Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 308 Underground City Construction 18

She shuddered when she thought of the gray-haired old man, traveling thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, out of breath, as if he would be out of breath and about to die the next moment.

Ordinary people should not even think about it. They will definitely get lost halfway. Could Commander Han have forgotten her previous advice?

Just when she was about to refuse, she looked up and saw Yanlan's serious expression, which seemed to be determined to call someone for her, and her heart skipped a beat.

"It's ice and snow, and the journey is long. If we encounter a cold wave, we will definitely die. Does Commander Han want me to bear the lives of innocent people?"

Han Yiyi choked and wanted to ask someone to escort him, but recalling what the girl had said before, he was not convinced.

It is indeed thousands of miles apart. Even in peacetime, we may not be able to reach it in ten days and half a month. What's more, the snow is getting thicker now. Even if the weather does not worsen, we still can't reach it in less than a month.

It was impossible to send someone, and she didn't want to pay back the favor she owed in her lifetime.

After a second thought, I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, "If possible, does Mr. Yan have a way to buy slaves? Or he can recruit some people nearby to do long-term labor."

Although she couldn't stand the evil practices of buying and selling people and trampling on slaves in ancient times, these were extraordinary times, and if he could be bought by her, there might be a way to survive.

On the contrary, there will be absolutely no room for them to survive in the future world.

Furthermore, her secret cannot be exposed. She needs to keep her mouth shut and not betray anyone. As long as she holds the slave's deed of sale in her hand, she has the power of life and death. Although she will not really do anything, the necessary deterrence cannot be eliminated.

As for ordinary people, they can be responsible for some simple tasks and will only be exposed to what she lets them see.

Zhou Yanlan did not answer immediately. He thought for a while before speaking briefly and concisely.

"Dayizhou is feasible."

Dayizhou. I seem to have heard of such a place name, but what does it have to do with what she asked?

Are you going to Dayizhou to buy slaves?

She looked at Han Yi uncertainly.

"The closest place to Yuanyang City is Dayizhou, where the folk customs are fierce and fighting and looting are the norm. Whether it is people or things, you can exchange them for things in the exchange market. Among them, the slave market is the most prosperous.

Human trafficking is even more rampant.

It’s a gathering place for adult traffickers from Qiqi Si, maybe we can pick some people from there.”

Oh~!

Wouldn't it be clear to her with this explanation?

"May I?"

Zhou Yanlan nodded and looked at Han Yi.

As soon as Han received the order, he had to do it immediately.

Cheng Xiaoxiao shouted, "Wait a minute."

She generously took out a stack of silver notes and said, "These are the silver notes for buying slaves. Commander Han, check to see if they are enough."

Han Yi was surprised. He didn't expect that Miss Cheng, who had fled all the way, had so many possessions, including dozens of 100-tael silver notes, and she still carried them with her. She was really a wealthy man.

But if she gave him the banknote, how would she support him in the future?

"Miss Cheng, please keep it!"

"How can that be done? It's a trivial matter like buying a slave. I feel sorry for bothering Commander Han to go there in person. If I ask you to contribute more effort and money, then who am I? Am I just a cheap roly-poly? Then I can

No shame in accepting it.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry, thought for a while and then said: "I would also like to trouble Commander Han to bring one of my people."

He said hello to Qi Fei who came to work, "Let him stay with you and gain experience."

Han Yi looked at Zhou Yanlan.

After getting a positive answer, I responded.

Cheng Xiaoxiao directly handed the banknote to Qi Fei, "This is a dangerous place, so be careful. The money should be more than enough. If you see anything useful to us, we can buy it back too."

"Well, good!"

Just as Qi Fei turned around to go back and pack his luggage, Cheng Xiaoxiao grabbed his arm again, and immediately there was something in his hand.

"Bring this with you. Commander Fahan knows it. Try to keep a low profile when you go out and learn more from Commander Han. In addition, safety is the most important thing. Come back as soon as possible regardless of success or failure."

She would be lying if she said she wasn't worried. Qi Fei was tactful and clever, but after all, it was a barbaric city with strong and unreasonable folk customs. If she hadn't been unable to leave now, she would have gone there in person.

There is a time bomb hanging above your head. I don't know when it will fall. Can you not worry about it?

"Don't worry, I know it well." When did the boss become such a mother-in-law?

Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Cheng Xiaoxiao prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that their trip would go smoothly.

"Let's go!"

He took Zhou Yanlan to a separate tent that had been set up. The little sisters had sorted it out, and except that it was a little small, it had all the necessary items.

The days that followed were full and busy, and Cheng Xiaoxiao had many things to deal with every day.

Either in the brick building where the kiln is fired, or in the cement-making workshop, I study stones.

Or he could direct the excavation work from below the construction site.

From time to time, meetings need to be held to discuss various aspects of the process.

The mountainous area they chose is a flat area above the mountain peaks. After digging down to about ten meters, they will drill holes deep into the top of the mountain, so this area is the gateway to the underground city.

In the past few days, tents were set up, workshops were built, earth was rammed to build stoves, and the daily needs of the team members were ensured. Now that everything was sorted out, these people were freed up to join the excavation and excavation project.

There is no such thing as men farming and women weaving here in Cheng Xiaoxiao. As long as you have the ability, you can take any position, regardless of gender.

Work points are calculated based on workload, and everyone has a work point business card to record income and consumption.

There will be a free working meal at noon every day, morning and evening meals, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, kitchen utensils, cloth and needlework, or ready-made clothes and shoes, all of which need to be exchanged for work points, which also greatly improves everyone's enthusiasm for work.

However, there are also young ladies waiting at home for men to feed them, or women who use the excuse to take care of their children, led by Mingshan's wife Yang Ying.

Now Yang Fan and Mingshan are both pioneer team leaders of the engineering team, and their work points are more than ordinary workers, which can barely support their families.

In fact, the assessment for members who want to join the 132 team must be based on individual performance. Except for children under five years old and elderly people over sixty years old who do not have to work, everyone else is treated equally. However, Yang Ying encouraged a few better sisters to ignore them.

This regulation was also criticized for spreading rumors and privately slandering the 132nd Regiment for various injustices.

Cheng Xiaoxiao has already known about this matter, but he has not yet taken action to deal with this group of brainless women who cannot distinguish between forms.

Now that the manpower has increased, it is natural to speed up the project.

Eight holes were dug at the same time. After entering the mountain, Cheng Xiaoxiao took out the ordnance shovel and kept it in the hands of the production department and patrol team. They started working day and night alternately and were responsible for the cutting-edge excavation work, which greatly accelerated the progress of the project.

After the team members used the ordnance shovel, they were surprised again and again. The hard rock was like yellow mud. As long as the shovel was pushed down, a large piece of it could be shoveled down. It was a perfect tool for cutting mountains and stones.

Regarding the construction of dungeons, E~ is really not good at writing. If there are any discrepancies, please bear with me, little cuties.
