False Court

Chapter 936 Testing the Waters

This exoskeleton armor can greatly enhance the user's operational capabilities and is very agile. The only flaw is that it doesn't have any defensive weapons.

When the prisoners saw these exoskeletons, their first reaction wasn't relief, but greater fear. They knew that they usually weren't given equipment for their tasks, but today they were willing to arm them to the teeth. What exactly did they want them to do?

If it weren't for the many weapons pointed at them and the explosive collars around their necks, they would have wanted to escape!

Unfortunately, they weren't allowed to question or refuse. The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, directly drove the killing machines forward, forcing all the prisoners present to put on the exoskeletons.

One by one, the prisoners embedded themselves in the exoskeletons and began to move. They moved around a little, and everything fit perfectly. There was not a hint of discomfort. They even had the illusion that the exoskeleton was part of themselves.

At this moment, a psionic wave orb floated in front of all the prisoners, and the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, spoke to them through it. "I am very honored to tell you that you are about to contribute to the great cause of the Star Ring City. You should feel extremely honored."

The prisoners were angry but dared not speak.

"This task is very simple. You will carry old-fashioned exposure cameras into the newly excavated ruins and take pictures of the inside. Those who do well will be greatly rewarded, but those who are lazy will be killed without mercy!"

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, briefly explained the mission and had the mechanical weapons distribute specially customized old-fashioned cameras to everyone.

A moment later, Warden Fazak drove over in a Generation V biological mecha, the Prison Suppressor, and said gruffly, "It's almost time to go!"

"Everyone, move out!"

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, didn't waste any more words.

Fazak led his subordinates and personally escorted all the prisoners into the depths of the ruins.

...

Su Mo sat on Devourer's shoulders, curiously observing the surrounding ruins.

Everywhere there were decaying metal wreckage structures, some viscous mixtures, and even some decaying corpses and fragments of monsters and prisoners.

Su Mo tried to ask An Jie.

"Isn't this collapsed ruin the old prison?"

"Yes."

An Jie didn't hide anything and replied directly.

"Then why is it so dangerous?"

Su Mo couldn't understand. Under normal circumstances, a prison shouldn't be so dangerous.

An Jie hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Su Mo, "This prison used to have a very high-level biochemical laboratory inside. Top-secret research was being conducted there. Later, for some unknown reason, there was a big explosion, so the resulting ruins are extremely dangerous."

"I see."

Su Mo immediately understood.

Then An Jie whispered to Su Mo, "That artificial intelligence, Prisoner, is unusually obsessed with exploring the ruins. So don't get involved if you don't have to, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

"Understood."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

After a long time, Su Mo and the others arrived at the depths of the ruins. A giant sinkhole with a diameter of about a thousand meters came into view.

Standing on the edge of the sinkhole and looking down, it was all gray and bottomless.

In the gray depths, one could occasionally see a faint dark red streamer flashing past, which seemed extremely strange.

The entire sinkhole was like the open mouth of a giant beast, and all the prisoners couldn't help but swallow.

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, controlled the psionic wave orb and said to all the prisoners, "Because there is strong radiation, pollution, and interference below, intelligent electronic equipment is prone to problems. All you can rely on is yourselves, and these gray gases are flammable to a certain extent, so you cannot use any booster jets and can only climb down."

When the prisoners heard the analysis of the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, they became agitated and instinctively resisted.

Unfortunately, the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, didn't waste any words with them, but simply announced, "The survey operation begins!"

The vigilant killing mechanical weapons raised their guns and pointed them at all the prisoners.

For a time, all the prisoners had no choice but to bite the bullet, squat down, and start climbing down the steel walls along the edge of the sinkhole.

It must be said that the auxiliary ability of the exoskeleton armor is still very outstanding.

At least most of the prisoners were able to climb down like geckos. Of course, there were also a few unlucky ones who didn't control themselves well and fell straight down.

Screams rang out.

The other prisoners climbing on the walls felt their hearts clench even tighter.

Although they didn't know what the situation was below, falling down would definitely mean death.

Su Mo shook his head slightly as he watched hundreds of prisoners being driven down. With this kind of usage, how many prisoners would be able to survive until their release?

Thinking of this, Su Mo curiously asked An Jie.

"In Infinite Deep Space Prison, has anyone ever served their full sentence and been released?"

"Except for those who have been pardoned, there hasn't been one yet. The main reason is that people who can get in here are basically sentenced to 100 years or more. Do you think anyone here can last that long?"

An Jie replied very realistically.

"I guess not."

Su Mo didn't say much.

At this moment, An Jie hesitated for a moment, and then asked Su Mo, "You don't seem like a bad person, why did you sink the Gidorah Planetary Fortress?"

"I didn't want to sink it. I had no choice."

Su Mo replied with a wry smile.

"What could possibly force you to sink the Gidorah Planetary Fortress? Were you threatened? That's unlikely. You could almost sink the Gidorah Planetary Fortress, who could threaten you?"

An Jie was also very puzzled.

"I did that to protect myself and save people. You know about the Cradle of Life being attacked by monsters, right?"

"I know, I heard it was very serious."

"It wasn't just serious, it was going to be destroyed. There were just too many monsters. I had no choice but to lead most of the monsters to the Gidorah Planetary Fortress. Who would have thought that the fortress would be so useless that it was almost sunk?"

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

"Awesome!"

After hearing this, An Jie's face twitched non-stop. This guy is really a talent. He didn't say much, just two words.

However, after An Jie understood the cause and effect, his impression of Su Mo improved a lot. At least it showed that he hadn't misjudged him, and that this guy wasn't too bad.

Time passed little by little.

In the blink of an eye, four hours passed, and not a single prisoner who had gone down had climbed back up.

The prison guards present became increasingly uneasy.

Warden Fazak said somewhat angrily, "Are these guys eating shit? Why hasn't anyone climbed back up yet?"

"Don't worry, the collars on their necks will force them to climb back up."

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, replied indifferently.

"I'm just afraid that none of them will climb back up and they'll all die down there."

Fazak replied irritably.
