Everyone was initially unclear, only acting out of fear of Qinghe's authority, doing whatever she asked of them. But now, as Qinghe directed them to dig at this particular spot, they began to see the situation for what it was. No one present was a fool—with the exception of a few students, they were all experienced individuals. They immediately grasped the crux of the matter. No longer needing Qinghe to urge them on, each person was full of enthusiasm, rolling up their sleeves and getting busy straight away.
It was a matter concerning their very own lives—they naturally couldn't delay. Finally seeing a glimmer of hope for rebirth, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and joy. They no longer remembered the offense they had given Qinghe. All they knew was that there might still be a slight chance for survival, and perhaps the way out was just below them. They were of course eager to give their all.
