The huge circular fortress looked extremely high-tech from the outside. Its completely sealed dome made it seem more like some classified Research Base than a prison. Its reinforced metal walls and layers of overlapping defensive barriers made it impregnable. Sneaking in from outside would be difficult, and even blasting through with an artifact might not get them inside quickly.
Hong Shi had already explained the plan, though: someone would meet them at one entrance. A few people needed to get inside first and cause a disturbance, then the others could enter through an emergency exit.
Judging by the defensive barriers, Punishment City didn't completely block artifacts. It was also far from any densely populated part of the city, so even if something happened, ordinary people were unlikely to be caught up in it. This setup strongly suggested there wouldn't be any blocking devices.
Everyone felt a little more at ease. In the end, a three-person team consisting of Xu Huo, Lei Xiaohe, and a female Player disguised themselves as inmates and infiltrated the prison.
The neck rings and wristbands used to restrict Players had been tampered with in advance. Their spider Locks couldn't be opened, and their high-voltage mechanisms had also been disabled. They only looked like normal restraint devices, so as long as the inspectors turned a blind eye, they wouldn't be found out.
The aircraft they were riding in stopped at a dedicated inspection chamber. Robots from the enforcement team came over to inspect their neck rings and wristbands, as well as assess their physical condition.
"Neck rings and wristbands operational. All three prisoners are unconscious. Their breathing and heart rates are consistent with the effects of anesthetic, and they are not carrying any artifacts or other devices." After the robot announced the results, the checkpoint let them
