The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The village is extremely dilapidated, the original fields have long been deserted and overgrown with weeds.

And under the continuous digging and mining, a lot of rocky soil has also been piled up here, and it is completely invisible to what it used to be.

A mine was built at the foot of a mountain not far from the village, and poor people who were deceived or **** gathered there, working numbly...

There are people watching around, and you will be beaten immediately if you move slower.

There are even some young children in this group of poor people.

The rocks are still digging, non-stop.

This section of the Ravens Mountains behind the village is relatively flat, and a not too big mine has been dug within the scope of the mining area, and scaffolding has been built around it, which is conducive to consolidation.

But in addition, this place needs to continue to dig in the vicinity.

Because the first mine was only exploratory shafts.

Someone went deep into it, and then one after another iron barrels were transported up-the iron barrels were filled with brown-black viscous liquid.

As the iron bucket filled with liquid was pulled up, a pungent smell gradually dissipated, and it gradually became rich in the air...

People who stayed and worked around the mine inevitably got this brown-black liquid on their bodies and faces.

It is dark and difficult to scrub.

Xia Zoe looked at the brown-black liquid, with a strange brilliance in her eyes—that's, oil!

He couldn't help but think of the information collected in the past few days.

After Walker had dealt with the glamorous woman in the tavern, one night passed, and he got a lot of news from the other's mouth.

Things are probably already clear.

However, the more I looked down, the more I was frightened.

In this city named Quincesi, it is not only the mayor Vernon who colluded with the robbers.

It should be said that Vernon has already enlisted nearly half of the officials in the city, including the non-commissioned officers who originally controlled the city and were responsible for patrolling and guarding the city gates.

Almost everyone has mixed in it.

No one is clean.

Greed and corruption have been deeply implanted in their souls, and they are gradually using their own methods to drag the city into a more difficult situation.

If it weren't for Barna, he insisted on searching for the robber's trail.

If it weren’t for Xia Zoe’s keen sense that things seemed wrong...

Deceive together up and down.

Even if new officers and soldiers are stationed again later, they will only be kept in the dark. I don't know the details.

...

Xia Zuoyi pursed her lips, feeling cold.

He, Taylor and the rest of the people who had been **** were all taken to a house for the time being. There were already people in it, old people, young people, and children.

They are dressed in shabby clothes and weak in body.

Some people don’t even have shoes on their feet, and their bare skin is covered with wounds, bruises, and black marks...

Xia Zuoy saw a child who was only about six or seven years old lying flushed and breathing fast in the arms of a teenager-with a high fever.

And there was a middle-aged man next to him who was soaking in a dirty linen cloth that couldn’t be seen before putting it on the child’s forehead...

But this does not seem to be of much use.

Slightly sweep.

He could see that the barrel next to the middle-aged man should be the only source of water in this house.

Because there is only a thin layer of water on the bottom of the wooden barrel-it is the potentially life-saving water left by other people in this room for the sick child.

But it was just such a little water, and it was kicked to the ground by the man who brought in Xia Zoe, Taylor and others.

There was not much water spilled out instantly, soaking the ground.

The man cursed a few words.

Soon after, he walked out of the house, and the atmosphere inside the house became loose to the naked eye.

When the man was there just now, everyone tried their best to shrink their bodies, bow their heads, and dare not speak or move.

The teenagers and middle-aged people who bear the brunt of being scolded even shudder and remain silent, but the teenagers are holding their children's hands more and more tightly...

They obviously did not dare to show a strange expression.

Because he suffered a lot and was beaten, he could only endure it silently now, until the man left and began to talk quietly.

"Someone has been **** in this place again..."

"Could it be that another group of people died... It will soon be our turn... we can't get out."

"No one will find us here."

...

Everyone's faces were filled with despair, and the atmosphere in the room couldn't help making people feel tensed.

Xia Zoe was taken by Tyler to find a place to sit down, and next to him was the boy holding the sick child.

He heard the middle-aged man who had helped take care of the children whispered, "Bunier, the situation with Little Bowen is really..."

"If there is no medicine to feed him, it will take a few days, no... Maybe Xiao Bowen's condition will get worse tomorrow, by then..."

The guards in this village will not keep useless labor.

And what will happen to the useless labor... It goes without saying.

The young Bunir's face sank, his fists were clenched, and he said with difficulty: "I understand."

"Uncle Todd... is it really impossible for us to escape?"

The young man's voice repressed and said: "Vernon...and the robbers here, they have to die, they will be taken away by the devil one day!"

"This is the place of the devil, and there are beads of devil's sweat gushing from the ground..."

The robbers here...

