Chapter 1: Waking Up is Hell
If there was only one minute left in your life, would you regret what you did in this life?
When life comes to an end, we always blame ourselves for making too many wrong choices in our lives, but when we start again, we still make the same choices as before, because we can never change our hearts.
"You're working overtime today", "You're fired", "When are you paying your rent", "Housing prices are going up again", "Let's break up"......
We achieve our goals in a fast-paced life, and we work hard towards our goals, although we are crushed by reality again and again, we still don't stop, but we forget to look up at the scenery along the road.
This bridge is so magnificent! The sky is so blue! The sea is so cold~ so deep~ It's a pity that I didn't find it until now, and I won't see it again!
Her name is in a dream, life is like a dream and a fog, a dream that is still at ease when fate is born!
"Hey, is it 110, there was a car accident, and there was a car on the bridge that went directly into Tenghai, yes! The address is Tengmu Bridge."
With such deep waters, no one should be able to find me!
"Help me—" In a scream, Yu Meng finally woke up, but everything changed.
A woman hurriedly walked to Yu Meng's bedside, her name was Lin Qian. She looks very good, dressed in plain clothes, a symbol can be faintly seen on the clothes, like a slave character, she holds a hot towel in her hand to help Yu Meng gently wipe her cheeks, "You're finally awake!"
"Who are you?" Yu Meng grabbed Lin Qian's hand, "Where is this?" She didn't know her, and this was not her room, such a simple wooden house, except for three small beds, there was only a dressing room separated by a cloth curtain, a stove that needed to burn wood, and a water tank.
At this time, a man walked in from outside the door and said with a smile: "You have been sleeping for almost two days, you are sleeping." If you don't know me Dong Hao, forget it, why don't you even remember Lin Qian?"
His name is Dong Hao, and one side of his face has festered, as if he has been corroded by some poison.
Yu Meng also seemed to feel the aura of danger, everything here was unusual, she had too many questions to ask them, and was about to speak, but there was a sudden movement outside the door, Lin Qian immediately covered Yu Meng's mouth, and her eyes signaled her to continue pretending to be asleep, Yu Meng didn't know what was going on, but she could only do it.
"Isn't he awake yet? If he doesn't wake up tonight, just throw it into the sea and feed the fish," a rough voice filled the room.
"She's—she should wake up tonight," Lin Qian whispered, and from her muttered words, it was clear that she was afraid of the man.
With a heavy closing of the door, Yu Meng opened his eyes again and looked at the entire room. "What did that man do just now, why did you tell me to pretend to be asleep?"
"He's the martial boss, the manager of our slave district. If he finds out that you are awake, he will immediately arrange to go to the mining area, and if you are tired to death, who will take me to the master?"
Yu Meng propped up the bed with both hands, as if he had to use all his strength to sit up, and finally with the help of Lin Qian, he sat up and leaned against the wall.
"Is this some kind of prank? Variety show? Filming? I'm telling you it's not fun at all, you didn't have my consent, I'm going to call the police!"
Lin Qian and Dong Hao didn't know what Yu Meng was talking about, and they didn't care, they just felt that she had a fever and was confused, "Get up and eat something, I have to go to the mining area in the afternoon."
"Mining area, what mining area?" Yu Meng became more and more puzzled in his heart, looking at their appearance, this was not some show playing pranks, and he was even more scared in his heart.
"Don't we slaves have to go to collect energy mines for our masters every day?" Lin Qian touched Yu Meng's forehead to confirm that her fever had subsided, and there should be no problem with her brain!"
Slaves? What age, and slaves! Yu Meng was a little stunned and said: "What slaves, what mines? Borrow my mobile phone, I want to call the police!"
"How do we slaves have any mobile phones, what do you mean by calling the police? How do you wake up and say something we don't understand?"
Yu Meng suddenly became a little emotional and wanted to get out of bed and go out. As soon as she exerted her strength, she felt a tingling pain on her body, and she uncovered her quilt and clothes, and her arms and legs were covered with bruises from the whip.
Lin Qian looked at Yu Meng's surprised expression, and said casually: "It's normal to have injuries here, it's a great luck not to die" After speaking, she took a small bowl of white rice porridge and handed it to Yu Meng.
It is said that it is white rice porridge, it is better to say that it is white water porridge, there are only a handful of rice grains in it, Yu Meng took the white rice porridge, Xu was in a coma for a long time, and she was very hungry, and she didn't care if it was poisonous or not, and drank it in one gulp.
After resting for a while, with the support of Lin Qian and Dong Hao, he finally got out of bed, and his strength was slowly recovering, but the scars on his body were still a little tearing and painful with the force.
Walking at the door, Lin Qian and Dong Hao put on a mask one after another, and only their noses, eyes and mouths were exposed on their faces, seeing Yu Mengxing walking outside, Lin Qian hurriedly stopped her: "You don't want to die, don't wear any masks" Yu Meng turned around and locked his brows, looking at them all wearing masks, his eyes were full of all kinds of doubts.
"Why do you wear a mask?"
"Slaves don't have the right to go out with their true faces," Lin Qian handed a mask to Yu Mengdao.
Yu Meng sighed, thinking that I want to see what you are doing, so he obediently put on a mask.
Lin Qian pushed open the door, a ray of sunlight sprinkled on the faces of these three people, but the sun was not warm, but cold and biting, the sea water slapped the rocks, the sea breeze howled wantonly, Yu Meng was blown by the wind and squinted her eyes and looked around, she had determined that this was an island far away from the coastline, and there was a sign hanging at the door of each house, and there were some symbols on the signs, she had never seen this kind of symbol, but she seemed to know the meaning of these symbols.
