Chapter 50: Seven Days in the Desert (Part 2)

Fang Zheng had a cold face, and Ana Shen also had a cold face, even colder than Fang Zheng's.

"You are the one who is crazy. My brother has always been the child of other people's families since he was a child. Everyone who sees him praises him. How come you are the only one who says he is crazy!"

Ana Shen stood up, rolled up his sleeves unconvinced, "If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about leaving!"

Fang Zheng snorted coldly. Seeing that Ana Shen was so protective of him, his attitude softened a lot. "Your friend has been here for just over a month, and he has almost shut down the station twice."

"The first time he shut down the main power lines in the base, and the second time he blew up the gunpowder depot. The brothers he tricked into doing this with him were killed or injured, and he was the only one who survived."

Looking at Ana Shen's incredulous expression, Fang Zheng tightened his fingers, clenching the beer can until it made a crackling sound, and said with emotion:

"That's right. Before entering this hellhole, we were all normal people. Who would have thought... Alas."

Fang Zheng calmed down again and drank by himself.

Shen Yan asked some common questions, including station layout, personnel allocation and time arrangement.

By the time he had finished asking all the questions, Fang Zheng was already drunk and dazed.

He fell to the ground, with empty bottles scattered around him.

Valen nudged Chen Yan with his shoulder imperceptibly, looked at Fang Zheng with murderous eyes, and made a throat-cutting gesture with his thumb on his neck.

He said in a hollow voice, "To silence him?"

Ana Shen pressed his hand down, patted it, and stood up.

“No need.” Shen Yan didn’t clean up the mess, and turned to ask Valen: “Are you tired?”

Valen shook his head.

Ana Shen smiled: “Then let’s finish everything today, let’s go.”

-

The base has a fixed number of leave quotas every month. The top 50 workers in terms of working hours will get a chance to leave the base and go to a nearby town to rest.

It was a very good opportunity to leave, but few people took the opportunity to leave, and not even many people fought for the chance to leave.

I came to this place because I had nowhere else to go. Even if I get out, I have no ties. I have no money and can't move. I can't buy anything when I go out.

Seeing other people living happily outside makes me want to die even more.

Even so, the base has arranged corresponding facilities, and people entering and leaving must punch in for verification.

Once someone is found leaving or breaking in without permission, the guards on site will go out and arrest them directly.

The base has a military nature, and the workers are unlikely to be exposed to top-level secrets. If they are caught, they will just be questioned casually, detained for a few days, and then given more labor, but there will be no more severe punishment.

Especially for laborers like Ana Shen who had just been bought into the factory, they wouldn’t even be locked up for too long.

There is no one patrolling at night, and in order to save resources, even the robots are in power-saving mode.

Ana Shen and Valen swaggered in and got a dune motorcycle, drove all the way from the garage to the gate of the station, and left with a very natural look.

There was a surveillance camera at the gate, and Ana Shen deliberately pressed her ears under the surveillance camera, pretending to have a headset, and whispered to the air: “Okay, I’ve got it, I’ll send it over right away.”

Valen was driving in the front, and Ana Shen was sitting in the back holding his waist. Hearing Ana Shen's movements, Valen wondered, "What did we get? Who are we sending it to?"

"Good stuff, you'll know later."

The car was going very fast and Valen had already driven some distance away, but the stationed guards also reacted quickly and caught up within three minutes after Shen Yan left the house.

Valen was being chased by a group of people from behind, and in the windy and sandy night, he said excitedly: "Xiaoyan, hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"

Ana Shen: “No, go slower.” After a pause, he continued: “When you are caught, just say that you were forced by me, and don’t say anything else.”

Valen's passion was extinguished by Shen Yan's words.

He didn't understand why, but he slowed down obediently.

Five minutes later, Ana Shen and Valen were arrested and sent to the resident prison interrogation area.

-

A beam of dazzling light suddenly hit Shen Yan's face.

Ana Shen closed his eyes.

In a small room of five square meters, there was a table used to control suspects. On the tabletop were things similar to handcuffs, and Shen Yan was handcuffed to them.

The table and the ground were welded together, and two red and blue wires snaked up from the corner of the table to the handcuffs.

The man sitting opposite Shen Yan yawned, his face full of resentment.

"Evan Shen, right? Tell me what force you are from and what you stole from us."

He placed the palm-sized button on the table, crossed his legs, looked at Ana Shen, and pressed it.

The electric current rushed into Shen Yan's body along the handcuffs.

The pain is sharp. Even when the current disappears, the strange feeling of soreness, numbness, itching and swelling still remains in the blood vessels and muscles.

Ana Shen suddenly curled up, trembling all over, and gritted his teeth to swallow back the sobs.

The man had no intention of torturing Ana Shen, he simply threatened and deterred her, trying to use this method to get the suspect to reveal the truth as soon as possible.

He was also annoyed by being called up in the middle of the night to work overtime.

Ana Shen took a deep breath, adjusted his expression to delay time, and said blankly and desperately: “Sir, I don’t know, as soon as I opened my eyes, um——”

The man pressed the button again and said impatiently: "Be honest, it's good for both you and me."

