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

It is precisely because of this conjecture that he would be so careful to take the subway to a far place to verify some things, so as not to be found by people looking for clues in the future.

But then a series of changes followed, let Qingchen almost forget this guess.

Now it seems that his guess has finally come true.

There must be a lot of people crossing from the earth to this world. There are two prisons alone, not to mention the world outside the prison.

How many riders are there? Hundreds? Thousands?

What are they crossing for?

Qingchen is not sure.

"The new comer is a bit interesting this time. I'm afraid he's not a fool," someone said with a laugh, looking at the collapsed teenager. "I heard that he came in after seven years' imprisonment for tax evasion? I didn't cry when I was brought in yesterday. I only cry now. "

"It's not a fool who dares to offend tax collection agencies these days..."

Qingchen looked at the source of his voice. It was a young man with mechanical legs. When the other side saw him, he raised his mouth and said with a smile, "Hello, new comer, are you ready?"

All around the crowd burst into laughter, as if they were waiting to see a good play.

This place is so sci-fi and advanced, but the evil side of human beings seems to have not changed.

Qingchen frowns, but ignores. He looks back at the boy surrounded by drones.

I'm afraid only he knows that the reason why the other party didn't cry yesterday and didn't cry today is that the other party, like himself, just crossed from the "greenhouse" of the earth, and can't accept this reality.

It's not speculation, it's that he's met each other.

Qingchen, 17, is a sophomore at Los Angeles foreign language school.

And this collapsed teenager is a freshman.

Two people did not have any intersection, just celebrate dust never forget, as long as you see it is difficult to forget.

This makes Qingchen a little surprised. Is the location close before crossing, and the location close after crossing?

He can't be sure.

But Qingchen found one thing: all the people here speak Mandarin, but none of them speak dialect.

At this moment, the machine guards are rushing up the stairs, each step can cross five stairs, accompanied by a unique hydraulic transmission sound.

That teenager, already cry of not adult appearance.

Half of the people in this prison fortress are equipped with mechanical limbs. It's quite like meeting people from the earth in such a place surrounded by iron and steel beasts.

Ordinary people encounter "fellow countrymen" in strange places, they will have a sense of security.

But Qingchen didn't have this feeling. Looking at the boy who was on the verge of collapse, he realized that "fellow countrymen" may not be able to help you, but may become a drag.

Not everyone can keep calm in the face of this new mechanical civilization.

What he has to do now is to survive the first two days, and then go back to earth to understand why all this is.

Qingchen low-key quietly watching, don't know why, his mood at this moment is more calm.

Until then, all the prisoners were standing still.

He looked around the prison fort. Among the nine robots who had just rushed from the gate outside the prison area, three were left under martial law in the square downstairs. The rest went upstairs to take away the frightened teenager.

The square downstairs is very wide. It's the size of a football field.

The open square is divided into several areas: restaurant, fitness equipment, entertainment area, reading area, video area and so on

There is no partition between these areas, which is like a large free activity place. On the edge of the square, there are eight large steel gates.

Those gates are so big that they can allow armored vehicles to pass directly.

Suddenly, Qingchen was stunned. He saw that there were already three people who didn't know when they appeared at the dining table in the square downstairs.

A middle-aged man who looked like he was in his forties was sitting, and two other young men were smiling beside him. Then they looked up at the prisoners upstairs with great interest.

In front of the middle-aged man, there is an elephant chessboard, on which there is a remnant.

The most amazing thing is that beside the chessboard on the dining table, there is a cat dozing with claws. It is gray and has two tufts of pointed hair on its ears. It looks a bit like a lynx, but it is not.

Maine cat.

Can you keep a cat in prison?!

Qingchen was a little surprised. His eyes just now were attracted by "fellow townsmen", so that he didn't see when the three men and one cat came to the square.

At this time, I saw the middle-aged man focused on the chessboard, as if what happened upstairs had nothing to do with him.

What's more, what surprised Qingchen most is that even the robots in the square thought that these three people and one cat didn't exist.

The seriousness and tension of the upstairs and the ease and ease of the downstairs are in sharp contrast like two different worlds.

