"Still have questions?" yelled the overseer.

No one made a sound, and even breathing was slight, lest the overseers get impatient and shoot again.

"No problem, hurry up and get clothes and food, and in a moment I'll go down to work in the mines, and whoever is slow will be beaten in the ass!" the overseer growled.

Under the coercion of violence, the laborers had to change into the miners' special work clothes according to the orders of the overseer, gnaw on unpalatable food, and stared blankly at the dark entrance of the mine. More or less in their minds, they are thinking: Is that the end of my life?

An overseer walked up to Gao Yuan's side and said to him with admiration: "You are very good, after you go down the mine, these people will be handed over to your care." ”

As he spoke, he handed Gao Yuan a gun.

This is an old-fashioned firearm, and it still fires ancient bullets, and it is still effective against some martial artists around the Triple Heavens. However, the significance of firearms is not to kill, but to represent the recognition and trust of the overseers in Gao Yuan, which can be regarded as a symbol of power.

Gao Yuan stuck the gun in his waist, and some laborers looked at it enviously. After losing the courage to resist, they have already regretted that they did not obey just now, if they are willing to obey, this gun may be theirs, and the foreman may also fall on them, and now let Gao Yuan snatch it, which makes them feel like they have suffered a big loss.

Soon, the laborers became miners, wearing tin hats with a lamp at the top of the hat that could be used to illuminate the dark mines, and a long pipe underneath that connected to a large oxygen tank on the mountainside. The uniform is orange overalls, and there are tools such as pickaxes and shovels on the back.

The two overseers were dressed in the same way, with guns and hunting knives at their waists, and their faces were so fierce that the miners shuddered.

"Line up one by one, give me a good one. The overseer gave orders, and asked Gao Yuan to follow the first batch of miners down the mine to maintain order.

Gao Yuan was wondering whether to play the identity of the stowaway, at this time, a group of people came out of the mine, at the front were a few overseers, and behind them was a group of yellow-skinned miners, who were carrying some glittering ores on their backs, which attracted Gao Yuan's eyes at once.

"It's a good one. The overseer on Gao Yuan's side said.

"Hehe, I just discovered a vein, and this time the purity is quite high, I'm afraid it's the best quality in five years. Several engineers have gone exploring, and we're going to make a small fortune again. The overseers said with a smile.

"yes, that's great, celebrate with a drink in the evening. The overseers high-fived each other.

"By the way, did you find the star diamond that the boss said?" asked another overseer.

"It's not that easy, it's just a year to find one. I guess that one is lucky......"

"I don't know why the boss wants a star drill...... It's just pretty, it's useless. ”

"Whatever, since the boss wants it, let's find it. If you find it, you will be rewarded. ”

The overseers chatted, and Gao Yuan's heart moved, Star Diamond? Could it be the Celestial Crystal Ore!

Celestial crystals have been produced here!

Gao Yuan thought about it, and finally remained silent, ready to continue to play the role he was currently playing. On the one hand, it is an opportunity to infiltrate the enlighteners, and on the other hand, to inquire about the situation of the Celestial Crystal ore.

"Kara-la-......" The sound of rusty chains churning into the eardrums was uncomfortable.

The miners looked at the rusty elevator in front of them, and then looked at the unfathomable black mine entrance below, and they all showed inexplicable fear.

With an indescribable fear of the dark and the unknown, miners had to work deep underground, where there was no light, deadly gases and the danger of collapse, like strapping their heads around their belts.

A few days ago, these people in front of them were full of dreams, thinking that their part-time job was to knock stones on the barren mountains and mountains, but now they saw that the mouth of the mine was like a monster's mouth open, and their legs were weak, and they didn't dare to go down.

"Hurry up, don't grind, or I'll kick you down one by one. The overseer cursed.

The miners still cowered, and no one dared to step on the old elevator, lest they would fall rapidly and become a puddle of flesh and mud underground.

In the end, Gao Yuan stepped forward, was the first to walk into the elevator, and beckoned to the others: "It's very stable, come in." ”

With Gao Yuan as an example, the other miners walked in tremblingly, and after being crowded, an overseer stepped in, pulled the lever of the elevator, and in a "click" sound, everyone slowly descended into the dark underground world.

The further it falls, the thinner the oxygen becomes, even Gao Yuan feels a little tightness in his chest, and the air underground contains some kind of toxin, although Gao Yuan's three people are strong, they can already use a little oxygen to breathe inside, but there is also a feeling that they are about to suffocate.

Not to mention the other miners, who not only felt suffocation, but also buzzed in their ears, which was naturally due to the different air pressure underground.

The overseer promptly put the pipe with the hat on his head into his mouth, and then said angrily, "Hold the pipe first, so as not to suffocate underneath." ”

The miners scrambled to hold the tube, and the meager oxygen passed through the tube finally relieved the pressure of breathing, but the murmur in the ears was still unavoidable.

"Are we going to die?" Gao Yuan heard someone muttering muttered behind his back.

The poor miners looked at the darkness that was getting deeper and deeper, and their hearts were uneasy.

The elevator descended slowly, and after some time, it finally landed on the dark ground, and there were a few very dim lights nearby, but if you relied on those things to illuminate it, it would have crashed into the hard cave wall.

The miners turned on the lights on their hats, although it was also very dim, after all, they could see a meter or two in front of them.

"You come with me. The overseer counted the number of people and said, "Don't wander around, there are very fierce beasts underground, and if they are eaten, there will be no bones left." ”

Everyone was silent, having experienced the tragic death of their former companions, what little courage they had left had been sealed, and unless they endured unbearable torture, they would probably spend their lives in fear and patience.

Walking along the dim and narrow road, I turned several corners, and finally saw a piece of light.

In an underground cavern carved out, there were several lights hung, and a large number of tools and boxes were placed all over the ground, and there was a foul smell of feces and urine.

Seven or eight miners were busy "tinkling", and no one would look back when they heard the footsteps behind them.

"Here it is. The overseer stopped and waved, "In the future, you will follow these old fellows, don't try to be lazy." ”

The miners stood in the cave, staring at the black stone in a daze, until an old miner turned around and hooked his finger at them and said, "What are you doing, come and work." If you don't finish these bastard stones today, no one will want to go back to the ground. Also, spit out the tube in your mouth and suck some poison gas and you won't die!"

The miners obediently spit out the pipes in their mouths, and according to the old miner's arrangement, one by one they took pickaxes to knock stones. The knocked iron pieces are inspected, packed into iron boxes, and ready to be sent back to the ground for casting.
