Chapter 1076 Enter the Warehouse (2/2)

consideration of human rights, claiming that prisoners were kept under good conditions

and could freely exercise, read and study.

Obviously, the reality was not so pretty.

When Li Du mentioned this to the cooks, they laughed. ”Some would say that enjoying

human rights is too good for criminals.”

A cook showed him the frozen meat he pulled out of the freezer. The meat was stored

in a cardboard box. The cook pointed to the box, and Li Du looked at the cover. ”Not

For Human Consumption” was printed across it in bold letters.

Four people, including Li Du, gathered in the kitchen that day and worked alongside the

cooks and prison guards. Li Du and his gang made themselves useful, but the next day

their labor was rejected by the kitchen.

The reason the cooks gave was that they had already learned how to make noodles,

but Li Du knew it was because of Godzilla's tendency to demolish every morsel of food

in sight, including the sausages that the cooks themselves were supposed to have had.

Nevertheless, Li Du instructed the cooks how to make noodles, and got the praise of the

prison guards.

The prisoners were overjoyed when the noodles were served for lunch that day.

They did not like to eat mushy, slippery noodles. Fried instant noodles tasted good and

had plenty of calories. A portion of noodles along with a glass of water would give a

certain fullness, which was an advantage over most other prison food.

That was why instant noodles, known as cheap street food in China, had become so

popular in prisons, replacing cigarettes as the inner currency.

After one day in prison, Li Du acknowledged the power of instant noodles, which

prisoners exchanged for food, clothing, hygiene products and even services such as

laundry or making beds.

Noodles were also used as a bargaining chip in card or football games.

It was a pity that Li Du had no interest in this as a business venture. If he did, he could

set up an instant noodle factory and make a lot of money by supplying cheap instant

noodles to prisons.

What made it somewhat more bearable for Li Du was the fact that the guards gave him

a list of jobs to choose from for the next day.

Prison jobs were all about cleaning, kitchen work, garbage disposal, toilets,

warehouses, pest control, menial administrative tasks, etc.

The kitchen work was out of the question, but Li Du's eyes lit up when he saw the

possibility of a warehouse job. This was his old career, after all, and he and his

companions happily volunteered for it.

The prison guard saw that they were interested and said, ”The most important thing

when you enter the warehouse is to keep your hands and feet clean. Don't even think

about stealing anything. If you do, you would not be prosecuted, but the consequences

would be… unpleasant.”

Li Du nodded his head in understanding.

He hoped that if the guard he had bribed made the phone calls he asked him to, their

friends would find a way to get them out.

However, he did not get any information about this so far. For now, he had to find a way

to survive in prison. The most important thing right now was to clean the warehouse.

The prison warehouse in Miami was a sprawling collection of low-rise, factory-style

buildings behind four residential buildings.

As he opened the warehouse door, Li Du was a little surprised. There were too many

things inside!
