Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 337 - 325: The Guard: It Seems We Made a Mistake; The Good Intentions of the Guard, the Prison Warden’s Visit
Chapter 337: Chapter 325: The Guard: It Seems We Made a Mistake; The Good Intentions of the Guard, the Prison Warden’s Visit
The cacophony of howling and weeping convicts pierced through the thick blast-resistant glass and spread in every direction, furrowing the brows of the guards stationed atop the high watchtower.
A harsh reprimand immediately blared through the loudspeakers, "Do you want to start a rebellion? Silence! Make any more noise, and today’s yard time will be canceled!"
The convicts promptly behaved themselves.
They feared nothing more than the cancellation of yard time.
This was the only good opportunity to bask in the sun out of the entire day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, each session lasting about half an hour.
Any jerk who caused trouble and resulted in yard time being canceled would later be beaten to a pulp by the rest of them.
Hearing this forceful threat, they all shut their mouths, but still lay in a row against the blast-resistant glass, eagerly watching Chu Feng.
Watching them made Chu Feng and his companions’ scalps tingle.
The guard captain was speechless, glancing at the prison guards, who gave him an "I told you so" look.
Guard Captain: "..."
He suddenly felt that putting Chu Feng here might have been a mistake.
Should he report to his superiors and find an even harsher prison environment to throw Chu Feng into?
Harboring devious thoughts, he decisively completed the transfer procedures and, with a sigh of relief, left without looking back, driving away with the numerous guards.
He no longer wanted anything to do with a job involving Chu Feng, the violent extremist!
This lousy task could go to whoever wanted it!
...
The prison guard wasn’t aware that one of his colleagues, the courtroom guard captain, had just been severely threatened by Chu Feng, seeing him as a fearsome beast with an overwhelming background, the kind you wouldn’t dare provoke.
He simply wondered why the guard captain was so rough-and-ready, hurrying away as soon as the procedures seemed barely sorted.
Was his wife about to give birth or something?
Not wanting to ponder further, he turned to Chu Feng with a friendly smile and extended his hand, "Hello, Captain Chu Feng, I’m Senior Sergeant Zou Shi of the Demon Extermination Army, serving as the prison guard captain.
"Here, on behalf of Yan Capital’s high-security transfer prison, I warmly welcome you!"
"...Actually, there’s no need for such fanfare."
Chu Feng smiled wryly and extended his hands, shackled by the arms-sealing lock, to shake the guard’s hand, "But still, thank you, Senior Sergeant Zou!
"Are the other guard brothers also part of the Demon Extermination Army sequence? Or the Demon Annihilation Army?"
Military personnel were usually the only ones who addressed him by his military rank, and seeing the similarly kind smiles on the other guards’ faces suggested that they were probably soldiers too.
Zou Shi didn’t suppress Chu Feng but gestured for him to follow him inside the prison.
Chu Feng’s question wasn’t a secret, so Zou Shi answered with a smile, "This prison is co-managed by us and the Demon Annihilation Army; half of the brothers here are from the Demon Annihilation Army.
"However, we both stem from the same origin, so it’s not much different than being one family, all fighting to protect Longhua."
He looked at Chu Feng and laughed heartily, "We all deeply admire you!
"You helped us destroy the Demon Clan camp, uncovered the spies hidden within, and disrupted the Demon Alliance’s plans, saving countless lives in the process!
"Not to mention, you made the priceless cultivation technique freely available.
"It has allowed us to gain stronger combat abilities, increasing our chances of survival, and even our children have started practicing better cultivation techniques, which are no less than those of the Noble Clans!.
"I, Zou Shi, may not be capable of much, but I can ensure within my authority that you are comfortable!"
Chu Feng felt heartened, knowing that his achievements were recognized and appreciated by so many people, and it was worth it.
Meanwhile, he noticed that when Zou Shi mentioned the Noble Clans, some people’s faces showed a trace of embarrassment.
It seemed there were quite a few people from Noble Families within both armies.
However, most of them must be children born out of wedlock; otherwise, they wouldn’t start from scratch as soldiers in prison.
Chu Feng nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Zou, but I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know when to advance or retreat. I won’t make things difficult for you."
"..."
Zou Shi, however, noticed the Arms-Sealing Lock on Chu Feng’s wrist, and his brow furrowed as he reached out to remove it.
But the soldier holding the handover document suddenly stopped him, whispering something.
Chu Feng saw Zou Shi’s expression stiffen.
Afterward, Zou Shi stuttered to Chu Feng, "That, Brother Chu...
"I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wear that Arms-Sealing Lock for a while longer. It’s required in the handover document, and I don’t have the authority to remove it..."
This forthright man’s bronze face actually turned red with embarrassment, and he hurriedly added, "But I will do my best to ask the Prison Warden to get this damned thing off you!"
Chu Feng’s impression of him grew more favorable, and he waved his hands with a smile, "Brother Zou, don’t worry about it. It’s part of the punishment, and I really don’t mind."
After all, this thing on my hand is like a toy to me, it can be broken with a simple stab.
"..."
Hearing this, Zou Shi felt even more ashamed for not fulfilling his promise, and his impression of Chu Feng improved even more.
The two of them talked about many things along the way, including the Lin Family scion killed by Chu Feng and the targeting by the Martial Noble Families.
When they discussed Chu Feng’s public killing of Lin Hao, upon hearing the detailed account from Chu Feng’s mouth, the guards all cheered.
Subjected to slander and with enemies harboring killing intent, any man would fight back on the spot!
Lin Hao’s death was due to his own incompetence.
Talking about the Noble Families, he explained that indeed there were many brothers from Noble Families within both armies.
But they were all marginal figures in their Families, with even their blood relationships becoming extremely thin, already excluded by the Noble Families. They had no access to any resources and could only join the army from the bottom up, struggling hard.
Therefore, they didn’t have much affection for their own families, and after receiving Chu Feng’s kindness, they all stood by his side.
...
Actually, for an ordinary person, joining the army was already a bright path.
As long as one could endure the discipline, hardships, and risks, everything could be obtained through one’s own efforts.
Be aware that the criteria for the recruitment of soldiers by the armies were very strict; they did not just recruit anybody. They needed to conduct a detailed investigation, from physical fitness to personal character and even background relations.
And those who were eliminated by the armies could only join the hunting teams of various large companies.
They would take on even greater risks hunting in various domains, earning less money, and later, they would have to worry about further Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques.
Or they would have to give up the path of Martial Arts and join the construction of ordinary society, becoming an insignificant cog in the machine...
...
The two conversed all the way up and arrived in front of a wooden door on the third floor.
Zou Shi pointed to the wooden door and smiled, "The Prison Warden heard you were coming and had us wait for you at the parking lot early on. He wanted to invite you over as soon as you arrived; this kind of treatment is something others have never enjoyed.
"Brother Chu, please come in. The Prison Warden is waiting inside for you."
