Chapter Twenty-Six: Battle Table

As always, in order to avoid suspicion among others, they dug in different places.

Bang!

Bang!

Kong Qing casually threw a source stone into the back basket behind him.

Looking at the man who was also digging on the side, Kong Qing realized that the man was blind in one eye.

"Uncle!" Kong Qing called out to the man, putting away his iron pickaxe.

Seeing that the uncle didn't react, Kong Qing was stunned, "Is it necessary to be cold?"

Just as he was about to pick up the iron pickaxe again, the thick-eyed man on the other side said to Kong Qing, "Little brother, he is deaf and can't hear you."

Kong Qing hurriedly looked back, "Deaf?"

The thick-eyed man nodded, "I was by someone else on the battle table some time ago, you shouldn't be there?"

Hearing this, Kong Qingcai pursed his lips, relieved in his heart, "Oh, so that's the case"

Seeing that Kong Qing no longer spoke, the thick-eyed man also picked up an iron pickaxe and continued to dig.

In fact, Kong Qing really wanted to ask about the situation here.

But if you really ask, then you will expose yourself, there are tens of thousands of slaves here, who can guarantee that he will not cause any trouble to himself.

After Kong Qing's observation, everyone's task here is also five boxes, and after completing the task, you can go directly to the outside to get steamed buns, and Kong Qing is surprised that the steamed buns here can be eaten as much as you want, but you can only eat them outside, and you can't bring them into the mining area.

Because there are still people in the mining area who have not completed their tasks, if they are found to have brought steamed buns into the mining area for others to eat, they will only be executed.

People who don't complete their tasks are also denied access to food or even sleep, as in other mining areas.

In the evening, Kong Qing and the four of them had not yet learned the general situation of the 14th District, so they could only do their own thing, in order not to be selected by the superintendent, and called to the battle platform.

Kong Qing carried the source stone and prepared to walk outside the mine

As soon as Kong Qing walked out of the mine, he found dozens of big men standing in a row, as long as someone came over with the source stone, they would check it, and then the big man would bring the source stone to the back.

After a set of processes is done, you can go in and eat steamed buns.

Kong Qing also learned from others to carry the source stone over, and when Kong Qing walked in, he found that these big men were all slaves here, and the imprint on his face was clearly visible.

After taking a look, Dahan slowly lifted the Kong Qing Source Stone and placed it in the distance where the Source Stone was stored.

Looking at the people around him, Kong Qingcai lowered his head and walked in slowly.

There are still a lot of people who have completed the task, and when I look up, there are already hundreds of people in the field.

On the other side stood seven or eight overseers, each sitting in a row on the Teng chair.

There was nothing special about the other regulators, and the only one that caught Kong Qing's attention was the one in the middle.

About twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with red flowing hair, eyes like eagles, extremely sharp, and wearing the same Yunjin martial arts uniform as the martial artists outside, but this one on his body is more unique than other martial artists.

Not only the background color is bright red, but the blood-red cloud silkworm is embroidered with the edge outline, and the lock pattern is carved on its body.

Kong Qing's first feeling is unfathomable, he is definitely a strong man!

There are many dilapidated tables in front of the superintendent, there are many wooden barrels on the tables, and the bowls of liquid in the superintendent's hands do not know whether they are water or wine, and the superintendent enjoys this feeling comfortably.

Behind the crowd was a basket of steamed buns, and after Kong Qing's observation, as long as they were over forty years old, they would return to the mine after eating the steamed buns, while the big man and some young people would stay where they were, waiting for the order of supervision.

In fact, Kong Qing thought that if he delayed the task until midnight, he would not be selected by the supervisor to participate in the fight, and then he learned that there would be no steamed buns to eat after the time of the war (nine o'clock in the evening).

This dooms everyone to have to complete the task before this, otherwise they will only starve.

In a mining area where one meal a day is not enough, it is okay to be hungry for one day, but the next day it is certainly not the strength to work, and once there is no energy the next day, it will lead to the inability to complete the task by the next day's meal, and you will continue to starve.

If you starve for a few days in a row, you will definitely lose your strength while digging, and then starve to death and die of exhaustion, which is also the difference between the 14th District and other mining areas, and other mining areas may still have some tree roots, weeds or something.

