Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 800

Some people also asked about his name, and wanted to help him after knowing his name, because if he knew his name, he would be able to determine whether he was a smuggled criminal. Even if the information is not actively registered, it will be scanned by the machine after entering the mechanical hive to generate identity information.

Alu did not dare to say his name anyway, because the supervisors of the Kaki Island mining area and the agents of each area are all online. Once they find that he is asking for help online, the people who greet him will be thorough. bottomless despair.

Aru refuses to speak his name, so no one in the network trusts him anymore.

Alu was devastated and panicked, because the phone's battery was about to run out, and he couldn't reach a place where he could charge it on Kaki Island.

He can only spend more than ten minutes every night connecting to the Internet, asking for help from the outside world in chat rooms and forums.

Seeing the time passing by day by day, the battery of the mobile phone is getting less and less, Alu's hair is falling out in anxiety and fear one by one, and he also has mental problems. He can't even speak normally. The distance between the friends around him and him further and further.

Until a week later, before the battery of the mobile phone was almost completely exhausted, an ID named "wolf" extended a helping hand to him——

"I am a reporter from a missionary school, and I firmly believe that I can help you. "

When Alu saw this news, he believed in the existence of Holy Light for the first time in his life.

After receiving Wolff's message, the phone automatically shut down immediately because it was out of battery.

But Alu’s mood is completely different from before. He still remembers what he looked like that night—he was lying on the big bunk in the dormitory, listening to the snoring of his roommates one after another. The smell of feet in the nose, eyes bright enough to see the cobwebs in the corner of the ceiling in the dark.

The next day, at the cost of three meals, he got the help of a miner who knows some electricity technology—the miner helped him to make a simple mobile phone charger with the battery of the searchlight—not sure if it will The kind that blows up your phone.

Alu's luck came for the second time—although the self-made charger was seriously overheated, it could actually charge the phone!

He can finally contact "wolf"!

After the two got in touch, they had a lot of exchanges. Although Alu's physical condition was still poor, his mental state was much better than before—at least he no longer thought about suicide every day.

Although Alu was exhausted from work every day, he had strength in his heart, and was able to detour from the dormitory area to the mining area after get off work, and took pictures of the mining agent killing the miners with his mobile phone.

In addition to students like Alu who were tricked here, there are also some "permanent workers" in the mine. Alu has almost never had contact with those people, so he doesn't know why they have been staying here.

"The miners in each mining area come from different sources... A wave of miners will be divided into several parts, scattered and distributed in different mining areas, which reduces the situation of collective resistance... Collective resistance is not without... But they have guns. "

"My guys and I were lucky enough to be allocated an area...otherwise, there would be no one to talk to."

He bowed his head, unable to recover from such an environment.

He threw away the cigarette butt and lit the second cigarette with skillful movements. His addiction to cigarettes was obviously great:

"The only good thing about the island is that you can buy cigarettes, Falk, if I can't smoke, I don't know how I can survive..."

His voice was low and his articulation was not very clear.

In his subsequent narration, Wolfe Raibert learned that someone had successfully escaped, and even went to Days Island, but when that person told the matter to the First Island Chain on Days Island, When contacting the manager of the company, the other party just laughed at him as a joke and warned him not to interfere with official duties.

"I don't have much time." As Alu said, he frequently looked at the other side of the model house: "We only have 10 minutes a day to relax...I have to go back quickly, or they will arrange to go to the island. Pick up guests from the tavern above."

He looked at Wolf Reibert with firm eyes:

"Wait till night! I'll put you in touch with the miners you want to interview! You can ask anything!"

The two clearly agreed on something in advance.

Alu limped and disappeared to the other side of the model house, and the trio returned to the deciduous forest in the cold zone that had been cut down on the hill, waiting quietly.

Messiah looked at the direction where Aru's figure disappeared, and inexplicable prayers appeared there again.

