The Legendary Man

Chapter 579 No Exit

“What?” The cigarette Malcolm held dropped onto the floor after he heard the report from his subordinate. Even Hayes, who was beside him, stood up with a solemn look on his face.

There were around twenty-four thousand prisoners in all of Northern Crimson Prison. Including logistic units, the fifteen thousand soldiers stationed there were constantly on high alert, ready for battle.

With a troop like that, the place ought to be highly secure. The military hospital would be mobilized if there were a case of food poisoning of a hundred or two hundred people among the troops stationed at any other normal site.

On the contrary, large-scale food poisoning would never happen in Northern Crimson Prison. Due to the prison’s unique strategic importance, the food provisions there were screened multiple times. Every step from planting, harvesting, shipping, and storage, was under strict surveillance.

After all, the prison was a supply terminal for the Mysonna Army. To put it bluntly, Northern Crimson Prison was like a small township and a logistical hub for the whole Mysonna Army.

For a place like that, even a case of food poisoning would be considered severe, let alone dozens of them.
