Human Shackles

The vegetable market in the early morning was extremely noisy. The four- to five-meter-long fence gate was packed with people and there were four or five long queues. The long queues stretched all the way to the street. Most of the people who queued up early in the morning were women and old women. They had already queued up. Experience, take a small bench and chatter about the parents' shortcomings.

Luo Kai was a little sleepy in one of the queues. He didn't know how long it had been before he smelled a fresh orchid-like fragrance in his nose. He opened his eyes and saw a young man standing in a queue next to him. Girl, the girl has jet black hair, fair complexion, delicate face, body like a willow tree, a bit too beautiful.

Luo Kai's energy and blood surged up unconsciously. This was the effect of accelerating the secretion of hormones in his body. Although he was already forty or fifty years old in his heart, his young body was extremely energetic. Seeing the beautiful opposite sex His heart beat faster unconsciously, and he stared at the girl blankly for a long time.

The girl noticed Luo Kai's wanton gaze and turned her head to give him a roll of her eyes. Her slender neck shone whitely in the early sun, like a proud white swan.

Luo Kai lowered his head in embarrassment and murmured to himself, why he looked like a fool.

Luo Kai bought meat just before noon, three kilograms of fatty pork belly. Now he was not in a hurry to go back to cook. He parked his dilapidated tricycle at the entrance of the vegetable market like other cart drivers. There would be a lot of people, but Luo Kai was not like Other drivers take the initiative to solicit customers, and whether they get business or not depends on luck.

In the afternoon, the crowds became sparse. Luo Kai tightened his collar and lay in the car and began to fall asleep again.

"Are you going to Puming Iron Works?" A crisp voice sounded in my ears.

Luo Kai was shocked and quickly raised his head. In front of him was a graceful figure, the beautiful girl.

Luo Kai was a little embarrassed, because the Puming Iron Works was in the northeast corner of Longyang County, which was very remote. It would take a long time to go back and forth. He looked reluctant, but he said honestly: "Go!"

The girl was carrying several big bags by herself. After seeing Luo Kai's appearance clearly, she recognized that he was the young man from just now. She frowned slightly. She wanted to turn around and leave, but there were too few coachmen willing to go to Puming Iron Works, so she hesitated. Next he asked: "How much?"

"One hundred." Luo Kaishi said loudly. Generally, the price in the city is around thirty stars, but going to Puming Iron Works will definitely require extra money for the round trip.

The girl didn't bargain. She put the bag on the car pantingly and looked at the broken body of the car looking for a place to sit.

Luo Kai hurriedly stood up a small folding bench: "Sit here."

With a gust of fragrant wind, the girl stepped onto the carriage, and Luo Kai immediately started pedaling hard.

Nowadays, the bicycle army has reoccupied the human city. Luo Bi is very skilled and strong. He rides the wheels like Hot Wheels through the streets and alleys at extremely fast speeds.

The girl grabbed the horizontal bar with a nervous look on her face, and finally couldn't help but say: "You...slow down."

Luo Kai turned around and smiled sheepishly at her, slowly reduced his speed, and at the same time took out a map from his pocket and studied the nearest route while riding.

Puming Iron Works is affiliated to the Grand Lord's Palace of Star and Horse Country. It is the largest steel manufacturer in Longyang County. It is involved in both upstream and downstream industries. It not only produces various civilian machinery, but also produces firearms, bullets, steam tanks and other military equipment. , with extremely huge financial resources, the treatment of such a top business group is naturally extremely generous. It is said that there are many places for overseas exchanges every year.

Luo Kai scratched his head. With the rate at which he was making money now, he might not be able to raise enough money to apply for a passport. Finding some large business groups might be the only way. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Then... …That girl, are you a worker at Puming Iron Works?”

The girl glanced at him and nodded: "Yes."

"Hmm... Is your factory still hiring?"

The girl curled her lips and said, "Our factory is only recruiting technical school students now." The implication is that you, a tricycle rider, are not qualified to join the job.

Luo Kai sighed secretly. It seemed that he still wanted to think of other ways. He thought about it in his heart. In addition to making money to go to Dongyuan Shangguo, he was also thinking about what he would do in the future. He disdained using illegal means to find a way out. There are very few channels.

There are probably only two ways out for civilian children in this world, one is to go to school, and the other is to be a soldier. If you go to school, you can choose sports schools and engineering schools. Sports schools focus on the cultivation of physical fitness, and the best among them have the opportunity to learn physical skills. , but the tuition of sports schools is high, and if you want to practice physical skills successfully, you need a lot of money to buy genetic medicines, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Generally speaking, only nobles and the middle and upper classes will go to sports schools.

There are also engineering schools, where students learn various types of mechanical technology and biological knowledge. Outstanding students have the opportunity to enter the Biogenetic Research Institute and the Mechanical Research Institute. Students in engineering schools are not affected by external financial capabilities and have more opportunities to display their talents. , is the best choice for civilian children.

Another way out is to become a soldier. Nowadays, the major lords are constantly arguing, and small-scale conflicts occur from time to time. In order to compete for the dominance of the iron ore veins, Star Horse Kingdom and its neighboring countries have been recruiting troops on a large scale all year round. The military uses a large number of genes Medications and official positions reward meritorious soldiers, but the Tieheng battlefield is known as a meat grinder. On average, tens of thousands of soldiers die there every year. This is a way out that requires life to gain a future.

The girl saw Luo Kai's side face full of melancholy, which aroused her sympathy. She hesitated and whispered: "Actually, our factory also recruits ordinary workers, but it costs money. You have to ask yourself for details."

Luo Kai turned back and smiled at her: "Thank you. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com"

While they were talking, they had already reached a small alley. Two men with sinister faces suddenly rushed out of the alley, stopped in front of the car and shouted: "Stop, boy, do you hear me tell you to stop?"

Luo Kai frowned and stopped.

The two men were wearing loose khaki coats, holding cigarettes in their mouths full of yellow teeth. Their eyes were staring at the girl, and they were almost crying.

Without even looking at Luo Kai, the two of them walked up and gathered in front of the car. One of the men couldn't help but touch the girl's little hand: "Sister, how about making a friend."

The girl's face was full of nervousness. She stood up quickly and yelled: "Go away, I'm going to call someone!"

The public security in this city is extremely poor. Luo Kai has felt the same in the past two months, but this is the first time he has encountered a woman being molested in broad daylight. He rang the car bell and interjected: "Give way, it's none of my business if you bump into her!"

The two men then turned their attention to Luo Kai, rolled up their sleeves, and said with fierce expressions: "You are looking for a fight, right? Get out of here."

Luo Kai never talked nonsense, and suddenly jumped up and grabbed the hair of the two men. One of the men was dragged from the left to the right, pulled from mid-air, and then hit the ground hard, making their heads and Come to a close contact with the earth.

There was a "bang", smoke and dust flew everywhere, and two strong men were lying on the ground with blood on their faces, with only the air coming in and no air coming out.

This set of actions was extremely simple, crude, and extremely vicious. The girl screamed, jumped out of the car, and ran away without looking back.

Luo Kai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, we haven't arrived at the iron factory yet...don't you want your things?"

The latter sentence had an effect. The girl stopped and returned slowly step by step. Her eyes looking at Luo Kai were full of fear.
