Following his memory, Shu Han walked towards his dormitory in the mining area.

Shu Han's room is located in the south of the entire slave area, dormitory No. 13 of the 33rd engineering team, a total of ten people live in this space of less than twelve square meters, the upper and lower beds are superimposed, there is almost no place to walk, there is no other decoration in the room except for ten beds, as for the taste, just one word, smelly.

Even on the bed, it was just a layer of straw, a pillow and a quilt, and a change of clothes, other than that, there was nothing else, Shu Han lay down on his bed, closed his eyes but couldn't sleep, his body was already very tired, but today's experience made him unable to sleep, the huge pressure and the extreme desire to leave here, so that his brain never got a moment of rest.

Waited until more than an hour passed, the body finally could no longer support Shu Han's thinking about many problems, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep, in the dream, Shu Han saw his parents and younger brother again, he happily hugged them, but turned his head and found that the face that originally belonged to his parents had become the face of the two informers, their faces were covered with insect repellent, the sunken eye sockets flashed with ghostly fire, and the severed bones were exposed under the thin skin, they stuck their throats, shouting "Give me back my life, Give me back my life. “

Shu Han wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape, one nightmare after another, finally made Shu Han scream, woke up from the dream, the bandages on his body were already soaked, the wound was also very painful, and the salt in the sweat was sprinkled on it, which made Shu Han want to call his mother in pain.

But it also made Shu Han sober up a lot, realizing that this is reality, and he is still alive and not in the so-called hell.

He got off the bed, walked outside and took his own cup to scoop a bowl of water from the water tank for himself to drink, and after washing his body with water, he could be regarded as recovering a little spirit, and went back to the bed to lie down, Shu Han's heart was very uncomfortable.

"Die because of me?" Shu Han muttered, at this moment he was very confused in his heart, those two people, in fact, to be honest, did not do anything wrong, in the class, there are so many people who complain to the teacher, but in the end, most of them will be fine, and some even if they have an accident, they are just beaten, and now, those two informants died because of their lies, which is really cruel for a person like him who has just come here from a modern civilized society.

"No, those two whistleblowers are not just making small reports, they are going to kill Lin Pida, I am doing this for Lin Bida." Another voice in Shu Han's heart spoke, and Shu Han fell into uneasiness for a while, and then fell into guilt in the battle between the two voices, and fell asleep again unconsciously.

This time there were no more nightmares, and when he woke up, it was already sunset and moonlight, and there was a stampede outside the door, Shu Han got up from the bed and looked at the door, he knew that this time should be the time for everyone to come back.

The first one to walk in was Shu Han's lower bunk, a child named Zhang Ming, thirteen years old this year, just came to the mining area for three months, saw Shu Han walking on the bed, was very surprised why Shu Han came back earlier than himself, so he asked: "Shu Han, why did you come back early?" ”

"Shu Han, what are you wrapping around?" At this time, Li You also walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Shu Han's body with a circle of white cloth, he asked very strangely.

"Oh, it's a white cloth, it's for medical use." Shu Han didn't want to say more, but Zhang Ming on the side kept interrogating, obviously, he was very curious about Shu Han's ability to not go to work, and he didn't want to go to work, he was too tired to carry stones all day long.

For the next question, Shu Han no longer answered, the envy and hatred in everyone's eyes, so that Shu Han didn't want to make a sound, he inadvertently revealed that the white cloth on his body and the fact that he could not go to work today was an order from an overseer, in order to tell the others in the dormitory that he was different from them, and that he didn't want to hurt himself because of jealousy, so he went to bed again.

For these slaves, Shu Han couldn't even believe a word, they would even kill their roommates for a piece of bread, the previous slave was beaten to death by other slaves because a mouse just ate an extra bite of meat, in such a world, Shu Han can rest for half a day, which is enough to make others jealous and crazy.

Only by carrying the overseer out can their jealousy and hatred be barely restrained, Shu Han walked on the bed, and after a while there was a snoring sound in the room, Shu Han walked on the bed, and the afternoon rest made him not so much want to fall asleep at the moment.

