Chapter 140 Preparation

That day, outside Heglas, the two of them struggled to resist the orcs' artillery fire, and finally fell to the ground under a shell.

Fortunately, the fragments of the shell did not hit the two of them, and they were just stunned by the shock wave.

Unfortunately, the orcs found that they were still alive, so they escorted them back to the camp and exchanged a few big teeth from the whip boy as a reward.

And this is the origin of their coming here.

After listening to Anne's soft description, Joseph felt that the shame and humiliation in his heart became heavier.

They worked as slaves under the hands of the fart spirits, watching those ugly, smelly and wretched creatures show off in front of them, Joseph felt that their dignity as human beings was severely trampled.

And that mine was actually a factory area set up in the wasteland wilderness, which had a lot of excavation equipment and storage. This place was lost when the orcs attacked.

After the orcs occupied and transformed it, they turned these huge factory areas with piles of ruins into mines. Anyway, for the orcs, there is not much difference between digging ore and digging iron plates. Occasionally, digging out some engineering vehicles from the mines is the biggest surprise for the orcs.

Heavy labor, dangerous and dim environment, these are not as threatening as the orcs.

Those orcs only seem to be able to speak and reason. Their moral logic is completely opposite to that of humans. Joseph is not going to learn from the nobles and kowtow to the orcs, but is quietly preparing for the struggle in secret.

Even if he dies, he must die on the way to charge.

His loud-mouthed sergeant has always said so. Joseph didn't see him in the camp. It is estimated that he has returned to the golden throne.

More human slaves are brought in every day, and more human slaves will die in the mine.

Because the ground is slippery and fell, they fell on irregular metal and stabbed to death.

Because the shoes were worn out and the wounds on the feet were infected, they died.

Died on the spot by deadly industrial materials after digging out a condenser or isotope storage tank in the ruins of a factory.

There are also those who were dragged to the kitchen by the orcs to improve their meals.

This is intolerable for any human who still has the will to resist.

The viciousness of human factory owners is to grab more profits.

The orcs are unaware of their viciousness. They even think that they are good enough to these shrimps and you should be grateful.

Silently cut off a piece of mushroom and threw it into the hot water purified by the water purification tablets.

The water jar was dug by Joseph when he was working, and the water purification tablets were his belongings, which were not taken away by the rough orcs.

Although these mushrooms growing from the cracks in the wall and various places are not good-looking, they taste like leather shoes and have a strange smell of dishwashing water.

But this is indeed a safe food that the slaves in the camp can fill their stomachs without worrying about being poisoned by other things.

In the past few months of slave life, Joseph has seen many poor people who were poisoned.

Silently taking the can down from the high-heat pipe, the pipe was well sealed and insulated. Even though the factory had been shut down for so long, Joseph could still feel its heat from a distance.

"Come and have a bite."

"Thank you." Anne took the can, blew it with her mouth, and sipped the hot mushroom soup in small sips. The taste was really strange. Even after eating it for so long, she would not get used to the taste.

Scraping her tongue with her teeth, Anne's facial features were squeezed together with disgust.

After a hasty meal, the slaves should have saved their energy, rested, and hoped that they would not be dragged away by the orcs the next day.

But Joseph had something to say tonight.

"Brothers." A simple greeting, the people squatting around the high-heat pipe looked at Joseph.

These people were all bald, although they were not shaved cleanly, and some of them had a new crop of hair on their heads, which looked untidy and bumpy.

Even Anne's hair has been shaved off. There is no chance to wash your hair here. Keeping hair is just a nest for some parasites on your body that are full of radioactive elements and germs.

"I found the portable communication equipment originally set up in the factory. After a simple charge, we can hear the news of the army."

"That's great. Doesn't this mean that we are getting closer to the day of struggle?"

Joseph nodded, "That's right. Although we can't contact the defense army because of the damage to the output device, we can hear some of their reports on the offensive layout."

"I heard that the reinforcements of the empire have arrived."

The thin faces of the crowd became obviously happy. Everyone can realize what it means to have reinforcements from the empire.

Unlike other small slave gathering areas, the slaves around Joseph are all surviving soldiers, and they also have basic combat awareness.

"That means the Imperial Army will launch a counterattack soon, and we are saved."

Joseph raised his hand, interrupting the other cheers, "No, soldiers. We can't count on the Imperial Army's rescue. They may not know we are here."

The atmosphere turned cold, and these soldiers realized that they were first the missing persons on the list, the survivors of the fall of the Heglas Hive, and the shamed people captured by the orcs, but not themselves.

And who knew that there would be slave owners among the orcs? They were all prepared to die in battle or be eaten by the orcs, instead of digging out garbage for the orcs.

"Then. What are we going to do?"

"We must fight and resist. Let the empire know that deep in the orc camp there is still a group of loyal soldiers who resist tenaciously."

"If we talk about resistance, then we have to talk about the current personnel problems and weapons reserves." Anne said from the side. The long slave life has made this somewhat cowardly temporary conscript stronger and sharper.

"We have developed resistance members in various slave gathering areas, and they are willing to cooperate with our work and are ready to fight at any time. They have all lost their property or lost relatives in the orc attacks."

"We also recovered a lot of iron pieces in this factory area, which can barely be used as daggers, as well as some undamaged blowtorches. If we really want to fight, we will have to fight with the orcs for a long time. Fighting."

Joseph closed his eyes and thought for a while, "I think we can have a fight with the orcs. In the past few months of observation, the orcs we supervise at the farm have not seen anyone using guns. They basically use whips and trapping pliers." equipment."

"That's right." A soldier agreed with Joseph's statement. "According to reports from our other camps, there are only orcs with guns guarding the outer gate of the industrial zone and a maintenance station to the northwest of us."

service centre.

Joseph frowned, and he also thought of the maintenance station space with the largest number of slaves to maintain it.

Almost all human slaves will be sent to that place to work to meet the needs of the maintenance station, and then the remaining slaves will be sent to various places in the industrial area mines.

According to the orcs, although shrimps are stupid, they work more carefully than grunts. As long as they hold the whip well, they will be obedient.

"Get ready first. Wait for the day when the imperial artillery fire comes."
