"Your task today is 250 tons, if you don't complete it, don't expect it to come up!"

A vicious man commanded the large crowd of miners in the mine.

Behind him was a whole team of fully equipped combat soldiers, and if anyone resisted, there was only one end.

Soon, the miners who heard today's task whispered, and they were a little dissatisfied with the task arrangement.

"TMD, it was only 150 tons a day before, and now it costs 250 tons, when we are robots."

"Do we still have human rights, the miners at a depth of 100 meters above are only this task, how can we withstand the kilometer layer?"

"Originally, the mining time of 150 tons will be 10 hours, when will the 250 tons arrive?"

"I feel a little overwhelmed...."

The fierce man clearly heard these complaints, his eyes narrowed, and he walked straight to the few people who spoke softly.

The tall figure pressed straight over, causing the people to swallow.

"It seems that a few of you think the tasks I have arranged are not reasonable enough??"

When he said this, he smiled slightly, like a kind overseer.

No one dared to speak.

Suddenly, the man grabbed the neck of the person who took the lead in complaining and lifted him up directly.

He threw a heavy punch at the person who was lifted, causing the opponent to vomit instantly, and then threw him to the brown ground in the distance, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Then he looked around and shouted:

"Lao Tzu will tell you again, as the population of a defeated country, you must have the appearance of a defeated country, you don't have complete human rights in the empire, if you force Lai Lai again, I will kill you with one shot!"

There was silence and no opposition.

"Don't be stunned, get to work!"

The entire mining area is hundreds of kilometers large, and the brown and yellow ground is full of wind and dust, and occasionally a few small whirlwinds are seen drifting by.

Soon, the mining equipment began to operate, emitting countless roaring sounds.

Davis took a deep breath, put on his mask, the sound of protection turned on, and after inspecting his worn-out mining equipment, he approached a certain place with a group of miners.

Then take the sedimentation machine to the kilometer-deep ore seam.

Even though everyone was mining the minerals in the same layer, the physical and mental fatigue made them have no desire to talk.

Davis, now 31 years old, was a maintenance engineer for the Imperial fleet.

Since his empire was defeated by the Kazuma Empire, not only was his family property confiscated, but he was also captured and turned into a miner.

The human rights of the Kangama Empire are divided into five levels, and the lowest ones are the population and felons of the defeated empire like them.

Although they can still be called human beings, they are basically treated like slaves.

They do the dirtiest and heaviest work, and the mortality rate remains high.

Davis gritted his teeth and persevered for a few months before he finally accumulated enough upgrade points to be promoted to a fourth-level citizen.

Although the treatment of fourth-level citizens is not much better, at least they can do some less dangerous jobs.

"In just another week, we'll be able to leave the building, Matsukiko......"

No matter how hard it is, getting his wife and himself out of the dilapidated mansion is Davis's belief that has persisted until now.

Boom! Gollum!

The settler collided with the connector of the next stage, making a loud noise.

When it is said to be a kilometer layer, it actually refers not to 1,000 meters, but to 1,000-5,000 meters.

As the depth gradually increases, the temperature also gets higher and higher, and by the time it bottoms out, the average temperature is at least 50 degrees or more.

Eventually, another loud bang rang out, and when a sturdy sensation came from beneath their feet, they knew that the work area had arrived.

After stepping down the sinker, they walked out, and eight passages broken by the deep shield machine appeared in front of them, and the sound of mechanical vibration was heard frequently.

Davis' work for the day begins.

All the minerals from the grinding of the ore layer by the mining equipment are collected and poured into the conveyor to transport them to the surface.

Seemingly simple, oppressive atmosphere and extremely high temperatures, coupled with the violent mining of mining equipment, collapses occur from time to time.

Everyone is working with trepidation.

After four hours of work and shoveling the scattered minerals back into the conveyor, Davis began to eat his working meal.

A piece of compressed food, and a bottle of purified water.

Then there was another hard work for four hours, followed by a short break for another four hours.

He was relieved when he finally completed the 250-ton task.

"Good luck today, it's ..... ahead of the expected completion time"

Exhausted, Davis submitted today's mining information and began to ascend to the ground in a sinking plane.

As for those who haven't finished yet, they can only leave after mining the mission objectives below.

