Lord of Rot

Chapter 519 Rebirth
The cabin was dull and crowded with people.

Ulti was holding his breath. Someone farted again just now. Because the smell of the potatoes in the morning meal could not escape in the cramped space, the person almost escaped.

But no one said that this kind of life was not good. They even wondered if this was still the life of a slave?In charge of meals every day, each ship is accompanied by a pharmacist who knows some skills, and also provides small pills for inspection at a fixed time.

Moreover, I had some big and sweet dates for breakfast today.

Ulti stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. It was sweet. It was really sweet. Compared with the days in Gaoxue City after being sold, life was so good.

It’s not like this day just started today.

Since the last "Flying Man Incident", yes, it is the Flying Man. It is said that the fourth apostle sent by Avadao descended from the sky in order to eliminate the believers with evil intentions. The only information channel is the one holding a hard pole. Slave owners, of course, Ulti believed whatever they said.

Anyway, he is not a believer in Avadao. Among slaves, everyone believes in one of the four gods, Prisoner. He is considered to be the God of Judgment, the God of Punishment, and the God of Death. He represents dedication and sacrifice, and even some extreme slaves. They believe that death is a gift given by prisoners. When some slaves cannot persist due to suffering and torture, fanatic believers in prisons will take action to free them.

He was just a diligent young horseman who could repair horses' hooves. Later, he was captured by the barbarian tribe on the Enduo Plateau and saved his life because of his ability to repair horses' hooves. Later, conflicts broke out between the grassland tribes and the tribes. He also changed his master and was sold to High Blood City at a low price.

It is said that their batch was originally going to be sold to Oasis City, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly stopped buying it.

Ulti still remembers that a group of slaves who were traveling with him were so excited that they couldn't sleep when they heard that they could be sold to the Oasis City as slaves. It was said that the grass there was green, the fruit trees were full of all kinds of sweet and juicy fruits, and the food yield was high. , the livestock are healthy and give birth to many offspring, that is the Kingdom of God.

Helpless, they could only be driven to Gaoxue City by the stick-wielding slave masters, and began to live an inhumane life, with no enough food to eat and endless work to do. Fortunately, they were strong and rarely whipped. And the biggest wish of the people around them as slaves is to be sold.

After following the team out of High Blood City, Ulti just walked numbly. When he saw someone falling to the ground due to lack of water, he knew very well that the slave was dead.

The team cannot stop because of a certain person. If it is delayed for a while, the slaves who are already exhausted may also be dragged down. All they can do is grit their teeth and persevere.

But to the shock of Ulti and all the slaves, the slave owner took out the kettle and gave him some food.

It is normal for a long queue to be followed by several carriages carrying supplies. After all, slaves also need to eat, but everyone does not know where they are going, and they also know that according to the characteristics of the high-blooded city, you will not be allowed to eat and drink. Therefore, the food in a few carriages seems to be a lot, and hundreds of people can eat it with open stomachs. It will not last for a few days. If they live frugally, they will probably be able to eat for a few months.

The journey is indeed hard, but if you have food and water, it won't be a problem.

As if they were suddenly frightened by the arrival of the "Fourth Apostle", although the slave owners were still full of disdain, they did not embarrass them.

What should I do if I don’t have enough food?Forget it, let’s survive today first.

When we arrived at Oasis City... it should be Oasis City. It was deserted and there were many soldiers stationed there, but the entire city was filled with sand. A sandstorm almost destroyed the place.

It's nothing like the legend.

Before Ulti could take a closer look at this dilapidated town, he was pushed onto a ship docked at the port.

"It's time to relax!"

The shouts from outside brought Urti back to his senses. He had excitement on his face, just like everyone else.

Their ship only had a few dozen people crammed into it, including a few sailors, cooks, and disciplinary slave owners. The rest were all slaves.

Crowding is normal.

The door to the cabin was opened, and everyone lined up to go out.

Dozens of people also had to go out for fun in batches. It was impossible for everyone to go out. Ulti was in the second batch. After the first batch came back as ordered, Ulti stood up with his knees supported by his palms.

The salty sea breeze hit him enthusiastically when he climbed out of the cabin.

The sun was very hot, so Ulti squinted his eyes slightly to let his eyes adapt as quickly as possible.

