his pace, surrounding him tightly!

The next moment, the picture in this prison fortress seemed to have been carefully revisited in Qingchen's mind.

Eighteen steel beast-like machine guns sit quietly on the dome, like sleeping tigers.

Seventy-two drones hang from a hive with a gray ceiling, like sleeping wasps.

210 monitors slowly rotated the angle, and 3 robots stood with guns in the square.

One by one, the prisoners received their meals from the windows, and some complained about the unpalatable synthetic meat today.

On the square, everyone shuttled back and forth, some went to the fitness area, and some onlookers watched the newcomer ceremony.

However, everyone subconsciously avoided ...... The middle-aged man staring at the chessboard.

The man was still looking at the chessboard seriously, and no one approached for five meters around.

Like a calm, hard reef at sea level, all rough waters and ships must retreat.

Qingchen sped through the encirclement of the three and walked in the direction of the middle-aged man.

Looking at the direction he was heading, many people suddenly realized what this newcomer wanted to do.

Gradually, more and more people turned their eyes to him and whispered, and the expressions on the faces of the prisoners seemed to be waiting to see him laugh.

It's just that Qingchen turned a deaf ear to those banters, and continued to carry the plate as if no one was around, passing through the crowd.

Before he could get closer, he was stopped by the young man next to the middle-aged man.

The other party smiled and said, "New here, I know what you are planning, but we won't help you." ”

Qingchen ignored him, just looked behind the young man, he looked at the middle-aged man seriously and said, "The former soldier is in one, I can solve this endgame." ”

The middle-aged man didn't raise his head until then.

The moment he looked up, the square suddenly fell silent, and the big gray cat opened its eyes.