District 14 is completely bare, except for the mines that are still mines.

Kong Qing slowly walked through the crowd, picked up the steamed buns and swallowed them in a big gulp, and after eating six or seven steamed buns in a hurry, Kong Qing walked to the water tank on the other side, picked up a scoop and scooped up a scoop of not very clean water.

After a few simple sips, Kong Qingcai sat quietly in the crowd.

After a while, Kong Qing saw Jiang Wen also walking in front of the big man with the source stone.

Jiang Wen also noticed Kong Qing after looking around left and right, and Kong Qing hurriedly nodded.

Jiang Wen also slowly picked up a few steamed buns and walked to Kong Qing's side casually.

"How's it going?" Jiang Wen asked in a low voice.

Kong Qing shook his head, "It's not clear, but there are so many people here, so we don't have to worry too much."

Jiang Wen nodded, "Okay"

Kong Qing also casually took a steamed bun from Jiang Wen's hand, pinched a small piece and put it into his mouth as a gift.

After a while, the figures of Gu Feng and Guangtao also appeared on the hollow outside the mine.

Kong Qing hurriedly stood up, Gu Feng and Guang Tao were already looking for Kong Qing left and right, Kong Qing just got together, Gu Feng and the two noticed Kong Qing in the distance.

"How's it going?" Gu Feng also asked.

"Take a look!" Kong Qing replied.

Jiang Wen looked at the increasingly dense crowd around him, and said in a low voice, "Let's separate first."

After Kong Qing and the three of them nodded, they each got up and left, mingling in four different positions in the crowd.

The last half hour passed quietly, and dozens of big men also walked to the back of the crowd and carried away all the baskets of steamed buns.

One of the overseers slowly stood up and strode onto the wooden platform.

As far as the eye can see, the field is already crowded with people, and these people are the main labor force in the mining area.

In addition to the young children and people over forty years old, there are still seven or eight thousand people here.

The supervisor glanced around, smiled faintly, and immediately said loudly, "Today's entertainment time is up, I'll start selecting people next!"

As soon as the superintendent's voice fell, he smiled coldly, and then quickly took out two source stones from behind him.

Bang bang!

The two source stones immediately hit the shoulders of the two men with unmistakable accuracy.

The man who was hit turned pale and collapsed to the ground in an instant, looking at the superintendent on the wooden platform with no master.

The surrounding crowd hurriedly made way for the man.

Seeing that the two men were falling to the ground, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to walk to the battle platform, the supervisor frowned, slowly took out two source stones from behind him, and then waved his arm suddenly.

Burst!

Poof!

The surrounding crowd only saw two lines of blood in the air, and the two men spat out blood again and then fell to the ground, not moving.

The surrounding crowd hurriedly retreated, and several big men also quickly walked into the crowd and carried the bodies of the two men out.

The supervisor looked at the somewhat flustered crowd, and without thinking about it, two more source stones were thrown.

Bang bang!

In an instant, it hit the shoulders of the two men, and although one of the big-eared men was afraid, he still forced his legs onto the battle table.

Another thick-armed man saw that his opponent had already walked up, and after a short hesitation, he also slowly walked to the battle platform.

After all, there is already a lesson from the past, and it is possible to live if you stand up, and if you don't go up, there is only a dead end.

When both men stepped onto the stage, the Superintendent pulled out two more daggers and threw them on the ground, and then said slowly, "Let's start the game"

After speaking, the overseer stepped off the stage and returned to his place.

The two people on the field were watching each other in fear, and you could tell from their trembling legs that they were in a state at the moment.

Just when Kong Qing thought that they would not make a move, the thick-armed man was the first to move, his eyes suddenly widened, and he held the dagger on the ground with a roll.

After the big-eared man saw the change in the face of the thick-armed man, he also threw himself at the dagger on the ground at the same time.

The two of them got the daggers almost at the same time.

The big-eared man held the dagger in both hands, his breath was short, and his face was pale, "You must die!

"You're damned!" the thick-armed man shouted, stabbing at the big-eared man.

Bang!

I saw that the big-eared man took the dagger of the thick-armed man with his bare hands.

"Ahh

But no matter how hard the thick-armed man tried, the big-eared man still held the dagger in his hand.
