Chapter 1129: Indecision

After a hard day's work, lying on the hard bed, Zhang Yulong closed his eyes, just wanted to fall asleep as quickly as usual, so that he could have the energy to survive tomorrow, and Zhang Yulong had no idea about his fate.

"Yulong, have you heard?The nearby cities have been attacked by the beast tide?" Unlike usual, tonight, before Zhang Yulong fell asleep, a voice disturbed him.

"So what?" After responding in a daze, Zhang Yulong, who was sore and felt unusually cold, couldn't wait to fall asleep immediately.

"There are a lot of guards in the mines who go to the cities that have been attacked by the beast tide to collect treasures, haven't you noticed that the number of guards supervising our work has decreased in the last two days?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yulong, who was in a daze, was suddenly startled, and after thinking that his companion would not come to him for no reason to chat, he instantly came to his senses.

"Don't you want to escape from the mine?" the voice of the man next to him was very small, but every word came clearly to Zhang Yulong's ears.

"How can we escape? Those guards will definitely be staring at us more strictly than before!" In fact, Zhang Yulong had already guessed what the person next to him was going to say, but when the person next to him said it, Zhang Yulong had a cringe mentality.

"Yulong, didn't you say you wanted to escape before, don't you want to escape now?" Listening to Zhang Yulong's thoughtless tone, the will of the person next to him was affected to a certain extent, and there was some disappointment in his tone, but he still insisted on saying his thoughts, "If those fierce beasts break into the mine, we will definitely die." ”

"If only this were the case!" Because of the fear of the mine personnel, Zhang Yulong not only did not say anything that could make the other party feel pleased, but also showed a will to abandon himself and resign himself to fate, Zhang Yulong's reaction once again caused a certain blow to the people next to him.

"Yulong, I have already told Chen San and them, if there are fewer guards in the mine, we will wait for the opportunity to escape, do you want to come with us?" Hearing Zhang Yulong's timidity, the people next to him continued to insist on saying the purpose of coming to talk to Zhang Yulong.

On the other side, Zhang Yulong was a little moved after listening to the other party's words, and wanted to escape with the other party, but in an instant, he thought of the previous situation where those who escaped alone or together were punished, those people were broken legs or had their hands cut off, and even died because of serious injuries The tragic scenes shrouded Zhang Yulong's heart like a shadow, constantly devouring the courage that Zhang Yulong's heart breeded, making Zhang Yulong more and more afraid the more he thought about it, maybe Zhang Yulong was not born to be the kind of brave person, so he soon stood on the side of cowardice.

After a while, seeing that Zhang Yulong didn't speak, the person next to him still didn't ask, as if he was giving Zhang Yulong time to think about it, and waited silently beside him. It's a pity that Zhang Yulong thought about it for a long time, but finally didn't give him an answer.

The next morning, as usual, before dawn, the guards with leather whips woke everyone up, and those who did not want to get up were first whipped and then woke up, and every day there were always some people who could not get up after being whipped a few times, not because they wanted to be beaten, but because their bodies really did not recover.

Unfortunately, the guards did not take into account the physical condition of the servants, and the men who beat them cried out until they got up, and kept scolding "you dirty pigs", as if to vent their anger, blaming them for getting up early in such a cold season. All in all, the guards were trying to show that they didn't take hard labor as human beings.

In the first few days, Zhang Yulong couldn't stand the situation of those hard labor being beaten, and wanted to stand up for those who were beaten many times, but he was stopped by others in time, and then Zhang Yulong also saw many strong people being beaten more miserably, until now, Zhang Yulong, like many people, can only quietly watch those situations happen, dare not do anything, and even dare not have any superfluous thoughts.

After glancing at Xu Yuan, who had spoken to him last night, Zhang Yulong followed the team to the canteen to eat, eating those extremely unpalatable dirty and dirty dishes, but despite this, others had to rush to eat, because the food provided by the mine was often not enough for everyone to eat, and they were more likely to survive today only if they had a full stomach.

After devouring a lot of things, Zhang Yulong found that the start of work today was earlier than usual, but he didn't think about why. Carrying the bamboo cage on his back, Zhang Yulong continued to transport the waste materials out of the mine as usual. Often walking under the clear sky but not daring to have any ideas, under the close supervision of those fierce guards, Zhang Yulong could only think about how not to be beaten, and how long it was time to eat.

After the official start of construction, the things that Xu Yuan mentioned with him last night have been completely forgotten by him, under the closer supervision of these guards, Zhang Yulong not only did not feel that the number of guards had decreased, but also felt that their personnel had increased, so he was busy until the evening in fear at all times. For dinner, I still ate those dirty meals and vegetables, and competed with others in the laughter of those guards, and then went straight back to the resting place to lie down on the bed to rest.

