On a long-abandoned mining planet on the edge of the Empire's Western Region, a constant and violent roar can be heard from a col in the Western Hemisphere, a noise characteristic of old-fashioned machinery. At the base of the col is a fairly open flat field, and a large old-fashioned drilling machine about 30 meters high is sending a huge thick drill bit into the ground, and the noisy roar comes from the old and worn machinery.

At the other end of the flat are two rows of simple tin houses and a simple two-story building. The tin houses had no windows, only rough square holes in the roof.

"Bell, bell, bell......"

Suddenly, a rapid electric bell rang.

Under the influence of the roar of machinery, the sound of electric bells is not noticeable. But as soon as the bell rang, there was a noise in the tin house, shouting, beating and scolding......

Soon, people in tattered clothes ran out of the simple tin room, both men and women, and they rushed to the central square, and stood in line facing the east platform.

Under the east side of the square stood more than a dozen men with loaded guns and live ammunition in uniform clothes, their guns pointed at the people in the central square, and their eyes were cold and cruel.

At the same time, a group of men armed with firearms walked into the various tin rooms in groups, and after a few moments, they saw several corpses carried out from the tin rooms. The bodies were also in tatters and were thrown directly onto a truck by the men.

Everyone in the square looked ahead, and no one looked back to inquire about the movement of the tin room behind.

"Ahem, ahem......"

A slightly bloated middle-aged fat man slowly walked up to the square platform and glanced at the nearly a thousand miners below. There was disdain in his eyes, and after a few seconds, he cleared his throat slightly and shouted, "Good morning, miscellaneous people!" A new day has begun, and those lovely diamonds are beckoning to you. Go, use all your strength, and dig them all out for me, and I will reward you well. By the way, I'm going to have a big party tomorrow. The best of you will redeem the deed of sale. Then leave the mine, leave K1, and start their new life of freedom and beauty. Yearn for it! If you want to leave, just work to your heart's content. I don't treat any hard-working crumbs badly. But if you want to be lazy. Quack, mass graves are your fate, do you understand? ”

"Understood." The miners in the audience spoke back.

The middle-aged fat man's eyes flashed. Snorted: "I can't hear you! ”

"Understood."

"I still can't hear you!"

"Understood."

When each of the miners shouted hoarsely, the middle-aged fat man showed satisfaction, and then shouted softly: "Very good! Miscellaneous people, work to your heart's content. ”

Subsequently, a group of miners in the square walked to several mines not far away in an orderly manner. At the entrance of the mine, they received tools to go to the mine and an inferior hunger energy bar, which was their daily ration and the guarantee of their survival.

An Xu followed the woman in front of her with her heavy little feet, the woman was so thin that she was only skinny and bone-like, and her steps were a little dazed, and she might fall down at any moment, but she didn't plan to step forward to help her, because she didn't have much strength.

"Smack!"

A long whip flashed and knocked the woman down.

"Get up."

A man with a scar on his face shouted coldly as he waved a long whip.

The woman endured the pain and tried to get up, but it seemed that she had no strength.

The man with the scar sneered, stepped forward and lifted the woman out with one hand. The woman immediately struggled.

An Su felt a chill in her heart, but her footsteps did not stop at all, and she hurriedly followed the person in front of her, she knew that she would never see that woman again.

"Ah......h

As soon as she walked out of more than ten meters, An Su heard a scream, she didn't look back, but followed the people in front of her, led the mining tools and an inferior hunger energy bar, and then swallowed the energy bar in three or two bites, and walked into the mine.

Looking at the miners pouring into the mine, Tang Hongyun had a sneer on his face, in his eyes, it was a group of miscellaneous pieces bought with money, all he had to do was to drain all their strength, as for the death of miscellaneous pieces, he didn't care about the death. On this K1 mining star, which has been abandoned for many years, there is no longer the power of the Empire, and there are only black mines like him, and these miniature ore veins that the Empire is too lazy to exploit are actually a lot of wealth, and they can be excavated with the most primitive mining methods. As for the miners, although the Empire forbade human trafficking, they could buy a lot of money on the black market for a little money, and cheap offal was an excellent tool for mining, and he could easily recoup his costs by digging up a decent diamond. The mercenaries around them cost more than the crumbs, but everything was worth it, and although they were brutal, they could manage the stupid crumbs.

K1 has been abandoned for many years, and the heavily polluted atmosphere has been slightly relieved, and a shadow of sunlight can still be seen in the gray sky, rising in the east and setting in the west.

As night fell, the miners returned to the Tin House in groups. The tin house is big and has a lot of small rooms apart. Each small room accommodates six people and sleeps on the same huge plank bed.

Ansu dragged her tired little body back to the room step by step, and then took a big sip of water, only then could her hungry stomach barely feel better, and the heavy labor had already consumed the inferior hunger energy bar. Of course, she can also have food, but it must be at the cost of her labor points, a piece of bad quality bread can consume her labor points for one day, and a chicken leg can consume three days of labor points, and she is not willing to consume precious labor points, because as long as she accumulates enough labor points, she can leave this damn mine and leave this deserted planet, which is the promise of the mine owner to the miners, and it is also the goal that she constantly strives for. In this mine, where life is like a dog, she has been in the mine for a year, and she already has more than 300 labor points, and if she persists for another two years, she will be able to accumulate enough 1,000 labor points.

"Hold on, there should be a lot to eat at tomorrow's party." Ansu touched her little belly bulging from the water, then climbed to the corner of the huge wooden bed, looked up, and gazed into the night sky through the small square hole in the tin roof above her head.

In the night sky, in addition to a blurred speck of light, there was also a star, a star that shone brighter than the moon. At this time, she could see the bright star, which was as bright as her brother's eyes, and it shone deep into her heart. (To be continued......)
