Chapter 401
…
Their eyes met, and Mu Jiao turned her head away first. Jing Li rarely said anything this time, but he quickly drove his mecha back and followed a team of mechas out of the area.
After a long while, the mecha passed through the outpost and entered another area.
"Team Three has been ordered to escort the criminals sent to Area A today to the North District Prison."
"Please show us the transfer order code and approval documents."
Jing Li followed the mecha team and stayed in the designated area, then got off the mecha.
Mu Jiao then looked up at the world outside the porthole. Unlike the area full of mechas just now, there were not many mechas here, but there were quite a few people coming and going.
Among them, those wearing ragged black and white striped clothes, with hunched backs, hand and foot chains, and dull eyes should be criminals. These criminals were escorted to a designated place. Because of the chains on their hands and feet, it was very inconvenient for them to move, and some of them often fell while walking.
At this time, the escort would wave the whip in his hand at the fallen person with an expressionless face, then lift the person up and continue to give orders.
This was Mu Jiao's first time seeing interstellar criminals. She didn't expect it to be like this. Looking at the criminals whose skin was torn and flesh was exposed, Mu Jiao finally understood why their clothes were tattered, stained with dark red blood, and gray.
I seem to have read on the news that prisons are humane, and seeing is believing. But is this really how criminals are treated across the interstellar world? Severe, with corporal punishment. Or is it just like that here? Mu Jiao doesn't know, but since they're criminals, they probably deserve it.
Mu Jiao observed for a while and didn't want to watch the fighting scene anymore, so she shifted her attention to Jing Li who was standing below.
Mu Jiao saw him standing calmly among the group. He was clearly wearing a mask and had no memory of his real self, but he didn't show the slightest hint of guilt. His expression was calm, as if he were a real person. He even occasionally chatted with a few of his "teammates," but it was unclear what they were talking about.
Just as Mu Jiao was lamenting the extraordinary mental quality of Psychopath No. 2, she saw a group of escorted criminals, about twenty people in total, walking towards them.
The leader who was escorting this group of criminals here was a middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure. Jing Li raised his head and glanced at him without leaving any trace.
The middle-aged man was very outgoing and enthusiastically started talking to the squad leader as soon as they met. The squad leader was also very cheerful and talkative, and while the criminals were inspecting the loading truck, the two of them became familiar with each other.
Soon, the criminals were "packed up". Before leaving, the middle-aged man winked at the team leader and said to him in a voice he thought was low:
"Dude, I can tell from the first glance that you were sent here on short notice, right?"
"Yes, our team received this new mission shortly after returning. Honestly, Brother Liu, this is the first time our team has been responsible for escorting criminals to the five major prison areas! What's the matter, brother? Judging from your expression, is there something wrong with this trip?"
"Hey, you guys are so unlucky. You've been assigned to escort someone to the North District Prison. You have to be alert at all times on the road. The road to the North District Prison is the most difficult to walk on. The people you're escorting there are all desperate criminals with blood on their hands. They look listless now, but they're actually all ruthless and stunning.
Last time, a team was careless on the road and let two criminals escape, and they almost lost their lives. I am only reminding you because we can talk, please be careful of the road and the criminals.
