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.

“Start an investigation!”

Malcolm’s face was as pale as a sheet.

“Find out when these soldiers had their meals! If they’re all from the same batch, gather all others who’re on the same batch as them! Pause all outdoor activities and lock all the prisoners back into their cells. Whoever retaliates will be executed immediately. We have to send them all back as soon as possible!”

“Yes, Sir!”

His adjutant turned to leave.

While supporting himself on the table with both hands, Malcolm was sweating profusely from his forehead.
