In fact, after hearing Lu Xiang's words about the possibility of war in District 17 in the future, Song Lan's heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.
What does war mean to an office worker?
This means that he is very likely to lose his job and live a homeless life from now on, just like the interpretation in those war-themed movies. Even if he barely managed to save his life in the war, he fled to a city with no one else, and the rest of his life would be Most of them are full of tragedy.
In a dark factory, with a meager salary, doing high-intensity work for more than ten hours a day, just thinking about it for a moment made Song Lan feel her scalp numb.
According to his research after arriving in 2166, it is absolutely an accident that he has such a leisurely job and can get a high salary. The vast majority of office workers in this era are living in dire straits.
Therefore, in order to prevent the plot in the movie from happening to her, Song Lan prepared some disguise props and a baseball bat just after twelve o'clock.
With Almon's help, he easily entered the monitoring center of the suburban prison.
Before setting off, he was ready to knock out the prison guards one by one with a stick.
Although he knows that it may be difficult for the prison guards who were knocked unconscious to understand what he did, this is indeed for the future of District 17. Knocking you out with a stick is actually for your own good.
But unexpectedly, the huge monitoring room was empty.
Not only the monitoring room, he also observed various areas in the prison through surveillance, but was surprised not to find any prison guards.
Not only that, there was also a strange atmosphere in the entire prison.
The felons were lying on the ground staggering in a posture that did not look like they fell asleep naturally, but fell into a coma for some reason.
The scene in the surveillance deepened the ominous premonition in his heart.
When he heard that the purpose of Perot and his group passing through the 17th District was to escort a felon, he felt that something was wrong. Escorting the prisoner from the 17th District back to the core area was a quite long journey. If it was up to him to do it, To carry out this mission, we will not stay in a border city like District 17 at all. Instead, we will transfer to a plane as soon as we arrive and fly directly to District 1 on the same day.
But what did Perot and others do?
The felons were escorted to a suburban prison, and he himself even left the prison and ran to the completely unrelated Viper's territory to play the role of a righteous man.
If dereliction of duty is a crime, then Song Lan feels that Perot should first try himself.
He sincerely suggested that Perot put himself in jail to calm down and reflect on his actions as a public official escorting felons after arriving in the 17th District.
Putting aside the possibility that there was something wrong with Perot's brain, assuming that he did this for a reason, Song Lan became more and more frightened when he thought about it.
Their approach was as if they were deliberately waiting for someone to rescue the prisoners they were escorting.
This made him wonder, was the person who posted prisoner information online as a "concerned citizen" really a prison guard at a suburban prison?
In Song Lan's view, escorting is a thankless act. The trial of felons can be carried out anywhere. Now in the information age, even if you are in the "outside world", you only need to film the process of trial and execution of prisoners, and then put it on the Extensive publicity on the Internet can also have an inspiring effect in fighting crime.
Unless the purpose of the trial is not to inspire but to start a war.
He couldn't figure out the reason for provoking the war, but this act of bringing serious criminals back to District 17 and then trying them in front of the people would undoubtedly trample the face of the forces behind the criminals on the ground.
Once the latter starts a war, no matter what the final direction of the war is, District 17 will definitely become cannon fodder first.
Song Lan doesn't want to become cannon fodder.
So he held the baseball bat in both hands and walked out of the monitoring center door in an angry manner.
For the sake of peace in District 17, from now on, he decides who will fight whom.
What made him rather regretful was that the prisoners in the prison were sleeping very soundly, or to be more precise, they fell into a deep coma, and the prison guards seemed to have all been sent home after Perot and others arrived. Song Lan Searching one cell after another, he finally approached an empty cell door and heard a voice coming from inside.
"I didn't expect to meet someone like you in District 17."
"You are the felon they mentioned. It's so hard to hear a hundred times..."
Song Lan's all-purpose opening statement came to an abrupt end because he quickly noticed that the prisoner in the cell had her whole face covered under a leather hood, and could not see her face clearly. The only thing that was identifiable was the hanging hood. The long silver hair on the hard bed.
The moonlight scattered on her body, this scene gave people infinite reverie.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of being forced to stop midway through his all-purpose opening statement, Song Lan changed the subject and said, "How did you get caught?"
He heard that in prison, this was the way stranger prisoners greeted each other.
In most prisons, the reason for imprisonment determines to some extent the prisoner's future status.
"Destroy human laboratories, liberate towns controlled by slaves, and attack convoys where the Coalition Government obtains supplies through plunder."
The worst-case scenario did happen.
Because these three crimes can actually be summed up as one thing - opposing the federal government. In this era, this is probably a crime a hundred times more serious than murder and arson. Those robbers who commit murder and arson in the "outside world" can enjoy endless They will be escorted back to the core area to face trial.
The identity of the criminal in front of him is probably far beyond what the criminals can measure.
No wonder the coalition government takes her so seriously.
"I've heard about you. You are what people call a 'caring citizen'. It would be a worthwhile trip to meet you before I leave."
Song Lan neither admitted nor denied. After learning the identity of the prisoner, the whole story finally became clear - the coalition government captured the rebel cadres alive in the "outside" special operations department, so they planned to She was escorted back to the core area for trial.
This has gone beyond the scope of fighting crime, but to suppress the arrogance of the resistance in recent years through this trial.
Song Lan had seen a lot of reports about the rebels when she went online before. The coalition government promoted them as thugs who committed crimes by burning, killing, and looting. They were more disgusting than criminals. However, the rebels were very powerful in the "outside world". It is the forces of the coalition government that the indigenous people have gathered together and openly opposed.
Of course, Song Lan has always maintained a neutral attitude towards this.
After all, in the media propaganda of the coalition government, even the Foster family represents justice.
"So, Mr. Concerned Citizen, what brings you to me?"
