Chapter 8: Strange changes in the mine
Li Xun burst into laughter, Chen Shu actually put on a serious posture, she didn't know how many times she usually entered without asking?
"You seem to be enjoying the gentle caress of Fengxue. How dare I interrupt you." Li Xun glanced at Chen Shu and smiled.
He put on his clothes, kicked the fire away, gathered the charcoal, and then walked to the mine door with a smile.
Chen Shu hummed and said, "Boy, don't think that I have to look for you. If you miss me, you will suffer a lot." As soon as he finished speaking,
a strong wind suddenly roared past, and the goose-feather snow fell more densely in the sky.
After a while, Chen Shu's felt hat was already covered with a thick layer of snow. She was annoyed and slapped the snowflakes off the hat hard, leaving a lot of ice particles on her face.
"Brother Xun, you have been standing at the door for so long, are you secretly doing something shameful behind my back?"
At this moment, Fang Liujiu's square body glided over from the depths of the mine, surrounding him. Follow Li Xun around in circles.
"Don't be too fussy, just go back to the cave and spin around." Li Xun lightly kicked Fang Liujiu and kicked him back into the mine.
Chen Shu also took the opportunity to straighten his face, showing a calm look. Of course, he was a little embarrassed.
Li Xun held back his laughter and decided to call it a day. He stretched out his hand to invite, and stood at the entrance of the mine and said: "Come on, come on, Sister Chen, please come in and hide from the snow. This humble house is a little leaky, so don't mind."
Chen Shu's face turned from gloomy to clear, and he smoothed the hair around his ears. Her small chest was slightly raised and she moved over.
The figures of the two people were very small in the vast and deserted mining area.
This mining area was originally rich in raw Z steel ore.
Z steel is a specialty steel of the White Arms Kingdom. It has high hardness, high toughness, high temperature resistance, wear resistance and other properties. It is widely used in aerospace, ship operations, special weapons production, etc.
Even extraordinary tools have many parts that require the use of z-steel materials.
Qifeng Town was built with the help of Z-steel industry.
It is said that more than 20 years ago was the most prosperous time, with 600 mining machines operating at the same time every day, and more than 3,000 supporting high-tech workers and engineers settling nearby.
The residential area where Chen Shu currently lives was the former accommodation for employees of Baiji Mining Group.
At that time, the White Arms Kingdom also gradually introduced the AI governance system and slowly achieved more than 90% of intelligent automated industrial production.
Workers are gradually being replaced by intelligent robots, and their living standards have been greatly reduced. They can only maintain their minimum living by applying for the minimum food security from automatic food factories.
Ten years ago, the Z steel mine in Qifeng Town dried up, the mining group transferred its industries, and the mining area became deserted.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the entire mining area is like a honeycomb, densely packed with holes of all sizes.
Around the mine where Li Xun currently lives, there are many third- and fourth-class citizens who are homeless like him, each occupying a small mine.
However, the past month has been a period of high snowstorms, and most of the third- and fourth-class citizens have closed their doors, hoping to survive the severe cold.
If he hadn't mastered the skill of ice fishing for red-scaled fish by coincidence before, I'm afraid Li Xun would have continued the negative cycle in the past two years and waited for death in the mine.
As for the mine where Li Xun lives, after his continuous maintenance, it is clean and spacious, and it is quite comfortable to live in.
When he was about to enter the mine, Chen Shu's nose suddenly moved and said, "There is a strange smell." "Is it the smell of
my sweat? Aren't you used to it?" Li Xun smiled lightly.
Chen Shu rolled her eyes at Li Xun and said that Li Xun's sweat smelled very good...
Of course, Chen Shu would only keep this in her heart. She said:
"I still don't know what you smell? It smells like rancid fish! This smell is even weirder. It's very similar to when someone died, but it's not the same thing?" "I'm here? Dead person? Why don't I smell it? ." Li Xun's eyes were strange.
"It's not your place. The smell comes from next door." Chen Shu inhaled and looked around.
"In this kind of weather, the smell won't spread far, let alone the smell of death." Li Xun said.
"Don't believe it, do you know what my sister's extraordinary ability is?" Chen Shu said as he walked to the right side of the mine.
"Do you have extraordinary abilities?" Li Xun was surprised.
"Otherwise? Otherwise, how can I secure my position as the branch president of the Raneng Society?"
Chen Shu was speechless: "Aren't you? We've known each other for so long, and you don't know? Oh, you fish guy, you fish guy, you're wasting your time taking care of me. I have been in your business for so long and I don’t know anything about them."
Although Li Xun was indeed a little embarrassed in his heart, he did not show it and said calmly:
"This shows that your outstanding appearance has covered up your identity. Learn the branch. Your appearance is nothing. It’s nothing compared to your beauty. I don’t know and it’s understandable.” “
Exactly.”
If an ordinary character said this, Chen Shu would at most say thank you for the compliment, but if it were someone she cared about, But I felt quite comfortable, so in the end I just hummed a few words and had no other words.
Li Xun glanced at Chen Shu and saw that the corners of her mouth could not stop rising, and he laughed in his heart. Well, this woman is easy to fool, so just give her a few compliments.
Chen Shu didn't care about Li Xun's expression. If it was true or not, would I not be able to tell?
"By the way, you haven't said what your extraordinary ability is yet. Could it be one of the extraordinary abilities - Dog Nose?" "
You are Dog Nose. My extraordinary ability is a C-level six-sense enhancement. The divine fire seed is called Soul." The smoke, the sensitive nose is just one of the symptoms."
While talking, the two came to the door of another mine, and now, even Li Xun could smell a vague strange smell.
"It does smell like death, the kind that just died."
Li Xun's eyes moved slightly. He had never seen dead people before traveling through time, but after traveling through time, he saw a lot of them in the mining area.
I have seen people who died of illness, old age, died in the mines, and were killed, so I identified them immediately.
The abandoned mining area in Qifeng Town is not a safe zone. It is common for those third- and fourth-class citizens who have been abandoned by the AI governing system to pick up sharp weapons to kill and rob in order to survive and change their destiny.
It was during this month that there was high wind and snow, and the mining area seemed so harmonious at this time.
The two approached the entrance of the mine. Li Xun looked up and saw that the entrance was numbered G23. There was an inconspicuous trace of blood under the letter "G".
The entrance to the cave was not blocked, and the wind and snow kept pouring in, making a sharp and ear-splitting sound, like a ghost crying.
"It's not just dead people, the smell of blood is too strong, it's like going through a massacre."
Chen Shu looked a little heavy.
Unlike other first-class citizens, she has a feeling of compassion for the lower-class citizens of Qifeng Town due to her own background.
When I looked inside the cave entrance, I saw that the blood had not yet solidified. It was flowing gurglingly from the depths, flowing to the entrance of the cave, and seeping into the ground.
It is no exaggeration to know that in such a world of ice and snow, it is no exaggeration to say that a drop of water turns into ice, but the blood seems to be alive, which is very strange.
Chen Shu took a deep breath and was about to walk in.
"These bloods are not normal." Li Xun grabbed Chen Shu, "Don't be stupid. You don't know what's going on inside at this time. Why go in there?" (End of Chapter
