Su Shu and the others first eliminated the patrolling gopher miners in batches, and then attacked the small gopher guarding the entrance of the cave.

"Ding~Miner Helmet*1"

"Ding~Pickaxe*1"

"Ding~Iron Ore*1"

……

A total of 5 pickaxes, 3 helmets, and some materials such as iron ore were dropped.

6 silly gopher miners, a few people in batches to set fire output, far easier than imagined.

After solving the hole of the gopher miner, it was found that there were still 20 minutes to reach 5 o'clock, which was earlier than expected, so there was still time to explore the cave.

Turning on the light on the dropped helmet, Su Shu and his party walked into the cave.

Unlike what I imagined, there was a very dark and slender tunnel at the entrance of the cave, and without the light on the helmet, several people would not dare to rush forward.

Walking out of the dark and narrow tunnel, you will see a large natural mine.

Ji Shaowei felt a little strange: "This is a little strange, there are guarded gophers at the entrance of the cave, and there are patrolling gophers, it seems that everything has been arranged, but when you enter the mine, there is nothing strange, this is very wrong!" ”

Su Shu also agreed with him, but there was another possibility, "Could it be because the monsters in the mine haven't merged into the earth yet?" ”

"After all, it's only the third day of the end of the world, and this mountain was only refreshed today, and it is very likely that this mountain has not been fully fused yet, so we were lucky enough to solve 6 little gophers and come in."

"If my guess is correct, there is a good chance that a boss will spawn here in such a large natural mine."

He Yuzhi agreed with this speculation, "I agree, and we haven't figured out how the system refreshes the monster, and it is also a question whether the 6 gopher miners killed today will refresh it tomorrow, it seems that tomorrow there will be an answer to this cave again." ”

Su Shu took out the 5 dropped pickaxes, except for Granny Shen, there was just one person each, and seeing that there was still some time left, several people hurriedly started mining.

As for Granny Shen, because she was old, she helped watch the wind at the entrance of the cave, and by the way, she would take a rest, and she would have to go down the mountain in a while.

As soon as 5 o'clock arrived, a few people packed up the iron ore and began to walk back down the mountain.

Su Shu only took Xiao Rucai's share, and then gave today's salary to the grandparents and grandchildren.

On the way back, the group only encountered a few small monsters, and the fight was not tricky.

Because I was afraid that I would encounter danger when it was dark, I didn't collect some of the plants I saw on the road, but just noted the location and came back tomorrow, and the last few people hurried back to the base before 6 o'clock.

Seeing that there were materials but could not be collected, Su Shu's heart was numb with pain along the way, and not having time to collect it was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the hoarding rats.

……

"Ding~ Welcome back to the Xiangyang base."

After returning to the base, Su Shu muttered: "If you can't travel after dark, you must solve it!" ”

Then I talked to He Yuzhi about the fact that the weapon shop can hire players.

"So you can hire me, as long as the two of us set the terms and sign the system contract?" He Yuzhi asked.

"That's how it should be. That one...... So can I hire you to work part-time? It doesn't take up a lot of your time, just help me make a batch of torches first. ”

"I thought about it for a moment, if a player can't come back before dark, the torch can be lit, and maybe it can save someone's life when it's critical."

"I'll pay for the handicraft and materials, you can help me do it, and I'll sell it in the weapon shop when I'm done."

He Yuzhi looked at Su Shu's nervous appearance and smiled, "It's okay if you don't give me money, I can give you a day job." ”

Su Shu's ears were a little red after hearing this, but he still maintained a businesslike tone and said, "That's not good, the wages that should be paid must be paid, or I will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time." ”

In the end, under Su Shu's tough attitude, he decided to pay He Yuzhi some manual fees, and then the two signed a system contract and agreed to go to the weapon shop to make torches later.

After the arrangement was made here, Su Shu went to find Granny Shen and them again, and after collecting it all day today, she found that Granny Shen's physical strength was not good and she couldn't keep up with the progress of the team, so she came to talk to her about changing to other jobs.

……

"Sister, you're here! Come on in! Su Shu ran into Xiaoru before he could go in.

Su Shu smiled and quipped, "What?" Guess I'm coming? ”

Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, "It's grandma, grandma thinks she's dragging her feet today, and wants to say that she won't follow the team tomorrow, which is too inefficient." ”

Su Shu looked worried and afraid that Xiao Ru would be unhappy, and pulled Xiao Ru into Granny Shen's tent, "Mother-in-law, I'm here!" ”

Granny Shen hurriedly asked Su Shu to sit down, and then said: "Xiao Shu, you came just in time, my mother-in-law still wants to talk to you, I won't follow you to collect tomorrow, I know you want to help us, but my old arms and legs really can't keep up, so let Xiaoru go with you." ”

Su Shu looked at the old man who had taken care of him, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, I came here today to talk about this." It's also that I didn't think it through, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law's physical strength to be unsuitable for the team, so I wanted to ask my mother-in-law if she would like to change her job at the base? ”

"To tell you the truth, you should have heard us talk about closed beta on the road today, remember before the end of the world I mentioned that I always dreamed at night for many years and couldn't sleep well?"

"After the end of the world began, I knew that it was not a dream, it was the system that selected 10,000 people to participate in the closed beta, and I happened to be one of these 10,000 people, so I will know more than you."

Xiao Ru said with a surprised face: "So that's the case, no wonder sister, you're so powerful!" ”

Su Shu looked at Xiaoru with only simple worship in his eyes, so he put his heart at ease, there was no way, he suspected that it was a common problem of growing up in an orphanage.

"Granny Shen said that I couldn't keep up with the team, and I also found out, so I wanted to ask my mother-in-law if you would like to be a logistics logistician for our team? I remember that my mother-in-law is very good at knitting sweaters and something, and I can provide you with equipment drawings, and provide materials and manual fees, what do you think? ”

Granny Shen said with some excitement: "Xiao Shu, you are too much of a loss!" ”

"It's okay, it just so happens that I need to train such a person, and I don't have time for myself, mother-in-law, I believe in you, if you can do it, you can help me share the pressure."

In the end, Su Shu set the price of the manual fee, and then took the "primary backpack" drawings dropped by today's monster to her mother-in-law, gave 15 materials, and asked her mother-in-law to try her hands first, and come over tomorrow afternoon to pick up the finished product.

Granny Shen was moved again when she saw Su Shu helping them like this, and promised to keep it secret under Su Shu's instructions.

Su Shu wasn't afraid of them saying it, but the backpack was a very useful piece of equipment at this stage, and their grandparents and grandchildren didn't have the force to protect themselves, so it would be dangerous to be known.

……

"Why can't I get into the base?"

"What's going on when the people are full!"

"It's dark! What am I going to do! ”

……

As soon as Su Shu came out of Granny Shen's tent, she heard someone shouting at the door, and then she hurriedly opened the base panel.

#向阳基地

Current Claimants: 200 (198 Temporary Claimants, 1 NPC)

Today's income: 2,153 copper coins

Looking at the extra money from today's income, Su Shu was a little confused, and looked through the records only to find that the weapon shop had sold weapons today, and there were still people trading in the base to collect taxes.

Looking happily at the money on the panel, and then at the person who was still crying hoarsely at the door, a sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart.

The end times are coming, how should human beings survive on earth?
