Chapter 78 Let us see the light, now you want to bring us back to darkness 【Chapter 1 · Request pre-order from pre-order 】 (Ch 78)

Five days.
Mu Shengnan got up from bed, made the bed, folded the quilt, and washed up.
When she did all this, she was stunned. She felt as if she had become accustomed to the life here.
From the unfamiliarity and vigilance on the first day, to the familiar girl Benny taking her to familiarize herself with the environment here.
Three meals a day are all delicious food, without any artificial synthetic food. People have to wash every day, and take a bath once every three days on average.
They had to change and wash their prison uniforms every day, and they had two sets of uniforms available for washing.
There is no beating, no bullying, and no heavy and endless labor.
She couldn’t believe it. This was actually a prison?
This is several times better than the treatment she received in the 24th Fleet of the Alliance!
“Commander…” Several female prisoners who had just washed walked in and respectfully greeted Mu Shengnan who was sitting on the bed in a daze.
Mu Shengnan looked at these female soldiers who had followed her. She said self-deprecatingly, “Don’t call me that. There are no commanders here, only prisoners.”
The female prisoners didn’t say much, returned to their beds and began to pack their things.
Mu Shengnan looked at them and found that they had smiles on their faces. They no longer had the desperate expressions they had before, and there was a hint of light in their eyes.
Mu Shengnan even felt that they seemed to be happier than when they were in the Alliance’s 24th Fleet.
“Sister Shengnan, it’s almost our dormitory’s turn to eat. Today we have delicious white steamed buns, and everyone can get a meat bun!” Benny walked in excitedly at this time.
Because of her good performance, Beni is now the deputy monitor of this dormitory and directly manages three female prisoners including Mu Shengnan.
But Benny was not arrogant at all. She became familiar with Mu Shengnan in the past five days. However, she didn’t know that this sister, who had the same status as her but was older than her, was once a one-star general.
Mu Shengnan knew about Benny’s past and felt very sympathetic towards female interstellar soldiers like her. The two had a very good relationship.
“Yeah.” Mu Shengnan nodded.
The two women walked together through the spacious and clean corridor of the prison area.
The corridor was incredibly clean, with no garbage or bad smells, even cleaner than the bridge of her fleet’s starship.
This is of course because the dormitory cleaning is arranged every day, and the toilets in the dormitory are also cleaned every day, so the environment is very good.
Walking into the huge restaurant, there were dozens of queuing windows, and all the female prisoners were waiting obediently to receive their food.
Here, they are all very honest, maybe there will be some troublemakers at the beginning.
But soon these troublemakers will be taken out and locked up in a small dark room, where they can only eat synthetic vegetables; if they commit the offense a second time, they will be sent directly to the prison area on other starships.
So here, as long as you are not a stupid person, no one will cause trouble. After all, as long as you behave yourself, you can eat food that is better than when you were serving in the army, and you can also sleep in a clean dormitory.
Mu Shengnan and Benny came to the back of a queue together. The female soldiers in the front noticed Mu Shengnan behind and prepared to let Mu Shengnan get the meal first.
But Mu Shengnan stopped him with her eyes.
“Sister Shengnan, I found that the female prisoners who came with you seem to be very afraid of you? Were you a non-commissioned officer before?” Benny asked curiously.
“Well, in the previous fleet, I was a non-commissioned officer.” Mu Shengnan did not lie, but did not say that this non-commissioned officer was a fleet commander.
Because no one was causing trouble and everyone was very honest, the process was very efficient and it was soon their turn to receive food.
Two white steamed buns, a meat bun, and a bowl of rice porridge.
In Sun He’s eyes, this might be a very simple food, but in front of these female prisoners, it was like a delicacy, and it was just breakfast for the day.
Mu Shengnan and Beni found a seat and sat down with their plates.
“This meat smells so good!” Benny took a bite of the meat bun, and her mouth was full of oil.
Mu Shengnan also took a bite, and the aroma of meat filled her taste buds. Although she was once a fleet commander, her upright character made her always eat the same food as the female soldiers in the fleet.
Even her most popular Alliance Fleet, the 24th, ate synthetic vegetables for most of the month, but the portions were just enough to fill them up.
Generally, they can eat a bowl of vegetable porridge once a week, but most of it is water, and every female soldier looks forward to such a delicious meal every month.
But here, they can eat it every day.
“This white steamed bun is really delicious.”
“I’m willing to stay here forever, living like this.”
“Yeah, this isn’t a prison area at all, it feels like heaven!”
The female prisoners around were sighing, including Mu Shengnan’s female soldiers.
Mu Shengnan looked at the food in her hand. She had many questions in her mind. Why?
Why did the fleet commander offer such high living conditions to the prisoners?
And with so many people demanding such good living conditions, the daily financial expenditure is a huge number.
The most important thing is, if these prisoners can be treated so well, what about the female soldiers serving in the army?
“Benny, what do you think of life here?” Mu Shengnan asked Benny beside her thoughtfully.
