Chapter 256: Chapter 255: The Daily Life of the base (Sapper Chapter)
Translator: 549690339
As soon as the sun rose, Sapper Zach got up out of habit. He got up with the others to wash up, and then lined up to get a pickaxe.
He had been here for almost a month, and he and his companions had almost gotten used to the daily life here.
When he was first captured, he was still a little apprehensive. Everyone knew the consequences of being captured by the orcs. The warriors were usually taken to the gladiator arena to fight for people to watch, engineers and farmers like him were usually dragged to work as coolies, dying of exhaustion.
The truth was as he had expected. The group of green-skinned orcs were indeed using them as coolies, but the situation was much better than they had imagined.
It was not like what the Bards had said, where they were whipped with thorns every day, doing high-intensity labor, and eating s.h.i.t-like things.
The labor time was very regular. Four hours in the morning, four hours in the afternoon, noon and evening were rest times. Moreover, the labor itself was not very hard, and it was based on their own physical strength to move the ores.
There were also certain technical requirements for mining. Ordinary mines were purely manual labor, and the intensity was even much lower than when they were in the military camp.
Their diet was also much better than they had imagined. At first, it was a transparent liquid. Although it didn’t taste much, after eating it, they were not hungry all day, later on, they would get some strange food and fruits from some farms one after another. The taste was unusually good. Not only did they feel full, but after eating it, they also felt full of energy, which was even stronger than eating meat.
If he didn’t have to be a slave… It was actually not bad. …
When it came to eating, he was more envious of the farmers. Some people said that the farmers had their own houses on the farm, and they could eat the produce from the farm every meal, they were much more popular than the brick-carrying farmers.
d.a.m.n it… why wasn’t he born in the fields?
Sometimes Zach even thought of this, because he hadn’t eaten the thorn melons sent from the fields for three days. Sometimes when he pa.s.sed by, he was particularly envious of the people who were leisurely farming in the fields.
But today, the daily routine that had been unchanged had changed. They were collecting pickaxes when they were suddenly stopped by a guy who looked like a human, saying that there was a new a.s.signment for them.
This time, everyone started to talk about it. Some people even became a little nervous.
Gray egg, who was next to them, was especially nervous. He looked at Zach and asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you?”
Gray egg looked at the front and said in a trembling voice, “What do you think we will be called to do?”
“How would I know?”Zach rolled his eyes. Everything in this place was so novel. Gnolls were called to graze, and they, trolls, and Orcs were called to carry bricks. He was not surprised by what they were called to do now.
He was actually looking forward to it. It was better to do something else in his heart than mining and carrying bricks all the time.
“I heard that some orcs are very wicked. They let people run away, and then they chase and hunt at home, using captives as prey…”
“No Way?”Zach was stunned for a moment. He felt that this guy was exaggerating. After spending a few days together, although those green-skinned orcs looked fierce, they were still quite kind…
“Why not? Do you really think that they are a group of good people?”Grey egg said hatefully.
This…
Zach was silent for a moment. He could not be called a good person, but he felt that they were not evil people… Especially in the past few days, when he got used to dealing with the ogres and Orcs who moved with him, he suddenly felt that these orcs weren’t that bad of an existence… …
The ogres were actually a silly big guy. The Tauren had a short temper, but they were actually very straightforward. Usually, when he couldn’t move them, he would call for the Tauren, and they would come to help without saying anything, this was actually not common among humans.
And their so-called masters were the same. Although they were fierce-looking, they had never mistreated them. Sometimes, they would even carry bricks and mine together…
“Hey, Zach!”Seeing Zach’s appearance, grey egg immediately cursed in a low voice, “Are you deceived by those big green-skinned men’s hypocrisy? “You have to recognize that we are slaves. Do slaves understand? “We have to unite and think of a way to escape!”
“Escape?”Zach was stunned for a moment, and then remained silent.
“Don’t you want to go back?”Grey egg asked in surprise.
Zach was speechless. To be honest, he really didn’t want to. It wasn’t a good job to be an engineer in the army. Only warriors enjoyed the glory of victory, and on the battlefield, the risks they faced were on par with those warriors, because the first goal of the enemy to defeat them was to destroy the equipment at the rear. None of his companions who had come in with him for so many years were left.
The work of the engineers was also very tiring. When they needed to rush work, they often did not sleep or rest for a few days. The intensity was very high. He did not know why gray egg was so enthusiastic about such a precarious and hopeless life.
What was wrong with this place? The labor intensity was not high, and the three meals were provided. Although the accommodation was a dungeon, to be honest, the environment in this dungeon was much better than the military camp. It was neither hot nor cold, and there were no poisonous insects or lice. Most importantly, there was no danger to their lives, they did not have to worry about a team of wolf cavalry rushing out at any time to chop them up like cutting melons and vegetables.
So… … Here… … What was wrong with that?
In the end, under the furious curses of Grayegg, a group of people came to the gra.s.sland outside with all kinds of feelings.
Then, a magical scene appeared…
A light screen flashed, and then an incomparably beautiful city appeared on the originally empty gra.s.sland. All the buildings were made of a kind of crystal clear jade, coupled with the intertwining live wood.., the flowers and vines that decorated the scene made every part of the scene look incomparably exquisite.
The living trees stretched their bodies, emitting a clear and sweet air that could be seen by the naked eye. Under the sunlight, it was as if they were the cities that the bards talked about where the fairies lived. Everyone was stunned on the spot.
“This is the city that we are going to build in the future!”A developer player stood in front of the crowd and explained, “From today onwards, our mission is to complete the construction of this home together.”
“Home? we?”A group of people stared blankly, one of them a little trembling way: “I. . . I. . . We can also live in here?”
Developer players laughed: “This is our home, if you are willing to become a part of here, then this will be your home!”
