Because he did n’t reveal any special talents, Ester was registered as a basic labor force after landing on Abaco Island. After a full meal, he was sent to the island ’s farm to pick tomatoes.

Ester doesn't understand this tense moment. Why do people of "Aurora Legion" still pick some tomatoes slowly? In fact, there are still many people involved in tomato picking, and the origin of the personnel is very complicated.

There are Americans, Cubans, and Haitians working on the farm. Ester asked how these people came from? As a result, I learned that the pilots who did not return to Nassau did not surrender ‘Aurora Legion’ during the battle a few days ago, but flew to other places around.

So the news that ‘Aurora Legion’ defeated General Santos was spread by these pilots, and soon spread throughout the entire Bahamas surrounding waters. And ‘Aurora Legion’ not only dropped leaflets at Nassau, but also dropped leaflets elsewhere. Many people who could n’t survive all tried their best to find a way out of Grand Abaco Island.

People who came to Grand Abaco felt that they were saved. Some were assigned to a cannery, some were arranged for fishing, and some were picking various vegetables and fruits on the farm. They found that although the life here was a bit bitter, they could fill their stomachs anyway.

Actually, 'Aurora Legion' is a very good meal for the labor force. Although there are no particularly precious ingredients, the seafood in the sea and the fruits and vegetables on the farm are all open. Most staple foods are lacking, but they still Fill the stomach.

Among the people picking tomatoes, Ester even saw the woman who claimed to be a ‘prostitute’ and she also took the children to work on the farm. Ester asked her where she came from? As a result, the other party said that military control was implemented throughout the island, and everyone must obey the distribution and cannot work at will.

"Working on the farm is tiring, haven't you complained?" Ester asked.

The woman shook her head, but her sweaty face was alive, "I think it's good, I can't ask too much now. At least my child and I have a great time and don't have to worry about other things . "

Ester worked on the farm for two or three days, and was surprised that the organization of ‘Aurora Legion’ was so good. Everyone was doing their job, and there were no idle people everywhere. Of course, if someone makes trouble, the armed soldiers patrolling in the battery car will really throw the troublemakers into the sea.

The militarized management made the order of the entire island immediately organized, and the production work was extremely busy. Ester found that all the tomatoes he collected were sent to the cannery, and the workers in the cannery were busy producing tomato paste.

"Who do you want to eat to produce so much ketchup?" The production of ketchup is very simple. It is nothing more than adding various food additives after cooking. This is food that can be stored for a long time, but looking at the big barrels of ketchup, Ester feels that it is completely beyond the internal needs of ‘Aurora Legion’.

It ’s just that the workers just answered this question, saying, "We do n’t know, anyway, let us do what we want. It is said that it is for storage, some people say it is for trade, and of course others say it is to recruit more people . "

‘Aurora Legion’ did recruit a lot of people. When Ester first arrived on the island, the workforce for the legion was at most 500, but after a week, the island ’s population was definitely over 5,000. He once helped transport the tomato sauce to the "Aurora", and heard the sailors on the ship say that the tomato sauce was to be shipped to Miami, Florida, across the sea.

"What are you going to do in Miami?"

"It is said that there are a lot of slaves sold in Miami, and the Legion is doing everything possible to buy slaves from Miami, or to rescue them. I think it will be very lucky that we can be contained by the Legion."

The distance from Grand Abaco Island to Miami is just over two hundred kilometers, and the information obtained from the sailors was quickly verified. It is said that the price of slaves there is extremely cheap. You can buy ten of them in a large barrel of tomato paste. If it is canned seafood, it can be doubled.

The "Aurora" will bring back more than a thousand young men and women in one go. These people are often subjected to great torture, and their clothes are ragged, thin and frightened. Ester was sent to take care of these rescued people.

"What does Miami look like now?" Ester is responsible for providing these poor people with liquid food, and asks the situation by the way.

"What does **** look like, what does Miami look like?" It was a white man who was said to have died of the whole family, leaving him alone.

"The agriculture in Florida is very developed, you should not lack food." Ester is very puzzled.

"No food shortage?" the white man smiled bitterly: "Florida does not lack food, but those things no longer belong to us. After the disaster, countless Cubans invaded our homes from the sea, and we struggled to resist , But do you know how many of them? Millions!

But after the government, police, and army all disappeared, the Cubans ran to us like crazy. They tried every possible means to carry people ashore by ship, and we couldn't stop it. In the end, a whole number of millions of people landed, completely seizing our living space and selling us as slaves. "

The white man wailed and cried when he finished speaking, as did the other rescued slaves around him. But these poor people have only been trained for two or three days, and were driven to work by the ‘Aurora Legion’ people. Some people say that their mental trauma has not recovered and they are unable to work. As a result, those who find such excuses are expelled in public.

Ester witnessed this cruel scene with his own eyes. The leader of the legion called Victor Hugo personally delivered a short speech to the public, "We are not a free, equal, and fraternal world here. Since you have joined our group, you should contribute to the group. Ability, otherwise please leave. "

The expelled people cried and said that they were willing to work and not to leave. But the soldiers of the legion ignored his plea and threw it back to Miami. Ester knew that this person would be dead when he was thrown back. He now really understands the words ‘Aurora Legion’ preached when he went ashore-this is not heaven.

Work, work, non-stop work, the area of ​​Grand Abaco Island is not large. In just half a month, the resources here have been used to their limit by ‘Aurora Legion’. In order to accommodate more people, the legion had to expand towards other islands around it.

However, this expansion was harassed by Santos's men. They dared not go to Grand Abaco Island to make trouble, but they could use the lack of ‘Aurora Legion’ ships to hinder the expansion of the legion.

The head of the legion is extremely annoyed, and he must not ask the thousands of people across the island like ‘undead horse as a living horse doctor’, ‘who can get a warship’?

This problem really exceeds the ability of most people on the island, but Ester, who has been on the island for more than half a month, feels that he has finally waited for an opportunity, which may relieve the difficulties of his companions behind him.

"I can get a warship!" (To be continued.)
