Chapter 46 Working Machines
The factory building 300 meters away looks like a workshop with rows of textile equipment placed in it.
At this time, there were countless workers, all working nervously overtime.
There are many small factories of this kind in Qinggang City, especially in satellite cities, and children who enter satellite cities, or are born in satellite cities, generally speaking, fate is also to work in such factories after being sensible. After that, it is often possible to stay in such a factory for the rest of their lives, although the wilderness homeless people who have spent three years in the satellite city, or the children born in the satellite city, have the opportunity to enter the school, but it has to be said that a large number of people do not force this.
And the satellite city is never reluctant.
It's ridiculous to say, but Lu Xin and Teacher Xiaolu, orphans who grew up under the guidance of the old director of the orphanage, know the importance of learning, so whether it was before or now, the Red Moon Orphanage has tried its best to let the children go to school and study.
Of course, even so, overtime in the factory is the norm, but it is not much to add so late.
Lu Xin had already noticed that it was already about two o'clock in the middle of the night.
With the help of his sister's ability, he can see that there are many people working overtime in the factory three hundred meters away, they are standing in front of one long workbench after another, the division of labor is combined, some are cleaning cotton embryos, some are transporting cotton slivers, and some are spinning roving......
But Lu Xin saw the problem at a glance.
All the workers, at this time, were like precision instruments, working blankly and numbly, some of their hands had been ground and bleeding, and they still did not feel the slightest feeling of disassembling the cotton balls, and they did not realize that the blood in their hands had stained the cotton red;
Some of them walked with crutches when they were tired, but they still resisted the weaving bag like a hill and kept running;
Some saw that there was something wrong with the weaving machine, and immediately put their hands in it expressionlessly, and forcibly twisted the mistake......
…… It was like a factory with no pain, not even a sense.
……
……
"Do you see the source of the contamination?"
The gecko's voice sounded softly in Lu Xin's ears.
Lu Xin reacted at this time, he is a person who deals with this kind of thing, and he should not be surprised by such a scene.
So he looked fixedly, and soon saw that among all the busy workers, there was a middle-aged man who looked particularly excited, he was wearing a crumpled suit, already sweating profusely, but the shirt and tie inside were still tightly tied, at this time he was constantly walking in the factory, waving his arms exaggeratedly, his lips and teeth opening and closing, as if he was saying something loudly.
Lu Xin subconsciously glanced at the gecko and said, "Is it him?" What are you talking about? ”
The gecko didn't turn its head, but just lowered its head and said, "If you tell carefully, we should be able to hear ......."
Lu Xin frowned slightly, and then turned to the other side.
The younger sister glanced at the gecko coldly at this time, and her eyes seemed to squint slightly under her messy hair.
In the same way, at this time, Lu Xin also felt that the pupils of his eyes were shrinking slightly, and everything in the factory was seen more carefully, and even the vague sound of the machine turning because it was too far away became clearer and clearer at this time.
Then, too, he quickly caught the man's voice speaking loudly:
"Work, must work!"
"We are all lucky to have survived the cataclysm, why should everyone else die and we live?"
"Look at how many people in this city live like dogs, what is the point of their lives, they can't make a lot of money in their lives, they have no hope of entering the main city to live in their lives, and in the wilderness outside, there are many crazy people wandering, and I don't know how many people can't even eat, the reason is because they don't have a job like us at all!"
"Therefore, we can only enter the main city life if we work, and only by working harder......"
"If we don't work, we'll starve to death like those outside the city......"
"Fight, fight, if we don't work, what's the difference between it and the dead?"
“……”
The words he shouted were very passionate, and his voice was even a little hysterical, and his voice was hoarse and even congested, but he himself seemed to have no feeling at all, howling like a beast, and roaring out his voice vigorously.
And as he yelled, the speed and rhythm of the work of the people around him became faster and faster, and everyone's faces and expressions became more and more fanatical.
On the ground, even some people who had already collapsed to the ground from exhaustion and did not know whether they were dead or alive all staggered to their feet at this time.
They looked at the machine and the cotton embryo in front of them, as if they were looking at the only meaningful thing in life.
……
……
"That's the source of the pollution?"
Lu Xin's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a low voice.
The gecko smiled in a low voice and said, "Lao Chen said that you can see spirit monsters, what can you see now?" ”
Lu Xin took a serious look, then shook his head lightly, and said, "I can't see this kind of thing, I can only see one person there!" ”
"Same as me."
The gecko chuckled and said, "That's right, that Humpty Dumpty in a suit is the source of pollution." ”
"Strictly speaking, he has not become a source of pollution now, he should be regarded as a spiritual deviant, but such a mental deviant is more terrible than the source of pollution, he has already affected nearly a hundred employees in that small factory, and a person like him who is completely unable to restrain his ability, and is even unable to communicate normally, can be directly classified as a source of pollution."
“……”
In the channel, Linda, or Tie Cui's voice, sounded at the right time: "Zheng Yuanxiong, the director of Yuanxiong Textile Factory, is forty years old, entered the satellite city at the age of twenty-seven, and founded this textile factory, but it is not well managed, and it is on the verge of closure several times. ”
"Ten days ago, someone found out about the change in the textile factory and went to the police department, just because of the lack of manpower, and when our investigation team arrived, the situation was already out of control, and the people in this factory were already moderately infected, and they would indiscriminately attack anyone who entered the factory and tried to stop them from working, or they could contaminate others and become one of them."
"Now, all the people in their factory have been working for two and a half days in a row, not eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting, if they are not stopped, all of them may work until death, and Zheng Yuanxiong will be completely out of control at any time."
"And at that time, the scope of his pollution will increase dramatically, and even spread to several factories around!"
“……”
"So, the headquarters order, go straight to the cleanup!"
