Chapter 098 David's Confusion
Since you can live, who would want to die?
Fuleke and the others couldn't solve Yan Gangshi, and could not think of any way to highlight the predicament, so the outcome of surrender was predictable. Of course, if the leader of this group of people was the middle-aged strong man, he might be considering fighting to the death and then catch old Bill and force him to find out the method.
It’s just a pity that he was unlucky and exposed his strong position early. Tang En’s original goal was Fulake, but later he changed his choice and took action to control him. When the two sides reached an agreement, whether for the safety of Tang En and his people or for the safety of Fulake and others, the middle-aged strong man would undoubtedly die.
Although the security problem was temporarily solved, the matter has not ended so simply. Tang En's side only has about twenty people to fight, so it is naturally difficult to manage these more than seventy soldiers. It is not impossible to kill these people, but that would seem a pity. No one knows what to face next. It is better for multiple people to work hard to dig a tunnel.
Finally, Frey removed the plate armor and removed the thick lines, chains, etc. on it for binding. Since these soldiers surrendered, they naturally would not refuse such treatment. After they were done, everyone walked out one after another.
The senior executives of Fuleke and other mines were not tied up. They were nervously looking at Tang En and the others. When they saw the injuries here and the seriously injured people carried out, they were all full of annoyance. However, seeing that Tang En and the others had no intention of killing, they were all relieved.
"We decided to dig a hole from here to another mine..." Tang En told Fulake and others about his previous plans.
When Fulake heard this, he felt depressed again. Why didn’t he think of this method before? But soon he changed his mind because without Old Bill’s words, even if they thought of this method, they didn’t know where to start.
"You ordered the sealing of the mine. I want to know what the situation is." After saying the way to escape, Tang En asked a key question.
"Well, we sent soldiers to bury the place with sand and build an iron gate."
"Yeah." Tangen and Fry looked at each other and nodded. It seemed that the goal now was to dig the iron gate. No matter how the terrain changed, as long as they found the iron gate, it would be not far from the ground.
"Can you ask a question?" Fleck asked carefully.
"sure."
"Actually, there is no need for you to tell us the method... Even if you want to know the situation there, you can ask directly."
Tang En looked at Fulake with a smile: "Tell you that you are so relieved and give up, and don't have any thoughts that make everyone unhappy. Of course, there is another reason..." Speaking of this, Tang En handed them a half-knife: "Hold it. There is no master here. I want to go out as soon as possible, so I can only do it myself."
"Ah..." Fulake was stunned, "We want to dig too?"
"Of course!" Tang En glanced at them angrily, "We only dig tunnels that normal people can pass through, just your tonnage, tsk tsk..."
"Uh..." Fulake and others looked at their fat body because of their pampered and elegant body, and they were immediately in tears.
Old Bill had confirmed the location he was digging at this time. Tang En and his friends loosened half of the soldiers and then handed them half of the sword.
The sword is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, with a blade in front and a heavy knife body behind. After half of it is cut off, the sharpness is reduced and it does not affect excavation.
With these coolie soldiers, Tang En and the others naturally don’t have to do it themselves. This is not just for ease. No one knows how many days they have to stay here, and there is definitely no food. In this case, the less active the energy it consumes. Even if... even if these soldiers starve to death in the end, they will have the power to dig forward again!
The mine that was once dug through was under the mountains. Although there were stone walls here, the most was still soil. So now it was digging faster and not too difficult. If it was in the middle of the mountain, then Tang En and the others would have to wait to die.
"Brother Frey, how about it? Is there no problem?" Tang En walked to the entrance of the tunnel.
Frey organized a group of people who were not injured or had minor injuries to serve as supervisors. Although these soldiers surrendered now, it is difficult to guarantee that they would not cause any trouble for various reasons in the future.
"Haha, there's no problem." Fry laughed and pointed at the people with some excitement and said, "It just feels a bit strange. We used to be miners, and they monitored us. We didn't want to take turns to do it. Today we are monitoring them, haha..."
"Haha, yes!" Tang En also chuckled and continued, "But there is something that needs to be paid a little attention to by brothers. Well, we have been miners before and have been beaten and scolded a lot. Originally, it is understandable to take revenge on the other hand. But now the situation is a bit special. If you beat and scold too much, it may cause some situations..."
This is a question that has to be considered. No matter which world it is, once a person holds power, even the smallest power, it may pass on the suffering he had suffered before. Now Tang En and the others are in adversity and need the help of these soldiers. If they force the other party to resist or fail to work for these reasons, it will be a bit of a loss.
After hearing Tang En's words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and finally nodded solemnly: "Brother Arthur is right, I will remind everyone later."
"Haha, it's not that serious either. Brother Frey, just mention it casually. At most, it will only take a few days, and everyone won't become like that."
"Haha, OK!"
After saying these things, Tang En waved his hand with Frey with a smile, then looked around, trying to find a place to start resting. His injuries were a little aggravated by the recent fierce battles.
Hum? Tang En suddenly frowned and walked towards the place where the wounded rested. In that direction, David was wrapped in thick gray cloth on his arms, looking blank. This was inconsistent with his usual carefree personality.
"David, David..."
"Uh? Old, boss. What's wrong?" David came to his senses and looked up at Tang En standing in front of him, looking a little panicked.
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it's okay, I want to ask how your injury is?"
"This, no problem..." Bang bang, David patted his chest and said proudly, "I was just bitten by a bug. I'm in good health."
What you hurt your arm, why are you doing with your chest? Tang En shook his head, turned around and sat beside him and said, "It's fine if there's nothing to do. Then hurry up and take a break and go to monitor the tied soldiers later."
"Okay!" David nodded, then grabbed his hair and said, "Boss, I have something... well, I don't understand it very well."
"Oh? Let's hear it!" To be honest, Tang En was really curious. Nothing could make David, who has always been a big nerve, feel a little embarrassed.
"Uh, there's nothing to say... Well, when we were fighting in front of the mine gate, we killed and killed those miners... It's not that I dared not kill people, but I also killed many of them before. But I don't know why killing those people made me feel a little uncomfortable, well, it's not that uncomfortable, it's just like a little bump... It's a bit different from what the leader of Luosha said, but when I asked Mishe, he didn't feel much like this. Boss, is it wrong for me to do this?"
"This..." Tang En opened his mouth, his face a little complicated. Of course he knew David's feeling. He could kill the enemy decisively, but he could not even take action against the enemy and us. In fact, David is much more promising than him. When he first came to another world, he felt a little disgusted when he heard that the system was going to kill that priest...
"Well, this is not wrong... Everyone has their own position. In the circumstances at that time, they were right and you were not bad. But everyone has only one life. We are not gods, so it doesn't matter if we die, so we can't accommodate each other. Well, you can say sorry to their bodies afterwards!"
"Oh..." David nodded and said thoughtfully: "I understand, just like the boss, you said before that there is only one life for a person, so we all have to be selfish, right?"
"Uh, that's about that." Tang En touched his nose.
"I understand!" David stood up and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Since they are all selfish, I feel much better. Well, then I'll go and monitor the soldiers over there first."
"Okay, go!" Tang En nodded with a smile.
