People are full of pirates

Chapter 381 The Holy Land Shocked
The top of the Red Clay Continent, Marie Gioia.

This is a sacred place on earth that countless people yearn for. The streets covered with red carpets are wide and luxurious, and there are row upon row of magnificent and elegant buildings.

No matter looking around, or looking around, there are magnificent scenes everywhere, and even the air is extraordinarily fresh, making people feel like they are in the sky in the clouds.

But in this world.

Behind the more glamorous things, there are often hidden filth and ugliness that are hard to see.

The sun sets in the west.

Night falls, and the lights are on.

Mary Gioia entered the state of the "city that never sleeps", and the sound of singing and dancing could be faintly heard in the resplendent palace.

On the edge of the streets, many slaves who had worked hard for a day were roughly driven into dark and damp rooms by the overseers and guards like cattle and sheep.

It's more like a dungeon than a room. The light is dark and crowded, and the environment is naturally extremely harsh.

But the slaves who were extremely tired didn't care about this. Many of them didn't even take a look at the dinner, and just lay down on the straw mat and fell asleep.

Only those who are particularly strong and strong, or newcomers who have just been here for a short time, will cheer up and gobble up the swill-like meals.

The sixteen-year-old boy, "Lightning", is one of them.

Rotten cabbage roots, fatty meat and oil residue, rancid and smelly black bread... the things in the basin mixed together are disgusting, but in the face of extreme hunger, all these are nothing.

The young man couldn't wait to pick up the food bowl, buried his head in snoring and ate happily, finished all the meals in a short while, and licked the bottom of the pelvis unsatisfied.

"Damn it, you brat..."

A hoarse voice came from the side, "Eat this thing, can it taste so delicious?"

Lightning turned his head subconsciously, and saw a bald man with a height of five or six meters and scars all over his face, looking at him in surprise.

"I'm so hungry."

Lightning scratched his head embarrassingly, "And it's delicious, at least it's much better than what I ate before I was caught here..."

"where are you from?"

The giant bald man raised his eyebrows, and looked up and down at this strange boy with half yellow and half white hair and a lightning bolt carved on his forehead.

"South China Sea, Jiamu Principality."

"Oh, no wonder."

The bald-headed giant suddenly understood, and didn't ask any more questions.

He is also from the South China Sea, and he has heard of the name of the Principality of Jiamu.

Because the Grand Duke offended the Tianlong people at the World Conference in the early years, the heavenly gold offerings were doubled every year, and the country that was not considered wealthy suddenly became worse.

In just a few years, the country's population has dropped by nearly half. All the royal families, including the Grand Duke, were beheaded by the angry people and hung high on the city wall. Afterwards, the riots were suppressed by the world government, and countless victims were displaced and starved to death everywhere.

Look at it this way.

Perhaps becoming a slave is a good thing for the young man in front of him.

Looking at the boy who was still rubbing his belly, the bald giant shook his head, and handed over the half of his food bowl.

Lightning's eyes lit up, he thanked him, and impatiently took the food bowl, buried his head in eating, showing an astonishing appetite that didn't match his thin body at all.

The giant bald man was rubbing his sore shoulders, smiling and looking at him with gentle eyes, as if he was thinking of his son who had not died at the hands of Tianlong's lackeys at this time last year.

After a while.

Lightning, who swept away the food bowl like a storm, finally raised his head and belched contentedly.

Seeing the giant bald man looking at him, he smiled shyly, and carefully put the food bowl back next to the former, and just as he turned around, he noticed another strange "roommate" in the corner.

It was a young man in his twenties, with a messy beard as if he hadn't shaved for several years, sunken eye sockets, and skinny.

At this moment, he neither had dinner nor went to bed, just leaned halfway in the corner, staring blankly at a dilapidated photo in his hand, sometimes the corners of his mouth curled up, wondering what kind of dream he was dreaming about.

"What's the matter with him? He seemed to be like this last night, so he wasn't hungry at all?"

Lightning couldn't hold back his curiosity, and quietly asked the giant bald man next to him.

"Leave him."

The bald-headed giant took a look and then retracted his gaze, curled his lips and said, "That guy's name is Tezuolo, and he's been like that since five years ago. What Stacey girl."

"and after?"

"Later? That girl was thrown into the Colosseum by the Tianlong people and fed to the lions, and he became like this."

The bald giant said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Lightning felt pity in his heart, and moved over to talk and comfort him, but Tezolo didn't even bother to raise his eyelids to look at him, and he was still staring at the photo in a daze. He had no choice but to come back, rubbing his mess s hair.

"Sleep, don't waste your energy."

The giant bald man had already laid down, waved his hands and said, "I have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning to catch up with work. If I don't get enough rest, tomorrow I won't be mentally active and I will be whipped again."

"Oh."

Lightning had no choice but to lie down obediently, but the next moment his body reflexed, with a "hiss", he sat up straight again in pain.

"Picked in the afternoon?"

The giant bald man didn't turn his head back, but just threw a small cloth bag over, "The powder made from sand worms is not as good as the potion, but it's still useful. You can apply it yourself."

Lightning took it in a hurry, and was about to take it apart when he heard the lazy voice of the bald man:

"You are so small, if you are still beaten for doing this kind of work every day, I'm afraid you won't make it to the end of the year. Next month, the housekeeper from the manor outside will come to pick someone. Remember to clean up when the time comes, and you might be selected."

"The manor of the Tianlong people?"

