Chapter: 5128

"Li Nianzong listened to Ye Chen's words and respectfully said: 'Leave it to me, sir, I understand!'"

"The others also loudly exclaimed: 'I understand!'"

"Ye Chen slightly nodded and told Li Nianzong: 'First arrange for someone to take them away and keep a close eye on them. Take me to see the underground copper mine below, and let's go meet these brave warriors!'"

This copper mine is located about five hundred meters deep underground."

"Ye Chen instructed Li Nianzong and the controlled Cavalrymen to lead the crowd on an elevator-like device to the residence of the brave warriors."

As we went down, Li Nianzong introduced the specific situation of this copper mine to Ye Chen.

After decades of continuous development, the internal structure of the copper mine had become extremely complex.

It was composed of three parts: the first being the normal mining area, including tunnels and open-pit mines; the second, the living quarters for the brave warriors and their families; and the third, the storage area for all supplies and equipment.

From the entrance to the bottom, we were actually only reaching the working face of the copper mine.

After that, we could see that this was a very standard mid-sized copper mine, with all the facilities and equipment needed for production, showing no signs of anything unusual.

Ye Chen followed Li Nianzong out of the elevator, looking at the deep mine shaft with curiosity, asking, "Where do the brave warriors and their families normally live?"

Li Nianzong hastened to explain, "Sir, this flat area at an altitude of over 500 meters is all part of the copper mine's working face. The living quarters for the brave warriors require a secret passage from ahead, and then they have to take another elevator down another 100 meters."

Ye Chen nodded, asking, "Why isn't anyone working here now?"

Li Nianzong hurriedly replied, "Because today is medication time, so the brave warriors need to move out in advance according to requirements to their living quarters at an altitude of over 600 meters, where they will wait for the medicine to be delivered and take it together."

As he spoke, Li Nianzong added, "Normally, only those who work in the copper mine as brave warriors or their family members have the right to come up here. Everyone else stays below, except when someone is selected for a mission and has the opportunity to come out."

Ye Chen asked, "How do you usually manage these brave warriors who work in the mines?"

Li Nianzong replied, "The miners are divided into three teams, with approximately one hundred people per team. The management method is similar to that of a US prison system, where each team has a designated captain responsible for managing their own team. After confirming the numbers at the bottom, the captain will bring up the next team to take over, and then confirm the numbers again at the top before sending the previous team back down."

Ye Chen asked him, "Do brave warriors who work in the mines and their family members receive any additional compensation?"

"No," Li Nianzong shook his head. "According to our organization's requirements, we only select those with insufficient abilities to participate in labor, without providing any additional compensation."

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

At this point, Li Nianzong had brought Ye Chen and others into a room labeled as the electrical distribution room.

As they entered the room, the first thing that caught their eyes was the neatly arranged electrical equipment. However, after Li Nianzong operated a control panel on the wall for a few moments, the entire wall suddenly began to slowly open inward.

From the side of the doorframe, Ye Chen could see that this "wall" was actually a fake one, about almost a meter thick, with extremely thick steel plates reinforced on both sides. Even if it were ordinary heavy artillery or martial artists, they would not be able to blast through this wall.

Behind this wall, there was actually a large machinery room, which was the equipment and operating room for a large-scale elevator. Below that was a massive drop container.

Li Nianzong led everyone up the container, using his iris to activate it. Subsequently, this container carried everyone down further into the depths at an altitude of over 600 meters. JrNovels.com
