Chapter 132: Formation of a Terrifying Mini Legion with Seventy-Four Subordinates!

“Success!”

Inside the maximum security prison of Nancheng, Wang Yun walked out from the cafeteria, donning a guard uniform, his face breaking into a smile. Flanked by two young guards for cover, their operation unfolded with remarkable ease.

“Let’s head back to the infirmary,” Wang Yun said before they made their way back to the medical room.

There, they found a computer. Upon arrival, Wang Yun immediately turned it.

The prison’s surveillance was internally managed, not linked to any external network. This meant that even if one hacked into the prison’s computer system, accessing the surveillance footage would be impossible.

However, Wang Yun’s computer was an internal one connected to the local area network.

With Wang Yun’s adept handling, all surveillance footage promptly appeared before him. Smiling at his success, he proceeded to breach the prison’s database. He aimed to gather comprehensive information on all the criminals.

Upon accessing it, he began his search.

“Hmm? Indeed, this place is a goldmine of talents,” Wang Yun said as the information in the database caught his eye, his gaze intensifying.

He focused on one particular entry.

Name: Song Jianhui

Age: 42

Occupation: Chemistry teacher, postgraduate advisor.

Crime: Constructed explosives in his 17th year, causing severe injuries and permanent disability to his father-in-law’s family, sentenced to life imprisonment.

“A bomb maniac,” he muttered under his breath.

Wang Yun didn’t know much about explosives, as it involved chemical knowledge.

Seeing this information, Wang Yun was struck with inspiration. Despite his high intelligence, he lacked knowledge in areas he hadn’t studied. However, purchasing skills from the system store would grant him the corresponding knowledge, much like with god-level medical skills. After he had bought the skill, Wang Yun automatically mastered medical knowledge relevant to the skill.

He opened the system’s store once more and began his search.

“There’s no god-level skill specifically for explosives, but there is one for a god-level bomb disposal expert.”

Wang Yun promptly spent one million shock points to get this skill.

Reviewing his shock value points, he realized that his activities throughout the day had accumulated a total of eight million points, more than to splurge a bit.

Wang Yun’s mind was flooded with extensive information about bombs. As a god-level bomb disposal expert, he would have a thorough understanding of bombs. Naturally, he also gained the ability to make bombs.

Being on the offense was far simpler than defending.

The prison was filled with serious offenders: murderers, arsonists, fraudsters, among others. Some had been incarcerated for over a decade, while others faced potential execution. Wang Yun also saw the information about Brother Hu and others, including their detention locations.

A smile formed on his lips.

The prison held a total of six hundred and thirty-six inmates. Excluding those nearing release or facing long-term detention, there were over a hundred people. These individuals were Wang Yun’s primary targets.

If he could recruit all of them, then…

Of course, the idea of directly recruiting over a hundred individuals seemed overly ambitious.

Recruiting all of them would make him an easy target, and not all of these hundred-plus individuals might be willing to follow him.

As he mulled over his plan, time passed bit by bit finally reaching midnight.

The first group began their late-night meal.

Wang Yun monitored the cafeteria closely through the surveillance cameras. He was determined to make sure that everyone ate the food. If anyone skipped their meal, Wang Yun would take care of it himself.

By twelve-thirty, the first group had finished their meals.

The second wave arrived.

By one o’clock, the late-night snack period had officially ended.

The prison’s night shift was relatively laid-back. With all inmates asleep, the guards’ primary task was to keep watch. The security within the prison was exceptionally tight. However, since the guards were all played by program staff, they performed their roles with utmost diligence.

“Why am I feeling so sleepy after eating? I can barely keep my eyes open.”

Today, some prison guards felt an overwhelming urge to sleep.

In the surveillance room, a staff member playing a guard robbed his eyes of tiredness and said to a colleague, “I’m going to snooze for a bit. Wake me up in a bit, okay?”

“Sure,” responded the young guard beside him.

Around twenty minutes later, another prison guard succumbed to sleep as well. Naturally, this was all part of their act.

Wang Yun had only pretended to mix the drug into the dishes. Their act of falling asleep was merely following the producer’s instructions. But even if he had done it for real, the concoction Wang Yun prepared was potent enough to put them to sleep

At 1:30 AM, the prison, shrouded in silence, echoed with the sound of footsteps.

