Chapter 251： Underground

This is the first time Kent has been in a mine. This place is really not a place for people.

He only came in for two or three minutes and felt very uncomfortable.

It smells, sultry, cramped, dark, depressed... Kent was stopped after passing through the tunnel last time. At that time, he only checked the safety problem near the checkpoint and failed to get into the mine. Today this This is the first time. I have to say that the environment here is really terrible.

The environment in the mine, to be honest, is completely incomparable with the shelter.

This is not about the Otto Refuge. The Otto Refuge is still on the surface. Of course, the environment on the surface and the underground is different. There is no doubt about this.

Kent used it as a comparison between this place and his own shelter.

Ankai Shelter is also underground, and it is also very deep. There are underground tunnels. Except for the observation deck on the top of the mountain, there are no other ground structures. From a certain perspective, it is the same as these mines. However, the environment of the two is worlds apart. The shelter is clean and hygienic, with fresh air and suitable temperature. And here? I won’t say anything about dirty, messy, bad air, just a high temperature is unbearable. Not to mention that there are no serious lights here. Kent went all the way down, but occasionally saw a small yellow light above his head, flickering and flickering, which proved that the power supply was very unstable.

And here is the stuffy and humid type, not simply heat, but sultry.

This is even more uncomfortable. It's like taking a sauna. In fact, there is no heating equipment here. The so-called sultry heat is completely caused by the lack of air circulation.

Therefore, once there is a danger in this place, the power of the explosion is much higher than that on the ground, and people living in the underground have very poor ability to resist danger. If you are not careful, you may become a piece of it. Die.

It's no wonder that when Otto Asylum said that he wanted to recruit people to the front line to sell his lives, so many adult men agreed to go.

Not for the family or anything, just being away from this place is enough to make people rush.

Yes, you may die when you go to the front line. It's better than continuing to suffer in this place.

Actually, people are dying every day here. Those who have the courage to commit suicide have already committed suicide, and the rest are people who have the courage to commit suicide.

Suicide is not a simple matter. It is not just a matter of words. Most people actually don't have the courage to commit suicide at all. They can only continue to live in this mine humblely and linger.

At this time, Otto gave them a chance to leave here and return to the ground, even if it was more dangerous, they couldn't stop these people. After all, going to the front does not mean that you will die, maybe you will survive? All you need is the opportunity to get rid of the current environment. Otto gave the opportunity, and naturally a large number of people responded, which is normal.

Kent walked in the mine step by step, took the flashlight from his belt, and started to use the flashlight to illuminate.

The light above his head is too bad, flashing and flashing, and the flashing person is dizzy.

Moreover, there is a saying that the smell of this place is too much and it makes people dizzy. Kent is not a squeamish person. He has been in and out of dangerous places many times and has suffered a lot, but if it is possible, he will not Stupid enough to bear the smell under the mine tunnel.

To be honest, the environment of this place is really worse than that of the sewer.

In the case of the sewer, the waste water inside is still flowing, and the sewer is also ventilated, otherwise the gas would explode long ago. But the mine is different. The ventilation here is very poor, and the excrement is only treated in a few places. In fact, most people don't bother to go to those places and just find a corner to deal with it.

Therefore, the smell in the mine is really to the extent that one scent can kill people.

Kent frowned and went all the way forward. At first he paid attention to his feet, taking care not to step on the "mines".

But no matter how careful he was, considering the environment here, he accidentally stepped on it several times.

In the end, he didn't bother to hide, so he could just throw away his shoes when he went back, and it wouldn't be a big deal to change to a new pair of shoes.

The mine is very deep, and no one knows exactly where it extends.

In fact, when he first learned about the situation here, Kent still wondered why these people didn't run? No matter how powerful the Otto Refuge is, it is impossible to seal all the mines underground in this city. These "coolies" are kept here, and no one is personally watching them on weekdays, as long as you find a mine that has not been blocked. Dao, can't everyone run away?

But later he wanted to understand.

It's not that these people don't want to run, but that they have nowhere to run.

After they were caught, everything on their bodies was searched.

Food, medicine, water, weapons, ammunition, and even clothes are only left barely enough to cover private parts. In this case, where can these people go even if they want to run?

They have no food or water, and they will die of starvation and thirst in a short time. Without medicine, you will die if you are slightly injured or sick. Without weapons and ammunition, the result of encountering zombies is not much better, not to mention the complicated terrain in the mine, and if you run wildly, you will still die. Without clothing to cover the body, the radiation dust outside is a deadly toxin.

Although staying here does not live like a person, at least he can still live. If he just runs away, even if he is not captured, he will still die in the end.

This situation is different from the kind of going to the front with a gun.

Those men who were sent to the front line, the first thing after leaving the mine is to wash and rest. There are enough food and clean clothes waiting for them. Other than that, at least they can enjoy the humans before they die. Life. And these people have family members in the mine, and if they come out to sell their lives, the family members will be able to leave the mine, which is also a good thing. What's more, going to the front line is not certain to die, everyone still has a chance to come back alive.

So the choice for these "coolies" is very simple.

Either just linger and live like this, or go to the front line to die for a lifetime, but no matter which choice it is, it is better than running away quietly and without life.

In fact, there were many people who escaped quietly at first, but as Otto caught more and more people, the number of miners gradually increased, and as the scope of exploration became larger and larger, the bodies of those who escaped in the early days were gradually destroyed. Find it, which completely eliminates the idea of ​​these people running away.

Whatever you say, it's better to die than to live.

This reality is really helpless and desperate.

Kent shook his head, and after another turn, he finally came to a larger space.

The light here is a little better, and he finally saw these miners who no longer looked like people.

