The water above the cave is getting faster and faster, making a gurgling sound.
Yang Xiao and more than a dozen people were lying in the cave, with the cold water still flowing through their bodies.
The vibration just now did not cause any major problems in the cave. Only the weak rock layer at the water flow cracked a relatively large crack, which increased the flow of water.
After a while, everyone felt that there seemed to be no movement.
"Yang Xiao, what should we do now?"
"The fire down there is definitely not burning anymore, and there is no smoke now."
"I wonder if those savages are gone?"
Someone suddenly shouted:
"It's past 4 o'clock in the morning."
Everyone was shocked and asked:
"How do you know so accurately?"
The man laughed in the darkness and said:
"I brought a watch with me. After I came to this continent, I adjusted the time several times based on the time difference here. It should be about the same. It is estimated that it will be bright in about two hours."
"If it is really after 4 o'clock, the savages probably won't be able to hold on much longer. They are still afraid that David and others will come over and attack them."
In addition to hundreds of masters in black cloaks, David's base also has more than 200 iron tower guards. Such a powerful force is naturally not something Abao's tribe can confront head-on.
Abao's only advantage is that he can use the cover of mountains and forests to run away with just one shot, which is a bit like guerrilla warfare.
Yang Xiao thought for a while,
"For safety's sake, let's wait. Around five o'clock, we slipped down to the cave to have a look. Anyway, the current is not very big. The mine is three to four hundred meters long.
Who is good at math? How much water can a tunnel four meters wide and over two meters high, with a length of 300 meters, hold? Based on the current water flow, how long will it take to fill it? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Tianxing laughed and said:
"Yang Xiao, is your math really that bad? Don't forget it. According to the current flow rate, it won't be able to be filled up for days and nights."
Everyone laughed.
In other words, you don't have to worry about the water pouring up and suffocating everyone here.
Everyone speculated on various possibilities, and finally decided to wait for a while. After dawn, A Bao and others would naturally leave. They would be able to walk out of the mine themselves without waiting for Luo Meng and others to rush to the mine to work.
"Yang Xiao, I have a question. How to explain this escape cave to Luo Meng and others? You can't say that we dug a mine tunnel for escape before, right?"
Yang Xiao thought for a while and asked:
"Have Luo Meng and others gone down the mine tunnel in the past two months?"
"Several other mines have been inspected, but this mine seems not to have been inspected. We can't embezzle their crystals anyway, and they don't bother to care about us."
On Ziyuan Planet, there is no market where crystals can be traded. All crystals are collected by various bases and handed over to the upper-level managers in charge of the planet. The managers above will then pay crystal coins according to the number of crystals. .
In addition, the crystals cannot be used directly, so the seemingly priceless crystals are actually worthless in the hands of ordinary people.
Moreover, no one can leave this planet without the large spacecraft of the Witch Star. After everyone boardes the large spacecraft and leaves, they must undergo strict crystal scanning and inspection. No one can carry crystals privately.
In this way, the underground trading market of crystals in Ziyuan Star is completely blocked. No one can embezzle crystals privately, especially miners.
The miners are trapped in the mine all day long. There is no point in embezzling the crystals, and they cannot take them with them when they leave the mine.
"Well, let me tell you a lie. We all share the same story. We were chased by savages and accidentally opened a natural mine. We didn't expect that this natural mine was connected to a water pool outside. Is this okay to explain it?"
Chi Lin shook his head and said:
"You are Luo Meng, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Yang Xiao laughed.
After a while, Gu Beifeng said:
"Why don't we wait until we fully open the water outlet and submerge the mine. Luo Meng and others probably won't dive in to check what's going on. Let's just say we dug here during mining."
Everyone laughed, saying that this lie was a bit reliable.
Now that there was no danger for the time being, everyone started bragging and chatting again.
Chi Lin revealed what happened between Yang Xiao and Leah at the base, and everyone cheered:
"Yang Xiao, I didn't expect you to live a happy life at the base. No wonder you don't come to mine, but you know the suffering of our brothers."
"I heard that when you were on Earth, you had several beauties around you."
"When we go out, are you going to treat us to a wedding banquet?"
Yang Xiao smiled and said,
"When you were on Earth, which one of you wasn't surrounded by beautiful women?"
Everyone laughed.
Everyone talked about their future plans again.
"Yang Xiao, are we going to be mining here all our lives?"
As soon as this topic was brought up, the atmosphere immediately became a lot duller.
Yang Xiao said:
"No, everyone believes me. As long as I have my way, I will never forget my brothers. David is already applying for temporary ID cards for me, and has promised me to apply for temporary ID cards for you all in batches, but the time limit Not so fast,
What David means is that after three or four years, we can get a formal ID card, become an official citizen of Wu Star, and get rid of the identity of a slave miner. This is Wu Star's immigration policy.
At that time, we can leave the mine, work for the base, and obtain free status. "
After everyone heard this, they gained a little confidence in the future.
Ma Jiu sighed,
"But it will take another three or four years!"
"Although it will take three or four years, think about it, our life spans now are completely different from those before the end of the earth. King-level evolvers can live to be more than a hundred years old. If you enter the emperor-level, you can Three or four years is not too long to extend life by a few more decades.”
When Yang Xiao said this, everyone remembered that such a thing happened and suddenly became excited.
"MD, we are finally going to become monsters."
"Can I still live a long life?"
"If you are over a hundred years old, can you marry more wives in your lifetime?"
"What kind of wife do you want to marry? It depends on your potential. You can play with many more women."
"Well, the key depends on whether you still have the sex and ability by then. Don't have premature ejaculation. It would be worse than death. The longer you live, the more you will suffer."
"Damn it, a grown man only knows women? Haven't you ever thought about accomplishing something great, saving the earth, and dominating the starry sky?"
Everyone was stunned again.
Every time someone talks about the pain points in everyone's heart, everyone falls silent.
Someone said quietly:
"Are you overthinking it? With our little cultivation, we can't even defeat a squad leader from the other side. Luo Meng can kill a dozen of us by himself. How can we save the earth? Dominate the starry sky?"
