241 Chapter: 241
If Baymax were to know that Star-Lord is scheming and contemplating some strange ideas, it would undoubtedly decisively prevent the continuation of these actions and sternly admonish Star-Lord, saying, "Captain, using your brain is not suitable for you. For your own safety, don't indulge in fantasies anymore."
Unfortunately, even for an intelligent robot like Baymax, currently, there is no way to read people's inner thoughts, so it doesn't know what Star-Lord is thinking right now.
Moreover, Baymax is not as silent as it appears on the surface. While seemingly following the others quietly, it is secretly using all its computational power to scan and analyze the entire Kyln prison, devising the safest and most effective prison break plan.
The Kyln prison is extremely vast, and after walking through long corridors, the group finally arrives at the last checkpoint before entering the prison—the decontamination chamber.
Here, they will undergo a final body check to ensure that they are not carrying any personal belongings.
After the inspection, newly incarcerated inmates need to be stripped bare by the prison guards, undergo a full-body rinse with a special disinfectant, and put on the prison-provided inmate uniform to ensure they don't carry deadly bacteria that could threaten the safety of others inside the prison.
This is precisely the reason why Star-Lord fears being captured by the Nova Corps. Reflecting on the last time he was arrested and imprisoned for theft, Star-Lord can't help but feel that his life is about to become even more dreary.
"I have to endure such humiliation again," Star-Lord wipes away tears in the dressing room after the decontamination process, and Baymax comforts him by patting his back.
Rocket, who has just been through the same process, rolls his eyes at Star-Lord's emotional display. For someone like Rocket, who has been imprisoned 22 times and successfully escaped 22 times, all of this is just routine.
As Rocket had predicted, as soon as Gamora sets foot in the prison area, she faces threats and hatred from all the inmates. They look at her as if they want to tear her apart, very menacingly.
"Gamora, you scum, just wait and see! You're as good as dead! Do you hear me? You're as good as dead!" From their words, it's evident that Gamora's situation here is going to be extremely dire.
"I told you, almost everyone in here wants her dead. She won't last a day," Rocket shrugs, somewhat smug about his correct prediction.
"Will the guards protect her?" Star-Lord asks with concern, unsure if he's feeling sympathy or some other emotion.
Rocket raises an eyebrow in response, "Their role is only to prevent us from escaping. They don't care if we kill each other inside the prison.
And do you think only these inmates want this woman dead in the prison? Some of the Nova Corps have a deep blood feud with her and Ronan. They didn't personally come because they didn't want to dirty their hands."
"No matter how bleak the future may be, compared to my past, it's nothing," regardless of Star-Lord's compassion or Rocket's schadenfreude, it doesn't matter to Gamora. She can face the challenges ahead with composure.
For her, if there is no hope of escaping from this current life, even death is not such an unacceptable outcome.
Star-Lord doesn't know what happened to Gamora that made her so accustomed to pushing people away. But her display of strength and stubbornness inadvertently struck a chord in him.
Before he could fully savor this feeling, he was suddenly embraced by a tall, muscular alien.
This alien had blue skin and looked like a hairless hamster. His expression was quite theatrical as he lightly caressed Star-Lord's cheek with his fingers, saying, "Look at you, so charming. I want to cover you in jam and savor you... Oh!"
Before this extraterrestrial could continue being arrogant, Groot stepped forward, inserting two of his fingers into the alien's nostrils and using his control over plant growth to extend them further into the alien's body.
"Listen carefully, you scum in this prison. This Earthling who may seem foolish is the money tree of both of us brothers!
If any of you want to harm him, you'll have to go through us first. Or, to put it bluntly—we'll take care of you!" Rocket stood in front of Star-Lord, just as he had said in the corridor. He appeared fierce and dominant in front of the group of inmates, asserting their power and warding off potential trouble with his threatening words.
Seeing Rocket and Groot's display, Star-Lord, who had been initially scared, felt assured and told the surrounding inmates, "I'm under their protection!"
Then he followed closely behind Rocket and Groot, afraid of being left alone. At the same time, he glanced at Baymax behind him, seemingly blaming it for not rushing out to protect its captain at the first moment.
Baymax, on the other hand, looked innocent, explaining that it was fully calculating a safe escape plan and couldn't anticipate this situation. Even if it knew in advance, without its battle armor assistance, it would have no way to pose a threat to that alien brute. Its lightweight inflatable body significantly weakened its punch.
Star-Lord and Baymax followed behind Rocket and Groot, heading towards the male prisoners' cells. Meanwhile, Gamora entered the separate cell block reserved for female inmates, under the watchful and menacing eyes of the other prisoners.
Unnoticed by anyone in the prison's common hall, there was a person who remained silent, but his gaze had been fixed on Gamora from the moment she appeared. This person not only had a notorious reputation in the Kyln prison but also throughout the entire galaxy.
He was the most dangerous individual in the galaxy known as "The Destroyer"—Drax.
