Chapter 172: First Exploration of the Beast Field

The extreme dilemma kept Shu Yungui awake all night, and the bell of the bell tower came with the morning light, and Mrs. Jenkin came upstairs with breakfast, and saw Shu Yungui sitting on the straw mat, and asked in surprise, "Oh, is the floor too hard to sleep comfortably?"

Shu Yungui looked up at Mrs. Jenkin with two big dark circles under his eyes and smiled, "No, I just woke up."

He took the plate and asked, "Is there any work I can do to help you today?"

Mrs. Jenkin was too old to remember, so she looked at the memo written on the wall and said, "Today, my old man is going to the south of the city to build a wall for the Colosseum, and I heard that a new room has been built there, and I can't walk that far because I have bad legs and feet, can you please help me deliver food at noon?"

"Willing to serve."

Shu Yungui ate the baked beans on the dinner plate, the amount was very small, basically boiled with water, only the taste of the beans themselves, not even a little salty, it can be seen that it is difficult to buy salt in the outer city, and it is even more difficult to guarantee basic daily necessities.

Perhaps for the residents of the outer city, these incoming infiltrators are really a huge threat to their lives.

If Shu Yun was to return to take charge of the operation of this town, he didn't know whether to reject those people or accept them.

It seems that the outcome of this conflict cannot be judged simply by which side is right or wrong.

"Here, this scarf for you, cover your face when you go out, so no one notices you."

Mrs. Jenkin draped a cashmere scarf around Shu Yungui's neck, it was a men's thin velvet scarf, with a calm style and simple patterns, which looked like it should be worth a lot of money to the Jenkins.

"This is what my father left behind, he was a valiant soldier, this is a gift from my mother when he was first promoted to officer, it has been many years, and my old man usually does not need this scarf for dirty work."

Mrs. Jenkin personally put on the scarf for Shu Yungui, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's just right to wear it on you, it's exactly the same as the photo of my father when he was young."

She happily clasped her fingers in her heart and sighed, "It's a pity that the old photo albums at home have all fallen into Sleiberg's house, otherwise I can show you."

Shu Yungui touched the soft scarf around his neck and said, "Such a valuable thing should be left for thought, I'll just block it with my clothes."

He made a gesture to remove the scarf, but Mrs. Jenkin stopped him: "It is in our hands, it will always be a scarf in the closet, but it is on you, young man, and you have infinite possibilities."

After saying this, Mrs. Jenkin took the dinner plate and went downstairs tremblingly, while Shu Yungui looked at her back as she left, and suddenly felt that the scarf around his neck was a little hot, which made him sit still.

Before noon, he went out with the lunch prepared by Mrs. Jenkin, and the weather in the outer city was not good, the sun was very strong, and most of the passers-by in the town wore turbans, so naturally no one noticed him.

According to the route recorded last night, Shu Yungui took a detour to the stone house where the infiltrators were imprisoned, the wooden plank on the window was still firmly stuck, and this room was just this one vent, Shu Yungui quickly removed the wooden plank, and the disgusting smell that had been stuffing all night inside immediately floated out.

The people inside were all lying motionless in the cage, Shu Yungui leaned against the fence and shouted urgently, "Kony? Kony!"

Kony, who fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen, was woken up by his shouts and said, "Let me sleep a little longer...... Let's put breakfast first......

He was afraid that he had been fainting for too long, forgetting that he was locked in a stone house in the outer city, and thought that he was lying in bed in the luxurious bed in the inner city.

"Kony! Wake up!"

Shu Yungui called him, "If you don't wake up again, you will be sent to feed the orcs soon!"

Kony, who was eating a big meal in his sweet sleep, woke up in an instant, he sat up as soon as he sat up, and because the cage was not high enough, he hit his head, covered his head and grinned, and it took a long time to see that it was Shu Yungui who was shouting to himself.

"Didn't you ignore us? Why are you running again?"

Kony pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "You go, so as not to be caught and say that we have dragged you down."

This kid is really sharp-toothed, Shu Yungui thought to himself that he should put him and Cheng Sikong together to see who of the two of them could choke to death.

But after thinking about it, Cheng Sikong wouldn't waste his tongue with this hairy boy, he would definitely kick Kony out with one kick.

"I'm kind enough to come and see you, if the dog bites Lu Dongbin, then I'll go."

"Who is Lu Dongbin?" Kony rubbed his eyes and said, "Is it an infiltrator too?" He was bitten by a dog?"

Shu Yungui was very speechless, and after ventilation at this time, the other people in the stone house also woke up and looked at Shu Yungui one after another.

"So what the hell are you here for?"

Kony pointed to the door and said, "Why don't you open the door and we'll run by ourselves to make sure we don't bother you."

The man in the cage also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, we will find our own way, so as not to affect you."

"Where can you run?"

Shu Yun returned: "The patrol team has fast horses and hounds, as well as muskets, and the people in the inner city know each other, and strange faces will be reported when they appear, I think it is safest for you to stay here before being sent to the Colosseum."

