"Get out of here, you lowlife"
A prisoner pushed down another prisoner who was carrying things, resulting in a pile of finished products scattered from the boxes to the ground.
The knocked-down captives immediately put the finished products back into the box.
At this time, a staff member pointed at the captive who had just pushed someone down with a stun baton and scolded him, "Why did you push someone down? Pick up these things quickly."
"Humph, why should I help this inferior person?" said the prisoner who pushed the person in a proud tone.
"You're looking for a beating!" When the staff member was about to hit him with a stick, a strong hand grabbed the staff member's arm. The staff member turned around and saw that it was a red-haired prisoner who grabbed his arm.
Osmane said apologetically, "Sir, my child is still young and doesn't understand much. I hope you can forgive me. I will just help with these tasks. Please don't mind."
After Osmane finished products scattered all over the floor were immediately put back into the box. The staff took a look at them, snorted coldly and left the scene.
"Okay, the things have been packed. Hand them over to the post quickly." Osmane patted the shoulder of the prisoner in front of him.
"Yes, sir."
The prisoner who pushed the other prisoner watched the prisoner holding the box leave the scene, and protested to Osmane with some dissatisfaction: "Uncle Osmane, why are you so nice to these inferior people? No matter what, we new humans are nobler than these ordinary humans."
"Hey, Ge Man, we are prisoners now, why should we care who is more noble? After all, we are all compatriots with the same national ID card, why do we have to make such a distinction?"
"Uncle, no matter what they say, they are all ordinary humans and should serve us new humans. I can sit and eat with the adjusters, but I just can't accept these ordinary humans sitting and eating with me. I feel that this is an insult to me."
"You..." Osmane really didn't know how to say him. There were many new humans in the Dion Empire who had the same mentality as Geman.
A female voice came from not far away, "You think it's an insult to you for ordinary humans to sit and eat with you. Then the detention center you are in now is still managed by a bunch of ordinary humans. Isn't that even more insulting to you? Why don't you feel so ashamed that you want to die?"
Nadezhda was holding a large bamboo basket full of clothes in both hands, and behind her were several female captives, who were also holding large bamboo baskets full of clothes.
After being ridiculed by Nadezhda, Geman blushed and left the scene in shame.
Osmany nodded to Nadezhda and left the scene.
Osmane has been in this detention center for a week. He found that the treatment of prisoners here is much better than that of the Dion Army.
Dion's army forced the prisoners to work for more than 14 hours, and the food was not good either. They only had white rice with some salt, pickled vegetables and tofu, and the better ones also had some meat scraps.
The food here is at least the same as when he first arrived.
Moreover, you will not be treated differently here just because you are a new human adjuster or an ordinary human (Note: some detention centers will make the distinction, while some will not, it depends on how the person in charge decides). Here, at most, your military rank is higher, so they will let you live better. In fact, the main purpose is to let these captured senior officers control their former subordinates.
…
"Overtime is over. Put down your work and bring your points necklace to the counter to record your points. You have one hour to decide whether to redeem your points for some items."
If Osmane recorded it at the counter, the score was also checked and the total score was 1224 points.
Osmane went to check the menu at the exchange counter to see what items could be exchanged.
Osmane used 800 points to exchange for two novels, a large bag of tea bags, several bags of potato chips, a kettle, a thermos cup and a cigarette box, and then used another 200 points to exchange for improved meals for a week.
"Come, check and see if there is anything wrong?" The staff at the exchange counter placed a large bag of items in front of the counter and handed it to Osmane.
After checking it, Osmane confirmed that it was correct and said, "No, thank you."
Afterwards, I saw Nadezhda also exchanging items and greeted her.
Nadezhda saw Osmane holding a cigarette box in the morning and asked: "Osmane, you don't smoke, why did you exchange cigarettes?"
"The boy you scolded earlier got into trouble again not long ago. He was dragged into the punishment room and beaten. I have to go there and ask to release him."
"You, I don't know what to say to you sometimes. Even though he was once the child of our comrade who sacrificed his life, you can't keep helping him like this, otherwise you're harming him."
"After all, he is the child of our old comrade. Besides, his father saved our lives. I can't just watch him suffer so much and turn a blind eye."
"Forget it. I don't want to interfere with your decision. I have to say that you have to teach that kid a lesson. Otherwise, it will kill him."
Nadezhda looked at Osmane's back as he left. The female subordinate behind her joked, "Captain, you and Osmane are a good match for me and my sisters sometimes."
Nadezhda blushed and turned to explain: "What nonsense! He and I have only been comrades-in-arms for many years. We only have friendship."
As a result, several of her female subordinates gave her the middle finger, and another one laughed and said, "You two are more than comrades-in-arms. In fact, you are in an ambiguous relationship that is more than friends but less than lovers."
Nadezhda blushed and left the scene immediately, while her female subordinates all laughed.
…
Osmane came to a punishment room, and the staff in front stopped him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Sir, the child is ignorant and should be punished, but the punishment has been enough. I hope you can show mercy and stop making things difficult for the child. This is a small gift, I hope you can accept it." Osmane humbly took out a cigarette box and pushed it in front of the worker.
The staff member looked at the cigarette box in Osmane's hand and glanced at his other colleagues.
The other colleagues nodded and shook their heads.
"Snow Leopard brand cigarettes, the mint taste is quite good. Okay, take your man away. If he causes trouble again, I won't let him go just by smoking a cigarette."
"Yes, yes, I will advise him more in the future."
"Go ahead."
Osmane walked into a punishment room. Geman had a bruised face and nose, and his whole body was covered with bruises. Osmane quickly carried Geman on his back and left the scene.
Afterwards, they came to the lounge and Osmane put Geman on a chair.
“Uncle Osmane, I am a burden to you.”
"Don't say anything. Go to bed early. I'll get you some medicine."
Suddenly, "Hmph, you still know that you are a burden." Nadezhda, with an angry look on her face, put a bottle of ointment next to Geman and slapped Geman in the face.
"Geman, listen to me carefully. This is not the Dion Empire. Not to mention me, Osmane can't protect you like before. Now we are all prisoners. Although your father risked his life to save Osmane and me, you can't squander this great favor. You use it once, and it's gone. You are already in your twenties, so grow up. This is not the Dion Empire. You can't bully ordinary humans just because you are a new human. You will be punished for causing trouble here. We can help you for a while, but we can't help you forever." Although Nadezhda was cursing Geman, she reached out and pulled up Geman's clothes and applied medicine for him.
Ge Man's father has always been her savior, and Ge Man is also the child who was raised by her and many of her comrades. She always treats Ge Man as her own child.
Today, she punished Ge Man because she loved Ge Man so much and criticized her too harshly. Ge Man's self-righteous and immature mentality caused her to be beaten today.
Nadezhda is very disappointed with Geman's childishness.
Osmane watched everything and he understood Nadezhda's good intentions. This was because she cared for Geman, which was why she was angry and hit him.
