Chapter 5 Iron and Steel Works
Inside Shepan Mountain, the hollowed-out mountain is covered with haphazard supports. The central melting pot is steaming and illuminates the entire cavern.
A group of dark-skinned men shouted slogans and pulled a few iron cables to move the newly hunted car shell above the furnace and loosen the iron claws. The body of the car fell into the furnace and slowly sank, and the molten slurry quickly flowed out of the rails at the other end and sent to the forging room.
Some dexterous people grabbed the slings and slashed over the furnace, going back and forth between the various supports, and the slightest mistake would fall into the fiery cauldron below, which was terrifying to watch.
The horseman and his convoy knelt on one knee in front of the main hall, their hands crossed in a cross shape in front of their chests, and their expressions were solemn.
The people of the temple turned around, and the huge rudder embedded in the back of the leather armor was reflected by the fire behind them, casting a long shadow on them, and they were bathed in holy light, and the glory was incomparable.
"Prophet Keel, thank you for showing us the way!"
"We offer you fresh iron, to the great ark."
"Save us, before the flood!"
The dragon bone put his left hand, which had been converted into an iron hook, to the corner of his eye, and greeted them, and with his right hand he picked up the microphone and responded in a deep voice: "The sins of the world will be washed away, and we will go to the other side on the ark." ”
The words reverberated throughout the steel mill, and the responses were numerous.
His Highness's hands trembled and let out a long howl, and then they returned to their posts and began to assemble the hull. The other group went deeper underground by slings, picking up long whips to supervise the minering slaves.
The keel walked to the guardrail of the main hall, looked at the already large ark, and grinned nervously.
The frame had been built, the shell had been half laid out, and a large number of slaves were working on the other parts of the ark. It seems that in his lifetime, he can really see the completion of this ship.
"Prophet, Iron Dog's convoy has returned." One of his men ran and said, "But something is wrong. ”
"What's going on?"
"They were tied to the back of the trunk, as if they had been robbed."
The dragon bone said disdainfully: "He will actually be caught by the bandits, it seems that he will be deprived of his glorious surname." "He didn't care about the kidnapping of the iron dog, it wasn't that there were no gangs that wanted to attack this place before, but the terrain of Shepan Mountain has an absolute advantage, and those who don't measure themselves will learn a lesson.
Under his command, a section of the furnace's rails was diverted by the slaves to the outlet, just waiting for them to enter the winding road.
The convoy drove along the spiraling road and soon reached the entrance of the vehicle, which was blocked by the closed gate there.
The keel waited, and he knew they would choose to get out of the car and walk up the hill, because the gate couldn't even be blown open. And when they reach the bottom of the outlet, the molten steelmaking that falls from the sky will scald them until there is no slag left.
He raised his intact right hand, ready to give the order. However, he saw that the men got out of the car, and one of them slashed the gate a few times, and the four-legged tin monster behind him pushed the gate open.
"Guards, go down there!" The keel hurriedly shouted.
The five intruders and the tin beast were surrounded by guards and stopped at the door. The people of the steel mill looked at the strange shapes of several of them, and they were a little nervous, especially in the face of the tin beast, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Who are you?"
The men did not answer, but looked around with interest, curious about the environment of the steel mill.
One of the bald heads said to the others, "Wait a minute, don't spoil the decorations." ”
What a guy who doesn't know what to do! The dragon bone glared at each other angrily, and commanded condescendingly: "Give it to me, sacrifice these heretics to the ark!" ”
Hearing his words, the guards all became excited, abandoned their previous hesitation, and rushed towards several of them.
The battle took some time, and it was a troublesome task for some people who could easily destroy the entire plant to control the strength of their hands and not to beat the enemy into meatloaf.
The dragon bone stared blankly at the scene below, and the guards sent were knocked to the ground one by one, and the other party didn't seem to have done much. He hurriedly stepped back, pulled down a rope, and opened several cage doors.
A wild bark was heard, and the saliva-biting mad dogs galloped out.
Several people subconsciously retreated, but the girl in white was still standing at the front, glaring at the group of dogs viciously. The mad dogs, who usually can tear people to pieces in less than a few seconds, were stared back by this star, and they grabbed their tails and tried to escape.
The girl strode forward and cut several dogs in two, not letting one escape. The last dog was pinched in her hand and slammed into the ground a dozen times, turning into a lump of rotten meat before she would give up.
"What the hell do you dare to let a dog out in front of me? The thing I hate most right now is dogs! The white dragon raised his eyes to the keel, jumped on it and knocked him down, slapping him several times.
Xuanzang hurriedly ran up the stairs to check, but fortunately this time she was measured, and she didn't even faint. However, the teeth of the keel were knocked out, and his face was covered with blood, which was so miserable.
"Hello, can you still talk?" He asked keel.
The other only let out a frightened whimper.
Xuanzang sighed, picked up a microphone nearby, and said to the audience: "This place has been controlled by us, and there is no point in resisting." But don't panic, cooperate with our work, and there will be no harm. ”
A few people who had walked halfway to this side before saw that they no longer had the courage to go up to challenge again, so they secretly turned around and ran down the path.
"Don't try to run away, it will only add to your suffering." Xuanzang looked at those who were knocked out and dragged back, and added.
The slaves with the collars around their necks looked at him blankly, and their overseers were now crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands, causing them to fall into confusion for a moment and squat down as well. Xuanzang wanted to gather the slaves, but he didn't see them acting.
"Big, big brother...... "You have to use a whip as a crouching man cautiously prompted." ”
Xuanzang looked at the whip at his feet and sighed. He told the overseers to hand him all the whips, and threw them all into the central furnace without falling to the ground.
"No one is going to whip you anymore, don't be afraid, come here."
The slaves remained silent.
Wukong watched all this with a complicated mood, he clenched his fists, jumped in front of several slaves, and scared them a lot, but he didn't dare to run away, so he had to collapse to the ground with his legs limp.
He lifted the collar around the neck of one of the slaves, found the location of the bomb, and clasped his hands tightly. The slaves on the side covered their eyes in fright, unable to bear to witness the tragedy. After a few moments, there was a slight muffled sound in Wukong's palm, and a few wisps of smoke came out, leaving the slave unharmed.
Several people were finally convinced that the collar had been successfully lifted, and they all looked at Goku, their cloudy eyes slowly lit up.
"Stand up." Goku said to the slave, then raised his voice and said to the slaves throughout the cave, "Stand up and come over yourself." Don't you even have the courage to do that? Freedom cannot be relied upon by the charity of others. Stand up! ”
One of the slaves hesitated, glanced at the overseer, who did not dare to move, and slowly moved.
The people around him looked at each other and followed hesitantly.
More and more slaves stood up and gathered around Goku.
The white dragon and the canopy also joined in, and their collars were lifted one by one, but there was still confusion in their eyes.
"We ...... Free? "But what should we do now?" someone muttered. ”
Goku said, "Do what you want." ”
They looked around blankly, their eyes falling on the overseer next to them, and their faces were grim.
"No, don't do it!" Xuanzang stopped.
Wukong looked at him, "Why?" They are already free. ”
"Freedom is not about doing as you please, and it is not about doing things wantonly."
"But they deserve revenge."
"It's not revenge, it's a fall. If they really want revenge, they should rely on their own strength. ”
Wukong shook his head and said, "They are whipped, they are enslaved, and these people can kill them at the touch of a button." How could they resist without the help of external forces? ”
"Because you have been enslaved, you need to control the hatred in your heart. But it is precisely because they have been enslaved that they will have more determined power. Xuanzang looked at those slaves and said slowly, "Rekindling that power is what we should do." ”
