Players Invade Cyberpunk

The POW camp is established on the swampy peninsula, where the terrain is vast and endless, and there are hidden mud pits everywhere. Just a little careless off the road could mean stepping into mud and being stuck.

With the weight of a Cyborg, without any external help, you can pretty much declare GG. Moreover, on this open plain, there’s only ankle-high turf, not a shrub in sight, nowhere to hide.

So, this POW camp built by the prisoners themselves doesn’t even have walls; the players aren’t worried about them running away.

All cybernetic functions are disabled, all functionalities locked. Stepping out of this area directly paralyzes and signals an alert at the original spot.

What the corporation can do, the players can do too, and they don’t even bother to hide it.

Aside from the largest group of Cubans, the camp also contains the British and Germans, with a few French.

About eight or nine hundred Cubans were captured, mainly because players on the battlefield usually go for the kill, aiming for the head with bullets; otherwise, more could have been captured.

Eventually, it even turned into if there are no Europeans around, then Cubans either run if they can or surrender on the spot; fighting was out of the question.

The Black Forest special forces members are more diverse, as a pure mercenary group assigned by their superiors to gild the young master, containing Germans and French, captured over a hundred.

As for the British, three companies totaling two thousand five hundred men represent a gathering of elite troops, with the best weapons and equipment, hence more captives than the Black Forest, with over two hundred combined from the three.

However, the POW camp is not Dragon Field. Dragon Field is Lin Miao’s pilot project; the Chaotic Blade Association caught in there wouldn’t be re-educated, let alone used as labor slaves or have organs harvested as no one cared, to begin with. It’s a camp forged from brutal environments.

These POWs, after all, have legal identities in Europe, even if their companies don’t care, they have some social relationships, and exposure would affect the company’s public image.

Therefore, Lin Miao’s attitude towards them is to abide by the Geneva Convention, not mistreat but also no special treatment.

Although this world has long forgotten anything about the Geneva Convention.

When they first arrived, their legs were soft like jelly, crying and lamenting loudly, as if the Horizon Mercenaries were about to throw them into a concentration camp to make soap.

Because in the past, plenty of harsh actions like setting up human stakes as targets or shooting women in the head were done by them while on missions abroad.

And the Horizon Mercenaries were quite capable of doing the same to them.

Also, they were well aware of the conduct in North America by factions like Military Science and Huang Ban.

Militaristic lunatics and colonial purge choices, all the same crew, equally brutal.

The most important thing is these Europeans are very clear about what they did in Cuba, especially those pilots who were almost stabbed by Cuban guards on their first day here. The Wildman had to order all local personnel out of the camp.

It was indeed judging others by one’s own standards.

However, the Cubans are much calmer because the earlier captives have figured out the rules here, easily spreading it within their circles.

Their daily routine means working hard during the day to build the POW camp.

Everything within their living range must be constructed by themselves: dorms, canteen, playground, bathhouse, toilets being the basics, laying their own cables and setting up the power grid.

Whatever they build, they will live in; they couldn’t harm others in any case.

Every day, trucks deliver a large amount of prefabricated materials for them to build houses. With their cybernetics disabled, labor isn’t light, ensuring they don’t think about anything else.

Some fool tried to sneak into a convoy or sneak out under a truck’s chassis, almost getting tased by the transport platform’s Tasers.

What a joke, players have watched plenty of prison break movies, you think they’ll leave such a loophole?

You’d have a better chance digging a tunnel out with a spoon.

In fact, players might even let you dig all the way through just for laughs before catching you back.

Recently promoted, the Shanxi coal boss responsible for the prison gathered all prisoners on the playground:

"Ahem, everyone, before starting work today, there’s something to tell you all. Recently, some European journalists will be coming here for on-site interviews. We hope you will cooperate with their work, say everything that is true. As a reward, you can let them relay some messages, like sending an email to family, which we won’t stop but the content needs to be reviewed before sending."

This news quickly stirred up the European soldiers.

"Journalists? European? What are they doing here at the camp?"

"Do you think they might be here to rescue us?"

"Could be, maybe someone is disguised as a journalist with a bomb or something."

"It’d be best if there’s a hacker among them to unlock this damn software lock."

"I suggest not to."

"What? Why?"

"Bro, our cybernetics have been wiped clean; no firewall could stop that. If those cybernetics companies find out, they might kill us to silence us."

"Gosh, I would’ve forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it."

Some are happy, some are worried.

While the European soldiers are full of discussions, the Cuban soldiers are feeling rather uneasy.

Despite being the most numerous in the camp, their status is the lowest.
