After Legg left, in order to preserve his strength, Liu Hanyang curled up in a corner of the cell and slept hard. In the absence of food and water, sleep could relieve his hunger and maximize his survival time.
I don't know how long it took, but hunger still woke him up from a deep sleep. Looking around, there was still no one. The cell was eerily quiet, and the darkness and loneliness were maddening.
Suddenly, he vaguely noticed something under the iron fence that seemed to be glowing faintly. When he got closer, he saw that it was a porcelain plate. On the plate were rice, fried potatoes and meat, and beside it were placed Holding a bottle of water.
He didn't care too much. He picked up the plate and wolfed it down. After a gust of food, the food on the plate was swept away. Finally, he picked up the water bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
The hunger and thirst of the past two days were completely ended at this moment. It was as if the cracked land that had been dry for a long time was nourished by the spring rain. I felt full of strength from head to toe, as if I had been reborn.
After a full meal, he returned to the corner, looked at the dark passage, and thought of Zhou Yun again...
I wonder how she is doing now? Can you eat and drink like him?
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the dark passage. He instinctively straightened his body and clenched his fists tightly. He felt an inexplicable danger approaching him...
Unknown and uncertain things seem to be more frightening, especially in this dark and empty cell that is like a sky prison.
As the footsteps approached, his heart was in his throat, but when a humanoid robot appeared in the dim light before his eyes, his mood finally calmed down.
This humanoid robot is not a combat robot, nor does it carry any weapons. It is a service robot.
"I am the lawyer you hired, Mr. Liu." The robot said and extended its manipulator hand from outside the fence.
Liu Hanyang was very surprised. When was it the robot’s turn to act as a lawyer?
After not returning to Earth for more than 20 years, robots are so powerful that they can even be qualified to serve as lawyers?
But if you think about it in a blink of an eye, there are many provisions and cases in the law, and the robot can quickly extract the appropriate judicial interpretations and regulations from them, which may be more accurate.
But he still can't accept a robot acting as his defense lawyer. It doesn't have the complex emotions and cognition of humans, let alone warmth.
"Do you know my case?" Liu Hanyang asked.
"Of course I know. I have obtained the case file from the interrogator." The robot replied without thinking.
"Well... very good, very good... please come closer. There may be some inaccuracies in the file. I want to tell you the truth."
The robot smiled and leaned half of its body closer to the iron fence.
"Go deeper."
The robot leaned forward hard, even though its two metal arms had fully extended into the iron fence, it still pushed its body hard into the fence, hoping to squeeze it into pieces.
Liu Hanyang exerted his strength with both hands, and heard a "bang" sound. Its arms were twisted into twists, and then he quickly picked up the porcelain plate on the ground and inserted it into its neck.
Sparks immediately erupted from the robot's neck. Liu Hanyang did not give it a chance to breathe. He held its head with both hands, twisted and pulled it several times, and then used all his strength to lift it up. Under the splashing fire, , its head was pulled out from its neck.
The robot's body went limp and collapsed to the ground.
"Why do you want to kill me?" The robot with only its head left asked in Liu Hanyang's hands.
The sudden sound really startled him, and he lifted its head and dropped it hard to the ground.
"Why...you...want to kill me?"
Seeing that the robot was still talking, he raised his feet and stamped on it until it made no sound.
Its head has been stamped into disarray.
Only then did he recover from the panic. When he realized what he had done, he calmly put its head on the corner and said, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, he stretched out his arm and pulled the robot's body to the fence, pulled out a sawtooth steel bar from its body, then pressed it against an iron bar on the iron fence and started sawing hard.
In less than a cup of tea, the iron bar was sawed off, and he bent it with his bare hands. A gap big enough to accommodate his body appeared, and he ducked down and got out sideways.
The moment he escaped, his breathing seemed to become much easier.
That's the smell of freedom.
While running wildly in the deep passage, he kept calling Zhou Yun's name...
Only then did he see the layout of the place clearly. A long passage divided the place into two parts. Rows of cells were distributed along both sides of the passage, stretching nearly a hundred meters to both sides.
Suddenly, a gun butt stretched out from the darkness and hit Liu Hanyang on the head. He felt his eyes go dark, fell heavily to the ground, and passed out.
Two soldiers flashed out of the darkness, then dragged him backwards, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
A basin of cold water was poured on him, and he woke up like an electric shock. As the scene in front of him gradually became clearer, he saw two soldiers with live ammunition standing on his left and right sides. In front of him, a The man in a suit and tie was sitting at the table, looking at him with indifferent eyes.
He looked around and found that this was another room. Different from the prison cell, the surrounding walls were newer and showed no signs of mold. There was a thick curtain hanging on the front wall, and the light was slightly sufficient, but it was far away. Not to the point of being bright.