In the faint light, Wang Yun moved with two guards at his side, their gazes empty, following him mechanically like zombies. This scene was somewhat unsettling, enough to make one’s skin crawl.

With a smile, Wang Yun approached a station where a young man was smoking.

“Huh? What’s going on, guys?” the smoking young man saw them approach and asked in slight confusion.

Beside him, a colleague had already fallen deep into sleep. He looked at Wang Yun and his companions and felt an eerie vibe from the trio.

“Don’t move.”

Wang Yun swiftly drew a prop gun, aiming it at the young man. Such guns were commonly held by many prison guards, making them easy to procure.

The guard froze momentarily, his expression turning to one of sheer panic.

Wang Yun approached and struck him on the neck, instantly knocking him out. He was taking care of the few guards who hadn’t had their midnight snack. There were always a few exceptions, but only a minority, totaling just five.

Wang Yun, having already identified them through surveillance, now effortlessly handled them.

Ten minutes later, after dealing with the last guard, all the guards within the entire prison were unconscious.

“666! 666!”

“Staying up late to watch Big Brother’s midnight prison raid. Wow, this is too epic! Damn, did the entire prison really fall under his control now?”

“Big Brother: I was just imprisoned, and by the night’s end, this prison is mine!”

“Big Brother: What? Me, a criminal? No, I am the ruler of this prison.”

“I initially thought Big Brother surrendered to the prison just to evade the chase from the program inspection teams. I never imagined he would take over the entire prison so quickly. Brother Hu and the others might actually jailbreak now!”

“That terrifying hypnosis, together with the drugging, allowed Big Brother to seize control of the entire prison in such a short span. It’s absolutely horrifying!”

In the livestream, all viewers witnessing tonight’s episode were discussing with astonished faces.

This was the definition of awesome.

He was only brought into the prison this evening. And just after midnight, the entire prison now belonged to Wang Yun?

This was a facility renowned for its stringent security, without any incidents for decades, and it was effortlessly taken over.

It was true that the guards were program staff positioned by the production team, and might not be highly skilled. But their alertness surely surpassed that of real prison guards. Because they were aware that if they were stationed in this prison, it was definitely related to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun might enter, potentially to stage a jailbreak. Thus, their internal vigilance was heightened. Yet, they hadn’t anticipated being defeated so quickly. It was clear that Wang Yun’s tactics were beyond terrifying.

The livestream audience was equally astonished.

“Hehe,” Wang Yun chuckled as he navigated through the prison corridor. He held the keys, making his way directly to where Brother Hu and the others had been incarcerated for several days.

When Wang Yun reached their cell, they were already asleep. He used the keys to unlock the door and gently knocked.

“Hmm?”

Brother Hu, startled awake, quickly looked up. Seeing Wang Yun, his eyes widened in disbelief, his face mirroring sheer astonishment.

Brother Hu’s face brightened with excitement, his eyes sparkling.

He whispered, trying to keep his voice down, “Boss, Boss, you came to save us?”

“Yes, get dressed, don’t worry about anything. All the guards monitoring us have been taken out,” Wang Yun reassured with a smile. “Come on, let’s rescue the other brothers as well.”

“Right, Boss, they’re just nearby,” Brother Hu responded, his eyes wide with shock.

“Boss!”

“Boss!”

One by one, the subordinates were freed, their faces alight with excitement.

“Great,” Wang Yun looked at them, a smile gracing his face.

“I plan to recruit some more followers, let’s see how many will agree,” he continued, leading them through the cells.

“Boss, we knew you’d come, so we made some preparations and found a group for you. There’s a group serving life sentences, and another group like us who might face execution. If they have a chance to live and get out, they’re willing to join us and follow your orders,” Brother Hu suddenly spoke up.

His words slightly startled Wang Yun, who looked at him with surprise.

“Oh? You made preparations in advance, how many people?”

“Hehe, Boss, there are thirteen. After all, I, Hu Sanqing, am a selfmade man. I rose up from nothing,” Brother Hu said, laughing.

He clenched his fist, showcasing his prowess.

“???”

“Is this even legal?”

At this moment, viewers in the livestream, witnessing this scene, were wide-eyed in astonishment. Their faces filled with shock, and they bombarded the chat with question marks.

