Unable to reveal any particular talents, Esther landed on Grand Abaco Island and was registered as an essential laborer, and after a hearty meal, he was sent to the island's farm to pick tomatoes.

Esther didn't understand why the people of the 'Aurora Army' were still picking tomatoes slowly and methodically at this tense moment. But in fact, there are still many people involved in tomato picking, and the origin of the personnel is very complicated.

There were Americans, Cubans, Haitians working on the farms, and Easter asked how these people came from. As a result, it turned out that during the battle a few days ago, the pilots who did not return to Nassau did not actually surrender to the 'Aurora Legion', but flew to other places around.

So the news of the defeat of General Santos by the 'Aurora Army' was spread by these pilots, and soon spread throughout the waters around the Bahamas. Moreover, the 'Aurora Army' not only dropped leaflets in Nassau, but also dropped flyers in other places, and many people who couldn't survive tried their best to run to Great Abaco Island to find a way to survive.

The people who came to Great Agbaco felt that they were saved, some were assigned to canneries, some were sent to the sea to fish, and some were picked on the farms to pick all kinds of fruits and vegetables. They found that life here was a bit hard, but it was enough to fill their stomachs.

In fact, the 'Aurora Army' gives its labor a pretty good meal, although there are no particularly precious ingredients, but the seafood in the sea, the fruits and vegetables on the farm are all openly supplied, at most the staple food is a little lacking, but it can still fill the stomach.

In the crowd of tomato-pickers, Esther even saw the woman who called herself a 'prostitute', who also worked on the farm with her children. Easter asks how she got here? As a result, the other party said that the entire island was under military control, and everyone must obey the assignment and not work at will.

"Working on a farm is tiring, haven't you complained?" East asked.

The woman shook her head, but her sweaty face was very lively, "I think it's good, I can't ask too much now." At least my kids and I are having a good time and don't have to worry about anything else. ”

After working on the farm for two or three days, Esther was amazed at how well the organization of the 'Aurora Legion' was organized, and everyone was doing their job, and there were no idlers wandering around. Of course, if someone makes a disturbance, the armed soldiers patrolling in battery cars will really throw the troublemakers into the sea.

The militarized management immediately brought order to order on the entire island, and production work was extremely busy. Esther found that the tomatoes he collected were sent to the cannery, where the workers were busy producing ketchup.

"Who are you going to give to so much ketchup?" The production of ketchup is very simple, it is nothing more than boiling and mashing with various food additives. It's food that can be stored for a long time, but watching the vat of ketchup being produced, Esther feels that this is completely more than the Aurora Army needs inside.

But the worker only answered the question, and only said: "We don't know, anyway, we will do whatever we want." It is said that it is for reserves, others say it is for trade, and of course it is said that it is for recruiting more people. ”

The Aurora Legion did recruit a lot of people, and when Esther first arrived on the island, the number of laborers working for the Legion was at most 500, but after a week, the population of the island was definitely over 5,000. He once helped transport ketchup onto the Aurora, and he heard from the ship's sailors that the ketchup was destined for Miami, Florida, across the sea.

"What are you going to do in Miami?"

"It is said that there are a large number of slaves for sale in Miami, and the Legion is doing everything possible to buy slaves from Miami, or rather, to free them. I think we're going to be lucky to be contained by the Legion. ”

The distance from Grand Abaco Island to Miami was also more than two hundred kilometers, and the information obtained from the sailors was quickly verified. It is said that the price of slaves there was extremely cheap, and a large vat of ketchup could buy ten, and if it was canned seafood, it could be doubled.

The Aurora brought back more than 1,000 young men and women, who were often greatly tortured, ragged, emaciated and frightened. Easter was sent to take care of the rescued men.

"What does Miami look like now?" Esther was in charge of providing the poor people with liquid food, and by the way, asked about the situation.

"What hell looks like, what does Miami look like?" It was a white man who spoke, and it was said that the whole family had died, and he was the only one left.

"Florida has a very developed agriculture, so you shouldn't be short of food." East was puzzled.

"Not short of food?" The white man smiled wryly: "Florida is indeed not short of food, but those things don't belong to us anymore." After the disaster, countless Cubans invaded our homeland from the sea, and we tried our best to resist, but do you know how many of them were? Millions!

But when the government, the police, and the military all disappeared, those Cubans came to Florida like crazy. They tried everything they could to bring people ashore by boat, and we couldn't stop them. Eventually, millions of people landed, completely usurped our living space, and sold us as slaves. ”

The white man howled and cried, as did the other freed slaves around him. However, these poor people only cultivated for two or three days before they were driven to work by the people of the 'Aurora Legion'. Someone who said he had not recovered from his trauma and was unable to work, and as a result, those who used such excuses were expelled in public.

Esther witnessed this cruel scene with his own eyes, and the man named Victor. Hugo's legion leader personally gave a short speech, "We are not a world of freedom, equality, and fraternity. Now that you have joined our group, you should contribute to the group, or please leave. ”

The evicted people cried that they were willing to work and not to leave. But the Legionnaires ignored his pleas and threw him back to Miami. Esther knew that this man would be dead if he was thrown back, and he now understood what the Aurora Legion had preached when he came ashore - this was not heaven.

Work, work, non-stop work, the area of Big Abaco Island is not large. In just half a month, the resources here have been stretched to the limit by the 'Aurora Legion', and the legion has to expand to other surrounding islands in order to accommodate more people.

However, this expansion was disturbed by Santos's men, who did not dare to go to Grand Abaco Island to cause trouble, but they could take advantage of the lack of ships of the 'Aurora Legion' to hinder the expansion of the legion.

For this reason, the head of the legion was extremely annoyed, and he had no choice but to ask thousands of people on the island as if he were an immortal horse doctor, 'Who can get a warship?'

This question is really beyond the ability of most people on the island, but East, who has been on the island for more than half a month, feels that he has finally waited for an opportunity, which may be able to relieve the plight of his companions behind him.

"I can get a warship!" (To be continued.) )
