Kilometers of crops are scattered on both sides of the road, giving the illusion of endless sight.

Seeing this, you may wonder how the wasteland, which has always been synonymous with drought and heat, is only slightly better than the desert, how can there be such a continuous field of crops and plants? Could it be that it has produced a mirage landscape like that is common in the desert? The answer, of course, is no, what you see is not a mirage, but the existence of a real wife.

The wasteland is water-scarce, but it refers to the surface, and underground, the wasteland is very rich in water. As long as you dig one or two hundred meters deep, there will be a large stream of water. Just look at the river settlement where Chen Wangge is located, the underground river is even more than ten meters deep from the ground.

But no matter what, there are still many conditions for growing such a large area of crops in the wasteland. For example, if you find a place with a lot of soil, the soil is not very alkaline, and you must have enough water for irrigation. With all of this, it's a lot of manpower to take care of these crops.

Before the end of the world, people's lives could not be just labor, they had all kinds of other things to do. In other words, the crops are not the only ones for them, they are just enough to eat, they need to make money. Inevitably, the time spent on crops is very small.

In such a situation, in an environment where the conditions are harsh, it is naturally unlikely that people will come to plant crops.

It's just that it's different here, and as far as the eye can see, you can see countless people working in this endless field of crops, and almost every few meters, there will be a person who takes care of the crops. The scene of tens of thousands of people working in the fields, even if some of them are hidden from time to time, is also very spectacular.

Their work was not to weed, but to carry water up from deep wells, to carry it to the crops, and to carefully irrigate the roots of the crops. In a short time, some petrified mud is crushed with a small hammer, sometimes the soil is loosened for the crops, and the wood ash after the manure and plant clothes are burned gently buried in a place where the crops can absorb.

You can't imagine that their job is to take care of these crops from morning to night.

This horrific use of manpower, which is also responsible for sections, allows crops to enjoy adequate irrigation three times a day.

As long as you see this scene, you will understand that this seemingly endless crop is planted in this situation, which consumes people's huge labor power, improves the soil quality little by little, and after two or three years, the soil quality gradually improves.

If it were other settlements, such a huge labor intensity would not have existed. But here it is different, the people who work, they are slaves, they have lost their freedom, and they are left with numb labor. Taking care of the crops is their most basic job, and as long as they complete the tasks assigned above, they will have food to eat and will not be punished.

Don't think that slavery is the same as slavery in ancient times. As long as you really understand the system practiced here, you will understand that the so-called slavery here is just what people call them, not like slaves in ancient times, completely devoid of human rights. The system here is more like the black factories of the old era, where the foremen suppressed, so that the hungry people in order to survive can only endure heavy labor in exchange for a pitiful amount of food.

That's right, the system here is a combination of the factory system of the old era and the system of the slave era with a strong oppressive labor system.

The people who are willing to join this settlement, for them, what is it to be able to eat a little bit of hard work every day? At least it's much better than eating the last meal outside, and I don't know where the next meal will be. For people from the outside world to call them spineless, call them slaves, in front of being able to eat, it becomes unimportant.

The crops are indeed very hard in the fields, the temperature in the wasteland is very high, and the people who are assigned to fields like sorghum and corn are better, and they can somewhat block out the sun. For example, the people who were assigned to fields like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and watermelons were miserable, almost working under the scorching sun, and the result was that the skin on their bodies fell off layer after layer. There are not a few people who die under the scorching sun.

Today's sun, the same as in the past, is so hot that people shudder.

However, the people who used to be all silently cultivating have become a little unusual today, and they will talk a few words from time to time. Even the overseers were soulless, secretly grabbing a colorful poster in their hands, peeking at it from time to time, and for fear of being seen and sealed, they would go into their pockets from time to time.

"You say, is what this poster says true?" A young overseer raised the poster in his hand and discussed it with his buddy.

An elderly overseer, holding a whip in his hand, glared at him and said, "Haizi, can you move a little smaller?" Want to show up to the top? He pointed to the piece of iron on his chest that represented the overseer, and said with a cold face; You have to remember how much effort it took us to get this piece of iron, and don't lose the position of overseer because of something out of nothing. Do you want to work day and night, day and night, as you did before? ”

was known as Haizi, but he sneered in his heart and said: "Yang Hui, put away your businessman's routine, I've known you for three years, and I still don't know you?" It's hard for us to get our hands on this piece of iron, but let's not forget, where are we now? Who doesn't get into the city life? The system here, even if the Lulu become overseers, is only a little better than ordinary people, and it is not at the mercy of others to slaughter? ”

Haizi placed the poster in the crop field, praised it with a sigh of praise in his mouth, and said, "I just don't know if it's true?" If it's true, I must go somewhere to achieve my dreams. When he saw the huge body of the airship, he was even more fascinated......

