Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"It's huge, comparable to the core city of Chernobog," Qi Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

As a scientific researcher, Himer immediately demonstrated her professional science popularization skills by introducing the topic:

"Mansfield Prison is a very rare mobile prison. It is large in scale and fully equipped. With sufficient resources, it can move freely in the wilderness for up to several months."

This is precisely why the ironclad rule of Mansfield Prison was that no one could escape, because those who did escape would die in the wilderness without supplies.

Qi Yan clicked his tongue, unconcerned about any of that; he only cared about one thing:

"How does this thing compare to the core city of Chernobog at full speed?"

Chapter 165 Going to Jail!

Himer didn't quite understand Qi Yan's focus.

She adjusted her glasses and analyzed seriously, "This prison can actually be considered a kind of mobile city-state. It doesn't usually enter full-speed movement mode, so the specific data is unknown."

However, based on comparative analysis, Mansfield Prison is an independent entity and does not need to consider coordination with other city blocks; therefore, its development speed should surpass that of Chernobog's core city.

"Yes, yes, I, Qi Xiaobai, have never been inferior to anyone in my life!"

Qi Yan grinned, revealing a bright smile.

Kafka was clearly somewhat frightened.

As a seasoned prankster, she was well aware of the reasons behind this smile.

Qi Lin sat next to Qi Yan, silently sentencing Mansfield Prison to death in her heart.

Meanwhile, in Mansfield Prison, the prison captain, a cigar dangling from his lips, wore a displeased expression on his fleshy face.

“Those idiots from Saint Sophie are coming. Close the passage and let them land.”

As for their application submitted yesterday, it was rejected outright. What do they think Mansfield Prison is? A place where they can do whatever they want!

The two prison guards behind him nodded repeatedly.

The prison guard captain thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and snorted:

"No, I have to teach those stupid guys a lesson, otherwise I'll be driven crazy if they have such naive ideas again!"

With that, the prison guard captain turned and left his office, preparing to personally greet the vehicles from the Saint Sophie City law enforcement agency.

The two prison guards exchanged a glance, both showing disdain.

After the prison guard captain disappeared, the two men burst into laughter in unison.

"Captain Barton, he's just starting to get cocky because he heard that the warden was delayed and wouldn't be going back to the prison this time."

"To use an old saying from Yan, this is called 'when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.' This fat pig doesn't really care about the reputation of the prison; he just wants to act arrogantly in front of others."

After the mockery was over, the two stopped wasting time and went about their own business.

Every time the prison stops, it's a time when they have to be on high alert, because if someone tries to escape during this time, they have a very high chance of surviving.

Once the myth that Mansfield Prison is an inescapable prison is shattered, the warden's money-making machine will be rendered useless, and they will all face the warden's terrifying retribution.

Patton was unaware that his men were talking about him behind his back, and he didn't care.

Anyway, these people are destined to be nothing more than good-for-nothings who gossip behind his back for the rest of their lives.

Barton stood at the prison's external access point, silently watching the law enforcement vehicles land.

The enforcement team leader, along with Qi Yan and others, got out of the car one by one and walked up to Barton.

"Captain Barton, these are the prisoners we'll be taking in this time." The enforcement team leader pointed to Qi Yan, then shifted the topic to Qi Lin, "As for this young lady, she's a prison guard we recommended. Please take good care of her!"

"When should I agree... uh?"

Barton instinctively wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but the moment his gaze fell on Qi Lin, he changed the words that were about to come out:

"No problem, she'll be a member of our prison guard team from now on!"

Qi Lin remained expressionless and made no comment.

Qi Lin's indifference had no effect on Barton and the captain of the enforcement team. The two of them burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, one constantly giving instructions and the other constantly making assurances, as if they were handing over some treasure.

Afterwards, the captain of the enforcement team reluctantly left the prison, while Barton personally led Qi Lin and gave her a detailed introduction to the situation inside the prison.

"That's Area A, which is reserved for non-infected prisoners. On the other side is Area B, which is the territory for infected prisoners. This area in the middle is the activity area. We usually set aside time for prisoners to move around freely here, which is also our biggest source of amusement."

"As for that area, it's Section C, where some special serious offenders are held. You need to be careful of a guy named Anthony there; he's a bit special."

"The last area is the rest area for our prison guards. I'll arrange for you to go to the logistics department and get a set of prison guard uniforms right away."

Qi Yan and the others followed silently behind the two.

As long as they didn't speak, Patton didn't notice them at all.

Qi Yan even suspected that if he were to run away at this moment, Barton might not even notice.

Himer, standing to the side, pursed his lips, his expression somewhat complicated, and whispered, "I should have known better than to involve Mina. The prison's structure is already known."

"No, she has to come!"

Qi Yan said solemnly.

Ahead, Barton had already warmly escorted Qi Lin to the door of the logistics room and watched her go in to receive her prison guard uniform.

Only then did he finally notice the group of little tails behind him.

Barton's expression changed instantly, and he hissed at Qi Yan and the other three:

"A bunch of blind fools! Who gave you permission to follow me? Get back to your cells!"

"Do you think it's possible?" Qi Yan asked innocently, "that we have no idea where our cells are?"

Patton choked immediately.

