Chapter 80: Escape
Looking at the corpses dug out by the people below, each one was smashed beyond recognition. Except for close relatives, almost no one could recognize who they were.
Perhaps we can take advantage of this unexpected opportunity to escape and completely get rid of our status as fugitives.
"Dahua, check inside to see if there are any survivors besides the people from Baixiang Village."
The Piranha Plant had no idea what big thing Lin Yue was planning to do, but it was still a bit difficult for it to explore the area within a few miles.
"Lin Yue, my roots can't reach that far. If I want to see if the person below is alive, I need to change my position. The top is the most accurate."
Lin Yue watched as they dug harder and faster, unable to delay any longer.
"It depends on whether there are any living people around them."
Since Lin Yue intends to let the people of Baixiang Village escape, there cannot be any risk of exposure.
The Piranha Plant felt around and confirmed that except for the people trapped in the mine, the rest of the people were dead and their bodies were cold.
"No, they're all dead. Some have been crushed into a ball of flesh. If it weren't for the bones, I wouldn't even be able to recognize them as human beings."
Now that the risk of leakage has been eliminated, the only thing to consider is how to get the people of Baixiang Village out without anyone noticing. These spiritual plants of mine cannot be exposed.
Knock them out, and then let the purple vines roll them all up?
No, I can’t do that. What if I hit him too hard and hurt his brain?
If only I could make them lose all five senses for a moment, even if they doubted me afterwards, they wouldn't dare to ask me.
Oh, and there are poppies, which should be able to solve such problems.
"Poppy, can you temporarily make someone lose all five senses, or make them lose a certain memory?"
Lin Yue waited expectantly for an answer, otherwise she would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Lin Yue, these two requirements are too difficult. I am just a flower that can create illusions. My meager spiritual power can hardly perform such advanced illusions. If I practiced for a thousand years, I could barely give it a try.
But the scent of my flowers can make them temporarily unconscious, so they won't be aware of what's happening in the outside world."
Lin Yue, who was originally disappointed, became happy again in an instant. Isn’t this exactly the effect she wanted?
"You were panting so hard while talking that you almost delayed our plan. There are 592 people down there. Are you sure you can be so powerful?"
It’s not that Lin Yue doesn’t believe in poppies, but this matter cannot be missed. If one person sees the strange plants, it is very likely that the entire Baixiang Village will know about it.
Then, as the person who saved them, I would come into their sight, and my every move would be monitored. From then on, anything that was even slightly beyond human control would be suspected.
Then it is only a matter of time before Jingyue Valley is discovered. After all, the plants are very simple and would not know if they were being exploited.
This concerns her own safety and Jingyue Valley, so she cannot help but take it seriously!
"Of course, the mine tunnel down there is so narrow and the aroma is so concentrated, even if there are a few more people, it's actually easier than covering for you at night!"
Lin Yue rolled her eyes at it and said, "Hurry up and knock them all out! Can't you see we're about to dig near them?"
Lin Yue didn't dare to gamble on human nature. People are greedy and their needs are different at a certain time. It is better to nip the danger in the bud!
"Plop, plop."
The people who were originally happy about the fresh air and being able to survive smelled a faint fragrance, and then they all fell to the ground unconscious.
"Dahua, quickly roll them all up and then collapse the mine."
Seeing that the people below were about to dig nearby, Lin Yue became very anxious. If she was discovered, she was afraid that she would really have to flee and become a savage overseas.
The operating capabilities of the Piranha Plant should not be underestimated. Soon, hundreds of unconscious people fell to the ground like dumplings. At the same time, the mine below collapsed again. The loud bang just covered the sound of people falling to the ground, and also attracted the attention of the army.
"Ah! Why did it collapse again? I'm really going to die!"
The manager knew what had happened when he heard a loud noise. He had been digging for a long time but had not found a single living person except a dead body with its head smashed to pieces.
The mood was already extremely bad, and now it collapsed again. There is no one left alive inside. If this continues, these surviving miners will not be able to go to work and mine.
If I can't deliver the iron ore on time, the people above me will be in trouble no matter whether the miners are buried or not.
"Stop digging. Rest today and continue digging tomorrow."
The officer in charge waved his sleeves and left. He had to deal with the scouts sent by the army later, so he had no time to comfort these fugitives.
In fact, the prisoners had already given up hope. All they dug out were bodies that were smashed into a bloody mess, and some had even turned into a ball of meat paste.
Now that the mine tunnel has collapsed once again, it’s even more hopeless. Everyone is lying on the ground, as if they have seen their own future and have no motivation to live anymore.
Min lost consciousness after smelling a familiar fragrance in the mine.
When he opened his eyes and saw his daughter, the first thought that came to his mind was that he had smelled the fragrance on Lin Yue.
Aren’t you in the mine?
Am I hallucinating?
"Mother, mother, you are safe now."
Lin Yue helped the still dazed Min up and spoke softly.
They were on a slope, so no one could see them.
Min used Lin Yue's strength to stand up, only to find that everyone in Baixiang Village was lying unconscious on the ground.
"What happened? Where is this place? I remember I was in a collapsed mine tunnel before. How did I get here all of a sudden?"
Min looked at Lin Yue in confusion.
"This is on the south side of the mine. You can see the mine clearly from here. I brought you midnight snacks from here before.
When I arrived today, I found that the entire mine had collapsed. The prisoners outside were constantly digging to save people, but the unsatisfactory thing was that all they saw were corpses that were smashed beyond recognition.
So after I confirmed that you were still alive, I made a decision, which was to escape and completely get rid of my identity as a fugitive. So I fished you all out, and from then on you can stay on the island temporarily! "
Min was shocked when she heard this. The child made a hasty decision without even discussing it with the adults. He decided to rescue them from the mine without telling anyone.
"Good boy, go wake up your father and uncle. We need to discuss this. What you did is not very rigorous."
Lin Yue hugged Min's arm and acted coquettishly, "It's not because I have you, my father, and the Lin family backing me up, otherwise how could I dare to be so bold!"
Min, who was originally a little serious, suddenly smiled happily, "You." She touched Lin Yue's nose lovingly.
