"I ...... I hid a bag of potatoes, a large piece of dried rat meat, and a bottle of drink, which I couldn't eat. There's nothing to eat anywhere now, you ...... As long as you let go of my brother, I'll give it all to you......" The little boy said with a heart-wrenched expression on his face, bowing his head and breaking his fingers.

Three black lines rose on Jiang Liushi's forehead.

Although there is a lack of food in the last days, the Stone Shadow Team is an exception.

Now the Stone Shadow team rarely eats rice, and almost all of them are mutant beast meat.

"Bao'er, don't say it! Anyway, this time we planted it, I admit it! ”

The young man who was pressed to his forehead by Jiang Liushi calmed down after the initial panic, raised his head, and said to Jiang Liushi with a gun: "Where are you from?" I know almost all of the powerful survivor squads in Panzhu City, but I've never seen you. ”

"Don't you know where we came from, if you look at the direction where we came?" The shotgun in Zhang Hai's hand swept back and forth in front of a group of teenagers and children, and said lazily.

Pointed at by the muzzle of the shotgun in the black hole, this group of robbers was silent one by one.

Jiang Liushi's heart moved, and his eyes looked at Yang Tianzhao.

This Yang Tianzhao listened to the tone and knew the major forces in Panzhu City well, and Jiang Liushi couldn't help but be a little interested.

"Where? Could it be northern Jiangsu? Yang Tianzhao asked rhetorically.

"Hey, stinky boy, if you are robbed, you have to look like you have been robbed! Why do you ask so much? Believe it or not, I shot you into a bloody hole? Our brother Jiang said that if you want to mutate crystal nuclei and rare metals, take them out quickly, otherwise you will be destroyed with one shot! Sun Kun took a step forward, and the shotgun hit Yang Tianzhao's stomach and said.

He hadn't shaved for many days, and his sides were already covered with dense beards, and with his already thick figure, his face looked very hideous with a little fierceness.

"Wow, don't kill my brother." Bao'er, who was held in her hand by Zero, saw Sun Kun's gun against Yang Tianzhao, and she was still sobbing just now, and she cried again.

"Uh." When Sun Kun saw this little kid crying, his head suddenly grew for a while. If it was an adult, he would have slapped him a few times, but he really couldn't help the crying baby in front of him.

"I ...... The mutant crystal nucleus does not. If you want rare metals, we have some of them in the mining area, so I don't know what rare metals you want. Yang Tianzhao was hit a few times by the shotgun, his ribs ached faintly, and he lowered his head and looked quite depressed.

"You're an anomaly, will you have a mutated crystal nucleus? If you don't have a mutant crystal nucleus, you have to eat mutant beast meat, right? Where is the warehouse where you put your stuff? We'll do our own searching. Sun Kun said in a rough voice.

He didn't believe the words of the young man in front of him.

Yang Tianzhao's body trembled.

"I can take you to the warehouse, but you ...... You can't kill! If you're any cruel, I'd rather die here. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Liushi, with unconcealed worry in his eyes.

Yang Tianzhao knew that Jiang Liushi was the leader of this group of elite survivors from outside.

"We only want things, not your lives." Jiang Liushi raised his eyelids and said lightly.

Yang Tianzhao was stunned, eh, why is this so familiar?

Panzhu City was already in sight, and Jiang Liushi was not in a hurry.

It was a rare opportunity for him to meet Yang Tianzhao, a group of amateur robbers in the mining area.

Panzhu City is a well-known mining city in Hujiang Province, not only has a large number of gold, silver, iron and other mines, but also many associated mines rich in rare metals.

Rare metals are not as common as copper and iron, and they are difficult to obtain in ordinary cities.

In the past, when the base car wanted to build a biological laboratory, it needed hundreds of catties of rare metals such as titanium, nickel, and cobalt.

In the end, Jiang Liushi spent a lot of hard work to get it in a special metal company.

