According to the information I got before, minerals are usually found at the borders of the map. I just happened to be at the border of the map, so I can go and take a look today.

After having breakfast and preparing food for the little fox, Xiao Qi planned to set off. As soon as she went out, the little fox jumped out and rubbed against her feet, obviously wanting to go out and take a look too.

Thinking that the little fox seems to have not gone out for several days, it is time to take it out for a walk today.

It was inconvenient before because of the zombies, but now it’s just a little colder, so it’s just right.

"It's not clear what dangers there are outside. Don't run around randomly when you go out. If anything happens, I won't be able to save you."

"What are you afraid of? With my current strength, how many people can beat me?"

After the advancement, the little fox looked particularly proud, as if nothing in the world was stronger than it. Xiao Qi shook his head and had to give up and took it down the mountain.

Xiao Qi drove the electric car directly to the place closest to the border, intending to look for special scenes around the border. Along the way, he could see a lot of vehicle fragments and fallen trees, and of course the most numerous were the wildly growing weeds. This kind of scenic spot must have been taken care of by someone every day, but after the doomsday, obviously no one cared about it, which led to the crazy growth of these weeds.

The little fox, which hadn't been out to play for a while, seemed very excited. It ran far away as soon as it came out, rolled in the grass, and then called out to an abandoned vehicle whose contents could not be seen. It looked particularly happy.

It's actually quite nice to just look at the scenery at the city border, Xiao Qi thought so, and walked several kilometers unknowingly. Unfortunately, he didn't see any special buildings.

Occasionally there are some places like gas stations, which have long been looted. If it weren’t for the signs, you wouldn’t be able to tell where they are.

Xiao Qi gradually left the natural scenic area and came to a more remote place. The map did not show any buildings here, but it should not affect the existence of the mine.

Although the little fox was having fun everywhere, it never left Xiao Qi's sight for too long. Until just now, the little fox had not come back for several minutes, and Xiao Qi suddenly became a little worried.

Could it be that the little fox was in danger? But why didn't he ask for help when he was in danger?

"Master, come here and take a look. There are good things."

The little fox's somewhat empty voice suddenly interrupted Xiao Qi's thoughts. The voice seemed to be far away, but could this kind of mental communication also be affected by distance? Or maybe it was in a relatively small space.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Qi rushed over according to the coordinates provided by the little fox and soon arrived at a hillside.

In front of him, a somewhat narrow passage was extending into the bottomless underground. The voice of the little fox was continuously coming from inside, telling Xiao Qi that this was the mysterious place it had discovered. The passage had no end in sight, but fortunately the road did not look too steep, and there were many traces of excavation. It was obvious that this was a mine.

Xiao Qi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the little fox would find the mine he had been looking for.

The little fox jumped out of the mine, its body covered in dust. It immediately began to lick its fur with some disgust, and Xiao Qi tried to stop it.

"Stop licking it. We'll have to go in again soon. If you lick it clean now, it will get dirty again later."

The little fox seemed a little dissatisfied, but it didn't mean to leave Xiao Qi outside alone. It just shook its body to shake off the dust on its fur, and then went back into the hole again.

"Follow me. Some places here are not safe. I have already explored them and know where to go."

The little fox proudly asked Xiao Qi for credit, and Xiao Qi touched its head in appreciation and offered conditions.

"Then I'll give you a snack when we get back. Just tell me what kind of meat you want to eat. I'll satisfy you with whatever meat we can find."

"You said it, don't worry, I will definitely not let you get into any danger."

Xiao Qi took out a flashlight and began to go deeper into the mine. This place had been abandoned for a long time, and both the roads and rails were in disrepair. Some of the mine carts parked on the rails were rusty and had some unknown powder left inside.

As we went deeper and deeper, the mine became much more complete. It seemed that the entrance had experienced a collapse, which caused that part to be extremely narrow, making it difficult for even one person to enter or exit.

The position at the back was enough for Xiao Qi to stand up straight and move around freely. The flashlight was of upgraded quality. It was not only extremely bright but also had a long range. However, even so, when the flashlight was pointed at the endless darkness, the light could not come back.

Walking in such a small and depressing place would naturally make one feel inexplicably uneasy. Dark, narrow, and the most dangerous words combined together, Xiao Qi, who did not have the keen senses of the little fox, was naturally a little nervous. If it were not for the little fox leading the way, she would have probably taken up her weapon.

After walking for a while, there was enough space around to accommodate seven or eight people working together, so the little fox stopped.

Many of the carts around were full, and Xiao Qi excitedly went forward to check, and wished that they were copper, iron or better metal. However, it was pitch black inside, which was nothing like what Xiao Qi had imagined.

"What mineral is this?"

Xiao Qi, who had been expecting metal, was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, isn’t this coal?

Against the coming extreme cold, coal is obviously the most useful resource. Except for myself who possesses the Yin-Yang Flower, others cannot withstand the too low temperature even if the shelter is at level five, and they will definitely have to burn coal for heating.

Xiao Qi was not yet to the point of despising resources, so he immediately began to collect the ubiquitous coal.

After collecting the coal in the cart, she made a few golden pickaxes and started mining coal. Every time she mined the coal, she could hear the pleasant sound of coal being mined, which made her very motivated and she worked faster and faster.

"Obtained coal*1, upgraded successfully, obtained coal*10."

"Obtained coal*1, upgraded successfully, obtained coal*10."

"Obtained coal*1, upgraded successfully, obtained coal*10."

......

After working for an unknown period of time, Xiao Qi had only just finished mining this area. This was a very deep and large mine, and the amount of minerals stored in it was absolutely terrifying. It was probably unrealistic to collect them all, and he couldn't do it himself.

The little fox fell asleep directly on the small cart beside him. The only sound in the huge space was Xiao Qi's heavy breathing. At this moment, she felt sorry for the coal miners more than anyone else. Working in such an environment was simply a waste of their lives.