"Yulong, have you thought it through?" After the guards turned off the lights for them and left, Xu Yuan came over again, and the thin voice was like thunder that made Zhang Yulong feel harsh, impacting Zhang Yulong's fragile will.

"Let's take a look," thinking of the fierce faces of those guards today, Zhang Yulong's idea of joining Xu Yuan flashed, and then he also thought that if there was a beast tide, he would hurry over, let him and those guards die here, maybe he could get away with it, Zhang Yulong had a lot of ideas, but he just didn't have the courage to think in the direction of escaping.

"Yulong, because this area is very dangerous, they have already asked us to rush to work today, and if we don't leave, we will really die of exhaustion in the mine," Xu Yuan's tone was a little anxious, because one more person joined them, there was a better chance of a successful escape, and Zhang Yulong was still one of the few third-order martial cultivators, with Zhang Yulong here, they were more sure of successfully escaping.

"Let's take another look!" In fact, Xu Yuan can make Zhang Yulong's heart move every time he speaks, but Zhang Yulong will lose his cowardice every time, and he can't think about running away at all.

"Yulong, then think about it, we plan to escape the night after tomorrow," Zhang Yulong's hesitation made Xu Yuan unable to understand, remembering that at first when Zhang Yulong was caught in, he wanted to escape more than them, but now that there is a suitable opportunity, Zhang Yulong retreated, and he was so timid, but unfortunately Xu Yuan couldn't force Zhang Yulong to join the gang, so after saying this, Xu Yuan didn't say more.

As soon as Xu Yuan left, Zhang Yulong, who was completely sleepy, fell into deep thought, he stayed in the mine for a month, enduring torture day and night, and now he had the possibility of escaping, but he didn't dare to do that, Zhang Yulong hated himself for being useless.

In fact, in the past time, Zhang Yulong has regretted coming to Lin Xuanzhong alone many times, and now he still regrets it when he thinks about it, but the emotion of regret is not as strong as before, and it is as diluted as his idea of wanting to leave here, the only thing that has changed is that Zhang Yulong is more and more attentive to looking forward to that kind of ethereal redemption.

Since he first heard Xu Yuan say that one day they will be saved if there is an army here, Zhang Yulong has been holding on to this idea, and regarded this as his lifeline, but unfortunately, the more he hoped to be saved, the weaker Zhang Yulong's will became. After a tiring day, Zhang Yulong didn't think much of the practical problems, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, many more people were whipped, and many people could not bear it just after a day's work, and it is conceivable that many people were on the verge of collapse and were driven by fear all the time.

In the screams one after another, some people were seriously injured and could not move, the actions of those guards were really terrifying, and after hurriedly going to the canteen to eat something, with a nervous psychology, Zhang Yulong didn't even dare to peek at those guards, just endure the soreness of his body and work with his head down, which didn't look like a person who had the idea of escaping at all.

Frightened for another day, thinking of what Xu Yuan had said two nights ago, Zhang Yulong, who was lying on the plank and curled up, was very worried, worried that Xu Yuan would come again to persuade him to escape.

"Jade Dragon, have you figured it out? We're going to do it tomorrow night. "If you don't want to hear it, you still have to listen, although Xu Yuan has seen that Zhang Yulong didn't dare to run away, he still doesn't give up and asks for the last time.

"How sure are you?" and Zhang Yulong had no idea of running away with them, but he was embarrassed to refuse directly.

"Eighty percent, when they relax their vigilance tomorrow night, and a few of us escape from the pre-researched route, there must be a high chance of success," Xu Yuan said with certainty, as if he had seen the scene after they escaped.

"How many of you are there?" Zhang Yulong, who originally wanted to wait for Xu Yuan to say that it was not easy to refuse Xu Yuan, was shocked when he heard Xu Yuan say that he was very sure, and suddenly cheered up.

"It's inconvenient to say this, as long as you agree, I will come to call you tomorrow night," came to talk to Lin Xuanzhong for three days in a row, Xu Yuan has actually been worried that the wall has ears, because someone escaped and was arrested before, precisely because some hard labor was arranged by the mine side to be the eyeliner of their side.

"Okay, I'll think about it again and give you an answer tomorrow," After being persuaded three times in a row, Zhang Yulong was indeed a little moved. If staying in the mine really means death, Zhang Yulong feels that it is better to fight with Xu Yuan and others to survive, so that even if he wants to die, he will have someone to accompany him. After thinking about it like this, the fear that shrouded Zhang Yulong's heart finally faded a lot.
