No humans wanted to die.
Slaves were no exception.
Donggang was inhabited before. Shortly after the building of the wall, it became a plantation for mutated fruits. Later on, it became a plantation worked on by slaves.
There were criminals, people captured by raiders, poor people, or people purely in debt working there. They could withstand the plantation work, and they could withstand supervisors cursing and hitting them as long as they weren't slaves of mutated humans. Once they worked their time, they could obtain their freedom and become free.
But recently, a rumor spread among the slaves.
Mutated humans were being murdered in Empire.
Empire planned to use the heads of slaves to calm the anger of mutated humans.
No one believed this at first since it was completely absurd. While they were the slaves of Empire, they were still citizens of Empire. Empire had the right to exploit them, but it had no right to take their lives away.
