Han Xu watched with his own eyes as the camp inflated like a balloon.
Just a few months, three months? Four months, even or only two months?
It has grown from a wooden camp with only a few dozen people to a town with tens of thousands of people.
Houses were built one after another, roads were extended, and farmland was reclaimed.
People who don’t know where they come from flock here one after another, and then quietly disappear without knowing when.
Maybe one day I will disappear from here like those who disappear.
"Pa!"
Just as the ragged young man was thinking about it, a whip struck him on the back.
"Work quickly. If this road is not completed in two days, you will have no choice but to become stars!"
"Haha, the star is a comet, right?"
"A bunch of trash, working so slowly!"
Several tall and strong overseers were beating a group of coolies who were hard at work digging gullies and smoothing the road.
Han Xu dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. He just stepped up his work and dumped the cart of gravel he was pushing on the road, then picked up the shovel and spread it out.
"You, how could you do this? There are so many bulldozers that are not in use, so why do you need us to do it with our hands?"
A younger man, who looked like he was just 18 years old, had a red face, but he was angry.
There are also several whip marks on his back.
"Oh, you dare to talk back? This is what the adults ordered, you have the guts to ask!" A short and fat supervisor suddenly became furious.
He whipped the young man several times in succession, causing him to roll all over the floor.
There are thick blood marks all over the legs, arms, and back.
"Okay, okay, don't beat people to death. There are quotas for deaths. If too many people die, we have to work for them..."
"They can't be beaten to death. These losers who grew up in honey pots have good physiques but no eyesight. They thought they were in the main world, where there are stars!" the short and fat supervisor said nonchalantly.
However, he finally stopped the whip in his hand, kicked the young man again, and then left with a curse.
Stars?
Is this the official name of this place?
Han Xu remembered this place firmly. He knew that his family would definitely look for him and would make great efforts to find him.
As long as he finds a way to reveal the name of this place, he will hopefully leave here.
When he and his friends first got lost here, no one knew the exact name of this place.
He could have been a member of the management, but it was because he wanted to escape and tried to escape that he became a coolie.
This is not heaven, it is hell.
Every day, people are selected to make movies, TV series, animations, novels... It's like a film and television base.
However, few of those people can come back.
Here, being selected as a star means that death is not far away. The more famous you are, the more movies you will receive. You will always meet a director who likes to torture the male and female protagonists...
He used to love adventure and always felt that what he wanted was hidden somewhere in the wild.
He couldn't pull back eight cows, but now he finally regretted it - if he didn't inherit the good fortune of hundreds of millions, why would he go out to commit suicide?
Becoming a mutant may only be a dream, just like the ordinary employees in the company who want to become the son-in-law of their Han family, so that they can rise to the top, own shares in the company, and reach the pinnacle of life...
Everyone has something they cannot achieve and something they desperately want.
The First Emperor was rich and powerful, and he also wanted to live forever.
I tried several times to pray to Mount Tai, but in the end I still got nothing.
In his time, although the total number of alien species was only tens of thousands different from what it is now, human productivity was too low and the total number collected was too small. People who had become aliens definitely did not want a powerful emperor to become one of them.
a member of.
Because that means imprisonment.
"Even the former emperor may not be able to become a mutant. It's time to wake up from the dream." Han Xu muttered in a low voice.
At this time, an old man in rags and rags pushing a wheelbarrow next to him just smiled when he heard this.
"Old sir, why are you laughing?" Han Xu asked.
"I'm laughing at you for your lack of experience. I was once an emperor, then gave up the throne and became a mutant, and I've been living till now." The old man shook his head.
"Just you?" Han Xu couldn't help but laugh.
He looked at the old man carefully and saw that he was rather thin, about 1.6 meters tall, with a square face and a large black mole at the corner of his mouth, which was the most obvious.
"You don't believe it?" The old man with black mole said with a smile.
"If you were a mutant, could you still be imprisoned here and do hard labor with me?"
"I have received a mission, and this is not my true identity." The old man with black mole glanced around and whispered.
