The man watched the mechanical bee cautiously, his eyes full of suspicion. "Why should I trust you?"
"Just because... you have no other choice," Sharon said calmly.
His straightforward response, instead of being harsh, actually eased the man's demeanor.
"I'm just someone trapped here, and I can't help you with anything," the man self-deprecatingly chuckled. "No matter what you're planning, I can't assist you."
"No need. As long as you can communicate with the other laborers," Sharon confidently stated. He quickly explained a plan to the man.
From initially dismissing the idea to eventually having a sparkle in his eyes, the man straightened up rapidly. He looked at the mechanical bee and asked, "Are you sure you can rescue us in time?" There were quite a few supervisors in this gold mine, and it might be challenging to deal with all of them at once.
"No problem, as long as you can successfully execute the plan," Sharon promised.
The man remained silent, his eyes lowered for a long while. He didn't know who was behind the mechanical bee or how they had such incredible capabilities. However, the one thing he knew was that this might be his last chance to escape.
After much contemplation, the man finally made a decision. "Alright, I'm willing to cooperate with you. But I can't guarantee how many people I can persuade."
"That's okay, just do your best," Sharon understood that in such circumstances, many would prioritize self-preservation, and at least this way, they might secure a way out.
The man nodded, and just as Sharon was about to manipulate the mechanical bee to leave, he suddenly stopped it. "My name is Nico," he said, "If... I mean, if the plan fails, please find my family and tell them I love them."
Nico's words left Sharon, Charlotte, and the others in silence. After a moment, Sharon told Nico, "I won't convey any messages for you. Whatever you have to say, you should tell them yourself." Nico gave a bitter smile and released the mechanical bee.
In fact, Sharon's plan was quite simple. He intended for all the laborers in the gold mine to pretend they had contracted a deadly contagious disease and collectively lie in bed.
Once the supervisors believed them, they would quietly steal the supervisors' weapons. Then, when Sharon and the others engaged in a direct confrontation with the supervisors, the laborers would create diversions and hinder the supervisors.
If they executed their plan skillfully, they might achieve success at the lowest cost.
Although Nico had agreed to cooperate with them, Sharon, just to be sure, had a mechanical bee follow Nico closely that afternoon to confirm he was indeed secretly contacting his fellow workers. Fortunately, Nico didn't disappoint their expectations. He discreetly made contact with almost every laborer, and they could see that many had nodded in agreement with Nico's plan.
For these laborers, being trapped in this mine, endlessly digging for gold, was the darkest period of their lives. Now, they had a chance to escape, and if they didn't cherish it, they might be stuck like this for the rest of their lives.
The contempt shown by the supervisors heightened their sense of urgency.
After the mechanical bee followed Nico around for a whole day, in the late hours of the night, Nico sneaked out of the cave, looking anxiously into the darkness.
As he expected, not long after he came out, the mechanical bee wobbled and flew over.
Suppressing his excitement, Nico whispered, "Two-thirds of the people have agreed to my plan."
The remaining few were mostly individuals with health issues and were not necessarily unwilling to escape.
