Chapter 405
…
After passing through a deep tunnel and being transported down by the light ladder, Mu Jiao saw another tall gate in front of her. After entering the gate, there were several more large gates.
When the last door opened, the sudden light made Mu Jiao squint uncomfortably.
Although it was clearly the bottom floor of the prison, it was surprisingly well-lit, not at all dark. Mu Jiao entered and discovered a massive illumination device operating overhead. Made of light stone, it could simulate sunlight with near-perfect accuracy. Considering the sheer size of the device, it must have taken tens of thousands of light stones to create, making it incredibly expensive. With such a large investment, it's no wonder the depths of the underground were as bright as day.
"Listen, the number on your left wrist is your address. From now on, everyone just stay here. As for how long you can survive, I wish you all good luck." The leader in charge of the escort said a few words and left without looking back. The door was closed heavily from the inside out.
"Chiu--" The moment the door closed, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and cheers like a tide came from all directions. Mu Jiao was frightened and looked around quickly.
Many people appeared around them at some point. Some of them were standing on the ground like them, but most of them were leaning on the metal railings upstairs, staring at them. It was a multi-story cylindrical metal building.
Mu Jiao looked up and saw people everywhere. Looking at their prison uniforms, it was clear they were prisoners. Their faces were filled with excitement, and they looked at the "newcomers" with the same unfriendly, hungry eyes as those of hungry wolves.
These Mu Jiao could see that the new prisoners around them certainly understood as well. In such a strange environment, no one would be stupid enough to think that the cheers were celebrating the arrival of them.
After a brief burst of cheers, there was a dead silence. People on both sides were looking at each other without making any movement.
Mu Jiao observed that the number of people around them was obviously many times greater than theirs, yet at this moment they did not take any action, as if they were...waiting for something...
"Ha, it's been so long since I've sent anyone here, and this time I've sent so much. I'll have to share more this time~"
But before Mu Jiao could figure it out, she heard a lazy male voice coming from somewhere. Mu Jiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man with his hands on the fourth-floor railing, a wicked smile on his face, and around him was a large empty area.
"Blade Armor, you have quite a few people now. So, are you planning to kick all of us old guys out and take over all by yourself?!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Mu Jiao heard an old voice coming from the floor. Looking over, she saw five middle-aged and elderly men with beards of similar age walking out from the east side of their first floor and facing the young man on the fourth floor from a distance.
"Hehehe, it's a bit too early for you guys to say this. Don't be fooled by the large number of people. By that time, they will all be useless and no one will be spared. That would be hilarious." Another person spoke, but this time it was a gentle female voice. Mu Jiao looked in the direction of the voice. The person was on the fifth floor and could only see a vague and slender figure. As for the specific appearance, because of the position, Mu Jiao could not adjust the direction of her body at will, so she could not see clearly.
"Okay, I'll just wait patiently. I hope it won't be too disappointing."