Looking at the blue waves in the distance, I saw many small boats on the endless sea. They also came from High Blood City. Some set off together with Ulti's boat, and some just started earlier or later.

Breathe the fresh air and stretch your body.

Thinking of the first time he heard the news that he could escape, Ulti couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He had never had such extravagant hope before.

After his body felt a little better and he was no longer so aggrieved, he ended his precious free time and entered the cabin again.

eat.

There's even meat.

And soup.

Vegetables, rare berries.

Let the wind out.

And today’s physical exam.

In fact, even if you are really diagnosed with a physical problem, there is no way to treat it on the ship. External application for minor illnesses and external injuries, and medicine for internal injuries. But if it is an infectious disease, etc., then you can only fend for yourself. You can survive by being isolated. Just live. If you can't survive, you can only throw it into the sea and feed it to the fish.

Ulti has seen it twice with his own eyes. When the body was thrown into the sea, he was the one who helped.

He knew better than anyone else that if the sick people were not thrown out, everyone on the ship would die.

As time passed day by day, Ulti no longer had the concept of time. The food was not too bad, but everyone's physical condition became very bad, barely maintaining between health and illness, and the body became visibly thinner. Go down, but Ulti's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, because just two days ago, the slave owner named Bang Bang, who was relatively easy to talk to, said personally that they would be arriving soon.

In mid-June, at noon, the sun on the sea made my skin hurt like an iron knife.

It was a huge port with countless small boats moored around it.

"Come on! Get in line here!"

After the ship docked safely, Ulti and others disembarked following the soldiers wearing armor. The armor was really bright and looked like a knight, but it was probably not a knight. They didn't do hard work.

After disembarking, you will first undergo a physical examination, and then register your name, sub-number, etc.

Ulti was confused all the way.

He didn't dare to ask or say anything, so he just lined up obediently. The pain from the slave owner's stick on his body taught him to be obedient and obedient.

We are busy from noon to almost dusk, which is also the hottest time.

After passing one level after another, Ulti finally followed the person in front of him to a tall house.

Calling it a castle is inappropriate. It is completely different from the castle with towering walls and solid walls in Ulti's memory. This house only has one feature: it is big.

There was a man sitting in the pergola at the door, with a machete beside him. He looked young, but he was filled with murderous intent.

After seeing Ulti approaching, the other party extended his hand.

Ulti subconsciously handed the paper card in his hand to the other party. The other party did not say anything. He patted the paper card on the table, dipped a square seal into something soft, and then clicked it on the paper with a "bang" sound. On the card, leave a small red mark.

The paper card was handed back and Ulti subconsciously caught it.

The other party still didn't speak, and waved his hand, gesturing for Ulti to go inside.

After walking a few steps inside, Ulti soon discovered that the ground under his feet was sticky and soaked in water because he was barefoot all the time.

Seeing someone in front of him, Ulti knew where his next target was, so he quickened his pace and walked over. When he got closer, he discovered that there was a door in front of him.He handed over the paper card in his hand respectfully. He knew how important this paper card was without anyone explaining it.

The other party took the paper card and took a look at it. He didn't know if he could see anything on it, just a series of numbers, a few stamps stamped with red seals, etc.

The paper card was returned, but the other party still said nothing and pointed to the door.

Ulti opened the door and walked in.

It was so humid that the water dripped out.

Then I saw a figure with a bare buttocks and wet body walking out and walking towards the small lighted door at the other end, as if there was something called "New Life" over there.

Only then did he notice that after pushing the door open, there was a row of doors behind it. People kept going in, making loud noises of pain, and then came out with their buttocks naked.

Finally someone spoke to him.

"Throw your clothes in the bucket over there," the other party said without raising his head, "Put your ID in the frame at the door, go in, and then come out."

"Yes!" Ulti responded quickly. At this moment, he probably figured out that he wanted to take a shower.

After taking off his clothes and throwing them into the pit, he took the "certificate" paper card and walked to an open door. After putting the card in, Ulti opened the door and walked in.

Unexpectedly, it was a long and narrow room, only wide enough to accommodate four or five people side by side, but it was more than ten steps away, and there was a shirtless and muscular man in the very end.

"close the door"

Hearing the other party's words, Ulti closed the door obediently, and saw the strong man grabbing a pipe as thick as his arms with both hands and pointing it at Ulti.

