  Thirteen enemy corpses were quickly decomposed, but this time they failed to harvest [Life Crystal] and [Adventurer's Soul], and even the amount of [Red Small Crystals] was greatly reduced.

   "Because the death time is too long, has the energy dissipated?"

   "Life" and "soul" are unique to living people. Once a person dies, these two energies will dissipate at an extremely fast speed.

  Because the previous attacker was killed by himself, he was decomposed at the moment of death, so he was able to obtain [Life Crystal (Fragment)] and [Adventurer's Soul (Ordinary)].

   Even so, the assailant had already lost more than half of his 'life' and 'soul'.

  Because these two kinds of energy dissipate too fast.

   By contrast.

  The flow of blood gas is much slower, so after such a long time, the next part can be retained.

   Simply fill up the small hole with soil, and Mo Jun returned to the camp.

   In a quarter of an hour.

  The army officially set off.

   Escorting grain and grass is a hard job, especially for Mo Jun, who are not even soldiers. Because of the scarcity of horses in Qin State, most of the grain, grass, and luggage are pulled by manpower.

  Because of his thin body, Mo Jun was assigned a relatively easy job, which was to push the grain cart behind.

  However, even though his current body has been strengthened by [small red crystals], he already feels sore muscles all over his body, and his stomach is unbearably hungry after only halfway through the journey.

  Although the blood energy in the small red crystal can strengthen the body and increase energy, it cannot replace food.

  But even if he is hungry at this time, Mo Jun can only bear it.

   After all, two meals are generally implemented at the moment. Even if the first meal is eaten early today, the second meal will be at least until the end of the day, and there is at least an hour before the end of the day!

   In the following journey, as expected, there were still enemy attacks, but because our own side was already prepared, in the end, the enemy's several sneak attacks were in vain.

   A few days later.

   Mo Jun and his party finally arrived at Shangdang, and then, with the support of the frontline army, they successfully transported the food and grass to the frontline battlefield.

  ······

  Chili.

   This was originally a city on the border of Zhao State, but half a month ago, it was captured by General Meng Ao of Qin State, and now it has become the territory of Qin State.

  Jun Mo walked into the city gate following the army escorting grain and grass. The first thing he saw was the city wall and rows of well-disciplined soldiers on both sides of the city gate wearing black armor and holding long daggers.

  After entering the city, it was the barracks, and when Mo Jun and his party had just entered the barracks, there was a sudden mournful wailing in their ears.

   "Spare me!"

   "General, please forgive me!"

   "I was wrong, General!"

  The wailing alarmed everyone, and Mo Jun subconsciously turned his head to look, just in time to see a few soldiers with indifferent eyes, dragging at least a hundred stripped men, walking towards the execution platform in the center of the barracks.

  Mr. Mo was wondering, when suddenly he heard the young man who was pushing a grain truck beside him say in a low voice.

   "Hey, do you know?"

"What?"

  The young man said with some pride: "I heard that the largest batch of food and grass we escorted this time was destroyed by the enemy. The general was furious. It is estimated that these people will die."

  The general Meng Ao led a total of 50,000 troops to attack Zhao, and it was impossible to send a team of troops directly to Mo Jun to supply the food and grass for so many troops.

   Bing points road is the best choice.

  According to the young man's words, if Mr. Mo guessed correctly, the enemy's target from the very beginning is probably the largest batch of grain and grass there.

  As for the enemy attacking their side, there is a high probability that they are just bait.

   This also explains why the enemy army who attacked them before had so many sneak attacks, but the attack strength was pitifully small.

  But then Mo Jun's eyes became strange, he looked at the young man beside him and said, "How did you know this news?"

   "Hey, this news has been spread to Shangdang a few days ago. Why, haven't you heard anything?"

  “······”

  Mr. Mo was speechless.

  He has admired this kind of person since he went to school in his previous life. Even though the school has not released any news, there are always people who can get so-called gossip from unknown places.

   But these so-called gossips are so accurate.

   Conversation room.