Yang Hui's originally indifferent expression slowed down and said, "I'm not worried that someone will tell me with their toes that this poster is a conflict with our system. He pointed to the dozens of laborers he was watching, and said, "If you look at their looks, you should also know the content of the poster." Think about it, here is tired and tired, you can only barely eat, and you are executed at every turn, know this. A person with a message, who will stay here with peace of mind? ”

Zhou Yuanqiang's strategy is really successful, especially for this special settlement of slavery, Zhou Yuanqiang has used a lot of money, and under the heavy reward, there will naturally be brave men who jump out and throw a large number of posters into it. A huge forest of crops. Even Stone Town, a colony with a guard force, has been plastered with posters everywhere.

Under this kind of advertising offensive, coupled with the shock of the news, it is natural to spread ten, ten, hundred, and thousand...... It was only a few hours before almost the entire people of Stone Town knew the news. Look at the people who are already absent-minded despite still working, and you can see how much of a shock this news has hit them.

Now that there is an overseer, they can't talk, but from their eyes, they can still see a thick burning ** fire.

Yes, no one can refuse the temptation on this poster, especially the bright clothes, which make people have a deep yearning. No matter how pure your heart is, in the face of your tattered clothes, you have to admit that you are beginning to be moved. And stable city life, strong guardian force, and mechanized farming land...... It all means that this is paradise, where you can eat and dress and live a new life, instead of staying in this damn place.

When people have no choice, most of them will accept their fate i1 just like they lived here before, there is no choice, only to try to learn to adapt to everything here.

But these three different posters appeared, like a boulder, fiercely thrown into this pool of stagnant water, excited the splash of the sky, and turned the entire waterhole into a huge spiral nest, giving everyone an extra choice.

It seems that there is nothing, but people who have a choice in their hearts, just need a little spark, and they will burn violently, burning all the blocking forces.

As the center of slavery as a whole, Stone Town marked a new paradigm of rule.

It was a large settlement and got its name Stone Town because of the extensive use of stone as a building material. Stone Town is divided into inside and outside, the outer layer is where ordinary people live, and the stone houses are made of wood, and the top is made of wood as a ceiling, and then covered with a thick layer of corn and sorghum stalks, which is a house.

But the inner city is different, it resembles a palace, made of square boulders, and it is very grand.

People who don't know naturally have a sense of shock. But those who know are full of disgust for this palace-like inner city. Quite simply, because of the construction of this palace-like inner city, there were thousands of people who died because of overwork. You can't imagine that behind this grandeur is a pile of flesh and blood.

Because it is made of boulders, the thickness is very large, and the exposure to the sun is too resistant, which does not affect the temperature inside. People are inside, there is a faint coolness, indescribable comfort.

It's just that this kind of coolness, for Sun Wanru, he doesn't feel a trace of coolness, on the contrary, he feels that he is being grilled on the fire, and sweat appears drop by drop. It's not that the air here is hot, but the real culprit is the three posters on the stone table, and everything on them is like a fire, grilling...... It's hard to live in peace.

Sun Wanru's name looks elegant, but he is the pyramid of the real ruling stage of the entire Stone City, holding the ultimate power of the entire Stone City. And this improved system is from the pen of Sun Wanru, who used to be a professor of psychology, and the system formulated by his grasp of people's hearts makes people feel oppressed at the same time, but they will not have the heart of resistance.

It is precisely by taking advantage of this human psychology that he slowly gathered more people from a small team of a few people, from a small settlement to a large settlement. This kind of system, in the exhibition, is also becoming more and more perfect. Now that it has been said that it has entered a mature period, if there are no huge external factors, Sun Wanru is confident that this system can bind the people under his rule for a lifetime.

For the nearby settlements, he will not be afraid at all, the more than 100,000 people he has armed out, the combat effectiveness is definitely the largest in the vicinity. Coupled with the special system, the abundance of food is guaranteed, just like having a thick checkbook, waving the money at will, and selling anyone who stands in the way for his own use.

In the last days, food is the greatest weapon. Several crises started because of food, but ended because of food. Sun Wanru is well aware of the inferior roots of human beings, so as soon as there is something unfavorable to him, he will immediately use food to break these so-called alliances. After a few times, no one can beat his domination anymore.

Sun Wanru originally thought that he could sit back and enjoy this kind of apocalyptic emperor-like Hui Ju, but these three games, the poster's out-of-the-box, completely shattered his life! He almost didn't roll out of bed when he received the poster.

