Chapter 1116: Chapter 952: Miniature Garden_2

"What happens if the work cannot be completed on time?"

"For those prisoners who cannot be killed by conventional means, their subsequent life becomes extremely miserable."

"I think I understand."

Song Lan suddenly realized, "The prisoners in C Area are essentially the laborers for those in D Zone, working 23.5 hours a day to afford the prisoners in D Zone a more comfortable life!"

"Originally, D Zone didn’t exist; it is the result of the evolution of this area. At first, we set up a mechanism at the border between B Area and C Area. Once the prisoners from B Area successfully escaped, the way back would be completely sealed. But later, we found that we didn’t need to lift a finger; the prisoners from D Zone would do everything in their power to trap those from C Area there."

The mutant creatures and failing machinery are dangers artificially created by the prisoners in D Zone, and not only that, they also regularly try to propagate to the prisoners in B Area how beautiful the world outside the prison is, tricking more people into going to C Area.

Artificial intelligence originally called this devastated region the Wasteland, yet unexpectedly, prisoners carved out an independent area from it, treating it as a paradise.

Of course, all this was a result welcomed by them.

Mother greatly appreciated these "variables" that were outside of calculations and even secretly provided support for them.

"There are only two ways to leave C Area. One is to work in that region for three years. Every prisoner gets a chance every three years to apply for a transfer to another prison area, and we evaluate their performance over the three years. If the application is approved, they can be transferred to a higher-level prison area."

The navigator paused for a moment before continuing, "The other is a rule established by the prisoners in D Zone. If any C Area prisoner manages to kill a supervisor from D Zone, they can take their identity and move to live in D Zone."

Unnoticed, the three of them finally reached the end of this long corridor.

According to the navigator, this was the path every prisoner must take; doors along the corridor lead to different areas, and they disembark according to their own crimes.

Angle Saffire had already "gotten off" early.

Awaiting him was the wonderful life in D7 Zone, an honor granted only to a very few criminals.

The door at the end of the corridor, on the other hand, led to a space unknown to anyone.

"Please come in, Mother has been waiting for you."

The navigator bowed to the two of them and opened this final door for them.

The scene behind the door was all too familiar to Song Lan— it was unmistakably the apartment from their Seventeenth District, every detail a carbon copy, with a woman sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, back towards them, and three cups of instant coffee on the coffee table.

"How’s life for humans?"

As the woman began to speak, her ethereal voice reached straight into their minds.

"Not bad."

"I’ve always found humans to be an interesting species; they always create ’variables’ I can’t calculate."

The TV in the living room wasn’t showing a new release from Kolo Film Industry, but Mr. Benjamin Abel sweating profusely.

The woman switched the screen, and the image froze on the bewildered face of Angle.

The latter was in the midst of a lavish casino, obviously still unclear about the situation, as the splendid decoration was far from people’s inherent impression of a prison.

Song Lan realized something and asked, "Is this the friend you mentioned?"

The sovereign of mechanical will, the Mother revered by RT6 and the King, as well as the creator of consciousness interlinking.

RT6 referred to "Mother" as missing for a long time, with many siblings in the consciousness interlinking searching for Her whereabouts—never imagining She had always been in The First Region.

What he hadn’t expected even more, was that Lu Xiang actually knew such a high-profile person.

"How do you know each other?"

"It’s been some years. When you were preparing for the war, I wasn’t idle either... Well, saying that isn’t quite accurate."

Lu Xiang frowned; the truth was, she had never paused for a moment, the only idle one being Comrade Song Lan who would disappear without a trace for three days to fish and two days to dry the nets— even in the most critical moments, he could be found lying in her back garden, daydreaming in the flowers all day long.

The woman on the sofa turned, appraising Song Lan with her face devoid of features, "My children have been under your care. She’s right— you indeed came back."

This was undoubtedly an elusive scheme.

Before Song Lan, no one had managed to cross the bounds of time and space. If calculated by their methods, the success rate of this plan was 0%, theoretically having no chance of success whatsoever, and even the planner Lu Xiang could not provide a complete theory.

She chose to believe in intuition.

This was the first time Lu Xiang sat down with Song Lan to go into detail about her plan, albeit at a rather unusual time— nowadays, few people would discuss the details of their plan after it had been successfully completed.

Yet even so, Song Lan could still feel the immense risks contained within this plan.

The fall of a meteor on the Seventh District was an important link in the plan; being merely the dean of Morning Star wasn’t enough to completely cover up the event, especially when countless people witnessed it that night.
