On the way to the mine, in the car, Lin Wu asked Bo Yuting to take off his clothes so that she could check the condition of his wound.
Bo Yuting knew what was happening to him very well, so he said softly, "No need, when we get there, I'll just ask Guan Chen to bandage it and apply some medicine on it."
Lin Wu looked at him.
Bo Yuting had no choice but to swallow his words and take off his shirt one by one.
By the time Lin Wu found the first aid kit, he had already taken off all his clothes, and he could see that the bandages wrapped around his shoulders were covered in blood.
She frowned.
Bo Yuting tilted his head and comforted her, "It's okay. It has healed a lot now. The wound is very small now."
Zheng Mingxian, who was driving in front, heard this and said with regret, "Daosheng, Jiu Ye, I'm really sorry. I just wanted to lead them to safety, but I didn't expect this to happen."
"It has nothing to do with you, you don't have to apologize."
Lin Wu said expressionlessly, calmed himself down, and began to re-bandage Bo Yuting.
Bo Yuting also asked her: "Did you pull your ribs and hurt them?"
"good."
Lin Wu’s words are concise and to the point.
Bo Yuting said: "Take two of the blue capsules in the white bottle in the bag."
"Finish it for you before you eat."
Lin Wu insisted, and Bo Yuting nodded.
While she was dealing with it, she used other things to divert her attention so as not to become more and more angry with the Seventeenth Regiment.
"How did you and Cheng Man find that mine in the first place? Coincidence?"
When Zheng Mingxian was feeling guilty, he told her everything he knew: "It was actually a coincidence. I didn't know the ore I was looking for was here at first, and then I accidentally heard that the Black Forbidden Zone was looking for someone to investigate the situation in this mine. As long as you can help them figure out the specific stone quality under the mine, they will reward you handsomely."
"Hmm? Is it related to the Black Forbidden Area?"
Lin Wu's attention was briefly diverted to Zheng Mingxian.
Bo Yuting also looked over and asked, "Why are they looking for someone to do this?"
"I don't know either." Zheng Mingxian said, "I thought, I'm here to look for stones anyway, but this mining area has an owner, so it's not easy to enter casually. Not only will it be troublesome to find the stones, but there may also be conflicts. If I can go in openly, it will be more convenient. I'll let Cheng Man accompany me to find the person in charge of this matter in the forbidden area and take over this matter."
"What's next?"
Lin Wu asked.
Zheng Mingxian said, "The person in charge gave me one and a half months, and they will come to me to get the stone identification report after the expiration. In fact, I have already figured out the stone quality report within 40 meters of the area I am responsible for. But I was lucky and found the stones I was interested in and wanted, so I called them and asked if they would be ok if I didn't want a big reward, but just took some stones and left."
"They hesitated for a while, and gave me a reply two days later saying it was okay. So for the past half month, Cheng Man and I stayed to collect the stones to take away. But I didn't expect something would go wrong. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken them and would have taken Cheng Man away earlier."
Lin Wu had already bandaged Bo Yuting and helped him put on his clothes. He looked at Zheng Mingxian and asked, "Why are they hesitating? The stone you mined is very special. Don't they want to give it to you?"
Zheng Mingxian hesitated for a moment, but still answered Lin Wu: "I don't know why they hesitated. But the stone I want is not too precious. I only want it because the substance it contains is special. According to the market, the stone I want is not the kind that is out of stock, so their hesitation should not be because of this."
Lin Wu and Bo Yuting looked at each other.
Bo Yuting then asked: "What do you want those stones for?"
Zheng Mingxian glanced at the rearview mirror, and this time his tone was more distant: "For personal use. Jiu Ye, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."
"Then let's talk about something else." Lin Wu said, "When is the deadline agreed between you and the people in the forbidden area?"
Zheng Mingxian said, "Next weekend. When the time comes, they will ask us to leave immediately. Therefore, we only have a week at most to move freely, and we have to rescue Cheng Man during this time!"
Lin Wu asked, "What was the result of you sending someone down before we arrived?"
Zheng Mingxian sighed when he talked about this, "You remember what I told you this morning, there's a kind of black fog in there. It was originally only fifteen meters deep, but now it has spread and risen to about ten meters deep, and it makes people dizzy and difficult to move. The people from the 17th Regiment only lasted less than ten minutes when they went down, even with gas masks, and couldn't get to the bottom at all."
"How deep is Cheng Man?"
"About thirty-five meters."
“………”
Lin Wu frowned.
This depth is extremely dangerous.
Because the black fog was even around ten meters deep, and it would be even thicker below. It was hard for people to survive on top, so how could they survive going down so deep and looking for people inside?
Her silence made Zheng Mingxian panic: "Daosheng, you are always powerful, please think of a way to save Cheng Man. If even you can't think of a way, I won't count on those people from Xuanmen."
"Don't be anxious. There will be a way when we reach the top of the mountain." Lin Wu said calmly.
Bo Yuting suddenly asked: "Did Cheng Man bring food and water when he went down?"
Zheng Mingxian said: "Yes, but not much. If we save a little, it will be enough for one day at most."
Considering the human body's limit on hunger and thirst, danger will start to arise if it lasts more than three days.
Not to mention, there was also a strange black fog. Zheng Mingxian was afraid that Cheng Man wouldn't be able to survive even a single night.
Bo Yuting said at this time: "There is no need to wait for the agreed deadline with the Forbidden Zone, just call their people over. We don't know what the black fog is, and as the mine owners in that area, they should know it. If the people working for them get into trouble, they also have the responsibility to provide a certain degree of rescue."
"Call someone from the forbidden area?" Zheng Mingxian was stunned. "But what if they don't save us and just drive us out of the mine? Then we won't even have a chance to save Cheng Man?"
Lin Wu said, "Don't you still have the appraisal report they want? If our people can't go down, their people may not be able to go down either. Even if they can, there may not be anyone willing to risk their lives to re-appraise for them. In this case, there is no reason for them to break up with you."
"Too……"
Zheng Mingxian calmed himself down, took out his cell phone, and sent a message while driving.
Lin Wu was thinking, when suddenly he saw a big hand appear in his sight, with two pills in the palm.
She glanced at Bo Yuting, took it and ate it.
Bo Yuting pinched her fingers and said, "As long as the person is still alive, there will always be a chance to rescue him."
Lin Wu nodded, paused, and then said, "It would be good to ask people from the forbidden area to come. The more people know that we are here, the sooner Lu Guichi will know about us."
This is exactly what Bo Yuting meant.
He said, "Waiting for them at the mine is a good place."
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Zheng Mingxian in front didn't hear clearly, so he asked after sending the message.
Lin Wu said: "Nothing, are we almost there?"
“Soon.”
When Zheng Mingxian thought of Cheng Man still in the mine, he was eager to go home and quickened his pace.
Soon, they arrived at the mine and continued to go deeper to the garrison area.
Zheng Mingxian was already very familiar with the place, so he took them directly to their accommodation and parked the car next to a few makeshift tents.
"This is a wasteland, and the houses are not very well built and are not very solid. So when Cheng Man and I were here, we lived in a big tent. I've asked someone to pack it up for you, and we have all the daily necessities, so you can just make do with it for now."
Lin Wu nodded and said, "When Guan Chen and the others arrive later, you can go and pick them up."