While her eyes were in a trance, a [patio] flashed in front of her eyes. At this moment, the entire Gaki Island was shrouded in the dim halo of [patio], and an inexplicable prayer appeared not far in front of her In a [patio] in the darkness of the deep pit.

Someone was calling her there, but it wasn't her name.

She heard those calls, and felt pity in her heart.

But she clearly understood that these mercies did not belong to her.

What a hateful feeling.

……

Time passed quickly in the silent waiting, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

The sun on Kaki Island went down at three o'clock in the afternoon, so when the sunset glow on the sea level disappeared completely, the darkness had completely filled and blocked all vision.

The darkness in the mountains is deep, and it is far from enough to describe the density of this darkness. Without turning on the light of the mobile phone, Wolf Ribot could not even see the snowflakes falling directly in front of his pupils.

In such deep darkness, even a little light can become a striking torch.

So the three of them waited in silence the whole time, and didn't try to illuminate in any way.

Around 09:30 p.m., Wolfe's phone screen finally lights up - a text message is pushed to his phone.

"I'm off work, see you at the old place. "

The three of them returned to the place where they met Alu before. At this time, Alu was already waiting there, holding three miners' uniforms in his hands. The miners' uniforms exuded a strong smell of sweat, and they seemed to be stolen. .

The people in the north of the empire are tall. Wolf and Messiah can barely hold up the clothes after wearing the miners' clothes, but the glutinous rice fruit is uncomfortable. She is a little shorter than the two. Barely fit.

After finishing all this, Aru carefully explained what will happen next:
"There are too many people in the dormitory, and there are too many stupid people, it is definitely impossible to do the interview, and they will not cooperate well.

So let's go directly to the mining area, where most of the old miners are very hard-working, they must have accumulated a lot of grievances over the years, and they know much more about the mining area than me, and they must know some dirtier secrets. "

This was not Aru's temporary idea, but the result of changing his strategy according to the actual situation after discussing with Wolf Ribot.

Before the trio came to Kaki Island, Aru and Wolfe originally discussed interviewing the miners in the dormitory where Aru lived. At that time, they considered that Aru could contact these people in advance to prepare for the interview. The area is familiar with the terrain, and there is a high probability of avoiding the risk of being discovered by the supervisor and the area agent.

But when Alu actually went to test it out, he realized that most of his colleagues were extremely stupid and stubborn idiots. They dismissed things like investigations and were already content with such a life, even though they seemed to be They acted fiercely, but they were just stern and soft. When the supervisor appeared, they would immediately smile, just like a domesticated dog.

Wolf Raibert promised him that as long as he could photograph the truth in the mine, he would have a way to expose the filth on the island,

The four of them moved forward in the dark, bypassing the dormitory and entering the construction site outside the mining area. At this time, there was already some light around them—the light came from a workshop with smoke and the sound of boilers.

Alu said that it is the mechanical repair shop in this area. Because the old mine cars, tracks and tools in the mining area are too old, they often have problems. The maintenance personnel usually have to work very late to ensure the normal operation of the entire mining area. .

The topography of the factory area above the mining area is very complicated, and there are abandoned workshops everywhere. It used to have the function of a processing factory, but for some unknown reason, those processing factories were abandoned, leaving only dilapidated factory buildings, which have now been buried by heavy snow. Can't see what it looks like anymore.

The ground of the entire factory area is covered with various track-changing tracks, and it is impossible to tell whether they are still in use.

Wolf Reibert understood at this time that if there was no one like Alu who was familiar with the mining area to lead the way, even if they could enter the mining area, they probably would not be able to get out.

They soon entered the open pit mine.

The vertical depth of the coal mine veins on Kaki Island is very small, so the entire mining area has formed a funnel shape since it was mined to this day. The edge of the funnel-shaped open-pit mining area is surrounded by dense spiral mines, most of which are covered by steam rails.

