Chapter 111 The warden is being pursued by a top-tier prisoner? (7)
At four in the morning, Alpha Prison descended into chaos.
The sounds of prisoners cursing echoed from each cell. Those who were slow to react were knocked to the ground by the robot police and prepared to be dragged away.
They reacted by fighting with the robot police. Although they were somewhat skilled, they were no match for the robots' onslaught and were eventually knocked to the ground and dragged away.
On the fifth floor of Alpha Prison, Wei Xingtong was asleep when she heard the sound of banging on the door.
He quickly rolled out of bed, thankful that his clothes weren't too messy. He walked to the door, opened it, and found that it was a robot maintaining order in the prison.
He was somewhat stunned, and then the robot said:
"Number 1001, please assemble in the square immediately. Failure to cooperate will result in electric shock."
Gathering in the square? Hey, can you check the time? Whose prison lets out for exercise in the middle of the night?
Wei Xingtong was speechless, but he immediately became obedient when he saw the stun gun crackling in the other robot's hand.
Fortunately, he didn't have much to do, so he went with the robot.
When he arrived at the square, he found it to be a dense mass of prisoners, extremely noisy, even more so than the vegetable market where old ladies used to buy groceries on ancient Earth.
what is happening?
He was very puzzled. After finally squeezing his way to the front of a large group of people, he turned his eyes and saw his boss.
It took Wei Xingtong a lot of effort to get to Shen Wangchuan. Being in public, he didn't address him as "boss" or anything like that, but simply asked:
"Shen Wangchuan, do you know what's going on? Why is there such a commotion in the prison all of a sudden?"
Shen Wangchuan did not answer, but simply raised his chin.
Because they were standing very close to the front, not far from Xie Liuyan's booth.
Furthermore, with Xie Liuyan sitting in a chair drinking champagne, the target person stood out even more.
When Wei Xingtong looked over, the other person noticed him keenly and even smiled at him.
No, so all this commotion was caused by the new warden?
I thought prison life would become more interesting because of Xie Liuyan's arrival, but wow!
This isn't some fun entertainment; it's a living devil!
Wei Xingtong felt numb. Thinking of the arrogant words he had spoken in front of Shen Wangchuan just three days ago, he felt uneasy standing there.
Don’t ask, because my face hurts.
He abandoned his usual teasing manner in front of Shen Wangchuan and stood quietly beside him, waiting for the person on the stage to speak.
Shen Wangchuan had actually anticipated this. When he met Xie Liuyan, he vaguely sensed that Xie Liuyan seemed to care about something.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have had that momentary complicated expression when I saw him.
In just a few seconds, the other person put on a mask of pretense again, becoming someone whose thoughts were impossible to guess.
Even though the man left with such a dashing air, Shen Wangchuan felt that he seemed a little bothered, perhaps because the prison environment wasn't good.
Everywhere there is a state of disorder and chaos.
Even though he managed to subdue some hot-tempered and bloodthirsty people temporarily through force after arriving at the prison, that was all he could do.
In this prison, darkness is the norm, and no one can escape it.
Those caught in it can only watch helplessly as darkness erodes them, powerless to change it.
Or perhaps it was because of him, something Shen Wangchuan himself wasn't sure about.
He simply put one hand in his pocket, his gaze fixed on the young man on the stage, watching him shake the champagne in his hand before finally downing it in one gulp.
Despite the noisy environment, he seemed to hear a "thump," the sound of the young man's Adam's apple bobbing.
Under the light, the man's waist-length silver hair shone even brighter. Even while sitting, his posture remained upright, befitting a soldier.
The only difference is that the other person crosses their legs.
The pure black military trousers were without a single wrinkle, and their straight and slender legs could be vaguely outlined.
The black high-top boots lightly touched the air, captivating Shen Wangchuan's gaze.
When he looked up, Xie Liuyan's gaze met his directly.
Although he was a little surprised, he did not avoid the question. In the end, Xie Liuyan was the first to look away.
We've had enough champagne; it's time to get to work.
He stood up, and in an instant, a powerful burst of pheromones erupted, filling the entire square with the scent of fir trees.
The originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
Many people were bent over to resist the pressure of pheromones, and sweat even seeped from their foreheads.
Xie Liuyan's control over pheromones is so precise that it only makes the prisoners feel uncomfortable without provoking excessive resistance.
Under such pheromone pressure, only a very few people seemed unaffected.
He glanced around and found that it was just Shen Wangchuan, Wei Xingtong, and three other people not far away.
But none of that mattered; he casually picked up the military cap that was lying to the side and put it on.
When he first arrived a few days ago, he was wearing a pure white military uniform, a uniform that only high-ranking federal officers could wear.
Today, Xie Liuyan had completely changed his clothes. The black warden's uniform did not diminish his handsomeness; on the contrary, it accentuated his figure.
It perfectly showcases Xie Liuyan's tall stature and excellent proportions. The wheat ears on the shoulders of his military uniform soften his overly sharp jawline, adding a touch of gentleness.
Overall, in the eyes of the prisoners, the warden was even more insane than when he had first arrived at the prison a few days earlier.
Aside from Shen Wangchuan having the leisure to observe Xie Liuyan's changes, almost none of the prisoners present paid any attention; they were all busy fighting against the pheromones of the Mist Fir.
Even Wei Xingtong and a few others who belonged to the Dark Night Star Pirates were in the same situation; they only appeared to be able to stand firm on the surface, but in reality, they were also resisting.
Seeing that the audience had quieted down considerably, Xie Liuyan officially began his inauguration ceremony.
"Hello everyone, let me formally introduce myself again. I am Xie Liuyan, and I will be the warden of Alpha Prison in the future."
"I believe some of you already know my previous identity. As a federal soldier, I really like rules and order, and I have also prepared 108 prison rules for everyone. I will have the robot police distribute a copy to everyone later."
"If any violation of the rules occurs in the future, the robot will carry out the punishment as written above."
Having said that much, Xie Liuyan withdrew his pheromone suppression and continued with one last thing:
"And in order to improve everyone's living environment and conduct, starting today, everyone must come to the square for a morning run every day at six o'clock in the morning."
"The relevant facilities are ready. After breakfast, everyone can complete their tasks according to the assignment sheet posted on the wall. Only by completing the tasks can you earn the corresponding points."
"These points will be your source of income in the future; you will need points for everything from food and clothing to housing and transportation."
"I've said about all I need to say. Do you have any questions?"
He was relaxed and unaware that his words had an effect on the prisoners that was no less powerful than a space bomb.
What? So many rules? They didn't need to work at all before.
Soon someone stepped forward. The person had a fierce look on his face. Xie Liuyan looked at him and realized that it was not the person he had beaten up three days ago.
"Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to make these ridiculous rules? Don't think that just because you defeated Wang Liu you're qualified to be the warden of this prison. We don't recognize you at all!!"
The man's speech was not exactly refined, but it was very effective, and many prisoners echoed his dissent.
Xie Liuyan's smile vanished, his gaze turning cold as he stared at the man as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Sure, if you want to challenge me, you can come up now."
"I will tell you, in this prison—"
"I am the rule!"
