Not a construction site.
But an [excavation site]!
He now found himself within a vast pit, by his estimation at least ten football fields in size…
The pit was incredibly large.
Why would anyone dig such a huge hole for no reason?
Moreover, the pit was not only massive but also very deep!
...
Lin Xian looked up like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Except for a large rectangular patch of sky overhead, he couldn’t see any of the landscapes above ground.
The depth of this colossal pit was at least forty to fifty meters by his estimation.
“What the hell is all this for?”
Whether born in a city, a forest, or a cesspit beneath the City in the Sky, he had never felt this perplexed.
At least in his previous dreams, he went through a process of acceptance, gradually understanding where he was and what he was supposed to do.
But this time, his entry into the dream was too abrupt.
It felt like he was forcibly thrust into the role, surrounded by dark-skinned workers.
Some were carrying things;
Some were clearing stones;
And more people were digging downward with shovels.
Why gather so many people to dig a pit…
What exactly were they digging for?
Just as Lin Xian was puzzled,
A gusty wind, and a muddy slap thudded on Lin Xian’s back:
“Don’t you dare daydream, little bro!
Get to work!
You’re going to get whipped soon!”
That familiar voice…
Lin Xian turned his head!
Sure enough, he saw a great being, who could have beaten the space-time butterfly, looked down upon the Millennium Stakes, and dominated the river of time—
“Brother Lian?”
“Ow!”
Big Face Cat let out a wretched scream.
Behind him was a strong man, cursing as he whipped Big Face Cat with a weapon slung across his waist and a neat uniform on his body:
“Get the hell back to work!
Who let you idle around!”
“Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!”
Big Face Cat bowed and nodded apologetically and then dragged Lin Xian aside, shoving a shovel into his hands and hissing through his teeth:
“It’s all your damn fault, you got me whipped!
Dig, dig!
If we don’t dig out this section today, we won’t get any dinner tonight!
And we’ll be beaten too!”
Having said that,
Big Face Cat didn’t dare to delay and immediately started digging vigorously.
Lin Xian, when in Rome,
Joined Big Face Cat in digging.
Meanwhile, he asked:
“Brother Lian, what are you guys digging for?
And why do you look so miserable this time, like a slave?
Are those supposed to be shorts?
They barely cover anything, swinging all over the place.”
“Shhh————”
Big Face Cat paled with fright, looking around cautiously, and glared at Lin Xian:
“You dare to speak loudly!
You’ll get whipped if you’re seen!”
Lin Xian fell silent for the moment.
Glancing around…
He noticed that all the workers here were more or less like Big Face Cat.
Everyone was exhausted but didn’t dare stop, working with gritted teeth.
Their skin was completely sunburnt.
In fact, most had skins peeling from the burn.
And even more shocking…
Was the scars on everyone’s body, bloody and battered, obviously from being whipped as punishment.
No wonder Big Face Cat was so scared.
Their situation was exactly that of forced laborers and slaves, wasn’t it?
The second anyone dared to rest.
They would immediately get a lash!
And if anyone went too far.
They might be beaten half to death, or even killed on the spot!
Lin Xian realized the rigid rules within this [excavation site] and moved closer, asking in a low voice:
The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.
“Brother Lian, what are we digging for?
No, no…
what are we digging for?”
Lin Xian realized.
He was one of these slaves.
Not exactly a great starting point in this dream, his social class was fixed from the moment he entered.
“Who knows what we’re digging for!”
Big Face Cat wiped the sweat from his forehead:
“Just dig, that’s all!”
“Are we digging for Miniature Nuclear Batteries?” Lin Xian guessed.
“Is that thing worth all this trouble!”
Big Face Cat grunted:
“Miniature Nuclear Batteries are everywhere; if that’s what we were digging for, we wouldn’t be living so miserably!”
Lin Xian couldn’t comprehend:
“Then what exactly are we doing here?”
“I don’t know either!”
Big Face Cat looked innocent and clear-eyed:
“They tell us to dig, so we can only dig!”
“Fine, fine.”
Lin Xian waved his hand.
It seemed that nothing would come out of Big Face Cat’s mouth.
How about the military?
In this dream, was the strategist still around?
