Chapter 230: Valley of Desire
Chapter 230: Valley of Desire
After leaving the stone temple, the sea anemone rushed straight to the shore.
Looking at the pipe that was emitting a large amount of magic power, the anemone shrank its body and drilled in.
The polluted magic along the way was absorbed by it and became nutrients for its growth.
Soon, it went through the pipe and into a factory.
Inside the factory, workers work in a dusty environment, pouring baskets of raw materials into the feed port, which are then processed by a magic machine.
A large amount of clean water is transmitted in and then polluted and discharged as sewage.
More senior workers sit next to the conveyor belts and further process the raw materials produced.
The reprocessed products will be sent to different more advanced workshops for higher processing according to their quality.
However, the anemone is not interested in this. It only cares about the active pregnant bodies moving around above.
It has no hatred towards these factories. It simply thinks that they are part of the natural environment, just like an underwater volcano that suddenly erupts.
So its pure desire is also very simple, which is to continue the race.
The tentacles on the head began to grow and quietly spread out of the pipe.
Just as a worker was walking through the passage, the tentacles brushed against the worker's exposed ankle with lightning speed.
It was moving very fast, and its tentacles seemed to carry some special paralyzing toxin. The worker didn't notice anything unusual and went to work as usual.
What he didn't know was that a larva as thin as a hair had already passed through his pores and entered his body.
What happens first must happen second. The anemone quickly completed its parasitism on the workers and slipped back to the seabed through the pipe. Its seeds had been used up, so it had to produce another batch.
Shortly after it left, a black figure appeared in the industrial plant area.
Looking at the thick smoke and sewage rising into the sky, Ash couldn't help but frown. If it had happened in his previous life, if someone dared to discharge pollution so recklessly, they would have been closed down the next day.
But unfortunately, this is a different world, and it is still in the early stages of industrial development. The early stages of industrial development on both sides are almost the same.
Ash shook his head and didn't care. This was the growing pains of the times and it was unavoidable without more advanced technology.
He took out the recording crystal and started recording, and at the same time used his [Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils] to start dismantling those magic machines, and began to learn openly.
While studying, Ash also took a quick look at the physical condition of the workers.
As expected, the workers' physical condition was quite bad, with pneumoconiosis, lumbar disc herniation, chronic poisoning, and even parasites.
Under such circumstances, if these workers can live to be fifty or sixty, they are considered to have good physiques as people from other worlds.
But what can Ash do? This country does not have the conditions for rebellion like the Nordel Empire.
The policies of the Kingdom of Ogar are relatively good. At least they are willing to give these civilians some food to drink. As for the common people, they will only rebel if they can no longer survive.
With clear soup to drink, the civilians would not starve to death, and at least they were generally becoming richer.
Unless the Kingdom of Ogar reaches a bottleneck and the nobles and factory owners begin to turn around and exploit the common people, rebellion will never happen among the common people.
But from Ash's perspective, it will take another 10 to 20 years for the Kingdom of Ogar to reach its bottleneck. If it starts to launch foreign wars in the meantime, it can continue for another 10 to 20 years, of course, if it does not lose the war.
Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell rang throughout the industrial area, and the workers began to clock out one by one.
Dragging his tired body, the young worker Bob returned to his small home.
And his new wife Lina had already prepared dinner for him.
Dinner was a basket of boiled potatoes, a plate of fried beans and a bowl of pig chowder with a hint of oil.
After sharing potatoes and chowder with his wife, Bob took a sip of the loose wine he had bought and threw a crisp oil bean into his mouth. Crunch!
The oil beans made a pleasant crisp sound as Bob's teeth ground them. He drank and ate the beans while watching his wife wash the dishes.
The more he looked at her, the more he felt that his wife was particularly attractive tonight.
Bob felt himself getting hot.
Putting the wine glass on the table, Bob walked towards his wife, put his arms around her waist, and couldn't wait to kiss her with his big mouth.
"Stop it, I'm still washing the dishes." Lina twisted her body and said coquettishly.
The twisting of her body made Bob even more excited. He panted and said, "What's the matter? I'll wash it later."
As he spoke, his hands were already impatient.
"Well, I really can't stand you!" Lina didn't know why she was particularly emotional today. She gave a tender scolding and gave in to Bob.
Soon, the chorus of life rang out in the small kitchen.
What they didn't know was that a soft tentacle was retracted from somewhere and began to concentrate on absorbing the newly born Slaanesh energy.
The next day, Bob, who had been tired all night, continued to go to work in the factory. The anemone also went into another factory and began to plant seeds.
By the time Ash came out of his dream and continued to learn secretly in the factory, Anemone had already left.
It was because when Ash came out of his dream, it was around nine o'clock, but the factories started working at seven in the morning.
The two-hour gap is enough for the anemone to plant the newly grown seeds.
While Bob was working in the factory, his newlywed wife Lina had gone out to buy groceries.
On the way, Lina met her neighbor Bolkan, who was a bartender in a pub and looked quite handsome.
Because of his work, he usually goes to work in the evening and gets off work in the morning. This time, he happened to be going the same way as Lina.
"Let me get it for you." Bolkan said to Lina.
Lina originally wanted to keep her distance, as she could sense that Bolkan seemed to have some intentions towards her, but for some reason she agreed.
After chatting all the way home, Lina said, "Thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble. It's my duty to serve beautiful women." Bolkan said humorously.
Lina stretched out her hand to gather her hair: “Why don’t you come in and have a drink of water as a thank you.”
Bolkan's heart immediately beat violently a few times. He knew very well what it meant that a woman alone invited a single man into the house.
"Then I'll obey your command." Bolkan walked past Lina and deliberately rubbed her buttocks with his front body.
Seeing that Lina only blushed and did not scold him, Bolkan was overjoyed. His original 50% certainty had now become 100%.
After entering the house, Lina brought water to Bolkan, and Bolkan's hand touched Lina's hand.
"Ms. Lina, you have such beautiful hands." Bolkan started chatting with Lina using his hands.
As they chatted, they held hands and their bodies were pressed together.
The hot temperatures on their bodies made them unconsciously become passionate.
Inside Lina's body, another new anemone is growing rapidly.
