The First Order

Chapter 800: Rescue!

As the secret prison was located underground, no sunlight could reach the inside throughout the day. The inmates in the prison only had dim incandescent white lights to look at every day. Some who had been locked up in here for over 10 years now looked extremely pale, and their bodies had also become frail.

In normal prisons, there would be recreation time for the inmates to relax every day. They were even allowed to play basketball, table tennis, and read books or newspapers.

But it was different here. First of all, prisoners were prohibited from coming into contact with any forms of paper media. That was because the prisoners who were detained here were a little special. They could have people on the outside using newspapers, books, and the like to transmit information to them.

The people locked up here were intelligence personnel such as Wang Yun and the Great Hoodwinker.

The secret prison was originally a branch under the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency, also known as the 4th Military Intelligence Division. But later, it split away due to the unique nature of the secret prison.

Of course, the warden was still under the jurisdiction of the intelligence agency’s director. But the staffing and progression here had established an independent system of its own.

For example, Wang Yun, who had been active in the intelligence agency for such a long time, had only worked in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions but had never been posted to the secret prison before.

Besides, the staff in the secret prison would not be posted to work in the other branches either.

At this moment, the prisoners were collecting and dining in the secret prison’s chow hall under the watchful eyes of the prison guards.

Wang Yun was carrying a stainless steel tray as he walked quietly among the group of prisoners. A young man in front of him turned around and said with a laugh, “Director Wang, I heard someone say yesterday that you’ve joined us on the inside. The two of us were destined to meet.”

Wang Yun looked at him expressionlessly. “Who are you?”

“Director Wang has such an excellent memory, so how can you possibly not remember me?” The young man laughed and said, “You were even the one who personally put me in here two years ago. Have you forgotten?”

“If I act like I don’t know you, you should also pretend not to know me.” Wang Yun sighed. “Since we’re in here together, why do you have to make things difficult for yourself, huh? Cai Wensheng?”

Just as the other party had said, with that memory of his, how could Wang Yun possibly forget those who he had personally put in prison? It was just that he was extremely annoyed right now and could not be bothered to deal with someone like him.

Cai Wensheng and his buddies looked at one another and laughed. “Director Wang is still as arrogant as ever even though he’s been imprisoned. It looks like we’re gonna have some fun together in the future.”

Wang Yun suddenly realized something. “Oh, I remember now. I wasn’t personally involved in your arrests back then, so you guys don’t know that I’m a superhuman!”

Cai Wensheng’s expression changed at the words. He really did not know about this. Otherwise, he would not have provoked Wang Yun for no good reason.

Three superhumans were being held in this secret prison, and they were basically the most notorious inmates in the prison.

The emergence of supernatural beings not only changed the situation of the outside world, but it also affected the social structure within prisons. Here, supernatural beings were natural bullies who normal people would not want to mess with.

In any case, the people who came in knew they definitely couldn’t get out of here for the rest of their lives, so any conflicts would be dealt with even more ruthlessly when they happened.

Furthermore, Cai Wensheng heard from the prison guards that the Kong Consortium intended to sacrifice Wang Yun as an offering to bless their war efforts. Even if Wang Yun were to kill a handful of people in the secret prison now, no one would care to stop him.

Cai Wensheng paled. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Wang Yun give a wave of his hand in frustration and say, “Hurry up and get lost. I can’t be bothered with trash like you people right now.”

After that, the prisoners who were lining up for food in front of Wang Yun quietly opened up a path for him. After Wang Yun got his food, he sat down at a table and looked around. Quite a lot of people in this prison really were put in here by him.

But as he was thinking, someone placed a meal tray down across him before sitting down to eat in a carefree manner.

Wang Yun’s expression darkened when he saw the Great Hoodwinker sitting opposite him.

However, he did not say anything and just waited.

After Cai Wensheng collected his food, he looked for an empty table with lingering fear in his heart. When he walked past a prisoner, Wang Yun’s pupils turned silver-gray, and a ball of air suddenly gathered at Cai Wensheng’s feet, tripping him over.

Cai Wensheng fell to the ground, and his full meal tray scattered all over the floor. He turned around and looked at the inmate who had just walked past him. “How dare you trip me?”

The man, who was pent up with anger towards Wang Yun, could no longer tolerate it any longer in the face of a normal inmate. He immediately got up to beat the guy up with his buddies.

An uproar broke out in the chow hall. The spectating prisoners started banging on the tables as though they wanted the two groups of people to fight even more ferociously.

It wasn’t until this moment that Wang Yun turned his head to the Great Hoodwinker with his teeth clenched and said, “Do you know you’re still being watched since you’ve just come in? If you come and look for me with so many prison guards watching you closely, we’ll both get interrogated and tortured later!”

While talking, Wang Yun drew away most of the air around them to create a near-vacuum.

The vacuum enveloped the two of them like a shield, and their conversation could not be heard unless someone went up close to them to listen.

The Great Hoodwinker took a sip of the seaweed and egg drop soup and said, “We’re getting out of here soon anyways, so what’s the point of caring about all that? Don’t worry, I’ll take you to the Prosperous Northwest after we finish eating this meal!”

Wang Yun calmed down a little at the words. He said, “Cover your mouth while speaking. I remember that the warden here is good at lip reading. That skill of his was recorded in the files from more than 10 years ago.”

The Great Hoodwinker covered his mouth and said, “With that memory of yours, it will be such a pity if you don’t join the Prosperous Northwest.”

Honestly, if Wang Yun were just a good-for-nothing, the Great Hoodwinker would not have gone all out to rescue him. If a person like him were to go to the Northwest, there would simply be no chance for spies from the other intelligence organizations to survive.

Wang Yun looked at the Great Hoodwinker and said, “Do you have a plan to escape from here?”

“Yeah,” the Great Hoodwinker took a bite of braised potatoes and said, “I already checked out the information about this place. From a structural point of view, although this place resembles a bank safe, there are two passageways where the gates are not that secure. The three-centimeter steel gates might be able to stop normal supernatural beings, but they can’t stop me. After we finish eating, I’ll charge out of here with you.”

Wang Yun frowned. “Wait a minute, did you know the gates of those two passageways were replaced with 15-centimeter ones last year? Furthermore, an additional gate has been added, and explosives have been planted between the two gates to prevent superhumans from escaping. If anyone tries to barge their way through the first gate, the sitting intelligence director will be alerted and press the detonator he’s holding, turning both of us into dead people in that enclosed passage.”

The Great Hoodwinker said in shock, “Such a thing exists?”

Wang Yun replied in annoyance, “Can you not speak to me in such a shocked tone!”

“Hahaha, this is bad news. I was too careless.” The Great Hoodwinker said in embarrassment, “Why didn’t you update the blueprint for the secret prison after the modifications were done?”

Wang Yun covered his head in despair. “Stop speaking. My emotions are very unstable right now. The back of my head hurts when I hear you talking....”
