Chapter 2: A Different World

Xu Laosan took out some hay branches from the dark corner of the cell, threw them into the iron bucket, and took out an extremely old-looking lighter, lit some hay, and threw it in.

At this time, Yu Jin found that this iron bucket was connected to a chimney, no wonder he didn't feel any smoke before.

Xu Laosan turned his back to Yu Jin, and while stuffing branches into the iron bucket, he asked about Yu Jin's situation.

"How's your body?"

Yu Jin touched his injury, he felt much better, and he didn't feel much pain when he was just resisted on his shoulder.

"It's much better, I heard from the inspector general that I came here a few days ago, and I'm very grateful to Elder Xu for taking care of me all the time."

Xu Laosan just raised his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.

Yu Jin looked at the cell that was gradually illuminated by the firelight, and asked casually.

"Old Xu, just now I saw the military master's ears on the top of his head, which is different from ours, this is ......"

It seemed that he really heard Yu Jin's doubts, Xu Laosan's movements paused, and then he recovered freely.

"Originally, you said that you had amnesia, and I didn't believe it, but now that you ask that, I believe it a little bit."

The dry firewood branches were almost stuffed, Xu Laosan clapped his hands and walked in front of Yu Jin. When he left the iron barrel, the firelight illuminated the entire cell, and Yu Jin realized that this cell was actually very large, at least seven or eight people were not crowded.

But there are only two beds here, and there are a lot of flowers and plants piled up on the side, but Yu Jin can still see that these flowers and plants must be herbs.

"Don't say these things in front of the dog army in the future, mentioning their racial characteristics to the orcs is easy to get into trouble."

Orcs? Yu Jin has gained a new word, and he is already sure that the reality he lives in is no longer the world he knows.

"Elder Xu... Are you human? Yu Jin asked tentatively.

Xu Laosan naturally saw the confusion and worry in Yu Jin's eyes, and was even more sure that Yu Jin had really lost his memory. But that's fine, people with amnesia are at least relatively simple in nature.

"Of course I'm human, since you have amnesia, then I'll explain to you a little bit about this world and this place."

Yu Jin immediately sat upright and listened carefully to Xu Laosan's explanation of the situation in this world.

"About 170 years ago...... Something happened that endangered the whole world, and since then, all species have started a period of evolutionary high-speed, whether animals, plants or humans, all of them have broken through their genes. ”

Yu Jin took a closer look at Xu Laosan, Xu Laosan's age was at least sixty years old, which means that he should be a descendant of evolved humans, but the appearance of Xu Laosan in front of him has not changed specially.

Xu Laosan felt Yu Jin's puzzled gaze, and then said with a smile.

"Although this kind of evolution has affected all species, there are also some cases where evolution has not occurred, and I am the one who has not evolved."

"What will it be like after evolution?"

"The evolution of human beings will open up something called the genetic lock, that kind of human beings are extremely powerful, some can call the wind and rain, some can control water and fire, just like ancient myths, flying into the sky and the earth, omnipotent."

When Yu Jin heard this, he was also stunned, flying into the sky and the ground, omnipotent, how powerful it should be.

"That's... Is the orcs beasts or people? ”

When Xu Laosan heard this question, he was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Yu Jin's mouth, and then rushed to the cell door to look around, and when he saw that there were no prison guards around, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly returned to Yu Jin's side.

"Don't let the other orcs hear these questions, they call themselves orcs, but they hate humans very much. There are occasional orc slaves here, who often clash with human slaves, and even some orc prison guards like to trouble human slaves.

The most important thing is that the orcs are often stronger than ordinary humans, and only humans who have opened the genetic lock are not afraid of these orcs.

Well, as long as you follow me, those orcs won't bother you. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Laosan's face looked a little proud.

And Yu Jin was a little puzzled, in this old man who seemed to be weak, what confidence did he have to say this.

"Why?"

When he watched Xu Laosan point at his wound that was no longer painful, he knew it, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The treatment needles are too expensive, and the slave arena is reluctant to use them, so we old guys who treat people can survive well, but... I don't know how many days I have left. ”

For a while, Yu Jin didn't know what to say.

He could only touch his head and said, "The inspector general told me that I can leave here after twenty years of slavery, Elder Xu, you should be soon." ”

Xu Laosan smiled and nodded, and muttered: "Yes, it's almost twenty years, so I found me an apprentice like you, but it's good, I'm quite satisfied." ”

"Come on, come on, continue to tell you, this orc race is actually a humanoid species evolved from animals, their intelligence has greatly improved, and they are gradually moving closer to the human form, just like the dog army, which is a very typical example.

However, there are also some beasts that have evolved and remain the same, if you encounter these beasts here, you should try to stay away, those guys, are difficult to entangle. ”

Although he didn't know what the beast Xu Laosan was talking about, Yu Jin still nodded, after all, everything he heard now was something he had never heard or seen.

