The thirteen enemy corpses were quickly decomposed, but this time they failed to harvest the [Life Crystal] and [Adventurer's Soul], and even the amount of [Red Crystal] was greatly reduced.

"Because it has been too long to die, has the energy already dissipated?"

"Life" and "soul" belong exclusively to the living, and once a person dies, these two energies will dissipate at a very fast rate.

The previous attacker was killed by his own hands, and the moment he died, he was able to obtain [Life Crystals (Fragments)] and [Adventurer's Soul (Ordinary)].

But even so, the attacker's 'life' and 'soul' have been lost more than half.

Because these two energies dissipate too quickly.

Compared with.

The blood qi passes much more slowly, so after such a long time, the next part can still be retained.

Simply fill in the small pit with soil, and Mojun returned to the camp.

A quarter of an hour later.

The army officially set off.

Transporting grain and grass is a chore, especially for soldiers like Mo Jun, who are not even soldiers, because horses are scarce in the Qin State, and most of the grain and grass are pulled by manpower.

Because of his thin body, Mo Jun was assigned to a relatively easy job, which was to push a grain cart in the back.

However, even though his current body had been strengthened by the [Small Red Crystal], he was only halfway through the journey, and he already felt his muscles aching all over his body, and his stomach was hungry.

Although the blood qi in the small red crystal can strengthen the physique and enhance the qi, it cannot replace the role of food.

But even if he was hungry at this time, Mo Jun could only endure it.

After all, the current general practice is two meals, even if the first meal is eaten early today, the second meal will be at least until the end of the time, and now there is at least more than an hour before the end of the day!

After that, as expected, there were enemy attacks, but because they were already prepared, in the end, several sneak attacks by the enemy army were in vain.

A few days later.

Mo Jun and his entourage finally arrived in Shangdang, and then with the response of the front-line army, the grain and grass were successfully transported to the front-line battlefield.

······

Chili.

This was originally a city on the border of Zhao, but half a month ago, it was captured by the general of Qin, and now it has become the territory of Qin.

Mo Jun followed the army escorting grain and grass into the city gate, and the first thing he saw was the city wall, and the rows of disciplined soldiers wearing black armor and holding long ges on both sides of the city gate.

After entering the city, it was where the military camp was located, and just when Mo Jun and his party had just walked into the military camp, there was a sudden mournful wail in their ears.

"Spare your life!"

"General, spare your life!"

"I was wrong, General!"

The wailing alarm alarmed everyone, and Mo Jun subconsciously turned his head to look, just to see a few indifferent-looking soldiers, dragging at least a hundred men who had been stripped naked, towards the torture platform in the center of the barracks.

Mo Jun was puzzled, and suddenly heard the young man pushing a grain cart next to him whispered.

"Hey, you know what?"

"What?"

The young man said with a bit of pride: "I heard that the largest batch of grain and grass we escorted this time was destroyed by the enemy. The general was furious, and it was estimated that all these people would not escape death. ”

In this attack on Zhao State, the general Meng Wei led a total of 50,000 troops, and the grain and grass that supplied so many troops was naturally impossible to directly send a team of men and horses from Mojun's side to transport it.

The best choice is to divide the troops.

According to the young man's words, if Mo Jun guessed correctly, I am afraid that from the beginning, the target of the enemy army was the largest batch of grain and grass over there.

As for the enemy forces attacking their side, there is a high probability that they are just bait.

This also explains why the enemy troops who attacked them before had so many sneak attacks, but the intensity of the attacks was pitiful.

But then Mo Jun's gaze became weird, and he looked at the young man beside him and said, "How did you know this news?" ”

"Hey, this news has reached the party a few days ago. Why, haven't you heard of it at all? ”

“······”

Mo Jun was speechless.

He admired this kind of person since he went to school in his previous life, obviously the school has not released any news, but there are always people who can get the so-called gossip from unknown places.

But these so-called gossip are extremely accurate.

Conversations.