Lightning was slightly stunned, "Where to go, what are you doing, will your life be better?"

"Gardeners, servants, apprentice cooks, what are you missing?"

The giant bald man yawned for a long time and sneered, "Be smarter and more obedient, at most you will get less whips and live a better life? Let's just forget it, how could it be better, remember , since it came in, this kind of life is destined to have no end."

That's it.

He didn't speak anymore, and after a while he snored loudly.

Lightning finished applying the powder in silence, folded the cloth bag, and carefully put it into the pocket of the bald giant man. Then he hugged his knees and slowly lay sideways on his straw mat.

At this time, it was late at night, the candles in the prison had been extinguished, and the snoring sounded one after another in the darkness.

Looking at the depths of the dark corridor, the young man tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time.

Are such days really endless?
It doesn't seem to matter, anyway, outside, it's just another bigger prison, but I don't know what happened to my mother and brother who were separated from me on the way to escape.

if you can.

Before I die, I seem to have a look at them again, even if I only see them once...

impression.

The night we were separated was also like today, right?The moon was covered by dark clouds, and it was so dark that there was no light at all. Only the burning village in the distance was flickering with fire.

Firelight?

Lightning froze suddenly, staring at the flickering flame on the pitch-black wall in astonishment.

Where did the fire come from?

The young man suddenly woke up, stood on tiptoe and looked out the iron window of the fence. His pupils reflected the raging fire in the row upon row of bustling buildings in the distance.

……

"It's flooded! The south of the city is flooded!"

"The north of the city is also on fire!"

"Damn it, someone must have set fire to the city! Search around and catch him!"

……

Boom!
With a loud bang, the iron door of the prison was kicked open.

The two guards who came to stop them saw huge red fist shadows in their eyes. The next moment, they screamed and flew upside down, fell to the wall, rolled their eyes and passed out.

In the light of the fire, the tall red murloc bent down and roughly took a bunch of keys from their waists.

Then strode into the dark corridor.

After a moment.

At the gate of this prison, a group of slaves appeared.

They supported each other, walked out behind the murlocs, looked at the burning city in front of them, and listened to the sirens and screams from a distance, unable to recover from the shock for a long time .

Juvenile Lightning is also among them.

"It's actually... It's not a dream, someone really came to save us."

The giant bald man next to him pinched his arm hard, but his expression was still full of disbelief.

He was woken up in his sleep by the crazy shaking of the young man, and in a daze, just as he was about to get angry, a tall red-skinned murloc blatantly broke the door and rushed into the prison.

Before he could react, he saw this hunk, knocked out all the guards, and released them all.

"Hey, big guy!"

The giant bald man couldn't help shouting at the murloc in front, "Who the hell are you! Let us know your name!"

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, let's talk about it later!"

Many slaves around were kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down their cheeks, kowtowing to the benefactor who saved them. Fisher Tiger lifted the nearest few and roared:
"Get up quickly! Now is not the time for such an occasion. Is there anyone among you who can fight?"

"Fight? Of course!"

The bald-headed giant laughed loudly, clenched his fists and waved in the air, "I am a descendant of the giant race, I'm eating enough for dinner, and I have enough strength to move my arms and legs!"

You obviously gave me half of it, how can I get enough... Lightning glanced at him disdainfully, but also gritted his teeth, and then raised his hand high:

"Me! I also have the strength to participate in the battle!"

"And I!"

"Benefactor! I can do it too!"

There was a thunderous response all around.

Not only young and strong men, but even some young girls and old people turned red and raised their arms high.

"That's good, now, hurry up!"

Fisher Tiger raised the torch in his hand high and roared sharply:

"Separate! A group of people go to the nearby streets and alleys to continue setting fire! The rest of them, follow me, go to the rest of the prisons in the city, and rescue everyone as quickly as possible!"

"understand!"

"Leave it to me, benefactor!"

……

Someone took the torch from the murloc and rushed to the nearby streets;
There were also people who followed Tiger to the rest of the prisons.

Even at some fork in the road, when guards chased them, some of the slaves took the initiative to separate to meet and retreat the enemy.

Trapped in hell and tortured for a long time, the hope of breaking the shackles and being saved is at hand.

No matter how cowardly a person is, they can burst out with amazing courage at this moment.

……

Boom!
There was another loud noise, and the tall iron gate in the dark night was kicked open.

"I really love this feeling."

Standing at the door, urging the slaves below to come out, the giant bald man grinned and turned his head, "Hey! Little Lightning! How many batches have we rescued?"

"The fifth batch."

Lightning replied without hesitation, he remembered it clearly.

At this time, more than half an hour had passed, and the whole of Marie Gioia was in a mess. According to the benefactor, at most half an hour later, they had to end all rescues and start to evacuate.

Bang!
The guard room next to him was kicked away suddenly, and Tezolo stuck out his head in surprise, "Hey! Big guy! There are a lot of guns here, at least hundreds of them!"

"gun?"

The bald giant's eyes lit up, and he smiled even more happily:

"This is even better! Hurry up, Tezolo! Hand out the guns, and then deal with the chasing guards, it will be much easier!"

"no problem!"

Tezzolo hurriedly turned to do it. When he turned his head, his hands were trembling, and his eyes were shining with excitement and longing.

And Lightning scratched his head. This guy, not long ago, was slumped in the corner of the wall with his face numb like a dead man, why now... seems to have exploded with a higher fighting spirit than anyone else?
