Back under the mine, Gu Beifeng temporarily stayed at the bottom of the mine to rest, while Yang Xiao and others went to dig in the tunnel ahead.
After digging for a while, everyone discovered that mining is really strenuous work.
Except for Yang Xiao, the others are all king-level evolvers. However, everyone will feel tired if they can't continue mining for 15 minutes.
Another uncomfortable thing is that the tunnel must be widened as a whole according to the previous five to six meters wide and about three to four meters high. The excavated gravel must be transported to a place two to three hundred meters away and then lifted and lowered. The opportunity reaches the outside of the mine that is 100 meters high, and is then transported by people outside to a place 100 meters away for accumulation.
Everyone took turns to go into battle, and after several hours, they had only advanced a distance of about 1 meter.
Ma Jiu was alone transporting slag outside the mine, Yang Xiao and Zhao Beng were digging, and Chi Lin and Du Tianxing transported the ore on the ground to the elevator underground.
Everyone takes turns.
The veins of the Ziyuan Crystal Ore will change direction at any time, and the amount of crystal ore that appears will sometimes be more and sometimes less.
Sometimes you can dig out a piece as big as your fist, and sometimes it's only as big as your little finger.
After digging out the Ziyuan crystal mine, everyone played with it in their hands. The density was at least ten times heavier than the purple rock, and it was extremely heavy.
Yang Xiao held the crystal ore in his hand and felt it was cold. Apart from being heavy and cold, there was nothing special about it.
"What exactly does this thing do?"
Yang Xiao suddenly had an increasingly clear feeling in his heart.
The earth was occupied by Long Wei and other aliens overnight, wiping out more than 90% of the human population, leaving only young people and training them into genetic evolvers.
Now, the first batch of king-level genetic evolvers were brought to this strange planet to work as miners.
Could it be that the aliens spent so much time and money cultivating human genetic evolvers on Earth just to use us as miners to mine?
This idea came to Yang Xiao when he entered the mine. When he discovered that the purple rock here was hard and could only be mined using powerful genetic evolution energy, he became more convinced.
"We are trained as genetic evolvers just to mine."
Yang Xiao clearly expressed his thoughts.
Zhao Benling, Du Tianxing and Chi Lin on the side were all stunned after hearing this.
Yang Xiao briefly stated his thoughts. Du Tianxing and others listened in silence, and finally nodded.
"Let's work normally first and don't have any thoughts for the time being. For example, let's survive. We will slowly figure out what's going on and then think about what to do."
Everyone nodded.
After another 2 hours, Luo Meng went down to the mine to check the work of Yang Xiao and others.
"How many purple source crystals were dug?"
Yang Xiao pointed at the dozens of crystal stones stacked in the corner of the mine and said:
"It's all there."
Luo Meng glanced at it, and with a big move, all the purple source crystals immediately floated into the air and flew in front of him.
"Well, that's good. It's a good result on the first day."
Luo Meng smiled for the first time. It seemed that the Purple Source Crystal Stone was very important in his mind. It was much more important than the seven people who died when the monster attacked him at the beginning.
Luo Meng put the crystal into the space ring and said to Yang Xiao and others:
"Someone will bring you food later. The Iron Tower Warriors and I will evacuate temporarily. After we leave, you will all go to the pits to rest for the night. One thing I want to emphasize is that this place is in the mountains, and there are many Beasts, if you run out without authorization, there is absolutely no way to survive. Don’t blame me for not fulfilling my warning.”
Yang Xiao was startled and asked:
"Captain Luo, what do you mean, you won't take us back to the camp at night, but let us spend the night here?"
"Yes, the aircraft cannot seat so many people. I have to go to other nearby mines to carry people. From now on, you will all live in the mines. Let me explain again, after we leave, you can only hide in the mines."
Everyone felt a little scared when they heard this.
Yang Xiao couldn't help but said:
"What to do with the bodies of the two monsters outside?"
"Ah, you mean those two two-headed giant crocodiles? Don't worry about them. Wild beasts will come and eat them at night. Even the bones won't be left."
"Then, can we eat the meat of those monsters?"
"Um?"
Luo Meng was stunned and looked at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao quickly explained:
"The flesh and blood of those monsters should be able to provide part of the energy for genetic evolution, right? This way we can work better, right?"
Luo Meng laughed after hearing this and said:
"I forgot about this. It's up to you. However, I warn you to pay attention to your safety. As soon as we leave, monsters will come and snatch the body of the two-headed giant crocodile."
After Luo Meng finished speaking, he took out a half-meter-long blue crystal stick from the space ring, waved it around Yang Xiao and others a few times, then put away the blue crystal-like stick and explained:
"This stick can detect the Purple Source Crystal. If you hide the Purple Source Crystal on your body, it can be detected. So, I hope you don't do anything stupid, otherwise, I will kill you mercilessly. "
Luo Meng said the last sentence lightly, as if he didn't take murder seriously at all.
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"This thing is of no use to us, so why would we hide it?"
"Haha, what do you know, this thing,"
Luo Meng suddenly stopped talking, glanced at Yang Xiao, and said with a smile:
"Yes, this thing is indeed useless to you, so just work with peace of mind."
Luo Meng left, Yang Xiao and others looked at each other.
Du Tianxing had just suggested that everyone hide a piece of Purple Source Crystal, but fortunately Yang Xiao stopped it in time.
The other party can rest assured that they can mine underground without the means of monitoring and inspection.
However, when everyone thought about having to spend the night in this mine, and living in the mine from now on, they felt indescribably sad.
This is simply the life of a slave.
Half an hour later, Ma Jiu came down from above, carrying a large square box in his hands.
"Captain Luo said that this is our dinner today and asked me to take it down. He also told me not to go up any more and just rest down below for the night. Yang Xiao, what's going on?"
Ma Jiu is obviously not very clear about the various reasons.
Yang Xiao did not explain, but just asked:
"Have Captain Luo and others left?"
"They haven't left yet, but the spaceship to pick them up has arrived. This box of food was sent by the people on the spaceship. The brothers in the other mines also received food."
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"Everyone, let's eat."
Yang Xiao has now become the leader of everyone invisibly. Not only Zhao Benling, Chi Lin, and Ma Jiu admire him, but now even Du Tianxing also recognizes Yang Xiao.
Gu Beifeng, who was injured and resting, was originally going to be buried alive, but it was Yang Xiao who saved his life. Therefore, even Gu Beifeng now recognized Yang Xiao.
At least, in the current environment, everyone no longer has to compete for territory and resources. Even survival is difficult. Everyone knows that only by working together can we survive.
There were ten pastries and some meat in the big box. In addition, there was a large bottle of water.
This is basically enough food for six people.
Yang Xiao ate half of the meal, drank some water, and took the elevator up alone.
"Yang Xiao, where are you going?"
Zhao Benling shouted.
"Don't panic, I'm going up to see if Captain Luo is gone, and take a pee while I'm at it."
(There will be another update in the evening)
