Chapter 98 Slavery
What is Lu Chuan's adventure coming from the city to the survivor's stronghold?
people.
What Lu Chuan did was actually people.
Survivors with technology and knowledge.
They may be a lack of survival skills, and they are a burden in the end of the world, but in Lu Chuan's eyes, it is not always the case. They are like a huge fortune that can create countless wealth for themselves.
If it wasn't for them, Lu Chuan University could develop little by little and advance little by little in the center of the city.
When adventuring here, Lu Chuan also raised his heart.
Now that we have entered the stronghold, the first step is to find enough technical talents; the second step is how to get them to leave the stronghold with me; the third step is to place them.
Lu Chuan had already thought about the placement in the third step, and there would be no problem.
The negative fourth and negative five floors of the biochemical factory, with tens of thousands of square meters of space, are not a problem to accommodate them.
With the structure of the biochemical factory and their own control over the biochemical factory, without their permission, it is impossible for them to leave.
This is only temporary. In the fourth step, Lu Chuan will choose a place and use zombies to create an insurmountable area.
For example, if a community is transformed in a city, there are zombies made by biochemical factories in all directions, completely surrounding the community and turning it into a huge cage.
It seems very inhuman, but compared to this stronghold, it is heaven.
At least they are not short of food, and there is no risk of starvation.
The more they contribute, the stronger they become at that time, and the larger the area they cover. At that time, their activity space will also be larger.
It looks like a virtuous circle, but it is actually mutually beneficial.
In the early stage, it seemed that Lu Chuan was imprisoning them, but in the long run, they would gain freedom that they did not have in the last days.
The future is farther, who can tell?
…………
In this world, many things cannot be seen through the surface.
For example, this stronghold where Lu Chuan is now.
From the outside, it keeps human survivors safe and provides a shelter.
It's not wrong to describe it this way, it's actually true.
But what about the fact?
After walking here, Lu Chuan realized the cruelty of the end times, because this stronghold adopts semi-slavery. Anyone who wants to live, and who is incapable, can only do so by becoming a slave to the powerful.
The stronghold was initially composed of surviving humans, scattered and unorganized, and was temporary.
However, as time goes by, more and more survivors gather here. Under the interests and under the human nature, the battles are so thrilling that I don’t know how many people did not die in the hands of zombies, but were killed by the zombies. Kill the same kind.
The several forces that were generated finally supported this stronghold.
More than half of the hundreds of thousands of people were slaves of several forces.
And there are fewer and fewer free human beings.
It is certain that in another three years, the stronghold will enter a complete slave society.
In the stronghold, Lu Chuan saw some temporary regulations.
For example, if any theft is discovered, the person with the status of slave will be executed; while the person with free status will be forced to become a slave and become the lowest level.
Don't think that free men will do well, most of them live far less than slaves.
Slaves still have a bite to eat, but if free humans can't find a job to earn food, they are waiting for hunger, and no one will pity the death starvation.
Either leave the stronghold and go to the outside world to find food, or become a slave.
The third option is starvation.
Once you leave the stronghold, the stronghold will charge a certain tax rate, so many people can't afford it, they can only wander outside, and eventually they are found by zombies and become food for zombies.
In this way, the intention of the stronghold is already obvious, that is, to let the survivors of a civilized society struggle in this kind of torture and suffering until the last breath is worn away and the survivors are marked as slaves. brand.
If you become a slave, you will be driven recklessly.
Some people with strong physiques will be selected and trained to become armed men under them.
These armed personnel will be responsible for the security of the stronghold, suppressing slaves, and at the same time hunting zombies, looting resources to replenish strongholds, and so on.
Some slaves will be put into manufacturing factories, making guns and weapons, and making everything they need.
Approaching the base, Lu Chuan knew that a lot of farmland had been reclaimed and planted with crops. A large number of slaves were arranged to work in this farmland.
The existence of zombies, especially some zombies with powerful flying power, has become the most dangerous source. Survivors working in farmland have a very high mortality rate because they are not protected.
The crops in the farmland are completely irrigated by the survivors with their lives and blood.
And these grains are generally only supplied to the upper-level rulers for food.
People at the bottom live a life inferior to pigs and dogs, but those in power at the top live a life of luxury that is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In this stronghold, it will not be heaven, but the edge of hell.
As for the end of the world.
In fact, not many people here know about it. They only know that in silence, zombies appeared, and then there was chaos that was completely out of control.
In just one day, people without immunity have all become zombies.
Zombies chase the survivors, and the survivors run away.
Just like in the novel.
The strong survive, and the weak become food for zombies.
Since the world has collapsed, and things have already happened, who will investigate how the end times came about, and how did the virus come about? With this energy, it is better to think about how to live.
The wantonness of zombies makes the survivors can only be trapped on one side, and there is not much understanding of the outside world.
In this case, who can tell the source of the virus, or what the outside world is like?
…………
"Everyone, listen, this person is cheating and cheating, hiding from the top."
"According to the decree, the execution is now given."
"This man is an example for those who do not obey the law."
When Lu Chuan walked to a street in the stronghold, more than a dozen armed men, carrying guns and crossbows, and holding a disheveled man, were shouting something loudly.
This man was scrawny, and at first glance it was known that long-term malnutrition, coupled with starvation, had tortured him into a human form.
On this man's body, the clothes he was wearing were in tatters, and not a single piece was good.
It's full of dirt, and I don't know how long it's been since I took a bath.
Regarding the word execution, the man didn't even move his eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
On the street, there are many survivors, some of them are watching with interest, some are numb to no emotion. More people are watching all this indifferently.
Execution, in this stronghold, will be staged every day, there is nothing strange.
In a society piled up like a pyramid, at the lowest level, in the eyes of those in power, they are just objects that can be slaughtered at will.
No one took pity on this man who was about to be executed, because they still lacked someone to pity him.
After the sentence was pronounced, a strong and strong man with Kongfu stood in front of the man with a big mountain knife.
An armed man pressed the man's head and exposed his neck.
"Do you know his identity? The former deputy director of the Finance Bureau is now a slave."
"No matter how noble your identity was before, here, there is only one identity, and this is slave. In the stronghold, you don't need your knowledge, all you need is your strength and security."
The armed man at the head was still talking loudly.
All of this is a means of shocking the upper class.
In this way, to warn those insecure people.
After the man in the lead finished speaking, his hand made a slight downward cut.
"what……"
The strong man lifted the big mountain knife and chopped it down fiercely.
From start to finish, it seems like it's just a play, not the end of a life.
Everything is so ordinary, in the eyes of many people, even think that this man is relieved.
After the head was chopped off, the body was packed in a burlap bag and taken away quickly.
No one cares about the blood on the streets, but allows it to dry up on the streets.
All this happened, and Lu Chuan was always in shock. He didn't expect that the beheading execution, which was only available in ancient times, would be staged here. When the knife rises and falls, the head falls.
Lu Chuan had seen countless disgusting zombies, but the impact they brought was far less than the beheading scene in front of him.
Chu Bin, who was with Lu Chuan, looked as usual.
Like this scene, when the bases were officially divided up in the first two or three years, it was even more commonplace. In the past two years, people have accepted this identity, and there has been less resistance.