Later, after leaving Jinling, they only replenished a few rare metals one after another along the way.

The alloy shell, as well as many of the base car's equipment, are destroyed, and these rare metals are needed for construction and repair.

After leaving Wushui County and repairing the base car, the rare metal obtained from the Xiangxuehai warehouse has been completely exhausted.

If there is any damage to the base car in the future, Jiang Liushi will not have rare metal materials on hand to repair it at all.

This is a serious problem.

When you come to the mining city of Panzhu City, of course, Jiangliushi must be searched locally.

Zhang Hai and Sun Kun walked one after the other, with shotguns in their hands, monitoring the mixed robbery team of big men, teenagers, and children, and walked towards one of the large mines.

Ying drove the minibus and followed unhurriedly behind.

Yang Tianzhao was at the front, holding the little boy Bao'er who was let go by Zero tightly in his hand.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, he observed the words and deeds of Zhang Hai and Jiang Liushi, and the worry in his heart eased slightly.

Although this group of people is fierce, they do not seem to be innocent people, and they do not use any violence against them.

Otherwise, with their strength, why bother to talk to Yang Tianzhao about the conditions, just kill them if they are disobedient. They didn't do it just now, and as long as they don't anger them, they won't be able to do it after that.

Yang Tianzhao's heart was full of frustration now, and he only hoped that this group of people could get what they wanted and leave quickly.

With their little foundation, they can't afford to toss it now.

The sun was scorching, and after walking in the sun for a while, a layer of oil sweat broke out on many teenagers.

Jiang Liushi walked next to Yang Tianzhao, and there was not a drop of sweat on his body.

Yang Tianzhao observed from the side, very surprised in his heart.

On such a hot day, he doesn't sweat, he looks like a non-human.

He didn't feel any abnormal energy fluctuations on Jiang Liushi's body, but he could feel a very strange feeling.

This feeling is that after the mutation of the alien cell, he has a fighting instinct like a beast.

How did he know that Jiang Liushi has the evolutionary bloodline power awakened by the gene fluid, and his body functions are different from ordinary people, whether it is hot or cold, the body's capillary dilation, closure and other functions can regulate body temperature.

Eventually, the minibus stopped at the foot of a 100-meter-high mountain.

Yang Tianzhao and the others walked halfway up the mountain, in front of a collapsed mine.

The cave looks no different from the others, and stands out from the surrounding mines.

The entrance to the mine was also blocked by several large rocks that had collapsed and blocked.

Only through the few crevices exposed between the large rocks can you feel the depth and darkness of the inside of the mine.

"Brother!"

Bao'er looked up at Yang Tianzhao with tears in her eyes, her little eyes full of worry.

Yang Tianzhao sighed secretly.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Yang Tianzhao is also helpless, now they are fish on the chopping board, and they can only listen to Jiang Liushi, a group of outsiders.

From behind his buttocks, he pulled out a small hollowed-out rock.

"Woohoo."

Yang Tianzhao took a breath at the small hole, and there was a melodious sound inside.

At this time, at the entrance of the mine, which had appeared to be closed, the rocks that had blocked the entrance collapsed intact into the ground.

In the end, a hole was revealed that the two of them could pass through.

Jiang Liushi was a little surprised, mechanism?

Follow Yang Tianzhao into the cave, and when he passed the entrance of the cave, Jiang Liushi looked down and could see that there was an iron beam, a rope and a metal lifting device below.

Apparently here is a small machine well.

Entering the cave, the view narrows suddenly.

The height and width of the mine in front of him are about two meters, and the air is turbid.

A railroad track has no bottom, and it slopes all the way to the depths of an unknown mine.

Four minecarts came to a quiet stop on the tracks.

"Be careful, there are many people in the depths of the mine, their position is very deep, and my spiritual power can't cover that far." Ran Xiyu's voice suddenly sounded in the minds of every member of the Stone Shadow Team who entered the mine.

