[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Chapter 46: Mines

"You were ordered to investigate our capabilities, and now your goal has been achieved." Miao Shiyi stepped forward and stood beside Tang Huai, "I believe we can't change your deep-rooted ideas in a few words, so choose now, or you will be hurt by us." Leave it here and leave it alone, or the road will go to the sky on both sides."

A member of the other party showed an expression of displeasure, and Miao Shiyi turned to him: "There is only one person here who is a soldier, so you came to hunt us down for profit, and money is more important than life?"

"Listen to you playing there—" Before the words finished, the man also fell down.

Miao Shiyi waved his hand, telling Tang Huai not to keep putting down the other party, and looked at the leading man again: "If you are willing to leave this time, you might as well go to the south to investigate the group of civilians at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, and then Think about the intentions of those who gave you orders."

Uncle Jiu cast a disdainful glance at the man, threw the wrench and snorted, "I haven't done much business, but I'm keen to get in the way. The usurpers have raised a bunch of good dogs."

Being insulted like this, the other party was all angry, staring at Uncle Jiu very unkindly, only the soldier in the lead pondered for a moment, and waved his hand: "Go over, we will investigate clearly what you said."

Uncle Jiu sneered: "We need you to let us go?"

Konoha secretly sighed that Uncle Ninth is simply a god who uses words to pull hatred, and said: "Thank you for making a choice that is beneficial to both of us today. The destruction of the research institute has made a lot of noise. What we have done before You guys can also investigate and see what went wrong. I'm looking forward to seeing new allies, or at least not enemies."

The leading man stood aside and did not answer the call. The system boarder team and Uncle Nine returned to the car. There was no confrontation between the two sides, and the car just drove away.

The leading man looked at the headlights of the cars going away, and told the thin young man next to him: "Follow from afar, the others will go to Shaoshi Mountain with me first."

He was very authoritative, and even though everyone was reluctant, he still did it.In the dark night, several giant owls moved separately.

After driving for more than an hour, everyone arrived at a gas station, which was empty and there were a few abandoned cars lying sideways.

The west and north of the country are not crowded like the southeast, where the land is generally sparsely populated.Seeing that there is no danger around, everyone set up camp here.

Shi Mingjie volunteered to keep vigil while practicing, and everyone had a good night's rest in the car.

The next day, Uncle Jiu was in charge of the action, and unceremoniously scoured the gas station for all the oil, then drove westward, and arrived at J City, the second most populous city in the province, not long after.Compared with the provincial capital, J City is located on the main traffic road from the province to the imperial capital, and is also the hub of mining and pastoral areas and residential areas, so the existing population is large, and many people came here to seek a living after the disaster.

Since it is not far from the imperial capital, City J also implements government control and circulates new metal coins.

The vehicles of Uncle Jiu and his party were not particularly prominent among the many mutated giant pets and modified vehicles. After spending the last ten yuan Tang Huai earned, everyone found a warehouse near the city, drove in and stopped to rest.

It's not without reason to stay here. Where people come and go frequently, the flow of information is fast.When Tang Ming drove away, the most likely place to go was the five major energy concentration mutation areas in the country-the mining area of ​​E City in Inner Mongolia. He would definitely be able to find out about E City here.

As usual, Shi Mingjie stayed to practice and watch the car, while the others made some modifications and moved in pairs.

"I want to go with Zhui Ming." Uncle Jiu said firmly, "There are some things that are inconvenient for you to inquire about."

The disliked CEO and the disliked policeman could only agree with a smile, but there was no way, why did Tang Huai go out first, and Uncle Jiu followed closely?

The weather is fine today, and there are no city management anymore. People are setting up stalls on the street, and only occasionally armed soldiers patrol to prevent security conflicts.

Two plainly dressed people don't attract everyone's attention.After walking for a while, Uncle Jiu touched Tang Huai with his arm: "Why did you get involved with Tiao Zi?"

Don't blame Uncle Jiu for his sharp eyes, he is a man of the same kind, and the man who blocked the way last night happened to be his partner, it's a pity that they broke up.

Tang Huai didn't even look at him: "Where do we start to investigate?"

Uncle Jiu said "Oh", and looked Tang Huai up and down, with a complicated expression on his face: "Are you really hooked up with Tiao Zi? If you want to fake it, you will definitely not answer me."

"...Go and ask," Tang Huai stood still, looking towards the dilapidated chess and card room under the house on the corner of the street, "You go."

Uncle Jiu glanced at it, then immediately shifted his attention, and said strangely, "Your eyes are really good!"

On the Dao, there is a news distribution channel on the Dao, which has not changed since ancient times. There are some clumsy and vague graffiti drawn with charcoal on the door of the chess and card room. You know, news is sold here.Especially some news that is not on the table.

The two walked into the chess and card room one after the other, and the sound of playing cards and mahjong was endless.It's true that people are looking for a life outside every day, but life must be lived. If there is no leisure life, that person's nerves will be broken.

As soon as Uncle Jiu entered the door, he walked up to the boss sitting at the counter, knocked on the wooden table that had been put together, and when the other party noticed him, he swiped his finger on the table a few times: "Do you have any cigarettes?"

The boss glanced at him, then glanced at Tang Huai who was following behind: "This stuff is rare now, do you really want to buy it? Get something to see."

Uncle Jiu asked back, "Look here?"

The boss greeted the card players: "You guys play first, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

The person who was fighting hard didn't turn his head back: "Go."

