Several temporary wooden sheds made of pine wood were crowded with people at this time. Men wearing the uniforms of Guixu Sect disciples were standing on high places, constantly shouting loudly to the crowded crowd below.
"Listen to me. This recruitment of laborers is an order from above. You have no room for resistance. It's best if you want to go. If you don't want to go, you have to go. If anyone continues to cry here, I won't be able to talk to the higher-ups.
Come on, the consequences will definitely be something you don’t want to see, do you hear me clearly?”
Looking at the man's wide eyes, it turns out that the "liveliness" is just an illusion. Most of the people here have sad faces, not even the elderly and women among them. They are already weak. How can they go to the mines to do heavy work and return home?
The Xu Cult sent them to the Strata Rock Abyss so tyrannically, which was undoubtedly equivalent to a death sentence.
But under the pressure of the Guixu Sect disciples' dazzling swords, these ordinary people had no room to resist. They could only sob softly and secretly wipe their tears.
This is the world of power. In the South China Sea, especially in the Guixu Holy Land, these people wearing "official uniforms" are gods. What they say and do may not be what the Guixu Sect originally meant, but then
As tasks and pressures are transmitted from level to level, violence and suppression have become the most effective methods.
The overflow of power and desire created in this process is even more terrifying. In some labor recruitment points, Guixu disciples have even enriched their own pockets and have to pay bribes if they want not to be recruited. This can be said to be completely exposed.
The ugliness and selfishness of human nature.
"Uuuuuuuuuuah..."
Seeing that his speech successfully shocked everyone, the man on the high platform was also satisfied, but this joy was broken by "piercing" cries. Angry, he looked along the sound, trying to see what it was.
Who could be so blind and disrespectful to him?
Among the crowd, I saw a woman sweating profusely, crying and talking in a low voice. The baby in her arms was the source of the crying. It was only a few months old baby, so how could one understand
When should he cry and when should he not cry? The hunger in his belly and the stuffy environment made him express his demands in the most primitive way, hoping to get his mother's attention.
Seeing three or four disciples of the Guixu Sect approaching step by step, and seeing the neighbors with fear on their faces moving out of the way, the new mother's emotions completely collapsed, and she knelt down on the ground crying, thinking about the dark sky and begging.
, begging someone to save the mother and son.
But there are so many miracles in the world, so many heroes come to the world. Under the cold command from the high platform, three or four big men swarmed up and pushed the woman and her child directly to the ground. Then there was a burst of
Punches and kicks.
The woman desperately protected her child. Although her consciousness was blurred by the severe pain, her mother's instinct still made her unwilling to let go.
Several accomplished monks faced defenseless women and children, and the inner satisfaction brought by the kind of "looking down" oppression made them not stop at all.
meaning.
When they finally got tired of the beating, they discovered that the woman was no longer breathing. The unlucky people spat on her dull eyes, and then turned away, leaving behind the dying baby in the swaddling clothes.
Let him fend for himself.
In the end, an old woman couldn't bear it anymore, and she rushed over and picked up the baby, risking her life. All this fell into the eyes of the man on the high platform. Having already expressed his anger and established his power, he no longer stopped him and took the picture.
He took a picture of the uniform that was as bright as blood and looked away, as if nothing had happened.
Half a day later, the disguised Li Mu and the others finally arrived at the labor recruitment point. When they heard that the three of them had voluntarily signed up to beg for food in the Layeryan Giant Abyss, the Guixu Sect disciple in charge of registration showed an inexplicable expression on his face.
Although his expression was fleeting, it still fell in Li Mu's eyes.
"It seems that these disciples at the bottom of the Guixu Sect also understand that the Layeryan Abyss is a place where there is no return. It's just that these people are usually blinded by the power given by the sect, and they become pawns in the face of huge interests. It's really
How sad."
Li Mu sighed in his heart. He had traveled to many places and found that no matter where he was, as long as there were people, he could not escape the erosion of desire. This was the case for the city lord of Lishui City, Sikong and Katori of Penglai, and the black men of the "Blood" organization.
The same goes for the robed man.
Perhaps because the indicators from above and below were too heavy, Li Mu and the others successfully infiltrated into the labor force without much questioning, or even the "hard life experience" fabricated by Shao Jie.
After receiving the bracelets that symbolized their status, Li Mu, Su Fenqiao and Azi were taken to the temporary "house" for rest. It was not so much a house as it was basically an outdoor fence.
All assigned workers will enter the fence, and then be screened by specialized Guixu disciples, and regrouped according to gender, physical condition, age and other factors to form a complete team that can start working immediately upon arrival at the mine.
Originally, Li Mu and Su Fenqiao were going to be separated, but I don't know what means the Demon Princess used.
After being confused, the three of them formed a team by some strange combination, which surprised both Li Mu and Azi.
After leaving the fence, Li Mu began to observe his team. There were a total of seventy or eighty people, and most of them were strong men. The youngest might be fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest was not.
Over fifty years old.
The others are a typical "auxiliary" team. Except for Su Fenqiao and Azi, they are basically all older women. It can be seen that these older women are responsible for the logistics work of the entire team in the mine.
The people responsible for guarding and escorting the team were three disciples of the Guixu Sect, all of whom were at the level of Dan Jie. The leader had broken through the boundaries of Dacheng, and the remaining two were just beginners.
"It has to be said that although the labor force was suddenly recruited, from 'organization' to 'transportation', the level of organization and standardization displayed by the Guixu Sect is not comparable to that of small forces. They seem to be familiar with this set of rules.
Not only is it highly efficient, but it can also maximize limited resources.”
Li Mu watched as he walked, keeping many details in his mind. He walked through two hills and finally arrived at the ferry port. Hundreds of labor teams had gathered here, and they were going to take the boat back along the crossing.
A canal on Xu Island leads directly to the Strata Abyss.