  The soldiers not far away dragged a group of ashen-faced men who kept wailing.

   "Are these people also the ones who escorted that batch of grain and grass?"

"Ah, no! These people are from another team. I heard that some of the food and grass that their team escorted was not kept properly, which caused mold. Therefore, according to the military law, everyone must be whipped. The death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty cannot be escaped." .”

  Mr. Mo: "······"

"May I have your name?"

   "Just call me Xiong Da, how about you?"

   "·····Mr. Mo."

   "Hey! What a name!"

"I think so."

  Jun Mo replied honestly, and then said casually: "Your name is Xiong Da, so you don't have a brother named Xiong Er?"

"How do you know? My brother's name is Xiong Er. But don't look at me as skinny, my brother is much stronger than me. People in our village praise him as strong as a bear! But this time he I didn't come to participate in the corvee, and my family will soon open up wasteland. With his strength, I will definitely help my family open up a few acres this time..."

  As soon as his younger brother was mentioned, Xiong Da immediately seemed to turn on a switch, and started talking endlessly, even his eyes lit up a lot.

  Wait until the grain and grass were transported into the military depot, and after the records were handed over one by one, it was already in decline.

   All the bronze swords equipped by Mo Jun and others were also handed in. These apprentices were not qualified to equip weapons. They were temporarily equipped with weapons because they were suddenly attacked by the enemy in order to increase their combat effectiveness.

  The screams on the other side of the execution platform rang for a while, and soon disappeared.

   Had dinner.

  The sky is getting dark, which means that the day has come to an end.

  ······

the next day.

   As soon as a ray of morning light pierced the eastern horizon, there were bursts of high-spirited training sounds in the barracks.

  However, in the tent where Mo Jun and his party were, not even one person got up.

Do not misunderstand.

   This is not because Mo Jun and others are lazy, but because the rules in the barracks are like this.

   Corvettes like Mo Jun and the others are not qualified to train on the frontline battlefield, because the food on the frontline battlefield is precious, and after training, they need to eat a lot to maintain their strength.

  So in the frontline barracks, only elite soldiers at the forefront of the battlefield are eligible to participate in training.

   Mo Jun and the others are not qualified to do even logistical tasks such as lighting fires and cooking, because such "technical tasks" will cost extra.

   That's right.

  In today’s state of Qin, corvée is paid for. Ordinary coolies like Mo Jun and the others are paid six dollars a day, including food and lodging.

  If you bring your own dry food, you will be paid eight dollars a day.

   And for "technical work" such as lighting a fire and cooking, the daily wages will increase by one to two dollars.

  As for the various tyranny of Qin that Mo Jun saw later, in fact, most of them only appeared in the period of Qin II.

   After all, Qin is now in a period of rising national power. If there are really so many tyranny, how can it rise.

   And even if you don’t add money, you can occasionally ‘extra meals’ for work such as cooking and cooking, which is also a fat job. It is impossible for this kind of work to fall on the heads of Mo Jun and his fellow 'newcomer corvee'.

   As a newcomer.

  The current job of Mo Jun and others is to continue to serve as coolies during the war, helping to carry food and equipment. Then cheer on the frontline soldiers before the war begins.

   For the rest of the time, you only need to move less and eat less, which is the greatest contribution to the army.

  Lie down until the sun completely exposed the horizon, Mo Jun finally couldn't lie down anymore.

  I guess in my previous life I would never have imagined that I would not be able to sleep late one day.

  After waking up.

  After a brief wash, Mo Jun began to wander around the barracks.

   It’s just a stroll, but there are only a handful of places Mo Jun can go now.

  There is strict discipline in the army.

  First of all, as a logistics soldier, he can only move around in the barracks. Secondly, Mo Jun can't get close to all the important military bases and front-line training places.

  The total range of activities is actually only a small part of the logistics area.

   Walked around twice.

  Mr. Mo felt that there was no interest. Just as he was about to return to the tent, suddenly, a pile of things not far away attracted his attention.
