Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

Pushing open the heavy gate, this place is simply another world from the outside world.

Although the outside world looks dirty due to air pollution, the overall buildings are still neat and tall.

But the inside is very different from the outside world.

Looking around, on a small open space, there are a lot of disorderly, short and dilapidated small houses.

In Long's sight, he can even see the big chimney clearly visible in the distance.

It is constantly spewing black smoke with sparks into the sky.

And the people living here look even more terrifying.

Everyone looks skinny, and their eyes are like a pool of dead water.

The arrival of Long and Swor did not attract anyone's attention.

They just do what they are doing, either cooking or lying down and waiting to die.

Long was shocked by the scene in front of him. He never thought that people would be in such a state.

He thought that the people he met in other kingdoms were already miserable, but at least they still had feelings.

No matter hatred or any other feelings, the people in front of him were only numb.

"You two, as long as there is no one, just find a house to live in, and if you have nothing to do, go to work quickly."

"I warn you again, don't make trouble here, otherwise you will know the consequences."

After that, the soldier left with a gun.

But before leaving, a hungry man fell in front of him and blocked his way, and he kicked him aside without any hesitation.

"Damn it, dare to block my way."

Seeing this scene, Swol clenched his hands, and he wanted to go over and teach the soldier a lesson right now.

Long stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Swoll, don't lose your mind because of impulse, you go and help him up first."

Swol nodded, he wanted to see if the man was still seriously injured.

Long was lost in thinking about the current situation:

1. The management here is very strict. From the high walls and soldiers with real guns and ammunition, it can be seen that they will not easily allow miners to enter and leave the outside world.

2. The monitoring here is very loose. When Long came in just now, he had already scanned it with his observation Haki. There are very few soldiers inside, and most of them are concentrated on the walls and outside.

3. The people here seem to be very numb and have lost faith in life. The reason they are still alive may be because of the instinct of life.

Long quietly recorded all these contents in his notebook.

When Swole came back, he was still writing furiously, and Swole was about to say something but stopped.

Long stopped the charcoal pencil in his hand, raised it and said to Swol:

"Say whatever you want to say, Swol."

Swol spoke only after hearing this:

"Chief... I just went to see that man, one of his ribs was broken, but when I said I could help him with treatment, he just glanced at me lightly, then got up and left."

"His eyes were too scary, I could only see dead silence in his eyes, no other human emotions."

Long said with emotion:

"Yes, it seems that the current situation of the lower-class people in this country is ten times more difficult than we imagined."

The sky gradually darkened, and the dim lights lit up one after another.

A group of workers covered in black came back from their work to rest.

Then a group of people wearing supervisors' clothes came to distribute some things that could hardly be called food.

Long saw the supervisor who brought him here, but he didn't seem to notice Long.

Each person was given a small piece of black bread and a small bowl of the same black paste by them rudely.

These foods, which were a little hard for Long and Swoll to swallow, were already commonplace for the numb workers.

They stuffed the food into their mouths without thinking about how it tasted.

They worked hard all day and now just wanted to take a good rest.

Because the work in the mine was very hard, if they didn't rest well, they would waste time doing heavy work tomorrow.

Watching the workers who hurriedly finished their food fall asleep, Long and Swoll were a little confused holding the black bread in their hands.

"Chief, how could they eat such unpalatable food so fast."

Swoll couldn't understand it.

The main reason was that Swoll's situation at the time was different from the miners in front of him.

Although Swoll was also oppressed, their place was relatively prosperous and never lacked food.

Long put a small piece of black dry bread into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and tasted the bitter and astringent taste of the bread.

His face was as calm as before, as if this piece of dry and hard black bread was no different from the food he had eaten before.

After Long finished eating the black bread and the bowl of black porridge, he patted his stomach and turned to Swall and said:

"It tastes terrible. This is the worst food I have ever eaten."

Swall was shocked.

"Huh?"

Didn't you say it tastes terrible? But I saw your expression just now, and there was nothing abnormal.

You ate all these things like you would eat normal food, and then told me that it tasted terrible? ? ?

Long Ye imitated the behavior of the miners around him, found an empty room, and lay down on it regardless of the dirt on the ground.

"Sver, although this food is unpalatable, it is best to eat it in order to preserve your strength."

Long didn't say much.

Although he was considered a well-off young man for more than ten years, the moment he decided to seek justice, his lofty belief became his most powerful weapon.

"The bitterness of food is only temporary. It tastes bad, but it tastes good. All you need to do is swallow it down. But the bitterness of their lives has no end in sight."

After listening to Long's words, Siwoer felt a little guilty.

Yes, I am a staunch volunteer soldier, how could I be stopped by a small piece of food?

The leader is right. If you can't even bear this little hardship, how can you endure the hardships of the people at the bottom?

Svor threw the bread into his mouth, chewed it a few times and washed it down with paste.

"But chief, this is really delicious!"

Looking at Siwoer with a bitter look on his face, Long laughed.

"Go to sleep, the real test won't begin until tomorrow."

Siwoer agreed and found a place to lie down and rest.

North Sea Naval Base, in Raleigh's office.

Luo Li was the only busy figure in the huge office. Instead of fishing today, he started to formulate his plan.

Little red dots one after another were clearly marked by him on the map.

Connecting the red dots one by one, it is a road map from Donghai Branch 133 to the Red Earth Continent Snail Transport Team.

Raleigh wrote out names one after another on the map, deleting and subtracting names. Some were crossed out as soon as they were written on.

"That's it." Raleigh put down the pen in his hand, picked up the phone next to him and dialed.
