Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Play with this thing and watch from the sidelines.

No one can resist playing a few games.

The pig-killing plate usually starts from the beginning, not to mention that Zhao Dazhi has also played it before, how could he withstand the temptation.

He felt that after all, it was only a few dollars, and the win or loss was not big. In this boring place, indulgence was good for physical and mental health.

Seeing that Zhao Dazhi wanted to join in, the bald head was overjoyed and deliberately advised: "Dazhi, you said you won't play, don't force it."

"It's okay, just play for a while."

The more the other party said this, the less alert Zhao Dazhi became.

The game is played with dice, guess the size, the bald man is the dealer, the leopard kills all, and the bets are random.

Everyone didn’t press hard because there wasn’t much oil or water.

Zhao Dazhi had a great time playing, and his luck was also very good. He won every game and soon won more than 100 yuan.

"Brother Zhao is so interested."

"Where it is, it's just good luck."

It wasn't until the game was over that Zhao Dazhi reluctantly stopped.

However, in gambling, you are not afraid of people losing, but you are afraid of people winning, because once you win, you will become obsessed with this thing.

In the next period of time, even when Zhao Dazhi was mining, he was looking forward to having a good time on his next rest day.

a mine.

bang bang bang --

Zhao Dazhi is mining here as usual, and there are thousands of people like him.

Everyone is wearing gray miner clothes, holding mining picks, and digging carefully in an underground mountain range.

It is hard to imagine that in this technologically advanced world, such low-level mining methods still exist.

It's because this "super crystal core" is a super energy source located [-] meters away from the center of the earth.

The super crystal core is as big as a fist and as small as a fingernail.It is very fragile and cannot be collected by large tools, and because its energy magnetic field is very large, it cannot be detected by any detection instrument.

Therefore, if you want to obtain such energy, you can only use the most primitive and retro method, which is to use people to mine.

And no one in this world is willing to do this hard work. Unless the mining remuneration is five times higher than the scientific research remuneration, it is possible to recruit people.

Capital cannot spend such a large price, so this underground city was created to allow those who owe debts to come here to repay their debts.

This is the origin of dungeons.

At this time, Zhao Dazhi was sweating profusely while mining. He had been here for five days, but he had never even seen what the crystal core looked like.

The chance of finding the ore is very small. He has been in this mine for a few days, and thousands of people dig every day, but no one can dig it out. It can be seen that the distribution rate of the ore is very low.

There are only a few staff here to supervise, and almost no one is lazy, including Zhao Dazhi.

The reason why Zhao Dazhi digs so hard is because if he digs an ore, he will be exchanged for a large amount of money. Depending on the size of the ore, it can range from 1 to 10, which is equivalent to many days of work.

Zhao Dazhi was digging when he suddenly found a 60-year-old man lying on the ground in the distance. He was obviously fainted from hunger. However, no one paid attention to this old man at all.

Every day in the mine, people starve to death or die of exhaustion. People here have long been accustomed to it and don't pay attention.

But Zhao Dazhi is different. He just entered here, his mind has not been numb yet, and he is still an ordinary and kind-hearted boy in his heart.

"Old man"

Zhao Dazhi hurried over and gently rubbed the old man, and found that the old man's lips were white and he could not hear his call at all.

"Come on, someone has fainted. Is there a doctor?"

Zhao Dazhi tried to shout to the crowd.

However, no one paid any attention to him, not even the supervisors.

These supervisors will only ensure that the people here do not have civil strife. They will not ask about anything else and will not supervise their work.

Because this mining shovel has a built-in monitor, it can intelligently determine whether you are mining today. If it is detected that you are lazy and fishing, then when you check out in the afternoon, it will automatically determine how lazy you are today and deduct the amount based on your laziness. .

The main job of these supervisors, besides preventing civil unrest, is to drag away the corpses from the mine and dispose of them at night, that's all.

Therefore, no one would pay attention to Zhao Dazhi's call.

"How are you, old man?"

Zhao Dazhi couldn't wake him up no matter what, so he had no choice but to look at the job number on his chest, which read: Area 3, Room 16586, Zhao Hongfang.

"Hey, this old man's room number is next door to mine."

"She must be a new one, right? She doesn't seem to have encountered her before when she went out in the morning or when she came back at night."