Ran Xiyu followed Ying and Li Yuxin, and they all stayed in the base car, and their mental fluctuations were always probing the situation around Jiang Liushi.

The mine was very deep, several kilometers long, and the soil layer of the mine that was soaked in water could greatly weaken her mental power detection.

In particular, the depths of the mine are full of holes, extending through dense passages like spider webs.

There were many places that she couldn't detect.

After receiving Ran Xiyu's warning, the people of the Stone Shadow team all woke up.

This mine is the home of this group of young people, even if they are all supernatural and powerful, they dare not be careless.

"Don't play any tricks." The dagger in Zero's hand suddenly slashed towards Yang Tianzhao, brushed it a few times, almost all of it was attached to the root of Yang Tianzhao's ear, and scraped off a layer of fine broken hair, but it didn't hurt Yang Tianzhao.

Yang Tianzhao didn't dare to move when he stood still, and his hairs stood on end all over his body - what a terrifying, accurate knife technique!

"Don't worry, as long as you remember what you said, we won't do anything else. After all, I'm the only one here. Yang Tianzhao grimaced and said to the river.

Jiang Liushi nodded.

The first minecart was loaded with Jiang Liushi, Zero, Yang Tianzhao, Bao'er and several other people, and the last minecart was Sun Kun and Zhang Hai holding shotguns.

Rumble!

The minecart followed the tracks, rumbling deeper into the mine.

The mine was long, and there was no light along the way.

About a minute later, boom, the minecart came to a halt, and it was already at the end of the track.

When I got here, there were a few lights flickering on the mine.

"Electricity!"

Seeing the light in front of him, Jiang Liushi was very surprised.

The rest of the Stone Shadow team was also surprised.

In the old days, of course, electric lights were common.

But after the beginning of the end times, many of the former civilizations of mankind were destroyed in the cataclysm.

Electricity, the crystallization of a very complex human civilization, can only be seen in the safe islands and base cities where some survivors gather.

It was surprising that there was nothing but an underground mine in front of it, and that there were electric lights and wires in it.

"This is my brother's own self-made solar electricity, and the wires are all arranged by my brother."

Seeing the surprised look of Jiang Liushi and the others, Bao'er couldn't help but say, with a little pride in her tone.

Jiang Liushi's gaze fell on Yang Tianzhao.

He remembered that the steel crossbow held by the gang just now, as well as the signal arrows fired by Bao'er, were probably made by Yang Tianzhao.

In this way, this kid turned out to be a genius in manual invention.

After the end of the world, many survivors lost the importance of some human civilizations, and they only valued their own strength.

Jiang Liushi is different, he has always attached great importance to talents.

Only with real human resources can the survivors of the post-apocalyptic world have the hope of being able to continue to survive and reproduce on the earth, and it is possible to rebuild civilization.

"Don't listen to Bao'er, this solar lamp has solar panels or something, I just tinkered with it a little." Seeing Jiang Liushi's inquiring gaze, Yang Tianzhao said.

"Hmm." Jiang Liushi nodded: "Then let me see the warehouse now." You all have a different category of things, right? I want a lot of rare metals, so I need all of your inventory. As long as you give me these things, I won't embarrass you. ”

Yang Tianzhao saw that Jiang Liushi was really just here to get the metal, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Okay, I'll take you."

Yang Tianzhao agreed. He was originally worried that Jiang Liushi would want iron as a metal.

They have to supply these things to other forces, and it will be difficult to do them if they are not stocked.

I didn't expect Jiang Liushi to ask for some very biased metals.

They really have these metals here, basically no one will fight the idea of these metals, and those forces can't use them.

Probably sensing the movement in the tunnel, slowly from the mine caves in all directions of the tunnel, thin miners came one by one.

Without exception, these miners turned out to be teenagers and children.

The child was even naked, wearing only a pair of small pants and no clothes to wear.

