Wei Dianyuan walked along the pitch-black corridor towards the outside.
Soon, a greenish light appeared before him.
It was a malachite embedded in the wall, a cold light source, and one of the few luminous minerals that did not interact with shadow energy.
After turning a corner, he could see a group of people standing under the brilliance of the malachite.
They stood quietly yet orderly, like a group of zombies, but without a trace of death about them.
Upon seeing these people, Wei Dianyuan restrained his actions, joining the line like a puppet.
They—including Wei Dianyuan himself—were all miners.
To be precise, they were miners who were about to go above ground for a shift change.
There indeed existed a powerful but always hidden will that controlled almost everyone.
But not everyone was directly controlled by it.
For example, among those currently surrounding Wei Dianyuan, a large portion was controlled by Octopus Bro.
