As the Cavalry Guards kicked into high gear, working overtime on mining and production tasks, Charlie Wade led Song Ruyu, under the guidance of Yin Xiaoyang, deep into the underground mine. Here, thousands of deceased soldiers and their families were trapped. <fnd544> Get full chapters from find?novel</fnd544>


    This underground facility has a total of three openings. Originally, two of these were designated for extracting and transporting phosphate ore to the surface, while the third served the essential function of ventting the entire mine.


    Currently, however, the venttion shafts have beenpletely sealed off with iron fences as thick as an arm, ensuring that while air can circte, no one can escape.


    Additionally, the two exits meant for the transportation of phosphate ore are securely barred by heavy iron doors. The Cavalry Guards from the Third Battalion have stationed personnel here, and they maintain strict control over the elevator system. Once the gates are locked and the elevator is shut down, escape bes impossible for those trapped below.


    Interestingly, despite their roles—Death Soldiers as prisoners and Cavalry Guards as their captors—their fates are not as different as one might think. The Death Soldiersck the freedom to exit the mine at will, and the Cavalry Guards can only roam a few kilometers outside their designated area. Bound by the limits of Duke Mining, neither party can freely leave this confinement.


    This reality discourages the Death Soldiers from attempting to escape, as such efforts would be futile. Once the antidote they rely on expires, their lives are forfeit.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As the three approached the entrance, Yin Xiaoyang addressed the Cavalry Guards on duty: “Please open the elevator; we need to go down.”


    The guards swiftlyplied, showing no reluctance. They opened the door and activated the elevator’s power.


    With the lights illuminating the elevator, Yin Xiaoyang invited Charlie Wade and Song Ruyu, “Mr. Wade, Miss Song, please step inside!”


    Charlie Wade nodded and entered the elevator first, followed by Song Ruyu. Yin Xiaoyang enteredst, pressing a button on the signal device. The Cavalry Guards, having received the signal, promptly initiated the elevator’s descent into the depths of the mine.


    As the elevator plummeted, Yin Xiaoyang turned to Charlie Wade and inquired, “Mr. Wade, should I gather all the Death Soldiers and their families down there?”


    Charlie Wade replied, “Please start by gathering the leaders of the Death Soldiers. I need to exin the situation to them first. Once they’re informed, they can ry the message to everyone else. This approach will be more convincing. I won’t have time to detoxify everyone today, so I’ll start with the leaders. Once they trust me, they can organize the evacuation, and after they’re in a safe location, I’ll administer the antidote to the others.”


    After a moment, Charlie Wade asked, “When was thest time everyone took the medicine?”


    Yin Xiaoyang promptly responded, “Mr. Wade, everyone took the antidote just the day before yesterday, so we still have plenty of time.”


    Charlie Wade nodded, satisfied, and remarked, “That’s good; we have enough time.”


    After approximately a minute of descent, the elevator reached the bottom of the mine. A man approached immediately upon their arrival. Recognizing Yin Xiaoyang, he said respectfully, “Commander Yin, what brings you down here in person?”


    Yin Xiaoyang replied, “I have important matters to discuss. Please gather yourmander along with all the thousand households and g chiefs in the front hall.”


    The soldier immediately responded, “Commander Yin, please make your way to the front hall. I will inform themander right away!”


    Passing through the mine’s tunnel, the three made their way to the front hall of the dead soldiers’ station. This area, once a working face in the phosphate mining sector, had been transformed after the Poqinghui took over, repurposed as an essential route into the station. The work face had been reinforced and supported for this purpose.


    Now, it serves as a venue for meetings among the Death Soldiers and a location where the Cavalry Guards assign tasks.


    The front hall was brightly lit, designed to resemble an ancient government office. A spacious area in the center featured a t open space with three imperial chairs positioned in front.
