In the mine.

Hundreds of people lived in each cave. Everyone was wearing thin clothes. Some people were huddled together and shivering with cold. Their clothes were almost unrecognizable...but the people guarding them were wearing thick cotton clothes.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get up and go to work. If you fail to complete the task, you will be in trouble..."

"Snapped."

Those who walked slowly were whipped and fell to the ground in pain.

"If you dare to be lazy, I'll beat you to death..."

"Forgive me."

The man was soon beaten to a pulp and rolled on the ground in pain.

But the guard continued to fight without any pause.

Some of the miners felt extremely uncomfortable watching this scene, some were extremely angry and clenched their hands into fists, some looked scared, and some looked numb.

The guard holding the whip saw the miserable state of the man being beaten, he burst into laughter, looked at the miners around him, and spoke loudly.

"This is the consequence of not listening. If any of you walk slower, I will kill one of you today and then throw you off the cliff..."

After hearing this, the miners became even more frightened and walked faster.

They don't want to die here. They were all captured, and some were deceived. They thought they had a good job that could earn hundreds of dollars a month. Who knew that after coming here, they didn't have enough food or sleep, and had to work fifteen or sixteen hours a day. Not only that, they were beaten from time to time. These guards were extremely cruel...

Some of their fellow workers were beaten to death simply for walking too slowly, while others caught colds at night because they ate too poorly and wore too thin clothes. There were no doctors to treat them here, and if they had a high fever or something, they would be thrown off the cliff. Moreover, these beasts made them carry their fellow workers while they watched from the side.

After they came out of the cave and walked for two quarters of an hour, they entered the mine. From time to time, they could hear the guards cursing. Sometimes, they would be beaten by the guards even when they were pushing the wheelbarrow.

Not far away, several guards gathered there, watching the miners and talking.

"I heard that the higher-ups have given them orders to do more work and produce more iron so that it can be shipped out when the time comes..."

"I heard that there are traps in many places in the mountains to prevent people from coming in."

"We have been here for many years and no one has come in. Who would come in this godforsaken place?"

"I think I haven't been away for ten years. I really miss home."

"Stop talking, don't say you miss home, or else someone above you might hear you, and that'll be the end of you..."

A few people looked around and quickly dispersed. They didn't dare to say anything more.

Not only were these miners captured and sold, they were also hired, but the miners had very poor food and no monthly salary, while they had 200 to 300 coins a month. However, the money they saved could only be sent back home through the people above them, and most of them could not go home to visit their families. Most of them had not been home for ten years.

However, some of their former superiors had returned and said that if they became team leaders, they could go home to visit and would also be rewarded with a sum of money.
