214: Chapter 214 Happy Cooperation

The roar of the ship grew louder as it approached; watching this steel vessel, the people on the pier became restless.

Especially the prisoners in handcuffs and leg irons; they realized this wasn't a prison transfer as the guards had claimed, but were being taken to an unknown place.

Among them, one prisoner recognized Third-Party Technology. After seeing the logo on the ship, his face turned pale and he shouted, "It's a Third-Party Technology ship! I know this company—they want to sell us to them as experimental subjects!"

These words were like cold water poured into boiling oil, instantly causing an uproar among the prisoners!

"What? Human experimentation?!"

"Damn it! You're selling us to a lab?!"

"Let me go! I'm not going!"

"This is illegal, do you know that? It's illegal! Allah will not forgive you!"

Roars and curses instantly erupted from the four vehicles holding the prisoners. Shackles clattered, and some even slammed their bodies against the vehicles.

"Quiet! Everyone shut up!" In the midst of the guards, Captain Ahmed shouted a reprimand and drew his sidearm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!—

The gunshots caused the commotion from the group to subside instantly.

Ayuba and the other guards also struck the iron bars of the prison vans with their batons to make the group settle down.

The ship docked near the pier, and then a middle-aged man with a Central Continent face stepped off.

Ayuba didn't recognize him, but Captain Ahmed immediately went up to meet him, bowing his head slightly with a flattering tone, "Manager Li, the cargo has been delivered."

"Not bad. Good work."

Li Chengjian casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to the prison captain. "Hand them over to us, and then you can head back."

"Manager Li, it's no trouble at all. It's only right," Ahmed said, taking the cigarette with a sense of being overwhelmed by the favor. This man was a big shot.

At that moment, over a dozen fully armed personnel stepped off the ship. Their appearance caused the atmosphere on the scene to tense up instantly.

Facing this squad of unknown soldiers, Ayuba couldn't help but swallow nervously. He felt that any one of these men could take him down in a single encounter.

Fortunately, their target wasn't him; it was the prisoners in the vehicles.

Ahmed hurriedly said,

"Quick, open the gates and let them out."

The gates were opened, and the prisoners looked at each other, none willing to step down. Suddenly, a brutish-looking prisoner lunged forward, dragging his leg irons toward the door: "I'll kill you all!"

The moment he swung his handcuffs fiercely at a soldier, the man sidestepped and delivered a heavy punch to the back of the prisoner's knee. With a crisp sound of bone snapping, the prisoner screamed and collapsed to the ground.

The others watched in stunned silence. This soldier was terrifyingly strong, able to shatter a man's knee with a single punch.

Like a hawk catching chicks, these 20 high-security prisoners were rounded up and locked onto the ship.

After confirming everything was in order, Li Chengjian turned and handed a briefcase to Ahmed. Upon opening it, it was filled with colorful US dollars, approximately a million.

Ahmed's throat tightened. He took only one look before quickly snapping it shut. This money didn't belong to him; even the Warden could only take a portion. If he dared to get greedy, he wouldn't even last until the next day—he'd be at the bottom of the sea tonight.

"Manager Li, a pleasure doing business with you. The Warden asked me to send his regards."

"You're too kind..."

After a few more words of conversation,

As he was leaving, Li Chengjian pulled a thick envelope from his coat. "Here's a little extra. Take it and split it with your brothers."

"Manager Li, how could we?" Ahmed was overjoyed. Though he demurred verbally, his hands had already honestly accepted the thick envelope.

The solid feel against his fingertips made Ahmed's heart race. He quickly stuffed the envelope into his inner uniform pocket, his movements as practiced as if he had rehearsed them countless times.

"It's only right. The brothers have worked hard," Li Chengjian said, his gaze sweeping over Ayuba and the others standing nearby. With a chuckle, he didn't linger and returned to the ship to start the return voyage.

"Safe travels, Manager Li!"

The ship had already sailed dozens of meters away, yet Ahmed was still waving enthusiastically.

Beside him, Ayuba watched the ship drift further from the shore toward Ruang Island, which was now seen as a holy land in Molo Country. His heart felt lost.

So these prisoners were all being sent to Ruang Island. What did this company want with them? Ayuba recalled the prisoners' shouts about human experimentation, and he couldn't help but shudder.

What was this company most famous for? It was the medicines that had changed the world. As a biotechnology company, their purpose for wanting these prisoners was self-evident...

On the way back to the prison, unlike the noisy journey there with the high-security prisoners, the vehicle was exceptionally quiet.

The money in the envelope was quickly distributed. Holding the thick stack of bills, Ayuba felt they were burning hot. This wealth, stained with sin, made him question his job for the first time.

"You did well. This is extra for you," Ahmed said, pulling out a few bills and stuffing them into the young man's hand without allowing for refusal.

"Thank you, Captain."

From that day on, Ayuba knew that some secrets would haunt his life forever like a nightmare.

—

An hour later, the twenty high-security prisoners were transferred to the underground Black Watch Base, becoming B0-level personnel within the base. Then, they crossed the Schwarzschild Channel and arrived at Titan.

This group of high-security prisoners experienced the most Mew journey of their lives.

Inside the base, Lin Fang also received the news.

[Boss, the B0-level personnel we purchased from the Molo Government are in place. Professor Yodelion is arranging preliminary testing.]

"Mm."

Lin Fang nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "Xiao Hei, do you know? Last night I had a dream—a very bad dream."

"Since awakening my Force Field, I haven't dreamed in a long time."

[What did the Boss dream about?]

"I dreamed that I turned into stone..."

Lin Fang sighed. "In that dream, I was the last one to turn into stone. Before that, the company staff, my father, and everyone in the world had already turned into stone statues. The entire planet was dead and silent, devoid of life."

Xiao Hei replied with concern, [Is this the Boss's sixth sense?]

"Perhaps."

Lin Fang smiled, his gaze flicking imperceptibly to his wrist, where there was an ordinary-looking Black Watch.

This is the importance of diligence.

[The plunder points the Boss obtained...]

This subtle movement of the young man couldn't be hidden from Xiao Hei at all.

If these words were spoken by someone else, Lin Fang would certainly use every means to silence them and everyone involved, because it meant someone knew Lin Fang's greatest secret.

But if it was Xiao Hei, that was another matter.

"How is it on the official side?"

Lin Fang asked another question. There were many talented people there; perhaps they could find a way to resolve this crisis.

[They have already been notified.]
