Twin Cities: Who says scientists can't be conquerors?

Chapter 39 Bang!

In front of the monitor, the long-haired, wavy-haired woman connected to the miniature camera on the "ship's wheel" and clearly saw the current situation in the fifth-floor ward of Stillwater Prison—

The fully armed Reef Squad not only wielded fierce weapons, but also possessed access cards that allowed them to freely open and close the cell gates.

They acted swiftly and skillfully, releasing all the dozens of prisoners from the fifth-floor cell block in less than five minutes and then herding them to other floors.

For a moment, apart from the footsteps of the Reef Squad, the entire fifth-floor prison area fell completely silent.

"This is it."

The man codenamed "Ship's Helm" walked to cell number 516 and showed the woman on the other side of the screen what was inside:

The walls were pitted and uneven, with many obvious marks from being punched.

On the simple table, there was a lunch tray used by all the prisoners, with some unfinished gruel still in it;

The bedding and pillows on the bed were piled up haphazardly. It was hard to tell whether this prisoner, number 516, was naturally slovenly or had left in a hurry...

"The Reef Squad was the last to open cell 516, but when they opened it, it was in this godforsaken state—completely empty!"

The more "ship's rudder" spoke, the more aggrieved he seemed, as if he was extremely worried that the woman would blame him.

He spread his hands, his tone full of confusion:

"Logically, this shouldn't be the case."

"Only an hour and a half has passed since you issued the order, but our Reef Team arrived here an hour ago!"

"result……"

He didn't say anything more.

Because he clearly caught the sound coming from the communicator—the woman clicked her tongue impatiently, and "Ship's Helm" instinctively fell silent.

After a while, the woman spoke again.

She didn't seem to care much about the so-called "bait," namely the prisoner in cell 516.

Instead, they brought up another matter out of the blue:

"Did you hear? Smith was 'punished' separately this time."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, "Boatman" didn't dare to respond immediately.

He knew who Smith was, who was "punishing" Smith, and why Smith had to be "punished"—as that person's henchman, Smith had failed to complete the plan, leaving Zaun still peaceful.

"Smith did a terrible job this time, completely disrupting the original plan, and the master is very angry about it."

Sure enough, the woman's explanation followed, exactly as "the ship's rudder" had predicted.

He hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask the woman why she brought up this unrelated matter at this time.

But in the end, he gave up.

The "punishment" from that lord was indeed terrible, but the woman who commanded him was an inescapable nightmare!

The disappearance of the "bait" had already terrified him, and he didn't want to needlessly provoke the other party...

Unfortunately, what you fear most is what happens.

The ship's rudder remained silent for a long time, seemingly providing the woman with a natural opportunity to vent her frustrations.

She abandoned her previous calm and roared almost hysterically, causing the communicator in "Ship's Helmsman's" ear to vibrate:

"So this is how you brainless idiots carry out missions?! A perfectly healthy person can just suddenly disappear without a trace!!"

"I personally approved the warrants for those three fish to enter Stillwater Prison. Do you want me to become a laughingstock like Smith?!"

"I'm sorry."

"I don't need an apology!!"

The woman gritted her teeth, and the sound of "the ship's rudder" sent shivers down her spine.

Only after the woman gradually calmed down did he dare to put the communicator, which he had just pulled away from, back to his ear.

"I'm warning you, helmsman, you'd better take what I'm about to say to heart."

The woman's voice lowered, but the ruthlessness within it only increased:

"I'm not a fool like Smith, and I certainly won't become one!"

"Since the bait is gone, the original plan is null and void. You no longer need to take the bait back to the training ground to lure those three fish into the trap."

"What you need to do now is quickly achieve a new feat to offset this failure!"

Her cold words kept hitting the "helmsman's" heart, making him feel dizzy.

He quickly pressed, "What new achievement? How should I...?"

"waste!"

The woman couldn't help but curse "helm" again, then took a deep breath, as if she had no choice but to accept the stupidity of her subordinates.

It was quite a while before she spoke again, looking slightly tired:

"The container that the adults want most is in those three fish."

"If you can't lure them in with bait, why don't you just use force?!"

……

"Hey, you guys know what? If the prison numbers weren't randomized, I would have really thought that Wei chose number 516 herself."

"516, 5 plus 1 equals 6, and 6 is... Hey, you'll see when you meet Wei, she has a very obvious birthmark on her face."

"And there's more..."

Jinx talked non-stop the whole way, her excitement reaching an unimaginable level.

Even though Caitlyn and Aaron could understand that she was excited to see her sister, neither of them seemed interested in continuing Jinx's line of conversation.

Let her get excited on her own; there don't seem to be many people in this five-story prison area anyway.

After all, for every line someone says, Jinx will "repay" them with ten new lines, most of which are meaningless nonsense.

Caitlyn was inexperienced at first and almost got nagged to death by Jinx.

If Aaron hadn't been so unable to stand it and deliberately drawn some of the "fire," Jinx probably wouldn't be walking ahead talking to herself right now, but would be whispering in Caitlyn's ear, constantly making noise.

"516!"

"Inmate number 516, your family has come to visit you!"

"If you behave well and cry your eyes out and apologize, they might consider taking you out for some fresh air~ Hahahaha..."

Walking on the deserted fifth-floor prison area, seeing no one around, Jinx, feeling that she was about to see her sister, completely relaxed.

She spoke in a strange tone, seemingly joking but actually expressing her longing in a subtle way, and in the end she even amused herself.

"Wei, let me remind you, if you don't admit you made a mistake that night, you can forget about it..."

"Don't go any further!"

Aaron suddenly grabbed Jinx and threw the girl behind him without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you?"

Caitlin quickly asked.

She couldn't understand why Aaron's face had suddenly darkened, as if some terrible threat was lurking in the prison area.

"You too, stand behind me!"

Aaron did not answer Caitlin.

He simply blocked both girls from view, his eyes flashing with a sharp light—

[WARNING! We recommend submitting your order quickly!]

[WARNING! We recommend submitting your order quickly!]

Just as Aaron stepped into the middle of the fifth-floor prison area, the black box system's incessant, shrill notification sounded in his mind.

"The system is asking me to submit the order quickly?"

Aaron's heart sank to the bottom. He stopped taking a step forward and warily scanned the empty cells around him.

He remembered that the last time he couldn't help but submit an order that wasn't fully completed was because he saw the armored monsters ravaging Zaun and felt that he urgently needed combat power.

The system is now urging me to submit my order, could it be...?

"Bang!!!"

A burst of intense fire shot out from the rifling of the large-caliber rifle, shattering the silence of the fifth prison block!
