Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 475 475 Raw Cooking
"It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over..." Looking at the scene in front of him, a farmer who fled from Chu State whispered in despair.

He had just been escorted to cross the wooden bridge following the dense crowd of people and came to the territory of the Tang Kingdom, and then he saw the terrifying scene in front of him.

Everyone lined up in a long line, followed one by one like prisoners, were diverted by soldiers with weapons, and then lined up to have their hair cut...

That kind of haircut looks scary!As long as it is a man, all of them require their long hair to be tidied up—those barbers seem to be crazy, and they cut a man's head shiny in a few strokes.

He swears that he has never cut his hair like this in his life. In his opinion, this process is more like the process of shearing sheep in a landlord's house.

Not to mention that after the hair was cut, they were arranged to soak in scalding hot water, just like the process of slaughtering pigs and plucking their hair in the village.In his opinion, they are about to be slaughtered to make buns, or eaten directly!
In fact, he really wanted to escape and resist, but he really didn't dare—because someone had already tried.

On both sides of them, there is a kind of thin wire made of iron, which looks fragile around it, and there are some small barbs on it, which are sharp and scary.

Someone was terrified by the scene of "cooking a living person" just now, and wanted to escape by jumping over the flimsy wire circle, but ended up hanging on it.

It was really tragic that you can't live or die. The people hanging on the barbed wire cried and begged for mercy. The more they struggled, the more bloody and bloody they were. The soldiers helped him out of trouble.

When it was picked off, the man had only humming strength left, his body was covered with dense wounds, and some places were repeatedly torn, which made people feel cold on the soles of their feet.

He used to be a soldier, and now he is more than 50 years old. He took a closer look at the bloodshot iron nets, and then he gasped in shock.

This thing looks soft, but there is no way for people to rely on it. Once they jump on it, they can't get rid of it even if they pull it. The barbs on it penetrate into the flesh.

What's more frightening is that because of the lack of force, this thing is difficult to break with a knife and axe, and it is even more difficult to climb than a wall.

As far as the disadvantages are concerned, this thing must be extremely expensive and requires a lot of steel, so most people will definitely not use it on a large scale.

But when the old farmer looked at the endless barbed wire, he sighed and didn't know what terrible place he was.

In the end, he still had to stand in front of a huge wooden barrel, and was supervised by a soldier in despair before he got in.

There was indeed boiling hot water inside, and the moment he entered the barrel, he felt that his whole body was about to be cooked.But after a tingling pain, followed by a long-lost comfort.

There were stubbles of hair floating on the water surface of the wooden barrel. After soaking for a few minutes, he was finally allowed to get up, and then got out of the bucket with his bare buttocks, and walked awkwardly to the next level.

There are only men here, so everyone sees each other naked, some only have skin and bones, and some still have some muscles that look very healthy.

Everyone followed one by one. First, they walked to a booth full of underpants. Everyone was asked to put on a pair of underwear, and then took another pair, and continued to move forward with the flow of people.

After getting two pairs of underpants, the old farmer who had served as a soldier finally breathed a sigh of relief: no one gave underpants to the animals that were going to be slaughtered for hair removal, so it seemed that they still had a way out.

Follow the crowd to the next level and everyone gets a new pair of pants!This suddenly shocked everyone.

They had just fled to the Tang Kingdom, but before they did anything, they were given a pair of pants. What kind of kindness is this?
The people who got the trousers went on and each got a jacket. When they came here, everyone started to look like a dog. They were not qualified to wear such decent clothes when they were in the state of Chu.

Over there, if they have a piece of clothing with few patches on them, they can already be said to be doing well.

But now, they are clean and wearing brand new clothes. Although everyone wears the same clothes, at least the clothes look really good.

What makes them even more excited is that these clothes have left and right pockets, and the underwear they receive can be stuffed into the pockets.

Faintly, someone could be heard shouting something, and thick smoke was rising from a farther place, and it seemed that something was burning.

It wasn't until they got closer that they could see clearly that they were burning old clothes, tattered bedding and shoes that had just been ripped off from them.

Everything seemed to be burned like a plague. It seemed that the Tang Kingdom didn't want to see any broken things appear in its territory.