This is an artificially excavated underground cavity. It is about five meters high. It is supported by various messy columns and beams. Below are a circle of beds, densely packed, looking like insect eggs. , Messy, but densely packed together. At this moment, most of the miners are resting. The place where they eat is right here, and the place where they sleep is also here. It is the people above who deliver the food every day. If you throw the food here, you don’t care. As for this It doesn't matter how the people are allocated internally, and who can eat and who can't be full at that time, the people above do not care.

It is also due to the fact that the following people are more or less united, and there is no excessive bullying, otherwise they will starve to death many talents.

But it’s no wonder that the above is for the following tasks, such as how much ore must be in each month, or what goals must be achieved, etc., unless it is a force majeure factor, otherwise it is only due to the bullying within the miners that leads to a reduction in production. If they do, their lives will definitely be even more sad...No one is a fool, they naturally know how to choose the path that is most suitable for them.

Kent walked into the "hall" and instantly attracted the attention of a few people who were still awake.

They looked at Kent faintly, their eyes were very strange, like hunters looking at their prey, and like ghosts looking at people.

People who fell asleep didn’t know how they were awakened. In just a few minutes, more than 80% of the hundreds of people woke up like this. Some were lying, some were sitting, and some were standing. , Some people are lying on their stomachs, all looking at Kent without exception. To be honest, if Kent hadn't claimed to have a big heart, this scene alone could scare people to death.

He emboldened himself in his heart, step by step, step by step.

"My name is Kent."

He introduced himself like that.

"I just joined the shelter not long ago, and I am responsible for setting up a fire brigade to eliminate all hidden dangers in the shelter. I have filed an application before and wanted to take a look, but it was not approved... So I got down by myself."

"……"

Kent's words floated in the hall, and everyone looked at him blankly, although they were alive, they seemed to be dead.

However, he fell to the ground with his voice.

A small part of these people suddenly changed their expressions.

If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell them at all. If you look at the changes in muscle movements and facial features, they have hardly changed. Even the top micro-expression interpreters will find it difficult to interpret anything. . But their eyes changed, and a trace of vitality suddenly appeared in the dead silence.

"The inside of the shelter is quite dangerous. After all, there are various hidden dangers that we can't think of. You should pay more attention to it. Otherwise, there will be an accident, and you will not be able to run away if you want to run."

Kent said seemingly casual, but he added a little bit of tone to a few of the words.

In the next second, a man who seemed to be quite young stood up.

"Kent... Captain, please point us, we hope to have... a safe life."

"It's easy..."

Kent smiled.

Then, under the leadership of this man, he walked briefly in the mine, focusing on patrolling a few places that might have hidden dangers.

In fact, under the protection of modern technology, the safety in the formal mine has been greatly improved, and there will be no problems easily.

But don’t forget, this is not a formal mine. This is the black mine of the Otto Refuge. They even let the miners eat here, sleep here, and live here, and let the miners make their own decisions. How could there be no safety hazard.

Kent just turned around a little bit, and he felt shocking. However, there is a saying that he can't do anything now.

He can only watch, and then make some suggestions.

For example, "find the flammable and explosive things to bury them in a safe place." The implication is to hide those things that may cause damage.

For another example, "Everyone should live in a place far away from danger." The implication is to let them move closer to the exit.

For example, "Once you find something wrong, you must report to it in time, don't ignore it and numb your life." Doesn't it mean that you have to pay attention to the above movements at all times and rush out at the right time?

Those who can understand will naturally know what to do.

Kent turned around and left the mine.

This time he came down, his main task was to establish contact with the miners. Of course, he did not start at this time. The physical fitness of these miners was worrisome. Before the massive losses in the Otto Sanctuary, letting them get involved was actually sending them to death. Of course, Kent Not that stupid.

After leaving the mine, Kent went straight back to his residence. When leaving the mine, no one stopped him, and no one asked him, including the combatants in the mine.

In fact, even reporting upward is useless, because all the strength of the Otto Sanctuary has recently been on the foreign war, and Durut’s, and Faman’s, and the enemies that may emerge, the sanctuary’s The strength is severely lacking, and there is a lot of work to be done. Otto is very busy every day. Even if someone really reports Kent's movements, it is estimated that he will not have time to intervene.

Hmm... That is not accurate.

If Kent's situation really let Otto know, Otto will definitely intervene, and the meager trust in Kent before, I am afraid that it will collapse in an instant.

Although the mine is not as important as the drug research and production center, once the hundreds of miners below riot, the result is unimaginable.

But the problem is here.

The low-level combatantsWhere would they think about so many issues? They just stay in their posts mechanically day after day. They are completely toothpaste. If someone pushes it, they move it, no one pushes it. move.

I hope they will be able to report Kent's situation subjectively.

In today’s Otto Sanctuary, most of the middle and lower-level cadres have been sent out, and the rest also have other important responsibilities. The whole sanctuary is full of rumors, and there is no time to notice this kind of one or two people. Problem. Of course the most important thing is that Kent has already proven his loyalty with practical actions before, so as long as he is not doing too much, no one will notice him.

So he cares, Kent quietly completed the contact with the miners without everyone knowing.

Although I still can't do anything at present, it doesn't matter, as long as I can get in touch, and I can be sure that the miners really have some courage, that's enough.

One more thing. Recently, the situation outside has changed again.

First of all, between the two sides and the Durut Sanctuary, the two sides have formally started war, at the junction, they are completely mixed together, and people die almost every day.

On the other side, the Farman Sanctuary, located to the east of the sanctuary, suddenly moved after a few days of silence. All of a sudden, he crossed the borderless zone in the middle, and entered directly into the territory of Odo Sanctuary.
