Chapter 24: The General
A small tent set up at random in the clearing, where the food was distributed, and as the sun had completely set, all that remained of the valley was the light of the fire burning under the great crucible, and a gong rang out in the clearing, and the sound of the gong echoed throughout the valley, signaling the end of labor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The slaves numbly walked out of the field and rushed to the clearing, the slaves here don't even have any shackles on them, because they don't need them at all, they are completely controlled by the "Ten Deaths and Lives", and there are those who want to escape before, but as long as they leave here without the "Ten Deaths", and taste the feeling that life is worse than death, they will naturally come back obediently, without any exceptions.
And now many people are already dull-eyed, the side effects of long-term use of "ten deaths and life" have been reflected, coupled with this endless labor every day, they have long been numb, and now only retain the most basic survival instincts, and the brain has lost the function of thinking.
Bai frowned and scooped the porridge in the pot with a big spoon and distributed it to the people in line, if these can also be called porridge, it is simply crystal clear, where can there be a few grains of rice in a spoonful, and there is even a bad taste, it is simply not something that people eat.
But the people in the queue still showed their longing for such food, and the hard work of the day was the only little solace before going to bed at night.
"Are these things really for people to eat..."Dorina held two pieces of black bread in her hand and struck each other, and it made a "bang" sound like a stone colliding, and a lady like her had never seen this kind of food.
"As long as these things can maintain the most basic survival needs of human beings," Hei who was handing out bread on the side said lightly: "They rely on the "ten deaths and life" to sustain life, and that thing will squeeze life force and transform it into power... So starving people can't die... But the sad thing is that even after taking Ten Deaths and Lives, people can still feel hunger... These slaves must have been suffering from hunger. ”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the ranks that were slowly advancing not far away.
An old man was dragged out of the team by the fierce overseer next to him: "Old thing, you are tired of being crooked, didn't you already receive the meal just now, do you want to receive it again!"
The old man was thrown to the ground heavily, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed the overseer's leg: "Please, sir, it's okay, I'm really hungry and can't stand it..."
"Don't worry," the overseer laughed and raised his foot to throw the old man out again: "As long as there are "ten deaths and lives", you will not starve to death, haha!"
The old man lay on the ground and seemed to have exhausted all his strength, so he could only point to the overseer tremblingly: "You demons... You don't have to die well..."
"Hey, old thing, you really want to die," the overseer pulled out the long whip from his waist: "It's not that you couldn't stand the temptation to eat the "Ten Deaths and Life", and now it's on us to blame, it seems that you can't repair your old bones today." ”
On this side, Dolina held Bai's hand tightly: "Sister Bai, calm down, we are all going to die here, they have all been poisoned by the "Ten Deaths and Life", sooner or later they will all die, you can't save a lifetime if you can save it for a while!"
Shiro's body trembled with excitement, but she was also desperately patient, and she also knew that revealing her identity in such a place would be doomed.
The overseer smiled and dropped the long whip in his hand, and with the old man's body, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand such a blow at all, but at this time, a person suddenly rushed out of the oblique thorn.
Rushing out is a big man, this big man is two meters tall, a face of national characters that is not angry and mighty, the naked upper body shows heavy chest hair, and the muscles of the whole body look spectacular, although it is a human but it is stronger and more fierce than the bear people in the Inhuman race, the most striking thing is that unlike ordinary slaves, he has shackles on his hands and feet, and there is a "whoosh" sound every time he moves.
The strong man stood in front of the old man without a sound, and blocked the whip for the old man, and the whip left a shallow blood mark on the strong man's chest, but not to mention that the body did not move at all, the strong man's eyelids did not blink, and there was no ordinary slave whispering down, looking down at the overseer condescendingly, this is the momentum that only those who have been in the upper position all the year round, the overseer wanted to say something, but looking at the strong man's eyes, he held back stiffly, pinned the whip to his waist in embarrassment, and coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment and walked away。
The strong man pulled the old man on the ground up, and then returned to the line again without a sound.
"That person doesn't seem to have taken the "Ten Deaths and Lives"?" Leon looked at the big man curiously, and the big man easily pulled the old man into the team again, but this time no one went to the old man again, and the other overseers around him also looked like more things were better than less things and simply went in other directions.
"Am I dazzled?" looked at the strong man standing in the crowd who was taller: "Why did that person appear here?"
Bai also frowned, and explained in a low voice to Leon and the others who did not know the reason behind him: "That is the Toronto general known as the "Tiger of the Empire", the younger brother of the Duke of Apollo, who has fought against our Inhumans for many years, not only has outstanding personal strength, but also has first-class command ability, which can be called the right-hand man of Duke Apollo..."
Hei couldn't believe it: "I thought it was the Toronto guy who led the troops to confront us in the Valley of No Return this time, how could he be here?"
Soon, as the team moved, the Toronto general came here, and quietly, Toronto suddenly lowered his voice: "You are Inhumans?"
Bai Yi was startled, and nodded slowly, fortunately, there were no soldiers around, and the nearest soldier was still adding firewood in front of the cauldron.
Toronto took the porridge handed over by Bai: "Don't be surprised, I've fought with you Inhumans all my life, and I can smell your identity just by smelling it." ”
Toronto's footsteps did not stop at all, and the range of mouth movements when speaking was also suppressed as low as possible, and when he walked to the side of the black, he spoke again: "This is not the place to talk, come to my place tonight to find me, I have a way to stop this war." ”
"What's going on?" Looking at Toronto's departing back, Dolina leaned over: "Can you believe this guy's words?"
"How is it possible," said Hei hatefully, "this guy has the blood of his compatriots all over his hands, and he must not be at ease." ”
Bai shook his head: "No, I can feel that there is no malice on General Toronto this time." ”
Hei smiled bitterly: "But no matter who it is, sister, you will always think that you are a good person."
Leon also nodded thoughtfully: "This may be a breakthrough." ”
"Wait a minute, look at that..."Dorina suddenly reminded Leon to look in one direction.
That was the direction of the huge crucible, the soldier who had been stirring the crucible was now replaced by a huge net and was fishing for something in the crucible, as soon as the net was taken out, he saw that all the red pills were fished out one by one, which was obviously the finished product of "Ten Deaths and Life", and then these red pills were packed in a jar and then picked up by a man wearing a black cloak.
This black cloak Leon and Dorina are all too familiar, and they are exactly the same as the man in black who was chasing Dolina when they met.
"It's the cardinal of the Mamon Order!" Arthur also recognized the man's identity: "How did you end up here?"
The black cloak wrapped the whole body of the man in black, and he couldn't see who was inside, but he looked like a fat man from the figure, and took the jar handed by the soldier, and the man in black opened the mouth of the altar and looked at it, and walked away as if he was very satisfied.
"I didn't expect the minions of the Mamon Sect to reach such a place," Dorina glared at the back of the black-clothed bishop fiercely as if she was angry: "It seems that this "Ten Deaths and Lives" Mamon Sect also has a kick."
"Very likely," Leon nodded, "There is soil here that curses the earth, and the "Mammon" of the Mamon Sect is the name of the previous generation of demon kings..."
"What?!" everyone around was shocked.
"Don't you know?" Leon was stunned: "The name of the previous generation of demon kings was Mammon..."
"I've never heard of this before!!"
