At dusk, the sun sets and the survivors in the safe zone go off work and rest.
Although many people complained about the eight-hour compulsory labor, it also greatly increased the productivity of the safety zone. More importantly, it facilitated the top-down order management of the safety zone.
As for the criminals in the underground mining areas, they are forced to do ten hours of physical labor, and at the same time, law enforcement officers armed with real guns and live ammunition conduct high-intensity patrols and supervision to provide sufficient deterrence.
Lu Zhen personally participated in the formulation and implementation of these management systems, but when the shackles of the systems he promoted were handcuffed to himself, he realized how heavy the shackles were.
The 70-year-old man was pushing the cart full of ore with all his strength, almost taking a break after every step. The dark underground mine was only illuminated by the dim light, which made Minister Lu, who was old and tired, feel his vision blurred. Sweat dripped down his wrinkles like gullies. The supervisor was urging him impatiently behind him...
Two days ago, he was lying in a soft and comfortable office, with people coming and going and bowing to him.
But now, this old man is just mining in this mine, becoming a laughing stock in the entire safe zone.
Damn Lin Ruolan! I have done so many things when I was in office, but you are punishing me for such a ridiculous reason!
Just wait for me! I will drag you down with me even if I die!
I just don't know if Xiaowan's child is okay. The old man has lived for hundreds of years. If this last bit of blood is cut off, how can he face his ancestors?
Alas! After all, those people were too mean to the child, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this.
Seeing this situation now, all kinds of past thoughts emerged in Lu Zhen's mind, and he finally let out a sad sigh.
Finally, after working hard for a long time, he walked back to the cold cell with his legs trembling and holding on to the wall, whimpering with every step.
The strong workers left him behind, and the law enforcement officers watched coldly and turned away.
Lu Zhen dragged his old body forward alone on the dim and gloomy road in the mining area.
Suddenly, I heard a vague sound, as if coming from the darkness in the distance.
"Where is this? Why did you bring me here?"
The voice sounded doubtful and a little panicked.
Lu Zhen took a deep breath and wondered why there were people hanging out in the mining area so late at night?
He slowly approached with his stiff old legs. This time the voice was closer and he recognized it as that of a young woman.
"It feels eerie and a little chilly here. Can you give me some clothes?"
"Ah! Don't hit me, it hurts so much, I'll just leave."
The woman's voice sounded familiar, but the servile tone was strange.
The sound was getting closer and closer, but when he looked into the depths of the darkness, he could not see a single person. Lu Zhen wondered if he was getting senile and confused.
"Is this an underground mine? Please speak up, I'm so panicked..."
The woman's voice was tearful, but Lu Zhen finally heard clearly that it was the voice of his daughter, Lu Wan.
But how is this possible!
Thinking back to the time when my daughter saw me being arrogant and hurling insults at me, she would always stare at me with disdain in her gorgeous cheongsam, sometimes even cursing, "Disgusting old thing, how cheap you are!"
Although the relationship between father and daughter was very strained, he believed that he had not heard wrongly. However, the tone of the crying voice made him feel uneasy and angry.
"Lü Wan! Is that you?"
The old man's calm and majestic voice echoed in the darkness, but the person in the darkness did not respond, only the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.
The young man's voice sounded, with a mocking tone.
"Why aren't you so cowardly when you're scolding people? Do you think you're a slut?"
Lu Wan's voice was full of relief, "I'm cheap! I'm cheap! Please don't go too far, I can't see anything, you can scold me however you want!"
Listening to his daughter's inappropriate speech, Lu Zhen was filled with nameless anger.
"Lü Wan! Do you know what you are talking about? Where are the moral principles I taught you since you were a child? Listen to your shameless words! Isn't it shameful?"
The old man's roar echoed throughout the mining area, but Lu Wan ignored it and did not show up in the darkness.
Bang!
A crisp slap sounded, followed by a man's voice, "Are you satisfied with this?"
"Satisfied, I'm a lowly bastard! I deserve to be beaten!" Lv Wan was like a wild dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy, speaking madly and without dignity, "It's so cool and quiet here, are you going to punish me here?"
Lu Zhen felt dizzy. He couldn't believe that his dignified and elegant daughter, whom he had carefully raised for more than twenty years, had become like this in just a few days. For a moment, his blood rushed to his head and he was a little breathless.
Fang Ming asked casually, "I heard your father is still doing hard labor here, aren't you afraid of bumping into him?"