"The most important thing right now is to get out of here and get outside, that's my number one goal." After that, Shu Han thought of a lot of plans, in his memory, the chance of becoming a commoner from a slave is not high, mainly there are several paths, the first is to make a significant contribution to the master, then the master will give a reward for getting rid of the slave status, and the second is to make outstanding contributions to the Black Iron City, then as the manager of the city, he will also cancel his slave status and let him become a free citizen.

As for the third way, it is to awaken and become a Skywalker, but this is too difficult for me now, this body is fifteen years old, it looks like it has a bad impact, and it is impossible to eat and drink enough in a short period of time, pinning on the mutation of the body, Shu Han does not have such a naïve idea, the above three roads, only the first two roads are possible.

As for escaping? Where can a little kid like himself escape? In his memory, outside the Black Iron City was the primeval forest, and there were many mutated beasts living in it, they were like dark creatures in ancient writing, strong, bloodthirsty, and even if they successfully escaped, they could not live alone.

Not to mention the rebellion, this group of slaves has already been in the oppression day after day, erasing their personality, that is, sending weapons to their hands, I am afraid they will not rebel, not to mention that there are cannons, muskets and other hot weapons in the Black Iron City, they are such a group of people who are no different from primitive people, fighting them with hoes, there is no difference from looking for death.

Therefore, there are only the first two paths to go, but how can you contribute to the mine owner or this Black Iron City?

"Helping to transform the mine's production process with modern knowledge?"

Shu Han thought in his heart that this was the only thing he could do now, or kneel and lick an overseer, let the other party trust him, and then slowly tell him what he knew, helping him get more rights, and in the process, he could also 'attain the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.' But the challenge is how do you choose an overseer you can rely on?

Shu Han is very self-aware, he is just a student who has not entered the society much, living in the Tower of Babel, the focus of life is to read, study, the ultimate goal is to be admitted to a good university, he doesn't understand the world at all, let alone how to look at people.

At that time, it is very likely that he will regard him as an object that can be relied on, and the other party will only regard him as an object that can be used, and it is very likely that he will be sold by the other party and still help the other party count the money, which makes Shu Han upset, he knows his ability very well, there is too little contact with people in society, and it is really not allowed to look at people.

"God, since I've been allowed to cross over, can't you give me a good identity, and I don't want to become a Skywalker, even if it's a free person, why bother me so much." Shu Han thought about this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, slave, this identity is too difficult to turn over.

Shu Han's brain was spinning like this, but it was not feasible, he had been here for too short, and the memories in his head were too miscellaneous to really come up with some good methods, "Forget it, let's take one step at a time." I thought about it a lot, and finally I fell asleep in a daze.

At six o'clock the next day, Shu Han woke up from his sleep on time, he climbed down from the bed lightly, opened the door and walked outside, Li You stood outside the door, and was a little surprised to see Shu Han being the first to come out of the door.

"Uncle You, good morning." For Li You, the old man, Shu Han still has a little gratitude in his heart, when he first came to this world, the first thing he saw was Li You, and later when he was beaten by the overseer and almost died, it was Li You who saved himself, for Li You, he couldn't treat him like other slaves.

"Good morning, Shuhan." Li You hesitated, but still accepted Shu Han's greeting, he watched Shu Han pick up a towel to wipe his face, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help asking, "Yesterday, did something bad happen?" ”

"It's nothing, don't worry, Uncle Li, I'm fine." But even in the face of Li You, he didn't dare to tell his plan and inventory, but he didn't want Li You to worry too much, so Shu Han could only say very vaguely, Li You wanted to ask again when he saw this, Shu Han said directly: "Everyone is coming out, I'll go get the cart." ”

After saying that, he left the door of the dormitory alone, the whole dormitory was surrounded by rust, and rows of iron and stones were scattered under his feet on the rough ground, and the thin shoes could not stop the stones from attacking the soles of people's feet, and everyone here had developed a pair of iron feet, which were covered with calluses.

