It was night, a bright silver moon hung high in the sky, and the faint light of the night illuminated the ground of the mining area in a deep blue, and the forest on the top of the mountain was plunged into a thick darkness.

Darkness and seclusion erode the atmosphere of the environment and the sense of reassurance of the people all the time, and only a few bright yellow night lights illuminate the mining area, resisting the gloom that spreads from the dark forest.

By 11 p.m., the large mining machines had long since stopped working, and the producers were sleeping peacefully in their makeshift dormitories. The only tents lit up were those of Wu Qi, Mo Li, and Li Fushan, the person in charge of the mining area. Outside the tent, half of the guards walked in the darkly lit mining area, on night duty.

Among the half of the guards, there were 4 people in Wu Qi's team. Wu Qi, Krees, Gao Yuan, and July were ordered by Morley to be on night duty, and they could not sleep until at least 3 a.m. during the rotation. Wu Qi asked Gao Yuan to stay close to the camp tent at all times, so as not to let the whole team leave, and it was not safe for Guo Baibai to sleep alone in the camp tent.

The three of them and one fox scattered in the huge mining area, and Wu Qi held an electromagnetic kinetic energy rifle in both hands, patrolling from the mining area to the outer circle. When he walked to the northwest of the edge of the mining area, he subconsciously looked up and saw a large vacancy of trees in the boundless mountain forest.

Seeing the place that had been swallowed up by the wildfire, Wu Qi recalled the Black Wind Giant Bear that had escaped from under his hands. He didn't know if the Black Wind Bear had worsened after being seriously injured, or if it was recuperating and waiting for revenge.

It is rare for the plague species to attack after the mine is suspended, and if there is, it must be in droves. This is the pattern that Wu Qi asked from a producer in the afternoon.

Without asking, Wu Qi found that not only the guards led by Morley, but even the miners who worked in the mining area and had nothing to do with them did not treat them very well, so Wu Qi bribed a miner with two gene-enhancing drugs to make him spit out some information about the mining area.

Bribery was successful. The miners told Wu Qi that the mine had been mined for nearly three months, and that every other month, members of the escort team would return to the base in batches according to the reported time; So far, not a single guard has been killed and only three soldiers have been wounded. In contrast, all the convoys killed a total of 800 plague species that attacked the mines during these three months.

Wu Qi also learned that Morley's group had been here for 23 days, which meant that they would leave with them in 7 days. Wu Qi was puzzled when he learned this information. According to the law, they also have to serve as guards in the mining area for 30 days.

The miner did not answer Wu Qi's doubts, but said that he was going to rest, and Wu Qi decisively added two more genetic enhancement drugs to pierce the miner's last mouth seal.

The miners said that the probe had detected that the stock of Gaussian stone in the underground of the mine was running out, and that according to the previous mining rate, it could be mined within seven days, and the value of the remaining ore mining was low, so instead of leaving the equipment and manpower of the entire mining area in place to mine the remaining ore, the mining department should transfer these important resources to the newly discovered veins of the survey team outside the wall to develop a new mining area.

After Wu Qi asked, he finally understood the position of their team in the mining area, that is, the so-called supplementary source of troops. But after solving one doubt, the old question resurfaced - why did Joestar assign their entire team to the escort team, just to serve as a supplementary force?

The miner finally spoke his mind, he said, "I have never seen an example of an entire team being assigned to a department and performing a mission, and everyone here was broken up by Joestar when they first entered the Dawn Base, as long as they had companions, so it was natural to be jealous of Wu Qi and his party." ”

Wu Qi's deal with the miners was officially suspended at this point, and now Wu Qi was repeatedly reviewing the information from the trade of four genetically enhancing potions in the night, while patrolling with a gun.

His information base was much richer than when he first entered the mining area, and Wu Qi did not think that the information he had bothered to gather was useless. They helped Wu Qi bridge the gap in the amount of intelligence with Morley and other guards, and learned the basic information of the mining area, which may be useful in the future against Morley.

At this time, Wu Qi suddenly caught a glimpse of an eye with a strange light at the edge of the dark forest. The dark environment could not diminish Wu Qi's eyesight, and he immediately saw that it was a terrifying wolf lurking with only one eye open.

The wolf seemed to be staring at Wu Qi all the time, and Wu Qi turned around and ran away at the same time as he found it. Wu Qi raised the electromagnetic kinetic energy rifle like lightning, but saw that the terrifying wolf's skin and coat color changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it perfectly integrated into the complex forest.

Wu Qi estimated that the hit rate of this shot would not exceed 60%, and immediately rushed out, jumped over the buffer zone at the edge of the mining area, and broke into the dark forest.

Countless fragments of moonlight fall to the ground through the dense sea of leaves, weaving together with the lush bushes and the dark-toned trees that stand one by one, weaving a picture of a dark and dead forest. Wu Qi couldn't see the swift wolf, but he could hear the wolf's footsteps.

To Wu Qi's surprise, he only heard the footsteps of a terrifying wolf, and the target was slowly slowing down 150 meters in front of him. Except for the footsteps of this terrible wolf, there was not a single footstep in the surrounding forest.

This is diametrically opposed to what the miners said, but everything cannot be just superficial, the hacker wolf who knows how to detect and escape undoubtedly has normal intelligence, and the other hacker wolves must know how to weaken the vigilance of their prey by lurking motionlessly, if he chooses to chase the hacker wolf and go deep into the forest, he may fall into the trap of the wolves.

Wu Qi thought comprehensively and decided to quit the forest. After all, the forest is so big and there are so many plague species that it makes no sense to kill one or two.

At this moment, Wu Qi suddenly heard a series of gentle footsteps. He held his breath and listened with his ears close to the ground.

The sound of footsteps is multiple and complex, and the stampede becomes more and more intense, like a stormy interlude after the end of the prelude. Wu Qi closed his eyes, as if he saw a pitch-black ground, and countless rains fell on the ground, flooding with fine multiple ripples.

Within a radius of 200 meters, there were more than 30 terrifying wolf footsteps, and all of them had reached the edge of the forest!

Wu Qi was slightly shocked, he was originally just guessing, but now it seems that the guess is true. There are indeed a large number of wolves lurking at the edge of the forest, waiting for an opportunity to catch the guards to take the bait.

In the next second, the hordes of wolves took action, and a large number of footsteps reached Wu Qi's ears, indicating that they were about to attack the mining area at night!
