Chapter 342: Being Treated as a Monster
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What's the problem?"
The space spirit said helplessly: "In your world, the emperor's power is supreme, and any good things will be snatched away."
"If those people knew that the tools here are sharper than weapons, I'm afraid it would bring disaster upon them."
Su Nuan agreed, because there were so many people in the north and their lives were not good, so it was normal for a few people to rebel.
But we can't stop developing just because of this. If we can centrally manage the tools, we won't have to worry even if someone doesn't report it.
When someone comes to check, just make sure he can't find the tools.
But how can we put the tools in a centralized place? Do we have to distribute them and collect them every day?
Su Nuan scratched her head irritably. "The system in the North is in chaos right now. I don't know what to do."
The space spirit said, "Maybe Wu Long has a solution. We can ask him. After all, the era he traveled from isn't that far away."
"Don't think too much about it yet. All you have to do is get some coal in."
There is not enough coal in the space to keep the factory running.
Mentioning coal, Su Nuan suddenly remembered what Ling Yun said, "Oh, I forgot. I promised to help him check it out."
Su Nuan grabbed a steel ingot and left the space. She appeared in the room, and the space spirit followed her out. Although it was still in the form of a little doll, it became translucent so that others could not see it.
The door panel vibrated and the knocks were rapid and impatient.
Su Nuan quickly responded, "I'm coming, if you knock again the door will break."
She opened the door and saw Ling Yun standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan and saw that she was unharmed. He asked unhappily, "If you're here, why don't you respond? I was about to break in."
Su Nuan glanced sideways. "Is it not okay for me not to respond? Is it not okay for me to sleep in? Why do I have to open the door just because you knock?"
"What if I'm on the toilet in the house? Would you break in and take a look?"
Ling Yun's cheeks flushed instantly, and after a long pause he said, "I'm just... worried about you."
Su Nuan lowered her eyes. It turned out that when arguing with a man, one needed to shift the blame. With this explanation, he didn't dare to get angry anymore even though he was right.
She pretended to be generous and said, "Forget it, I'll forgive you this time, but don't be so impulsive next time."
Ling Yun's mind was a little confused. He felt that he was the one who was right, but now he couldn't be tough.
The space spirit watching the two of them laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She held her stomach and said, "How unreasonable! He's clearly not at all wrong, but you make it seem like it's all his fault when you say that."
Su Nuan glanced at Space Spirit and ignored her.
"Um...are we going to the mines?"
Ling Yun nodded, "Yes, it will rain soon."
Su Nuan looked at the sky. It was gloomy. It would be inconvenient to travel if it rained.
"Okay, let's go."
Ling Yun suddenly saw the steel ingot in Su Nuan's hand. He asked in surprise, "Is that the sacred iron in your hand?"
Su Nuan immediately hid the steel ingot behind her, "What sacred iron? I don't have it."
Ling Yun's eyes darkened. Such a good thing would definitely be given to his brother by his sister-in-law, and he was not worthy of asking for it.
He asked angrily, "Do you want to eat something?"
Su Nuan didn't notice Ling Yun's mood. She shook her head repeatedly, "No, I'm not hungry. Wait for me to get my backpack."
She went into the house to get her backpack, sorted out the things inside, packed some river water and dried meat, and put the steel ingot back into the space.
The two men went out and climbed directly over the cliff because the entrance to the mine was not far from the cliff.
Su Nuan had been there last time. This time, when she arrived at the cave entrance, she didn’t see any piles of coal. It must have been transported into the cave for storage.
However, the entrance to the hole was dug from the ground, and the edges of the hole were not reinforced with wood.
Going down is the mine tunnel, a rectangular passage that can accommodate one-way entry and exit of carts.
Su Nuan touched the wall of the cave. It was not reinforced and it would fall apart when touched. Fortunately, it was shallow now, so even if it collapsed, she could still escape.
However, the deep cave walls are not reinforced, so if a collapse occurs, people will be buried alive.
Ling Yun asked: "Did you see those strange things yesterday?"
The team leader nodded, "Yes, I have seen it during this period, day and night."
Ling Yun guessed, "Maybe it's dark inside the cave, so they thought it was a dark sky."
As soon as Su Nuan heard it, she knew that Ling Yun mistook those hallucinations for demons and monsters, but she didn't say anything.
The mine tunnel is very narrow and only two people can walk side by side. When you get to the bottom, you can only use torches to light the way.
Su Nuan felt that what the space spirit said about gas was not right. If there was gas, the torch would directly ignite the gas and cause an explosion.
Ling Yun saw that there was still a lot of coal on the cave wall and asked, "Why don't you dig it up? You can expand the mine tunnel by digging it up."
The captain shook his head. "We're worried that if we dig too big, it will collapse. Although this coal isn't very hard, it's large enough to hold the sides together."
Ling Yun nodded, what the captain said made sense.
Su Nuan quickened her pace and walked deeper. She would talk about the mine tunnel later and solve the key problem first.
There were only three people going down into the mine, and the rest were resting. It seemed that those strange creatures tortured them to a point where they were worse than death.
After walking for half an hour, they finally arrived at the place where there were strange things.
This is the end of one of the tunnels, which ends in a very large sinkhole.
Su Nuan looked at the big pit in front of her and asked, "Did the strange thing happen after we dug here?"
The captain nodded. "Yes, we saw this big pit when we dug here. It was too dark so we didn't dare to go down to check. Then, something strange happened not long after."
Su Nuan took out a rope from her backpack, nailed the iron fiber and tied the rope.
"I'll go down and take a look."
The space spirit warned: "Throw a tinder down there. If there's any poisonous gas, the tinder will go out before it hits the ground."
A tinder can burn for a quarter of an hour. If it goes out quickly when you fall to a very deep depth, it means there is no oxygen below.
Su Nuan obediently took out the tinder and asked before lighting it: "Do you smell gas? Don't throw this tinder down and let it explode."
The space spirit said: "No, do you think I'm stupid?"
Su Nuan touched her nose. She was sometimes not smart, but she didn't dare to say it.
She blew up the tinder and threw it down. The tinder fell very far before it stopped.
Freeze frame does not mean that it is destroyed, it means that it no longer falls.
Su Nuan tied the rope around her waist and said, "Xiao Yun, you hold the rope from above. If I fall to the ground and get into danger, just pull the rope continuously and you will pull me up."
Ling Yun said worriedly, "I'll go down, you wait upstairs."
Su Nuan glared, "Can you solve the problem by going down there? It's very likely that the source of those strange things is down there."
"Now I suspect there are hallucinogenic weeds or mushrooms underground."
After hearing this, Ling Yun no longer insisted, because he was helpless when encountering these plants, and Su Nuan, with her medical skills, would definitely be able to identify them.
He nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Su Nuan nodded, pulled the rope, and walked down the cliff step by step.
The space spirit said, "I'll go down and take a look first. I don't think it's as simple as a poisonous weed."
Su Nuan asked anxiously: "How far can you stay away from me? Don't come back!"
