Chapter 8 Hidden

"Pa..." With the crisp sound of the whip whipping on Xiuwen's body, Xiuwen, who was struggling to move the stone, let out a scream, and a bloodstain appeared on the back covered by the old clothes .

The stone that Xiuwen was carrying almost fell, Zhang Tie who was standing beside him stretched out a hand to help him stabilize.

"You untouchables, don't try to make me lazy, hurry up, clear this area for me, and see if I find anything..." The slave prisoner standing on a stone shouted loudly, "If you don't If those untouchables who escaped find it, you will die of exhaustion here..."

As if Zhang Tie turned his head to look at the slave supervisor, the slave supervisor whipped over without hesitation, hit Zhang Tie, and stared at Zhang Tie fiercely, "Boy, if you look at me again, I will gouge your eyes out!" come out……"

Zhang Tie's body trembled a bit, but that whip was nothing to Zhang Tie. In the past month or so, under the "beating" by the crew of the Fool airship, Zhang Tie ate three more iron fetuses. After eating the three iron fetuses, Zhang Tie felt that his body's ability to withstand blows had increased a lot.

Zhang Tie could bear it when he was whipped in Tianhan City before, let alone at this time, the unbearable punishment for ordinary people is like being swatted by a fly swatter to Zhang Tie.

This time is not the time to get angry with these scum, Zhang Tie did not speak, but lowered his head, moved the stone weighing more than 50 kilograms in his hand again, and pretended to be walking hard together with the others, holding the stone in his hand Move to that slope over there and throw it down...

"Ah, thank you..." Xiuwen took a breath and said gratefully to Zhang Tie.

The two walked to the slope and threw the stone down. Xiuwen glanced at the slave prisoner in the distance, and found that the guy didn't notice the situation here, so he quietly handed over a water bottle that he had hidden in his clothes. Zhang Tie, "Drink some water. It's been more than ten hours. I don't think you've had a sip of water yet..."

"Thank you, I don't need to..."

"Ah, your physical strength is really good..." Xiuwen glanced at Zhang Tie with some envy, then quickly opened the kettle and took a sip. After seeing a few people with teeth hanging around their necks walking over carrying stones, He hurriedly hid the kettle in his hand, and continued to walk towards the pile of rocks in the distance with Zhang Tie.

Those captives with teeth hanging around their necks walked over carrying a few smaller stones. Although they were also doing coolies, these people could get proper preferential treatment, and sometimes they could even take a rest. The lashes of the seldom seldom come upon them.

"Be careful with these people..." Xiuwen whispered to Zhang Tie after the guys with teeth hanging from their necks walked away, "Those people have already started eating human flesh, they have become beasts, as long as If they can survive, no matter what they are asked to do, they will do it without hesitation. Once these people become slaves, they will treat us more cruelly than the demons..."

Zhang Tie nodded. Once some people succumb to evil, they will become accomplices and thugs of evil, and they will show the dark side of human nature even more. How can a group of people be divided and start fighting among themselves? Consuming one's own strength, the demons and the three-eyed gang are already familiar with this.

Under the high pressure of the slave supervisors, the captives of the human race have been working continuously for more than ten hours, but they still haven't found any hidden underground secret passages or ground seams. Zhang Tie found that the demonized puppets The demonized puppets of the brigade in the camp also took action, and began to rush into the dark caves one by one,

Search everywhere for the whereabouts of the missing Terran captives.

Zhang Tie knew that they would never be able to find those people, and it was impossible for anyone to think of where those people were hiding. It was good news for Zhang Tie that those people had escaped to hide somewhere in the underground space, which meant that no one could discover his intrusion as a stranger.

With the departure of the demonized puppets of the brigade, the camp of the demonized puppets became relatively empty. Before leaving here, Zhang Tie had already made up his mind to give those bastards of the Senel family a "surprise". .

...

Fire mushroom is a kind of thing that looks similar to mushrooms on the ground. The whole body of fire mushroom is red, like a bright red umbrella. In this underground space, in those warm, humid and relatively backlit As long as the conditions are right, they will emerge from the ground in just one or two days.

In the past, there were a lot of fire mushrooms underground, but now there are fewer and fewer fire mushrooms. The most important reason is that all human captives, when they see fire mushrooms, no matter how big or small they are, they don’t care. It will wait until the fire mushroom is fully mature, and has the ability to release the seeds left by the robe, and then pull the fire mushroom, making the fire mushroom lose the ability to continue to reproduce.

An hour later, when moving a stone away, Zhang Tie saw a red canopy in the soil under the stone.