Not far away, the soldiers dragged a group of men with dead faces and wailing incessantly.

"Are these people also the ones who escorted that batch of grain and grass?"

"Ah, no! These people are another team, and I heard that a batch of grain and grass escorted by their team has not been kept properly, resulting in mold. Therefore, according to military law, everyone must be flogged, and the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. ”

Mojun: "······"

"What's your name?"

"Just call me Xiongda, what about you?"

“····· Mojun. ”

"Huh! What a name! ”

"I think so too."

Mo Jun replied honestly, and then said casually: "Your name is Xiong Da, won't there be a brother named Xiong Er?" ”

"How do you know? My brother's name is Xiong Er. But don't look at me like this, my brother is much stronger than me, and everyone in our village praises him as strong as a bear! However, he didn't come to participate in the conscription this time, and his family is about to open up wasteland, and with his strength, he will definitely be able to help my family open up a few more acres of land this time······"

As soon as he mentioned his younger brother, Xiong Da immediately seemed to have turned on the switch, and he talked endlessly, and even his eyes lit up a lot.

By the time the grain and grass were transported into the depot and the records were handed over one by one, it was already in decline.

The bronze swords equipped by Mo Jun and the others were also all handed in, and these soldiers were not qualified to be equipped with weapons, because they were suddenly attacked by the enemy, in order to increase their combat effectiveness, they would be temporarily equipped with blades.

The screams on the other side of the torture table rang for a while, and soon there was no movement.

Had dinner.

The sky is getting dark, which means that the day is over.

······

The next day.

As soon as a ray of morning light pierced the eastern horizon, the barracks were already filled with the sound of high-spirited training.

However, in the tent where Mo Jun and his party were, not even one got up.

Don't get me wrong.

It's not that Mo Jun and the others are lazy, but the rules in the barracks are like this.

Conscripts like Mo Jun and others are not qualified to train on the front-line battlefield, because the food on the front-line battlefield is precious, and they need to eat a lot to maintain their strength after training.

Therefore, in the front-line barracks, only the elite soldiers who are at the forefront of the battlefield are eligible to participate in training.

Even the logistical work including burning the fire and cooking rice, Mo Jun and the others are not qualified to do it, because these 'technical jobs' will add money.

That's right.

In today's Qin State, there is a salary for serving as a servant, and ordinary coolies like Mojun and others are paid six yuan a day, including food and housing.

If you bring your own dry food, your salary is eight cents a day.

And for 'technical work' such as lighting a fire and cooking rice, the daily wage will increase by one or two dollars.

As for the various tyrannies about the Qin State that Mojun saw in later generations, in fact, most of them were phenomena that would only appear during the Qin II period.

After all, now that the Qin State is in a period of rising national strength, if there is really so much tyranny, how can it rise.

And even if you don't process money, you can occasionally 'add food' to jobs such as burning fires and cooking rice, which is also a fat gap. It is impossible for such a job to fall on the heads of Mo Jun and them, the 'newcomers'.

As a newcomer.

Mo Jun and the others' current job is to continue to serve as coolies during the war, helping to carry food and equipment. Then before the start of the war, cheer on the front-line soldiers.

The rest of the time, you only need to move less and eat less, which is the greatest contribution to the army.

Lying down until the entire sun completely exposed the horizon, Mo Jun finally couldn't lie down.

It is estimated that in my previous life, I would never have imagined that I would not be able to sleep one day.

After waking up.

After a brief wash, Mo Jun began to wander around the barracks.

But when it comes to hanging out, in fact, there are only a handful of places that Mo Jun can go to now.

There was great discipline in the army.

First of all, as a logistics soldier, he can only operate in the barracks. Secondly, Mo Jun cannot approach all major armament areas and front-line training sites.

All the range of activities that can be carried together is actually only a small part of the logistics area.

Walked around twice.

Mo Jun didn't feel interesting, and just as he was about to return to the tent, suddenly, a pile of things not far away attracted his attention.