"Is it the word No. 5 slave?" Yu Meng asked Lin Qian curiously.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"No... It's okay!" Yu Meng suddenly realized that their language was not her mother tongue, the strange thing was that she could understand it, and she could speak their language, and there was no barrier to communication at all!
Where the hell is this? Her head suddenly hurt, Yu Meng shook her head, and the picture of the car accident was blurred in her mind! I had a car accident! Am I dead? Is this hell?
"Why are you stunned, and you want to be lazy?" A man scolded, pushing Lin Qian's back hard.
"Wu... Boss Wu..."Lin Qian turned around and said cautiously. Yu Meng turned his head to look at the man, his eyes looked up and down on him, everyone called him the martial boss, burly, although he was wearing an outer coat, he could still see the strong and developed muscle outline in the clothes, his skin was dark, he was holding a short whip, and his voice was thick, everyone looked trembling when they saw him.
"What do you see, why don't you go and do things quickly, after sleeping for so many days, it's fortunate that you woke up, otherwise you would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish," said Boss Wu with a whip pointing at Yu Meng. Lin Qian hurriedly pulled Yu Meng's arm and walked forward quickly, Yu Meng also knew that he couldn't fight, so the person in front of him rolled his eyes and continued to follow Lin Qian.
This island is heavily guarded, and all of them are armed with guns and uniformly dressed, Yu Meng shook his head and sneered, the society is developing so fast, even the messengers of hell have begun to use guns!
"How long do you have to go?" Yu Meng asked Lin Qian beside him in a low voice.
"It's almost there through the woods ahead," Lin Qian whispered.
"What is the mine here for?"
"What are you for??!You're so stupid!" Lin Qian looked at Yu Meng strangely and continued: "The energy mine is a well-known ore, the source of all electrical energy, and all the ores, including our slaves, belong to the master!"
Yu Meng frowned, his heart was already full of mixed feelings, "Didn't anyone resist or run away? Why should you be a slave? Controlling personal freedom is illegal!" Yu Meng said as he looked at the thousands of people behind him, wearing masks, like walking corpses, burying their heads and following the front.
"Shhh, don't say anything like that, you can't escape. We were all sold by our families, we were born with such a fate, it is better to stay honest, at least we can avoid the pain of flesh and skin" Dong Hao sighed and said in a lower voice.
After walking for about half an hour, he finally came to a dense forest, "Everyone follow closely, don't look around, if you get lost here, you won't be able to get out" Boss Wu said loudly with a loudspeaker.
A huge villa on the top of the mountain appeared in front of Meng's eyes, "Whose house does it belong to?" Yu Meng motioned to Lin Qian and Dong Hao to follow her gaze towards the top of the mountain, Lin Qian suddenly laughed and laughed: "I see that you are really stupid, why don't you know anything, it is Vice President Shen's" Lin Qian looked at Yu Meng, and saw her stupid and stupid appearance and continued: "Hey, how do I feel that you don't remember anything, don't forget what you promised me!" You said that you would take me to the mountains, so that I could see the master and Vice President Shen every day," Lin Qian suddenly continued with some unease.
"When will I agree-" Before the dream finished speaking, suddenly Boss Wu threw Lin Qian heavily on the back with a whip, and was directly beaten to his knees.
"You are also worthy of seeing Vice President Shen!" Then there was another whip, this whip was towards Yu Meng, and it fell heavily on Yu Meng's waist, the new and old injuries were overlapping, and Yu Meng almost fainted in pain.
"Are you sick, do you still have human rights?" Yu Meng turned his head and glared at Boss Wu fiercely, and then helped Lin Qian up, but Old Man Wu didn't stop there, and threw another whip at Yu Meng and said, "Human rights? Are you human?"
Yu Meng could no longer bear the whip and fell to the ground. I had never done anything bad in my life, so why should I be tortured so much after I died! My consciousness gradually blurred, my eyelids became very heavy, and I finally fainted in pain.
"Waste!" Boss Wu continued to throw two more whips at Yu Meng, who had fainted, and when he saw that she hadn't woken up, he said, "Come two people, drag her down and throw her directly into the sea."
"Yes"
Yu Meng was half-carried by two people like this, dragged towards the beach, no one came out to intercede for Yu Meng, and no one looked at her more.
Everyone seems to be used to this kind of situation, every day someone will be beaten, every day someone will be thrown into the sea, no wonder everyone does not dare to resist, because once resisting, it is a dead end!
Yu Meng was dragged to the beach, the sea breeze was howling, and her consciousness gradually woke up, but she had no strength in her body, and she was still held by two people.
Suddenly, there was a whistle from a steamer, and she opened her eyes slightly to look at the sea, only to see a large steamer heading towards the shore, and then she heard the two of them begin to talk.
"It's Vice President Shen's boat" "Vice President Shen is about to dock here, what can I do?" Hurry up and throw her into the sea, hurry away, I'm afraid to see the people on the mountain."
Yu Meng looked at the two people beside her, she lowered her head and smiled, it was the kind of helpless but fearless smile, thinking that she was afraid of if she had died once anyway.
The two strong men lifted Yu Meng horizontally and threw her into the sea, as if it didn't matter if they were throwing not a human life, but more like a piece of garbage.
The icy sea water instantly swallowed her body, and Yu Meng was completely disillusioned, allowing her body to sink to the bottom of the sea. But suddenly a man appeared in front of her, his palm wrapped around her waist, and swam towards the sea with all his might, his hand was so strong, he was wearing a white shirt, who was he? Before he could see his appearance clearly, Yu Meng fainted.
