10.The.Rock (XIV)

Alcatraz, a private prison.

It was a place established by V.E to alleviate the ills of Charlemagne's prisons, such as poor management, huge costs, and difficult management, and to provide a distribution center for exiles for the development of overseas colonies.

In addition to squeezing the labor of prisoners for unpaid work, providing the Defence Forces with all kinds of "fresh materials" for practical use, and the traditional profit-making projects of the prisons that are "very yellow and violent". The planned Alcatraz prison will also provide high-end hotel or resort-style paid supervision services to the upper-class people, nouveau riche, and triad bosses who have been sentenced to prison. If they still have special needs, they can also arrange projects that are popular with the masses, such as "women's meat urinal", "fighting roses", "death fighting", "soap picking", etc.

Anyway, this is an overseas prison far away from Charlemagne's homeland, how lawless, the local people don't know anything about the situation here, even if a few words leak out, except for the families of the criminals, who will go back and worry about a group of criminals thousands of miles away?

The island has absolutely no place for words like human rights and equality, and it has been since before the decision to convert it into a prison.

"Originally, it was a training base for Stasi to train agents and killers, and in addition to the normal sewerage, water filtration, and ventilation ducts, a simulated training ground was built to simulate possible urban sewer environmental operations. Now it has been renovated and rebuilt, and it is completely an underground labyrinth. ”

Fingers trembled from time to time, and the "line of exploration" stretched in all directions sent a steady stream of information from the underground labyrinth.

Spider silk is not only a tool for hunting, but also a tool used by spiders to perceive the world. The movement of the air, the humidity, the flow of water, the footsteps on the ground, and even the subtle words can be felt by the delicate spider silk as long as you concentrate your attention.

But that must be the same as the constant attention, the will and the strength of the human being, who can meet the minimum standard required to control spider silk, is only one person in the tens of millions of people.

This girl named after the spider is exactly that kind of genius. Relying on this skill, he was able to pass various tests to avoid the fate of being eliminated, and he killed all the way to the present.

"For me, it's like a 'courtyard' where you don't get lost no matter how many times you go. So ......"

A light kick under your feet. The white spherical object bounced around the passage, and as it stopped, the little skulls stared at Roland and the spider with hollow eye sockets, as if questioning why they were disturbing the dead.

"I'm not going to fall down like a lost dog, no matter what it becomes. I want to live. ”

"These are ......"

"I didn't even get through the initial training. Dead guys here. ”

The materials used for physical modification are divided into two categories - Homunculus, which is modified from the embryonic stage. The other type is the human beings who have been obtained through various channels. Since the adult generation rate of the former has not been high, it is common practice to accumulate a large number of human tests and then apply it to Hermon Cruise survivors. The material in human experiments is especially in children.

After all, children are more malleable and cheaper, and poor families will even sell or abandon their children on their own, which is relatively more abundant.

The children who were bought had no family registration and no names, only a symbolic number. Before undergoing the various tests, they will first undergo a lot of rigorous training to select the materials that have a higher survival rate after being modified - in other words, they will not be able to survive this process, and they will not have to expect to get off the operating table alive.

"If you can't afford to die violently, there may be a grave with the inscription 'Happy unlucky eggs sleep here forever'. Those who can't even be transformed are directly abandoned here, left to rot to their bones, until they finally disappear. ”

The calm tone seems to be telling someone else's things.,It's obviously a creepy thing.,The girl doesn't even have a sad feeling.。

The unfortunate ones of happiness sleep here forever - indeed, the dead are happy, for whom the grave and worship are superfluous, and only the living need these things.

"Don't be sympathetic, I don't know what other people are like, I think it's better. ”

The girl who led the way changed her words, which made Roland stunned for a while.

"Huh?"

"In the countryside, girls can't be laborers, poor farmers sell baby girls to human traffickers, and then after a series of handovers, they stand out from the crowd and finally gain the ultimate power beyond the woman's shell - I am very satisfied with that. ”

The side face towards Roland reveals a real sense of satisfaction, and the once-powerless weak will never let go of the joy of being free from the power of the mundane.

(Is that happiness?)

Roland asked rhetorically in his heart.

He is also striving for power beyond the limits of what can be attained by the human race, the intelligent race, and even the ancient race, at least as strong as that person. For this, I have paid unimaginable hardships for ordinary people, but I have never felt that holding strength is happiness.

Is it because he hasn't reached the goals he has set and therefore doesn't have a sense of accomplishment, or is there a fundamental deviation between him and Spider's understanding of happiness?

"Shhh

Cold, with slender fingers against her lips, the spider stopped, extinguished the lights, and stared ahead with an undulating expression.

After more than ten seconds of inexplicable incomprehension of the situation, Roland also heard the sound of strokes that gradually became clearer, although the movement was very slight, but it was loud enough for those of them who had plenty of combat experience in the dark night.

Holding their breath, the two of them fell and lowered their bodies, indistinguishable from the silhouettes of the surrounding stones in the dark environment.

A piece of "wood" swam leisurely, and in the darkness, the yellow eyeballs with narrow pupils on the top of the head rotated flexibly, and the tail with serrated scales swayed from side to side, propelling the 10-meter-long giant body to glide through the water.

Saltwater crocodile.

Inhabiting tropical wetlands or estuaries near the sea, it is the king of reptiles at the top of the wetland food chain.

This crocodile has a ferocious temperament and has a large size that is difficult for freshwater crocodiles to achieve. Not only will it attack domestic animals, but even adults will be dragged into the water by its surprise attack, which will become a crocodile's dinner.

Usually the saltwater crocodile grows to 7 meters, which is already a giant crocodile, but the one in front of him is a full 10 meters, and the combination of volume, weight, and explosive power is almost comparable to the destructive power of dangerous species.

The king of the underground waterways leisurely patrolled his territory, and due to the lack of light, the predator's already poor eyesight deteriorated, but instead the sense of touch and hearing developed, relying on the detection of changes in water flow and air vibrations to compensate for the visual deficiencies.

The hidden Roland and the spider were almost indistinguishable from the rocks in the eyes of the giant crocodile, and after shaking their heads and tails for a while, the giant reptiles that "couldn't see" the intruders waged their tails in disappointment and began to search in other directions.

It wasn't until the sound of the stroke was out of the spider's range that the two got back up from the water.

"...... that?"

"The early prototype of organic biological weapons, but because it was difficult to control, the plan of mass production was abandoned. Later, it was thrown into the underground sewer and served as a watchdog. Prevent outsiders from invading, and also prevent trainees from leaving here, who don't know anything about this place, and whoever stupidly rushes in will become fodder for that guy. ”

Without any nervousness, he added a sentence at the end.

"The plan to take the hostages out of the sewers must be abandoned. ”

Even if it is a strengthened crocodile, it is nothing in the eyes of Spider and Roland, but it is a bit difficult to deal with this behemoth whose vitality and attack resistance have also been strengthened, without alarming the knights who are waiting on the ground.

"No...... Maybe Mr. Janitor can be of great help. ”

Staring at the direction in which the crocodile swam away, Roland grinned. (To be continued......)

PS: I was suddenly pulled on a blind date, and after talking about it, I found that the other party was still very good, and I didn't come back until now...... Bow down to all readers, I'm very sorry, I will make up for the double change tomorrow!
