Chapter 129 Miner Lao He
Dadalia did not find the way to the rugged stone hall, but found a passage leading to another place, but it seemed deep. However, Dadalia was not afraid. After turning on the headlamp on her head, she rushed straight in.
After passing through the dark tunnel, Dadalia came to an open area. With the help of the headlamp, she could see an abandoned camp not far away. However, according to the traces on the ground, it seemed that someone had been here not long ago and lived there for a while.
Dadalia judged that there might be living people nearby. Before knowing whether they were enemies or friends, Dadalia took out her Winter White Star from the Eye of God and became extremely alert.
Dadalia explored the area nearby and did not find any other people for the time being, but she made a new discovery. When Dadalia came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, she saw a fallen tree. The tree was very thick and seemed to be hollowed out. It seemed that it could still accommodate people?
After preparing herself mentally, Dadalia opened the Wings of Wind and flew into the place through the hole at the top of the tree. The inside of the tree was indeed hollow, and Dadalia's guess was correct.
However, Dadalia discovered that there were actually several humans here. They were all lying on the ground, looking a little weak. She couldn't tell from their clothes what kind of force they were, but she saw the notebook on the table.
When I opened it, I found that the notes were all written by these people, some about the changes in the underground mining area of the Layered Rock Abyss, but the time was not marked in the notes. It was probably because these people did not carry clocks to record time, but the notes mentioned a piece of information about their identities.
The true identities of these people are the miners who survived the strata abyss incident, and their leader is a man called Lao He. However, at the end of the notes, it is written that they are short of food and have difficulty in supplying. Fortunately, there is still water, but it is difficult to sustain.
So after confirming that they were not a threat, Dadalia put away the Winter White Star in her hand and woke them up. The miners thought it was the co-worker calling them and got up weakly, only to find that it was an orange-haired foreigner greeting them. They were startled, but then they were excited.
"Hello, I'm Lao He. Excuse me, beautiful lady, are you here to rescue us?" Lao He looked at Dadalia. He didn't know Dadalia, but his hope of survival was rekindled.
There was a big problem in the underground mines of the Layered Abyss before. The sudden appearance of black mud, the strange army that came out of it, and the appearance of other monsters caused many miners to panic, resulting in casualties and disappearances. Lao He missed the best opportunity to leave here because of his poor hearing.
However, Lao He has a lot of experience, so when he was working in the main mine tunnel of Juyuan, he accidentally found this place. Moreover, there was no black mud here before or now, but there were only worm beasts.
However, these beasts are not as aggressive towards humans as the monsters outside, so Lao He regards this place as a safe zone and comes here to sit and rest from time to time.
Of course, on the way here, they rescued several surviving miners along the way, so the workers huddled together, found some supplies, and planned to survive here for a while.
However, as supplies became scarce, they were forced to risk their lives to run outside to find supplies. They happened to meet people from the 9th Company. However, due to the "reputation" of the Fatui, the miners ran away without waiting for the 9th Company to question them.
As for what happened afterwards, the supplies they found along the way were very limited. Even if they only had one meal a day with water, it was difficult for them to survive for a long time. In addition, the way back was extremely dangerous, and the bridge was blown up by Liyue. So they could not return and just lived for as many days as they could.
Some people couldn't hold on any longer and passed out. Fortunately, Dadalia arrived here in time. She took out some food from her Eye of God and filled the stomachs of the miners in front of her.
Lao He wanted to thank her, but he saw the symbol of the Fatui on Dadalia, which scared him a little and he broke out in a cold sweat. After all, the Fatui were well-known, and he had asked many of his fellow workers in the mine about what the Fatui were doing in other countries.
But he thought that the Fatui Tartaglia in front of him was different from what he had heard. She had no ill will towards them and even provided them with food. So he didn't say much and expressed his gratitude. However, Lao He didn't know that the true identity of the Fatui Tartaglia was actually the executive of the Fatui.
After the food was replenished, the miners regained their strength, so they asked Lao He to ask Dadalia if there were any changes in the underground mining area of the Layered Rock Abyss and whether they could get out alive.
So Lao He came to Dadalia tremblingly and asked, "My benefactor, do you know if we can go back to the ground now?" Lao He was a little uneasy, but as the leader, he still asked Dadalia.
Dadalia still spoke very proudly of the battle she and Tianhe had fought in the main mine tunnel of the Juyuan not long ago. "Well, how should I put it? According to my understanding, the monsters and black mud in the main mine tunnel of the Juyuan have been cleared by Tianhe and I, and not long ago Tianhe reconnected the bridge between the temporary main mine tunnel and the main mine tunnel of the Juyuan."
"What? Benefactor, are you kidding? Does that mean we can go home?" Lao He widened his eyes and said in disbelief. If it was true as Dadalia said, all the monsters and black mud outside had been cleared by them, did it mean that they didn't have to hide anymore and could go home.
Although Lao He still didn't trust the Fatui, he could tell from what Dadalia said that she didn't lie to them, nor did she need to. But he was very curious about who the Tianhe that Dadalia mentioned was, so he asked Dadalia.
"Benefactor, who is Tianhe you mentioned? We have lost all contact with the outside world." After listening to them, Dadalia explained to them Tianhe's current identity and deeds in Liyue. They then realized that this Tianhe was actually Liyue's current Rock King!
So, under the leadership of Dadalia, the surviving miners, led by Lao He, climbed out of the tree and returned to the main mine tunnel of the Juyuan. They found that there were indeed no monsters here, so they thanked Dadalia and left in the direction of the temporary main mine tunnel.
After watching them leave, Dadalia returned directly the same way she came. She wanted to see what discoveries there were on the other side of Tianhe. After all, she had already explored almost all of this side, but she still couldn't find a way forward in the rugged stone hall.
After Ye Lan and Zhi Qiong had a good rest, they went to look for Tian He and Jiu Qi Shinobu to see if they had any new discoveries. Tian He also rushed over here.
