There were six or seven soldiers at the checkpoint. They were packing their things and yawning all the while. It was clear that the 24-hour shifts were taking a toll on them.
Lu Yuan quickly jogged towards them.
Soldiers in the distance heard a noise coming from the darkness and shone their flashlights toward the source of the sound.
A ragged man with a backpack was waving in their direction.
The registrar, whose belongings were already packed, showed a hint of impatience.
"What's going on? Why do they insist on coming over when we're about to leave work? Let's just leave it at that and let him go home by himself."
One of them shook his head.
"Forget it, they went to all this trouble to let him go over just to see what this person looks like. He should be an Earthling. We're all Earthlings, why should we help the aliens?"
Upon hearing the prosecutor captain's words, the soldier immediately shut his mouth and stopped uttering a sound.
Only after Lu Yuan arrived did the soldiers all turn their gazes toward him.
At this moment, a look of helplessness appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
He secretly regretted not arriving sooner, and now he was at this exact moment.
If I had known, I would have hidden in the dimensional space for one night and come back early the next morning, following the crowd. Maybe that would have been safer.
Now, six or seven soldiers are watching him. If he shows even the slightest problem, they might find out that he came from prison.
Since Lu Yuan's appearance cannot be changed, his photos and various information have probably spread throughout the entire continent.
This is the prison's jurisdiction; you'll only leave the prison's jurisdiction after you pass the checkpoint.
Here, the soldiers generally took him, Prisoner Zero, very seriously.
After all, Lu Yuan had led a camp of over seven million people, and such a powerful force made these aliens take him extremely seriously.
The inspectors took out their registration files and computers from their backpacks again, plugged them in, and turned them back on.
Lu Yuan stood there and respectfully placed the documents in his hand on the table.
One of the tall men picked up the identification documents from the table.
After shining a flashlight on it and examining it carefully, he then shone the flashlight on Lu Yuan.
"Your name is Lin Hao?"
Lu Yuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, my name is Lin Hao. I'm so sorry, officers, I was delayed a bit on the way!"
"How come we've never heard of you before? The notice says you're a maintenance worker in the prison. We know what a maintenance worker is; there are more than thirty people in their team, but we don't think we've ever seen you before."
The other person was examining Lu Yuan's photo on his ID while simultaneously scrutinizing Lu Yuan, seemingly trying to find some problem with the ID.
Lu Yuan quickly explained, "Well, Old Zhang got sick, so the prison needed a temporary repairman, so I came from outside. Now that I've finished the work, Old Zhang has gone back, and I'm getting ready to go home!"
After the other person said "oh" and was about to close the document, a team member next to him suddenly reached out his hand.
"Wait a minute, bring me your ID so I can take a look!"
At that moment, Lu Yuan felt that his back was already wet.
He gritted his teeth and tried to calm himself down.
After passing the checkpoint, I truly became a free man.
Until he leaves the checkpoint, his identity will always be that of a prisoner.
So as long as the other party nods and you step out of this place, it means that you have completely escaped prison life.
I took a deep breath; the other person didn't seem to care.
After the person sitting in the chair turned on the computer, he picked up Lu Yuan's identification documents.
After glancing at it briefly with the flashlight, he nodded slightly, seemingly finding no problems with the surface of the document.
Then he took out a card reader, and connected the same thing to the computer.
After a series of beeps, a blue light emanated from the card reader.
The other party then planned to return Lu Yuan's documents.
But just then, the man who had just finished checking the documents snatched them back: "Alright, it's getting late, there shouldn't be any problems, let's go, let's go, it'll take forever to figure this out!"
After saying that, he tossed the documents directly to Lu Yuan.
The man who was about to place Lu Yuan's ID on the card reader for inspection paused for a moment.
He looked up at the other person and said, "I finally managed to turn on the computer, what are you doing?"
"Hey, why are you checking so carefully? It's almost closing time, how could there be any escapees? Look at this guy dressed like that, how could he look like someone who's escaped from prison? Escapees always have prison clothes on them, look at him, there's nothing on him. Alright, let's go, it's getting late!"
The other person reluctantly put the computer away again, muttering something that seemed rather unhappy.
The man who had handed the documents to Lu Yuan earlier also breathed a sigh of relief.
His eyes couldn't help but linger on Lu Yuan for a moment. After a brief eye contact, Lu Yuan gently nodded at him.
However, the other person immediately looked away and continued helping the other person pack their things as if nothing had happened.
After he finished packing, he looked at Lu Yuan.
"What are you waiting for? If you don't leave, we're closing down!"
Lu Yuan hurriedly took the documents and bowed to the other party.
Then he waved to the crowd and dashed through the checkpoint.
Seeing Lu Yuan's state, the prosecutors all showed a hint of doubt.
One of the prosecutors seemed to remember something, scratched his head, and was about to speak.
Then, the man who had been smiling earlier suddenly grabbed them and pulled them over.
"Alright, what are you all thinking about! Drive over to my place in a bit. I just got a piece of fresh wild boar meat. How about we drink until we drop tonight? It's on me, isn't that generous of me?"
Upon hearing that there was wild boar meat, the inspectors, who were originally planning to say something, completely forgot about the prisoners and such.
After putting all those things to the back of my mind, all I could think about now was to quickly finish packing and go eat pork, which is quite rare.
So the group quickly packed their things and got into the car.
He locked the gate, started the car, and drove towards the prison.