The button was connected to the wire, and this time he pressed it for a second longer than before.

Usually by this time, anyone who has a little common sense would cry and confess everything.

Ana Shen trembled for a while, and faint traces of blood vessels spread on his exposed skin. He leaned his forehead against the table to calm down for a while, and when he looked up again, his expression changed again.

Fear, unwillingness, and a bit of panic at the failure of the mission.

The man knew it was almost time as soon as he saw his expression, so he took out his terminal and started recording.

Shen Yan said sadly:

"My name is Pleasant Goat."

The man paused while typing and frowned at him, "What?"

Shen Yan: "Like is happy, and proud is Yang."

"Strange name." The man wrote the three words "Xi Yangyang" on the file, "Continue."

"Giving me this name is my parents' good wishes. They hope that as a member of the Xi family, I can contribute to the bright future of Yang Village."

The man interrupted him again. He didn't find the Sheep Village on the map. "Sheep Village? Which district or city is it in?"

Ana Shen: “It’s a small village under Lotus City in District 13. It was originally called Laya Village. Later, everyone started raising sheep, and slowly it began to be called Sheep Village.”

This time the man found the corresponding area and did not follow Ana Shen's slow train of thought. "There is also a base in District 13, why did you come to District 11? What information did you steal here? Who sent you here?"

"Grey Wolf!" Shen Yan was filled with righteous indignation, "Grey Wolf is to blame for all this! He was the one who told me there was a way to bring Beautiful Sheep back to life, and tricked me and Feiyangyang into coming to this place together!"

man:"……?"

The man pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly and stared at Ana Shen: “Do I look like a fool?”

The man realized that he had been deceived and pressed the button for a full three seconds this time.

Veins bulged on Ana Shen's forehead, a whimper-like moan rolled out of his throat, tears burst out uncontrollably, cold sweat wet the hair on his forehead, and strands of it stuck to his forehead.

Ana Shen’s consciousness was somewhat blurred by the electricity, and the man’s words seemed to come from the distant horizon.

"The intensity of the current is very high. Three seconds is the limit for a natural person like you. If you continue... Captain Frame, how did you get here?"

"I will interrogate this prisoner. You can rest now."

"this……"

"Any questions?"

“No problem!”

Ana Shen barely managed to open his eyelids, and in the world of double images, he saw the man opposite him saluted in a panic, then stood up and left.

His wrist loosened, Shen Yan raised his head and looked at Blaise who was looking down at him.

He smiled at Blaise, "I knew you would come."

Immediately, his eyes went dark and he fainted.

-

Shen Yan guessed that Blaise was made a leader by Ruan Zhixian.

At least his position in the garrison was enough to rescue him.

The reason is simple.

Since Ruan Zhixian was able to arrange Blaise to this place and also assigned someone to keep an eye on him, it meant that he had considerable authority in this base.

Shen Yan looked up some information on the way here, and finally confirmed that Ruan Zhixian was one of the capitals behind this station.

Blaise, who works as a laborer here, probably did not do those exaggerated actions and made things worse in order to escape.

But it was to exchange for the opportunity to talk with Ruan Zhixian and get information about him from him.

Whether Blaze achieved his goal was not within Shen Yan’s consideration.

What Shen Yan was concerned about was Blaise’s current position.

Fang Zheng didn't elaborate, we only knew that he was alive, so the possibility that he was still working as a laborer was very low.

He is an indispensable part of Ruan Zhixian's plan. In order to protect him, Ruan Zhixian should let Blaise get involved with him.

In order to train their children, some people let their children work at the bottom level of their own company under an assumed name. Only when the children get into trouble and are about to be punished will the parents jump out to rescue them.

The management is not stupid. In the future, they will definitely not let the children of leaders do hard work. They are more likely to put them in leisurely positions and provide them with good services, as long as they don't get into trouble.

Same with Blaise.

Shen Yan guessed that Blaze was in the management level, and the most leisurely position in the station was the emergency guard team.

Seeing that the interrogators from the escort team were in an unprofessional state, Ana Shen was more than half assured.

By delaying time, Blaise finally appeared.

Ana Shen stretched himself, reviewed the entire action in his mind, and solemnly warned himself that it would be better not to take such risks for the sake of high efficiency next time.

He knew some torture techniques, but it was his first day at the station, and he really hadn't stolen anything. One only had to check the surveillance footage to know that he was a psychopath who made things up.

He's just a psychopath, not a threat. This place is short of laborers, so they generally won't kill him casually.

He wasn't dead, he just felt pain.

The pain still remains in my muscles and joints.

Ana Shen got out of bed softly, holding onto the wall and slowly rubbing her way to the bathroom.

There are two sets of toiletries in the bathroom.

Ana Shen looked at the mirror. She was clean in the mirror, but her hair was a little messy. She didn't look like a refugee when she was just captured from the desert.

Blaze was always sweet.

Ana Shen curled the corners of her lips slightly, took the cup to brush her teeth, and when she was about to wash her face, she looked up as if she had realized something.

He stuck out his tongue in the mirror.

The number inside the circle changes.

Became a dangerous "1".