“This?? This?? Wow, Big Brother actually wants to recruit even more followers?”

“My god, Big Brother got in not only to save Brother Hu and the others but also to recruit more followers. Does he want to build a powerful army?”

“I’m totally blown away. Big Brother is just too incredible, right?”

“Wang Yun: As the number of program inspectors continues to rise, well, I might as well recruit some followers too.”

“If Big Brother manages to recruit dozens of followers today, wouldn’t that be insane?”

The audience was abuzz with shock.

No one had anticipated Wang Yun’s ambition to be this grand. Not only aiming to rescue Brother Hu and the others but also to recruit even more followers.

It was madness. Utter madness. Recruiting so many followers, was he planning to take on the program inspection team head-on?

***

“Alright, alright!”

Wang Yun, his eyes gleaming with excitement upon hearing Brother Hu’s words, said, “I’ve checked the information on everyone in the prison. There seems to be quite a few we could recruit. Let’s start with those dozen or so people you mentioned.”

“Yes, Boss,” Brother Hu and the others quickly replied.

They excitedly led Wang Yun to those dozen cells to release the people inside.

“Brother Hu, your boss actually came to rescue you guys. This is the strictest prison in Nancheng. Incredible, Boss, I’m deeply impressed!”

“Boss, Boss, as long as you get me out, I’ll follow you from now on!”

The actors playing the role of criminals started their performance, excitedly addressing Wang Yun.

“Hehe, alright, come with me,” Wang Yun said, after a glance over them.

Since these thirteen had already been won over by Brother Hu, he didn’t need to waste any more time. He led them to a large conference room.

In the room, seventy-seven staff members acting as guards were laid out. On the side, three more stood with vacant looks.

“Change into their uniforms, take all their gear. I have over a hundred spots to fill. Bring all those hundred people over,” Wang Yun handed them a list of information printed in the infirmary.

“Understood, Boss,” Brother Hu and the others responded emphatically, excited to gather people.

Twenty minutes later, in an open area, over a hundred individuals were assembled. Each of them looked at Wang Yun with curiosity and anticipation in their eyes.

“Is everyone here?” Wang Yun asked Brother Hu and the others.

“Boss, everyone’s here. A total of one hundred and three,” Brother Hu promptly replied.

“Excellent,” Wang Yun surveyed the crowd.

“Now, I’m offering you a chance to escape this prison. By the end of today, I can lead you out of here and grant you freedom. However, you must understand one thing. If you leave, you’ll become wanted criminals and might be executed. So, is it better to stay here, toil away your life in this confined space until death, or go out and seek temporary or perhaps lasting freedom? The choice is yours. Anyone willing to take a chance, follow me now. You only get this opportunity once, and I won’t force you. Once outside, you’ll need to follow my orders. The decision is entirely yours,” Wang Yun addressed them directly.

“Boss, I want out. I want to follow you out. I’ve spent eight years here already, and I can’t bear this place any longer!” a middle-aged man declared loudly.

“Boss, I’m also willing to go with you. As long as I can regain my freedom, I’m willing to do anything,” someone at the front called out.

However, at this moment, the voice of the executive producer came through Wang Yun’s tech chip.

“Cough cough, Brother Wang, if I may interject. We anticipated that you’d recruit more subordinates here, so to ensure fairness, we’ve already conducted tests on the actual criminals. The tests were quite accurate. Out of these hundred-plus individuals, only half are willing to take the risk. The other half did not agree, and we’ve prepared a list. Those on this list can become your subordinates. Naturally, Brother Hu and those he’s already persuaded aren’t included on this list,” the executive producer informed Wang Yun.

“That works out well, hand over the list then,” Wang Yun nodded.

The production team had been remarkably fair, preparing well in advance.

“Alright, Brother Wang. You have fifty-five people,” the producer confirmed.

From the group in front, some walked away in disappointment, while others stood excitedly.

“Fifty-five people, plus the nineteen from Brother Hu’s side, that’s exactly seventy-four.”

Wang Yun’s gaze lingered on the fifty-five who remained. He licked his lips, his eyes shimmering with anticipation. Seventy-four subordinates, that was seventy-four individuals. Essentially forming a ‘Five-Star Good Citizen Army.’
