Chapter 824: We are all comrades!

Actually, after the Kong Consortium had arrested Wang Yun, they made a very glaring mistake, which was to lock up all of his 200-odd subordinates in the same prison complex.

According to proper procedures, these people should have been separately detained. This was because they were elites of a military who got transferred to work under Wang Yun and had carried out many missions with him. On one hand, they were very united, and on the other hand, they were very strong in combat.

When Wang Yun was held in the secret prison, he was not too worried that his 200-odd subordinates would not have enough to eat and wear. After they were sent to the standard prison in Stronghold 31, they immediately became the most unruly force there.

Those so-called leaders and bosses among the inmates in the past could only play second-fiddle in front of them.

The so-called prison bullies of the past, who were mostly murderers, all knew they could do whatever they wanted since there was no chance of them being released from prison. Moreover, they were extremely vicious as well, so much so that the other prisoners were afraid of them.

However, these people had only killed one or two people at most, while those who killed more than three people were already considered mass murderers. Meanwhile, Wang Yun’s subordinates…

All of them had taken more than five lives on average…

Therefore, when the 200-odd subordinates of Wang Yun’s entered Stronghold 31’s prison and realized they had too much free time, they decided to unite the prisoners in Stronghold 31 first out of boredom.

The prison guards were extremely relaxed during this period as the prisoners they were watching did not even get into brawls anymore. It was as though they had banded together as a group.

After all, this prison had never been unified by anyone before.

They were over 200 professional soldiers. They even assigned the prisoners into platoons and put themselves in charge as their platoon commanders. They were basically managing the prisoners like they managed soldiers in the military.

When the warden found out about this, he was filled with worry. A few days ago, he had submitted a transfer request to move the 200-odd people away. However, he did not know if the document had even reached his boss, Kong Erdong. In any case, there was no follow-up on the matter.

Right now, the 200-odd brothers-in-arms were getting a little restless when they heard gunshots going off in the stronghold.

When they discovered the prison had been breached and heard the familiar sound of the air blasts, they perked up. In just the short duration of a minute, they immediately organized all the prisoners to start rioting against the prison guards.

Some people went to pull the power switch, while others broke off table legs to use as weapons. People were also lying in wait for the prison guards coming to suppress the riot to arrive.

When the prison guards entered the cell blocks, they were immediately surrounded by the prisoners. The prison guards realized the people in front of them did not look like a mob anymore. They were definitely a group of well-trained soldiers.

Actually, the prisoners were not that capable. It was mainly because the prison guards were not good at combat and could not compare to professional soldiers.

At this moment, Wang Yun’s trusted deputy, Zhang Yanhe, was giving orders one after another from the rear. Meanwhile, his comrades kept leading their troops to attack the remaining areas that had not yet been taken.

Zhang Yanhe said excitedly, “Comrades, I can already hear the sound of Director Wang’s attacks. He must’ve come to save us. Everyone, let’s do this! Let’s kill these prison guards first. We’ll have our revenge!”

Ren Xiaosu listened to the battle cries of the inmates in the prison from afar. He had thought it would take him some more effort to break into this prison, but he did not expect that he would end up not having to do it himself.

Wang Yun and Ji Zi’ang entered the prison together through a breach. The already precarious situation in the prison immediately became worse. How could the normal prison guards withstand the combined attacks of two supernatural beings?

When Zhang Yanhe saw Wang Yun, he was overjoyed. He immediately joined up with Wang Yun and asked, “Sir, how did you get out of the secret prison?”

Wang Yun looked at his comrades and said with a smile, “It’s a long story. Are all of our people here?”

“They’re all here!” Zhang Yanhe said, “Total strength: 289. Present strength: 289! Sir, what should we do now? Where are we headed?”

“To the Northwest,” Wang Yun said.

For some reason, when Wang Yun mentioned the Northwest this time, he suddenly felt a sense of belonging. It was as though that was exactly where he should be going, and that the Great Hoodwinker’s prophecy about his future being in the Prosperous Northwest was really true…

“The Northwest?” Zhang Yanhe and the others looked at each other.

Wang Yun explained, “The fact that I was able to escape this time, including all of you getting rescued, was because of the Northwest. Come with me to see our future commander.”

With that, Wang Yun and Ji Zi’ang led over 200 people and rushed out of the prison. At this moment, when a prison guard who was hiding in the shadows saw them trying to escape, he raised his gun and got ready to shoot.

Zhang Yanhe was the first to notice the prison guard. Seeing that the gun was pointed at Wang Yun, he immediately pushed Wang Yun away and tried to shield his superior.

But before he could push Wang Yun away, Zhang Yanhe could already see bleeding appearing on the prison guard’s chest. He was stunned. “A sniper? Why’s there a sniper?”

Wang Yun’s heart was still throbbing with fear. He got a little carried away by the reunion just now. Fortunately, Yang Xiaojin had intervened, or the joyous occasion of their reunion today would have become a funeral instead.

Zhang Yanhe asked, “Sir, where did you get the sniper from?”

Wang Yun told Zhang Yanhe, “I didn’t. That’s our future commander’s wife. The two of them rescued me from the secret prison. The chaos in Stronghold 31 was their doing as well.”

“The two of them?” Zhang Yanhe and the others were stunned. “Sir, you mean these two?”

They had already walked up to Ren Xiaosu. After Yang Xiaojin confirmed it was safe, she stood up from the lawn and put away her sniper rifle.

Wang Yun said, “Thank you for saving our lives, Future Commander!”

His 200-odd subordinates bowed in unison. “Thank you, Future Commander!”

Ren Xiaosu broke into a grin. The typewriter in the palace got so busy it could not stop typing. It seemed like every one of their gratitudes was sincere!

He walked up to them and shook their hands warmly. “We’re all comrades. The Northwest welcomes you all!”

Watching this from the side, Yang Xiaojin suddenly felt that Ren Xiaosu had become a veteran. Wang Yun turned to Yang Xiaojin and said, “Come, let’s thank Future Commander’s wife as well!”

Yang Xiaojin waved it off. “Just thank Ren Xiaosu.”

Although Yang Xiaojin did not know why Ren Xiaosu liked being thanked by others so much, she knew it was definitely useful to him. Zhang Yanhe took the lead and bowed to thank Ren Xiaosu again. This left Ren Xiaosu grinning from ear to ear.

With a great harvest of gratitude tokens tonight, he had broken past the 5,400 mark!

He was getting close to unlocking the third weapon!

Seeing that it was about time, the Great Hoodwinker asked, “Future Commander, how are we leaving this place?”

This question stumped Ren Xiaosu. He had planned to use the steam locomotive to send Wang Yun and the others out of the city. But now that the steam locomotive, Old Xu, and the Shadow Door had all been sealed, it would take at least half a month before they could be used again. so he could not send them out anymore.

As such, the Great Hoodwinker, Wang Yun, and the others decided to head back into the prison to steal some vehicles. There were large buses used for transporting prisoners there, and five such vehicles would be enough to carry the nearly 300 of them. Once they got out of the stronghold, someone arranged by the Great Hoodwinker would naturally come and receive them.
