These houses were all very low, and there were things scuttling about above them. When the boat got closer, it was only then did they realize that these people were scuttling around.

There were all kinds of people, and most of them were black. These people helped with a note on their wrists, and each of them carried something on their back. Although there were cranes, there were only a few of them, and most of them still needed help.

The other crew members were still confused, but Ding Yiyi and her team could guess that the purchased crew members weren't missing. It was very possible that they had arrived here.

The old crew members disembarked these new crew members, and everyone got off the ship. When they arrived on the ground, they found that the ship didn't stop and had left instead.

Someone immediately suggested that if the boat left, what should they do? However, the old crew members did not answer. Since this was the equivalent of stepping into the gates of hell, they no longer needed to help coax these newbies.

A thin and weak young man in his twenties accidentally fell while carrying the sack, and all the powder fell out. A man holding a flashlight immediately walked over and punched the young man hard, causing the young man to flop within the bag. The young man was in a very sorry state as he spat out a broken tooth, his mouth full of blood.

The other people present turned a blind eye. Seeing that the person was about to attack, some of the new crew members couldn't stand it. Some went to support the young ones, while others went to stop the thugs.

The person who went to stop the attack was also beaten. The scene was extremely chaotic. With a gunshot, everyone dispersed in surprise.

A few burly men rushed forward with electric batons in their hands. They indiscriminately electrocuted the young man and all the people who had tried to interfere in the previous fight. Immediately, miserable cries filled the air.

Ding Yiyi and the other two had been hiding behind them the entire time. They felt that something was wrong. She had been looking at the construction site, but there were a lot of people.

In a moment they were taken to something like a dungeon, each compartment small and littered with broken cotton wool. The new crew began to feel something was wrong and to shout.

"We're not the only ones here." Liu Qiang pointed at the dark stains on the wall. "The blood."

The cubicle smelled awful, and most of the men were cursing and swearing like madmen. It lasted for hours before it quieted down.

The second day, the curses were even softer. Someone handed over half a bucket of water, and the crew immediately vomited it. It wasn't fresh water at all, it was all seawater.

However, after half a day, there were people fighting over the seawater as they drank. Liu Qiang and Dong Qing snatched some for Ding Yiyi. She knew that they wouldn't listen to anything, so she drank the seawater. After drinking, other than feeling mentally relieved, the feeling of hunger and thirst didn't improve at all.

On the third day, everyone was on their last breaths and didn't have the strength to curse anymore. Everyone randomly found a place to lie down. The compartment was very small and crowded. If it weren't for the cold weather, the smell would have been extremely unpleasant.

Finally, on the third night, there was a movement outside the cubicle door. Two men with guns were standing outside the door.

"Come out one by one. It's best not to move."

Ding Yiyi understood that these people were waiting for this day. First, it was to make people hungry and thirsty, and first, the physical resistance to resistance was weak, and secondly, hunger and thirst brought about psychological fear, forming a source of fear that those who did not accept this would continue to be kept under control until the first stage of the intimidation was completed.

Sure enough, as soon as a man walked out of the door, he swung his fist towards the person who was guarding them. As soon as a man walked out of the door, he swung his fist towards the person who was guarding them.

After this incident, many people became obedient. Ding Yiyi and the other two didn't say anything and obediently walked over to the side.

After counting the number of people, they were led outside. After roughly ten minutes, they entered a large hall that was currently being built.

The reason it was called a great hall was because the buildings inside were built entirely in accordance with the temples of ancient Rome. The lower half of the hall was made of a hollow cylindrical shape, starting from the height. The upper half was made of a hemispherical dome, the walls of which gradually became thinner, and in the middle of the dome was a large round hole. At night, there was moonlight, which poured through the hole and found the captain sitting on the highest step.

There were almost a hundred people kneeling on the ground. All of them had their heads lowered, with wounds all over their bodies. There were clearly hundreds of people, but not a single sound could be heard.

Ding Yiyi sized up these people as soon as she got the chance, but it was too dark. With a quick glance, she didn't notice that it might be Ye Nianmo.

Some people had asked them to kneel, but now, in the 21st century, there were those who weren't willing. Those who weren't were all forced to kneel, having their knees beaten.