Newcomers often have blood blisters on their feet on the first day, and if one is not treated well, the wound will become infected, and then they will die in wailing, and on this road, under the black stones, there is more blood of countless slaves, Shu Han walked to the cart and reached out to untie the already black cloth strips on his body.

Touching his back with his hand, the wound whipped by the overseer had scabbed at this time, Shu Han thought about it, and simply wrapped this strip of cloth around the waistband of his trousers, although this strip of cloth cannot be used to make clothes, but the material is very comfortable, and it may be useful in the future, for himself now, nothing can be wasted.

But if you wear it on your body again, it will really arouse suspicion, and it will inevitably attract criticism, for your own safety and save others from worrying, Shu Han does not dare to continue to tie it.

Pushing the cart to the door of the dormitory, everyone had already walked out of the dormitory, Zhang Ming yawned, looking very sleepy, and the others kept throwing cold water on their faces to avoid sleepiness from disturbing the war later, Shu Han put the cart aside and stood in the team, Li You stood in front to count the number of slaves to ensure that the number of slaves matched the account book.

The slaves were very impatient, they stretched their necks to look into the distance, Shu Han was very uncomfortable being squeezed in the middle of the crowd, but he also stretched his neck, at this time, a puff of white smoke drifted in the distance, and countless inhalation sounds sounded around him, Shu Han was also one of them.

Breakfast, the first battle of the slaves.

The breakfast caravan slowly entered the dormitory from the kitchen, and the slaves, under the restraint of the dormitory master, stood on the opposite side of the house, waiting for the wheelbarrow carrying the grain to enter their prey area, on which the fragrant rye bread was placed, like a hill, which was the slaves' breakfast.

There are more than 20 dormitories in the place where Shu Han and the others live, a total of about 200 people, and a wheelbarrow of 30 grains, when the vehicle stopped, everyone began to lose control, and kept pushing and rushing to the front, without the control of the overseer, everyone kept holding the hot rye bread in their hands, not caring how hot the bread was, and then stuffed it into their mouths after grabbing it.

Shu Han was naturally in the queue of contention, and he actually thought it was strange, wouldn't this result in many people eating enough rye bread, while the remaining part could not get enough bread? Wouldn't their productivity be reduced?

Why not just let the cooks distribute it and give everyone the same amount of bread, so that the scene does not seem so disorderly, and at the same time allows everyone to eat enough and go to work comfortably, as the owner of the mine, they can get more profits? Why take such a violent and embarrassing approach to deal with it?

Shu Han was puzzled, and even thought about whether this would be a good suggestion, maybe he could change his identity after he put it forward, but soon, Shu Han realized that the reason why the rules of the mining area were formed, no matter how strange he was in his eyes, were excusable.

In Shu Han's opinion, this is very inefficient, because he sees slaves as human beings, but in the eyes of the slave owner, these slaves are not human beings, but only his wealth, no, not even wealth, gold will always be worth much in his hands, but people are different, people will change in their hands as they grow older and their strength changes.

Here, if you can eat more food, it means that you have far more physical strength than others, then you are qualified to live, and those slaves who can't grab food will starve, and the efficiency of their work will be reduced, and then their lunch and dinner will be reduced, and it will not be long before these weak and sick people and their strength begins to weaken, they will not be able to hold on, and thus die.

Through cruel methods, slave owners can quickly remove their own 'bad assets', in order to ensure that the slaves in the mining area are good workers, which is why breakfast should be obtained by robbing, in Shu Han's opinion, extremely cruel and unreasonable, but in the eyes of slave owners, this is a very efficient means to identify the ability of slaves.

Of course, in addition to this main reason, the image of the slaves fighting for bread is like a herd of animals fighting for food, and this undignified appearance can undoubtedly please the slave owners and overseers, satisfy their own self-esteem and vanity, and this arrangement naturally has this layer of purpose.
