Bionic Era

"Cowardice imprisons the soul, and I hope it can make people feel free." Lu Wen looked out the window at the night, and the fire reflected in his eyes.

"The Shawshank Redemption?" Wei Bo'an glanced at him.

"Yes." Lu Wen nodded.

He looked at the time,

It has been more than an hour since I received the news and arrived here now.

The setting sun in the sky completely disappeared, replaced by a thick night.

The fire was still not extinguished.

The sudden drop in temperature at night brought strong winds.

The turbulent wind poured in from the gaps of the surrounding high-rise buildings, bringing those flames into the sky, the heat and the whirlwind were intertwined, and all the light and light objects that could be burned were swept into it.

It seemed to be a giant dragon ascending to heaven, burning blazingly.

"Fire tornado, this stuff usually only happens in the mountains and forests."

Wei Bo'an got off the vehicle and looked up at the magnificent scene in front of him.

A disaster of this level is difficult to form and requires the blessing of many conditions.

There was a firespout in the city, which hadn't been seen in many years.

Even the suburbs are better explained.

Continuous fireworks swept across the entire prison, and thick smoke billowed.

The black night was dyed a fiery red.

"The nearby residents have been evacuated urgently. We tried our best to suppress the fire, but the effect was not satisfactory, and many prisoners took the opportunity to escape." The person in charge of the prison was disgraced, and his clothes were burnt with several holes.

"Can you tell me about the security system?" Lu Wen asked.

"It's like this. Prison protection, monitoring, and door locks have all been integrated into one system more than ten years ago."

"All the cells have electronic locks?"

"Yes, I didn't know what happened at the time. When the fire started, the security system suddenly went offline and couldn't be woken up. All the cells were opened. Some prisoners took away the guard's guns and escaped."

This is the disadvantage of too much trust in modern technology. If it was a traditional lock, it would not be possible to escape so many prisoners now.

After a few brief exchanges, Lu Wen roughly understood the situation.

Not optimistic.

The prison is now inaccessible to ordinary people.

As soon as you get close, there will be a strong burning sensation.

Take a short breath, as if the lungs are about to be scorched.

The eyes are full of flame red.

A real sea of ​​flames.

"This is the highest-level prison on the surface, and it's actually ignited like this?" Lu Wen still finds it a little inconceivable.

"There is no way to find out the cause of the fire now. We can only wait until the fire is completely over. Several guards said that they remember that the fire started from the middle part at the beginning." The person in charge of the prison said.

"What's in the middle?"

"The kitchen, the cafeteria, and several confinement rooms."

The flames started in the kitchen, which also seemed to make sense.

"On weekdays, are all the cooks in the kitchen prisoners?"

"Basically they are all prisoners, but we have someone watching, and they can't do anything."

The cause of the fire has yet to be ascertained.

The red color of the flames was reflected under the sky, and the huge fire tornado seemed to be the divine fire descended from the heavens, rolling and rising rapidly, and the strong wind swept across.

You can feel the hot wind from far away.

"Tell those onlookers to disperse, it is very dangerous now."

Lu Wen was also convinced.

This is the case, and there are still people holding watermelons and watching while eating.

"Go away, the farther the better, whose child is that? Take it away!"

That fire tornado is extremely unstable.

It has moved a short distance within the confines of the prison and is still expanding.

The pictures on the scene are far better than the natural disasters shown in those movies.

This is one of the most devastating disasters.

"Tell all the human executives to step back, activate all the bionics who are still on standby in the executive bureau, and maintain order on the scene."

Although they are both bionics, Lu Wen doesn't care about the feelings of his compatriots now.

Thick smoke is also a very deadly link.

Black mixed with fiery red.

From a distance, the whole city seemed to be burning.

Visibility around the prison was already low.

Thick red smoke seemed to rise from the depths of hell, cutting off the sky.

It was difficult for flesh and blood to persist in this environment. Those particles were flying and burning in the air. Several executive officers had several blisters on their skin before they actually entered the prison.

"How many prisoners have escaped?"

"a lot of!"

The most important thing now is to catch all the escaped prisoners.

Those are heinous criminals.

Cruel and merciless, extremely vicious.

There are not many lives in hand, so I am too embarrassed to hang out in this prison.

"Before the fire started, there were a total of 469 prisoners in the prison. Now we have only gathered 203 people. Some escaped, and some were trapped in the flames, and may have been burned to death."

"Can you give me detailed data, how many people escaped?"

"It's very difficult! But at least 40 people escaped. Three of our instructors were injured and all the guns in their hands were taken away. Those three criminals are now the most threatening."

