Chapter 73 Buying Tolls
Chapter 73: Buying a Travel Fee
Until this moment, Fang Can didn't know whether he was lucky or unfortunate. When he fought until the end of the battle, he lost all his consciousness. It was obvious that he was not discovered by the refugees, but was taken down by En Yaren's patrol team. Because they were in extreme demand for labor, they escaped the disaster and did not die, but were thrown into the Qingtian Mine under serious injury and coma.
According to Zhang Yunguo, he discovered himself on the platform of the trading point. Because he was both an ancient Chinese, and Zhang Yunguo was a rare Chinese medicine practitioner, out of the considerations of his compatriots and medical ethics, Zhang Yunguo put his cave behind him.
"I was in a coma for seventy-six days..."
Fang Can smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been discovered by the refugees, if Zhang Yunguo happened to be a Chinese medicine doctor who could use materials to treat injuries without requiring instruments and medicines, whether he could save his life now is a question mark."
"Now that I know the truth about the refugee riot, the federal army must know this news as soon as possible. At present, the first thing I have to do is to escape from this mine... Fortunately, I am not the kind of person who loses my internal energy and loses all my strength. With my strong body, I am definitely more powerful than most people here."
Just as Fang Can was thinking, Zhang Yunguo's figure appeared again at the entrance of the cave. The amiable old man walked in happily holding a small bucket of slightly turbid water and more than ten pieces of hard bread.
"Xiao Can, come and eat."
Fang Can did not reject Zhang Yunguo's kindness. In order to maintain his health as much as possible, it is necessary to eat and drink well.
"Your health has not yet been well maintained, so you should rest these days. I still have some reserve mines, enough for us to eat water for three or five days."
After eating, Fang Can felt refreshed. With his physique, the injury on his body is nothing. Hearing what Zhang Yunguo said, Fang Can smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I didn't wake up before, and I can't repay you for saving me, but now I'm awake. Believe me, I will make our lives here more comfortable."
Zhang Yunguo also knew that Fang Can had a strong physique that was very strong than ordinary people. You should know that for the past two and a half months, he has been changing the medicine to heal Fang Can every day. With his Chinese medicine perspective, how could he not see any tricks? If Fang Can's injury was replaced by others, he would have died a few times long ago.
"Xiao Can, I know what you are thinking. Don't blame Uncle Zhang for nagging. Not all the trapped people here are federal citizens, and this is definitely not a peaceful place. Don't show off. Uncle Zhang finally woke you up. If you have anything else, you will be anxious to death," he said.
"Aren't they all federal citizens?" Fang Can said in surprise: "Are there any refugees here?"
Zhang Yunguo shook his head and said, "After Modo City was captured by refugees, the prisoners in the Third Federal Prison built in Modo City were thrown into this mine by Enya people. Among the 20,000 people trapped in Qingtian Mine, at least half of the prisoners in the Third Federal Prison. You may not know that the Third Federal Prison is a place specially used to detain heavy prisoners, among which the most violent crimes are prisoners, accounting for almost 90%..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yunguo paused, with a hint of timidity in his eyebrows and said, "As early as when I was caught in the mine, I was thrown into the mine with nearly 10,000 serious prisoners. There were more than 500 prison guards from the Third Federal Prison. On the night we were thrown into the Qingtian Mine, these more than 500 prison guards were killed by the severe prisoners in less than ten minutes. Not only did they not have one left, but even their bodies..."
Seeing the fear passing by Zhang Yunguo's eyes, Fang Can said lightly: "When they were hungry and thirsty, the prisoners dismembered the bodies of the five hundred prison guards on the spot and feasted on a large scale..."
You should know that Fang Can, who has experienced more than a thousand real deaths, has never been limited to being able to do anything.
"How did you guess it?" Zhang Yunguo said in surprise: "Xiao Can, even if you say this, don't spread it randomly. The leader of our southwest mining area is the prisoner in the third prison, so..."
Fang Can nodded obediently, and then showed his habitual lazy smile and said, "Brother Zhang, where do you usually go to mine?"
"Your body is not able to mine now." Zhang Yunguo shook his head and said.
"I can." Fang Can didn't say anything more. He stood up and took a few steps forward, and fisted lightly close to the rock wall. The next moment, a half-foot-long punch appeared.
