12 If you want to live, you must be reluctant
The dim ore cavern, indescribably silent, sent three groups of people in succession to explore deeper inside, but now a full three hours have passed.
However, there was still no movement inside, and no living person could come back alive.
The situation became more and more depressed, and the beads of sweat on Jiang Chen's forehead gradually became dense.
He knew that if he didn't take the initiative to act, then the next moment, waiting for him - he would be sent by the fourth batch to explore the depths of the cave, and then he would die.
"What should I do, what should I do?" At this moment, Jiang Chen had never tried to be so helpless, and it was not until this moment that he deeply realized the helplessness of sporadic and one-star fate, and how difficult it was to challenge the assessment task alone.
This level of difficulty is simply a hellish nightmare-level start.
In fact, it has been more than half a month since he was born into this world, and his soul has come to a young man in this world.
The identity of the reborn person was originally a member of a self-sufficient village, but not long after, because he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake while hunting in the mountains, and after his death, this body happened to be taken over by the reborn Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang Chen, who had just been "resurrected", immediately understood the rejection and malice of this world towards those who came from the sky within two days.
Jiang Chen's quiet and leisurely small village was looted by a group of pirates, robbed all the food and property in the village, and slaughtered all the old people and children, and the remaining women and young people were all taken back to a certain island.
Since then, Jiang Chen's status as a villager has declined again, and he has become a captive at the bottom.
Soon, he was handed over to a poisoner on the island who was revered and feared by the pirates as a dismissive slave by the pirates, and became one of the many test subjects of the poisoner.
Every day, Jiang Chen's "test products" are forced to try to take the new formula formulated by the poison and test the clinical trial effect of the new formula.
Jiang Chen was very "lucky", he survived again and again, and was tortured at the hands of the poisoner for more than ten days, and finally ushered in a new turnaround.
The poisoner lacked a key main medicinal material, and this main medicinal material was on another island force, so the remaining batch of test specimens, including Jiang Chen, were five people.
Forced to infiltrate this island belonging to another pirate force, with only one goal, that is, to quietly collect the main medicinal materials that the poisoner wants, and if they successfully return, the poisoner promises that they will be converted and become a real pirate, instead of being a captive and a slave.
This reward was a fatal attraction for the six people, so they worked hard for it.
Jiang Chen: They succeeded, but failed again.
Succeedingly, they risked their lives to be discovered, lurking and groping the entire island for several days, and finally collected the main medicinal herbs.
Failing, just as they were about to sneak away, they were discovered.
The world's rejection and malice towards the adventers seemed to have descended again, and Jiang Chen, who was sporadic and fateful, did not have the slightest chance of resistance.
Needless to say, the bandit force did not execute them directly, but threw them into the mine prison area and acted as mine slaves.
From a villager to a slave test subject, and from a slave captive to another bandit miner, in just half a month, Jiang Chen fully realized the innate lack of low life personality, especially zero life personality, this kind of birth background is simply inferior to the bottom poor in the bottom.
Under the shadow of the world's malice, he had no chance of resisting at all, let alone saying that he had succeeded in living for three years, let alone hoping to weaken the world's luck.
Those with ultra-low life qualities want to live, and it is difficult.
I thought that the transformation from a slave to a miner was at least much better than the former's cannon fodder-like sacrificial role, but it didn't take long for Jiang Chen to find that he was thinking too much.
The miners here have no freedom, and life and death are not up to themselves, they do not have enough to eat every day, they eat the worst coarse grains, but they do the heaviest work, and those who are a little lazy will be beaten to death by the overseer.
And there is a threat of life at all times, this threat does not mean that the mine will collapse at any time, but that in the depths of the mine tunnel, there are demonic creatures that appear from time to time.
Three of the four companions who came with him to steal medicinal herbs have already died, one of them is alive and exhausted, one is buried alive in the collapsed mine, and the other is dragged away by the demonic creatures in the depths of the mine, and there are no bones left.
However, at the moment, Jiang Chen couldn't hold on.
Because next, the two Overseers behind them will definitely send them out again to investigate deeper in the cavern.
"The three of you, if you come back alive, I will make an exception and promote you to be the leader of the miners, my goal is only one, to find out what the demonic creatures in the depths of the cave are, how many of them are, go ahead. ”
Sure enough, Jiang Chen was not mistaken, even earlier than he imagined, the two overseers behind him became more and more impatient, they had dark faces and issued orders in advance.
Resist?
Jiang Chen and the others all thought about it, but they still thought too much, the two overseers were wrestlers, although they were only first-rank wrestlers, but they had a strength of five hundred kilograms, and the killing skills they mastered, they were not at all able to deal with three miners with a mine hoe.
Not to mention three, even if thirty more people come, they will be ruthlessly suppressed and killed.
"Yes, sir. "Including Jiang Chen, the last three people don't dare to resist at all, and being used as cannon fodder for reconnaissance will definitely be a life of death, but at least there is still a glimmer of hope left than dying immediately.
Human nature is like this, including Jiang Chen, the situation is stronger than people, even if he is a born person in the 22nd century, in the face of the real cruel reality, he has to "follow the customs".
If you want to live, you must first learn to be like a slave, groveling to save your life, in this world, please don't have the mind to rebel against any superior, this is not brave and backbone, but stupidity and death.
There is not the slightest human right here, and there will be no slightest softness, and if you are disobedient, you will be killed, and it is even more meaningless than killing a chicken, because a poultry can bring at least a few catties of meat, whether it is food or precious meat.
But a slave with a captive?
I'm sorry, there is no loss in killing, it's a big deal to send someone to the coastal village to catch it, that's right, it took more than half a month to come to this world, this is the worldview that Jiang Chen learned from this world, and he is still trying to adapt to this kind of rule, otherwise, he would have been killed a long time ago.
This is not a game, nor is it a crossing of online novels, and he Jiang Chen is not the protagonist, he knows that he is always at the bottom, and he must live at any cost.
The three of them, under the watchful eyes of the two overseers behind them, stepped forward with heavy steps, spread their legs, and walked into the depths of the dark cavern in front of them, where perhaps this was where their bones were buried, no, maybe there would not be even bones left.
