Tian Zhongchizhu composed himself and answered Li Ke's second question: "Each batch of people going down into the mine has one hundred people wearing special protective and isolation equipment. If used properly, these one hundred people can survive for one to two months while close to the solar energy mine. The others with poorer protection or no protection will be above the solar energy mine to coordinate with the people below. To put it bluntly, the current solar energy mining work is a project that uses human lives to fill the gaps. We have sent nearly 20,000 people down, and it is hard to say whether two or three thousand are still alive."
After answering Li Ke's second question, Tian Zhongchizhu stopped and looked at Li Ke, indicating that it was her turn to answer his question.
Li Ke didn't speak. Tian Zhongchi was about to urge him when he felt the pistol that had been pressed against his waist move. Chen Nanxing whispered a threat beside him: "Make everyone else leave."
Tian Zhongchizhu's face twisted in anger, and he gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice, "You idiot, are you rushing to your death?"
Chen Nanxing flicked the hidden spike on the gun, and Tian Zhongchizhu immediately felt a pain in his waist: "Idiot, you've already lost. She won't die no matter what. If you want to live, listen to me."
Tian Zhongchizhu had no choice but to comply, and all thirty guards who had been standing in front of them in the room left the room.
Chen Nanxing kicked Tian Zhongchizhu in the back of the knee, causing Tian Zhongchizhu to lose his balance and fall to his knees.
Chen Nanxing gave Li Ke a fawning smile, then carefully explained, "Too many people have died in this room. The smell of blood has spread. After you left for about half an hour, the people outside became suspicious and insisted on coming in. I had no choice but to pretend to cooperate with them for the time being. Sister Ke, I also found out two secret routes to leave this place. Please believe me, I have always been on your side."
Tian Zhongchi fell to the ground, sneering as he exposed Chen Nanxing: "That's not what you just said, you two-faced woman! Li Ke, this woman is treacherous by nature. She's willing to do anything to survive. Being with someone like that means she'll betray you at any time."
Li Ke wasn't interested in their mutual sabotage, but instead asked, "Who were these people you forced down into the mine? Once they went down, they were doomed. How did you control them?"
Tian Zhongchizhu didn't answer immediately. Li Ke raised his gun and pointed it at him. Thinking that Yilang also knew the answer, he immediately said, "Those people are slaves captured from the border and the inland. They are mostly from the East. We forced the people at the bottom to come down into the cave by using their families. The others, regardless of whether they had families or not, were forced down there. If they wanted to live and eat, they had to work. There was a rule that if they mined a solar energy ore, they could all climb up to a higher position in the mine and rest for a week. During that week, they would have meat, and it would be enough to fill their stomachs. Sometimes, in order to survive, humans can unleash unlimited potential."
"What about the workers in the other two mines? Were they also captured?" Li Ke then asked.
