Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Quarry
On a small square table in the corner, there were three large soft plastic bowls, each containing rice and a bowl of soup, and there was a plate of vegetables on the table, which had already been cold. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It seems that Changfeng didn't eat either, but where did he go? Look at the room that is not messy, and wonder if he went to Sun Daming? I reached out and touched the lock on the door, and it was actually locked. This guy actually locked me in the house, it's good enough. Look at the watch again, it's half past eleven at noon. I'm not hungry, but I'm bored, and it's a waste to leave it and not eat it, so let's eat it. I won't pick the lock, and I'll have to let him teach him when Changfeng comes back.
Sure enough, just as I was about to finish eating, there was movement outside the door, and then the long wind came in. I watched him methodically close and lock the door, and he really made this his home.
I said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, this is not right for you, how can you throw me alone in the room, and how can you carry me behind my back and secretly meet Sun Daming? Could it be that you have some ulterior motives?"
He said calmly: "How do you know that I have gone to see Sun Daming? Guessing is not a good habit. ”
It seems that I guessed correctly, I pushed the bowl, wiped my mouth, and said with a smile: "What? I tricked you out, you old treacherous and slippery guy can't hold your breath?"
He smiled slightly: "Stinky boy, how can you talk to your brother." In fact, I didn't just look at Sun Daming, but also looked at other people. ”
Seeing that I looked at him with incredible eyes, Changfeng suddenly became serious: "You should know that the living conditions and environment here are relatively better, not because they are not people who have sinned, but because they will be raised healthy and continue to be experimentals." These poor people don't know it, and they feel that they are well treated and live with peace of mind.
But not everyone believed the of the city lord, and they protested, demanding to be sent back to the earth. For those who are so-called disobedient, there are also some old, weak, sick and disabled people, who are sent to the quarry for heavy manual labor. Here, there is a strange ore that is encased in a stone that, if taken out, produces a huge amount of energy......"
"Glitter Stone!" I interrupted Long Wind.
Changfeng nodded: "Yes, Flash Stone, that's what they call it too." This thing is very good, a small piece can emit a lot of energy, but it is not easy to pick, you need to chisel the stone that has been knocked down little by little, and some of it may not be in it. But there is still a lot of use for ore without flashstone, and that is to forge silver iron.
The forged silver and iron are also extremely rare, and you have also learned the power of silver and iron. There were some weak young men and old men in the quarry, because they could not be good test subjects, so they did not waste their resources, squeezed out their last strength, and threw them into the forge when they died, saving even the pit from digging.
These words were spoken by Sun Daming, who had been there and knew the situation there. If we want to subdue the city lord by forceful means, then rescuing those people first should be a good helper. ”
"The old and the weak are helpers?" I scoffed.
Changfeng said: "According to Sun Daming, although most of those people were weak when they were sent, in a difficult environment, those who couldn't resist were already dead, and those who could resist were already hardened after polishing. Now there are about five hundred people there, which can form a good team. Sun Daming provided me with these things just to escape more safely, he wanted to use the lives of those hundreds of people to save himself. But since I know that there are still people who are oppressed, I have to rescue them. ”
I frowned: "Brother, your idea is good, but do we have the ability? Even if we control the city lord, it is only a team of less than five hundred people, against so many guards, can you guarantee that we will escape with our whole body? If there is really damage, then it is better to continue to work as coolies." ”
Changfeng seemed to make a big decision: "I'm going to go to the quarry, talk to them well, see what kind of attitude they have, if they are content to be coolies, forget it." ”
I smiled: "Brother, you really regard this place as your home, can you come and go casually?"
Changfeng also smiled: "Although it's not home, I can really come and go freely." However, this time there is no need to go in and out, Sun Daming told me that there is a secret passage between the prison and the quarry, and those who are caught must be sent to the prison first, and after the inspection, if it is determined that it cannot be used as an experiment, or if they still resist after living for half a month, they will be sent to the quarry through the secret passage. So I just need to find the secret passage and go straight through. ”
I was a little anxious: "Don't always be me, mine, aren't you going to take me?"
Changfeng sat at the table and worked hard to warm up the rest of the soup. I sweat, why didn't I expect it, I felt the dungeon, and even my IQ was much lower.
