Chapter 29: Returning to the Heart (Asking for Recommended Collections)
Two days later, Wang Chen returned to the gold mine of the bandit base, and after five days of overtime work day and night, the Xie clan had actually dug nearly twenty kilometers of tunnels, although everyone looked tired but all of them were enthusiastic.
"Old Xie, just complete the task according to the general work intensity, don't let the clansmen have any accidents at this time, after all, they have been waiting for hundreds of years, and they don't care about these ten days and half a month." Looking at the tired looks of these people, Wang Chen said to Xie Rong.
He didn't want to look at these people, in order to see the outside world as soon as possible and die of fatigue, these people are some baby bumps, one less is a huge loss, not to mention their ability to follow the gold ** flow, just relying on the furnace iron drill to smelt the gold This technology is enough to make Wang Chen treat them as treasures.
"Huh! As long as we have enough food and water, we only need two hours of sleep a day to recover our energy and energy. Xie Rong said with a look of no problem.
"Oh! If that's the case, I won't say much, and if the food and water are not enough, feel free to tell me. Wang Chen saw that Xie Rong's expression didn't look fake, so he didn't say anything more.
"The water is still very sufficient, but the food is estimated to last for two days." Xie Rong said with some embarrassment.
"You reassure the people that there will be no shortage of food." Wang Chen said with the corners of his mouth twitching a few times.
But I was thinking in my heart: "This group of people is really hungry ghosts, and they have prepared food for half a month, and they have eaten almost all in a few days, how can I meet some foodies?" That's the case with Big Dumb Bear, and it's like this group of people. ”
"Huh! Then I'm relieved. ”
In the next few days, Wang Chen found that the physique of the Xie clan was indeed very special, and they could work continuously for more than 20 hours every day, and they only needed to rest for an hour or two before they were alive again, which greatly accelerated the progress of the process.
After six days of almost non-stop excavation, the tunnel finally reached the bottom of the cliff of the secret base, and was connected to the elevator built by Dong Hua, so that the gold from the gold mine could be transported directly to the secret base through this tunnel in the future, and there would be almost no risk.
"Old Xie, going up from this elevator is everyone's new home, but before I go up, I need to explain a few points to you." Wang Chen said solemnly.
Then Wang Chen said his requirements: first, they can't leave the secret base to walk freely in the outside world for the time being; Second, Wang Chen promised to provide them with daily necessities, and they continued to help Wang Chen mine gold; Third, they must collectively pledge allegiance to Wang Chen, and any betrayal will be punished with the severest punishment.
Wang Chen thought it would cause a backlash, but he didn't expect things to go unexpectedly smoothly, and everyone knelt down on one knee to swear allegiance to him, which made him a little ashamed of his villainous heart.
"In that case, everyone will call me the leader in the future, I don't want to dominate, I just want to lead everyone to live well in this cruel world." Wang Chen said sincerely.
"Chief!"
"Chief!"
"Chief!"
Everyone raised their right hands and shouted to Wang Chen, obviously after these days of help and getting along, Wang Chen had gained the respect and gratitude of all of them.
Although being surrounded by a group of short people who are only one and a half meters tall and called the leader, no matter how you look at it, Wang Chen is still very excited, it is the first time to be recognized by so many people, and I believe that as long as he treats them sincerely in the future, they will definitely be his most loyal partners.
"That's it! Let's go up with me and see the outside world! ”
Although the blood moon outside was already hanging above their heads at this time, the people of the Xie clan could not see the sunshine outside, but when they saw the night outside, they also shed tears of excitement, for hundreds of years the ancestors have been trapped underground, and today the ancestors' long-cherished wish has finally been achieved in their own hands, how can they not be excited?
But the next morning, the people of the Xie clan became sad and desperate, because as soon as they were irradiated by the Yan Xing, they would feel unbearable pain, and their eyes would cry when they encountered a slightly stronger light.
"Professor Xu, what's going on?" Wang Chen saw their appearance and hurriedly called Xu Cheng and asked.
"In order to survive in that underground environment, the continuity of life forced their ancestors to change their genes, which have not been stimulated by sunlight for hundreds of years, so they have almost no immunity to sunlight, which is why this phenomenon is caused." Xu Cheng replied.
"Is there a solution to that?"
"It takes a long process, at the beginning of every afternoon, go to the cave to let the wind out, and at the same time stimulate their genes with life elixirs, so that they can first adapt to the living environment without direct sunlight, and then go out and slowly adapt to the sunny environment!" Xu Cheng thought for a while and said.
"Everyone has also heard that things have not yet reached the level of complete despair, but it just needs a process, since everyone really follows me, I will not be stingy with resources to help everyone adapt to the living environment outside as soon as possible." Wang Chen looked at the desperate crowd and comforted.
After listening to Wang Chen's words, the people of the Xie clan slowly stabilized their emotions, and Wang Chen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, this is okay, those who are anxious to see the outside world can also settle down.
And as long as they adapt to the living environment outside, Wang Chen should also have the ability to protect themselves, and even if they leave, they will not easily betray him.
Since they could not survive in the outside world for a long time, the members of the Xie clan returned to the underground and began to continue mining gold.
Wang Chen came to the biological laboratory in the middle of the cliff with the banyan sapling, and planned to plant it in the bowl-sized round hole in the center of the laboratory, which was directly connected to the bottom of the cliff and the top of the cliff.
The banyan tree will slowly grow upwards and grow a rhizome down the circular hole, absorbing the water and nutrients from the cliff below, as well as the life energy that irrigates it in the laboratory, and then branches down the tunnel to send oxygen into the gold mine.
Of course, in the future, the banyan tree will grow more aerial roots that extend to the cliff to stabilize the cliff, and at the same time improve its grip ability, as well as its ability to absorb underground water and nutrients, otherwise when it grows up, with more and more caves on the cliff, sooner or later the cliff will collapse.
After everything was dealt with almost completely, Wang Chen was also ready to go back to the bandit base, and it was time to make a break with those who had been wandering outside the bandit base for a long time.