Xia Zoe glanced at Taylor without a trace.

The reason they came in was to determine if there were any robbers left in the village.

—And the reason why Barna was looking for no trace of robbers in the Liffins Mountains was because these robbers did not enter the Liffins Mountains at all.

They colluded with the mayor and pretended to be ordinary people.

Then he returned to Quincey, settled down in this village, and became the guardian of this group of poor people.

A group of robbers left Quincesi and crossed the border to the Saint Airo Empire.

—They secretly spread the news that minerals were discovered by digging mountains here.

The spies previously disguised as soldiers, the group he met was the bandit who pulled the scheduled cargo to confirm.

Later, many people discovered business opportunities from it, and caravans began to come...

Oil is what they call "devil's sweat" or "burning water".

The meaning of the two names is very obvious.

Petroleum is a liquid that can be burned.

Therefore, it is stipulated that open flames are not allowed in this village, and even flintstones are not allowed to be brought in.

Come.

And these poor people who are imprisoned and driven to labor eat raw, cold and hard food every day. There is no light and no warmth at night.

The only place where there is fire and light in this village is only in the house where the leaders of the guards live. It is the only bright place at night.

However, there is strict control and guarding, and irrelevant personnel are prohibited from passing through-even those who guard the village, they must search and ask questions when entering and leaving the village.

Not to mention these laborers who were put on bracelets and handcuffs.

The young Bunir thinks that what is mined here is like the "devil's sweat" spread outside.

He has seen someone experimenting in the distance, and it only takes a little spark to ignite the brown-black viscous liquid that was brought up.

He also heard the guards in the mine saying that the first mine was not well located.

-These liquids did not gush out much. Someone needs to take a rope ladder to go deep into the mine before they can be mined.

But if you can find the right digging location, these viscous brown-black liquids may gush out.

Buniel thought at the time, if he could have something to ignite the flame in his hand... even if he just used it, he wouldn't have it...

He was going to throw that little flame into the mine, burning everything out.

...

Buniel was thinking bitterly, and was caught off guard by someone poking him in the arm, and there was a small eh.

Buniel turned his head and saw a dark-skinned teenager smile at him.

The boy asked in a low voice, "Are all the guards in this village robbers?"

Buniel saw that his face didn't even have a trace of fear, and he thought that the other party hadn't experienced the hopeless life here.

-Come in but never get out.

Every day there is endless work, not enough food, bad sleep...

After a while, it will be their turn to continue digging.

Seeing that the young man was still waiting for his answer, Buniel said, "Yes, the guards in the village are all robbers!"

He knew it because the robbers killed his parents and family when they looted the city.

And he and his younger brother Bowen were hidden by their parents.

Buniel saw the face of one of the robbers.

Now that robber is in the village, he watches every day and really wants to kill him...

"Then can you tell me, besides those detained here, where else are people detained?"

The village is not small.

In order to prevent accidents, the poor people who were brought to the village for labor and labor were all managed separately, and staggered the time to go to the back mountains to dig, or assign different labor...

Xia Zoe has a question he wants to understand.

After a while, the young man named Bunir was caught out of everything he knew.

While talking, Buniel couldn't help showing a look of despair on his face.

Because he knew that no matter how much he wanted to take revenge with his own hands, he would not be able to achieve it-he would stay in this village until he died.

Thinking of this, Bunir sadly touched his brother, Bowen who was lying in his arms...

Xia Zoe stretched out his hand to cover the child's forehead, and said softly, "Is his name Xiao Bowen?"

Bunir nodded silently.

"Don't worry, Bowen will get better tomorrow." Xia Zuoyi said.

Buniel thought that the boy in front of him was comforting him, and he did not laugh for a long time, so he hummed and said thank you in a low voice.

After a while, Xia Zoe moved slowly to the window under Taylor's care.

He called 098 in his heart.

After that, he lowered his head and pulled out a small round mirror 098 sent to him from the sole of the shoe—only half the size of the palm of his hand.

Taylor was surprised and asked quietly: "Lie, cough... When did you hide it?"

They were searched when they came in, and even their shoes were taken off.

Xia Zuoyi glanced at him lightly: "You just need..."

Tyler listened carefully.

"...Which, while everyone is not paying attention, it hides."

Taylor: "..."

Yes, yes?

Xia Zuoy placed the small round mirror in his palm, and then pointed it at the moonlight and the sky constantly swayed-the faint light reflected by the small round mirror was not obvious, and it would be ignored if he didn't pay attention.

But not long after, a fast white shadow flashed across the sky, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xia Zuoyi immediately put away the small round mirror.
