Volume 1 Chapter 2 Dungeons
As soon as you enter the dungeon, you enter a prison that never sees the light of day, only numbered and nameless, and nothing but labor.
The new laborers were divided into sixteen rooms in one room, and someone in each room taught them the rules.
I went to work at six o'clock and didn't stop until night.
Ecological deterioration and depletion of resources.
Not only is the old city and the abandoned city outside in shambles, but the tech castle in the upper city is also eroded every year and needs to be constantly repaired and strengthened to maintain.
Many of the civilians of the Lower Quarter worked for the people of the Upper Quarter to survive.
However, since the population has plummeted, it is far from enough, and many people have made a bad idea of the homeless, which is why they have such laborers.
From teenage children to adults, there are hundreds of them in this one place, and there are too many others to count.
The part of the dungeon repair base is very narrow, which is why Yun Mengying and other children like them are short and nimble.
It is necessary to replace the wall tiles with new ones, to strengthen the joints of the base wall, and to move the sand of the wall......
The dungeon was so large that they hadn't seen it all, only a part of it had been repaired.
From morning to night, you will be busy without stopping, and you will have a period of rest when you eat at noon, and you can breathe when you sleep at night.
Many people can't stand this kind of life at first, and they are often beaten to the flesh, and they can only hold on, otherwise it will be death.
Yun Mengying has been frightened since the first day, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and is tired and dizzy.
Secretly shed tears every day, the people in the room were not allowed to cry, and when they heard the voice, they beat and scolded.
was sold by her parents, and it didn't take long for her to go from not believing it at the beginning to accepting it later.
They soon ushered in their first New Year's Day, and that night there were half fewer guards.
Everyone is celebrating, because another year has passed since this end times.
New Year's Day is Yun Mengying's birthday, and she was born in the first year of the end of the world.
In the past, Yun Lusheng would accompany her on her birthday, and it became a luxury to enter the underground cage to celebrate her birthday.
So far, she has not had any news from Yun Lusheng.
Isolated from the world when they enter the dungeon, they will never be contacted again, this is a fact that they have always been admonished.
The room was quiet, and Yun Mengying hid in the quilt again and cried secretly.
After midnight, someone pushed her, "Do you want to run away, I'll take you to see the route?" ”
Yun Mengying recognized who it was when she heard the voice, and she didn't move.
"The guards are not strict today, and there will be no danger if you don't run away for the time being." The female voice approached Yun Mengying's ear.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Ran Ran's face close at hand.
Ran Ran took the initiative to talk to her in the car, although they all became code names in this category, but Ran Ran insisted on exchanging names with Yun Mengying.
At this time, Ran Ran stared at Yun Mengying with burning eyes, tempting her: "I know you want to escape." ”
Yun Mengying sat up "rubbing", put on her shoes neatly, and tiptoed out with her.
Ran Ran took her to a gap in a certain mechanism, and a boy was waiting for them.
The three of them hid in the shadows and watched the crack in the door outside the track, the wind blowing in, and the crackling sound of fireworks.
"I heard that the direction is Shangcheng District, and you can enter it after three gates." The boy said, his eyes bright and firm in the dim light: "One day I will definitely pass through that door and escape from here." ”
"Are you coming with us?" Ran Ran asked Yun Mengying, very lightly, for fear of scaring her.
Yun Mengying hesitated for a long time, she wanted to run, but she didn't know the result of entering Shangcheng City.
She has always been timid, and she doesn't know that it may not be a good outcome to be unfree.
Ran Ran saw that she was timid and retreated, and she didn't force it, and looked at the door for a long time: "You are hiding in the quilt and crying every day, you are scared and trembling when you see a dead person, and you call your brother in nightmares, you want to escape but you don't dare, you are afraid of death." ”
Hit the nail on the head.
Ran Ran has said a lot to Yun Mengying in the past few months, Yun Mengying has not talked much, but she has not been less inquired about things, and it has become a trash can for her to confide in.
Yun Mengying looked at Ran Ran's face, felt uneasy in her heart, shook her arm, and shook her head all the time.
"Do you want to stay here and die? Or do you want to be a slave for the rest of your life, how old are you, do you know what will happen to you in two years? The more Ran Ran spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice became louder.
The boy next to her quickly covered her mouth and looked around several times in a panic before warning her: "Do you want to be discovered?" ”
Ran Ran broke free of the boy, looked at Yun Mengying, her eyes were red: "In a few years, when you grow up, you can only become their plaything, otherwise you think those girls are ......"
"Ran Ran......" The boy reminded her in a low voice, and Yun Mengying trembled again in fright.
At that moment, she could hear a hint of horror in the boy's voice.
Yun Mengying listened to Ran Ran's words, and her head slammed, and she was so frightened that she forgot to react.
Ranran's cry was muffled and shrill and thin, and the scalps of those who listened to it in the dark were numb.
Yun Mengying's goosebumps rose again, and she couldn't bear to pat her to comfort her, but her hands were shaking involuntarily.