Under the leadership of Alu, they continued to move down along the steam rail, and after passing through several forks, a light appeared in front of them again.

"It's here...the supervisors don't rest at night, they will take shifts, but they don't patrol all the time, most of them sit on high places and play with their mobile phones...as long as the workers are still working, no matter how fast or slow they work, they won't say anything .

So as long as we keep quiet, we won't attract attention. "

They move on.

At the corner of a certain mine road, at a reclaimed ore lode, they met an old miner.

The old miner hunched over, and slowly and feebly smashed picks one after another on the mine veins. The miner's uniform on his body had been washed so white that he couldn't see the original appearance at all. The miner's hat was also very old, but it was not worn. Ragged, which is probably why he still wears a miner's hat to this day.

When the four approached, the old miner straightened up and looked at them.

"Nah...Xiaowa, you asked me to work the night shift?"

The old miner's Imperial language carries a heavy accent.

After he straightened up, Wolf Reibert saw that he was already hunched over badly, and there was a big bulge under the shoulders and neck, which was caused by years of working in the mines.

Wolfe was a little nervous. He recalled the words he had prepared before, and unconsciously straightened the phone that was recording in the front of his chest.

"Well, we just came...Uncle, when you came in, didn't you say anything about salary?"

The old miner laughed when he heard this. Even if the new miners and the old miners do not work in the same area, he has also met various new people in other ways during his long career. What he likes most is seeing new people Questions after coming to the mining area——

Why is it different from the salary agreed by the intermediary?
Why do the dormitories on the island have no heating during the nine months of bitter cold?
Why can you only eat one meal of meat in a month?

He would always answer their questions with a smile, and appreciate their bewildered appearance.

And today, as usual, he answered questions from the newcomers with a kind gesture:
"Salary, you can't talk to the agent of the mining area on the island, you have to talk to the intermediary when you came, because according to the contract, the mining area is not responsible for paying your wages, and your wages are paid by the mining area first. Give it to the intermediary, and then the intermediary will distribute it to you on its behalf."

With a vein popping out of Wolf Raibert's forehead, he suppressed his anger:
"Is this legal?"

The old miner replied:

"Of course, you can sue them as you like. There are many people who have sued them, but none of them have won."

He added:

"There was a young man three years ago. When he first came, he was in the same state as you are now. He came through a job fair organized by the Northern Federation. After he came, he still had to abide by the rules of the island?"

He admired:

"The young man has courage, courage, and can bear it. He endured it for a full year and collected a lot of evidence. After the contract expired, he went directly to the Northern Federation to complain."

The old miner seemed to be tired, so he paused.

Wolf stared, and asked impatiently:

"and after?"

The old miner seemed to be waiting for him to ask. As soon as he asked, he got an answer immediately:

"Later, he didn't hear from him."

Wolf felt a chill.

Aru looked at Wolfe, his eyes full of loneliness.

Wolfe knew from his eyes that the old miner was not lying.

He said solemnly:

"Uncle... what about you? How many years have you worked? How much salary can you get now?"

The old miner grinned and said:
"I, I'm different from you guys. I came here when Gaki Island was pioneering. When I came, I followed the pioneering team to chop wood, kill bear monsters, dig out snake nests, and kill all the living things on the island. , built the construction site, dug the mine, and then followed the mine.

So when I first entered the mine, I had survived for a year, changed the contract, and no longer received wages from the intermediary, but directly received wages from the mining area. "

That was a piece of history that Wolfe couldn't think of at all.

At that time... the pioneering era of Kaki Island was more or less ten years ago. At that time, there was no Internet, and people could not upload the situation of Kaki Island to the Internet at that time. I searched for detailed information about that era on the Internet, just knowing that there was such an era.

When talking about this topic, the old miner looked very excited, which seemed to be the only thing he could be proud of.

"Young people, how can you not endure hardships? In fact, the first few months are difficult, as long as you get over it, you will get used to it."
