Chapter 1596 A Strange Place
1596
Time passed little by little.
Xu Taiping suddenly heard gusts of wind.
The sound of wind came from a 5x30 vent on the wall. In addition to the sound of wind, Xu Taiping could also hear bursts of rustling sounds, which seemed to be sand hitting the screen window of the vent.
The huge wind and sand gave Xu Taiping the feeling of a sandstorm.
The sandstorm lasted for about five minutes and then disappeared.
Xu Taiping continued to sit as time passed by.
It was six o'clock in the evening in a blink of an eye.
The sunshine outside the window is still very bright. In this desert, the sun goes down very late.
There were bursts of footsteps outside the cell, and then the doors of each cell were opened.
Xu Taiping stood up and walked to the door and looked out.
Men with dark skin and wearing prison uniforms filed in from outside.
Each of these men's bodies were covered with sand and dust, and they looked very miserable. Their skin was very dark and dry.
They walked in silence from the outside, and then entered each cell.
Someone saw Xu Taiping, but no one spoke. Xu Taiping could clearly feel that each of these people was seriously lacking in energy.
After waiting for a while, a man who was only about 1.7 meters tall walked into Xu Taiping's cell.
This man looked quite old, about fifty years old. He was not tall, and his hair was slightly long, already reaching his neck.
The man glanced at Xu Taiping, then sat on the head of the bed, leaning against the wall, without saying a word.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xu Taiping." Xu Taiping sat on his bed and looked at the other person and said.
The man didn't speak, his eyes looked ahead blankly.
"My code name here is 9527." Xu Taiping said.
The man still didn't speak.
Xu Taiping smiled and was not angry because the other party didn't speak. In fact, there were all kinds of people in the prison, and it was normal to have weird tempers.
Just then, a trumpet sounded.
"Dinner will start in ten minutes. Everyone please go to the cafeteria."
"It's time to eat!" Xu Taiping stood up and said, "Would you like to eat together?"
The man still sat there and said nothing.
Xu Taiping didn't ask him out again. He stood up and walked out of the cell.
What surprised Xu Taiping was that at this time, all the prisoners in each cell stayed in their cells, and no one came out.
Xu Taiping frowned slightly. He walked forward and passed many cells. He found that the people in these cells were sitting there without moving.
Xu Taiping walked to the cafeteria under the guidance of the prison guards.
What surprised Xu Taiping was that he didn't meet anyone on the way to the canteen.
Soon, Xu Taiping arrived at the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was empty, except for a few people wearing masks standing at the windows where food was served, chatting.
Xu Taiping's appearance seemed to surprise those people.
Xu Taiping walked over and looked at the meals in the window.
There are two kinds of staple food, which is rice and rice. The dishes are quite rich, including fried chicken nuggets, fried chicken steak, barbecue...
Such a dish can be said to be very good, especially in a place like a prison.
"What to eat?" one person asked.
"Rice, barbecue, fried chicken steak...eh, no vegetables?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"There are no vegetables here," said the vegetable collector.
"That's it. Is there any soup?" Xu Taiping asked.
"No."
"No soup? How can we eat it?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Eat if you want, or go back if you don't want to eat." said the person who brought food.
"You really have a bad temper!" Xu Taiping shook his head, then walked to the side with his food and sat down.
Xu Taiping was very thirsty at this time, and there was no soup here. Looking at the rice and meat in front of him, Xu Taiping suddenly found that he had no appetite.
He took two mouthfuls of rice and found it tasted like chewed rice.
Xu Taiping spit out the rice in his mouth, then stood up and walked to the window where the food was served and asked, "Is there water?"
"No." said the waiter.
"Is there anything to drink? Anything to drink?" Xu Taiping asked again.
"Do you drink urine?" the waiter asked jokingly.
Xu Taiping frowned and was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He turned around and walked back the way he came.
Not long after, Xu Taiping walked to the cell area. He walked past the cells one after another and found that many people were looking at him jokingly.
At this time, Xu Taiping finally understood why these people didn't go to eat. When you are thirsty, eating those meals will only make you more uncomfortable.
Xu Taiping returned to his cell and found that the cell door was still open.
This made Xu Taiping a little surprised. This prison seemed very powerful, but the management was quite loose. Except for the guards at a few entrances and exits, there was no one to manage the entire Noda cell area. The prisoners could move around at will. , but no prisoners moved around at will.
