The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

The other stern-faced young man beside him couldn't stand it any longer and whispered, "Zhuo Fang, you're still a man after all. How can you give up after just a short while?"

"You're being too obvious. What farmer can't lift a hoe? You'll be exposed."

Zhuo Fang put down his hoe, leaning on it to catch his breath. "I make money with my brain, not my physical strength. I'm not cut out for manual labor. Why did you insist on dragging me into being a miner?"

"I'm telling you, if I just reveal my identity and work as an engineer, I can get inside directly. The information I can get is much more important than what I can get by mining here until I die."

Qi Chuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't you want freedom and would rather go to jail than work for them? You are saying that again now."

"You revealed your identity, so you might have infiltrated the inner circle directly. But what about me? What should I do?"

"Also, how can I trust that you'll still work for us after you rejoin them? What if you turn around and sell us all out?"

Zhuo Fang was furious. "Qi Chuan, isn't what you said too hurtful? Putting aside the fact that I'm not on the same page as the people in that organization, just the two of us have been through life and death together, and you still don't believe me?"

Qi Chuan was speechless. He looked towards a heavily guarded mine not far away and pointed with his chin, "Let's think of a way. Let's dig over there and take a look."

"This mine was unguarded yesterday, but why are there suddenly so many guards watching it today? There must be some secret inside."

Zhuo Fang nodded and stopped arguing with him for the time being.

The two dug slowly, moving towards the mine as they dug.

Their actions were soon noticed, and the guard in front of the mine shouted, "What are you two doing?"

"Who told you to change your location without permission? Go back to your own mining area."

Qi Chuan lowered his head, pretending to be scared, "Sir, we've taken the wrong path, the wrong path..."

Zhuo Fang smiled flatteringly and said, "My Lords, the rock where we're digging is too hard and we can't find anything. Could you please help us dig somewhere else? I beg you."

The guard didn't buy their talk and refused directly and coldly: "Go back to your place. If you want to change the mining area, go to your manager. We don't manage the mining area."

As he spoke, he picked up the spear in his hand and pointed, "Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, I won't be polite."

Zhuo Fang smiled awkwardly and pulled Qi Chuan back. As he walked, he glanced at the spear in the guard's hand.

Qi Chuan asked him in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

"Leave first and then talk."

Just as the two were talking, before they had taken a few steps, suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from deep in the mine behind them.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion seemed to tear the earth apart. In an instant, the entire mine shook violently and then began to collapse rapidly.

The raised dust was like a huge gray wave, rolling over and covering the sky.

Amidst the cloud of dust, a figure darted out at astonishing speed. Several guards tightly protected it as it sprinted towards higher ground.

However, many miners near the mine were not so lucky.

Many people didn't even have time to figure out what the rumbling sound that shook the sky came from, before they saw huge boulders pouring down from the highest point of the mine.

These falling rocks hit the ground as densely as raindrops. Many miners had no time to dodge and were hit by the heavy rocks in an instant, dying on the spot.

Some people were unfortunately buried by the sudden collapse of the mining area. They could not escape the disaster and could only watch as more and more rocks fell, their lives in danger.

For a moment, the entire mining area fell into chaos and panic, and shrill wails resounded everywhere.

The managers finally woke up from their dreams and rushed to evacuate the panicked miners.

They shouted loudly, directing everyone to evacuate quickly along the road farthest from the collapsing mine, away from the mine where rocks were falling like rain and there were dangers everywhere.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed. The entire mine was enveloped by this sudden explosion. At this thrilling moment, the people closest to the mine were Zhuo Fang and Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan was very familiar with this kind of explosion sound. He grabbed Zhuo Fang without hesitation and shouted, "Follow me!"

Before he finished speaking, the two of them ran away like rabbits.

At this moment, they no longer cared about whether their identities would be exposed. They had only one thought in their minds - to escape from this dangerous place.

Qi Chuan knew that time was running out and his life was at stake, so he hurriedly displayed his unique martial arts skills.

His figure was erratic, like a ghost, moving freely through the mine where rocks could fall from the sky at any moment. Sometimes he would dodge sideways, sometimes he would leap high, skillfully avoiding the falling boulders.

Zhuo Fang followed Qi Chuan closely. Although he was filled with fear, he felt a little relieved when he saw Qi Chuan's skillful skills.

The two of them ran all the way, not daring to stop for even a moment. Their clothes were soaked with sweat and their breathing became rapid.

However, just when they finally managed to leave the mine and thought they were out of danger, suddenly, a loud shout came from not far away: "Those two people know martial arts, there must be something wrong with them, catch them!"

This shout was like a bolt from the blue, making Zhuo Fang and Qi Chuan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, nervous again.

"No, run away!"

Qi Chuan's face changed drastically. He pulled Zhuo Fang and quickened his pace again, running desperately forward.

Zhuo Fang didn't know any martial arts, so Qi Chuan had to run with him the whole time. He couldn't help but look back while Qi Chuan was running, and saw a young man patting his chest to comfort himself amidst the heavy guards, "You've survived a disaster, you've survived a disaster..."

After hearing the guard's shout, the young man turned around and looked at him and Qi Chuan. Then, the young man ran towards them, "I'll help chase them too!"

The two men carefully shuttled through the intricate roads of Tongshan Iron Mine, trying to avoid the highly vigilant guards and successfully escape from this place.

However, the reality is far more difficult than they imagined.

After half a day of running, the two were out of breath, but to their dismay, they found themselves still trapped near the open-air mine.

Despite trying my best, it seemed I couldn't escape this area no matter how hard I tried.

Zhuo Fang is very familiar with this type of mine. After all, the structure and mining methods currently used by Tongshan Iron Mine even include the design part in which he personally participated.