Before Zhang Tie moved, Xiuwen and a few captives next to him saw it and rushed forward, grabbed the fire mushroom and stuffed it into their respective mouths. In a panic, Xiuwen stuffed it into his own mouth One chewed, then grabbed one and handed it to Zhang Tie.

"Eat it quickly..."

Seeing how others were devouring it, Zhang Tie hesitated for a moment, and put the fire mushroom into his mouth. The taste of the fire mushroom was like green bagasse, slightly bitter and cold.

"You untouchables, hurry up and work..." Seeing the chaos here, a slave prisoner rushed over with a whip in his hand, beat the crowd with the whip indiscriminately, dispersed the crowd who snatched the fire mushrooms, and let everyone reunite Get to work.

...

After another seven or eight hours, until more than 80% of the human captives had no strength to walk no matter how they were beaten by the slave guards, the hard labor that lasted for a whole day was considered to be over. Regained the opportunity to rest and sleep again.

Although many of the captives "escaped" and those of the Senel family were also very angry, in order to prevent the remaining human captives from being completely exhausted, after squeezing everyone's physical strength and gaining nothing in a row, Sai Those of the Nell family still had to let all the human captives start to rest.

Zhang Tie returned to a cave along with Xiuwen and more than forty captives, all of whom had the strength to lie on the ground and breathe.

The other people didn't seem to care that there was one more person in the cave. It seemed that the number of people here was constantly changing.

Zhang Tie felt that the cave where these human captives rested was like an underground dungeon in Heiyan City. The air in the cave was filthy, and there was a strange smell. Some reflections came in from the entrance of the cave, shining on the top of the cave, so that there was a little bit of light in the cave, so that things would not be completely invisible.

After coming here to rest for a while, some people who regained a little physical strength struggled to get out of the cave again to find food, and some people took some strange, dry things out of their clothes and ate them. .

Zhang Tie almost retched when he saw a person next to him chewing vigorously with something that looked like a mouse's tail.

After resting for a while, Xiuwen also left the cave, went to the water source outside and filled a bottle of water.

Xiuwen originally wanted to find something to eat, but looking at his face when he came back, Zhang Tie knew that he must have gained nothing. Fortunately, he ate some fire mushrooms a few hours ago, and he still doesn't feel too hungry .

Zhang Tie found that the bagasse-like fire mushrooms start to ferment and swell when eaten in people's stomachs, making you feel "full", but in fact, the nutrients and supplements your body gets are not that much. many.

"Peter, tell me, is there really a secret passage or a crack in the ground?" Xiuwen asked Zhang Tie.

"Maybe!" Zhang Tie said vaguely, "In short, those people have already left here!"

"If we find any clues, don't tell them, just pretend we didn't find anything..." Xiuwen said in a low voice.

Zhang Tie looked at him and nodded.

"There are fewer and fewer fire mushrooms and food that can be eaten underground, and as many people as there are can survive!" Xiuwen said pessimistically.

"Don't you believe you can live?"

"Unless you become a lackey of the demons and a beast that eats human flesh, no one can leave here." As Xiuwen said, he quietly took out a small piece of dark brown thing from his body and gave it to Zhang Tie. Prepared by myself, mine is enough, this one is for you!"

"what is this?"

"A kind of dart mushroom that grows underground. I found it by chance a few days ago. It contains very high levels of muscarinic substances and a hemolytic toxoid. As long as you eat this small piece, it will make you feel sick in a few minutes. Die, and after you die, your corpse also contains highly toxic substances. Those beasts will not use your corpse as food, so that you can leave a whole corpse after death. When it is a last resort, this thing will make you suffer less."

"How do you know this?" Zhang Tie asked Xiuwen curiously.

"I used to be a botanist..." Xiuwen smiled wryly.

Zhang Tie took the dead thing in his hand, crushed it into pieces in front of Xiuwen, and then blew it away...

"You..." Xiuwen stared at Zhang Tie, seeming a little angry.

"I promise you, you won't use this kind of thing, and neither will I!"

"It's this time, what guarantee do you have?" Xiuwen looked at Zhang Tie with an alien look.

"Do you believe in miracles?"

"Miracle died the day we were brought here!"

"Maybe after you fall asleep and open your eyes again, a miracle will happen. People, don't lose your dreams and hopes!"

"Go to sleep, save some energy for Mingdian..." Xiuwen sighed, curled up, and lay on the ground.

Zhang Tie also lay on the ground, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of the full-effect potion and water "carried" from the Black Iron Fort, he silently closed his eyes, recovering his physical strength and energy, and at the same time Replenish the runes of the gods in the sea of ​​consciousness, keep yourself in the best condition, and wait for most people to fall asleep at the same time...