Xu Taiping sat on the bed, glanced at the person lying on the bed next to him, and said, "Where is this underworld?"
The man said nothing, but turned to face the wall.
"Don't be so unkind. We are inmates after all. We may have to spend a long time together in the future," Xu Taiping said.
The man did not speak, but turned around and looked at Xu Taiping.
After a long time, under Xu Taiping's expectant gaze, the man slowly said, "In the underworld, try to talk as little as possible."
This person's voice was very dry, and one could tell that his throat was in a state of extreme thirst.
"You finally paid attention to me." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "I am new here and I don't understand anything. Please teach me what kind of rules I need to abide by here."
The man looked at Xu Taiping and seemed to think that Xu Taiping was a kind-hearted person, so after being silent for a while, the man said, "Just talk less here."
"Can you just say less? Are the water resources here very scarce?" Xu Taiping asked.
The man nodded.
"That's it!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized, and then said, "No wonder everyone doesn't go to have dinner. Without water, eating will be too uncomfortable. By the way, I haven't asked my eldest brother, who are you?"
"Crazy Army." The man said calmly.
Crazy army?
Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment. This name was really domineering, but he was certain that he had never heard of this name.
"Go to sleep and talk again tomorrow morning. By then, everyone will be energetic." Kuang Jun said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded.
A night of silence.
It was around six o'clock the next morning.
The sunlight in the desert was already very dazzling. It shone into the cell through the little exhaust vent and just hit Xu Taiping's eyes, which made people very uncomfortable.
Xu Taiping got up, sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated for a while.
When he came here, he naturally did not bring the Marrow Cleansing Pill. However, Xu Taiping still habitually meditated in the morning. Meditation is different from sleeping. Sleeping is rest, while meditation is strengthening one's consciousness.
At 6:30 in the morning, the cell doors opened one by one, and then the music started playing.
Xu Taiping got up from the bed in a hurry and walked straight out.
Xu Taiping quickly got out of bed and walked out.
Outside the cells, batches of prisoners walked out of their cells, with expectations on their faces.
The unkempt prisoners formed a line and walked towards the cafeteria.
Xu Taiping stood in the queue with the Kuangjun. There were prisoners in front and behind him, but as shown in the movie, the old prisoners did not come to bully him, the new prisoner.
Soon, a group of people came to visit the canteen.
The canteen was distributing food. What surprised Xu Taiping was that in addition to food, there was also drinking water.
One bottle of mineral water per person is the kind of very ordinary and simple mineral water that costs two yuan a bottle.
Everyone gets a bottle, and in addition, everyone gets two buns, an egg, and a side of vegetables.
This breakfast is pretty good.
"Wait a minute, protect your water. No matter who asks you for it, don't give it to them. Water is what you rely on to survive here!" Kuang Jun, who was walking in front of Xu Taiping, suddenly said.
Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Everyone received their own breakfast, and soon Kuangjun also received his breakfast and walked aside.
Xu Taiping walked up to the staff in the cafeteria. The man glanced at Xu Taiping, showed an unknown smile, and then said, "New here, right?"
"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded.
"There hasn't been anyone here for a while. I wish you good luck." The staff said and handed Xu Taiping's breakfast to him.
To Xu Taiping's surprise, the staff member actually gave him two bottles of water!
Everyone else has one bottle, but he has two bottles. Is this due to the halo of the protagonist?
Just when Xu Taiping took the two bottles of water, Xu Taiping could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the entire cafeteria suddenly became tense.
Many people looked at the two bottles of water in his hand with longing eyes, their eyes almost shining.
Xu Taiping's face trembled slightly. It didn't seem that simple for the staff member to give him two bottles of water.
Xu Taiping took water and his own food, walked to the opposite side of Kuangjun and sat down.
"Two bottles of water?" Kuangjun asked.
The sound of Kuangjun at this time was much better than yesterday, and it seemed to be because of drinking water.
"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded.
Kuangjun took a bite of the bun and said, "You are miserable."
"I'm miserable? Why?" Xu Taiping asked.
Kuang Jun shook his head, and then pointed behind Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping looked back and saw two bald men walking over from behind Xu Taiping.
These two bald men are both about 1.9 meters tall, which is considered very tall. The muscles on their bodies are very strong, and they are not easy to mess with.
Kuangjun lowered his head and said, "No matter what, keep your water. Only then can you survive."
"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded.
at this time.
There was a snap.
A hand was placed on Xu Taiping's shoulder.
