Alien world

Chapter 954 185. Rekanel belongs to us!
The miners threw the traitor's body deep into the mine, and a piece of rubble was peeled off to make it look like a mine collapse.

The next day, when the guards came in, they pretended they knew nothing.

The guard didn't care. It was normal for a few people to die in the mine. Which cave didn't have a few ghosts of those who died in vain?

With the help of the traitor, Little Smooth, who had gathered the slave miners, seized the time and took them to mine in the coal mines. He gathered the mined coal together and finally divided it equally.

In order to avoid being discovered by the guards, they took out only a little more coal than usual. Relying on his new status, Little Simo even asked how he could get outside to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the guard glanced over and said, "Go if you want."

"You don't care?"

The guard said impatiently: "In the beginning, you were the ones who asked if we could live in the cave because it was too cold outside. Now... oh, all the miners are dead."

Given the harsh environment and food, the miners were clearly treated as consumables.

Looking at the light coming in from behind the guard, little Smo had some ideas.

"Boss, let me try..." the rabbit whispered. Ever since Little Smooth said he would take him out to see his mother, he has become the most loyal servant.

"Then let's go together."

A few other miners followed. They didn't want to go out in the cold, but they were afraid that little Small would abandon them and run away.

"What a hassle... Don't die outside." The guard waved his hands and didn't even bother to send anyone to follow him.

After coming out, Little Small knew the reason: outside the coal mine was a basin located in the mountains. In the depression, there were some houses emitting smoke, and some guards were patrolling.

The towering mountains blocked Yize Bay, and with the cold wind blowing, these thinly dressed slaves had no chance of getting out of the mountains before freezing into popsicles.

There are many mines around the basin, and Lame Babu should have been sent to one of them.

The wind was strong in the mountains, and they got back into the mine before freezing. The guard distributed the food and left with the light.

The miners gathered expectantly. Little Smoker lit the oil lamp and said to the miners around him: "Today's story is about the three hundred warriors of Liberty City..."

……

A new day, a new work.

Another unlucky guy was sent in today. Before he could get over the bad news of becoming a slave, he was absorbed into the Free Blade and recognized a short man as his leader.

In the evening, the miners turned in their baskets.

Little Small carefully controlled the total amount of coal mined, ensuring that it was only slightly more than yesterday, but the guard seemed to be in a good mood -

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the residents of Ize Bay had no choice but to buy firewood and coal if they didn't want to suffer the cold. They took the opportunity to make a lot of money.

"I want to ask you about someone..." Little Smoker took the opportunity to lean over and asked. "An old man who was sent in with me, he is lame-"

"Old man? There seems to be a..."

"Where is he!?" Little Small asked hurriedly.

The guard chuckled and said, "They listen to you, right? I can see that. Tomorrow we will mine 30% more coal than today. Don't try to play tricks."

Fortunately, the coal they had saved in advance was enough to make up for the 30% gap.

The next day, Little Smooth finally saw the guard. He begged, "Sir, can you tell me where he is?"

"Yes, I knew you could get it... Let me think... Oh, it seems an old man died a few days ago and was thrown into the cemetery by the people over there."

"died……?"

Little Small was stunned there, unable to believe that Babu, who had patiently guided him along the way, had died just like that...

"Where is his body..." Little Smo's voice trembled. "In the southeast corner of the basin, go look for it there."

The guard was very happy about the 30% more coal and told Little Small.

The distraught Little Smo ran out of the mine. The sky was gloomy, and the last autumn rain in the North was brewing.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards, little Smo ran to the southeast corner and found the "cemetery", an abandoned open-air mine where bones and corpses were thrown randomly into the pits. Because of the cold, there was no need to worry about the breeding of plague.

Little Small ran to the bottom of the pit and searched everywhere, and finally found Lame Babu, whose face was a bloody mess and whose body had turned lead-colored.

Icy rain fell from the sky.

……

After coming back from the soaking wet little Small fell seriously ill, and he almost died in this unknown mine... If the miners had not covered him with their "quilts" and used the hidden torches and lamp oil to keep him warm, he would have been buried together with Lame Babu.

Even so, it took little Small three days to wake up from his high fever and see the rabbit sitting in front of the tiny fire.

"Why do you look even weaker than me..." The high fever seemed to have burned Little Small's throat, and his voice was unusually hoarse.

The rabbit smiled bitterly: "If you don't wake up, we will not be able to survive... The guards have been asking us for 30% more coal for three consecutive days..."

"Isn't it just one day?"

"How can they be so kind! After you fell ill, you demanded that we give you this coal, or else the food would be reduced by half!"

They work hard to mine, but the food they get is still not enough to eat, and if they don't mine, they can't get any food...

"I'll go talk to him..." Little Small struggled to get up with the help of the rabbit, put on several tattered clothes, and walked out of the cave.

It was time to collect coal. As the rabbit helped Little Smoo to the cave entrance, they heard a loud noise.

"We really can't dig any more..." a hard-working miner pleaded.

The guards didn't care about him: "This is your own business."

"Master guard..." The arrival of Little Smo made the miners make way for him. He walked up to the guard and said weakly, "We are too hungry and have no strength to work... Can you give us a normal amount of food so that we can recover our strength and then repay the coal mine..."

"I don't care. If we can't dig up coal, we won't have anything to eat!"

The guard didn't care about little Small either. He left after saying a few words.

Later, the food delivered by the dining car was indeed reduced by half.

"I'm sorry, I'm holding you back." Little Small said, "I wanted everyone to get enough rest first..."

The miners were too hungry to speak. Only Jeremy realized something: "Whatever you want to do, we will listen to you!"

They all raised their heads and saw little Smo's thin, sunken cheeks and eyes sparkling with bright fighting spirit.

"Brothers... We were slaves in their territory, and they made us starve..."

"We fill their estates with treasure, and they fill our lungs with dust."

"We let them enjoy a nice meal in front of a warm fireplace, and they made us eat slime in the dark of a mine!"

"We told them about our sufferings, and they laughed loudly, saying that this is slavery!"

"It's time to end all this. We are countless fingers. We must clench them into fists and smash all the bad guys who step on us!"

"Freedom belongs to the Free Blade!"

"Freedom belongs to us!"
