"My people have already contacted others, and someone will definitely come to rescue us soon."
We must persevere. I won't run away alone. Now that we're here, it's fate that brought us together.
"I'm going to take you all with me when we escape."
Ouyang Zhenyu's answer was resolute, his eyes filled with determination. In his previous life, he had always been a gentle and kind person, even after experiencing so much and so much betrayal.
However, one cannot change a person's temperament.
Everything he has in this life could turn his life around, but he could never be a heartless, selfish, or self-centered person.
If he could have lived his past life, he wouldn't have been such a coward, bullied to that extent.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the eyes of the three men lit up, while the man in his thirties who had spoken earlier shook his head.
"Brother, it's no use no matter how many more people come. They have guns and weapons."
You haven't seen how vicious and ruthless these people are. They really dare to kill, even if you only bring a hundred or two hundred men.
Even if you're unarmed, you'll die at their hands.
The other two nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, brother, you should tell your brother to hurry up and find a way to get you out of here."
This place is unsafe to stay in, and these people are clearly going all out; they're not like ordinary people like us.
"These people are really capable of killing."
We stopped believing their claims that they would let us make money and that we could leave after six months.
So many people have died here; they don't value human life at all.
Ouyang Zhenyu could tell from their words that these people looked ashen-faced because they had no hope of escaping.
Now he's giving them hope.
"Don't be afraid, my brother will bring food and water in at night."
He secretly brought this water in last night; I had no choice but to hide it on my person.
We were lucky we weren't discovered just now.
The three men looked at the size of the bottle and broke out in a cold sweat. The fact that the foreman hadn't noticed was probably because he had been preoccupied with his own troubles these past few days.
This kid is quite the expert at hiding things.
However, just the fact that this guy's brother knows him is quite impressive; he managed to get the stuff in without anyone noticing.
"But we can't beat them."
Hearing this, you could tell that the crowd still had no confidence.
Ouyang Zhenyu said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, our men will bring guns this time. Who doesn't have a gun?"
However, we need to recover our health before they arrive. The way we look now is just as you said.
We're powerless to resist, but at least we need to have the strength to help my brothers coordinate from within and without, to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
The man in his thirties suddenly gritted his teeth and grabbed Ouyang Zhenyu's shoulder.
"Xiao Jiang, my surname is Chen, and they all call me Chen Laosan."
If you're really confident, I'll work with you.
The two people next to him were somewhat surprised.
"Third Brother, why did you act so impulsively?"
"I'm not acting on impulse; I just want to pave a way out for my family, even if it costs me my life."
I think of my wife and children, my family, my mother and me.
I can't just stand by and watch my son and I die here together.
If Xiao Jiang really has brothers coming to rescue them, I think we should really give it our all, even risk our lives, to leave a way out for the others.
If no one fights, we'll just be waiting to die here.
The other two fell silent, just then a roar came from outside the cave.
"What are you doing? Why is it so quiet inside? Do you want me to beat you up?"
Hearing footsteps, the four people hurriedly picked up their tools and started working amidst the clanging and banging sounds.
The other two were upset.
Even if their hands and feet are weak, they have to work as hard as they can, otherwise they won't see the sun rise tomorrow.
But it was obvious that they were exhausted and seeing stars after working for just two hours.
This is a consequence of prolonged hunger.
Just then, Ouyang Zhenyu stopped the three of them.
The food I pulled out of my pocket was a dark color, like dried food made from coarse grains.
It looks like a pancake but it's not quite a pancake; it does resemble a biscuit, but it's much thicker.
Ouyang Zhenyu exchanged another pack of compressed biscuits. What do points matter at this point?
Anyway, his system will definitely give him points as long as he saves someone.
Even if I don't get points, I'm determined to save these people.
Sometimes, one has to know what to do and what not to do.
If one were to back down at this point, worrying about their secret being discovered, then they would be unworthy of being called a human being.
Every man should stand tall and be upright.
He helped the soldiers come over; he was a soldier, and now he is a doctor who saves lives.
From any perspective, he cannot remain uninvolved, and no moral standard would allow him to stand idly by.
These ordinary people have the right to live.
The four of them each ate a cookie, and surprisingly, after finishing the cookies and drinking water, the other three of them felt bloated.
It actually gave me a feeling of being so full and uncomfortable.
They hadn't had a proper meal in so long, so how could they feel so full? Surprisingly, this feeling of fullness was so wonderful that it almost brought tears to their eyes.
It turns out that just one piece of bread was enough to fill them up.
But then everyone had the energy to work again, and with the compressed biscuit keeping them going, they worked until noon before being told to stop.
Actually, no one has time.
It was just what Ouyang Zhenyu considered noon.
It was only after Chen Laosan pointed it out that I realized they only had one meal a day.
This meal will likely be eaten around 2 PM.
Of course, if you're lucky and happen to be in a good mood, like when Brother Shan is in a good mood, he'll give them an extra meal every time he ships a large quantity.
Of course, the so-called extra meal doesn't mean eating an extra meal, but rather adding some dishes to their meals.
It's just some pickled vegetables; they've been without salt for so long that their hands and feet are weak.
It was only through three or four meals a month from this family that everyone was able to recover.
When they reached the outside of the cave, the overseer had already taken his food and left, leaving behind a tattered basket at the cave entrance.
The basket was so dirty that you couldn't even tell what it looked like.
There were eight steamed buns lying at the bottom of the basket, each about the size of a fist.
Two steamed buns together are hardly enough to fill the stomach of a man who does such heavy physical labor.
There was a bucket next to them, with about half a bucket of water in it, which must have been measured according to the number of people in their household. There were also four bowls next to it.
The edges of that large, coarse porcelain bowl were already broken and dilapidated.
It left you with nowhere to start eating.