"But here, the difference between humans and beasts is not so important, as long as you don't touch the moldy head of the orc clan, there will basically be no problem."

Yu Jin thought to himself that it was impossible, he knew what racial differences were, just like Ah Mei, you gnaw the country, white people are first-class people, and black people are second-class people.

There is also a third-class person left for people outside.

Black looks down on white, and white looks down on black.

It's just that if you think about it carefully, only evolved humans have the capital to face the orc race, and ordinary people like Xu Lao naturally can't afford to provoke orcs.

"Is it now a peaceful coexistence between humans and orcs?"

Yu Jin's words made Xu Laosan pause, and then shook his head.

"The world is divided into three regions, the Eastern Human Federation, the Western Orc Empire, and the two sides have also been at war for decades, but there are also many confrontations in the dark."

"And what about an area?"

Xu Laosan pointed to the underground, "This is called the Demon Beast City, which is the third area, located at the junction of the middle of the two empires, when the truce is over, this place will become a gray area of the three regardless. ”

Xu Laosan paused, and suddenly coughed non-stop.

Seeing this, Yu Jin hurriedly walked to a table, picked up a cup, filled some water from the bucket next to him, and handed it to Xu Laosan.

Xu Laosan took it and drank it with a grunt.

"Alas, ** is sick, as soon as this person gets old, his body is prone to problems."

Seeing that Xu Laosan was unwell, Yu Jin didn't continue to ask, he looked at the burning iron bucket, and lost his mind for a moment.

Xu Laosan added a fire to the iron bucket, and when he saw Yu Jin quietly watching the iron bucket motionless, he shook his head slightly, and returned to the dark corner that belonged to him.

Many years ago, Xu Laosan also sat quietly watching the burning iron bucket.

Nothing was said all night.

After eating two mouthfuls of the black bread left by Xu Laosan, Yu Jin, who was injured on his waist, soon felt sleepy again and fell into a deep sleep.

It was dawn.

The cell was not as dark as before, and light was pouring down from the two small windows.

Yu Jin couldn't help but squint his eyes as he looked at the sunlight that fell on the ground, he felt as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

When Chang~

When Chang~

When Chang~

"Hey! Xu Laosan, come out with your apprentice, it's time to work. "The uniformed canine knocked on the door of the cell with a stick in his hand.

"Hey, good morning, Master Jun, what do you have to do today." Xu Laosan smiled all over his face, rubbed his hands and walked to the cell door.

The dog army took out a list and a key from his arms, "The slave who lives in room 32 is dead, go collect the corpse, number 74 and 118, someone in the two rooms is injured, you go and see." ”

Xu Laosan took the list and took a cursory look at it, his brows furrowed a little.

"Could it be that the injured person in room 118 is him again?"

"It's only him who often fights with people, and he can't die, it's his fate, but the rules are the rules, and if you should go, you still have to go."

Xu Laosan was silent, put away the list and keys, turned his head and beckoned to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin hurriedly got up from the plank bed.

The dog army glanced at Yu Jin from afar, opened the cell door and left on his own.

"Old Xu, what should I do?"

Xu Laosan shook his head and said, "You still have some injuries on your body, you don't have to do anything today, watch me carefully how to do it." ”

As he spoke, he went back to his cell and got some things, and pulled a small wooden cart out by the way.

"What is this?"

"Everyday tools, come with me."

Xu Laosan took Yu Jin and walked along the corridor all the way.

Along the way, Yu Jin saw that many cells were empty, and some cells still had some people lying in them.

But each cell is numbered.

Just as they walked to one of the cells, a strange smell wafted over.

The smell was extremely unpleasant, Yu Jin had to cover his mouth and nose, and he turned his gaze to Xu Laosan.

"Old Xu, what does this smell like? Which guy doesn't take a bath? ”

Xu Laosan was unharmed, he smiled: "This is the taste of salted fish, boy, your first lesson today, come in with me." ”

He turned around and handed Yu Jin a mask sewn from fabric.

"There are medicinal herbs in it, and wearing it can isolate the smell a little."

Yu Jin took the mask and put it on, and sure enough, the smell was no longer so strong, and there was still a trace of fragrance in the mask.

At this time, the door of the cell had not been locked for a long time, Xu Laosan opened the door, dragged the wooden cart in, and then put the salted fish inside on the wooden cart.

This is what Yu Jin realized that salted fish is synonymous with dead corpses.

Xu Laosan, who came out, handed the rope of the wooden cart in his hand to Yu Jin, Yu Jin looked at the corpse that began to decompose after the death, his stomach churned, and he quickly closed his eyes and turned his head.

"Hey, you kid can't do this, you're going to have to face this kind of thing every day in the future."

Xu Laosan forced the drawstring into Yu Jin's hand, determined to let him adapt to the situation.

Yu Jin had no choice but to take the rope, endure the discomfort, and pull the wooden cart to follow Xu Laosan's footsteps.

At this time, he was very confused, could he only be a slave here for twenty years?
