Chapter: 6598

Yin Xiaoyang immediately replied: "Everyone took the antidote just yesterday, so there's still a relatively long time left."

Li Chen nodded: "Okay, that's sufficient time."

An elevator took around a minute to ride, and after arriving at the bottom of the mine shaft, a man suddenly came up, saw it was Yin Xiaoyang, and immediately said with reverence: "Commander Yin, how did you personally come down?"

Yin Xiaoyang opened his mouth and said: "I have some important matters to discuss with you, Commander. Please summon your commander-in-chief and all the thousand households and flagmen to the front hall for a meeting."

The dead soldier immediately said: "Commander, please step into the front hall later. I'll go notify the commander-in-chief now!"

Passing through the mine shaft's corridor, the three of them soon arrived at the dead soldier's station in the front hall. Originally, this was a work area for phosphoric acid mining, but after the Clearance Association took over, they renovated it to become an indispensable path leading into the inner premises and carried out reinforcement and strengthening.

Now, this place has become the location for the dead soldiers' meeting and where the cavalry officer assigns tasks to them.

The front hall is currently well-lit, with a vast open space designed like ancient government offices. In the middle is a flat vacant area, with three majestic chairs placed at the front.

At this time, two dead soldiers are on duty, saw Yin Xiaoyang arrive, and immediately approached him, saying with reverence: "We've seen Commander Yin!"

Yin Xiaoyang nodded slightly and said to them: "I've summoned your commander-in-chief and various leaders for a meeting. You can step back first."

The two of them immediately chimed in unison: "Yes, sir!"

After speaking, they immediately turned around and retreated.

Yè Chén saw that these few names respected Yin Xiaoyang deeply, and their eyes were full of reverence rather than fear, so he curiously asked him: "You have a good relationship with these dead soldiers?"

Yin Xiaoyang introduced to Yè Chén: "As for Mr. Leaf, we these cavalries are indeed very close to the dead soldiers, even though we are entrusted to watch over them here, but I also emphasize repeatedly to all my cavalry brothers that no one can oppress, bully, or mistreat the dead soldiers and their families, since we are all connected by fate, and it is reasonable for us to care for each other. These dead soldiers can understand our situation, and we do our best to provide them with some help and convenience, so everyone gets along well."

Yè Chén nodded slightly, sighing: "The outside world has formed a hierarchical structure where the strong prey on the weak, and oppression is passed down layer by layer. Many people have been wronged by those above and vent their frustrations on those below. You are able to be aware of the connection between the dead soldiers and the cavalries here, and help each other, which is already not easy."

On the side, Song Ruyi heard Yè Chén's words and couldn't help but feel some heat rising to her face.

She realized that she herself was one of those people mentioned by Yè Chén - a person who had been oppressed and wronged. The Song family had been under the control of the Broken Clear Association for many years, being pressured and oppressed. But after coming to Duke Mining, she didn't show any sympathy or compassion towards the cavalries here, instead being harsher towards them and even engaging in brutal behavior without guilt. Now that she thought about it, she felt extremely ashamed.

Soon, the sound of a neat row of people running by came from the hallway behind.

A middle-aged man with a mustache led 20-some people to run past quickly.

These people were mostly Asians, but there were also a few people of other ethnicities. These others had been forced to become dead soldiers many years ago by the Broken Clear Association, and their descendants had also become dead soldiers, receiving uniform Han education.

The group of people ran up to the three in front of them, with the leader looking at Yè Chén in surprise before shouting loudly: "I pay my respects to Commander-in-Chief Sir and Senior Officer Sir!"

Yè Chén looked at Song Ruyi and asked her: "Have you come down?"

Song Ruyi nodded slightly and said honestly: "I came down yesterday to distribute medication for them, Sir."

She then explained: "Originally, this should be a special envoy's task, but I came this time to oversee the blood transfusion, so I didn't let the special envoy come."

Yè Chén lightly nodded his head at this moment. Next to him, Yin Xiaoyang looked at Yè Chén and asked: "Sir, do you think it would be a good idea to introduce these subordinates to everyone?" JrNovels.com
