Within the mine, the tense atmosphere suddenly turned into a familiarity meeting.
However, Shen Congfei didn't recognize any of these newcomers. Looking at their clothes, he asked in curiosity:
"Why does your outfit look like a prisoner's uniform?"
"Because it is a prisoner's uniform."
The teenage male who was talking to Xue Yangping explained the reason for wearing the prison uniforms:
"We were taken from our school by the soldiers and directly transported to a prison near the edge city."
"At first, we were told it was just for manual labor and that we would be allowed to go home once the work was completed."
"Thus, we began to dig trenches and such near the border prison of the Alliance."
"But soon after, those soldiers released the prisoners and put them in charge of overseeing our labor."
Saying this, a boy named Liu Chen could not help but start crying.
"They reduced our food, physically abused us, and even killed several people who tried to escape."