Helpless, Zhao Dazhi stood up, looked around, and found a person's work number, who was his roommate, so he walked over and asked: "The old man over there is a coworker in your room, why don't you Went to see, he’d fainted.”

Zhao Dazhi thought that since they were roommates, they would help each other.

However, the other party's indifferent attitude was chilling.

"What does it have to do with me?" The young man didn't even raise his head and continued to dig with the mining pickaxe.

"He's in the same room with you, and he's fainted now." Zhao Dazhi said.

"So what if it's just a room? It has nothing to do with me!" The young man was a little impatient. "Go away and don't delay my work."

"Shouldn't you help each other? If one day you faint and fall to the ground, even your roommates won't care about you." Zhao Dazhi was very naive and wanted to continue to persuade.

The young man pointed the mining pick directly at Zhao Dazhi's head, with a fierce look on his face: "Are you fucking cursing me? Do you want to die or not??"

"I" Zhao Dazhi was immediately frightened and took a few steps back, not daring to say anything more.

And the people around him looked at Zhao Dazhi like a fool.

They have long been used to seeing people die here. They are numb and don't feel anything.

If you can't guarantee your own life, how can you care about others?

It's all one day at a time.

Some people even think that death is a kind of relief.

Zhao Dazhi was stunned and sighed. He wanted to go over and try to save the old man, but he didn't know how to save him. He didn't know any first aid methods.

People in this world rely too much on intelligent AI. Even if they live in apartments rented by lower-class citizens, the AI ​​inside has body detection functions and simple first aid functions.

Even if a person faints in the room, he or she will be immediately discovered by the AI, which will use liquid metal to perform simple rescue operations, and then notify medical institutions to come quickly for rescue.

Of course, these services will automatically deduct money from your account. If your money is not enough for the rescue budget, you will not get any treatment.

Zhao Dazhi shook the old man named Zhao Hongfang again. When he found that he couldn't wake up, he felt a little desperate.

He seemed to have seen his future. If he couldn't go out, would he one day die here like this old man?

Just when Zhao Dazhi wanted to give up, a voice came to his ears.

"Try pinching someone."

A middle-aged man said.

"Pinch people"

Zhao Dazhi was confused, what kind of person was he?The middle-aged man gave a demonstration, pointed to his position in the middle of the crowd, then turned around to dig for himself, shaking his head. Apparently he had seen this kind of scene too many times.

This middle-aged man once used this method to save a person, but after the person woke up, he accused him of why he saved him, and it would be better to let him die like this.

Since then, this middle-aged man has stopped saving people because you don’t know if that person really wants to live.
But seeing how persistent this young man was, he kindly told him this method because he wanted to live.He thought that if he fell one day, maybe this young man would save his life.

"Thank you."

Zhao Dazhi said thank you to the kind-hearted young man.

Then, he pinched the old man's body.

After pinching him several times in a row, the other party suddenly let out a big breath and really gradually woke up.

“It really works, it’s amazing”

Zhao Dazhi was simply stunned by this first aid method.

"Water give me water."

After waking up, Zhao Hongcong felt a strong thirst.

"You want water?"

Although Zhao Dazhi was a little reluctant, he still handed over his kettle.

"Grumpy"

Zhao Hongfang drank heavily. He had been thirsty for a long time. Because he was too old and had no physical strength, he fainted.

That's right, this Zhao Hongfang, who has gray hair on his temples and is gentle and elegant, is Zhao Wushuang's grandfather, the top scientist.

He has been imprisoned in the underground city, this unknown world, so Zhao Wushuang couldn't find his grandfather's location despite all the hard work.

Not long ago, he was informed by the higher-ups in the underground city that Zhao Wushuang sang a song that did not belong to this world. She was probably a time traveler. He kept asking about the technology of the fourth dimension, but Zhao Hongfang remained silent. .

However, people in this world don't know how to use torture at all. In order to get the old man to speak, they finally used this method and threw him into the mine to torture him.

I tried my best in the underground city and finally used this method. It seemed to the senior officials of the underground city that the old man would beg for mercy and reveal the top secret if he couldn't bear it for long.

Because they know how tortured this mine is, both mentally and physically.

"Thank you young man, I'm much better."

Zhao Hongfang returned the kettle to Zhao Dazhi.