This appears to be an interrogation room.
"If you escape, you will miss me, hahaha..." The man in suit and leather shoes said with a faint smile. He tried his best to put on an intimate posture, as if he wanted to resolve the cold atmosphere in front of him.
"Of course you can't escape," he added.
"You...who are you?" Liu Hanyang asked, breathing heavily.
His head still ached from the heavy blow just now, and the coldness all over his body made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His physical strength dwindled quickly.
"I am the lawyer you hired with a high salary, Virun Dawson. Just call me Virun."
"I don't think I know you, and I don't have a lawyer."
"Don't we know each other now?" Wei Lun stood up and extended his hand like a gentleman, but he found that there was still a distance between him and Liu Hanyang, so he left the table and walked to his side, stretched out his hand again, and said, " I know you are in great need of a lawyer, and I am the person you are looking for. By the way, I have more than 10 years of experience in the industry, and my qualifications and experience can fully qualify me as a barrister."
"Barrister? Let me see your lawyer's license. I will know if you are a barrister."
"Uh... your name isn't important, is it? What's important is that if I represent you in your case, you will be given a lighter sentence or even be acquitted."
The two looked at each other. Weilun nodded meaningfully to Liu Hanyang, then shook his hand. Liu Hanyang stretched out his hand and shook it.
"Then I am the lawyer in charge of your case now?" Weilun asked proudly.
Liu Hanyang nodded, and Weilun quickly pulled away his hand, then returned to his seat with satisfaction.
Liu Hanyang glanced left and right at the two armed soldiers, then faced Weilun and said, "Mr. Lawyer, I hope our conversation can be conducted in a relaxed environment."
Velen looked at the two soldiers and seemed a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and nodded.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I need to make a call, give me three minutes."
After saying that, he strode towards the door. As a soldier opened the door, he quickly walked out and disappeared into the darkness.
As he walked out, Liu Hanyang glanced at the door secretly. He found that there was still the long passage outside, and he was still here, just in a different room.
Five minutes passed, and Wei Lun still hadn't come back. Liu Hanyang seemed to hear his angry voice vaguely.
Three minutes later, Weilun opened the door angrily and sat heavily on the chair. After glancing at the soldier, his eyes fell on Liu Hanyang.
"The soldiers can withdraw, but...but you have to be tied up." He spread his hands and said.
"Tie him up? Haha... Did I hear you correctly, barrister?"
"Yes! Handcuffs and leg cuffs, they say you are dangerous."
"Them? Who are they?" Liu Hanyang's face immediately became serious.
Velen realized that he had slipped his words and immediately corrected himself: "Earth Federation Army Special Military Court."
From Weilun's dazed eyes, Liu Hanyang realized that he was lying. The "they" in his mouth must be people who wanted to kill him and Zhou Yun. They were hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything. A small lawyer certainly couldn't About what.
"Okay." Liu Hanyang said, bowing and pretending to be relaxed, he continued, "Then let's talk about the Earth Federation."
"The Earth Federation seems to have nothing to do with your case, right?"
"Of course! According to the interrogator, since the Earth Federation Army's special military court finds me guilty, it is necessary for me to know the composition and law enforcement authority of this agency, especially the Earth Federation."
Weilun thought for a while and thought that what Liu Hanyang said was not unreasonable. However, his face also showed a look of surprise. In his opinion, Liu Hanyang, the technical commander-in-chief of the expedition fleet, actually failed to connect the Earth Federation that had been established for decades. I don’t even know, it’s really unbelievable.
"I wonder how you contact your authorities in the universe?" Velen murmured.
He curled his lips, cleared his throat and continued: "In order to deal with the further invasion and encroachment of the Earth and humans by the Tiberians, 12 years ago, all the countries on the Earth formed a unified political system - the Earth Federation. In order to efficiently reorganize and allocate existing resources and more quickly exercise administrative and military power to respond to the many crises faced by mankind, your long-distance fleet is affiliated to the Space Military Operations Directorate under the Federal Ministry of Military Affairs."
Liu Hanyang understood. The reason why the voyage fleet still didn't know that the earth's political system had changed was because 12 years ago, in the star field near Feida star, the voyage fleet was attacked by a force transmitted through the gate of time and space. The attack by the Tiberian fleet also included an indiscriminate attack by the electromagnetic vortex launched by Boltzmann's consciousness.
In order not to expose the interstellar coordinates, the expedition fleet chose electromagnetic silence. Since then, under the joint encirclement and suppression by the Tiberians and Boltzmann's consciousness, there has been no contact with the earth.