Qi Yan squatted in his own cell, watching helplessly as his younger sister locked the cell door herself.

After locking the door, Qi Lin even carefully tugged at it to make sure it was securely locked before leaving, satisfied.

From the cell next to his, Kafka's cheers could be heard:

"I've finally experienced what it's like to be in prison. My life has taken another step towards perfection!"

Hammer's voice then rang out: "Everyone, hurry up and familiarize yourselves with the terrain and environment..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mel let out a low growl:

"A mere prison can't stop me from designing! Watch me use my brain to deduce the design steps!"

Qi Yan scratched his head, not joining in the three's chaotic conversation, and glanced at the environment of the detention cell.

The beds were clean and tidy, the lighting was fairly bright, and there was even a private bathroom. More importantly, each person's cell was a single room!

"Tsk, I didn't get to experience prison life before because of my age, but now I've made up for it."

Qi Yan muttered something to himself and threw himself onto the bed.

Then he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"I was careless. This bed looks soft, but it's nothing compared to the dorms at Rhodes Island!"

After fidgeting on the bed for a while, Qi Yan, feeling a bit bored, took out his terminal to watch a show.

Then he looked at the terminal in his hand and froze:

"Holy crap, the enforcement team and Barton were so focused on Qi Lin, they didn't even search her?!"

Qi Yan was once again shocked by the power of the divine authority, and then began to enjoy the benefits that this power brought him.

Time flew by, escorted by the terminal.

For three days in a row, Qi Yan stayed in prison, watching TV shows at sunrise and resting at sunset. His younger sister would personally bring him meals at mealtimes.

With the help of a power bank obtained from his younger sister, the terminal's performance was incredibly long-lasting.

Qi Yan felt as if he had entered paradise.

"Rhodes Island is a load of rubbish, I'm not going back!"

Unfortunately, good times always come to an end.

With a slight tremor in the prison, the behemoth started up again and slowly drove into the desolate wilderness.

Once the prison was completely out of the city, the prisoners' faces lit up with excitement.

They are finally about to have a normal routine, and will be able to go out for fresh air in public areas at designated times every day.

The prisoners, who had endured for several days, were now eager to fight, their eyes gleaming with malice.

"You all better behave yourselves. Why are you looking so fierce?"

The prison guards appeared, holding batons, and began shouting and cursing at the prisoners.

The prisoners ignored the shouts and curses, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

The prison guards, though verbally abusive, worked quickly, opening cell doors one by one and urging:

"Hurry up, everyone, go to the public area for some fresh air, and don't cause any trouble for us!"

The prisoners, like wild beasts released from their cages, glared fiercely and walked towards the public area with excited smiles on their faces.

At that moment, a strange scream, completely out of place with the atmosphere, filled everyone's ears.

"No, I don't want to leave my bed! Don't make me leave my room, it's my paradise!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a white-haired Rupert clung tightly to the cell door, his face full of resistance.

Chapter 166 No one can refuse Fury!

In the end, Qi Yan still left his paradise.

He sat in the prisoners' activity area with Hememel, silently watching Kafka mingle among the prisoners, gathering a group of them to play cards happily.

The prisoners were clearly distracted, their eyes constantly scanning the area, and they didn't even notice that Kafka was looking at their cards.

"I won again, three against one!"

Kafka played all his cards again and cheered excitedly.

The two prisoners facing her threw down their cards, looking slightly deflated:

"Why does Kafka always win? Let's stop playing. It's no fun losing all the time."

Kafka was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, clicked his tongue, and didn't insist on their request.

At this moment, a prison guard appeared and loudly reminded the prisoners that their exercise time was about to end.

Upon hearing this, the prisoners all stood up at the same time.

Kafka, watching their synchronized movements, asked curiously:

"Didn't we say it was about to end? Why is everyone in such a hurry to get up?"

“Hey, little girl, there’s going to be a good show,” one of the prisoners playing cards with Kafka laughed. “You’re new here, so don’t get involved this time. Go hide over there with your three companions.”

"I'm an adult!"

Kafka angrily defended himself before pressing for an explanation: "What's the show? Explain it to me first!"

The prisoner pointed to another area within the activity zone, a belligerent smile playing on his lips:

"See those guys in gray prison uniforms?"

They are the non-infected prisoners from Zone A, and they are about to engage in a group fight with us, the infected prisoners from Zone B.

This is a rare opportunity to openly and legitimately teach those non-infected people a lesson. Here, everyone is a prisoner; even if you beat them to death, it'll only result in a few days of solitary confinement.

Kafka looked down at his orange prison uniform and then understood why there were two different colors of prison uniforms in the activity area.

She got up and walked towards Qi Yan, not forgetting to continue asking:

"But the prison guards are right there watching, won't they stop it?"

"Prison guard?" The prisoner cracked his knuckles and sneered, "You'll understand once you observe carefully when the fight starts."

After finishing his warm-up, the prisoner walked directly towards the area where the prisoners in Sector A were located.

The atmosphere in the activity area immediately became tense. Two teams, one in gray and one in yellow, were clearly separated. There was no trash talk or verbal abuse. After organizing their teams, they immediately started fighting.

The cacophony of shouts and cries of battle made the area extremely chaotic.
