Chapter 5 Shelter

Before seeing Rawls again, Zhang Tie had a brief conversation with Heller.

Zhang Tie: Is it okay for me to do this?

Heller: You are the owner and ruler of the Black Iron Fortress, and any decision you make is your right.

Zhang Tie: How many people can the Castle of Black Iron accommodate now?

Heller: In terms of the current food storage and production capacity of the Black Iron Fort, the maximum number of people that the Black Iron Fort can accommodate is 26,000 people. If the number of people in the Black Iron Fort is now 26,000, then, half a year later, those people If production and land reclamation are added, the upper limit of the number of people that can be accommodated in the Black Iron Fortress can be tripled. By analogy, if the land area of ​​the Black Iron Fortress remains unchanged, the upper limit of the number of people it can accommodate and support in the future is 1.2 million people .

Zhang Tie: If... I mean, if one day there are so many people in the Black Iron Fort, can you handle it?

Heller: In this space of the Black Iron Fort, all matter and life will be bound by the laws of the Black Iron Fort. Their life and death depend entirely on your will. Don’t say 1.2 million people, it’s 1.2 million 100 million people, in my eyes, it is about the same as 12 billion yeasts to manage, one bottle can hold it, and there will be no problem.

Zhang Tie: Will Xiaoshu be affected?

Heller: I can set a rule in the Black Iron Fortress, within a radius of 100 meters of the small tree, unless you have your permission, those people are impossible to set foot in. Some terrains in the castle can also be changed in conjunction with it. Fortunately, the basic energy reserve of the current Black Iron Castle can still complete such a transformation...

Zhang Tie: Do you think... Is it a bit selfish of me to do this? Once they come in, it is estimated that I will not be able to let them out for a long time...

Heller: No, Lord Lord, I think you are very noble in doing this. For Rawls and the others, the current Black Iron Castle is their paradise, and you are not imprisoning them here forever. If One day, when your strength reaches a certain level, please believe me, even if you let them out, even if others know that you have this ability, there will be no problem.

Zhang Tie: Is there really such a day?

Heller: This is a possibility, but what will happen in the future, whether this possibility can become a reality, only you, Lord Castle, can answer.

Zhang Tie: If there are so many people, how can I get them in?

Heller: The Fortress Master is now level nine. With the improvement of the Fortress Master's own abilities and the start of the holy war between the human race and the demon race, the space function of the Black Iron Castle will be further released to the Fortress Master. If people come in, Lord Castle Master can now authorize me to let the Black Iron Castle open up the ability to open a space refuge!

Zhang Tie: Space refuge?

Heller: Yes, after possessing this ability, if you want to bring some people or creatures in, the process will become relatively simple. As long as the castle master locks them with mental power and has contact with their bodies, no matter what Either directly or indirectly, they can be brought in instantly, just like moving things out of the Black Iron Fort...

Zhang Tie: Is it that simple?

Heller: Yeah, it's that simple.

Zhang Tie: I will leave the rest to you.

Heller: There is no problem. The Black Iron Fortress should now have some more aborigines, which will allow for better development of the Black Iron Fortress.

After the conversation with Heller was over, Zhang Tie waited patiently for Rawls' arrival, and at the same time quietly observed the reactions of those demonized puppets in the huge underground space and the situation around him.

In Zhang Tie's feeling, Rawls should not be a person who would break his promise, but even Zhang Tie had to be careful in this place, lest he be sold out and still count money for others.

This matter needs to take a great risk. Zhang Tie doesn't know if he is benevolent to do this. He only knows that doing so will make his heart calm. It is a common problem of people who get up—the inner sympathy will always overflow regardless of the occasion.

Fortunately, nothing happened during the few hours of waiting for Rawls, and when the time came, those enslaved human captives seemed to have ushered in the time to sleep and rest at night, and work in many places slowly stopped .

Perhaps even the demons know that humans cannot be used like machines. Without the necessary rest, no matter how strong a person is, they will not be able to last for three or two days. This will slow down the work efficiency of the captives. Therefore, When the time outside is at night, the prisoners will have a relatively relaxed rest time.

Zhang Tie saw that the vigilance of those demonized puppets and the lackeys of the Three-Eyed Society who were wielding whips was relatively relaxed at this time, especially those lackeys of the Three-Eyed Society. Many of them had already left the work of the human captives. location, and began to walk towards the camp of the demonized puppet in the distance.

Then, Zhang Tie saw that under the leadership of Rawls, a group of people lying on the ground quickly crawled towards him from the shadows in the distance.

Rolls was followed by more than 30 people.

Rawls looked at Zhang Tie in embarrassment, and those who followed him also looked at Zhang Tie with excited eyes. Among the more than 30 people, more than 20 were men, and a few were women. The oldest of those women was in their 40s or 50s, and the youngest was only in their teens. They were all covered in black and ragged. Only from some of their body characteristics, Zhang Tie could barely tell who was male and who was female.

This hell-like life forced each of these people into what they are today. Even Zhang Tie was amazed at the agility of the woman in her fifties when she crawled forward.

A girl with short hair who looked like thirteen or fourteen years old hid behind Rawls after she came here, turned her round eyes, and looked at Zhang Tie timidly.