Going on further, I heard clearly what the people over there were shouting. It turned out that they were repeatedly shouting some demands: "Answer the questions seriously later! Don't hide anything! This is related to your future quality of life! It is related to the amount of materials that can be obtained!"

"Answer the question seriously later! Don't hide anything! This is related to your future quality of life! It is also related to the amount of supplies you can get!" After the old farmer took a few steps forward, someone shouted again with a loudspeaker stand up.

Soon, he saw his daughter, who was actually wearing the same clothes as him.When they were just separated, both of them thought that they would never see each other again in this life, but they did not expect to reunite here.

"Do you know him?" A female soldier with a gun grabbed the old farmer's daughter and asked loudly, "Make sure!"

There are too many people here, and there are family members who are crying and happy to be reunited everywhere, so it is as noisy as a vegetable market.

"He is my father!" The daughter shouted excitedly.

"I am her father! I am her father!" The old farmer also shouted together.

The female soldier let go of her hand and waved her arm to signal them to continue walking forward.Then another male soldier also moved out of the way, and soon stopped the next person.

The not-so-big open space was full of people looking for their family members, but all of this seemed to have nothing to do with the old farmer and his daughter.

At this time, the road was obviously much wider. Families were crowded together, afraid of being separated, and walked forward cautiously.

Soon, they passed the first fork, and there was a gap in the barbed wire fence, and the soldiers standing at the gap kept shouting, "Come here for those who can read! Come here for those who can write!"

Almost no one stayed here. Although the old farmer could write a few words, he was indeed not a cultural person who could read and write, so he continued to walk forward.

After walking a few steps, I heard someone shouting again: "Blacksmith! Those who know how to smelt can come here!"

The old farmer saw that a strong man stopped here with a large family. After a few casual conversations, the family was allowed to walk into the fork in the road.

"Anyone who knows how to farm! Come here!" Soon, after passing a few forks in the road, the old farmer heard someone loudly asking about his sensitive word "farming".

So he raised his hand and shouted loudly: "I! I can farm!"

When he thought about it, he would definitely be assigned to a certain landlord's home, become that landlord's slave, and then do farm work for this landlord for the rest of his life.

But he really thought too much.

He and his daughter were quickly assigned to a barracks, which seemed to be the camp where Zheng Guo's frontier troops were stationed before.Although they were only separated by curtains, they were finally settled down, and then they were quarantined for up to 10 days.

Here they have two meals a day, and they eat rice and pasta, which they never dared to think about before. This kind of quality of life, they never dared to think about before.

In the past, he was willing to eat two meals only when the farming season was busy, but his thin and dry daughter used to only eat one meal a day.

This is not the case with his family. In the state of Chu, ordinary people and women generally only eat one meal a day.

Every day, people spray unpleasant disinfectant in the camp, and every day, people take the trouble to confirm what each of them is good at.Women are repeatedly asked if they are willing to learn skills such as weaving, and men are repeatedly confirmed whether they are willing to join the national defense reserve.

When everyone thought that these Tang people were crazy, they were dispersed and transported away in batches, and then placed in various places.

It wasn't until this time that the old farmers realized that what they had repeatedly confirmed before would really affect their future lives.

In this way, he and his daughter were arranged on a farm and had their own log cabin.Then they were assigned a piece of farmland that was neither good nor bad, and then received well-made farm tools.

Early the next morning, an old man who is familiar with farming came to the door with seeds. One was to check whether the newcomers were really able to farm the land, and the other was to distribute the seeds and hand over the tasks.

After the old man who came to the door confirmed that the old farmer was indeed a good farmer, he left enough seeds and left with ten days' rations.

This is the farm's regulation, and only a maximum of ten days' rations are distributed to prevent the newcomers from continuing to flee with food.

After more than a month of tossing, after more than 30 days of fear and fear, this old farmer from Chu State was completely relieved.

Because the water tank at his door was already full of water, and a sack of grain was leaning against his wooden bed!

The last time he had water in the tank and rice in the hall was ten years ago.When his wife was still alive, he could still carry the heavy Cyric flintlock...
