Luo Meng returned to the base and reported his investigation to David.
"Master Station Master, I asked the murlocs. There is indeed a cave connecting the mine tunnel and the pool. Yang Xiao and the others really dug a hole in the ground to escape."
David nodded,
"Well, it's a miracle that Yang Xiao survived. In the future, you should pay more attention to other miners in the mine to avoid any more accidents."
For David, if Yang Xiao and the others make any small moves, he doesn't take it seriously. After all, Yang Xiao and others are too weak. In front of the emperor-level powerhouse, they can't make any waves and turn a blind eye. It passed in just one glance.
"okay, I get it."
Luo Meng replied.
Luo Meng was unwilling to tell David the news that Yang Xiao and others had escaped from the mine a few days in advance, which was also due to his considerations.
As the captain of the mine, he has been dealing with miners at the lowest level all year round, so he can naturally understand the hardships of miners.
It can be said that every miner has the idea of escape, and even plans and actions. This is human nature.
According to Luo Meng's estimation, the escape tunnel for Yang Xiao and others should have been dug long ago, and they were ready to escape when the conditions were ripe. However, this time they happened to encounter a savage attack and had to use it in advance.
Luo Meng felt very funny in his heart. No matter where you dug the tunnel, it would be in the mountains, and there would be high-level monsters everywhere. Where could you escape?
Once Yang Xiao and others enter the jungle, it will be difficult to survive.
"It's impossible to escape in this life."
Although Luo Meng didn't care about the little actions of Yang Xiao and others, he couldn't tell David about this matter, otherwise it might affect the current stable relationship between David and Yang Xiao.
Luo Meng's biggest wish is to return to the base and play a game of Go with Yang Xiao after get off work every day to improve his mental strength.
For Luo Meng, after evolving to the emperor level, he has reached the ceiling of his genetic evolution, and the only thing that can be improved is his mental power.
For all evolvers, mental strength is a shortcoming, and it is also the easiest to improve if suitable conditions can be found.
Luo Meng has found the right conditions now, so he is not willing to break the current balance with any trivial matter.
Three days passed quickly, and Du Tianxing, Gu Beifeng and others returned to the mine to continue mining.
The three temporary identity card quotas that David applied for were chosen by Du Tianxing, Chi Lin and Feng Ming by drawing lots.
Yang Xiao rested for two days, and on the third day he went to play chess with David and Luo Meng.
David wrote a report on the life-and-death duel between Yang Xiao and Li Kan. He described it as saying that during the duel between the two, Li Kan was seriously injured and died. Yang Xiao expressed regret and sadness, etc., hoping to help Yang Xiao pass the duel. Application for temporary identity card.
The mining disaster and the life-and-death duel with Li Kan gradually calmed down. The savage Abao stopped harassing the mine for the time being. David focused on the Go competition in a month's time, playing against Yang Xiao every day and constantly improving himself. chess skills and mental strength.
Luo Meng also got the opportunity to play chess with Yang Xiao twice a day, and his mental strength and Go level improved a lot.
When Luo Meng was playing Go, he deliberately pushed away Leah, closed the door, and said to Yang Xiao:
"Stationmaster Dai sent me to check the entrance of the waterhole. I told him that you did dig the hole and escaped that day, not in advance."
The last five words were "not in advance", Luo Meng deliberately bit it hard.
Yang Xiao's heart sank.
Luo Meng chuckled and continued:
"Everything is over. You don't have to think about anything. Just go on with your life as usual. No one will know."
No matter how stupid Yang Xiao is, he can still understand the meaning of Luo Meng's words.
"Thank you Captain Luo for making it happen."
"Well, it's human nature and there's nothing to be thankful for. If I were a miner, I would do the same thing. But don't do this again. It's useless."
Yang Xiao nodded.
From then on, Yang Xiao paid special attention to Luo Meng's chess skills, and Luo Meng's chess skills improved a lot. He occasionally went to the entertainment hall of the base and would kill anyone he caught who didn't like him.
As Luo Meng's former subordinate Yuli, now after seeing Luo Meng, he lowers his head and avoids it, not daring to provoke Luo Meng again.
Many people want to learn Go from Yang Xiao through Luo Meng's introduction.
"Don't fight Master Yang's ideas. His time is precious. The webmaster will go to the competition soon. He will compete with Master Yang all day long. Even I don't dare to disturb Master Yang now.
After Stationmaster Dai participates in the Go competition, I may be able to help you arrange one or two Go games with Master Yang. I dare not say more. "
Everyone wanted something from Luo Meng, so naturally they flattered him especially.
For the first time in so many years at the base, Luo Meng felt everyone's warm respect for him, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
More than twenty days later, when it was time to watch the Go game, David took Yang Xiao and four cloaked men on a spaceship to Karachi, the largest colonial city on the planet Ziyuan.
For Wu Xing, Ziyuan Star is a large mine dedicated to producing Ziyuan crystals.
According to what David said, there are currently more than 2,000 bases of various sizes distributed on Ziyuan Star.
Because of the convenience of spaceships, there are no roads here, so everyone travels by spaceship.
Yang Xiao and others flew for about two hours and arrived at a large valley.
The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a plain on one side. There is a river passing through the valley, dividing the huge valley into two halves.
David's spacecraft landed at a special spacecraft docking plaza in the valley.
After Yang Xiao followed David off the spacecraft, he looked up at the sky and found that the entire valley was shrouded in an orange light curtain.
There were people coming and going on the street and it was very lively.
David introduced:
"In order to prevent monster attacks, the entire valley is shrouded in an orange protective light curtain, which can prevent attacks by emperor-level genetic evolvers.
The defensive light curtain implements indiscriminate killing. All monsters or people who break into the defensive light curtain will be killed. Only by entering the valley through the ground passage can they enter safely.
Of course, there are also special guards on the ground. People who come in must obtain permission. Each base has a permission card.
In addition, in addition to the gene shop, there are also various shops for daily life, such as taverns, restaurants, hotels, mercenaries, specialized blacksmith shops, mining machine and tool shops, etc. "
"What are mercenaries and blacksmiths for?"
Yang Xiao asked. Other shops are easy to understand, but he doesn't quite understand these two types of shops.
"Every base will face attacks from savages. Some bases are strong and can resist savage attacks on their own. Some bases are relatively weak and will ask mercenaries to help them clear out the savages nearby or kill some of the savages."
"Have we ever hired mercenaries at our base?"
"Of course, every base will hire mercenaries before opening up wasteland. Only after the entire base is established and complete security measures are in place, mercenaries will not be needed."
"Then why don't you invite mercenaries to kill Abao and other savages?"
"The cost of hiring mercenaries is very high, so I won't hire them as a last resort."
"How high?"
"A mercenary's daily reward is 10 kilograms of crystal."
"Ah, it is indeed expensive."
"However, this time I plan to invite a team of mercenaries to go over and eliminate Abao."
David said with hatred, full of hatred for Abao and the escaped miners who had united against him.
