Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 880

The foreman observed the commoners with a frown and said, "Today, each of you must mine a total of 500 grams of crystals, or you won't get to eat."

Without giving them a chance to process what was going on, he waved his hand and said, "Send them in!"

Following his order, the guards pointed their weapons at the commoners and forced them to climb down the ladders.

Reaching the bottom of the hole, they saw countless people already working there. Their gaunt bodies were covered with strange purple bruises and black veins. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were bloodshot.

When they saw a large group of people arrive, they didn't even bother to glance at them and continued mining the crystals embedded in the ground and walls monotonously.

Seeing their conditions, the commoners finally realized what hell was waiting for them. They wanted to escape, but it was too late.

One of the commoners didn't want to stay and decided to try his luck to escape. The moment he ran, one of the guards pulled the trigger.

BANG!

"Argh!"

The bullet pierced his thigh, leaving a bloody hole behind. The man fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

"This is a warning. Next time anyone tries to run, the bullet will pierce your head. Now, get to work!" the guard said coldly.

The commoners were too scared to go against them and could only pick up their tools to work. Those who didn't have any tools could only use their fingers or sharp stones to dig the black crystals.

They thought that mining 500 grams of crystals was an easy task. But when they started working, they realized that the crystals were harder than metal.

Even the soil and stone around the crystals were very hard. Not to mention using stones or fingers, even using tools was not enough to easily dig the crystals out.

As the workers worked, the sky started to darken. When it was 7 o'clock in the evening, the sound of a siren echoed in the area, marking the time for changing shifts.

The workers carried their baskets or buckets containing the black crystals to the checking point. While the guards weighed the crystals, the workers formed a line.

Those who reached the daily target were given a piece of hard, black pancake and a cup of water.

Those who got more received an extra piece of pancake and an extra cup of water. As for those who didn't hit the target, they got nothing but half a cup of water, just to keep them alive.

After the workers left the mine, another group of workers entered. The mining process continued as the guards escorted the tired workers back to their dwellings.
