Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 93 Prison
The dim light barely shone on the aisle, making the puddles of various sizes shine brightly. One could even smell a hint of detergent mixed with rust and sweat, which was extremely depressing.

"Tattoo~"

The sound of anklets hitting the metal floor could be heard in the distance, breaking the gloom that permeated the place. Faint points of light shone through the cold iron windows, peeking into the dark corridor.

"Heh, there are quite a lot of newcomers during this period."

“I don’t know where these people were sent.”

"Shut your dog mouth, it's definitely not a good thing."

"..."

Yuan Ze heard these secret conversations. He was accused by the two commanders and then taken into custody in this internment camp where a large number of Yuan warriors were detained.

His purpose is to explore an incident involving a high-level conspiracy, and the clues to this conspiracy may be hidden in the whispers of these criminals.

At this moment, Yuan Ze was wearing a standard prisoner uniform, and the heavy shackles locked his energy flow. He could only move forward slowly and arduously along the corridor. In this empty and cold environment, his footsteps echoed, clear and lonely.

The guard untied the shackles indifferently, and with a gentle push, Yuan Ze fell into the deep portal at the end that had just opened.

As his eyes gradually adjusted to the dimness of the new environment, Yuanze could only see the faint light coming in from outside, barely illuminating the interior of the cell. The walls were covered with graffiti and scratches, recording the anger, despair and endless boredom of the prisoners who had been imprisoned here.

Yuan Ze's eyes finally fell on the prisoner in the lower bunk. It was a burly man, curled up on the bed with his back to him, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Despite this, Yuanze could still feel the dangerous aura emanating from him, a unique aura that only a warrior who had experienced countless life-and-death battles and crawled out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood could have.

"Don't provoke him."

A pale face emerged in the darkness beside Yuanze. His hair was extremely sparse, with only a dozen strands remaining, scattered on his head.

"Why?" Yuanze asked knowingly.

"You're new here, do you know the rules?" A sinister voice came from deep inside the cell, with a hint of dissatisfaction and threat, "He's the boss here, don't cause trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness, trying to give Yuan Ze a warning. However, Yuan Ze reacted quickly and slapped him away, throwing him against the wall. The surrounding inmates exclaimed and cast surprised glances.

The burly man heard the noise, turned around, propped up his head and looked at the little guy in front of him with interest, as if trying to see through Yuan Ze's thoughts.

"Third brother, don't be so impulsive." A gentle voice broke the tense atmosphere, and a slightly handsome young scholar walked out of the crowd. He looked gentle and refined, with a bit of the temperament of a military advisor.

The burly man nodded, agreeing with the young man's words. He also walked up to Yuanze and extended his right hand to show his friendship. His movements were graceful and unhurried, showing the demeanor of a leader.

Yuan Ze did not rush to shake hands, but first carefully looked at the burly man in front of him. He was the big boss in the prison recorded in the file - "Han Zi".

The man was at least 2.3 meters tall, with strong muscles, standing in front of Yuanze like a small mountain. There were two long scars on his face, extending from his eyes to his chin, intertwined, and stopping at his neck, adding a bit of hideousness to his face.

Yuan Ze clenched his hands with a snap, and a huge force instantly came from his hands. He instantly realized that the man in front of him was an unrivaled human master, and the Rongtong-level power he exerted was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of his power.

The man obviously underestimated Yuan Ze's strength, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He found that most of his strength seemed to be removed in front of Yuan Ze, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not exert his full strength.

The two men let go of each other's hands and stared at each other, quickly judging in their hearts whether the other was a friend or an enemy. The prisoners around them could not understand what was happening, and no one dared to make a sound. The air seemed to freeze, and everyone was suffocating.

"Little brother, what's your name, and why are you here?" The man broke the silence and stared at Yuan Ze and asked. "Ze Yuan got into a fight and killed someone by mistake." Yuan Ze calmly stated his fake identity.

The man felt Yuan Ze's aura, which he could control with ease, and secretly admired him. Such a young man should not be underestimated no matter where he was.

"Welcome here." Although the man felt that he was not telling the truth, he still gave him enough respect, "You can call me 'Han Zi', and you can sleep on my upper bunk from now on."

After hearing this, the third brother, who had been planning to complain, immediately gave up and lay back on his bed in a huff.

This sudden farce ended and the atmosphere in the cell gradually returned to calm.

Although everyone returned to their respective positions, everyone couldn't help but have some murmurs and thoughts in their hearts.

They were all speculating about Yuan Ze's identity and strength, as well as his future position and influence in the cell.

Yuanze lay on the hard upper bunk, thinking about the scenes just now. No matter where you are, only strength can win respect. This simple truth is even more vividly reflected in the special environment of the shelter.

"Yuan Ze, how did you feel when you went to prison for the first time?" Astra appeared in front of Yuan Ze again. It turned out that this imprisonment was a special arrangement by the two commanders, and the prison uniform on his body was transformed from his own battle suit.

Yuan Ze didn't say anything after hearing this. His thoughts drifted back to a few days ago, when he hadn't even walked out of the ward of the critically ill patient when he received a message from Commander Chen.

"Sun Zeyuan, please come to the command post immediately."

It turned out that after the two commanders sent people to search continuously, they found many suspicious points and even directly arrested many source beasts that might be lurking in human society.

But they could not distinguish between the source beasts in human form and real humans. Even the life resonator could not tell the difference, not to mention the traditional blood-drawing DNA test.

Commander Chu had suggested using a psychoanalyzer to forcefully extract information, but this instrument has strong side effects and is generally only used to interrogate major criminals. If it is forcibly used on ordinary people, it may cause irreversible damage.

Therefore, this proposal was rejected by Commander Chen.

As a result, while they were still discussing how to distinguish them, their superiors suddenly sent several specialists to take over the mission. The two commanders had no choice but to hand over the right to "capture the humanoid monster".

The two commanders knew that this was not a simple matter, because it was a completely opposite decision from the previous decentralization. If it were in the past, they might have chosen to protect themselves.

But since meeting Yuan Ze and "Sun Zeyuan", Commander Chen's ideas have changed dramatically. He even transferred part of his power and persuaded Commander Chu to join the game.

So they hoped that Yuan Ze could play a trick with them, that is, to treat Yuan Ze as a suspect, and get close to those source beasts transformed into human form to see if there was any way to find a way to identify them.

Although Yuanze felt that this was quite difficult, in a way "going to jail" was also a very interesting experience, so Yuanze readily agreed.

"I hope this won't be recorded in the file. I still have business to do when the time comes." Yuanze put on handcuffs and anklets, turned around and made a joke.

"Hahaha, of course it won't affect the Sun family's business. As long as you act according to the plan and information, there will be no problem."

The two commanders were also somewhat amused by Yuanze, and a long-lost smile appeared on their faces. They nodded, asking Yuanze to believe them.
