Chapter 694 Irritation (Update 1)
Soon, under the scorching sun, Su Bai and the other two sat on the ground, eating the food distributed. In order to maximize their strength, a lot of meat was added to the food. Except for the taste, there was nothing to complain about.
Huh~~
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. The only thing that was gratifying about pulling this ghost thing was eating. Apart from this, there was nothing good.
"Get up! Get up! It's time to work."
A series of roars came, and a soldier shouted with an electric whip in his hand.
The laborers around got up from the ground one after another.
"It's our turn so soon?"
Su Bai's mouth twitched slightly, and his face was not very good.
"It seems so. It should be that the last team that rotated is not very stamina." Digahalu said simply.
"Why are you guys still standing there! Don't think about being lazy. Believe it or not, I will beat you to death."
Several soldiers picked up the electric whip and pointed at Su Bai and the others.
Su Bai and the other two quickly followed the crowd and walked towards the chain.
"Go faster! Go forward."
As a result, the soldiers followed Su Bai and drove him.
It wasn't long before Su Bai and the other two were driven to the front. Su Bai subconsciously raised his head and looked at the round boulder. This was the first time he had seen the stone so closely. The surface of the stone was not smooth, but covered with a lot of bumps, just like round door nails.
"Come on, everyone, be alert, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The soldiers around him cursed.
Su Bai came to his senses and pretended to pull hard. He didn't want to be beaten. He couldn't pull it anymore. If he was beaten again, he would be finished.
"Try harder! Haven't you eaten?!"
The soldiers around him seemed very dissatisfied and kept scolding.
"Fuck, are these guys crazy?"
Su Bai cursed inwardly. Under normal circumstances, these soldiers should not be so strict.
"They are not crazy. There are big shots coming to inspect."
Rainjaken reminded.
Su Bai looked up and saw Maxi walking towards this side with Lopez in the distance.
"It seems that luck is really not very good, it's that chick again!"
Then Su Bai hurriedly lowered his head and pulled.
"Don't worry, Lord Lopez, I will never delay the journey, in order to make the labor work to the greatest effect. Based on the situation I have explored in the past few days, I have organized the labor groups of different physiques. Now we see that this group of laborers are all No. 1 labor team. This labor team is physically strong. I will give them a lot of high-energy food, and then increase their workload and reduce the workload of those weaker labor teams."
Martinxi kept introducing.
Lopez did not reply to Martinxi's words, but walked to the tray, looking at the round boulder in front of him, his curved eyebrows slightly raised.
Martinxi saw that Lopez did not speak, and he shut his mouth very tactfully, so as not to anger Lord Lopez.
At this time, Su Bai, who was pulling the chain next to him, was almost cursing in his heart. No wonder he always felt that time passed so quickly, it turned out that this bastard was making trouble!
Lopez said coldly: "Martinsi."
"Yes"
Martinsi's heart was hanging when he saw Lopez calling him.
"Do what you should do. The Empire will not treat anyone unfairly."
"Yes! Yes!"
Martinsi showed an ecstatic expression on his face.
At this time, at the front of the team, the commander of the Sin Bone Corps, Romagus, was talking to a sergeant.
"Commander, someone said bad things about you to the Emperor, saying that you did not do a good job and did not enslave the Star Devourer well, causing it to run away and causing a large number of casualties, and delaying the escort time. If it weren't for the intervention of the commander of the Magic Energy Corps, maybe the things would still be in the pit and not be transported out."
"Damn it! That bastard said that."
Romagus was full of murderous aura, and his teeth were itching with anger.
The subordinates beside him hurriedly advised: "Don't be angry, Commander. It's useless to be angry now. Our top priority now is to find a way to speed up the progress and arrive at the imperial capital as soon as possible, so that we can shut up those guys."
"I know."
Romagus suppressed his anger and turned to walk towards the Magic Corps. The previous battle plan of the Sin Bone Corps to attack the Rhine Free State was already flawed, and the Emperor was already very dissatisfied. Although the setback in the escort was not his own fault, no one could say whether the Emperor would blame him for this.
So he had to go to Lopez to discuss the progress with her. He had to speed up.
Soon Romagus came to the small mobile command fortress of the Magic Corps.
"Lord Romagus."
The guarding sergeant saluted and stopped Romagus.
"I'm here to find Lord Lopez."
Although Romagus was a little annoyed because he was stopped, it was not the time to care.
"My Lord, Commander Lopez is not here."
"Where is she?"
Romagus was a little surprised. He stared at the sergeant in front of him. He was a little suspicious that these guys were just perfunctory.
"Lopez is inspecting the strange stone. If you have anything, you can go to her directly."
The sergeant in front of him replied calmly.
Romagus' expression eased a lot when he heard the words of the sergeant in front of him.
"I know."
Then Romagus turned and left, and his subordinates behind him couldn't help asking.
"Commander, then we go to find Lord Lopez?"
"I'll find her later, after she finishes her patrol."
Now Romagus didn't want to get too close to the strange stone.
In the dark night, Su Bai lay on the ground, looking at the stars and trying to fall asleep, but he was extremely irritable, even though he was not feeling unwell.
Today is the fifteenth day. According to the normal speed, they should have walked two-thirds of the way, but it was just as Digahalu expected, they only walked half of the way, and the speed was getting slower and slower.
Su Bai sat up and looked at his side. Rengaken and Digahalu were both sleeping soundly. The nearby laborers also lay on the ground tiredly and fell asleep. Except for a few patrolling soldiers, the whole area seemed very quiet.
A breeze blew past, bringing a hint of coolness, but unfortunately the wind not only did not calm Su Bai's irritability, but made him more restless. Su Bai closed his eyes and tried to adjust his state.
Hiss~~
An inexplicable sound echoed in Su Bai's mind.
The restlessness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He felt as if something was calling him. Su Bai suddenly opened his eyes and gasped.
His eyes accidentally fell on the round boulder on the platform in the distance.
In a trance.
The round boulder turned into a ferocious eyeball, staring straight at him. In an instant, Su Bai felt as if his soul was seen through.
Su Bai's heart shrank violently, and the whole person woke up. The round boulder was still a round boulder.