By the time Davis was back on the ground, it was already night.

"Hello, the numbered 114115116 has completed today's task and is now applying for work point settlement."

Davis dragged his heavy body to the work settlement area, squeezed out a smile and bowed his head to the accounting staff.

The accountant didn't even look at him, chewed on the plant and wood products that could make people refresh, and said lightly: "There is still 1 ton short of the preset 250 tons." ”

Davis sneered, "How could it be, I counted the quantities twice." ”

The accountant raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "What, you mean I miscalculated?" ”

"......" Davis fell silent, sighed and shook his head, "No, no, maybe I was wrong. ”

"That's right, what to do, you know?"

"Hmm..... Understood, understood. ”

Davis reluctantly accepted the 100 credits he had earned so hard today, and then transferred some of them to the accounting staff.

Even if the accounting personnel break the law, who would dare to report it?

Not long after, Davis took the train back to the building.

The residential buildings are not far from the mining area, and hundreds of thousands of people live in 20 buildings, which is very dense.

Not only is the environment dirty and messy, but there are also many defeated countries with a complex population composition.

It's okay to be like Davis, and it's only ten square meters to get a couple's room.

Therefore, the two worked hard in order to leave the collective building and move to a slightly better stacked area.

"Hey, I got off work a little late today, and I don't know if Matsukiko helped me heat up the rice, so I really don't want to eat synthetic food anymore....."

Davis walked through the tall buildings, many people hurrying, all trying to survive.

Looking up at the building, it was the temporary residence of him and Matsukiko, and the lights were still on.

"What, are you still waiting for me?" Davis smiled, a slight smile on his face.

What is certain is that he and Matsukiko are very much in love.

"No, it's the ........ guards standing at the door?"

Davis stared intently, and there were actually several guards standing in front of his house.

In the dormitory, the guards, as combatants to maintain law and order, have very large authority, and it is not a good thing to provoke them.

Uneasy, Davis began to pick up his pace and walk towards the tall building.

When he arrived at the door, two soldiers stood in front of him.

"What do you do with the guards?"

Listening to some sounds coming from the house, Davis was anxious, but he still smiled: "Two uncles, my resident number is 114115116, and the one inside is my wife, they are just ordinary residents, they shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?" ”

"Huh~ I see...... "The soldier guarding the door and his teammates glanced at each other and smiled a little playfully.

Then he shrugged his shoulders and said to Davis, "Well, our captain is talking to your wife about something, and the meeting will be over later." ”

The smile on Davis's face froze, a flame rose in his heart, and he gritted his teeth a little and said: "Although we are a defeated country, we still have basic human rights, no matter what happens, I, as a husband, also have the right to know." ”

The soldiers guarding the gate were unmoved.

The room was louder.

Davis's chest heaved as he stepped past the two of them into the house.

But one of them kicked him out and knocked him to the railing, "Hey, don't look for death!" ”

"Ah!!h Davis fully understood what was going on inside, and rushed towards the two of them with a yell.

"Call you X!"

The butt of a gun smashed into his face, shattering two teeth in an instant, and then he was slapped to the ground, unable to move.

Tears rolled down Davis's face, and he was extremely resentful, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise.

In the Quarters, the guards are the supreme beings.

You can even kill them and treat them as ordinary events.

Five minutes later, the door opened, and out came a refreshed man who didn't give Davis a second look.

After brushing his hair, he whistled and left with his men.

Only then did Davis dare to look up into the room.

I saw Matsukiko spilling tears and slumped on the sofa.

Davis climbed into the house and hugged her tightly.

The eyes are full of anger!

But what can they do?

As fifth-level citizens, this is where they are miserable.

The next day.

The two still have to go out to work, and if they don't work, they will suffer the penalty of point deduction.

Davis numbly boarded the train, listened to the command's lecture, and sank into the thousand-kilometer mining area with his gear.

It's just that no matter what time it is, there is a layer of anger in his heart.

When resting, tears are mixed with compressed food and sent to the mouth, adding another point of bitterness.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was the miner who went down the mine with him.

He walked over to Davis and nodded.

"I heard, you used to be a maintenance officer for the Imperial fleet?"

Davis looked up when he heard this, and his fists couldn't help but clench.....
