Chapter 1066: Mine
Chapter 1066: Mine
The people in the apocalypse were arrogant, but they knew it was the survival of the fittest.
These 100 might be vicious killers outside who killed without blinking, but when they faced the guards here, apart from the two that tried to escape, the others didn’t do anything and just followed.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to resist, but because the Fallen Water Fortress battle squad was much stronger than them. The Fallen Water Fortress battle squad had 2-3 times the number of guards, and they were stronger. Even their equipment was better.
Those people who spent money to sneak in knew that if they resisted, they would die.
Moreover, so what if they fled? They would attack the gate and then flee?
That was impossible.
These people were pushed to a cliff on the west, and they could see many holes in the walls. These were probably the so-called mines.
But before they got close, the team suddenly stopped. The guards aimed their weapons at these people. Some even used their skills and prepared to attack.
“If you want to leave, take off your equipment. Treat it as your payment to live. Quick, take it off!”
These guards actually targeted their equipment.Although the hundred of them didn’t have a high level, there were a few green equipment and many white. Each person also had two or more grey equipment. If they took them all, it would be a sizeable fortune.
This caused some chaos. After all, these were all they had. They were fine with being tossed into the mines. Their evolved bodies meant that they could work for a long time and not die from exhaustion. During that period, they could find a chance to leave.
But things were different once they were made to hand over their equipment. They risked their lives, and apart from the evolution potions, these were left. If they handed them over, their strength would drop greatly!
“Ah!”
A few screams could be heard. The few more emotional people were suddenly killed, and it silenced everyone else.
“You can earn the things you lose, but if you lose your life, then it is all gone.” A captain looked coldly at them, “Fellow battle squad members, you should know the punishment for entering a camp. Our boss is showing mercy by not killing you, so have some shame.”
He pointed at two people, and his subordinates sliced their heads off.
This was the norm in the apocalypse. No one knew when their lives would end.
The few corpses were good at being a threat. Although these people were unwilling, they still removed their equipment and tossed it to the ground.
Ye Zhongming was no exception. These white equipment weren’t much to him. He placed his good things in his space. If these people wanted to search his body, he would then be forced to kill them and ignore Five Ring Money.
Fortunately, the guards didn’t believe that these people had space equipment. They just looked to see if they had any shining equipment or bags and then let them off.
These naked people were sent into the mines. After the people inside took control of them, they started scolding once the guards left. They were probably cursing the guards for taking all the good stuff and leaving them with a bunch of skinned pigs.
Right, these people called them that.
A guy who was topless with messy hair walked before them with a whip. Behind him were several hundred guards who looked warily at them.
Even without equipment and their danger level reducing, but he could still kill with his hands.
“Listen up, enter the holes, and collect these things. Every time you hear the bell, come here to get food and water. Of course, the amount you can get depends on how much you collect. You can decide not to work, but then, sorry, you will just die from hunger.”
That person said the rules, “Don’t think about running as you can’t get out. There are a thousand guards here. With so few of you, you are just asking for death. If you are lucky, maybe you can see the light of day.”
“Now, line up, and I will assign you rooms. Then get a set of food, water, and steel mace.”
“Remember, the mace isn’t to fight but to collect stuff. It also helps you to defend yourself. This represents your life, if you lose it… Don’t blame me for not reminding you; you basically cannot survive.”
“Okay, line up!“
Some people wanted to ask, but the guy whipped them. He was a five-star evolved, and four five-star evolved were behind him, along with many armed soldiers. The few people could only swallow it.
“You have no right to ask questions here!”
This person looked around and started to distribute things. The so-called one set was just half a fist-sized piece of meat jerky, and the water was half a bottle of yellow liquid.
The mace was quite good. It was 50 centimeters long and three fingers thick. A part of it was pointy but not sharp.
These hundred were split into four groups and sent into the four mines. Ye Zhongming was lined at the back and sent into the fourth hole.
When he saw the mines, he understood why they didn’t wear chains. The entrance was small, and one had to bend to enter. If you wanted to head out, as long as the cave was guarded, a few people would be able to block it.
Many people were in despair when they saw the small dark hole. Some even tried to fight back to see if they could live. But they definitely wouldn’t succeed.
A few dozen fresh corpses calmed everyone down. Although they didn’t dare, they still walked in.
Ye Zhongming followed them. The moment he entered, he saw many green or red eyes!
