The factory building three hundred meters away looks like a workshop, with rows of textile equipment placed inside.
At this time, there are countless workers, all working overtime nervously.
There are many small factories of this type in Qinggang City, especially the satellite city. Generally speaking, the fate of children who enter the satellite city or are born in the satellite city is also in Qinggang City. After becoming sensible, he entered such a factory and started working.
After that, it is often possible to stay in such a factory for the rest of your life.
Although the wilderness refugees who have stayed in the satellite city for three years, or the children who were born in the satellite city, have the opportunity to enter school, it has to be said that a large number of people do not care about it. No matter what, more people think that instead of sending their children to school every day to fight and make trouble, which wastes so much time, it is better to let them work early and earn some money.
The satellite city has never forced itself on this.
It’s funny to say that, but Lu Xin and Teacher Xiaolu, orphans who grew up under the guidance of the old director of the orphanage, know the importance of learning. The previous old director, even in the most chaotic situation, During the day, I also warned them many times about the importance of learning.
So no matter before or now, Red Moon Orphanage tries its best to let the children go to school and study.
Of course, even so, it is normal for factories to work overtime, but not many work overtime so late.
Lu Xin has noticed that it is already around two o'clock in the night.
With the help of his sister's ability, he could see that in the factory building 300 meters away, there were still many people working overtime. They were standing in front of long workbenches one after another, dividing the work. , some are cleaning cotton embryos, some are transporting cotton slivers, and some are spinning rovings. With the bright and dazzling lights in the factory, the whole work is tense and orderly, and it looks very enthusiastic...
But Lu Xin saw the problem at a glance.
All the workers were working like precision instruments at this time, working in a daze and numbness. Some of their hands had been bruised and bleeding, but they still split the cotton balls without feeling at all. Unconsciously, the blood in their hands has stained the cotton red;
Some were so tired that they crooked their legs when walking, but they still kept running against the small mountain of woven bags;< /p>
Some people saw some problems with the knitting machine, and immediately put their hands in expressionlessly, and forcibly corrected the mistakes...
...the machine mashed their hands, He didn't react at all.
...It was like a factory without pain or even perception.
......
......
"Have you seen the source of pollution?"
The voice of the gecko sounded in Lu Xin's ears Ringed softly.
Lu Xin finally realized that he was the one who dealt with this kind of thing and should not be shocked by such a scene.
So he looked intently, and soonThen I saw that among all the busy workers, there was a middle-aged man who looked particularly excited. He was wearing a wrinkled suit and was sweating profusely, but his shirt and tie underneath were still tightly tied. Yan Shishi, at this time, he was walking in the factory, waving his arms exaggeratedly, opening and closing his lips, as if saying something loudly.
Lu Xin glanced at the gecko subconsciously and said, "Is it him? What are you talking about?"
The gecko did not turn his head, but lowered his head and said, "You distinguish carefully. We should be able to hear it..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly and turned to the other side.
At this time, the younger sister glanced at the gecko coldly. Under Ling's messy hair, her eyes seemed to narrow slightly.
Similarly, at this time, Lu Xin also felt that the pupils of his eyes were shrinking slightly, and he saw everything in the factory more carefully, and even the objects were blurred because of the distance. The sound of the machine turning became increasingly clear at this time.
Then, he quickly caught the man’s voice speaking loudly:
“Work, you must work!”
“We are all big boys. Those who were lucky to survive after the disaster, why should we be alive when others died?”
“Look, how many people in this city are living like dogs, what’s the point of their lives? They will never make a lot of money in their lives, and they have no hope of entering the main city to live. And in the wilderness outside, there are countless lunatics wandering around, and countless people who don't even have enough to eat. The reason is because they simply don't have enough to eat. There are no jobs like ours!"
"So, we can only work, and only by working harder can we enter the main city life..."
"If we don't work, We can only starve to death like those outside the city..."
"Fight, fight, if we don't work, what's the difference between us and the dead?"
" ..."
The words he shouted were very passionate, and his voice even sounded hysterical. His voice was hoarse and even congested, but he seemed not to feel it at all, like a wild beast. Howling, shouting loudly with all the strength.
As he yelled, the speed and rhythm of the people around him also became faster and faster, and the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more fanatical.
On the ground, even some people who had collapsed on the ground from exhaustion and did not know whether to live or die stood up unsteadily at this time.
They looked at the machine and cotton embryos in front of them, as if they were looking at the only meaningful thing in life.
......
......
"Is that the source of pollution?"
Lu Xin's pupils shrank slightly and he asked in a low voice.
Gekko smiled softly and said: "Old Chen said you can see spiritual monsters, what can you see now?"
Lu Xin took a serious look, and then lightly He shook his head lightly and said, "I can't see this kind of thing., can only see one person there! "
"Same as me. "
Gecko smiled softly and said: "Yes, that short fat man in a suit is the source of pollution. ”
“Strictly speaking, he has not become a source of pollution yet. He should be regarded as a mental mutant. However, such a mental mutant is more terrifying than the source of pollution. He has already affected that little child. There are close to a hundred employees in the small factory, and someone like him who is completely unable to control his abilities and can even no longer communicate normally can be directly classified as a source of pollution. "
"..."
In the channel, Linda, or Tie Cui's voice sounded at the right time: "Zheng Yuanxiong, director of Yuanxiong Textile Factory, forty years old , entered the satellite city at the age of 27 and founded this textile factory. However, it was not managed well and it was on the verge of bankruptcy several times. ”
“Ten days ago, someone discovered something strange in this textile factory and reported it to the Security Office. It was just because of the lack of manpower. When our investigation team arrived, the situation was already out of control. This factory building The people inside are all moderately infected and will madly attack anyone who enters the factory and tries to stop them from working, or they will contaminate others and become one of them. ”
“Now, everyone in their factory has been working continuously for two and a half days without eating, drinking, sleeping or resting. If they are not stopped, all of them will It is possible that he will work until he dies, and Zheng Yuanxiong will completely lose control at any time! "
"At that time, the scope of his pollution will increase significantly, and even spread to several surrounding factories! "
"..."
"So, the headquarters ordered to clean up directly! ”