Among the three, two young men were wearing normal blue and white prison clothes, while the middle-aged man was wearing a white training suit.

In this gray and depressing environment, the white dust is extremely.

Qingchen thought to himself, is this the warden?

No, although the other party was wearing a training suit different from other prisoners, the training suit had a small black prison number embroidered on its chest.

This middle-aged man is also a prisoner in prison, just the most special one.

As if to feel his eyes, a young man beside the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and looked back at him with a smile.

Qingchen took it back immediately.

When the collapsed earth boy was taken away, the broadcast rang again in the prison Fort: "go to the restaurant in line."

As soon as the words fell, Qingchen saw all the prisoners turn right, and then line up in a long formation, along the stairs to the square.

Only then did Qing Chen have a chance to count all the prisoners: including him, 3102.

The prison fortress has seven floors in total. Prisoners on each floor form a team. Led by the prisoners at the front of the team, they go to the dining room orderly.

During this period, no one jumped in the queue, no one left the team, Qingchen felt that everyone here was running according to the established procedures, everything was "constrained".

This order doesn't end until everyone finishes cooking from the robot window.

It seems that you can move freely after cooking.

They live on the fifth floor, so when it's their turn to have dinner, the people on the first floor in front of them have finished their meal. Two burly prisoners pull a young man and go directly to the cell on the first floor nearest to the restaurant. There are still many people following them.

Someone explained: "pull him into the cell quickly, don't hurt him in the square, be careful of the machine, and the prison guard will intervene."

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool like Yang Jie," the prisoner said carelessly

Meanwhile, the young man struggled and yelled, "let me go!"

But just as he was about to be pulled into the cell, the voice of the young man had turned into a cry: "please spare me!"

However, no matter what he said, no one paid attention to his request. Instead, there were more noisy laughs.

Suddenly, the old man with mechanical eyes in front of him turned and said with a smile, "don't look around. It's your turn later."

Qingchen calmly looked at him. The old man suddenly felt that the young man's eyes seemed to be different. He didn't know why. He suddenly felt tight in his heart.

After dinner at the window, the formation was scattered.

Qingchen found that the three people close to him, like to directly control him!

He immediately accelerated the pace, and the other side also accelerated the pace, will he tightly surrounded in the middle!

The next moment, the picture in the prison fortress seems to have been carefully passed in Qingchen's mind.

On the dome, 18 machine guns, like iron beasts, stand by quietly, just like sleeping tigers.

72 drones are suspended in slots in the gray alloy ceiling, like sleeping wasps.

210 monitors rotate slowly, and three robots stand with guns in the square.

One by one, the prisoners received food from the window, and some complained that it was bad synthetic meat today.

There are people washing dishes beside the pool, and others washing dishes for others.

As more and more people finish eating in the square, it begins to become lively. Everyone shuttles back and forth. Some go to the fitness area, while others watch the ceremony.

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

The man was still looking at the chessboard seriously. No one was close to him five meters away. It was like a calm and hard reef on the sea level. All the rough water and boats had to give way.

All of a sudden, Qingchen takes the plate and speeds up to walk through the three people's circle towards the middle-aged man.

Looking at his direction, many people suddenly realize what this new comer wants.

Gradually, more and more people turned their eyes to him and whispered. The faces of prisoners seemed to be waiting to see his jokes.

There are many prison newlyweds who find middle-aged men abnormal, and there are also many prison newlyweds who want to rely on each other to get out of trouble. Qingchen has never been the only one.

But in fact, everyone failed.

However, Qingchen turns a deaf ear to the banter and continues to carry the plate through the crowd.

Before he got close to him, he was stopped by the young man beside the middle-aged man. He said with a smile, "new comer, I know what you're doing, but we won't help you."

The other party guessed the idea of Qingchen, and Qingchen turned his eyes to the young man.

The middle-aged people turn a deaf ear to all this happening around them, as if they haven't heard anything.

He looked at the middle-aged man seriously and said: "the former soldier enters one, I can solve the remnant."

The middle-aged man didn't look up until then. Then the square was suddenly quiet and the cat opened its eyes.
