Chapter 5: Planning an Escape (1)

The system was still hesitant, and he instinctively thought that the value of that resource was absolutely unique.

Zero continues to enlighten him, move up another level, and see what new skills you can have?

Hearing this, he suddenly realized that he was a little bit enlightened, yes, if he was promoted to another level, what good way could he find? So, he decided to give it a try by moving up the next level.

Confirmed, start the promotion. This time, the process was much slower than the last time, the previous time it should have taken only ten minutes, this time it was more than an hour. Zero still had some impressions of the previous time, and was impatient to wait for a long time, so he went to mine first. Now that he is digging again, he is much more skilled than he was at the beginning, and he is very efficient.

Moreover, all the excavated soil and rocks were cleaned up in time. Why do you want to do this? In fact, he just has a personal preference, and he has no specific intentions, and he simply feels that it is too uncomfortable to look at the mess like in the past. In fact, his pit is already more than ten layers underground, and he is not uncomfortable.

Since it is a spirit stone mine, the concentration of the escaping spiritual energy is good, and the air in the depths of the pit is only thinner and not very dirty, of course, compared to the fresh air outside, it is still much worse. The most harmful to the health of the miners is the ubiquitous dust, the darkness and depression, and the despair and numbness.

The mine owners don't treat them as ordinary people at all, they just see them as tools, and when they are broken, they are replaced with new ones, and that's it.

Even if they have been "feeding" the miners for many years to suppress their mental excitement, there are still a few miners who will try to escape, and this is not a place where normal people can stay for a long time!

Escape is nothing more than through a tight blockade outside the mine and digging tunnels underneath.

As mentioned earlier, it is impossible for ordinary mine slaves to sneak out from above, and they are all captured alive and then tortured and tortured to death, without exception.

The second way is also not a chance. It's no worse than any prison, digging tunnels under the dark, countless miners have tried, and those who have successfully escaped are not nothing, but there are too few and too few. The vast majority of them died in various "dead ends".

Why does Fat Bear care so much about Zero? There are almost no examples like him who have survived in the pit for more than 20 years. Do the math, this zero has saved a lot of money for the bear fat man, and he has also earned a lot of money.

"It's done. ”

Mission: The system is promoted for the second time. Reward: Host Essence Increased. A chime sounds.

Hearing this, Zero quickly stopped and asked, "How about this time?"

"The harvest is great, a lot," the system replied excitedly, "which good news would you like to hear first?"

Zero doesn't matter, whatever, say whatever you want first.

The system didn't have the heart to continue playing dumb riddles, and happily announced: "Master, let me tell you, we have a way to leave this ghost place now!"

Ahh Didn't you just have no choice, but now why is there a way to do it all of a sudden?

The system immediately explained excitedly: "Before, my level was level 1, and the search range was only limited to a kilometer. Now that it has been promoted to the second level, the search range has suddenly expanded to less than 10,000 meters, and the search capability has increased by more than 1,000 times. ”

Zero didn't understand very well, he just didn't know what to do.

The system also thought that it should be difficult for the owner to figure out his situation, so he went straight to the point: "The point is that I have a clear grasp of the scope of the mining area, and I can guide you in the right direction, and it will take about two years to dig the tunnel." ”

Zero understood these two sentences. The system didn't mention this plan before, because if you can't find the right direction and determine a safe exit, you will dig blindly, which is simply looking for death. More than half of the dry bones that can often be seen in the pit are left behind by dead miners who dug tunnels.

They can only dig forward with all their strength based on their feelings, but they often turn in an irregular circle and die in sorrow, despair, and helplessness. All the mine owners knew about it, and they simply ignored it.

Over time, of course, people from the outside world will also know about this situation, and they all call it "ghost hitting the wall" in fear.

Most of the people here in the Zero Realm are people from various races led by the beast clan, the demon clan, the demon clan, and the sea clan, and the number of human races is not small, but their strength is very weak and their status is low. Most of the spirit stone mines like to capture Terrans as mining slaves.

The Oni are a mysterious and powerful people with an unknown number of people, and few people are willing to deal with them. The so-called ghosts hit the wall, and the ignorant people in the middle and lower classes mistakenly thought that the ghost clan was responsible.

All the races of the mortal realm are collectively referred to as mortals, and the other races are also generally in human form, with the exception of pure beasts, which are called "beast relatives" by the beasts. The lifespan of a mortal should theoretically range from three to five hundred years.

