272 The Eleventh Store

◎It made him proud.◎

0666 was puzzled: "You want to operate the sewing machine too?"

The sewing job is very unpopular among the prisoners. The machines are old and cumbersome to use, and they have to sit for a whole day.

Prisoners are usually locked up in the cells, and going out to work is like a break. Most of them like to go to the vegetable base because they can walk around.

Today is unusual. The old hands of the seventh dormitory, Del and Carney, took the initiative to request to be transferred to the sewing factory. Even Gus, the troublemaker, wants to operate the sewing machine.

Gus has been in the fifth dormitory for a few months and has caused a lot of trouble for the prison guards. If he didn't want to see the sequel of "The Count of Monte Cristo", he really didn't want to bow to 0666.

The book was also chosen very well. Gus suspected that the owner did it on purpose.

She couldn't have been unaware that Guandao was a prison. The protagonist of "The Count of Monte Cristo", Dantes, was arrested and imprisoned at a wedding banquet because of jealousy.

Dantes stayed in prison for fourteen years before regaining his freedom.

The identity and experience of this character are a natural fit for the prisoners on Guandao.

The first volume of the story is about Dantes regaining his freedom, stranded on a deserted island, and about to go looking for treasure. Gus simply couldn't let go of the story behind it. He was eager to know Dantes' adventures after he was free.

The sentences of prisoners on Guandao ranged from one hundred years to several hundred years, and some were even sentenced to mental death and could not regain their freedom.

They gained immortality by relying on mechanical bodies, but they also lost their most precious freedom.

Freedom is something that is like breathing when you have it, and no one realizes its importance.

Once you lose it, it is like a beast trapped in a cage, and you will be in constant fear.

Gus wanted to see how Dantes would live after escaping from the cage, as if he was looking at another self.

Facing the prison guard's slightly questioning question, Gus rarely kept his mouth shut and said honestly: "I'm a little tight on money recently."

0666 was a little surprised that it was for money.

However, they were willing to go to the sewing factory, and 0666 had no reason to refuse.

The sewing factory has strict control over the workmanship, and the clothes it makes are cheap and comfortable to wear, and they sell well on planets below Class B.

Del, Carney and Gus successfully obtained the prison guards' permission to temporarily transfer from the vegetable base to the sewing factory.

On the way to the sewing factory, Carney took the initiative to talk to Gus: "Which cell are you from?"

Gus was quite a loner and didn't like to talk to other prisoners. He was a little curious about the purpose of Del and Carney going to the sewing factory, so he replied: "The fifth cell."

Carney: "Del and I are both in the seventh cell. There was originally a pair of twin brothers, they were in solitary confinement and haven't come out yet."

The three of them talked back and forth, and it turned out that they all went to the sewing factory to buy new books.

Gus: "Who among you has the middle and lower volumes of The Count of Monte Cristo?"

Carney said sadly: "I shouldn't have taken the upper volume yesterday. I didn't sleep all night, and my mind was full of thoughts about what happened after he escaped."

Del: "He should have taken revenge after he escaped, right?"

Gus and Carney turned their heads to look at him.

Del said righteously: "If it were me, I would definitely go back for revenge."

Gus and Carney put their own thoughts into it and nodded.

Del said again: "But even if I know that the story might be like this later, I still want to read it."

Carney: "Me too."

...

There are many types of jobs in the Ninth District, and the sewing factory is an extremely unpopular place, but prisoners have no choice. There is a rotation schedule in each district, and no matter how unwilling they are, it will be their turn.

In the past eight days, the prisoners in the fifth district have been operating the sewing machines. When Del, Carney and Gus walked into the factory, they inevitably attracted a wave of attention.

The three said nothing and followed the prison guards to the machine in the corner and sat down. A robot pushed the cut cloth over.

The cloth basket was placed on the left, the sewing machine was in the middle, and there was a ready-made clothes basket on the right.

The prisoners took the cloth from the cloth basket, sewed it together and threw it into the ready-made clothes basket on the right.

At the end of the afternoon, a special prison guard came to inspect.

Only clothes with qualified workmanship can get wages.

Gus has been here several times, and he really hates sewing machines.

There are obviously machines with better performance. In order to torture the prisoners, the ninth district specially introduced this old-fashioned sewing machine. It is not effective to operate it, and the needles on it are slow and blunt, so it really requires patience.

Gus was still thinking that if he could make six qualified clothes in an hour, he could earn at least more than a thousand star coins a day, and he could buy a new book in more than two months... It was still despairing to think about it...

The machines on both sides suddenly started up, and the rumbling sound quickly shut down the machines of the prisoners in the fifth district.

Gus turned his head and saw Del, with a strong steel muscle, sitting in front of the sewing machine, stepping lightly on the pedal, with skillful hands, throwing a piece of clothing into the garment basket every thirty seconds on average.

Gus was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Del noticed his gaze and took the time to chat: "You just got here not long ago, right? I have been operating this machine for more than ten years, and I have memorized the patterns of the clothes. I can operate it with my eyes closed."

Gus os: Well, it makes him proud.

Carney on the right is even more outrageous. There is a face on the back of his mechanical body. A pair of black mechanical arms separated from his shoulders, stepping on two sewing machines one after the other. His hands move as fast as Del's, and his efficiency is twice as fast.

Del: "Carney's mechanical body is custom-made. It cost a lot of money. I can't envy it."

Gus: The Count of Monte Cristo is not lying to me. There are talents everywhere in the prison...

Less than an hour later, Del suddenly shouted to the prison guard: "My machine is broken."

The prison guard came over to check.

The good guy is smoking, how can it not break down?

Del urged from the side: "Please change another one as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry."

The prison guard cursed in his heart and turned around to find an empty seat.

Kani behind him suddenly said: "Jail Guard, my machine is broken too."

Jail Guard: "..."

...

Del and Carney's machines simply stopped working due to overheating. The guards moved the two to another position, but after a while, the new machine broke down again.

The two switched back and sat next to Gus for a while.

Gus felt very stressed being sandwiched between the two. He tried hard to control the strength of the mechanical arms and feet, trying to be like Del, but it was difficult.

...

During the break, Gus found a secluded place to read.

There was no way, he was a little addicted now, and could only pick up the content that he had read many times and read it again.

The stress accumulated by working on the sewing machine with Del and Carney also needed to be healed by books.

Gus was seeing something interesting when he heard footsteps coming from afar and a few prisoners were chatting not far away.

Gus recognized the voices of Del and Carney. They were talking to the prisoners in District 5 about the bookstore in District 8.

The prisoners in District 5 were quite honest. No one was curious enough to go to District 8 to take a look yesterday.

Gus listened to a few words and didn't know what Del and Carney were up to. Some prisoners in District 5 were instigated by them and seemed to be planning to go to the bookstore to cause trouble during the break.

After the break, Gus returned to the workshop. Del and Carney sat down on his left and right again.

Gus hesitated for a moment, but still asked directly.

Carney was a little shocked: "Didn't you want to cause trouble to the owner in the bookstore yesterday?"

Gus nodded and shook his head: "When I came out of the seventh district, my spirit was rioting, and I really wanted to kill someone. But when I walked into the bookstore and saw her, my mood inexplicably calmed down and I didn't do anything."

Del: "Fortunately, you didn't fight with the owner, otherwise we would have to buy three books when we went there."

Gus was still confused, and Carney laughed beside him.
