The concrete floor was cold and a little damp, and sitting on it made Mikey's butt hurt.
After being captured back in the garage in the morning, he was sent here not long after with his brother.
Then, the young Asian man disappeared again.
This room must have been unoccupied for a long time. Except for the yellowed white and gray walls around it and the gray and black cement floor, there is nothing else.
Compared to the small garage, the space here is obviously much wider, but the air is not good, with a smell of decaying dust.
But compared to the air on 37th Street that smells like a stinky ditch and exudes the rotten sour smell all day long, this dusty smell is nothing to mention.
Compared with my small, dilapidated wooden house, this place can already be regarded as a "mansion".
Sitting on the ground, moving his numb legs, and looking at the complaining eyes of the brothers around him, Mikey snorted disdainfully.
A bunch of ignorant fools have no idea what an opportunity this is.
Although the current appearance of the brothers was all caused by Mikey himself, Mikey did not feel guilty at all.
After all, he already knew the "truth."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Matthew and Bol, the only three people he knew about.
Although Matthew was valued by Yang Jie, he was not given special treatment. This calm child had his hands tied behind his back. When he saw his elder brother winking at him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, closed his eyes and stopped looking. .
The other one, Bol, looked a little worried, probably worried about his sister.
No one paid any attention to him, so Mikey turned his head boredly and looked at his brother.
Abe is only thirteen years old, younger than Matthew and the youngest of the group of children.
But he was very clever. From the very beginning, he judged through observation that the Wasteland Walkers were very wealthy.
Likewise, it was he and Matthew who persuaded him not to steal - although Mikey didn't listen.
Since the death of their parents, Mikey and Abe have been living together. At that time, Abe was only ten years old and Mikey was only thirteen.
Without his parents, Mikey had to support Abe little by little by doing odd jobs, doing odd jobs, and even stealing things for three years.
The relationship between the two is quite good. Abe listens to his brother very much. Even though his brother disagrees with his "stealing money" plan, he still follows his actions.
To be honest, although Mikey now feels at ease and knows that he will definitely not die, when he was caught just now, he was really frightened.
Especially after hearing Yang Jie say that he wanted to kill Abe, he felt that his heartbeat almost stopped.
Even thinking about it now, Mikey still felt a little scared.
At the same time, he also sincerely lamented his good luck.
“Crack!
"Squeak~"
Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden movement from the iron door of the room. The old iron door had not been maintained for a long time. The door shaft was already somewhat rusty, and it made a heartbreaking squeaking sound when it turned.
Light shone into the house, drawing everyone's attention to the door, including Mikey.
The strong man walked into the house with a pile of steel pipes in his hands, and the other two people followed closely, each holding a pile of tools in their hands.
coming! finally come!
Mikey looked at the three people who walked into the house, feeling another wave of uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
Are you going to recruit us as your younger brothers? It must be!
After all, it is said that this is what Xi Ke did back then!
Mikey straightened up and waited for Yang Jie to speak.
"Ahem."
"Do you know why you were arrested?"
Everyone was silent, and Mikey didn't speak.
When the boss is showing off his authority, he cannot interrupt, even if he knows it.
He wanted to make a good impression on the Asian guy.
"You stole my money and you will be punished."
The Asian man spoke:
"I don't care whether you know it or not, or whether you are implicated. Anyway, Mikey is your leader. If he makes a mistake, you naturally can't run away."
Everyone's sad eyes turned to Mikey again, but Mikey held his head high as if he was being praised.
What he is thinking now is that when recruiting later, he, the 'eldest brother', should be more reserved, or just accept his head and bow to him.
"Crash."
Putting the steel pipe on the ground, the Asian man continued:
“From now until the end of the evening, everyone will give me ten pieces each to saw the steel pipe along the lines drawn on the steel pipe.
After sawing, I used a file to smooth the surrounding area. "
?
Mikey was stunned.
This...isn't this right?
Shouldn't I accept people like myself as my subordinates?
My feelings have been brewing, and I am ready to kneel down and call you big brother as soon as you open your mouth, but you tell me to saw steel pipes?
Those people came forward, helped the brothers untie the ropes, and helped them stand up.
After being tied up for a long time, Mikey's arms were a little numb. He moved his wrists and looked at the three people blankly.
"What are you still doing?"
Seeing no response from the brothers, the Asian frowned and said with a straight face:
"Each of you go get your tools. No one can leave until you finish the work!"
Snap.
Mikey felt as if something was broken in his heart.
Matthew and Abe were the first to react. They moved their numb arms, walked forward slowly, silently took a hacksaw and a steel file, picked up a steel pipe with some difficulty, and walked away Go to the corner and start working without saying a word.
When everyone saw this, they looked at each other, and no one dared to refute - after all, several of them had guns in their hands, so they had no choice but to imitate Matthew and Abe, take the tools, and follow the lines drawn on the steel pipe to start. Sawing began.
The few people nodded with satisfaction, leaving the giant man to guard them, and the remaining two turned around and left.
The steel pipe was as thick as a wrist, and the wall of the pipe was not thin. Mikey laboriously sawed the steel pipe bit by bit according to the drawn markings.
Not long after, he felt soreness in his back and wrists.
There was no fixed platform, so he could only step on the steel pipe with one foot, bend down and pull the steel pipe back and forth with the hacksaw.
The sound of metal friction when the saws are working is very unpleasant, especially when more than twenty saws are working at the same time, the sound becomes a complete torture.
The dual physical and mental torture caused Mikey to collapse.
This is completely different from what I thought!
Mikey's face dropped and he looked at the saw in his hand with a sad look on his face. He quietly observed the giant man and saw that he was not looking at him, so he couldn't help but get lazy.
Before he could rest for long, a strong and broad hand suddenly touched his shoulder.
Mikey was so frightened that his body bounced. He quickly turned around and met the giant man's eyes. His heartbeat was frightened to a halt.
"Stop dilly-dallying, do it quickly!"
"Oh, alright."
Nodding quickly, Mikey no longer dared to sneak around and sawed the steel pipe hard.
The steel pipe is quite hard, so Mikey and others were busy from morning to evening. They didn't know how many saw blades were broken, but only four or five were finished.
And this group of people was so tired that they were about to lie down.
"Okay, let's get here first."
The giant man's voice was not pleasant, but at this moment it was like the sound of nature.
Throwing away the saw, Mikey sat down on the ground, looking ahead blankly.
He wanted to slap himself twice now.
You said you have nothing to do but why do you have to take ideas from these people?
It's better now. I'm not beaten to death, but I'm almost exhausted!
Mikey, who was about to cry without tears, then heard the giant man say:
"Eat first, then come back and continue after eating!"
