From the surface, Li Du asked, ”Marcos, do you see the tube?”

Marcos, who was crying from being shaken, said anxiously, ”See it.” Cough cough. ”I see it. Help me mate, help me get out!”

When faced with death, no one would be able to accept it calmly, especially after seeing hope.

Li Du responded, ”Calm down, you are not in any danger. Now, we will send you milk through this tube. Drink some warm milk and remain conscious. Don't overthink. We will get you soon.”

”Could you hurry up? Mate, who are you? Could you quickly get me out?” Marcos asked immediately after.

Due to being separated by a thick layer of rock, it was strenuous for them to speak to each other. As their voices were greatly dispersed, it was not possible to figure out the identity of the person talking.

Li Du shouted, ”Wait for a while, Aubrey is also in there. As he has yet to make a sound, we are worried that he has passed out, so we need to save him first.”

After a brief moment of silence, Marcos's muffled voice could be heard. ”Alright alright, save Aubrey first. He should be to the east of me. Do you need me to help with anything?”

Hearing his words, it was inevitable that Li Du would look up to him. To be able to still love and be loyal to his miners while facing such adversity, Marcos was a great person.

After Li Du said a few more comforting words to Marcos, he brought Ali over and ordered it to bite on a tube, burrow back into the tunnel, and look for Aubrey, who was unconscious.

Aubrey was in much worse condition. He was unconscious. Furthermore, as Li Du did not know the reason why he was unconscious or the exact condition that he was in, he could only try his best.

A miner asked anxiously, ”Since you have confirmed his location, why didn't you quickly act and dig him out?”

Li Du explained calmly, ”Don't be hasty. Aubrey is clearly unconscious, or else he would not keep quiet. What are we going to do if we act rashly and cause a second collapse?”

In a dejected manner, someone said, ”He isn't making any sound. Could it be that he is not unconscious but…”

Even though he did not say his speculation out loud, everyone knew what it was.

Li Du looked at him with a stern gaze and said, ”Don't talk nonsense. That rascal Aubrey is unconscious. Quickly, get the ventilator over here and connect the tube to it!”

Since Aubrey was unconscious, sending him milk was obviously useless. They had to give him oxygen instead.

Ali brought the tube over. After one end of the tube was connected to a large gap, the ventilator began blowing into it with a woo woo sound, sending air underground via the tube.

At this moment, Li Du commanded the others to start excavating the tunnel.

While investigating the situation underground through the little bug, Li Du directed the others on how to dig and how to avoid the areas that could lead to a second collapse.

Although the progress was relatively slow in this way, everything that was done was safe and efficient.

Fortunately, Aubrey woke up midway through the process.

It was likely that he had been hit on the head by a rock and knocked out. After having rested and having received fresh oxygen through the tube, he gradually began to wake up.

When he woke up, he first spoke a few nonsensical sentences before realizing the situation he was in and exclaiming from underground, ”Oh d*mn it, oh mother f*ck. No no no, I don't want to die down here!