"it's okay no problem."

Zhao Dazhi helped Zhao Hongfang up, "Old man, please sit here and rest for a while."

"No rest. I have to work, otherwise I will starve to death here."

Zhao Hongfang propped himself up and stood up.

His willpower is very firm, he must live.

If he dies, the world will be silent
It was the second day that Zhao Hongfang came here, and he didn't have any supplies.

Ordinary people, no matter how much they owe, will get three days' salary advance to survive here.

But Zhao Hongfang didn't have any money.

When he came here yesterday, he gritted his teeth and dug for a day, but in the end he only got 1000 yuan in remuneration.

Helpless, he could only buy three steamed buns and carry them over. As long as he resisted for one day and earned the full salary of three thousand yuan, he could survive in this place.

I'll think of a way to escape from here later.

"Old man, can you still do it?"

Zhao Dazhi couldn't bear it. He had just fainted, but now he got up and continued mining. It was sad to see him.

"You have to do it even if you can't do it."

Zhao Hongfang started mining with a mining pickaxe. Although every swing was difficult, he still worked hard. He knew that the mining pickaxe had a detection function, and it was impossible for him to get through by being lazy. If he wanted to survive, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

"Old man, let's have some bread."

Zhao Dazhi handed over his food.

For some reason, he felt that the old man in front of him was very friendly. He had never seen him before, but he felt that he was very different and he couldn't explain why.

Especially when he saw the old man's eyes, that kind of eyes was different from the people here, it was a look full of hope.

Zhao Dazhi never gave up hope from beginning to end.

But people around him told him time and time again not to have hope.

Perhaps it was this look that made Zhao Dazhi feel that he and this old man were on the same road. Maybe they could become friends and chat a few words and encourage each other in this dark dungeon.
"What's so funny about that?"

Zhao Hongfang was a little surprised.

Not to mention in such a particularly oppressive place, even outside, there are a few people who have the heart to lend a helping hand to others.

He is as kind-hearted as that kid Li Xiao.

Zhao Hongfang stared at Zhao Dazhi with emotion in his heart.

Kindness is a quality. When he chose Li Xiao, in addition to Li Xiao having memories, that was Li Xiao's kindness. Without this quality, he would not be able to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world.
"I ate, what do you do?"

Zhao Hongfang said.

Generally, miners only bring one day's worth of food, and if they give it to the other party, they won't have it themselves.

Moreover, people here seem to live one day at a time, and the food is only enough for that day.

"It's okay, I'm young and can bear it." Zhao Dazhi said, "When today's work is over, I'll just go back and have something to eat. Uncle, don't be polite, just eat quickly."

"Thank you young man."

Zhao Hongfang felt grateful and ate the bread, feeling much better.

It was true that he didn't take in enough, and he fainted because he was exhausted.

After eating the bread, Zhao Hongfang regained a lot of strength and looked better.

Next, Zhao Dazhi and Zhao Hongfang stood together digging, and then chatted.

"Uncle, you are new here."

Zhao Dazhi said while digging.

"Yeah, newcomer."

Zhao Hongfang will not disclose his own information. To outsiders, he is just an ordinary absentee.

The two of them chatted like this, and they no longer looked tired from mining.

Zhao Dazhi felt that he had finally found someone with whom he could talk happily, especially this old man, who spoke very wisely and could always put aside some of his doubts, like a wise man.

Before you know it, the day's work is almost over.

"Hey"

Zhao Dazhi and Zhao Hongfang chatted for a long time. The two of them have become like friends. Seeing that such a wise man would come into this place, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Old man, I feel that you are a very wise person. I am very It’s rare to make friends. There is only one friend in this world. If I met you earlier, maybe we could become very good friends. It’s a pity that we are here. It’s such a pity. You have to be mentally prepared. Here Life is very hard, and getting out is as difficult as reaching the sky."

Zhao Hongfang smiled and murmured: "After the break of dawn comes the rising sun. This is a truth that remains unchanged throughout the ages. This is still the case in this world. Darkness will not exist forever. After darkness, there will be light. Sometimes difficulties can make us confused, but As long as we look up at the stars, we will see where hope lies. It is a shining Big Dipper, pointing us in the direction, leading us out of the darkness and moving towards the future." (End of this chapter)