"It sounds like... I know what you do, but I won't tell you." Han Xu sneered.
When he thought about it, this old man with a black mole must be a bastard who penetrated into the coolies and found out what they were doing.
The older you get, the more you fear death. This is what the old liar said.
The other party will deliberately lure others to escape, and then catch the most unstable people in order to scare the monkeys.
Of course, none of the coolies are stable, except those guys from Nanzhu.
Is that considered a human being?
They're just livestock.
The two soon stopped talking because the supervisor's whip came again.
I worked all morning, but luckily the food was pretty good, with plenty of white rice, and even a big bowl of pork rib soup, and half a bowl of kimchi to take away.
Of course, all the ribs were picked away by the supervisors.
This is probably the reason why those Nanzhu people are satisfied.
But to Han Xu, this is no different from pig food, and far worse than what his dog eats.
Although he was tired all morning, he still ate three large bowls of rice, took out a large bowl of soup, and ate all the kimchi that he usually looked down upon.
Take a two-hour break at noon.
Judging from the meal and rest time, we know that the supervisors will not use the coolies to death.
Han Xu found a tree on the sunny side and sat down to bask in the sun. The temperature was still a bit low now.
The rags on my body can't block the cold.
At this time, the old man with the black mole came close to him and poked him.
"What are you doing? Don't lie to me. I annoy you the most with unskilled liars." Han Xu leaned to the side.
"Boy, right now, four hundred years ago, you would have been disrespectful and would have been beheaded..." The old man with the black mole said with a smile.
"Oh, four hundred years ago it was the Daxing Empire. Which emperor are you? What is your reign and when did you retire?" Han Xu said with disdain.
He is very interested in history. After all, many stories about aliens and the process of their emergence can be found in history.
So he was confident that if this old man was just a young man who was temporarily recruited to deceive coolies, he would definitely not know this knowledge.
Let alone what happened four hundred years ago, how many ordinary people would remember the specific time of ten years ago?
"The three emperors of Daxing, the Holy Ancestor Yuanfeng Emperor, ascended the throne at the fifteenth year, stayed in power for forty-five years, and abdicated." The old man with the black mole said calmly.
His eyes looked into the distance, seeming to be lost in distant memories.
Han Xu was slightly startled and looked at the old man carefully again.
He finally discovered that the other party's eyes and posture contained an aura and confidence that far surpassed that of his father, Chairman Han...
Uh, it can’t be true, right?
The time and year the other party mentioned are indeed accurate.
However, a clever liar can also do the same. After all, he is only a human being with naked eyes.
"Then do you know what seemingly inconspicuous, but very important achievements this Emperor Yuan Feng has?" Han Xu decided to continue testing.
He will not be deceived by the other party's empty words.
"His most important achievement was to create a yamen of the Dengxian Division and give away his world to others. He was scolded by future generations for his whole life. When the great prosperity flourished, he prospered with Yuanfeng, and when the great prosperity fell, he perished with Yuanfeng." The old man said calmly.
Earthly said.
"Hahaha, you are indeed a liar. Who doesn't know that Emperor Yuanfeng's most inconspicuous achievement, but also his most important achievement, is actually to ignore the opposition of his courtiers, change his land strategy, and spend a lot of effort to capture and immigrate to the Liujia Gap in the South China Sea.
From now on, we will master the key routes between the East and the West, promote exchanges between the East and the West, and let Dongzhou rise again." Han Xu sneered.
The old man with the black mole was speechless when he heard the words, and then looked at the young man.
He nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense. It was precisely because of that incident that he was recognized and believed that he could transcend his own class, not be bound by the ideas of the imperial family, and then be accepted into the world of aliens.
”
"Humph, that's a good point. I understand. You must be a star who plays the emperor. You probably did something wrong on the set, so you became a coolie again. But this may not be a good thing, after all, everyone knows,
Going to the set is just asking for death; working as a coolie is just waiting for death." Han Xu laughed.
He felt so stupid for actually saying so much to the other party.
It seems that this hard work is still not heavy enough.