"The sound outside has stopped, go back quickly." The boy urged and took the lead in returning the way he came.
Ran Ran didn't mention it again after she went back, as if that outing was just a dream.
But Yun Mengying knew that it wasn't, she saw that Ran Ran often went to talk to that boy.
Soon, she understood Ran Ran's concern.
During that time, Yun Mengying often saw a few mature girls being called away alone, and then they didn't return overnight.
Some ran away and were killed, some broke down and cried, and some committed suicide......
This kind of thing happens in dungeons, human lives are like ants, and their value is not only work, but it can be imagined.
Yun Mengying had nightmares for many days, and Ran Ran rarely soothed her for two days with kindness.
also revealed a little bit of news to her: "Every once in a while, the underground city management will go in and out of the place where the food is eaten, and the news can be delivered, but the investigation is very strict, and you can't bring people, but what if." ”
The news can only come in from the outside, and they have nothing in the dungeon, so what can they exchange for?
Listening to Ran Ran's words, Yun Mengying immediately had a thought of all evil, and looked at her in surprise.
During this time, she has raised a lot of white, and she is a few years older than herself, is she planning to trade her body?
Ran Ran looked at her face and looked at her and directly broke it: "The people in the dungeon have any other way than this body?" ”
"Wait, wait......" Yun Mengying hung her head and persuaded anxiously.
"How long can we wait?" Ran Ran asked her with a word.
Ran Ran looked at Yun Mengying's appearance that she hadn't grown up yet, and she was dressed up with a gray face, she knew that she was timid and couldn't let go, but she didn't say anything sarcastic.
Yun Mengying's little courage shrank back again.
She was really scared, afraid that what Ran Ran said would happen to her.
She was afraid that her brother was not looking for her, and that there was no way to escape from here.
Every time she saw the bones of people who had escaped and died being dragged back and thrown against the wall, she flinched a little.
The world is like this, with the threat of death to scare humanity into a shell and put on the shackles called rules.
Sector 9 experienced an earthquake, and although it wasn't serious, there were cracks in the base, and they worked around the clock to repair them for months.
In those months, Yun Mengying exchanged the accumulated rations with others for many messages, but none of them told her that someone had walked out alive.
Maybe there is, but the people in the dungeon don't know.
One day she heard the guards say that there were homeless people rioting street cars, others looting supplies, and someone inquiring about news in the 9th arrondissement.
But for many days she did not hear a word.
The second New Year's Day, so.
On the third New Year's Day, it was still the same.
After this New Year's Day, Yun Mengying is fifteen years old.
Every New Year's Day, Ran Ran would call her to see the escape route, and this year was no exception.
This time there was one more person, Yun Mengying hadn't seen him, and Ran Ran walked in front without speaking.
Halfway through, the boy suddenly pressed her against the wall and began to pick off her clothes, Yun Mengying quickly struggled, and was about to scream while struggling.
The man covered her mouth violently, and a hand twisted her arm behind her.
Yun Mengying was so frightened that she immediately made a voice calling for help.
"What are you doing?" The boy in front of him not only didn't help, but also told him to be quiet.
"Hmm...... Well...... Ran Ran ...... "Yun Mengying kept making a sound, begging Ran Ran for help.
There was no sound in the darkness, and she fled.
Yun Mengying used the strength to eat milk and bit the boy's hand.
The boy let go of her in pain, and Yun Mengying kicked him under the crotch, turned his head and ran.
Before she could take two steps, the boy grabbed her hair, and Yun Mengying was grabbed by him, and her center of gravity was unstable and fell backwards.
The boy immediately pressed her leg and tried to imprison her hand.
Yun Mengying struggled to kick his legs, picked up an unstable mining brick and smashed it at his head, smashing it many times in horror, and the clothes on his hands were sticky.
The boy snorted in pain at first and let go, Yun Mengying broke free from him, got up and ran.
The light in the track was very dim, and someone heard the movement and looked over here.
Yun Mengying ran back in a panic and collapsed on the ground in fright when she touched someone, trembling all over.
"What's going on?" Someone asked sharply.
"I don't know, I don't know......" Yun Mengying shook her head tremblingly, looked down and saw that her hands were full of blood, she couldn't control it and was trembling again, her voice was shaking, her eyes were dark, and she fell down the ground.
……
"Are you awake?" Yun Mengying didn't know how long it had been since she passed out, and she heard someone talking in her ear.
She barely opened her eyes, and the room was dimly lit, and she couldn't see the faces of the people who spoke.
"You are?"
The girl didn't answer, but said: "A person named Yun Lusheng brought you a message, on June 6th, there was an operation in the ninth district, find a way to rush out." ”
Yun Mengying quickly sat up and approached her: "You have news of my brother, when did it happen, and how did it get in?" ”
The man didn't reply, and got up quickly.
"Remember, June 6th, see you or leave." Then the man went out and was nowhere to be seen.