Seeing Sun Wanru walking back and forth, several dog-headed military advisors next to him were all nervous, and one of them, an old man in his fifties with two strands of goatee, said cautiously: "City Lord, I see this news, the ** of ten is fake." In these last days, under the pursuit of zombies, human beings are like lost dogs, how can they capture the city? As if talking about pride, he picked up the poster and said disdainfully: "Look at their poster, there is an airship on it, and the level of fraud is indeed only to deceive a three-year-old child." ”

Someone opened their mouths, and the others also became bolder, "I think too, city lord, could it be another ghost trick that some restless people came up with?" Intended to challenge our system, away from the people under our hands? ”

"I agree with this statement, now that the autumn harvest is ready, the poor and crazy people will always find a way to come out and ask for some food from us. Well, this kind of ghost trick has been played a few times, will we still be fooled? Before, we were not strong, but now we have enough troops under our command, and they are all armed. City Lord, in my opinion, whoever jumped out to make trouble this year just gave us an excuse to expand and annex them. ”

Sun Wanru's heart moved, and he always thought that his ambition became bigger and bigger with the abundance of personnel.

It's not that he doesn't want to do something to other settlements, it's just that the settlements here are very complicated, and they are all humans, and if you resist zombies, no one will say you, and someone will help you. But if you attack the same kind, it will definitely cause public anger, after all, in this area, all the settlements combined, the number of people is several times that of your own, and when you conflict, your own efforts over the years will be in vain, and you will cheapen others in vain.

This is also the reason why Sun Wanru made his laborers eat and dress well, that is, he was afraid that too bloody oppression would attract resistance and dissatisfaction from other settlements.

As I said earlier, if someone is really deliberately targeting themselves, isn't that a good excuse? When the time comes, after annexing a few settlements, his own strength will be even larger, once he assimilates the annexed personnel, with a population of more than 100,000 to nearly 200,000, it is not easy to incorporate the gasket area into his stone city?

Sun Wanru coughed lightly, and several kobold military advisors immediately stopped arguing.

"Whether it's true or not, the first thing we have to do now is to send people to arrest the people who spread these posters to our Stone Town; The second thing is to confiscate all the posters, and anyone who does not hand them over will be exposed to the sun for one day; The third thing is to gather information from the outside world to see if it is targeted, or if the whole area is spreading this kind of poster, and gather more information. ”

After Sun Wanru finished speaking, he thought about it and said, "I always feel that this matter is a little weird......

With Sun Wanru's instructions, a large number of Stone Town soldiers went out one after another, and they went in every house to rummage, tore up the posters posted in the city, and then rushed into the crop fields to confiscate and tear up the posters. At the same time, people were sent to the bazaar to collect information about the posters.

When collecting the poster, it is inevitable that there will be some violence, naturally, the people below become panicked, and their hearts become more eager for what is said on the poster, but it is okay not to collect, as soon as it is collected, Sun Wanru's heart becomes heavier.

Judging by the news, it seems that this is facing a storm in the whole strip. As for who caused this storm, not many people know about it, only that it was the people of the river dwelling who touched it. However, Sun Wanru's methods are not difficult to obtain the most authentic news. He knew that it had been passed down from a few people from the former Breadtree Village.

Zhou Yuanqiang had expected such a leak for a long time, but the news he spread was originally intended to win the trust of others, so naturally it was necessary to let people know that someone from Qingyuan City had arrived here, and there was no such thing as secrecy.

In order to increase people's awareness of Qingyuan City, there is also a deep belief in the authenticity of the poster. Zhou Yuanqiang had to connect to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, told his current location, and asked them to bring the first part of "The Storm in the Last Days" that had been edited, and directly broadcast the film in the open air to show the history of the Chamber of Commerce's struggle in front of everyone.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't believe that with these two movies, he couldn't conquer him.

Now half of his ring task has been completed, that is, the settlement of more than 20,000 people, and the remaining half is how to absorb 5,000 people to join the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang doesn't have to worry about this, as long as the film is broadcast, what he believes is that people will naturally act on horseback, even if they don't believe it, they will be in a wait-and-see state, as long as the exact news comes back, Zhou Yuanqiang believes that they will definitely make the most correct choice.

Zhou Yuanqiang, who was busy, of course he didn't know that Sun Wanru, who had already gotten the news, was sneering, for Sun Wanru, whether it was aimed at himself or not, but the appearance of the poster had a fatal blow to his system, for his own rule, he had to do something...
