Prison Intern

Most departments in the Federal Government offer lucrative positions, but the Federal Prison system, especially for lower-level guards, doesn't have much in the way of perks. Because of this, these types of jobs are basically in a state of perpetual recruitment, and even the intern positions allocated by the Federal Military Academy are consistently ignored.

When Gu Ding appeared at the Deep Sea Star branch of Heaven River Prison with his resume, the prison's human resources department was somewhat surprised.

Although his resume only listed experience working part-time at a bar, Gu Ding had accumulated a considerable number of awards at school. Naturally, the Deep Sea Star branch of Heaven River Prison wouldn't refuse such an excellent student. After reviewing Gu Ding's information from the Military Academy and confirming the authenticity of his resume, the prison's human resources department took less than five minutes to submit Gu Ding's resume to the warden.

Old Henry, the warden, was reviewing the information of prisoners who had been admitted in the past few days. A series of actions by the Federal Government's military department in recent days had caused the number of prisoners to increase at a rate comparable to the total over the past three years combined. Old Henry rubbed his throbbing head and glanced at the email from the human resources department that suddenly popped up on his office screen. "An email from HR? Did they recruit someone new?"

The recent increase in the number of prisoners had led to a severe shortage of guards in the prison, and Old Henry had been struggling to find people.

Clicking open Gu Ding's resume in the email, Old Henry's eyes lit up. Gu Ding's background clearly indicated his ability to enter a higher military academy. Graduates from higher military academies were all officers, and if their performance was outstanding, they could even enter special organizations for deeper training. Old Henry was more than happy to have such a promising student apply for an intern position. If Gu Ding did well in the future, the Deep Sea Star Prison could also benefit.

These intern positions were originally always vacant, and the intern's salary was only half that of a regular employee. Places like prisons didn't have a very generous budget.

After reading the resume, Old Henry made a decision in less than a minute. Gu Ding even skipped the interview and directly became a member of Heaven River Prison.

When he received the notification, Gu Ding was slightly surprised. He had originally thought there would be a written test and a physical fitness test, and it would take at least an afternoon to get a response.

After receiving his guard ID card, an experienced guard took Gu Ding to the monitoring room. He spent a few minutes explaining the locations of the various areas and some points to note, then left Gu Ding alone in the monitoring room to familiarize himself with the environment. He left in a hurry after receiving a call, instructing Gu Ding to notify everyone immediately if he saw any abnormal images on the monitors.

Normally, someone would be on duty in the monitoring room. The situation in the past few days was indeed very special; almost everyone was busy receiving new prisoners and handling other tasks, and no one had the leisure to waste time here. The old guard leaving Gu Ding here was actually to have him stay and guard against special circumstances. However, he had no idea that Gu Ding's entry was for a completely different purpose.

Gu Ding looked around and saw no one. He had Sea Emperor hack the only camera in the monitoring room and smoothly connected Sea Emperor to the Heaven River Prison network.

In just a few seconds, all the information from the Heaven River Prison headquarters and its two hundred and forty-nine branches was laid bare before Sea Emperor.

"Where is that Prisson?" Gu Ding already had a complete plan in mind.

"He's on Lan Wo Star. There's a minor glitch in the prison system there. He's nominally there as a supervisor, but he's actually there to chase girls. Lan Wo Star is currently holding a 'Most Beautiful Miss' competition. However, he has booked an intergalactic transfer to Deep Sea Star for tomorrow morning." After connecting to the Heaven River Prison network, nothing within the prison could escape Sea Emperor's detection.

"A minor glitch? Let's turn it into a major one. Preferably the kind that allows prisoners to escape directly from the prison." A hint of cunning flashed in Gu Ding's eyes.

"I can also plant some spreadable viruses. The more chaotic it is, the more opportunities we'll have," Sea Emperor wasn't afraid of making a big fuss.

"That's what I was thinking too," Gu Ding grinned.

The virus spread by Sea Emperor was extremely stealthy. By the time the Lan Wo Star prison system's self-check discovered it, more than half of the prison system's areas were already infected.

The two network maintenance personnel had no idea what to do. The prison system was an internal network, isolated from the civilian network. Therefore, being infected by a virus was extremely rare. The main job of the prison's network maintenance personnel was usually just to download system patches sent from headquarters and then send a one or two-sentence work log to headquarters every day. They didn't really understand technical work. Faced with this situation, both of them completely panicked.

However, before the two could report the situation to the warden, the warden of Lan Wo Star kicked open the door of their office with a furious expression. "What are you two doing? Why have more than half of the monitoring screens in the monitoring room turned into yellow videos!"

"Warden, the system has a virus!" the two replied with tearful faces.

"Why are you only telling me now!" The warden was not satisfied with this answer.

"We just discovered it..."

In less than ten minutes, the Lan Wo Star prison system was completely overrun by the virus, and the system crashed. Sea Emperor secretly unlocked all the prison checkpoints and restraint equipment, and the entire prison instantly fell into a state of complete chaos.

At the "Most Beautiful Miss" competition venue, Prisson was happily shaking his crossed legs. In less than ten minutes, he would be able to hold the Most Beautiful Miss's little hand and have a good time at the hotel.

Just then, Prisson's communication ring flashed. He frowned and answered the call.

"Lord Prisson, there's a serious system failure at the prison. Please hurry back. We really can't hold on and have to notify headquarters. It will be troublesome if the Chief Warden knows you're not here."

"Damn it!" Prisson cursed after hanging up the call, but he had to leave. As a deputy warden from headquarters, his mission to the Lan Wo Star branch this time was originally to supervise. Now that the system failure had become serious, the branch had to report to headquarters. If the Chief Warden knew he wasn't at the prison supervising, that rigid old man would surely scold him severely.

Prisson reluctantly returned to the prison and was completely stunned by what he saw. He had originally thought it was just a system failure, but he hadn't expected the entire prison to be in complete chaos. He had been in Heaven River Prison for over twenty years, and this was the first time he had seen such a massive riot with the system completely malfunctioning. He was also a little panicked.

Inside the prison, there was hardly a single alarm that wasn't blaring. The sprinklers on the roof were spraying water everywhere, and the doors to all the passages were wide open. A group of criminals had already stormed into the monitoring room and the office building where the prison guards were located, while those with some intelligence had immediately found the exits and escaped.

Seeing the images transmitted back from the cameras, Gu Ding had a mischievous grin on his face.

It wasn't just Lan Wo Star; the virus quickly spread to other planets through the Heaven River Prison network. In less than half an hour, it had infected not only the Heaven River Prison headquarters but also over eighty branch facilities.

The virus created by Sea Emperor was highly targeted. It would hide itself upon entering a system, and by the time the system's self-check detected it, the system was already on the verge of collapse. After the system completely crashed, Sea Emperor unlocked all prison checkpoints and restraint devices, triggered the alarms, turned on the sprinklers, and created all sorts of chaos.

On Deep Sea Star's side, seeing that the time was about right, Gu Ding said to Sea Emperor, "Initiate the virus invasion on the Deep Sea Star branch!"