Zhang Yunguo is just a Chinese medicine doctor. He has seen Fang Can's magical powers several times, and he couldn't help but say surprise: "Just with your strength, you are definitely qualified to enter the third-layer ore vein to mine the Yuansheng Crystal Ore. Yuansheng Crystal Ore is a good thing. A piece of crystal ore can be replaced with three kilograms of high-quality bread or five liters of water!"
Seeing Zhang Yunguo's recognition, Fang Can also feel relieved. He really couldn't have any thought of disobeying him for this kind and kind old man. He would repay him with kindness. This is a deep-rooted idea that Fang Can has been deeply rooted since childhood.
He also learned about Zhang Yunguo about the situation in Qingtian Mine. Fang Can took the bandage on his body and took a piece of torn clothes that Zhang Yunguo picked up, and was ready to go out to mine.
"Xiao Can, remember, you can only enter the third-layer ore vein, don't go down again. Ten below the third-layer ore vein are alive. I have treated five people who escaped from there with my own hands, but none of them survived for two days... Also, if you encounter someone robbed your mine, you say you are the grandson of Dr. Zhang, and they shouldn't make things difficult for you."
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I'm responsible." Fang Can responded and left the cave and headed down the narrow hill road that was dug by artificially.
Along the way, almost every time he walked over tens of meters of steps, Fang Can would pass by a group of people who returned from mining. Most of them were strong men, and they all looked fierce, and they always had a bit of banditry in every move.
Of course, there are many people like Fang Can who go down the mountain to mine alone, but almost everyone walking alone is very low-key, just lowering their heads and rushing on the road. Few people like Fang Can look around while walking.
In fact, Fang Can was not deliberately trying to attract attention, but was observing the environment of this Qingtian Mine, which is a crater divided into three different areas.
There are mountains in the valley and valleys in the mountains. In addition to the southwest mining area where Fang Can is now located, there are also the northeast mining area and the southeast mining area. These three areas are separated by two crisscrossing deep valleys in the center of Qingtian Mine, forming a relatively independent existence.
When Fang Can came to the entrance of the mine vein at the bottom of the southwest mining area, he was shocked by the crowded people in front of him. In this space where there were ten-thousands of people in a circle, there were three or five thousand people in a group, lined up in a long queue, and arranged to enter the mine vein in batches.
Now Fang Can knows why Mr. Zhang forced himself to stuff a half pound of blue gold ore when he left, saying it was used as a reason for buying travel expenses.
Walking straight towards another entrance of the mine vein that was almost unqueued, Fang Can was stopped by a big man with a tall horse and a naked upper body with a green-faced and fanged beast with a butcher-like upper body.
"Boy, you have to enter the No. 2 mine vein. Do you know the rules?" The butcher roared in his hoarse voice, while putting his fingers on the ground not far away, with a semi-open iron box passage.
In fact, Fang Can was always very kind without being angry. Although he was pushed by the other party, he was not angry. He smiled and took out the blue gold mine that Zhang Bo asked him to take him and said, "If you know the rules, I'll bring you a travel fee."
After rudely picking up the blue gold mine handed over by Fang Can, the butcher weighed it and said in a rough voice: "The amount of travel fee is only enough for three hours. If the time is not available, all the ore on you will be confiscated. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I will definitely be on time." Fang Can said nothing, nodded and flashed into the dark and deep mineral veins.
As early as when he went down the mountain, Fang Can had learned from Zhang Yunguo that the Southwest Mining Area was controlled by a guy nicknamed "Mad Wolf". At the same time, this person was also the boss of the third federal prison. After being left behind by En Yaren, he naturally became the leader of the Southwest Mining Area.
This world has always been so realistic, strength is everything, even in such a deep valley. Pure artificial mining is definitely a hard and tiring job, and it also has to bear the danger of the collapse of the ore veins, so the men of the Crazy Wolf never need to work in person.
Whoever has a hard fist speaks louder? After the beginning of the brutal pressure on him for a week, Mad Wolf established his supreme position in the southwest mining area and formulated a series of rules for his personal service.
One of them is to buy travel expenses when entering the mine vein. This guy is a little smart and knows that he can't force everyone to a desperate situation. Therefore, he occupied one of the two mine veins to buy travel expenses, and the other mine vein was watched by his subordinates and sent people to the mine according to the batch.
Of course, because there are few mines and many people, if you want to queue up to enter the No. 1 mine, it will be impossible to think about the turn of not having ten hours.
