Chapter 1272 Chu Chen was taken into the cave
Seeing that Chu Chen was so cooperative, the three of them immediately lowered their guard.
The man with the gun on his waist, in particular, seemed to look down on Chu Chen, not even glancing at him.
Two men walked over and searched Chu Chen, but found nothing. Moreover, his clothes were very thin, so they immediately lost interest.
Then he turned to the man with the gun on his back and said, "Brother, you're penniless, but you're in good shape. You're wearing so little, yet you haven't frozen to death!"
"Then take him back and let him dig for snow crystals. Also, I want the snowmobile!"
Chu Chen originally planned to take down the three men and then find out the location of their headquarters.
But upon hearing the words "digging for snow crystals," he immediately changed his mind.
He put on a pitiful look and said, "Gentlemen, please don't kill me. I'm strong and healthy, and I'm willing to work."
"Well, you're smart to come with us. We'll take you to the assembly point."
After saying that, the man with the gun on his back got on Chu Chen's snowmobile, while the other two jogged behind him with Chu Chen on his back.
About half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the foot of a large mountain next to Shacheng, opened a cave, and led Chu Chen inside.
Seeing that this group of people lived in a cave, Chu Chen thought of them with even greater respect.
Compared to the Seoul gang, these people know how to find a place.
While the city was snowbound outside, the cave remained warm and comfortable. With sufficient supplies, living inside was perfectly feasible.
Further on, after passing through a narrow opening that could only accommodate two people, the inside suddenly became brightly lit.
Chu Chen was surprised to find that they still had electricity.
However, considering that although there was no obvious sunlight overhead today, it was still daytime, I understand that solar power, wind power, and so on can all be utilized.
So it's not surprising that they can afford electricity.
Inside the cave, people came and went, and the population inside was much larger than that of the Seoul gang.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but start to wonder if this was a gang or a human gathering point.
Soon after, Chu Chen was led by the three men into a small doorway once again. There, two men carrying automatic rifles stared at Chu Chen with smiles on their faces.
"Oh, another new person?"
"Hehe, we caught a hoodlum who was out there. We just happened to need some manpower for collecting snow crystals, so we brought him over."
The three of them chatted familiarly while looking at the guards, while Chu Chen remained expressionless.
Before long, Chu Chen was led into a cave by the three of them.
Upon entering, Chu Chen saw a group of ragged people sitting inside, their faces expressionless and their eyes vacant.
There are old and young, men and women.
When Chu Chen entered, the crowd didn't make any move, as if it were a normal occurrence.
"You, go squat over there. Every day, someone will provide you with food. Tomorrow morning, join the others to collect snow crystals!"
After saying that, the three of them turned and left, ignoring Chu Chen who had just entered.
Chu Chen obediently walked to the designated spot and squatted down. Beside him, a man and a woman glanced at Chu Chen and then lost interest.
Because at this moment, Chu Chen, wearing the clothes of this body, although he had eaten well these past few days and his complexion had improved, still looked like a refugee.
Chu Chen looked left and right.
Seeing that no one was speaking, he gave up the idea of trying to find out more information.
About three hours later, suddenly, the crowd began to stir.
Suddenly, the man and woman beside Chu Chen seemed to gain strength, stood up, and rushed towards the door.
Chu Chen looked up and immediately understood the reason.
At the entrance, two men carrying weapons were banging on a large barrel filled with an unidentified black substance.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
After saying that, the two of them didn't open the iron gate at the door, but simply dumped the two buckets of stuff on the ground.
Looking at this scene, one word immediately popped into Chu Chen's mind: feeding pigs.
No, it's even worse than feeding pigs. At least when you feed pigs, there's a stone trough!
However, in order to appear to be like everyone else, Chu Chen stood up, strode forward, pushed through the crowd, picked up a black, bun-like object from the ground, and returned to his original position.
Meanwhile, the others, in their quest to snatch a "steamed bun," unleashed a variety of skills.
In an instant, human brains turned into dog brains.
Several tall men broke through the encirclement, each holding one or two "steamed buns" in their hands.
Chu Chen frowned as he glanced at the "steamed bun" in his hand, and immediately lost interest.
Just as he was thinking of quietly getting rid of her, the woman who had been beside him returned. A trace of blood on her nose indicated that she hadn't fared well.
Moreover, his hands were empty, except for black residue on his mouth.
A short while later, the man returned, holding half a black steamed bun in his hand, looking like a victorious rooster.
Sitting next to Chu Chen, he picked up a black steamed bun, smelled it intensely under his nose, and then carefully put it into his mouth.
Is this a human gathering point? Chu Chen looked around at everything with some skepticism.
The next moment, his eyes met those of the woman beside him.
The woman stared blankly at him, then her gaze moved downwards, finally landing on the black steamed bun in Chu Chen's hand.
"You didn't get any food?"
Chu Chen asked.
"Sir, I'm just a woman... I really can't compete with them!"
Chu Chen chuckled and handed over the black steamed bun in his hand: "Then you eat it, I'm not hungry!"
"No, no, I'll be grateful if you give me half. If I don't eat, I won't have the strength to work tomorrow and I'll freeze to death in the snow."
Chu Chen didn't say anything, but instead stuffed the steamed bun into her stomach: "Stop talking nonsense, just take it!"
The woman stared blankly at the food in her arms, and the next moment, she began to sob softly.
Then he nodded and bowed repeatedly to Chu Chen, saying, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
After saying that, she picked up the black steamed bun and ate it in big bites.
After finishing her meal, she swallowed hard, as if trying to swallow the food more easily.
Then she looked at Chu Chen and whispered, "Sir, you're new here and don't know the rules. You've kindly helped me today. Tomorrow, you can come with me. I know the place and can complete the mission and come back faster."
Chu Chen nodded after listening: "Okay, then I'll become your apprentice tomorrow!"
After saying that, he gave her a big smile.
Perhaps seeing Chu Chen's optimism, the woman also showed a slight smile, but more than that, it was a bitter smile.
