Chapter 140 Preparation
That day outside Seaglass, the two struggled to resist the orcs' artillery fire, and finally both fell to the ground under a cannonball.
Fortunately, the shell fragments did not hit the two of them, and they were just knocked unconscious by the shock wave.
Unfortunately, the orcs discovered that they were still alive, so they escorted them back to the camp, and exchanged a few big teeth from the whip boy as a reward.
And that's how they got here.
After listening to Anne's soft description, Joseph only felt that the shame and shame in his heart became heavier and heavier.
They worked as slaves under the hands of the Farts. Seeing those ugly, smelly, obscene creatures showing off their power in front of them, Joseph only felt that their human dignity had been severely trampled on.
The mine was actually a factory area set up in the wasteland. It contained a lot of excavation equipment and storage. This place was lost during the orc attack.
After being occupied and transformed by the orcs, they turned these huge ruined factories into mines. Anyway, for the orcs, there is not much difference between mining ore and iron plate. Occasionally digging out some engineering vehicles is the biggest surprise for the orcs.
Heavy labor, dangerous and dark environment, these are not as big a threat to them as the orcs.
Those orcs only seemed to be able to talk and reason, but their essential moral logic was completely opposite to that of humans. Joseph was not prepared to learn from the nobles or bow to the orcs, but was secretly preparing for a fight.
Even if he dies, he must die on the way to charge.
His loud-voiced sergeant kept saying this. Joseph didn't see him in the camp, so he probably returned to the Golden Throne.
Every day more human slaves are brought in, and more human slaves die in the mines.
He fell because the ground was slippery and fell on an irregular piece of metal.
He died because his shoes were worn out and the wound on his foot became infected.
The condensation pipes or isotope storage tanks in a factory ruins were excavated and killed on the spot by lethal industrial materials.
And those who were dragged to the kitchen by the orcs to improve the food.
This is intolerable to any human being who still has the will to resist.
The viciousness of human factory owners is motivated by the desire to gain more profits.
The orcs are unaware of their viciousness. The orcs even think that they are good enough to these shrimps, and you should be grateful.
Silently, he cut off a piece of mushroom and threw it into the hot water purified by the water purification tablets.
The water jar was excavated by Joseph while working, and the water purification tablets were items he carried with him and were not taken away by the rough orcs.
Although these mushrooms grow from cracks in walls and various places, they taste as chewy as leather shoes and smell like dishwater.
But it is indeed a safe food that the slaves in the camp can fill their stomachs without worrying about being poisoned by other things.
During these months of slave life, Joseph saw many poor people who were poisoned to death.
Silently taking the jar off the high-heat pipe, the pipe was well sealed and insulated. Even if the factory had been shut down for such a long time, Joseph could still feel its scorching heat from afar.
"Come and have a bite."
"Thank you." Annie took the jar, blew it with her mouth, and sipped the hot mushroom soup in small sips. The taste was really strange. Even after eating it for so long, she would not get used to this taste.
Scratching her tongue with her teeth, Annie's facial features were squeezed together in disgust.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, the slaves should have conserved their energy, rested, and hoped that they would not be dragged away by the orcs the next day.
But Joseph had something to say tonight.
"Brothers." With a simple greeting, the people squatting around the high-heating tube looked at Joseph.
These people all had bald heads, although they were not cleanly shaved, and some of them had new hair growing on their heads, which looked untidy and bumpy.
Even if Annie's hair has been shaved off, there is no chance for her to wash your hair here. Keeping her hair is just a nest for some parasites on her body that are full of radioactive elements and germs.
"I found the portable communication device originally set up in the factory. After a simple charge, we can hear the news from the army."
"This is really great. Doesn't it mean that we are getting closer to the day of struggle."
Joseph nodded, "That's right. Although we can't contact the defense forces due to damage to the output device, we can hear some reports from them about the offensive layout."
"I heard Imperial reinforcements arriving."
Everyone's thin faces became obviously happy, and everyone could realize the concept of the Empire's reinforcements coming.
Unlike other small slave gathering areas, the slaves surrounding Joseph are all surviving soldiers, and they also have a basic sense of combat.
"This means that the Imperial Army will quickly launch a counterattack, and we will be saved."
Joseph raised his hand, interrupting the other cheers, "No, soldiers. We can't expect rescue from the Imperial Army. They may not know we are here."
The atmosphere turned cold, and these soldiers realized that they were the missing persons on the list first, the survivors of the fall of Seaglass Hive, and the humiliated ones captured by the orcs, but they were not themselves.
And who would have known that there would be a profession like slave owner among the orcs? They were all prepared to die in battle or be eaten by the orcs, rather than digging up garbage for the orcs.
"Then, what should we do?"
"We must fight and resist. We must let the empire know that there is a group of loyal soldiers who are resisting stubbornly deep in the orc camp."
"If we talk about the issue of resistance, we have to talk about the current personnel issues and weapons reserves." Anne spoke aside. The long life of slavery made this somewhat cowardly temporary conscript become stronger and sharper.
"We have developed resistance members in various slave gathering areas. They are also willing to cooperate with our work and are ready to fight at any time. They have lost their property or relatives in the orc attack." "We have also recovered a lot of iron pieces in this factory area, which can barely be used as daggers, and there are some undamaged blowtorches. If we really have to fight, we can only fight with the orcs for a long time." Joseph closed his eyes and thought for a while, "I think we can fight with the orcs. In the past few months of observation, the orcs supervised by our field have not seen guns. They are basically equipped with whips and animal pliers." "That's right." A soldier agreed with Joseph's statement, "According to reports from other camps, there are only orcs guarding the outer gate of the industrial zone and a maintenance station to our northwest." Maintenance station. Joseph frowned, and he also thought of the maintenance station space with the most slaves to maintain it. Almost all human slaves will be sent to that place to work. When the needs of the maintenance station are met, the remaining slaves will be sent to various places in the industrial zone mine. According to the orcs: Although the shrimps are stupid, they work more carefully than the little ones. As long as you hold the whip well, they will be obedient.
"Get ready first. Wait for the day when the imperial artillery fire comes."