It wasn't until he took a sip of soup that he smiled and said, "You eat and drink here, and you can resist for a while when you meet someone who comes to check the room or deliver food, the quarry must be dirty and messy, so don't go to such a dirty place." ”
I glared at him viciously: "Do you think that the people who come to the ward round will stop when they see that there is one less person? What do I resist, I won't resist, take me or not, give me a happy word!"
Changfeng finally laughed softly: "Okay, okay, teasing you, at such a critical juncture, how can I leave you alone." ”
I said distrustfully, "You just walked away alone and locked me in the house." ”
Changfeng put on an indifferent look: "I didn't go far, and I went to find Sun Daming." Don't dwell on one thing, don't you want to offend me and don't want to go to the quarry. ”
Phew, when did Changfeng become such a scoundrel, it seems that the dungeon is not a good place, turning a good person into a liar, scoundrel. Forget it, I can't deal with him. As soon as he thought of this, he saw Changfeng frowning: "What do you think?"
I hurriedly smiled: "I didn't think about anything, I think you are my good brother, my protector, I can't eat without you, how can I live without you......"
I was about to go on nonsense, and the long wind slammed a chestnut on my head. "Ouch!" I couldn't help but exclaim, ending the intimate and friendly conversation between the brothers.
Half an hour after dinner, there was indeed a ward round, and the two guards looked into the room at the door a little, and asked what we needed, and I thought to myself, I need to go home, will you let me go? Do you need a computer with Internet access? They heard that they didn't need anything, so they walked away.
After they finished their rounds and walked back, Changfeng stood up, and I knew that he was about to start moving, so he hurriedly asked him, "It's so late, are we going to go to where they live or where they work?"
Changfeng glanced at me: "Do you think they will be treated like here? Of course, they are still working at this time." I heard Sun Daming say that they don't go to bed until 12 o'clock at night and start working at 5 o'clock in the morning. The smelting is also divided into two shifts, so that the furnace fire does not stop. ”
It's true, I'm used to living a comfortable life, forgetting that they are just tools for work.
After walking out of the room, Changfeng still went to the innermost. Passing by Sun Daming's room, I glanced inside, Sun Daming collapsed on the bed like a dead dog, and he was like a drug addict without drugs. I don't know if what such a person says is reliable.
Walking through Sun Daming's room, it was basically a dead end, Changfeng pushed the wall next to Sun Daming's room, and it was easy to push it open. It turned out that this was a large stone door, with exquisite workmanship and tight seams, and it looked like it was a wall. I pushed it curiously, but it was actually very heavy, and it was estimated that ordinary people would have to use a few forces to push it away.
The door was still lit with glitterstone, and the passage was much narrower than the prison's, less than two meters wide. After taking two steps, Changfeng began to perform light work, and I followed, and soon, a large locked iron fence stood in front of us. The lock seems to be strong, but it can only keep those people out.
We walked about a few hundred meters further and began to hear the sound of "dangdang". We crept around and piled up many stones of various sizes in an extremely large space. There were many people who carried stones and hammered them in their hands, and the tools were silver iron the size of wrenches, and they struck skillfully and mechanically, one after the other.
The thought of them being separated from their families, working as coolies in this underground where they may never be able to get out, felt like their hearts were broken. We looked around closely, and when we saw that there were no guards, we poked our heads out and approached them.
When they saw our sudden appearance, they were all stunned for a moment, and their hands stopped, and Changfeng raised a finger to "shhhh ”
The men looked at us suspiciously, but their hands continued to beat, only slowly. Changfeng spoke, he used internal force to transmit, and his voice was penetrating: "Don't panic, I know that you are all people on the ground, and so are we." Originally, we were going to leave on our own, but when we heard that you were here, we decided to take you out, would you like to?"
There was an immediate commotion among the men, and soon a thin old man and two strong middle-aged men came over among them. The old man said to everyone, "You work first, and we will talk to these two." ”
With that, they led us to a corner, and the men obediently went on with their work. I looked at them, and the old man was dry and thin, and his face was a little pale because he rarely saw light, but he was in good spirits. The two middle-aged men, although they were taller and stronger than the old man, were equally pale.
The old man spoke: "Who are you, and when were you arrested?
