Chapter 41: Rescue Operation (9)
Rescue Operation (9)
A ferry loaded with people crossed the sea. It was late afternoon, and soon the twilight would paint the sea in a brilliant glow.
While Jinsoo was reviewing the list of guards and prisoners in the central control room, inside the ferry, some prisoners who still had strength left were talking. Of course, instead of idle chatter, they were having more practical conversations.
“We didn’t make a mistake, did we?” Nina glanced around nervously.
“What do you mean?” Sasha asked.
Instead of answering, Nina gestured around with her chin. Everywhere you looked, the cabins were packed with people. And heavily armed robots were patrolling through the crowd. The way they subdued the prisoner who had caused a disturbance earlier was quite impressive. The woman hit in the shoulder couldn't get up for a while and just gagged on the spot.
Her companions checked on her, but there were no broken bones or visible injuries. The strike had precisely targeted the muscles to cause maximum pain. If this wasn’t a coincidence and was intentional, that was terrifying in its own way.
“From now on, we’ll be under the control of those tin cans. If you don’t listen to them, they’ll just beat you up.”
Nina had dealt with police officers and prison guards before, but even with prisoners, she'd never seen anyone treat women like this.
