Chapter 603 The plight of workers!
Their eyes were full of hope.
Without further ado, Ye Mu stepped forward and Ji Linglong followed closely.
After the black-armored guard at the door checked Ye Mu and Ji Linglong's tokens, he respectfully opened the first black iron door.
What caught the eye was a fiery red crystal hanging from the top of the cave, illuminating the originally dark mine as bright as day.
The mine is decorated very comfortably, just like a hall for receiving guests.
This surprised Ye Mu and Ji Linglong.
They thought that the environment inside the mine would be extremely harsh, but it was completely different from what they had imagined.
"Go on."
Ye Mu put his thoughts aside and took a look at the thickness of the black iron gate. The black iron was fifty centimeters wide, and it was probably only possible for a cultivator in the Void Realm to break it.
When the second black iron gate opened, the scene before him was still as bright as day.
However, this section of the road was filled with food and water, which should be the necessities for the miners' food and daily life.
"continue."
Ye Mu became more and more excited about the scene in the mine.
If the laborers working here for Zhang Bufan and Kunpeng were not as hard as he had imagined, he would be somewhat comforted.
"Sir, this doorplate is for you and your wife's daily life. Please keep it safe." The black-armored guard handed Ye Mu a plate with the number ninety-seven on it.
"Okay." Ye Mu nodded and gestured to continue opening the third black iron door.
However, when the third black iron gate was opened, although the light inside was as bright as day outside, a cold and damp smell came towards them.
Ye Mu's face darkened instantly.
The environment inside the mine was not what he had imagined!
"Walk!"
Ye Mu couldn't hold it back any longer, so he took Ji Linglong's hand and walked into the entrance.
"Bang!"
Behind the two of them, the third black iron gate closed again.
Then, a whistling wind blew from nowhere, causing the body temperature of both of them to drop sharply.
"This is the wind blowing in from the exhaust vents to prevent the workers from suffocating in the mine." Ji Linglong knew a little about this.
"kindness!"
Ye Mu was of course aware of this.
He had no time to think about anything else. He was pondering the tunnel intersection on the map, recalling the eighth tunnel working face where Zhang Bufan and Kunpeng were assigned, and then looked at the mine in front of him that was interconnected in all directions.
"Come." Ye Mu gestured to Ji Linglong to walk towards the main tunnel entrance on the far right.
Although there is a hanging red crystal every hundred meters, the cold and humid environment in the mine, as well as the mentality of entering a closed environment, is still particularly depressing.
This is just what we can see and feel right now.
"Follow me closely." Ye Mu began to quicken his pace.
The entrance of the alley is about six meters wide.
The terrain gradually extends underground.
Wherever the two of them passed, they saw no one except for some road signs.
It was not until the two men reached the end of the main alley that they heard the sound of iron chiseling something.
"there!"
Ji Linglong pointed to the entrance of a lane and said, "The closest working area to us is right there. Let's go over there and find out the exact location of the eighth working area."
"That's all we can do."
Ye Mu had no other choice.
He originally thought that if he memorized the mine map, he would be able to familiarize himself with the route, but once he was in it, it was not as simple as he had imagined.
The two of them walked quickly.
What caught the eye was a group of men in short-sleeved shirts and shorts, waving chisels and axes, chiseling the stone wall around them.
There were many women and even a few teenagers nearby, all sweating profusely as they chiseled the stone wall.
In such a cold and humid environment, the workers are still sweating profusely?
Seeing this, Ye Mu was about to rush over.
However--
“Bang!”
Suddenly, there was a sound of a whip cracking.
Then came a shout: "Stop being lazy! I'll let you be lazy! Hurry up and dig!"
"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him. He's still a child. Please stop hitting him. We promise to hand over all 100 White Mysterious Crystals in three days. We promise..."
Panic cries for mercy rose and fell in the mine.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
However, no matter how the laborers begged for mercy, the whips continued to whip them hard.
At the same time, a stocky middle-aged man roared fiercely, "It seems you all know that you only have three days to turn in the black crystals. So cheer up and keep digging!"
"If I see you guys resting again, dinner tonight will be cancelled!"
This stocky, middle-aged man, dressed in a gray cloth shirt with a sign reading "Centurion" hanging on his chest, glared fiercely at the thirty or so people in the mine. "Three days, the last three days!"
As he spoke, he hummed a little tune, waved the whip in his hand, and walked towards another mine.
This scene was seen clearly by Ye Mu and Ji Linglong who were not far away.
"This bastard!"
Ye Mu really wanted to take down the arrogant centurion with one blow.
But Ji Linglong grabbed him and said, "Let's get down to business first. These disgusting guys will definitely not end well."
Ye Mu quickly calmed down.
He also understood that he really couldn't alert the enemy. At least he had to find Zhang Bufan and Kunpeng before he could find a way to deal with these so-called centurions!
Of course, he now has a new idea. Not only does he want to rescue Zhang Bufan and Kunpeng, but he also wants to rescue all the laborers here!
"Hello, I would like to ask, where is the eighth working surface? Does anyone know?" Ji Linglong walked over gently and asked with a smile.
When the laborers saw Ji Linglong, they were all slightly stunned.
When they saw Ye Mu coming over with a sign that read "Supervisor" hanging on his chest, they all looked panicked and immediately waved their axes and continued digging.
"We have no ill intentions. Can you tell us the location of the eighth working surface?" Ye Mu asked softly.
However, none of the thirty or so laborers dared to respond, but the movements of waving the chisel and axe in their hands became faster and faster.
The young man who had been beaten before looked at Ye Mu eagerly, and with the help of the adults around him, he swung the chisel.
Ye Mu and Ji Linglong could no longer bear to watch.
This group of so-called Dark Realm members actually captured women and children as laborers...
"Take this off." Ji Linglong suddenly realized the word "supervisor" on Ye Mu's clothes.
Ye Mu suddenly realized and tore off the word "supervisor". "Sorry, I made you misunderstand. Actually, I am a fake supervisor, just to make a living."
"Don't get me wrong, we were captured just like you, but we were luckier..." Ji Linglong also began to explain, and glanced at Ye Mu at this point.
Ye Mu nodded.
Ji Linglong then continued: "This is what happened..."
She used the briefest words to recount the story of Ye Mu pretending to be the son of the Dark King and how he was locked up in the mine by the eldest son Ye Xuan.
At this point, the laborers gradually put down their chisels and axes and looked at Ye Mu in amazement.
It was obvious that the workers did not believe Ji Linglong's explanation at all.
The reason they were surprised was that they didn't expect that the two people could make up such a story.
"In fact, I not only want to rescue my friends, I also want to rescue all of you." Ye Mu sincerely assured everyone.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
However, no one believed it, and they picked up the chisel and axe and started digging again.
