Chapter 102 Quota

Yag's words came true, and the pack of food brought devastating disaster to their siblings. Not long ago, several teenagers surrounded Betty.

They brutally snatched the food, then abused the siblings, and smashed the small cart.

Betty didn't know where to go. She wandered on the street for a long time and never met someone willing to lend a helping hand. Her fragility was already occupied by despair.

"Go away quickly, there is bread to eat in Black Thorn Manor."

"Master Rock needs manpower to rebuild the manor, and if it is too late, there will be no chance."

"If you want to go, then hurry up to the ruling hall."

Perhaps influenced by some people around her, Betty was walking hard towards the ruling hall. I don’t know when a thought arose in her mind.

"Maybe that master is willing to save Buso."

An hour passed quickly. In the square in front of the ruling hall, there were many poor people standing. Even though some of them left, there were still people rushing to come one after another.

Surprisingly, everyone who came here stayed peacefully, and even fewer whispered together. It seems that Rock maintained order well at present.

The number of people is almost approaching 800, which is too much beyond Rock's expectations. The number of people will increase, so he is not going to wait for the people coming later.

Because Black Thorn Manor cannot get so many people for the time being, and if there are too many people, bad things are always easy to happen and are not convenient to manage.

"Get out of here!"

Outside the crowd, Barrow's roar came. He went back and was squeezing into the crowd with more than a dozen town guards, which caused a commotion.

"Don't push me."

"It's been so crowded."

"Bastard! Be careful, you stepped on me."

"Mom! Woo woo."

"You guys are careful, don't hurt my child."

After a while, Barrow came to Rock, and the original riot gradually subsided.

"Rock, I was quite surprised. I didn't expect so many people to come. What are you going to do?" Barrow asked in surprise after seeing the other party.

"Brother Barrow seems to be trouble for you. I only have five hundred people."

"I understand, let's leave it to us." After saying that, Barrow turned around and walked straight towards the crowd with the town guards.

Those anxiously waiting suddenly became nervous when they saw the town guards coming.

"I heard it all. The Black Thorn Manor only needs five hundred people. So, those who think they are strong, diligent, and those who can work can stay, and everyone else can get out!"

Barrow's voice was extremely loud, and even some people who were rushing to hear it.

This sentence is a bolt from the blue for the elderly, young, women and children. No matter how they fight, they can't compete for the strong young people.

"Oh no!"

"I can do a lot of work, I just need a piece of bread."

"Please, please tell Mr. Rock, my child and I can work."

The crowd started to riot again, Barrow took a step forward and shouted loudly again: "Everyone is quiet, I will pick people myself, and now I am staying honestly. If anyone dares to do anything, I will ask him to look good."

Barrow's fierce look on his face, coupled with his rough voice, was the best way to scare the crowd, and the surroundings were silent.

"There is still a chance, as long as I show enough strength."

"I have to fight for the sake of the kids."

"I must stay."

There are so many people, with all kinds of thoughts, and their only purpose is to become one of the five hundred people.

"Don't worry, everyone has a chance."

Barrow once again gave hope, and then arranged for the town guards to start the selection of commanders, trying his best to let those who come here get the opportunity.

The workload was very huge, and even Barrow had to work hard. Soon, the town guards and Murdan, who were responsible for maintaining order, also joined the screening work.

"You can't do it, you can leave."

"Sir, please let me stay."

"Your arm can't do work, go back."

"No, I can't go back, please."

The eliminated people were extremely depressed. Some of them cried with their heads in their arms, while others were begging desperately to stay.

The screening work went smoothly. At this time, Barrow came to a young man. He looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a buzz cut and dark skin. The most surprising thing was that he was half a head taller than Barrow.

"You're too hard to do anything."

Barrow said seriously, and he saw the boy following him, all of whom were pale and thin, ragged, with uneasy and panic in his eyes.

"Please let Brother Tieshan stay."

"Please."

"Brother Tieshan is very strong, please."

These children mustered up the courage, and they desperately asked Barrow, hoping that the other party could keep Tieshan.

"Why? They are not close to you, why do they make themselves so tired?" Barrow could vaguely guess what kind of life this young man was living.

"Otherwise, what else can they do? They will die outside without their parents and relatives." Tieshan gave his own answer.

A complex look flashed in Barrow's eyes, but this time was not a time to be kind. He asked again: "They said you are very strong, right?"

"Yes, I have strength." Tieshan replied affirmatively.

"Then punch me and prove it to me." Barrow put down his hands and smiled.

"Okay, sir, be careful."

Bang!

Tieshan's expression was a bit dull, and his idea was very simple. After saying this, he punched Barrow in the chest.

"Very good strength, you can stay." After saying this, Barrow showed a look of praise and then walked away softly.

"Thank you, sir."

At this moment, Tieshan's dull face showed an excited expression, and he lowered his head and looked at his fist seriously.

"That's great, Brother Tieshan."

"Hehe, Brother Tieshan can stay."

"Long live Brother Tieshan."

Soon, the children surrounded him, and a happy smile appeared on their faces, and they felt happy for Tieshan from the bottom of their hearts. They were so innocent.

This is just a small episode in the screening work, but it reflects some problems very bluntly. Most of the people who insist on staying here are not for themselves, but for those weak and difficult relatives or those who need care. They can fully interpret the kindness in human nature.

Rock, not far away, has been watching all this coldly, and many people can only leave helplessly, such as sick women, disabled men, lonely elderly people, crying children, etc. Perhaps their biggest wish may be to get a piece of bread.

After leaving here, no one knows what their fate will be, and maybe some of them will die silently.

Murdan, who was also staring at the crowd, had a little moved expression. A bitter sadness spread deep in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. At this moment, he fully understood why Rock had to remain indifferent.

"Actually, I hate watching such a picture, but survival is so difficult. There is no fair opportunity. We all have to take responsibility for our future."