He led the two of them through the back of the chess and card room, and turned into the dark inner room of the private house on the first floor. The boss lit an oil lamp and asked straight to the point, "Where do you want to find out?"

Uncle Jiu shook his chin, and Tang Huai said, "The recent situation in E City, is there any special person?" He put a gun and the corresponding bullets aside, the metal reflected a unique luster in the firelight .

Guns and bullets are too precious at this time, the boss's eyes lit up: "It's easy to talk, you wait here, it just so happens that my wife took in a few people from City E a few days ago!"

This was just a meeting ceremony, even the meeting ceremony was so generous, Jiushu and Tang Huai were immediately gilded in the eyes of the boss.After inviting the two of them to the top floor of the building, the boss dried a few clothes on the balcony and left.

Not long after, there was a regular knock on the door, and Uncle Jiu raised his voice, "Come in."

The owner of the chess and card room led a half-grown boy in ragged clothes, and handed him a bag of food: "Just ask you something, answer truthfully, and then leave, as if you haven't been here today, do you understand the rules? "

People of this age are not so glib, they can speak clearly about what they see, and they came from the school for the employees' family members under the mining area of ​​E City, so they basically know everything about E City.

The young man rushed to the coffee table and gorged himself, rolled his eyes from choking, and answered vaguely while pouring cold water.

The boss said, "I'll be watching downstairs."

Tang Huai nodded, and when the boss left, a few pieces of barbecue flashed in his hand, but he just put them in front of him.The boy on the opposite side of the coffee table was stunned, wiped his mouth, stared at the grilled meat with green eyes, and refused to eat the dry steamed bun in his hand: "You ask first!"

Tang Huai stopped procrastinating: "How is City E doing now?"

The boy said: "I can't get in! Especially the car, the car can't be driven at all! There are monsters everywhere..."

Uncle Jiu leaned on the sofa, "What's the difference between what you're talking about and other places? It's too easy to want things like this, and it's too easy to make a living."

The young man blushed, swallowed the last thing in his mouth, thought about it carefully, and recalled it from the beginning.

Like City S on the southern coast, the outbreak of zombie virus in City E was also in early July. At the beginning, people didn't know about it, and a large number of people were bitten by zombies, which led to the rampage of zombies in the entire city E and the relatively densely populated mining areas around E city. Survivors They were like frightened birds and fled in all directions. Only a small number of people refused to leave their hometowns and survived in every corner of E City relying on their own abilities.

In the ten days until the end of July, the people in City E lived basically the same as those in other parts of the country.There are some wild animals around the mining area. In addition, there are underground rivers in the city and surface rivers in the mining area, so drinking water is not a problem.

The sudden change in City E began on a certain day in early August.

In the early hours of that day, a century-old mine in the middle of the mining area in E City suddenly collapsed in a large area, and an earthquake occurred in the entire area. People living nearby were frightened and ran away. The victims hurriedly hid in a school for the children of workers in the mining area in E City, where a large number of civilians lived.

Around early in the morning, the vibration stopped. People got up, and some daring speed users ran back to look, and found a funnel-shaped pit that was several kilometers long and bottomless at the location of the old mine!

If it was just like this, it would be fine. Facing the morning sun, countless golden bugs slowly crawled out from the pit.

At first the speed user wasn't alert, but when he found out, the belt buckle on his belt and other metal guns in his clothes melted unconsciously!The hard metal suddenly turned into a viscous liquid, dripping into the wasteland, and gradually condensed into a metal worm the size of a child's fist, crawling up his trousers!

Only then did the speed user panic, and quickly snapped off the bug and fled at full speed. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the school for his children, he felt powerless. Barely explaining the situation over there clearly, he stared at his seven orifices and bled to death.

It happened that the surviving school doctor was a gold-type superpower. He inspected the body of this speed-type superpower, and took out a group of complete and fine metal wires from his chest, which was completely consistent with the direction of the main blood vessels of the human body. He believed that If you are skilled enough to dissect the corpse completely, you can get a three-dimensional model of metal blood vessels that is comparable to the most precious model of human blood vessels in medical schools.

The school doctor turned pale with fright, and immediately reported the incident to the officer of the left-behind army guarding the school. The officer immediately ordered the people to pack up and prepare to run away. Unfortunately, they had already delayed for too long.

This young man was lucky, or he was even more unlucky. He himself is a gold-type supernatural being, but due to his lack of ability, he also harbored such a small mentality that he didn't dare to show it, so he was regarded as an ordinary person and arranged to live in the school. They used to live under the cellar where food was stored. The cellar was specially remodeled, and a lot of building materials were pasted around it, but not much metal was used.

When he woke up, the boy found that he seemed to be buried alive, and the people who lived with him were all crushed to death. Relying on his supernatural powers, he absorbed the metal blocks inserted from the collapsed cellar, barely shoveling away the soil layer and partitions. After crawling back to the ground, I found that the survivors of the whole school had turned into bloody corpses, and some gigantic domestic pets were lying stiff and heavy on the playground, all of which were horrific in death!

The young man managed to survive the fright, and found that there were metal worms crawling on his body, and immediately used energy to force them out, rolling and crawling away.

The astonishing endurance that a person exploded under the survival instinct made him run for tens of kilometers on foot all the way, until the team of supernatural beings who came to hunt in a surrounding city survived, and were taken to J City.