I have a bad feeling in my heart.

boom!
The water column stretched like an iron rod and hit Ulti's chest hard. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Ah!" He couldn't help but scream.

I finally understood why the others screamed. Who could bear to be sprayed with such terrifying water?

His body swayed and turned several times, and Ulti only felt pain, very painful, and his legs were so weak that he could not stand firmly.

After going out, he took the paper card and moved forward, but he was careful to avoid getting the words wet with his hands, so he pinched the card vertically.

He could finally walk towards the lighted door with his butt naked. It looked very small from a distance, but when he walked in, he realized that it was so tall, as if he had been swallowed up by the light.

I exchanged the card for a new set of clothes.

Nothing fancy, made of linen, but very comfortable to wear and even had a pair of shoes.

Then there are teams, large teams, and small teams.

Then there are dormitories.

Everyone is wearing the same clothes, and at a glance, it's like being plunged into a sea of ​​burlap. Except for the colorful hair rolling like waves, you can't find any difference.

The small groups gathered in front of the large group, and the large group formed a square formation again.

What Ulti did was just follow the person in front of him, identify his team leader, and keep moving forward.

Until we stopped in front of another tall house, there was still a smell of fragrance wafting out. Are you ready to eat?

A soldier with a loud voice was holding a sword and shouting loudly. Because Ulti's team was in the first row, he clearly saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed long-horned hat and a robe using a cane in his hand. Just a little softer, and then the soldier's voice suddenly increased in volume, so loud that it hurt his ears when he was closer.

"Everyone, if you have any questions, please go to your squad leader. After the squad leader collects the questions, he will report to the captain. The captain will come back to me!"

He took a breath: "If there is a problem, I will only trouble your captain. As for how the captain will deal with the squad leader, and how the squad leader will deal with you, I won't care!"

The people who had become accustomed to being slaves did not make too much noise, even though there were nearly ten thousand people at the scene.

"Next, go to the canteen to get food and eat. Wait in line! Be quiet! Whoever dares to disobey the rules will have no food in their team! Captain, come to me to receive the whip!"

I can really eat!

Ulti was excited. After all the torture, he was so hungry that his chest was touching his back.

There were people beside him who were even more excited, making a lot of noise, and the team formation that was barely maintained was noisy.

Then the soldier raised his whip: "Third Brigade! Fourth Brigade! Captain, get over here!"

The whip was not child's play, it was really whipping, but I could see the aggrieved look on the elected captain's face.

So the captain, who had been whipped, awkwardly picked up the whip and said, "Small captain, get over here!"

Layer by layer, the captain received two or three lashes, and the squad leader received more than a dozen lashes. When it came to the group of people who made the noise, the excitement on their faces was gone, and only fear remained.

The squad leader who was whipped didn't count, he whipped him hard as if to vent his anger.

The people were beaten to a bloody pulp, and two of them fell to the ground motionless and fainted. It was unclear whether they could survive. In the words of the scolding squad leaders: "Even if you survive today, don't even think about having a good life in the future." Live your life.”

It was also at this time that everyone, including Ulti, remembered that he was still a slave, and their minds that had changed due to this period of life immediately came to their senses.

But those had nothing to do with Ulti. He was queuing up in the canteen to eat, and it was the first time he saw this way of eating.

A row of windows and then a plate in hand.

Go to the first one and the person inside will hold out a spoon and give you a spoonful of food.

At the second one, a piece of black bread will come out.

The third one will give soup.

Because multiple teams came in at the same time, all dishes were served at the same time.

Having learned from the experience of dozens of people before, they seemed to be very quiet while eating, and some even deliberately slowed down their chewing sounds for fear of being caught and beaten half to death by the squad leader who stared at them with red eyes.

But the excitement in everyone's eyes cannot be hidden. Although it is very strict, there is food and drink.

What a fairy day.

Following the team back to the dormitory, I found a bed of my own and slept.

It was like this for the next few days. I got up in line every day and didn't let them work. Instead, I told them to follow the rules.

About five days later, the second batch of selections began.

"Is there anyone who knows how to read?" the team leader asked, "It's okay if you know some skills. Let me tell you, this is a good opportunity to be one step ahead."

Looking at his team mates who were shaking their heads, Ulti raised his hand: "I will give Matthew hoofs, captain!"