Without thinking, Bernie answered, “Heaven! It’s a pity that my sister is not here, but I am already very satisfied to be like this. I never thought that living could be such an enjoyable thing.”
Can living be an enjoyable thing?
This statement is a bit ironic. In this era, it is quite difficult for most people to just survive, let alone enjoy life.
Mu Shengnan was expecting Beni’s answer.
Because Benny’s performance in the prison is quite excellent, she cleans every day and goes to bed on time. If we have to choose the best female prisoner, it must be Benny.
Hush, hush, hush. Just at this moment, a shrill whistle sounded, and the warden came out.
“Hurry up, we have an emergency meeting in ten minutes, eat quickly.”
Emergency assembly?
All the female prisoners were stunned. This was their first emergency assembly since they arrived here.
Mu Shengnan frowned. She had a very uneasy feeling. She knew that there was no free lunch in this world. There must be some secret behind such good treatment.
“Sister Shengnan, what is the purpose of this gathering? Is it because we were disobedient?” At this time, Beni didn’t even bother to eat the white steamed bun in front of her. She looked at Mu Shengnan nervously, her little hands clenched tightly.
Mu Shengnan didn’t know how to comfort Benny because she didn’t know what would happen next. Sometimes the unknown is often more terrifying.
“Don’t be afraid, nothing will happen.” Mu Shengnan could only comfort Benny in this way, because she herself was just a prisoner.
Ten minutes later, they lined up and walked out of the prison area. Finally, they were gathered in a huge empty hangar, which was equivalent to a football field.
Mu Shengnan took a quick look and saw that most of them were from her fleet.
Could it be that all the sisters in my fleet were sold here?
In fact, she didn’t know much about being sold this time. She only knew that they were supposed to be sent to the mine to work, but were sent here halfway.
And from what that damn woman said, she was sold to a man.
But she had never seen this so-called man from beginning to end.
“Everyone sit down where you are. Don’t make any noise.” Following the warden’s order, everyone sat on the ground.
When Mu Shengnan sat down, she heard footsteps, the sound of military boots hitting the ground.
Mu Shengnan subconsciously raised her head and saw a man.
That’s the man who bought me!
Although she only saw the man’s back when she was sent here, her intuition told her that this was the man.
He was wearing a straight black military uniform, was over 1.80 meters tall, and had a determined face.
The aura of a superior on him made Mu Shengnan stunned for a few seconds.
Behind this man, there were four or five women. Judging from the military uniforms they were wearing, they should all hold high positions.
Sun He walked straight to a high platform built in the center.
“Commander, all 12,763 female prisoners in the prison area have gathered. Please give instructions.” The district chief stood next to Sun He.
“Well, you go down first.” Sun He turned around and looked at the female soldiers in front of him.
This was the first time in Sun He’s life and the previous life that he was stared at by so many women.
The average age of the women is around 23 years old.
And because of the good times on the Phoenix-class aircraft carrier starship during this period, their faces are glowing and their complexions are very good.
“Let me introduce myself, Sun He, the commander of the Qingyuan Fleet.”
“Among you are captives surrendered by the fleet I defeated in the battle, and female prisoners I bought. You have also lived with me for a period of time.
But I won’t raise you for so long in vain, and I don’t like boring things like killing prisoners.
After that, I will arrange a transport ship to take you away to the nearest planet or starport, and you will be free from now on. “When Sun He said this, he paused deliberately.
His words immediately caused a huge uproar among these female prisoners.
Send them away?
Maybe they longed for freedom before, but now they like life here more.
Three ‘sumptuous’ meals a day and a clean living environment.
These are things they didn’t have before.
“I don’t want to leave! I don’t want to leave! I would rather die than leave here!” A female prisoner suddenly stood up and screamed like crazy, and was pressed to the ground by two female soldiers next to her.
Despite this, the female prisoner still sobbed: “I… I don’t want to leave. I lived in the slums before, without food, without water, and at that time I didn’t even have a bed to sleep on.
They have to fight with the beasts on the planet for food, and have to be on guard against others at all times in order to find a place to live.
Then I joined the army… I could only sleep four hours a day and had only one meal of awful synthetic vegetables. I thought that kind of life was the paradise I could touch, until I came here…”
The female prisoner raised her head, staring at Sun He with bloodshot eyes and anger: “Since you are sending us away, why, why are you still so nice to us!
Why do we have to experience such a life, give us clean beds, give us clean food, give us clean water!
Let us…see the light…and now are sending us back to darkness…”
Sun He looked at the female prisoners in front of him with a calm expression. At this moment, some of the more than 10,000 female prisoners present were out of control, some had already started crying, and some even had the same situation as this female prisoner, but they were all controlled by the female soldiers.
ps: I’ve been really tired these past two days, with all the things going on during the holidays. I should be able to post three or four more chapters today, but it will probably be very late, so everyone should take a rest first and read it tomorrow morning.
I will update more after the holiday. My apologies everyone.
