This is a city that is about to be on the coast, many years ago, they destroyed all the cities, around a forest, built one prosperous new city after another, on the edge of this prosperous city, already very close to the sea, several new buildings are gradually taking shape, they are slowly expanding the scope of the city, every worker, is a human being as a slave in their eyes.

"Don't be lazy, maybe if you take one less step, you will end up with the consequences of opening the flesh, which is not cost-effective for you, work hard and there will be food in your belly, which is the gift of Gude to you." Every once in a while, the sound of mechanization would be broadcast on the radio, urging people to be busy, and the construction of the Great Building and the "construction team" of thousands of people, with only four overseers, in order to prevent the slaves from dying too easily, they chose to punish the lazy with the most primitive iron whip of mankind, and not many people dared to be lazy under such supervision.

Young Chen and his sister Xi are among the slaves, and they are born to face the fate of enslavement.

Chen is never lazy, he works very diligently every day, carrying materials, building, etc., his movements are very fast, and Xi, as a girl, does not and does not have any lazy behavior, but it will be slower than Chen, but it is still faster than the average person.

The construction of thousands of people, the first floor was quickly built, two or three people sat on the ground tired when the construction was completed, although they got up very quickly, but the next moment, there was still an overseer appeared, the swing of the thick tail dragged up a burst of dust, his face gradually appeared in front of people, similar to human facial features, thick limbs with sharp claws, like a powerful beast, full of science and technology of the black armor tightly attached to his body, The most important thing is that he has a huge body that is nearly 3 meters tall, which makes his every step seem extremely heavy.

He was so angry at this man's lazy behavior that he waved the whip in his hand and slapped mercilessly on the bodies of these workers, and with each whip, there would be an extra bloody mark on his body, deep into the flesh and skin, and the severe pain made them cry hysterically, help, help! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't dare anymore...... He kept rolling on the ground, and kept asking for help and apologizing in his mouth, but unfortunately no one would pay attention to him, no one dared to do this, everyone could only lower their heads and continue to work, everything was a familiar picture in the eyes of people.

The movements in the overseer's hands continued, but the workers' voices became smaller and smaller, and the rolling movements gradually stopped, the overalls and skin that were originally covered with dirt were now slowly stained red with blood, and several fresh lives gradually lost their lives, and when the overseer stopped his movements, what was in front of him was no longer a few workers, but a mess of meat, relying only on bones to link the broken flesh.

"You two come here." The overseer pointed to Chen Hexi, who was working, and pointed to the corpse on the ground, signaling to deal with this mess for him, which was the envy of everyone around, although it was time-consuming to dispose of the corpse, it was effortless, and after disposing of these corpses, it was basically possible to end today's task.

The brother and sister didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took action, Xi took a few bags from the construction site and opened them, and then picked up the blood stains on the ground, Chen was responsible for stuffing the corpse in, a whole three bags, the manager seemed to be very satisfied with the work ability of the two little guys, took out a small cloth bag from the body and threw it to the two of them, Chen didn't see what it was and accepted it, and continued to dispose of the corpse with Xi, the manager put away the whip and left satisfied, as if he had just played a happy game.

Chen carried two large bags of corpses, walking in front, the smell of blood in the bags and the blood that spilled to his shoulders made him a little nauseous, and Xi behind him had begun to retch, Chen said: "Xi, why don't you let me come," his tone was full of distress, "I know you can't stand these things." ”

"No need, thank you, brother," although it was the first time Xi had done this kind of "work", he immediately stopped retching and followed Chen's steps, "If I let my brother help me, we will probably be like people in a bag." ”

"Then let's go faster, deal with it as soon as possible, and today's work will probably be over."

"Hmm." Xi didn't want to say a word anymore, she didn't want the smell of blood to reach her nose.

At the place of work, the body is not buried, but sent to the power plant to be incinerated as fuel. After waiting for the three bags of corpses to be incinerated, a sound wave came from outside the power plant, indicating that the Overseer was going back to the city, which also meant that it was time to rest today.

The only thing worth being happy is the day's work, because Gude is very excited at night, and the activities are frequent, so the Overseers will choose to return to the city before sunset to enjoy, they will be tired, but they will not choose to rest at night, enjoying life seems to make their spirits endless, probably this is why they also give the slaves plenty of rest.

The brother and sister returned to the construction site in the afterglow of the sunset, received their own food, sat side by side near the sea, and ate it, the food was still so hard to swallow, but they had to live, so they didn't have the option not to eat it.

After eating the food in her hand, Xi rested her head on Chen's left shoulder, in this young man, she could show her exhaustion and the heart of a young girl who wanted to have something to rely on, Chen glanced at her, and there was doting in his eyes.

Xi was very clingy to the morning when he was young, and the brother and sister started working from two points in time, but fortunately, they still met together, for the little ghosts of the "feeding period", except for regular food and a limited range of activities, plus a few adult human care, they have almost no restrictions, and the long time together makes the two of them cherish each other, no matter where they are.

Under the afterglow that was about to disappear, the waves on the sea splashed with bursts of reflection, sprinkled in Xi's pupils, and she cried out, "Brother." ”

"Huh?" Chen replied.

"The sea is so beautiful, and the sun is so beautiful," the little girl's innocence is often shown at a glance in front of the closest people, Xi said, the next second, her eyes dimmed, "It's a pity that this era is not beautiful." She looked at the tower, far away, and there was a beam of light in the tower that rushed into the sky, linking humanity's nightmares --- the black hole.

Chen took Xi's hand at this time and said, "Xi, don't worry, one day, I will let your hands never touch dirty things again." ”

This simple promise made this little girl's heart soften all of a sudden, and her eyes were red, it was not the first time she heard his promise, but every time he promised, it was the same, with different sayings, but with the same meaning--- one day, I will make you no longer suffer, it is difficult, it can even be said that it is impossible, but she still chose to believe him.

"I'll wait for that day."

At this time, Chen took out the bag given by the overseer, and inside was two red fruits.

"Brother, it's an apple!" Xi looked at the three fruits in surprise, and her big watery eyes didn't want to leave them for a moment.

The memory of the brother and sister only stays at the last meal before work, everyone can get an apple, practice for them, and everyone can't forget the beautiful color and fruity sweetness of the apple.

Chen took out an apple, wiped it with the edge of the cloth bag, and handed it to Xi, who was about to take the first bite when she suddenly shoved the apple into Chen's mouth

"The older ones eat first." She laughed.

Chen reluctantly took the first bite, Xi saw her brother eat it, so she ate it with peace of mind, she knew that if she didn't do it, Chen would be reluctant to eat, and he left all the good things to Xi.

With the afterglow of the sunset disappearing, night falls, "Let's go, go back early to rest, tomorrow is another busy day." Chen stood up and helped Xi up, and the two were ready to go back to the construction site to rest.

The black tower in the distance stood still, and the young man's heart was somehow a little uneasy.

Suddenly, the sea in the distance burst into flames, and a streamer of light swept across the sea at great speed, smashing a large crater not far away.

As they were about to leave, they chose to go to the big pit to find out because of this huge movement.
