The Infinite Journey of Cruelty

Chapter 204: : Blackrock City

After staying in Sfor City for five days, the three returned to Kyiv Nora Sea of ​​Trees after taking the clothes and a batch of supplies they purchased.

​​

This time they came back, not wanting to continue living a carefree life in the forest, but preparing to pack up and prepare for a journey to the northeastern part of the empire.

​​

……

​​

Empire, a great feudal country that lasted for a thousand years and prospered for a thousand years.

​​

In the past thousand years, there has not been any change of imperial power, and the royal family is still the same royal family that used to be in its glorious period.

​​

Large-scale wars have been fought, but under the oppression of Teigu, the imperial family of the empire has been sitting back and relax.

​​

In the history of Li Wei, no country can last for such a long time. The Chinese civilization has continued to this day, and it has also undergone many dynasties.

​​

The deformed empire has the force to suppress all reactionary forces. If you want to overthrow the empire's rule, the first thing you need to solve is the idea that has been deeply rooted for thousands of years!

​​

……

​​

The border cities in the northeastern part of the empire had a cold climate, and most crops could not be grown. They would not have become the prosperous business circle of the empire. However, after a large number of iron and coal mines were discovered on the border, the northeastern part of the empire became the forefront of industrialization. base.

​​

The special electric lights and some items for the nobles to play in the empire now come from the industrial cities in the northeast, and the headquarters of the rich businessmen of the empire are also in the industrial cities in the northeast.

​​

Black Rock City in the northeast is the second largest prosperous city in the empire, and its extravagance is no less than that of the imperial capital.

​​

In Blackrock City, where there is a lot of smog floating in the sky, there are more than 6 million people living, which should not have such a large-scale urban agglomeration on the northern permafrost that lacks food.

​​

The extremely high economic value brought by the industry allows the big businessmen to rely on the transportation of large amounts of food to prop up the operation of Black Rock City.

​​

At the same time, the grain merchants who control the grain also control all the laborers in Blackrock City. They are forced to work 16 hours a day in exchange for the money to support their family.

​​

And because Black Rock City is far away from the warm places of the Empire, all Black Rock City workers can only be trapped in the Black City City all their lives, accepting endless exploitation and use.

​​

……

​​

The Empire's Black Rock City is under the control of capital, and at the same time enjoys funding from capital.

​​

There is a huge academy next to the Blackrock Tower in the center of Blackrock City. It is open to all children of Blackrock City residents. Anyone who reaches the age can pass the assessment and pay a certain amount of money every month to enter the school to learn writing and technology. These new technologies can Help these people find a well-paying job in Blackrock.

​​

But...that's all.

​​

The workers saved a sum of money every month and sent their children to Black Rock City. What they learned was only simple spelling and words. The rest of the knowledge is not unless you are good enough to be favored by the tutor.

​​

Otherwise, students who successfully graduate will only repeat the old path of their parents, and those who are a little smarter will become small technicians, earning more wages than others, holding the title of superior, and dreaming of being able to work in Blackstone. Buy an expensive house in the city.

​​

dong dong!

​​

The giant pendulum clock rang the long bell at noon, and the roaring mechanical sounds in Blackrock City seemed to disappear at this moment.

​​

In Hei Yao Academy, the students who had been cramming for the whole morning flocked to the canteen, only the teacher walked slowly towards the special canteen for teachers.

​​

Instead of wearing commoner silk like ordinary poor people in the imperial capital, they were wearing straight suits, and some of the male teachers also wore gold-wire glasses that symbolized cultural people.

​​

When they meet colleagues, they will smile at each other and be polite.

​​

After George finished teaching for half a day and greeted those half-baked colleagues, he had a barely adequate lunch with the help of his shaking hands in the cafeteria.

​​

A spoonful of mashed potatoes, a spoonful of curry, two pieces of bread, and a small piece of meatloaf.

​​

This kind of lunch has not changed for a long time. George doesn't like mashed potatoes, because he always thinks that the drowsiness of teaching in the afternoon is caused by mashed potatoes!

But if he wanted to have the strength to teach, he had no choice but to eat mashed potatoes.

​​

George came to the corner of the cafeteria, took his favorite corner seat, and read a novel from the shirt on his chest.

​​

In Black Rock City, people have few recreational activities. They need to work continuously for 16 hours in various positions every day. Every six days, people can only take a day off.

​​

This is not the generosity of the wealthy businessmen. If the workers have no rest, Blackrock City will have no population, and the wealth of the wealthy businessmen will be lost.

​​

The only recreational activities for workers are basically love and doing things, but George thinks that he is not a worker, but an intellectual, so his entertainment is to buy words from the center of the empire and watch this novel.

​​

I don't know if it was the influence of the unpalatable mashed potatoes, or the novel was not good-looking.

​​

George kept flipping through the books in his hand, and the exciting novels became boring, so much so that he shook his head, put down the novels in his hands, and concentrated on picking up the food on the bowl.

​​

"Hey, George, why didn't you read today?"

​​

While George was cooking, an annoying voice came from the next table.

​​

George ignored it, but the speaker didn't intend to let him go.

​​

A man in a denim overalls and a funny brown cotton hat came to his table and put an empty plate on the table.

​​

George looked up and saw that the other party had the rough skin and beard typical of workers, and there were still unwashed oil stains on his arms and clothes.

​​

He is a person he despises. His name is Bauer. He is a mechanical maintenance worker. Because of his excellent skills and good educational talent, he was selected as a maintenance teacher in the first two years of technician applications. Teach children who have little talent how to become a qualified maintenance worker.

​​

George looked down on him very much, not only because the other party was often sloppy, he liked to shout at a high voice when he spoke, and he had a strong smell of engine oil, but also because Bauer often came to harass him.

​​

"Don't be like this dude, we've known each other for a few years, let me tell you, I taught a good student, I won the first place in the last skill test, and I also entered the top three in the design competition, even with me They all got twenty silver coins as a reward, hehe!"

​​

"If you're here to show off your students, I already know, it's very powerful, you can go." George swallowed his food, and after a perfunctory sentence, he accelerated his eating, trying to get rid of Ball's harassment.

​​

Bauer nodded suddenly and said, "I understand, I understand, you literate people love to read~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You must go back to study again, right!"

​​

George ignored him.

​​

Suddenly, Bauer took out a small book the size of a palm from his work pocket, his majestic body bent up, leaned over to George's side, and said in a low voice, "My student gave me a small book and told me to Don't give it to others easily, it's better to burn it after reading it. He is very nervous, but you know me, even if I know the words~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is the first two big, this book is just I'll show it to you, I think it's almost the same if you burn it after reading it."

​​

When Bauer approached, George shrank his neck, and after hearing his words, he looked suspiciously at the small book he handed over. There was no word on the cover of the book.

​​

"What book is this?"

​​

"I haven't read it, but Nat is very serious, but I really don't like reading books. When I get home, I have to help Lisa knit a sweater. I'll give it to you. Remember to burn it after reading it!"

​​

Taking the small book handed over by the rough big hand, George had to admit that his interest was aroused, but in the face of Bauer, who was despised by him, he was not very good to start reading immediately, and just casually pointed it out. nod.

​​

"Let's talk about it after I've read it, but not that kind of book."

​​

Bauer smiled heartily, stood up, and said heartily, "If it's that kind of book, you might not be willing to burn it. I'll go first, and I'll go back to prepare the course!"

​​

George's face darkened, noticing the strange gazes from the cafeteria, he wished he could slap Bauer in the face.
