Chapter 1759
With that, Lech and his teammates retrieved their shovels—along with any relevant equipment—before starting to dig the earth beneath them.
“You guys keep an eye on things while we dig! Let’s get our well-deserved rest once we make it to the other side!” said Lech.
Knowing that it wasn’t easy to dig out a passageway and that it would be some time before Lech and his men were done, Gerald naturally had no objections.
After nodding in agreement, he then returned to his own party to start keeping watch.
Seeing that Gerald had returned, Ray then asked in a slightly worried tone, “…Do you trust these people, Mr. Crawford…?”
Understanding where Ray was coming from, Gerald then replied, “Don’t worry, I can sense that he’s a righteous man!”
Upon hearing that, Ray’s worries quickly subsided. After all, he trusted Gerald’s judgment.
“What about you, Old Flint? What do you think about Lech and his men?” asked Gerald as he turned to look at the old man who was sitting close to them. Throughout their journey, Old Flint had remained strangely quiet…
Regardless, the old man simply replied, “We’ll have more help with an additional team. There’s safety in numbers!”
Hearing that, Gerald then nodded in agreement…
After two hours, a loud sound could be heard coming from where Lech and the others had been digging. Guessing that Lech and his men had managed to dig out a passageway, Gerald and his party quickly ran toward the sound.
