Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 724 Battle Royale
The spacecraft takes two and a half hours to travel from the fish cage to Prison No. 444.

Jose and a group of prison guards went to the bridge as soon as they got on board, leaving only three Destroyer II machine guards in the cabin to maintain order.

The so-called passenger cabin is actually a converted cargo hold with a few rows of seats temporarily added. However, the seats are also very uncomfortable. They are basically a piece of iron plate with a seat belt. Fortunately, there is plenty of space here, so you don't really feel your butt hurt except when accelerating or decelerating.

Malu originally wanted to take advantage of this time to have a good chat with the inmates around him, and strive to integrate into the warm family of Prison No. 444 as soon as possible.

However, he found several people in a row, and they either told him to get out or inserted a steel pipe into his butt as soon as he opened his mouth.

Looking at the rabbit man again, he was now listening to music on his walkman, even playing it loudly without any manners. Several people around him were shouting that they wanted to kill him.

However, before leaving, Jose said that anyone who left their seat would be shot dead by the robot, so those guys could only talk but could not take any action.

Millipede looked out the window and began to admire the scenery.

Just then the door to the cabin opened, revealing Aelin behind it.

The female doctor looked at the ferocious prisoners in the cabin and felt a little nervous, but in the end she glanced at the robot beside her and took a step forward and walked towards Millipede.

Although the prisoners could not stand up, they kept their mouths shut. Some blew whistles, some made threats, and constantly harassed the female doctor.

The latter lowered his head, quickened his pace, came in front of Malu and spoke.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you out of here."

Malu withdrew his gaze from the window and raised his eyebrows, "Thank you, but no thanks, I said I can stay here for a while."

"I know you have to say this because you are afraid of Captain Jose," Ailin said quickly, grabbing Malu's hand, "I just want to tell you, no matter what happens, don't give up hope."

"…………"

"I haven't given up hope." Malu said, "But you're right, I do need some help."

"Tell me your name and address, and I will immediately ask someone to go to your dimension to investigate. After proving your citizenship, I can apply to the warden to release you from prison."

"But I... have lost my memory." Malu decided to learn from Korean dramas and just lose his memory if he couldn't explain himself.

"Ah..." Ailin was also a little surprised, but she seemed to have thought of something, and soon her eyes became compassionate again.

"You spent quite a while in the fish cage. Those criminals must have attacked you. Do you have any injuries on your head? Let me take a look."

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Malu's head, and actually felt a big bump on the top of the latter's head.

The big bag was caused by the dead rabbit when the millipede was fighting with the rabbit man.

But now it has become the evidence of Ailin's previous guess, and she looks at the millipede with more pity.

"It's okay. Many amnesias are temporary. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will soon remember where you came from." However, when it comes to recuperation, the female doctor sighed again. "Life in Prison No. 444 will be very hard, especially for a good person like you. I hope you can be mentally prepared. All the prisoners here are sentenced to more than years. Although I disagree with Captain Jose's working method.

"But we have to admit that in some ways, his rough approach also protected him and other staff in the prison to a certain extent."

Ailin looked around and lowered his voice, "Be careful of the people around you. Most of them are out-and-out criminals."

"Then why not just kill them?" Malu said, "100 years, most people can't live that long."

"Your amnesia seems to be more serious than I expected. The Grand Alliance completely abolished the death penalty 600 years ago." Ailin said, "The court can only impose corresponding sentences based on each person's crime. Someone destroyed the life of a planet, and his sentence even exceeded 5 trillion years."

"Okay." Malu got a lot of useful information from the female doctor. He then asked, "Can you tell me more about fishing? I don't quite understand."

"To put it simply, fishing is a sentence reduction activity organized by Prison No. 444," Ailin answered every question.

"There are many fish species living in the space of this dimension. They have high economic value, so the prison sends prisoners out to fish. Depending on the type and amount of fish caught, their sentences can be cancelled."

"Reform through labor." Malu snapped his fingers and understood immediately. Isn't this just another form of pedaling a sewing machine? "But why do you use prisoners? I see that your weapons and equipment are quite advanced, and you have robots. Why don't you use robots to fish directly? It's more convenient, right?"

"Because it will affect the quality of the fish meat." Ailin said, "Once large machinery approaches them, the fish's bodies will produce a chemical reaction in a very short period of time, causing their pH values ​​to rise, which will greatly destroy the taste.

"So-called fish cages are often converted from abandoned space stations or spacecraft. They are completely powerless and are dragged into the asteroid belt because those fish schools often appear there."

“Besides,” Ailin paused, and then continued, “with bait, it will be easier to attract fish.”

"What do you use as bait?"

"Life forms, especially intelligent life forms, are the bait used by the prison. Those space fish can smell the meaty aroma of intelligent life forms from a long distance."

Malu looked strange, "So... we are both fishermen and bait?"

"That's right." Ailin said, "Fishing is very dangerous, which is why serious criminals are used for fishing.

"Hey, listen to me. You must not participate in fishing activities after entering the prison." The female doctor's expression was solemn. "A total of 107 people participated in this fishing activity, but in the end only 28 people survived, including you, an outsider. More than two-thirds of the people died."

"In order to attract more space fish into the fish cages, the prison will not even distribute weapons to prisoners at the beginning, but hide weapons in various places in the fish cages. Many people are eaten by space fish while searching for weapons."

"Wow, battle royale mode."

Malu asked curiously, "Has anyone successfully reduced their sentence and left prison by fishing?"

"I don't know. I've only been in Prison 444 for less than three months." Ailin said, "I was originally an intern at a public hospital. They said I had to work here for six months before I could get my diploma."