On the other hand, Liu Qiang knelt down quickly. He understood the principle that a wise man should know his place. Thus, he secretly pulled on the clothes of Dong Qing and Ding Yiyi who refused to kneel.

After everyone had knelt down, the captain finally spoke, "As you can see, I want to build a new country here. From now on, you are my subjects, and as the first generation citizens of the future, you have to pay a lot of hard work now, so you will get more in the future.

"Think about it. In your original country, you might only be able to carry a little salary a month and are still at the bottom of society, but here, once this country is established, you are the first batch of citizens. Think about it, all the benefits in the future will be yours!"

"You're crazy!" Liu Qiang cursed in a low voice. A few of the new crew members who were forced to kneel looked at him in agreement. "Now that the twenty-first century has arrived, it would be crazy to go out of your way to make a new country on a small island.

None of the new crew members said a word, while those who had been on the island for a long time raised their hands high, prostrating themselves on the ground as they shouted "Long live the King".2

Ding Yiyi could more or less guess the reason. It was probably because these people bought and were being sold from all over the world, or were untroublesome, that they brought these people to this island and forced them to work under the pretext of recruiting new crew members. The island was isolated on all sides, so it was impossible for them to escape.

What she was worried about the most was that if all of her guesses were true, would Ye Nianmo be in this group as well, and would he be tortured as well?

The captain gave a meaningful glance to the people standing at the side, who dragged them up to the deck. They were the three people who had been taken away the day they disembarked from the ship.

The three of them were badly beaten and their faces were swollen. They could no longer see their original appearances clearly. The bodies of these new crew members trembled as they did not dare to imagine that they would be beaten to such a state just because of a small matter.

"As a citizen, obedience is the most important thing. I need you guys, but I don't need many independent people, so I need to give them a little bit of punishment."

He said it so casually, Ding Yiyi thought, already beat people half to death, what other punishment is there? At the same time, the captain stood up and walked away, followed by the people who had been enslaved on the island.

More than a hundred people were standing on the island, densely packed like ants. Ding Yiyi was shuttling through the crowd, but she couldn't find anyone like Ye Nianmo, and when she felt at ease, she was conflicted.

"Come here." Dong Qing pulled her to him and lowered her voice. "Be careful, these people must be crazy."

At this moment, a burst of excited cheers came from the crowd. Ding Yiyi and Dong Qing couldn't see it clearly from behind, but Liu Qiang pushed his way from the front to the back and wiped his face. "They pushed us into the sea, those animals pushed us into the sea."

The people who had stayed on the island for a long time were laughing and cheering, as if this was a very interesting thing to do. The crew members who had just arrived on the island were shocked, and fear was written all over their faces.

Caught off guard, a gunshot sounded out, disrupting the joyous atmosphere. Dong Qing and Liu Qiang protected Ding Yiyi behind them at the first possible moment.

Those who had been enslaved on the island for a long time stood rooted to the ground, watching as one of the crewmen who had been shot in the arm and whose blood gushed out of it screamed and scattered.

The scene was a mess. Some people fell to the ground, but before they could get up, more people ran past them, wailing in pain.

These people also knew that they couldn't run far on the island, so they hid in buildings that weren't completed yet. Some of them had more strength, so they grabbed the people who were hiding inside and ran inside.

Ding Yiyi hurriedly went to support the body of the person who had been stepped on. The latter had many wounds on her arm, and when she saw Ding Yiyi reaching out her hand, she reflexively shrank backwards.

A large ship appeared in the distance. After the loud noise, the water on the side of the island exploded, raising up a sea as high as a person. The old crew members were all panicking, holding pistols under the captain's lead.

Liu Qiang and Dong Qing looked at the flag on the other ship and exclaimed, "Navy?"

As the navy surged forward, the dozen or so old crew members were no match for them. Not even having the ability to resist, many people threw away their pistols and fled.

The navy ships landed, and well-equipped navies came running down, immediately surrounding the island. All the new crew members were extremely excited as they ran out one after another, talking at once.

Finally, a naval figure stepped down from the boat. He soothed the crowd and ordered a search for the captain and the fleeing crew.

Dong Qing went to meet with the officer and they talked for a bit about their ranks and the organization that would provide them with services. Dong Qing also explained the situation to him and understood that a month ago, this ship had already entered the surveillance zone. The people who had just been thrown off the ship had actually been saved as well.