"These people are all with us, and they don't want to eat human flesh, so they definitely won't be able to continue here. They will come with us when we come..." Rawls explained to Zhang Tie in a bit of a dilemma road.

Zhang Tie raised his hand to prevent Rawls from continuing, but looked at those people.

"Let me tell you first, although that place is hidden, once I bring you in, it will be difficult for you to get out..."

"Are we going to starve to death there?" one of the men, who also looked to be in his fifties or sixties, asked.

"Won't?"

"How big is that place?"

"It's huge, much bigger than here!"

"That's fine, as long as we don't let us eat human flesh, don't let us be eaten, we are better than here. Anyway, sooner or later, we will die here. If you fight it once, you may be able to find a way out. You can come from outside Here, there will always be a way better than us!"

Zhang Tiehuan watched for a week, "Do you all think so?"

Everyone nodded.

"Okay, come over here, hold hands, stand around me, stick tight, and before I take you out, I will hold a special blessing ceremony for you!" Zhang Tie said to those people with a very serious expression. Said.

Hearing what Zhang Tie said, those people did what Zhang Tie said without any doubt at all. They held each other's hands and gathered tightly around Zhang Tie, thinking that Zhang Tie was really going to hold a blessing ceremony for them.

Zhang Tie put his hand on Rawls' shoulder, "Are there still many captives who don't want to eat human flesh?"

"Many, in order to facilitate the management and divide the unity among the human captives, the demons will hang a few human teeth on the necks of those captives who succumb to cannibalism. The more teeth they hang, the more obedient they are and the more submissive they are. Under the rule of the demons, these people may change from captives to overseers and lackeys of the Three-Eyed Society, and they may do less work. Those demonized puppets have simple wisdom. I will not consume these people as food!"

Zhang Tie looked at the more than thirty people in front of him, and found that none of them had teeth hanging around their necks.

"That is to say, all people without teeth hanging around their necks are people who are unwilling to eat human flesh under the threat of demons?"

"Yes, many of us would rather die than do it." Rawls replied, "For those beasts who start eating human flesh, those teeth hanging around their necks are their amulets!"

"Are there always new captives being escorted from the secret passage?"

"Yes, sometimes there will be several cases in a day, and sometimes we will meet together in a few days. People die here every day, and almost every day there will be some new people coming in."

"That means that even those lackeys and demonized puppets of the Three Eyes Society can't remember everyone's faces, right?"

"That's right, and the work of the captives is fluid, no one can remember all the faces."

"Then, take off your clothes and lend them to me, and I'll ask someone to return you a new one in a while!" Zhang Tie looked at Rawls' figure and said to Rawls.

Rawls hesitated, but took off a tattered piece of clothing on his body.

Zhang Tie took the clothes with one hand, and smiled at Rawls, "Then, the ceremony is about to begin, please close your eyes first, and then open them when you hear someone tell you to open them. Good luck to you!"

After saying this, Zhang Tie's mental strength moved, and the more than 30 people holding hands around him were all sent to the Black Iron Fort by him, and disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if they had never appeared before. .

Seeing these people enter the Black Iron Fort, Zhang Tie felt relieved and felt an indescribable satisfaction.

Without wasting time, Zhang Tie took off his clothes directly, got some ash from the ground with his hands, and spread it on his hair and face, making himself the same as Rawls and the others. He directly put on the shabby, shabby clothes with a strange smell on Rawls, rolled on the ground a few times, and made himself a little more like.

While rolling, the blood of Phantom Pupils activated instantly, and Zhang Tie's black hair suddenly turned brown, and the color of his skin and eyes also changed accordingly. In just over ten seconds, Zhang Tie went from inside to outside. The appearance has become another person completely.

Then Zhang Tie crawled and dived towards the place where Rawls and the others crawled over...

Inside the Black Iron Castle...

"Okay, you can open your eyes..."

Heller's voice rang in the ears of Rawls and the others. The strange voice made those people open their eyes. Afterwards, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them...

Standing in front of everyone is a man who is as handsome as the sun god, and behind this man, what appears in front of everyone is a vibrant world. Although this world is at night, the colorful lights in the sky of this world The soft and bright light emitted by the clouds and mist can still let everyone see the oily green plants around them, and what everyone smells in their noses is also the fresh air with the scent of flowers and fruits.

This... this is not a dream...

"Ah, where is this?" Looking at the completely unfamiliar things in front of him, Rawls didn't react for a long time.

"This is your new home!" Heller looked at them gently.

The old man in the team who was talking to Zhang Tie just now was trembling, knelt on the ground, lowered his head deeply, picked up a handful of soil on the ground, put it in front of his nose, and inhaled deeply. He took a deep breath, and then burst into tears, and raised his hands high.

"Ah, such fertile and fragrant soil...I am not dreaming, it is real...it is real..."

Everyone knelt down...

"God, God must have heard our prayers and rescued us from the hell of suffering..." Someone shouted excitedly, "This must be the kingdom of God, it must be, we are saved... ..."

"You...are you a god?" The little girl next to Rawls raised her head and asked Heller.

"I'm not God, I'm God's steward..." Heller smiled.

At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that the fighter of the Human Race coalition army did not appear here at this time.

"That person is God, it is God who saved us...it is God who saved us..."

Everyone shouted excitedly... Support is my biggest motivation)