They were covered in all kinds of dust and dirty, and the only clean place was probably the two rows of white teeth in their mouths.

When they saw the strangers of the Stone Shadow team and the guns in their hands, there was a commotion in the mine, and some children cried out in fright.

Some of the braver young men raised their hoes vigilantly.

Yang Tianzhao was obviously the leader of this group of young miners, and his words carried a lot of weight, and in a few words, the commotion was calmed down.

After a while, the two teenagers in charge of the warehouse cowered and walked into a warehouse dug from an abandoned mine pit with Jiang Liushi, Zhang Hai and Yang Tianzhao.

Zero and Sun Kun are still guarding the miner boys outside.

Under the watchful eye of the two supernatural beings, no teenager dared to have anything else in mind.

After walking around the warehouse for a while, Jiang Liushi couldn't help but be surprised.

It's so barren here.

Most of the storage inside is high-quality iron ore, copper ore and other common metals, and some gold and other things.

Some rare metals are placed in the corners, and the bags are labeled on the top.

Elsewhere, there were three sacks of rice, some dry food, and two palm-sized pieces of meat hanging from a wooden pole.

"Is this mutant beast meat?" Jiang Liushi turned around and asked Yang Tianzhao beside him.

Yang Tianzhao's mood was suddenly a little nervous, he only had such a piece left.

"It's mutant beast meat, but it's spoiled, and I've smeared a lot of salt on it, so it's hard to eat." He tried his best to describe the meat as badly, trying to dispel some of Jiang Liushi's thoughts.

Seeing Yang Tianzhao's nervous expression, Jiang Liushi smiled faintly, he didn't know Yang Tianzhao's thoughts.

But will he take a fancy to this bit of mutant beast meat?

Seeing the smile on Jiang Liushi's face, Yang Tianzhao's face was hot, and it seemed that he was despised.

It's ridiculous that he's afraid that others will rob him of his little mutant beast meat.

"You call someone in and bring me all these rare metals to the bus at the foot of the mountain." Jiang Liushi turned back to Yang Tianzhao and said.

He glanced at the bags that held the rare metals, and his spirits lifted a lot.

This bag of rare metals weighs 500 pounds, to say the least.

Some rare metals, such as titanium, even have more than a thousand pounds.

In fact, titanium is not expensive, but it is not easy to find it in the last days, and many mining cities are distributed in distant provinces.

This harvest will allow him to worry about the rare metal materials used to make alloy shells and other things for a long time.

"You ...... You've got what you want, can you let us go? Yang Tianzhao looked at Jiang Liushi expectantly.

After all, he is still just a childish teenager, and it is easier to write joys, angers, sorrows and sorrows on his face.

"Don't worry. I also want you to help me make some improvised time bombs and explosives packs. Jiang Liushi said lightly: "Those steel crossbows and wellhead lifting devices are all made by you, right?" Presumably, some improvised time bombs and explosives packs are definitely not under your word. ”

Yang Tianzhao was stunned, and a burst of anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Sure enough, it's a bunch of insatiable guys.

He can make time bombs, and the explosives pack is simpler, but explosives are very rare things, even if they are configured, it takes time, and a lot of them have been used in order to cope with the exploitation of some guys in Panzhu City......

He was so distressed.

"Don't worry, it's not for nothing that I asked you to make time bombs and explosives packs. I'll trade with you, trade mutant beast meat and other food. Jiang Liushi said slowly.

Mutant beast meat? Grain?

Yang Tianzhao's angry mood just now disappeared suddenly.

"Really? That...... So how do you trade? Yang Tianzhao's eyes were very bright, and he stammered a little when he looked at Jiang Liushi.

Now their group of young miners is most lacking food.

As for the mutant beast meat, it is even more important to him.

He now feels a lack of strength every day.

"Listen to me." Jiang Liushi waved his hand: "In addition, I also want you to go to Panzhu City with me." You are our jack of all trades, and I pay you on a daily basis. ”
