When all the Snapdragon Guards instantly began to work overtime to mine and produce, Ye Chen brought Song Ruyu, led by Yin Xiaoyang, to the underground mine that imprisoned thousands of dead soldiers and their families.
There were a total of three openings in this underground mine, the original design was that two were used to mine and transport phosphate ore to the surface, and the other was specifically used to ventilate the entire underground mine interior.
Now, the mine’s ventilation openings had been completely blocked by arm-thick iron fences, ensuring that only ventilation was possible, and that it was impossible for anyone to escape from here.
On top of that, the two mine exits that were originally designed to transport phosphate ore were all firmly blocked with thick iron gates, the three battalions of primus guards had specialised guards here, and the control of the lifts was also in the hands of the primus guards, with the gates closed and the lifts shut down, it was simply impossible for the dead soldiers below to escape.
Moreover, although the dead soldiers and the primus guards are equivalent to prisoners and guards, their destinies are not different, the dead soldiers can’t leave the mine without permission, while the primus guards have a few kilometres more radius than they do, and no one is able to leave the shackles at will, with the Duke Mining’s mining area as the boundary.
Because of this, the dead soldiers wouldn’t even try to escape either, because it was useless to escape, once the antidote’s statute of limitations was up, they would surely die.
When the three of them arrived at the entrance, Yin Xiaoyang then directly said to the primus guards guarding the place, “Open the lift, we’re going down.”
The primus guards were obedient to his orders, so they naturally didn’t dare to be slow, immediately opening the gate, and then sending electricity to the lift.
The lights inside the lift lit up, and Yin Xiaoyang immediately said to Ye Chen and Song Ruyu, “Mr Ye, Miss Song, the two of you please!”
Ye Chen nodded and took the lead to enter the interior of the lift, Song Ruyu also followed closely and walked in, Yin Xiaoyang entered last, and then pressed on the signalling machine, the primus guards who received the signal immediately activated the lift, and rapidly descended towards the bottom of the mine.
During the rapid descent of the lift, Yin Xiaoyang asked Ye Chen: “Mr Ye, in a moment, do you need me to gather all the dead soldiers and their families?”
Ye Chen said, “You first gather the heads of all levels of the dead soldiers, I will first explain the situation clearly to them, then let them gather everyone together, so that they can personally talk to their robes and family members to understand, this is also more convincing, moreover, I am too late to detoxify all of them today, so I can only detoxify the heads of all levels first, let them trust me, then let them then organise everyone’sEvacuate first, and then detoxify the others after evacuating to a safe place.”
After saying that, Ye Chen asked him, “When was the last time everyone took the medicine?”
Yin Xiaoyang immediately said, “Back to Mr Ye, everyone just took the antidote the day before yesterday, so there is still plenty of time.”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “Good, there is enough time.”
The lift travelled for about a minute, and after arriving at the bottom of the mine, a man immediately greeted him, and when he saw that it was Yin Xiaoyang, he immediately said respectfully, “Commander Yin, why did you come down personally?”
Yin Xiaoyang spoke, “There are some important matters that I need to communicate with you, and I’ve worked hard to gather your commanding officer as well as all the thousand households and flag captains to the front hall to deliberate.”
The dead soldier immediately said, “Commander Yin, please move to the front hall for a moment, my subordinate will go and inform the Commander!”
