Chapter 0084 This is Hell
I stood in front of Zhao Xiaohai and said to the short and strong man, "It's us, big brother. We are not afraid of hardship. Do you think we are suitable?"
"Okay, come with me to work after dinner." The man looked at us, made eye contact with Aunt Cao, and nodded in agreement.
"You agree now, without an interview?"
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Why are there so many problems? Twenty thousand yuan a month, food and accommodation included, you can work if you want!" The man was very impatient and seemed to have a bad temper.
Aunt Cao tried to smooth things over by saying, "My son is doing this for my sake. Don't worry, I can't do you any harm."
"Okay, thank you very much, Auntie."
Zhao Xiaohai and I nodded.
"The meal is ready. We'll serve it to you. After you finish eating, leave quickly."
Aunt Cao was busy going in and out of the kitchen serving dishes, while her son Cao Jinwang just sat there eating and drinking, with no intention of helping.
"Why aren't you eating? Do you think the food I cooked is bad?" Aunt Cao kept picking up food for us.
There's no way to avoid it this time.
"We feel a little upset in our stomachs and our appetites are not very good."
Since both mother and son were eating, there should be no problem with the food, but I still found an excuse and Zhao Xiaohai and I didn’t eat much.
Wangcai was squatting beside the table. Aunt Cao threw a piece of braised pork to him, but he didn't even look at it.
"Oh, this little thing is quite picky about food! Young man, you are going to the factory anyway, and they don't allow pets, so just leave the cat with Auntie! I am alone at home all day, it's boring."
Aunt Cao looked at Wangcai with a somewhat creepy look.
Wangcai meowed, jumped onto my legs, and the hair on his tail almost stood up.
"My cat is used to being wild. It likes to run outside. No need to worry about it, auntie." I touched Wangcai's head.
"What a pity! It's such a fat cat." Aunt Cao licked her lips unwillingly.
This is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully. Before I could figure out what it meant, I suddenly noticed that there was a double image on Aunt Cao's fat old face.
Oops, there's something wrong with the food!
The world was spinning, my eyes went dark, and I fell down...
In a daze
“My live broadcast…”
My eyelids seemed to be glued shut, and I had no strength left in my body. I completely passed out.
dark.
Still dark.
I don’t know how long it was before I finally woke up.
"My stuff!"
My eyes were dazed for two seconds, then I suddenly remembered everything and quickly sat up.
The backpack was gone, and the clothes he was wearing were replaced by a worn, smelly dark blue uniform.
Oh no, everything has been taken away. Can the live broadcast still go on as scheduled?
My heart sank rapidly.
Turning around and looking around, I saw that it was a very small room with no windows, concrete walls on three sides and a door made of iron bars on the other side.
There was a dim light bulb above my head, and it was as dark as a prison cell.
The damp and rotten smell in the air was mixed with a hint of blood. The concrete walls and the ground were also stained with blood of varying ages, which was shocking to look at.
There were two simple bunk beds in the room, and I sat on the lower bunk. Opposite me was Zhao Xiaohai, who was still in a coma.
Like me, he had nothing around him and his clothes were changed into loose and worn dark blue work clothes.
This work uniform is extremely ill-fitting and is too loose. When we put it on, it's like a child wearing adult clothes.
Moreover, in addition to the smelly stains, the clothes were also stained with blood.
"Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai, wake up."
My head was still a little dizzy and my body was sore and weak, so I stumbled over and shook Zhao Xiaohai.
" Where is this..." He woke up soon and looked around blankly.
"There was something wrong with the food. After we passed out, they brought us to this damn place." I sighed and helped him up.
"They are so insidious!" Zhao Xiaohai cursed angrily. He was thin to begin with, and became even weaker after falling into a coma. He tried several times to stand up but failed.
"You take a rest first, I'll check out the situation outside."
To tell him not to act stubbornly, I walked to the iron fence and looked out.
There was no light outside, and with the pitiful light pouring out from the room, one could see that there was a long, dark corridor outside.
Opposite was a room of the same layout, with a solid iron fence at the door. There was no light inside, so I didn't know if there was anyone there.
It is quiet, eerie, depressing, dull, dirty and filthy. The environment here is like an underground pipeline.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
I lowered my voice and shouted outside.
No one responded, and everything was dead silent.
Is this the Lvcheng Electronics Factory, where the workers are detained?
I was secretly anxious, not knowing what time it was and where my phone was in the Ghost Talk Live Room. What I feared most was missing the live broadcast.
"Hello, is anyone around?"
"Can anyone tell me where this is and what time it is?"
My voice echoed in the depressing corridor.
After a while, there was finally a voice coming from the cell opposite.
"Stop shouting, it's useless."
The man's voice was ageless, deep, hoarse and full of fatigue, as if he was in torture.
"Hello! What time is it now?" I asked, holding the stained iron railing.
"Time has no meaning here. Every minute here is longer than a lifetime. No one knows what day or time it is today." The voice was weak.
"Where is this place?"
There was silence for a while from the other end of the cage before a reply came again.
"hell."
Just two short words made my heart tremble violently.
"Why do you say that? I came here to work, but they locked me up here. This is against the law. I can sue them!"
After a pause, I calmed down and shouted in a stupid manner.
"Newcomer, you are too naive! Once you enter here, don't even think about getting out alive. You can only do hard labor for the rest of your life." The person opposite seemed to be smiling bitterly.
"I've seen too many newcomers like you, but they soon regretted it and regretted not saving their energy."
"Brother, can you tell me what's going on?" The man opposite was the only one willing to talk to me, and I didn't want to miss any opportunity to understand this place.
"This is hell. What awaits you is endless suffering. When the time comes, you will find that even death is a luxury."
A hoarse voice came from the other side, and the desperate and powerless tone weighed on the heart, making it hard to breathe.
From beginning to end, the man was huddled in the dark and I couldn't see what he looked like.
I wanted to ask something else, but the man suddenly shouted in fear: "They're coming!" and stopped talking.
Just as he finished speaking, the creaking sound of a cart came from the end of the corridor, which was extremely harsh in the gloomy silence.
