Chapter 950: Chapter 307: Shenchu City, Greed Wolf Prison (Part 2)
In Shenchu City, every Martial Artist has only one identity, and that is a prisoner.
Because of this, Shenchu City deters those who have not yet committed a crime but have criminal intentions, making them afraid to commit crimes.
At critical moments, the existence of Shenchu City can also halt criminal actions.
Sometimes the role of deterrence is more important than punishment; it is the necessary power to maintain societal stability.
Thirdly, there’s reform.
Being imprisoned doesn’t necessarily mean one is heinously evil; some people commit crimes perhaps out of desperation.
No matter the crime, except for death row prisoners, from the moment you step into prison, while atoning for your sins, you also have the opportunity to reform.
Many Martial Artists have repented in this Prison City.
When they return, they may even become invaluable talents.
Of course, for those stubborn and unrepentant Martial Artists who have been incarcerated multiple times, Shenchu City has no other option but to send them to the Shuijing expedition repeatedly.
...
After getting off the vehicle, Su Yue underwent several inspections.
Perhaps Grand General Duan Yuandi had notified them, so Su Yue was only repeatedly checked for his identity and not his belongings.
Su Yue observed carefully.
Even the Major General who returned with him was similarly checked three times for identity.
The formidable defenses of Shenchu City can be imagined.
Indeed, this place is worthy of being Divine Land’s most impregnable Prison City.
"The inspection procedures in Shenchu City are a bit over the top, don’t get annoyed, Su Yue, you’ll be in soon,"
Fifth-Grade Commander said apologetically.
"It’s fine; being strict is good, it’s responsible to the people!"
Su Yue nodded.
To be honest, even with Su Yue’s current disposition, he could feel a certain somberness in Shenchu City.
It seems to have a very special oppressive force.
Whether it’s the pitch-black walls, the cold and icy displays, or the Shenchu Corps Legion Martial Artists with their fierce expressions, all exude an immense oppressive force.
One can only imagine the enormous psychological pressure the prisoners here endure.
It’s a good place for reforming criminals.
Thus, carrying the Vermilion Extreme Cloud Platform, Su Yue walked into the interior of Shenchu City.
Though named a city, Shenchu City isn’t as large as an ordinary city, with places for recreation and row upon row of prisoner rooms within.
Because prisoners need to head to Shuijing, there are many hospitals in Shenchu City.
The arrangement of prisoner rooms is also calculated based on their merit points in Shuijing.
If you have many merits, you can live in a decent single room with game consoles, television, and various magazines and newspapers to read.
Also, prisoners can earn redemption points when in the Shuijing.
Redemption points can be used to buy anything in Shenchu City, enjoy feasts, buy elixirs, go online to play games, and even buy opportunities to contact family members.
In Su Yue’s understanding, redemption points function similarly to academic credits.
Money, academic credits, redemption points.
All are ways to gain recognition from the world and passports to enjoy privileges.
Indeed, everywhere is filled with competition.
In Su Yue’s childhood concept, ordinary people just lazed around in prison all day.
In retrospect, it’s simply impossible.
The country can’t afford to support too many idlers.
"Su Yue, do you plan to rest for a day first, or go straight to the Shuijing?"
The Major General asked.
In Shenchu City, apart from the prison cells and the Shenchu Corps barracks, there’s also a guesthouse where visitors from outside Shenchu City can stay.
"No need, I’ll go to the Shuijing directly!"
Su Yue nodded.
This place is so grim; Su Yue finds it even more uncomfortable than the Shuijing.
"That’s better, Shenchu City doesn’t have much to offer for hospitality!"
With that, the Major General led Su Yue to a very heavy steel gate.
This is the largest gate Su Yue has ever seen, without exception.
"Shenchu City’s Wet Ghost Tower is different from other cities, this city itself is a Wet Ghost Tower!
"This Confession Gate is the only barrier between Shenchu City and the Shuijing!"
The Major General explained.
"What if foreign tribes break through the Confession Gate, don’t we have any buffer zone?"
Su Yue was astonished.
In other cities, the Wet Ghost Tower and fortresses built in the Shuijing serve as buffer zones, allowing Martial Artists to defend within them.
But here, Shenchu City only has this one city gate, if breached, it’s all over.
"Buffer?
"This city itself is the buffer, if foreign tribes invade, every person in Shenchu City, whether prisoners or Shenchu City’s Martial Artists, can only fight to the death.
"To completely destroy Shenchu City would take a long time, enough for the Military Department to send forces to expel the foreign tribes.
"Criminal Martial Artists must be on the frontline, while Shenchu City’s Martial Artists have an unshrinkable duty.
"Shenchu City suppresses the most dangerous battleground, it’s our mission!"
The Major General explained further.
"Who is Shenchu City’s opponent?"
Su Yue asked with a furrowed brow.
After numerous battles, Su Yue had gained some understanding of the forces distributed in the Shuijing.
...
Eight Races Sacred Land.
That is the highest sacred land of Shuijing, home to the esteemed Peak Race Venerable and their descendants, along with some powerful Ninth Grades.
The Eight Races Sacred Land is also the area with the best living environment in Shuijing.
Rich in Spiritual Qi, the air isn’t as corrosive, and it doesn’t make Martial Artists constantly uncomfortable.
This is the noble land of the Shuijing Eight Races.
And on the outskirts of the Eight Races Sacred Land, many protective cities are established.
