Chapter 238: As long as everyone unites

"As long as you fill up these cargo boxes, you will get food. As for the old people, you can take care of the newcomers and teach them the rules..."

At the bottom of the empty volcanic crater, the sound of the horn echoed in everyone's ears.

When the survivor who was sent here last night heard that there was no food, he panicked instantly, "I haven't eaten for several days, and I don't have the strength to work."

"Yes, I haven't eaten for several days either." Even though everyone was a little confused, they didn't dare to speak out loudly and could only talk to each other in a low voice.

Although they were captured by force last night, they remembered the bloody methods used by those people deeply.

Resistance was impossible, and everyone looked at the old men whose bodies were corroded.

These people all had more or less corrosion scars from the volcanic ash, and their eyes were numb as they looked at these new survivors.

"Start working after you've asked clearly. You'll gradually understand the rules here," the man on the loudspeaker said vaguely, as if he was eating something.

The chewing sound reached everyone's ears through the loudspeaker, and they immediately felt even hungrier.

"What did that person mean just now? What are the rules here? Can anyone tell me?"

A middle-aged man stood up and asked. He was also brought here last night.

At this time, he had resigned himself to his fate and carried his own backpack on his back, holding a small iron shovel in his hand.

The elevators also stopped operating, and a total of more than sixty black cargo boxes were parked not far from them.

"Ahem..." A woman dressed in black and whose age could not be determined walked over.

Her clothes were covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, as if she was wearing volcanic ash on her body.

She covered her mouth with her right hand and started coughing violently after walking a few steps, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

At this moment, everyone focused their attention on her.

The woman also had corrosive injuries from the volcanic ash, but the most serious was on her right hand.

There were only bones left at three knuckles, with no flesh left on them, and the bones were pitch black.

"The rule here is that as long as you can fill up those black cargo boxes with the ore you mine every day, you can get food."

"If the cargo box is not full, you won't get any food. Don't even think about running away. You can't escape..."

As the woman spoke, she looked up at the white clouds in the sky. Since coming here, she felt like a frog.

The sky seemed to be only as big as a crater. She hadn't been out for a long time and didn't know if she would have the chance to go out again in this lifetime.

I guess the chance of dying in here is higher.

After the woman finished speaking, everyone looked towards the black cargo boxes, with disbelief in their eyes.

"You are kidding me, right? All these boxes are filled in one day. Are you treating us like animals?"

At this moment, realizing that there were no staff members here, everyone started to behave as they did before.

They had just roughly counted and found that there were more than sixty cargo boxes in total, but there were less than three hundred survivors from the mining.

It would take a lot of work to fill up a box.

Moreover, there was no protection during the mining, although the parts on their bodies are still intact now.

But the conditions of those elderly people remind them all the time that these people's today will be their tomorrow.

"What the hell is this place? I want to get out of here. I want to leave."

"Fuck her, you want me to mine for you? That's a nice thought."

"That's right. How many of them are outside? We have more than 200 of us. As long as we unite, it won't be difficult for us to get out."

Everyone protested at once, as if they were not the ones who were terrified last night.

"Yes, there are more than 200 of us. Let's unite and fight them. I don't believe we can't get out."

The few people who shouted the loudest immediately gathered together.

"It's no use. I advise you to be quiet, or you'll be made an example of by the higher-ups."

The woman covered her mouth and coughed, and finally reminded a few people.

"It is because you have this kind of thinking and you accept everything that happens that you are stuck here and cannot leave."

"I said, we have more than 200 people. As long as everyone unites...", the man said encouraging words.

But except for the survivors who were captured last night, the rest of the old people didn't even pay attention to him.

Holding the backpacks, they turned and walked into the dark tunnels on the wall.

Xiang Yu had already entered the tunnels carrying a backpack. She had done mining before, so she was of course familiar with it.

After careful observation, she found that there were a total of sixteen cameras at the bottom of the volcanic crater, all of which were set up near the cargo boxes.

This is to observe whether the survivors are lazy when mining, but there are no cameras in the tunnels on the walls.