Terrans are usually much less few, and it would be nice to be a hundred years old. For example, mine slaves generally only lived to be thirty or forty years old.

The big man in the real ghost clan should be able to have a five-hundred-year-old birthday star. But everyone usually works hard against time to cultivate and strive to become a god as soon as possible, and who has the leisure to make fun of others so boringly? No one likes to do things that have no real benefits.

In fact, there is a similar situation in reality. When walking at night or in the suburbs, I can't tell the direction, my self-perception is blurred, and I don't know where to go, so I always go in circles. When you tell others about this experience, it is difficult for others to understand, so it is called "ghost hitting the wall", which is actually a hazy state of human consciousness.

In fact, when the eyes are closed, or at night or in the suburbs, there is a slight difference in the length of the two feet, after which one falls into a circle with a radius of about three or four thousand meters.

People will be "left-handed" or "right-handed", that is, the strength and agility of the left and right hands and left and right feet are different. When people can see the target all the time, they can easily adjust the direction and angle at any time, and they can roughly walk in a straight line.

But people are not aware of it, and often mistakenly think that no matter how they go, they will go in a straight line, but in fact, they are not. In a word, the essence of biological motion is circular motion. If there is no goal, the instinctive movement of any living being is a circle.

Why? Because there are subtle differences in the body structure of living things, such as the wings of birds, there are subtle differences in the strength and muscularity of the two wings. There are also differences in the length and strength of people's two legs, and the distance of the steps taken in this way will be different, for example, the distance of the left leg is long, and the distance of the right leg is short.

This kind of false rumor, the ghost clan has long been heard, but they don't care about it, and they don't bother to refute the rumors.

Now that Zero has the system, and the system has been promoted again, his ability has been greatly improved at this moment, and he can clearly grasp the path within 10,000 meters, as well as the approximate exit at 10,000 meters, and the possibility of Zero escaping is now infinitely close to 100%.

It is equivalent to not being able to see it in the first place, but now it can easily see through the barrier of the 10,000-meter mine! In this way, digging through the tunnel and escaping is almost only a matter of time. Of course, you can't get carried away too much, you have to plan carefully and carefully and take all the details into consideration.

First, determine the direction in which the tunnel is being dug. This is the responsibility of the system, and it has found a relatively shortest distance route, and it is the highest density of spirit stones along the way. In this way, there is no delay in escaping and accumulating wealth in cultivation.

Second, it is necessary to determine whether to run away while digging tunnels, or whether to pretend to be normal and continue to be a mining slave first? Although the former is in a better mood and does not need to continue to "pay taxes," he no longer has the opportunity to replenish his "swill," and he does not know if he can continue to run away for a long time.

In fact, most of the mining slaves who tried to dig tunnels to escape were more than half of the reason they were "defeated" by excessive hunger and thirst.

The latter, who reluctantly "pays taxes" every day, can be replenished with "swill" from "poor Baba" every day. The trade-off is that the progress of digging tunnels is slowed down every day, and the farther you dig, the more reluctant you are to come back. Even if the miners were willing to come back, they might get lost. Zero has no such concerns.

Zero discussed with the system for a while, and decided that it would be safer to pretend to be "instigated" for a while.

The system easily sensed that the same was true for the wolf skinny man, who only sent the robot down twice a day to deal with errands, and it seemed that even if he knew that a miner had started digging a tunnel to escape, he would not have paid attention.

The most disgusting thing now is to replenish "swill" every day. Zero is also unclothed and smelly, but without a mirror, he can barely see how dirty he is, and he doesn't smell it, which he has long been used to.

The "swill" thing should have been very adaptable, but now that I have been cultivating for more than ten days, I suddenly began to dislike it.

Thirdly, it is a big problem for those miners who are groggy and do not know the difference between east and west, and only instinctively want to dig tunnels to escape. That is, there are too many earth and rocks excavated, and it is difficult to deal with them after a long time.

In the end, the hole became narrower and narrower, and there was no passage in front, but the back was getting closer and closer to blockage, and if they didn't get it right, they would bury themselves in it.

But this is not difficult for Zero, the mine has just decided to clean the pit on a large scale, using various layers of track that have not been used for a long time, and planning to transport hundreds of thousands of trains of slag, a total of millions of tons, to be completed in a month.

These were supposed to be miners' jobs, but the new miners didn't plan to do that at all, and the idea was to "do it once and for all", clean it up once, and then leave it alone. Who knows how many years of spirit stones you can earn as a mine owner?
