Chapter 213: Fatten the Pigs and Kill Them
The single dormitory is a coffin room, and the security system is to prevent people from escaping. So the so-called free entry into the base... is because once you enter a private base, everything you bring in, including yourself, becomes the private property of the base.
Since they are all from the base, there is no need to go through the further process of handing them over. Just confiscated them all directly.
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a long time, "How can this be a private base? This is clearly a prison!"
"That's right!" Wang Shijin said with a smile, "This is a prison. People who are tricked into going there need to work 16 hours a day. There is no time to rest except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet."
Xia Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously, "How do you know so much? Is this private base official..."
"Tsk, what nonsense are you imagining?" Wang Shijin gave her a look of disdain. "A private base suddenly appeared. How could the higher-ups not send someone to investigate what's going on?"
"I heard from my captain that on the first day the private base was opened, the higher-ups sent two undercover agents in to investigate the situation. The guards were very strict, and the two sisters who went in farmed for a month before they escaped and reported the situation of the base to the higher-ups."
"You've been planting the land for a month?" Xia Xiaoman looked surprised.
Wang Shijin hummed, "Yes! In addition to farming, the people who go in may also be assigned to process steel-toothed rabbit meat and jaguars, or to tan leather, ferment fertilizer, and make down jackets. Anyway, there is no rest throughout the day, either working or on the way to work. I heard that when the two sisters escaped, they were all very thin."
Xia Xiaoman blinked and said, "This base is not bad. It just enslaves people and doesn't kill innocent people." Compared to those murderers and robbers, private bases at least have some bottom line.
Wang Shijin nodded in agreement, "It is because they don't kill people indiscriminately that the higher-ups don't plan to touch the private base for the time being."
Xia Xiaoman raised an eyebrow, "I'm not going to take any action for now, does that mean we're going to take action against the base in the future?"
Wang Shijin smiled and said nothing.
Officials need to pay a commission to hire people, and they dare not enslave them too harshly for fear of causing public outrage. Private bases not only do not pay commissions, but also seize all their supplies. They work 16 hours a day, and if they are lazy, they will be beaten.
In comparison, the amount of work done by one person at a private base is equivalent to that done by three people employed officially.
The private base tricked these people in and asked them to farm and make leather clothes. Over time, the private base would definitely accumulate a large amount of supplies.
If the authorities step in to rescue the deceived people at this time, they can not only obtain a large amount of supplies, destroy the private base, but also gain a good reputation. Why not do it?
Moreover, they have already sent people to investigate, and they know that private bases will not kill people easily unless someone disobeys arrangements and insists on seeking death.
Since there won't be a large number of casualties, and it will just make these deceived people suffer a little, what's the difference between rescuing them earlier or later?
To put it bluntly, the authorities want to fatten the piglets before killing them.
However, Wang Shijin would not say this to Xia Xiaoman. After all, he is still a regular staff member now, and he cannot say anything that is detrimental to the army or the official.
"Don't spread the private base I just told you about! This matter is confidential and cannot be spread."
Xia Xiaoman glanced at him and said, "I'm the only one within a ten-mile radius of my home. Who do you think I can tell this to?"
Wang Shijin: “…”
…
The first group of people who entered the private base have not come out yet.
Some people speculated that the living environment of the private base was too good and those people were reluctant to leave. But more people speculated that there was something wrong with the private base and the first batch of people who entered the base might have been killed.
Just when everyone was talking about this, the private base sent out a message that the base was almost full and there were only 60 places left, which were on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the number of places was full, no one would be accepted.
This is the mentality of most people. When something can be easily obtained, no one will cherish it, and some people may even suspect that there is some trap involved.
But if the number of places is limited, they will rush to grab a place, for fear of missing out on this bargain.
But all this has nothing to do with Xia Xiaoman. She is taking Maodan to ambush the skuas.
Maodan has been tired of catching steel-toothed rabbits recently. I don’t know if he remembered the miserable experience of being chased by a skua last time, so he prepared to ambush the skua to take revenge.
It held a steel-toothed rabbit in its mouth, carried the rabbit to an open area, and then immediately let it go, allowing the steel-toothed rabbit to escape.
When the skua saw the steel-toothed rabbit jumping around in the open space, it swooped down without hesitation. At this moment, Maodan ran out with a quick step, jumped into the air and bit the skua's neck.
The skua was frightened and kept flapping its wings and kicking its claws. Its sharp claws instantly tore the down jacket on Maodan's body, but it still refused to let go until the skua stopped moving, then it opened its bloody mouth.
Xia Xiaoman walked over and picked up the Jaguar. He looked down at Maodan and said unhappily, "You prodigal son, you ruined such good clothes."
Maodan, who had avenged himself, grinned excitedly, not taking Xia Xiaoman's words to heart at all. He even raised his paw to signal Xia Xiaoman to take the skua home, as he wanted to eat it in the evening.
Suddenly, the sound of long cries of skuas came from the sky, and Xia Xiaoman and Maodan were attracted by the sound.
I saw a group of skuas gathered together in the sky not far away for some reason. From time to time, one or two skuas would swoop down and then fly back into the sky, as if they were attacking something.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the roar of cars. The next second, four or five snowmobiles appeared from the corner of the street and drove into the villa area in a panic.
When Xia Xiaoman saw this, his face changed drastically and he ran home, not forgetting to call Maodan while running.
Maodan was very interested in the group of people driving snowmobiles, and even more interested in his enemy, the skuas. But his intuition told him that he couldn't win against so many people and so many skuas, so he followed Xia Xiaoman very sensibly.
However, the group of people driving the snowmobiles had no idea at all. When they saw Xia Xiaoman and Maodan, they drove straight towards them.
Xia Xiaoman ran and cursed, what are these sons without buttholes trying to do? Are they trying to divert the trouble?
Seeing those people getting closer, Xia Xiaoman took out a flare from his pocket and fired it at the leading convoy.
The red high-temperature flare instantly lit up in the darkness. The leading car saw the flare flying over and slammed on the brakes in panic.
The leading snowmobile overturned due to emergency braking at high speed, and the vehicles behind him were also disrupted by him.
