I, the warden of Delta, am a science popularizer and advocate for nuclear peace and friendliness.

"good……"

Said agreed without hesitation, while Reis simply stood by and watched without saying a word.

He watched Saeed's behavior in silence, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

"Heh, you looked so nonchalant on the way here, but now you're all deflated?"

The conversation ended quickly. Reinus had only been guarding the door for a short time when he saw three people come out of the room: first Said, then Shigure, and then Reis.

Shiyu followed behind Said silently, without the slightest hint of nervousness.

However, he could tell the other man's emotions from the tension in his muscles.

"It looks much stronger than the ones in the dungeon; it should be comparable to the early to mid-game elite level."

Shiyu made a rough estimate, but since they had never fought each other, he wasn't entirely sure.

But one thing is certain: the opponent is definitely much weaker than himself.

If they were to face off, this Said should be able to last a few more rounds than the one from the Secret Dam.

However, this refers to close combat. If it were a gunfight, they might be able to go toe-to-toe.

It's worth noting that Said's marksmanship is quite good; in previous games, he could wipe out entire teams in a single shot.

However, this is on the premise that the player wants to engage in a gunfight with him; if the player insists on running away, then that's a different story.

After the three got into the SUV, this time Saeed drove. Instead of going directly back to the administration building, he chose to go to the nearest military camp.

Only five or six minutes had passed when they arrived at the downhill section of the military camp.

The vehicle entered as usual without being stopped.

All of Asara's soldiers knew it was the leader's vehicle just by seeing the distinctive graffiti on the hood.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop in a corner, where two Asara snipers on the watchtower kept watch over the surroundings.

Lei Si jumped out of the car first and opened the car door for Shi Yu.

"Tsk, why are you being so obsequious?"

Said looked at the other party's actions with disdain, his contempt growing even stronger, but he didn't show it on his face.

Of course, even if it shows on your face, probably no one would be able to see it.

"Your Excellency Warden, please follow me."

Sayed a command and then led the way toward the pipe area.

Like the military barracks, cement plant, and administrative building, the area was expanded, making it much larger than before.

Different types of soldiers were training around them, and military tents were set up here. Shi Yu and the other two walked up the slope.

The pipe entrance in front of us is extremely wide, large enough for two large trucks to enter side by side.

As soon as Shiyu reached the door, she heard wailing coming from inside. The sound seemed to be coming from the area to the left of the pipe.

"This is where GTI personnel are being held."

Shigure was very familiar with this, after all, he still had a prison under his control.

"Instead of killing them, they're using torture to extract confessions? No wonder no players have been able to return from the open world; they've been captured..."

After Shigure entered, she turned her head to look to her left.

A foul odor, a mixture of rust and blood, permeated the depths of the pipes. The dim light failed to illuminate every corner, instead making the shadows even thicker, like congealed ink.

To the left, a hundred paces away, rows of steel cages are densely packed, stretching deep into the darkness beyond the reach of light, all the way to the end.

The cages weren't big, but each one was crammed with four or five people, who were huddled together and could barely lie down.

Most of them were dressed in rags, covered in stains and dried bloodstains, with empty or numb eyes filled with despair, and only the occasional tremor of their bodies proved that they were still alive.

Near the outermost cages stood makeshift torture racks. The people bound to them were unrecognizable, their bodies covered in whip marks, branding marks, and other barely identifiable wounds.

Soft groans, intermittent sobs, and faint cries of agony, uncontrollable due to extreme pain, intertwined with the unique echo effect of the pipes, creating a heavy and oppressive background sound that continuously pounded against the eardrums.

"Wow, that's ruthless?"

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Shigure still couldn't help but twitch when he saw this scene.

Some Asara soldiers walked by, carrying buckets or simple tools as they moved between the cells.

After Saeed led the way into the detention area, he stopped and turned to look at Shigure. His red mask looked particularly cold and hard in the dim light.

"Your Excellency Warden, as you can see, these are GTI rats attempting to infiltrate or attack Dam Zero. Some are stubborn, some... are no longer of much use."

His tone was flat, as if he were describing the goods piled up in the warehouse.

"If Hafk is interested in the interrogation results, we can provide the complete transcript."

Reis stood a little behind with his arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over the cages, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips as he subtly observed Shigure's reaction.

"No, bring them out one by one, I'll interrogate them myself."

"it is good."

Saeed agreed and then beckoned to one of the guards, whispering a few words in his ear.

"Hmm...I understand!"

The guard nodded, then used a large bunch of keys to open the iron bars of the cage one by one.

Nearby Asara soldiers gathered around, guns drawn, to guard against any potential riots.

Although these people had all been tortured and were already physically weak, the iron shackles on their feet and hands left them with little power to resist.

Even suicide is difficult for them.

As for biting his tongue to commit suicide? Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that's simply impossible.

Firstly, the body's instincts will reject this behavior, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to do under normal circumstances.

Some players have tried to let others kill them and then return to the Special Operations Unit for help, but most of them were stopped by the Asara soldiers guarding them before they could cause any deaths.

When more than 300 players were released, Shigure finally moved.

Shi Yu stepped forward, and when the crowd gathered, he glanced around briefly before speaking in a serious voice.

"Those who want to die, step forward, and I can bring down judgment right now."

The players all looked up at the source of the sound, and their pupils contracted sharply when they saw the warden's face.

Upon hearing this, Said's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, while Reis remained expressionless.

"Your Excellency, I still have use for these people. I need to reserve more than a hundred of them as training subjects for my subordinates."

Said stepped forward and said a few words, and Shiyu nodded slightly without refuting.

"Fine, I will only kill those who seek death."

Before long, more than eighty players emerged from the group. Their faces showed little fear, only sorrow and regret.

"It seems that only these people have more than two resurrection attempts left."

Shiyu could naturally read the expressions on the players' faces. He didn't kill those players who only had one chance to revive, as that would be detrimental to future development.

But the more important reason is that Said and Reis are there, and he is on their territory.

Having already spoken up and made it clear to him, he naturally couldn't do as he pleased.

But... eight thousand kill points, that's a huge harvest!
