The King Level Evolver from Ice Wolf Island scread all the way down the mine shaft.
Luo ng said:
"Master Yang, let us go down and have a look, and you all co down too."
Luo ng spoke to Gu Beifeng and the others.
This was clearly ant to be a warning to Gu Beifeng and the others, to show them the tragic outco of those who attempted to escape.
Two Iron Tower Guards, Luo ng, Yuri, and Yang Xiao, along with others, went down to the mine shaft and heard continuous screams of "Ahh, Ahh, Ahh" from a distant tunnel, along with the sound of digging.
Two Iron Tower Guards led the way, and everyone followed.
At the end of the tunnel, the King Level Evolver from Binglang Country was seen desperately digging at the rock wall with an iron shovel, big chunks of purple rock kept falling off, along with purple Crystal Stones.
Yang Xiao and others had experience mining, and were sowhat surprised to see the intensity of his mining; his efficiency was at least three tis that of one person.
Luo ng said to Gu Beifeng and the others:
"Hurry and organize people to transport these rocks outside, two people stay up at the mine shaft, three people stay inside the tunnel, and five people coordinate with his mining activities."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao asked:
"Captain Luo, is this safe?"
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll leave two Iron Tower Guards here to supervise him. He wouldn't dare to ss around, otherwise he will be killed imdiately."
After speaking, Luo ng turned and left. Yang Xiao arranged for three people to stay in the mine to move rocks, the rest exited the mine.
After leaving the mine, two people stayed at the mine to transport rocks and the rest went to work in other mines.
"Master Yang, co, let's play chess, don't worry, there's no problem."
Yang Xiao nodded his head, did not ask further, and then played chess with Luo ng.
When it was ti for lunch, everyone ca out to eat, but the man from the island was still desperately mining below.
Yang Xiao asked:
"Captain Luo, isn't he going to eat?"
Luo ng laughed heartily and said:
"He won't eat. He now has a swelling power inside him that must be continuously mined to release. If he stops, his body will continue to expand to the point of explosion, so he can't stop."
Yang Xiao and Gu Beifeng, among others, listened in silence.
Yang Xiao was okay; he had already heard about this kind of cruel punishnt from Lucy. Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing, who heard it for the first ti, had shocked and uneasy expressions on their faces.
Luo ng laughed again:
"Don't worry, as long as you mine peacefully, I will not treat you like this. After all, he won't live more than seven days."
"Seven days?"
"Yes, if he continues mining like this without eating or drinking, he will exhaust his strength and die in seven days."
...
The al tasted bland.
The King Level Evolver from Ice Wolf Island kept digging in the tunnel day and night until the seventh day, when he finally collapsed inside the tunnel,
dead!
Luo ng ordered his body to be dragged out and displayed in the minefield, allowing Gu Beifeng and others to co and watch.
Actually, even without coming to see, everyone already knew the tragic fate of this Ice Wolf Islander, as he had been mining in the tunnel for seven consecutive days, witnessed by all.
Yang Xiao felt no joy or delight in his heart about the death of the Ice Wolf Islander, but rather a profound sorrow akin to fearing for the fox's death when the rabbit dies.
On this planet, Yang Xiao and the others were like low-level animals,
To put it more vividly, they were like the oxen raised by rural families on Earth in the past.
In fact, their status might even be lower than that of oxen.
In rural areas, oxen that plowed fields were treasured by farm families and were carefully taken care of all year round.
The other captured defectors from Ice Wolf Island t the sa fate,
Only, they died in other minefields, serving as a warning to miners in other minefields.
This incident made Yang Xiao abandon the slight hope he had harbored in his heart; he had initially hoped to gain a new life through his chess skills, but now seeing that Luo ng and others were extrely cruel, he realized that as a miner captured from Earth, it was impossible to achieve true equality.
If he wanted to live, and live better, there was only one way: to enhance his Evolution Ability and surpass them in Combat Power.
Yang Xiao asked everyone to carefully check inside the mine tunnel to see if there were any hidden surveillance devices. In the end, none were found, which relieved Yang Xiao.
Outside in the minefield, Gu Beifeng and the others did find several well-hidden surveillance devices. There were about a dozen spherical devices with diaters of half a ter surrounding the minefield, previously thought to be natural rocks. Now, after careful inspection, they realized they were devices, only disguised very well.
As for the working principle of these devices, Yang Xiao and the others didn't bother to think about it; they just needed to be more cautious in the future.
Luo ng appointed Yang Xiao as the person responsible for everyone, leading Gu Beifeng and the others. During the day, he would use the free ti after playing chess to inspect the excavation work in several mine pits.
Luo ng often had to inspect the other two minefields, and wasn't present every day at the minefield where Yang Xiao was. The only constant supervision of Yang Xiao was by the minefield's manager, Yuri.
Yang Xiao was Luo ng's honored guest, and Yuri naturally did not dare to offend Yang Xiao. Besides, Yuri himself wanted to learn Go from Yang Xiao.
Thus, whether in the minefield or the base, Yang Xiao was relatively free and not subjected to much interference.
There were four mining shafts in this minefield. One day, on a whim, Yang Xiao drew a rough sketch of the minefield. Looking at the direction of the mine tunnels on the sketch, a bold idea suddenly erged in his mind, and he beca unsettled.
On this rough sketch, two of the mine tunnels had extended beyond the outer edge of the minefield's surveillance, even over a hundred ters beyond the actual controlled surface area.
Yang Xiao went to find Luo ng,
"Captain Luo, I've been at the base every day recently, and have grown sowhat distant from the brothers, making it inconvenient to promptly understand their moods. I'm afraid incidents like the escape from Mine No. 10 might occur. Therefore, I'd like to stay overnight in the minefield every five days for 2 days to soothe the brothers' emotions and prevent them from going to extres."
Luo ng, now a Go expert at the base, had people seeking him out for gas every night. Additionally, after studying Go with Yang Xiao for two months, his desire to learn wasn't as strong.
Moreover, since Yang Xiao and Gu Beifeng and the others were performing well, he let his guard down towards Yang Xiao.
"Sure, spending more ti with your brothers is a good thing. Take good care of their emotions. As long as they don't make trouble and mine properly, I can give them preferential treatnt, and even supply so extra Genetic Potion to you all."
"Thank you, Captain Luo. Rest assured, we will focus on mining."
That evening, everyone gathered in the mine tunnel.
Yang Xiao took out a rough sketch and handed it to Lao Jiu.
"Lao Jiu, aren't you a geology major? Take a look at this for ."
Lao Jiu took the map, glanced at it, and said:
"What does this an?"
"Look, these two mine tunnels have extended beyond the periter of the controlled surface area. This one even extends more than a hundred ters out. If we could dig an upward passage, could we directly escape?"