"Then we can't stay here all the time, the adults are okay, the child is already hungry, I heard that tomorrow the patrol will hand us over to the Colosseum, if we don't run today, tomorrow will be too late!"

Shu Yungui comforted them and said, "I plan to go to the Colosseum in a while to have a look, maybe the supervision over there is not as strict as here, and the Colosseum is crowded and chaotic, so the chance of escaping while the chaos may be greater."

The people in the stone house hesitated: "But these children ......."

"I'll figure it out, and when I come back from the Colosseum, I'll bring you something to eat, but you have to think about how and where you're going to escape, and you can't just get caught by the patrol as soon as you get out."

After telling everyone, Shu Yungui wrapped his scarf and prepared to leave, but Kony stopped him.

"Hey!"

It wasn't until that embarrassing "hey" that Shu Yungui remembered that he hadn't told Kony his name at all.

"You stay safe."

Kony deliberately pretended to be very dissatisfied and said, "Don't get caught."

Shu Yungui smiled, waved at him, and went to the Colosseum.

The Colosseum is not far from the bell tower, it is also a circular building, it is estimated that it wants to imitate the ancient Roman Colosseum on the earth, but due to the lack of building materials, it caused a four-like, and the later period simply began to build indiscriminately, not so much a Colosseum, but like a circus.

Can this kind of place really hold up orcs?

In other words, if the orcs can be locked up in such a place, wouldn't it be easy for humans to subdue them, how could they be forced to abandon the city and build a city wall to protect themselves?

Shu Yungui found Zhan Jin, a mason, on the construction site next to him, and Zhan Jin was surprised by his arrival, so he quickly pulled him into a corner, squatting outside with a lunch box, blocking the sight of others for Shu Yungui.

"Why did you get here? It's dangerous here."

Jenkin pointed to the small house next to it, which was almost completed, and said, "See, it's the house that Harvey, the owner of the Colosseum, built to keep the infiltrators in place."

Shu Yungui also guessed this effect, and asked, "Where are those orcs kept?"

Jenkin swallowed the beans in one gulp and pointed to the ground with the tip of his fork, "It's all down."

Was it locked up underground?

It seems that the Harvey boss must have some other means, otherwise it would not be easy to run an entertainment venue like the Colosseum in the outer city where living supplies are so scarce.

How exactly did he attract a group of people who couldn't even get enough to eat to willingly pay for tickets to see the show out of their pockets?

Lunch was still baked beans, and the other workers were about the same, only staple food, nothing else.

"Then I'll go back first."

After saying goodbye to the mason Jen Jin, Shu Yungui took advantage of the caretaker of the Colosseum to knock out one of them, dragged him to a hidden place to change his clothes, and quietly blended into the Colosseum.

It was noon, everyone was eating, and because there was no performance today, the guards were very loose, and Shu Yungui entered the performance hall of the Colosseum very smoothly.

It is said to be a hall, that is, a large pit dug into the ground about two meters deep, and the soil on both sides is tamped to make a circle of high and low steps, this is the seat, and the cloth shed on the top, the sunlight penetrates the roof of the shed, and the light is just right inside.

In the middle of the round pit is something similar to a boxing octagonal cage, only a lot larger, and it is capped, and most importantly, this cage is actually made of iron.

Although iron is not particularly difficult to refine, iron ore resources are rare for the outer city, and it is good to be able to make some simple knives and farming tools, and it is not easy to create such a large iron cage with a small alchemy furnace in a blacksmith shop.

And he concluded that there must be more iron cages used to hold orcs underground.

For no reason, Shu Yungui looked at this iron cage, and thought of the vicious mutants on the Hope Star Field, before the invention of the life impeded cabin and the special glass observation room, were they also imprisoned in the iron cage and tortured like these orcs?

He subconsciously walked towards the iron cage, the further he went, the stronger the smell of blood, and when he walked to the front, he found that there were still uncleaned blood stains on the yellow mud ground, and the iron cage was pasted with a thick layer of blood stains, and there was a very unpleasant smell in the Colosseum.

It's uncertain if previous orc shows have used infiltrators to increase the audience's interest, but this time, since it was explicitly stated that infiltrators were to be fed to the mutants, this behavior would either take place in the beast cage or in the place where the orcs were held underground.

Shu Yungui stepped forward, raised his legs and shook the beast cage with the soles of his shoes, and found that these iron fences were very strong, not only solid, but also a whole, the lower part was buried in the loess very deeply, he kicked two feet hard, but the beast cage was motionless.

That's a problem.

Shu Yungui thought that if those infiltrators were sent directly to this cage, there would really be no way to survive.

He was trying to figure out what to do, but the curtain of the Colosseum behind him was opened, and a muscular man asked him in a loud voice, "What are you doing here?!"

Shu Yungui resisted the knee-jerk action of turning back, and immediately squatted down with both hands on the iron cage, and said calmly, "Mop the floor."

The other party didn't speak, and soon the footsteps slowly stepped towards Shu Yungui.