Lin Xian shoveled another heap of soil, moving closer to Big Face Cat:
“Ah Zhuang?”
“Yo, you still remember Ah Zhuang, huh?
Wasn’t he beaten to death by the foreman a long time ago?”
“Er Zhuzi?”
“Hey…
don’t mention it.
If it weren’t for his extra glances at the foreman’s wife, we all wouldn’t have ended up whipped.”
“Where is Er Zhuzi then?”
“He was chopped up and fed to the dogs by the foreman long ago!
What person…
there’s not even shit left!”
“San Pang?”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“San Pang is such an honest and simple person, he surely wouldn’t have made any mistakes, right?”
“Hmph.”
Big Face Cat snorted coldly:
“San Pang talked back when the foreman was dealing with Er Zhuzi, and he got fed to the dogs too.”
“…”
Lin Xian felt some sympathy.
It looked like the Lian Gang was nearly wiped out.
There was only Big Face Cat left, as the sole commander.
“Lee Cheng, Lee Ningning, do you know them?”
Big Face Cat shook his head impatiently:
“Who the hell are they?
I just want to dig soil and eat!
Can’t you stop talking to me?
It’s me who gets whipped, not you!”
“I am digging, aren’t I?”
Lin Xian felt he was already doing his best to cooperate with Big Face Cat.
This was the fastest he had gotten into character since the multiple times he’d entered the dream; he had shoveled a lot of soil in just a short while.
When had his former self, an upstanding citizen, ever suffered like this?
It was all about extracting information, anyway.
“Isn’t there anyone sensible around here?”
Lin Xian also felt helpless as Big Face Cat wasn’t yielding anything useful with his words:
“Does anyone know what the heck we are actually digging for?”
“We’re digging for ‘Turing’.”
Suddenly,
a tanned but tall and stern-featured middle-aged man beside him spoke up out of nowhere:
“They’ve changed the excavation sites several times, they are digging for ‘Turing’, reportedly a very powerful thing that tribes all around the world are searching for.”
?
This man seemed to have a good grasp of the worldview.
Lin Xian was just about to move closer to inquire when
Big Face Cat let out a disdainful laugh:
“Oh look, if it isn’t Mr.
Unlucky, knows quite a bit, doesn’t he?”
The man called Unlucky furrowed his brow and looked at Big Face Cat:
“Big Face Cat, I hope you can be a bit more polite and not call me Unlucky.
I have a name.”
“Yo-he!”
Big Face Cat howled:
“You’re calling me Big Face Cat but expect me to call you by your name, aren’t you being unreasonable!”
Having said that,
he proceeded to tell Lin Xian the story with a laugh as if it were a joke:
“Bro, you have no idea how unlucky this guy is.”
“He’s not even from this era.
At our last dig site, quite coincidentally, we came across an underground hibernation pod storage facility!”
“Most of the hibernation pods were destroyed in the great disaster of 2400, only his was intact and functioning!”
“And you know what happened?
Hahaha…
The foreman just tied him up and put him to work.
Talk about bad luck.
He would have been better off dead with the others!”
“Additionally, when the foreman was collecting stuff, he took Unlucky’s storage box too.
He can’t see his notes, doesn’t know about his past, and has no clue about who he is.
The only name he knows…
came out when the foreman was whipping him!”
“You tell me, with luck this bad, you’re afraid of people calling you Unlucky…
Aowww!!”
Another whip came flying.
Big Face Cat squealed like a pig.
“Get to work!
Dig!”
The uniformed overseer bellowed and walked away after lashing Big Face Cat twice more.
Big Face Cat, with gritted teeth,
face red,
dared not utter a word,
and bowed his head to dig.
Lin Xian approached the man referred to as “Unlucky.”
By age, he appeared to be a good decade or so older than Lin Xian.
Clearly, he was much smarter than Big Face Cat and knew more information.
Thus, he politely asked:
“Big brother, may I ask your name?”
“Gao Wen.”
The man scooped away another heap of soil, looking at Lin Xian:
“I have no memories from before my hibernation, nor have I seen the notebook that was left.
I’m not sure if this name is real.”
“But compared to the nickname they’ve given me, Unlucky, I obviously prefer you respect me and call me by this name—”
“Gao Wen.”
