My Waste Husband

Chapter 1388

Henry looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He was in his thirties, and he looked like a ticket scalper in front of the ticket office of a large concert.

Henry did not say a word, but the other side continued, "I see that you have been sleeping here for three days. You probably have no house. Let me tell you, the academy's guards have eyed you. When they are sure that you are in the mafia, they will get you arrested. Don't think I don't know where you come from. Once you fall into the hands of the academy, I am afraid you will die."

In the Core, the academy's guards were equivalent to the policemen in the surface world.

Henry still said nothing. The other side continued, "Brother, you came from the mountains, right? Which bandits did you fool around with before? I've seen a lot of people who want to enter the city, but here, if you don't have a household registration, you can't do anything. Even if you do odd jobs, no one would want you. I can find a job for you. What do you think? At least you will have a place to stay and make a living."

"I don't have any money.” Henry said. He looked very dull.

"Haha." He laughed in disdain. "How can I not know that you don't have money? You don't even have a household registration. How can you possibly have money?"

"Then what do you want?" Henry's eyes were dull and he was just like a young man who had just stepped into society.

"Of course, I want money." The other side glanced at Henry. "However, you don't need to give me money, someone else will. I will introduce you to a job. Give me your salary for the first month. After that, when you have enough money to register, you can take the money yourself."

With just a few words, Henry figured out what he was doing. Just like those shady agents, they lured people who were eager to find a job in the black coal mine, so that he could get some money himself.

"Okay." Henry nodded dully.

"Okay." When Henry agreed, the man's face lit up. "Let's go. I'll take you there."

Henry followed him around Thunder Town for quite some time before he was finally brought to the edge of the town. There was a place similar to a factory. From the outside, the factory looked completely abandoned. Its front door was locked, and the lock was in tatters.

However, when this middle-aged man came to the front of the door, after reaching out his hand and knocking a few times rhythmically on the door a few times, this old steel door was opened from the inside.

It was a middle-aged woman in her fifties who opened the door. She first saw the person who led the way for Henry and then saw Henry. Then her eyes lit up and she looked Henry up and down. After that, she said to the middle- aged man doubtfully, "A newcomer?"

"Yes, young and strong, and he can do this." The middle- aged man reached out and made a gesture of grabbing.

This posture, in their line of work, represents the ability to use Qi. The middle-aged man had just tried to find out if Henry was a rebel of the outside world, but Henry did not deny it, so he assumed he was.

After all, as long as one was an ordinary person, no one was willing to admit that he had a relationship with the rebel bandits. If he was caught by the academy, he would be directly killed.

"Come in quickly." The middle- aged woman quickly waved her hand. After the middle- aged man and Henry entered the factory, the middle-aged woman leaned her head out of the iron gate and looked back and forth. After making sure no one followed them, she closed the door.

"Let's go. Come with me." The middle- aged woman looked at Henry again. She liked his fair and clean appearance very much.

Following the middle-aged woman, Henry came to the factory building. The factory building was also in tatters and there was a table. There were more than a dozen strong men sitting next to the table, all of whom looked fierce. As soon as Henry entered the room, these strong men all stared at Henry.

"What are you staring at? Are you gonna pay me if you all scare him off?" The middle-aged woman waved to those strong men and pretended to be coquettish.

The middle- aged woman's behaviour made the middle-aged man feel chills, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"All right, you wait here for a while." The middle-aged woman turned her head and said, then walked to the back of the factory.

After a few minutes, another middle-aged man came out. As soon as he appeared, he stared at Henry. Then he showed a satisfied expression and said to the man who was leading Henry, "Where did he come from?"

"He's from the mountain."

"Registered or unregistered?"

"Unregistered."

"How many levels of strength does he have?"

Henry's guide thought for a while and then suddenly waved his fist at Henry.

It was not until the opponent's fist had stopped in front of him for a second that Henry reacted in a hurry and took a step back, showing a look of shock.

The middle-aged man who led the way for Henry did not answer, and the middle-aged man who walked out of the factory also had an answer.

"One level of strength is just so- so, but the advantage is that he is young. How much do you want?" The factory man said.

"This much." The man who led the way for Henry went to the factory building man and stretched out a finger.

"Oh, you're really asking for an exorbitant price." The factory man whispered.

"Boss, it's not easy to recruit people now. The people around you all know that they will die in less than a month if they come to you. Now it's good enough to find one for you. This person is young and has some strength. I don't think this price is high, is it?" The man who led the way rubbed his fingers. "And you should know that recently, the Seven Protectors of Mountain Heng are very influential, and the academy is also very strict. It's really difficult to find people. It's risky for me to go out and help you pull people out."

"All right." The factory man nodded. Then he tapped on his wrist a few times, and a projection appeared. The guide did the same. Here, there was no cash. The transfer was a way to directly transfer the money to the other side's household register. They couldn't even lose money.

After receiving the money, the man who led the way left with a smile and did not look at Henry again. In his eyes, Henry was already a person who would die soon.

The factory man walked up to Henry and said, "Do you know what you're here for?"

Henry shook his head hard. "I don't know."

"Ha." The factory man smiled. "It's good that you don't know. Let's go. Come with me first."

He brought Henry to the interior of the factory. There was a passage down there. After they passed through the passage, an underground mine appeared in Henry's eyes. The stone walls around the mine were dirty and it was dark.

Henry recognized what was around the mine at a glance. He frowned. "A coal mine?"

In Henry's world, places that used coal became fewer and fewer, and many cities were forbidden from using coal. First of all, coal's output was limited, and second, coal had a great impact on the air.

The Core civilization had developed for so long, but there was still coal? And obviously, the function of this mine was to dig coal.

"Keep your voice down!" The factory man was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Remember, just pretend that you didn't see anything. Do you understand? Otherwise, you can't go out alive!"
