Chapter 771: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Seven or eight hundred laborers came out of the huge cave, and each of them in three shifts was black and thin.
Exhausted, they devoured food, and the fishy and smelly food was soon swallowed by them.
"Eat so much, don't work! Get the hell out of here! ”
While they were still desperately stuffing the muddy food into their mouths, the overseer on the side had already come over with a leather whip.
Several whips were struck on the laborers, and the scorching pain made them have to hurry up, and their dusty hands did not forget to grab a handful.
"Aren't these overseers too ruthless, they can't eat enough to work hard, but it's easy to die, isn't it a waste of labor when these people die?"
Ye Chen looked at the overseers suspiciously, they didn't carry firearms, the only thing they had was an injured leather whip.
But the ruthlessness of each one was deadlier than anyone else, but the mercenaries who were in charge of guarding didn't pay much attention to what they did.
"You may not believe it, these guys were originally captured slaves, but after being given power, they intensified the abuse of these laborers one by one, in order to ask for merit and reward, because as long as more gems are dug up, they will have food, and this trick was invented by the living Hades!"
Tempest smiled, what did the life and death of these people have to do with him, but those overseers worked so hard, but they were also a kind of slave.
Once the number is insufficient, they will be reduced to those laborers, so they are more energetic than anyone else, and under the comparison one by one, the evil in human nature is brought into full play at this time.
"Well, this living Hades is really ruthless!"
Hearing these things, Ye Chen couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, it seemed that this living Hades really understood human nature.
First, they are afraid that they will also become those laborers, so they desperately let them catch up with the progress and share their efforts, and secondly, they also hope to continue to control the lives of others and let them lose themselves.
Controlling the power of life and death of others is definitely what most people aspire to from the origin of mankind to the present, otherwise there will be no wars and disputes.
Under the vicious circle, there is the state we are today, and without their drive at all, these overseers are more fierce than anyone else.
Ye Chen couldn't do anything now in order not to reveal his identity, and the two of them chatted all the way inside.
All the buildings were concrete-poured, and it can be seen that a lot of money was put into the building, and as for the laborers, they slept directly in the warehouse where the equipment was previously stored.
You don't need to get close, a gust of mountain wind blows, you can smell the pungent stench, it is not difficult to imagine what it is like to live in that kind of place.
No wonder the drunken cat said last night that he hates going to the mine the most, and he can smell the stench when he sits in his office.
"Today is the sun coming out of the west, you have worked hard, we are both thirsty, waiting for you to drink!"
It was noon after a lap, and the wind said to the drunken cat sitting in a chair.
"Do you think I don't want to, this is not to work, Lao Tzu is really unlucky, I have to do this kind of work, this morning there was a collapse below, and more than 20 died, this is not a delay in the construction period, if you can't hand over the goods, then the eldest brother will be angry!"
The drunken cat scratched his head and said to the two people helplessly, he didn't want to do this job, but he didn't want to go to the battlefield.
So I took over almost all the logistics work, became an errand accountant, and now I have to worry about not being able to complete the task on time.
"What's that, wouldn't it be nice to let those people dig it quickly, can you still do it yourself if you are in a hurry?"
Hurricane smiled and said to the drunken cat, and at the same time pulled over the chair and sat down, Ye Chen also sat aside and did not speak.
"You think I don't want to, but the collapse inside, just with these guys, there is no month that can't be cleaned up, and half of the delivery will be delivered next month! I'm going crazy, I don't blame me, what does the dead have to do with me, but you don't know the temper of the eldest brother, if you don't deliver the goods, he will definitely clean me up, what should I do! ”
The drunken cat grabbed his hair with both hands, and the scorpion king had clear rewards and punishments, and if he couldn't complete the task, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Originally, he was in charge of logistics, and there were no big mistakes, and there were no big mistakes in the face of his relatives.
But now it is the foundation of Devil's Mountain, if there is a problem with the gem mine, it will affect the overall situation, and then the living Hades will definitely be able to pick up a layer of skin on him.
"No, it's so serious!"
After hearing this, Tempest couldn't help frowning and asked, the relationship between the two of them is good, and he knows the seriousness of the matter even more.
If you can't complete the task, the Scorpion King will definitely punish him severely, and the drunken cat will really be over at that time.
"yes, I'm going crazy, I'm really done this time."
The drunken cat held his head, he had foreseen his fate, and it would be quite tragic.
"Then I'll take people immediately, go out and catch some people and come back, I heard that there are a few villages nearby, at least I can find you some more labor, and then work overtime!"
Tempest lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, he has a team in his hands, and more than a hundred people should be able to capture some labor.
"It's useless, that stone is very big, and it's useless to come another five hundred, why am I so unlucky, when I encounter such a natural disaster, if it doesn't work, you can arrange for me to escape, I don't want to be cleaned up by the living Hades, this guy is too perverted!"
The drunken cat jerked its head up, and if it didn't work, there was only one way left to escape.
"You're crazy, running away is a betrayal, and when the time comes, it's better to grit your teeth and ask for a sky lantern when you catch it, if it doesn't work, I'll catch some women, send them to the living Hades, and let him put some water when he is executed, yes, that's the only way to do it!"
Tempest rubbed his chin, it was impossible to escape, after all, the drunken cat's ability couldn't run far, and if he knew that he was helping him, he would not be able to escape it.
It's better to find a way from the hands of the executioner, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, anyway, he has had enough of the women here recently, maybe he can open the net.
"Then I can't stand it, that pervert is too ruthless!"
The drunken cat cried with a sad face, and when he thought of the smile of the living Hades, he was terrified, this guy also had a special beating room, and he didn't dare to go in it once he went there.
"Don't worry, third brother, fourth brother, I have a way to ensure that I can solve the urgent need."
At this moment, Ye Chen's eyes rolled, he could have watched from the wall, but the drunken cat was in charge of logistics, if he dealt with him well, it would be convenient to do things.
So he opened his mouth and said, and when he heard Ye Chen's words, the two of them were stunned, this method is really good, why didn't they think of it.
