CH 38.2

“Don’t be stupid; you won’t be caught, Eve.”

Luoding smiled bitterly, “I believe you; I will pray for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Luoding.”

After Luya left this room, she came to the central passage.

Robots are working in each area, but their patrolling range is fixed. If you are not too close to them, their automatic detection ability will not be triggered.

But to be honest, the density of these robots is a bit too high. Luya can still figure out a way to walk around the wall, but Luoding and Matthew definitely can’t. Is there a way to temporarily close this factory so that the robots are suspended?

Luya plans to find the main power source and shut down the power plant. Together with the prison riots, it is enough to make the Imperial soldiers rush. But this power plant is also like a big maze. Maybe she can kidnap a human worker and ask.

After walking around the central area for a while, she quickly found the target.

——A fairly young man wearing special work clothes, his entire face wrapped in a gas mask. Luya was sure that she could subdue him with a single blow. When he walked to a relatively hidden corner, she suddenly fell from the sky, restrained the opponent from behind, struck his carotid artery, and whispered.

“Don’t move or scream, or I will break your neck.”

The person completely froze, not even struggling. After a while, he nodded and made a gesture of surrender.

So Luya slowly let go of him and continued to order the other party, “Don’t look back.”

“…”

Maybe the gap between the two parties is too great; the other party just hesitated and then said very obediently, “…Sir, can I do something for you.”

When he spoke, Luya discovered that this was a very clever man, pretending not to recognize the intruder’s identity, trying to save his life.

So Luya also took advantage of the situation, “Take me to the general power supply.”

This request made the other party silent again. He hesitated. When Luya was ready to continue to force him, the man said quietly, “Sir, do you have to go there? The radiation there is very serious. Even if a robot is used for operation, it will be scrapped within 15 minutes.”

what? Is the radiation so powerful?

Luya originally thought that she was strengthened by dragon blood, even if there was radiation, it would not have much impact on her, but if the radiation level could make the robot scrapped, even she did not want to risk it easily. No wonder the Empire’s soldiers are not seen in this factory. In such a high-risk place, the Empire will only arrange for prisoners to do this work.

She couldn’t help but rethink whether she should implement the plan. Unexpectedly, at this time, the young man with his back to her suddenly reached out and slowly took off the gas mask he was wearing.

“Wait, what do you want to do!”

Luya was stunned for a moment. While she was about to stop the opponent, she was stunned when she saw half his face turn sideways.

It was an ulcerated face for the most part, with a large area of erythema extending from the face to the neck, and it looked terrifying. It was the typical skin ulcer caused by radiation damage to immunity.

His eyes are also very cloudy, and when looking at Luya, he seems unable to focus.

“Don’t mind; actually, my eyes can’t see clearly. I have to work hard to see your face.”

He seemed to be trying to eliminate Luya’s anxiety, but Luya was shocked and speechless for most of the day.

The man stared at her with a helpless and sad expression.

“Although I don’t know why you came to such a place, I want to tell you, don’t go, or you will become like this.”

The other party didn’t seem hostile, didn’t intend to run away or call someone, and always faced Luya calmly. After a long time, Luya finally couldn’t help but utter, “Why are you reminding me? What good is this for you?”

“There is no reason, just want to do this.” He answered quietly.

“…Your condition is very serious; how long have you been working here?”

“Three years, my sentence is seven years, but I should not be able to survive that time; my body is almost at its limit.”

As if he had accepted his fate, he sighed for a long time, staring at Luya with numb eyes, but calmly told her, “I know where you can get the clothes. I will take you over. If you want to leave here, There is no need to go to the main power supply center.”

“…”

Luya stared into the other person’s eyes, trying to find deception or conspiracy in it, but she could not see anything. All she saw was a very sincere ordinary person.

“Why help me?”

Obviously, he is in misfortune but still wants to help other people. Why is he, who is also a prisoner here, still be so kind to her?

If Luya didn’t understand the reason for this a second ago, at this moment, she suddenly had an epiphany.

“It’s not easy to live, and there is no need to make more people suffer the same thing.”

The man shook his head and smiled; he didn’t explain anything. When he laughed, he showed almost half of his teeth, which looked terrible but sad.

“Let’s go, don’t stay here for too long; you are beautiful, don’t become like me.”
