Mo Yuan found Zhou Yongli and explained his purpose.
The other person shrugged and said, "Brother, to be honest, I usually just play with pens and draw. I'm not good at writing or drawing. I don't really have any wrenches, pliers, or screwdrivers like you mentioned. But don't worry, these things aren't rare in our mine. I'll take you downstairs to get a set. They must have extra spares in their tool room down there. I'll get you a set so you won't have any trouble using them!"
Mo Yuan naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and followed Zhou Yongli down the cable car to the bottom of the well.
It took Mo Yuan a while to adjust. Although there were lights in the mine tunnels, it was still underground.
It still seemed rather dark, especially compared to the ground. As soon as he landed, Mo Yuan couldn't help but shiver!
Zhou Yongli and Mo Yuan were both wearing short sleeves. Afraid that Mo Yuan wouldn't understand, he shivered as he explained to Mo Yuan, complaining, "It's cold down here. Many workers go down into the mine wearing cotton-padded coats, only taking them off when they sweat. I figured we could just grab our tools and leave, so we didn't go through all this trouble. Besides, most of those cotton-padded coats have been worn by other workers and are full of the smell of sweat. I imagine Brother Mo isn't used to it either, so just bear with it!"
Mo Yuan wasn't one to be pretentious. Seeing that the other person was in the same boat as him, he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care!
"Let's go, walk a hundred or two meters ahead, that's where the tools are stored. They'll definitely have what you need there. Let's grab them quickly so we can get up there; it's freezing down here! Strange, it's only June, it's never been this cold before."
What was said in jest was taken seriously by Mo Yuan. He had initially thought this was normal, since he wasn't familiar with the conditions in the mine and this was his first time going down.
But listening to Zhou Yongli's mutterings, I suddenly thought of news reports I had seen in later years.
Then came the above science information, which was quite surprising.
My heart skipped a beat. Could it be such a coincidence?
Trying hard to recall the warning information in my mind, as if by divine inspiration, some relevant information immediately appeared in my mind.
Mo Yuan carefully familiarized himself with this knowledge while simultaneously comparing it with real-world situations.
I'm increasingly apprehensive, my heart is sinking, and it's not just because of the temperature.
They felt they had either gotten incredibly lucky or were extremely unlucky.
He discreetly touched the mine wall beside him; it was very slippery, and the air was damp.
There was even some mist, which seemed to match everything, but thankfully you didn't smell anything unusual.
Mo Yuan was still not quite sure, and hoped that he was just overthinking it.
After all, there are so many workers in this mine, and they probably know more than I do. Everything is normal now.
It shouldn't be anything serious, at least not in the immediate future.
Either he's overthinking it, or even if something had happened, he would have already grabbed his tools and gone back to the surface.
I'm not in any danger!
While Zhou Yongli was pondering this silently, he had already led his men to the tool room.
Inside was a tall, dark-skinned man in his thirties.
Zhou Yongli spoke first, introducing, "Brother Mo, this is Lao Wang, Captain Wang. He's very familiar with things down here. Lao Wang, this is a guest from our mine who needs a set of tools, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, and the like. I don't have any, so I had to come to you for help!"
Mo Yuan greeted the other person, but the other person wasn't very enthusiastic, only nodding, seemingly not good with words.
After listening to Zhou Yongli's words, he turned around and took out a green electrician's bag from under the table.
"This has everything you need. See if it's enough. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll find it for you!"
Mo Yuan opened his backpack and looked inside. It was all there. "Thanks, Captain Wang. That should be enough!"
Zhou Yongli should know who the other party is, because there wasn't a single bit of small talk involved.
Perhaps he wasn't used to the environment underground, and seeing that Mo Yuan was satisfied, he couldn't wait to leave!
"Alright! Old Wang, you're busy now. We're heading back. I'll have someone bring it back to you when we're done! Bye!"
After saying that, he tried to pull Mo Yuan away.
Mo Yuan followed for a couple of steps, still somewhat uneasy. He hoped everything was alright.
It's better to be safe than sorry. If something really happens, and you just stand by and do nothing, your conscience won't allow it!
Moreover, not only Bao Ruijin but also the mine has been quite good to me. In any case, I can't pretend nothing happened!
Otherwise, not only would he feel guilty, but if something really went wrong, the mine would be held responsible, and Bao Ruijin would also lose face.
"Captain Wang, I don't know as much about what's going on down the mine as you do, so I shouldn't be interfering. But I just felt that the temperature down there was a bit off, and it was also much damp. I read in a book that this is a sign of water seepage. I wonder if that's true?"
Mo Yuan couldn't help but turn around and tell the truth.
By adding,
"Why don't we go out and take a look, Captain Wang? Hopefully I'm just overthinking it. It's better to be safe than sorry!"
"The temperature is already low down in the mine, and it's normal for the air to be humid. You're all dressed so lightly, it's no wonder you're cold!"
Captain Wang spoke with a blank expression, seemingly unconvinced by what Mo Yuan said.
But he still obediently walked outside to check the situation!
Zhou Yongli, standing to the side, echoed his sentiments repeatedly.
"Yes, Brother Mo Yuan, it's understandable that you're unfamiliar with the mine since it's your first time down there. This has always been the case underground, and besides, Old Wang has been working in the mine for over ten years and is very experienced. There's no way anything will happen to him! Don't worry, let's hurry up and go!"
Despite saying that, Mo Yuan remained unmoved, his gaze fixed intently on Captain Wang.
At first, Captain Wang didn't take it seriously, but after leaving the tool room, he felt the temperature and then walked to the mine wall and touched it with his hand.
With a serious expression, he carefully pressed his ear against the wall and listened intently.
His face grew increasingly pale, and by this time, even Zhou Yongli could tell that something was wrong!
"Old Wang, don't scare me. Nothing bad will happen, will it?"
Mo Yuan then timely reminded them, "For now, everything should be fine. At least we haven't smelled anything strange. Quickly ask the people inside if there's anything unusual."
Captain Wang looked at Mo Yuan in surprise, not expecting that the young man knew so much!
I originally wanted to go to the tool room to call and ask, but then I thought I wouldn't feel at ease, so I decided to go inside and check the situation myself!
Just as he was about to get up and took two steps, someone grabbed his arm!
Looking back, it was Mo Yuan.
"Captain Wang, time is of the essence! I think I smell something else. Listen carefully, the sound of flowing water is getting louder! Sound the alarm immediately and evacuate everyone. If we're too late, something terrible might happen!"
Zhou Yongli, standing to the side, was pale-faced and couldn't help but mutter, "It can't be that serious, can it? County Chief Bao is still at the mine. What if nothing happens? This sudden scare is..."
Without waiting for a reply, Mo Yuan said firmly and decisively, "What time is it? Stop thinking so much. It'll be too late if something goes wrong! If nothing happens, I'll talk to County Chief Bao. Now, let's retreat!"
Seeing Mo Yuan's unwavering resolve, Captain Wang pondered for a few seconds before nodding emphatically.
"I'll sound the alarm! Everyone evacuate!"
