Chapter 449 Placement of Mortals
Everyone rested for a day in Yunxia Mountain, and finally relieved the fatigue during this period.
Xu Lun came to find Wang Hong early in the morning. Although he does not lead a team now, he is in charge of logistics and many chores.
"Boss, those miners have been released, how should we deal with them?"
In the small mine on the opposite side, tens of thousands of people were forced into it by the monster race, almost killing all the surrounding humans.
"We will recruit 2,000 young and strong people to mine, and let the others return to their original places of residence.
We are all humans, so don’t treat them too harshly. For those who leave, give them a piece of food. "
These people were robbed and came here. Let them go back empty-handed at this moment. They probably starved to death on the way.
The food in Wang Hong's team was of the worst quality, and it was made from low-level monster meat. For mortals, just one serving would last them for several months without starving to death.
At the foot of the mountain outside the mine, tens of thousands of people are crowded here.
They were all ragged and skinny, but at the moment they seemed very excited because they were saved again.
The reason for this is because I was rescued once before, but unfortunately, after returning home for less than a year, this place was once again occupied by monsters, and they were captured again.
After these years of devastation, the survivors have already despaired, knowing that the world has changed, and mortals will no longer have the peaceful and peaceful days before.
But this time is different. After killing the monsters here, these immortal masters seem to plan to live for a long time.
Although there used to be immortal masters living here, even though they admired them at that time, the two sides had no intersection, and always felt that it had nothing to do with them.
When there are no more immortal masters here, and monsters occupy this place, bringing them endless disasters, only then do they understand the importance of immortal cultivators to mortals.
As long as there are immortal masters living here, there will be no more monsters to harm mortals like them in the future.
These immortal masters seem to be quite kind, and distributed food to them yesterday. Although the portion is not much, after eating it, it seems that they have endless power.
Moreover, they have lived for decades, and they have never tasted such a delicious taste, that taste... tsk tsk! Let people never forget.
At this time, they saw an immortal master, with a gentle temperament, who came from the sky with a flying sword on his feet.
"Neighbors! Our master has an order that you are free to return to your original place of residence. The master is kind and will give each of you a spiritual meal to ease the urgent need."
"Thank you Master Immortal!"
"Thanks…"
As soon as Xu Lun finished speaking, a group of them fell to their knees. These people have been captured by the monster clan for several years. Even if they returned to their hometown, the fields would have been barren and their homes would be barren.
Unexpectedly, the immortal master would give them a piece of food, at least to keep them from starving to death for a short time.
"In addition, we still need to recruit 2,000 young and strong miners, and whether to sign up is entirely voluntary.
All miners who are recruited are provided with food and housing, and are paid monthly in grain or gold and silver according to their performance.
Those who perform well will also be rewarded with spiritual food. The so-called spiritual food is the kind of food you ate before.
Those who want to sign up, hurry up! "
"Me! I want to sign up!" A skinny young man said loudly.
"I want to sign up too!" An old man with gray temples said tremblingly.
"And me! I'm still very strong!" A thin woman with high cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and protruding teeth also said loudly.
"I also want…"
These people don't care whether they are young or not. Anyway, everyone is skinny. No one is really stronger. As long as they can eat enough, everyone can grit their teeth and exert their strength.
Although mining is still the same as before, blind people can also see that the treatment is different now. In addition to food and housing, they can even distribute food as compensation. This is a hope for survival in troubled times.
In the past, when mining, in addition to not being able to eat enough and sleep well, one had to be on guard all the time, so as not to be swallowed by that monster.
Seeing the turbulent applicants, Xu Lun felt his head was as big as a bucket.
Finally, 2,000 people with some flesh were barely selected from these people.
Those who were selected were proud, while those who were not selected were downcast.
Seeing this situation, Xu Lun thought for a while and then said.
"Since the neighbors are so enthusiastic, we do have some things that we would like to ask you to help.
We are new here, and there are still many things to do, so we can temporarily hire 5,000 people. "
He thought, they have just arrived here, and there are still many chores, some of which are competent for ordinary people, such as opening up wasteland and leveling the fields.
Employing more people is equivalent to giving these people an extra way of life.
Then 5,000 people were selected from among these people, and the rest had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
Before these people left, at the place where food was distributed to everyone, Xu Lun took out a spirit plate and let everyone under the age of 20 touch it to test whether there is someone with a better spiritual root qualification.
Since there is such an opportunity, everyone is naturally eager to participate, and everyone hopes that they can also have the opportunity to become a fairy teacher.
After screening everyone, they actually found three people with acceptable spiritual root aptitude.
"What are the names of the three of you?" Xu Lun asked, looking at the three emaciated people in front of him.
"Report to Immortal Master, this junior is named Xie Xiaocao."
An eleven or twelve-year-old child with withered hair replied, as for whether it was a man or a woman, Xu Lun hadn't figured it out for a while, so he wouldn't use his divine sense to scan for such a thing.
"The junior's name is Ren Chong."
"Junior Lin Sheng."
The three of them reported their names one after another, and Xu Lun took them to see Wang Hong.
"Boss! I have already dealt with the mortals at the foot of the mountain. In addition, I recruited three teenagers who have spiritual roots and can cultivate immortals."
After saluting, Xu Lun waved to the outside again: "You three, come in and meet the owner."
The three of them walked in, Natou bowed: "Meet the immortal master!"
"Get up, you will be like everyone else in the future, just call me boss."
After the three got up, the young man named Xie Xiaocao bowed down again after seeing Wang Hong's appearance:
"Thank you, my boss, for saving my life!"
"You know me?" Wang Hong had no impression of the young man in front of him.
"Outside Jingnan City, Engong rescued Xiaocao under the claws of beasts." Xie Xiaocao explained.
It was only then that Wang Hong remembered that he had indeed saved a little girl named Xiaocao on the way to Taihaozong.
It's just that it's been a long time, and the girl's eighteen changes, even though he has a strong memory, he still didn't recognize it for a while.
Unexpectedly, the little girl who looked so cute back then is now dark and thin, with withered and yellow hair.