Lu Wen looked at the list compiled temporarily by the head of the prison.

From the beginning of the list to the end.

Read it several times.

Among these 203 people, there is no Jiang Xiaonian!

"Where is Jiang Xiaonian imprisoned?"

"Innermost, this area."

Prison chiefs really did their job.

Be able to remember clearly where each prisoner is held.

Lu Wen looked at the area he was pointing at on the map.

"Jiang Xiaonian is extremely dangerous. We locked him in the innermost, deepest area. He must have had no time to escape. He has probably been burned to death by now."

"No, he never thought of running away."

Jiang Xiaonian escaped last time and returned to the village.

After finding out that the school I built for the village was demolished by the villagers, my mentality changed.

Lu Wen couldn't tell what had changed.

That school seems to be a certain insistence in Jiang Xiaonian's heart. After the school became ruins, he was also buried in the ruins, unwilling to come out again.

"I'll go in and look for it," Lu Wen said.

"You're crazy, you're looking for death if you go in now, even the bionics can't survive!" The prison chief hurriedly pulled him.

A burning prison.

No matter which direction you look at it, it looks like a bloody demon who chooses and devours people.

Crouching on the land of the city in the night.

It waved its fiery arms, cutting off the vitality of hope.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire tornado even approached the edge of the prison at one point.

Those onlookers finally knew how to be afraid, and ran away one by one.

Even the news media that reported on the scene were all replaced by bionics.

"It was I who applied for his transfer to this prison, and he must be held accountable!" Lu Wen said loudly.

"Is there a data backup?"

"have!"

Knowing that Lu Wen has a data backup, the prison chief no longer stopped him.

This is the benefit of bionics.

As long as you have money, you can have countless lives.

Lu Wen turned around, took a deep breath, and was about to go in when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Xia Chuluo actually came too.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"This is the thirteenth district, and I'm the executive officer of the thirteenth district. If I don't come here, can I go to other places?" Xia Chuluo glanced at him, "Some people have been with the thirteenth district all week. People in the tenth district are fooling around, and those who don’t know think you’ve been poached.”

"Miss Xia, I'm just borrowing Lu Wen temporarily, and it will be over soon."

Wei Bo'an leaned on the vehicle beside him and spoke.

He called Xia Chuluo so much that Lu Wen was more interested, and he actually called him 'Miss Xia'. People who used this name usually knew Xia Chuluo's father.

"Your tenth district should have been rectified a long time ago. You can't go to other districts to ask for foreign aid just because of a petty theft." Xia Chuluo said lightly.

"This... is actually a little more serious than petty theft."

"How serious can it be? Except that four people died in a row, the rhythm has been controlled by others, and they are passive from beginning to end, and there is no trace of the murderer...it's nothing serious."

"this……"

Wei Bo'an was momentarily at a loss for words.

He couldn't bear Xia Chuluo's ordinary verbal attacks.

Xia Chuluo turned to look at Lu Wen, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Be careful when you go in, avoid those dangerous places, and get out if you can't find anyone. Your body is quite expensive."

"clear."

The reason why Miss Xia came here is also very simple.

criminals who escaped.

Especially those three with guns in their hands.

The night is heavy, and the muzzle of the gun in the darkness is always caught off guard. Everyone in the Thirteenth District Executive Bureau will not want to sleep tonight.

"I am temporarily acting as the chief executive of the thirteenth district, do you have any opinions?"

Xia Chuluo sent a message in the public channel.

"No comment."

"No comment."

"I have an opinion, but I dare not say it. After thinking about it, I have no opinion..."

Everyone quickly reached a consensus.

It is better to have one person in charge of the overall situation than none at all.

Although Xia Chuluo has an unpleasant personality, everyone recognizes her ability as the strongest.

"Okay, then follow my arrangement."

The girl got busy.

Wei Boan was not idle either.

He asked the person in charge of the prison to get the files of all 469 people, and checked them one by one.

The fire came out of nowhere, very strange, and it was in a place like a prison.

"I'll check to see if I'm satisfied with the real murderer twelve years ago. Be careful."

According to Lu Wen's inference.

Twelve years ago, the real murderer quickly fled the scene after the murder, and the wife of that family was tried and imprisoned, which became an unjust case.

But later, he was imprisoned because of a certain case.

It is very likely that he has been detained several times.

"If I can't come out, you can go to Xia Chuluo and ask for a backup of my data, and upload it directly to an ordinary military bionic human, so you don't need to waste time customizing it, time is precious now."

"Okay, you can go at ease!"

that's all.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Facing the flames, Lu Wen quickly approached the burning prison.

The night spread behind him.
