"It's just a contraceptive."
I stood there for some time as the implication of her words finally hit me. At first, I thought she was joking, but then I considered it further. There was no shortage of slaves making out with each other here, but I haven't even seen a single child.
So what she said made sense. The slaves had access to contraceptives, perhaps the masters gave them, considering pregnancy would drop the rate at which the slaves mine considerably. Not to mention, no slave would like to give birth to a kid in such terrible circumstances.
I didn't waste more time contemplating that and joined Cameron on the back.
"Cam," I asked him in a whisper. "So this place isn't completely under the earthlings?"
Cameron wasn't too familiar with this place to know that, though I think he got the same hints as me so far.
