Chapter 584 You know more about survival, but I know more about the abyss

"I think you'd better do some work."

Peng Wu advised.

"Even if you can't do it, just pretend a little bit, otherwise...it will be too conspicuous."

The reason why Peng Wu persuaded him was because Zheng Yu didn't work at all, and even leaned directly next to a large stone, resting openly... It was really difficult not to be noticed.

Especially the several overseers standing in the distance.

And...some old slaves.

If slaves want to survive here, it is important to choose a good job, such as this factory within the city walls.

But getting in... is not that easy.

Peng Wu's previous speculation was correct, but if Zhang Zhan hadn't been there, or if Zhang Zhan hadn't recognized Zheng Yu at all, then based on the previous supervisor's attitude, they would never have had a chance to work here.

That means that these old slaves must have a backing.

But the background is at most a guard level.

When the supervisors in the distance saw Zheng Yu's lazy actions, they did not step forward to exercise their supervisory rights to discipline him. Instead, they watched the fun from a distance.

First, because they knew that Zheng Yu and Peng Wu were sent by the guards themselves. They didn't know how close they were to Zhang Zhan, so they naturally didn't want to get into trouble.

Supervising workers, in the final analysis, is beating workers.

The guards are strong men with real power and strength.

As for slavery...it's not about people.

The second is that there is no need for them to take care of this matter at all. Although you two have a backing, no matter how big the backing is, they are only reserve guards, not even formal guards. If you dare to rest like this, other people who are also slaves will naturally I can't stand it.

They knew very well why Zheng Yu and Peng Wu were supported by guards when they first arrived.

Because the guard was just lucky and was selected by the city lord to complete the identity change in one night, from a slave to a guard with power.

But similarly, the people supporting these slaves here are also guards who have the same experience as Zhang Zhan.

"There's something good to watch."

The supervisor who had arranged work for Zheng Yu before was watching the show happily.

Several other overseers also gathered together, and some even grabbed a handful of food that looked a bit like melon seeds and handed it to others.

Watching slaves fight among themselves, bullying unprotected slaves, and squeezing slaves' wages is the only pleasure these overseers have in this frozen city with no entertainment.

"Norma passed."

"I couldn't help it once I guessed Noma."

"It's not necessarily possible to start a fight, right? After all, they all have guards as background."

"Huh, how can it be the same? His brother is a guard. This relationship is very tough. Even when I see Noma, I have to be polite. If Noma targets me, this kid will be miserable."

"The key is... let's see if this newcomer is convinced or not."

They discussed it with great interest.

At this time, Zheng Yu and Peng Wu also saw this tall slave. He led a group of slaves and walked up to Zheng Yu.

"Get up and work."

Noma stared at Zheng Yu and didn't say much, just ordered.

Zheng Yu looked up at Noma with a smile.

Didn't move.

Noma had an angry look on his face and scolded Zheng Yu in a more threatening voice: "Either get up and work, or die here."

When the word "death" came out, the only person present who made an action was not Noma, Zheng Yu, or Noma's slave, but Peng Wu.

He stood directly in front of Zheng Yu.

He opened his mouth, just about to say what he had thought of before, such as "The child is still young", "My brother has a brain problem" or "My brother is deaf" and the like.

Although such words may seem like lies at first glance, they are always of great use when he is wandering or being bullied.

But at this time, he found Zheng Yu gently pressing his shoulder, and he looked at Zheng Yu without saying a word.

do not know why.

He looked at this frail young man and felt a huge sense of security in his heart.

And he couldn't understand the boy's eyes.

It was a look that showed absolute trust in oneself.

But why does being trusted by a young man make him feel such a strange sense of honor? Peng Wu couldn't understand.

"Your name is Norma?"

Zheng Yu comforted Peng Wu and gave Peng Wu a ban. This was Canglong's advanced spell, so no one here, including Peng Wu, noticed it.

"you know me?"

Noma asked suspiciously.

Zheng Yu directly pointed at the supervisors who were talking behind him and said with a smile: "From what they said, your brother is a guard and my brother is also a guard. We are in the same situation."

Noma glanced at the supervisors in the distance, and there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, because the supervisors Zheng Yu pointed at were very far away from them.

From such a long distance, it was difficult to see exactly how many of them there were, let alone hear their whispers.

Noma immediately judged that Zheng Yu was not as simple as he seemed at all.

"It's not the same."

Noma stared at Zheng Yu and said, "I will only tell you two points."

"First, that's my brother."

"Second, as I said before, either work or leave this factory."

Zheng Yu looked at Noma with a smile, "I remember what you just said was you have to work or die."

Noma said in a deep voice: "If I give you a step, you should roll down it instead of seeking death."

"Ah."

Zheng Yu chuckled lightly.

This contemptuous attitude frightened Peng Wu beside him.

Dude, have you always been so brave?

"You said two things, then I will also say two things."

"First, your brother may not die for you, but if you dare to touch me, my brother will dare to eat you and your brother alive. Trust me."

"Second, I want to divide this factory..."

Zheng Yu made a gesture of rubbing his fingers and counting money, "You know."

Seeing that Noma could no longer suppress his anger, Zheng Yu continued without any worry: "I looked at the slave list. It seems that you have been here for three years. You haven't left the frozen city in three years, and you haven't even thought about it. To escape slavery.”

"It seems... this factory is really rich in oil and water."

"I don't want much, half."

"Don't reject me in a hurry. Go back and tell your brother that I don't want more than half of it. Unless he wants to kill everyone and make money for everyone and make us prosperous together, why bother to use knives and guns?"

Zheng Yu's few words directly made Noma fall into deep thought.

Because he really can't make the decision in this matter.

More importantly, the boy in front of him was a type of slave that Noma had never seen before. How could any slave dare to speak like this?

This made him have to think about whether he really wanted to listen to Zheng Yu and talk to his brother first.

Anyway, the opponent can't run away, so in the worst case, just kill him.

The main thing is to test the strength of the guard behind this slave, and whether he will really fight for this little slave as he said.

So, in front of everyone, Noma let Zheng Yu go and turned around to leave.

This shocked the surrounding slaves.

The supervisor in the distance looked even more confused.

"Is this wrong?"

"It's not the new slave who relented, but Norma let him go?"

"Perhaps there is some kind of cooperation? After all, this factory is mainly managed by Noma's brother Noson."

"But I feel that based on Northam's temper, it is impossible for him to let other guards get involved here. Weren't there other guards who wanted to cooperate before? It's not like you don't know the final result."

"I don't understand. Anyway... this show is better."

The supervisors did not realize that the danger was coming quietly, but they were even more looking forward to the next development.

Beside Zheng Yu, Peng Wu looked at Zheng Yu with a complicated expression.

Zheng Yu smiled and said, "You can ask whatever you want, right?"

"Is Zhang Zhan really your brother?"

Zheng Yu thought for a moment.

He calls Zhang Zhan brother, and Zhang Zhan calls him captain. They all have their own affairs, which is no problem.

"Um."

Zheng Yu confirmed.

"hiss--"

"Didn't you tell me earlier?"

Peng Wu said speechlessly.
