They are trapped on this isolated island and have lost contact with the outside world.
Zhou Jinru noticed that Adela glanced towards him. He calmly moved over and stood behind the female worker.
"Do you know what happened?"
"But it can be speculated that Londinium is in the hinterland of Victoria and is basically unlikely to be attacked by hostile countries. The surrounding security forces are also very strong. This city cannot be captured in a short time. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Zhou Jinru hummed. Of course he knew that Adela's words could be summarized in a few words. The strongest fortresses are captured from within.
"That's really bad."
He couldn't help but curl his lips. He just said that a force of more than 3,000 people attacked the palace. As a result, martial law was really imposed in Londinium. He hoped it was just a riot caused by the parade.
But looking at Vole's attitude, it seems that it's not that simple.
"How many permanent troops are there in Vole Prison?"
Adela said seriously: "More than 500 fully armed soldiers are guarding here, and the prison guards have to be counted separately. The military camp is equipped with steam mechas, and the will of the Victoria monarch is the direction of the spears in their hands."
"marvelous."
Zhou Jinru shut his mouth. He didn't take these hired workers to heart at all. Just one steam mecha could wipe out all the hired workers present.
After the initial commotion, the employees gradually calmed down, and the guards made no further moves. No matter who they were, they were all waiting patiently. More employees thought that they might not be able to leave Vole prison today.
"The weather is cold, and once night falls, it will only get colder in Voler prison, which is surrounded by the Saiga River. We need warmth, protection from the cold, and food."
This is the voice of all employees.
The days in winter are very short. As the sun in the west gradually drops and the temperature becomes harsh, the employees who are already wearing thin work clothes have no time to rest. After being tired for a whole day, their endurance and will are at their weakest. when.
…
…
There is a fire burning in the office of the warden of Volre, and heat is constantly radiating from the bars. The warden, wearing only a shirt and a woolen sweater, is patiently looking at a document. The riot in Londinium is coming to an end. , the unemployed and workers who had gathered temporarily were dispersed. Originally, the matter was not so easy to solve. The commander-in-chief of the Londinium Guards dispatched the steam mecha. Everyone knew that flesh and blood could not fight against the steam mecha. In the end, they Choose to give up.
The warden twirled the pen, paused for a few seconds, and wrote in fancy fonts on the slightly yellowed paper:
"It is necessary to be careful of those Jacobins. They are not simple parties. If members of this party are captured, they can be sent to Fowler Prison, where they will tell everything honestly."
The warden took out an envelope from the drawer, carefully folded the paper and put it in, then sealed the letter. He placed the letter in the corner of his desk, and there was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Come in."
The warden adjusted the mirror frame, and the person who came in through the door was his secretary: "Sir, those hired workers hope to return to the city. If not, they think they should receive due treatment, food, drinking water and everything they need for the night. "
"There will be no more ferries passing by today, and their wishes are bound to come true. There are many places to rest in Vole prison. There are many empty cells in both ordinary and special prisons. If they are willing, I can arrange a single room."
"Will this..."
"Don't worry about them."
The warden picked up the letter on the corner of the table: "Send this letter out and deliver it to that gentleman. You must deliver it personally."
The secretary lowered his head, picked up the letter, turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
The warden sat at his desk and tapped the table with his fingers. The ferry will not come today. The supply reserves of Vole prison can be used for three days. If you include these hired workers, they will be used up in a day and a half at most. These People are trouble. It is better to send them out as soon as possible than to keep them in hand.
He seemed to remember something and rang the bell at the table. A clerk opened the door and came in: "Sir?"
"Contact Ms. Gavel."
"yes."
"Ask her first if she can get the boat."
"yes."
…
…
"For some reason, we look like trouble to the big guys."
Zhou Jinru looked at the agitated employees, because not only were their demands not met, the warden also threatened them with Vole prison.
Adela didn't have much worries like him: "I think the warden will find a way to drive us out of here in order to reduce trouble. After all, this is his territory, and we were crammed in by others. If If something goes wrong, he won’t have a good life.”
"What about our plan?"
someone from the action team asked.
At this point, there is no need to think about how to complete the mission. Do you want to use your flesh and blood to collide with the steam mecha?
"Maybe there's a chance."
The captain, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"None of us can get close to the tower, so what if we can get close? How can we deal with the guards inside?"
"There is still a chance."
Zhou Jinru remained silent and listened carefully to the side. The captain of the action team did not speak until now. It was obvious that he had done a very detailed investigation during this period. Unlike others in the team who wanted to give up, he was always thinking about it. Work hard on the mission.
"Still the same problem, how to solve the problem of steam mecha?"
"There is no need to deal with the steam mechas, just keep them at bay."
Then, they began to discuss what to do next, with Zhou Jinru listening on the sidelines, because the captain of the action team did not take him into consideration. In other words, he was an extra person.
"Zhou, you don't have to participate. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if we fail and are caught or killed, nothing will happen to you."
Zhou Jinru nodded. Perhaps in the eyes of the captain, he was an informant who was forced in to monitor them all.
"No, Zhou is qualified to participate. He is also a member of the organization. We should not exclude him!"
Adela's indignation did not arouse much resonance. In the eyes of the other six people, Zhou Jinru was an outsider.
"Dawson, you have to pay attention to your behavior. This operation is very secretive and dangerous. If there is an accident, all of us will die!"
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but take another look at Adela. From the last name spoken by the captain, he noticed that her full name might be Adela Dawson.
"Zhou, thank you for your kindness, please leave now."
"Wish ya'll good luck."
Zhou Jinru immediately moved and left without any hesitation.
