The mining site is huge, with only two floors in total, but it is the size of a football field.
After Master Wang parked the car, he entered the base with Ning Qiu.
"You're the only one?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged fat man with a gold necklace around his neck, and at a glance he knew that he was the boss of these people.
"What's wrong with a person, if you get in the car quickly just now, you can definitely leave." Ning Qiu swept everyone present with cold eyes, thinking that it would be difficult for these people to trick him again, he finally entered Taixian County and found them, but he was unwilling to leave?
An awakened person on the side was about to speak, but the middle-aged fat man preemptively said: "We still have some goods that have not been filled, so we have to wait for a day or two." β
"Yes, but I'm only responsible for bringing you back, I don't care about other things, and you have to pay for my driver's expenses for the next few days." Ning Qiu said.
"No problem." The middle-aged fat man said.
Since they didn't want to leave now, Ning Qiu couldn't force it, so he had to wait for a few days.
There are also two Awoken in the caravan, who are members of a mercenary group.
But to Ning Qiu's surprise, the badges worn on the chests of these two awakened were the same ones he had found in the corpses before.
In this way, these two Awakened and the Awakened One who died in the pile of corpses are members of the same mercenary group.
Ning Qiu handed the badge to them, and saw that sadness and sadness flowed from their faces.
"We are mercenaries of the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group, and Boss Xiao privately hired us to join his caravan." Said one of the Awoken.
"In that case, then why release a rescue mission?" Ning Qiu was puzzled.
The middle-aged fat man's name is Xiao Zuan, who is obviously a big boss with deep pockets, and when he went to Taixian, he had already hired a mercenary group squad.
"We originally thought that this was just a simple task of escorting, but we didn't expect that there were far more zombies in Taixian County than we thought. When we entered Taixian, two of our teammates had already been killed, and when we arrived at the mining base, we found that there were large groups of zombies attacking here every day. β
"Ordinary zombies are unconscious, how can they attack here every day?" Ning Qiu was a little surprised.
"We also thought it was strange, but as time went by, we realized that things were not as simple as we thought. The captain saw that this was not good, so he planned to give up and leave Taixian. But when leaving, we encountered a large group of zombies, and in the end, only the two of us survived. β
From the corpses that covered the road that Ning Qiu saw last night, it can be imagined that the scene at that time must have been very tragic.
"Then how long have you been in Taixian?" Ning Qiu asked.
"I wanted the Mercenary Association to send a rescue a month ago, but we've been here for almost two months."
Ning Qiu frowned and said, "What about the mercenary team that took on this task before?" β
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then said, "Before you, there was no team to rescue us." β
Ning Qiu was a little stunned, thinking to himself that the task released a month ago, how could it be that no one had taken it all the time?
Or did those people have been wiped out when they entered Taixian?
Thinking of this, Ning Qiu suddenly felt a little shocked.
"I advise you to give up this mission, the three of us leave Taixian together, maybe there is a glimmer of life." Said one of the Awoken.
If it was just because of the large number of zombies, Ning Qiu didn't feel terrible, because he only found ordinary zombies along the way, and he didn't even encounter a low-level advanced zombie.
He is different from ordinary awakened people, Horcruxes allow him to fight zombies in close combat, and there is no need to consume soul power, as long as there are no advanced zombies, this Taixian County can't trap him.
Ning Qiu has already spent 30,000 yuan for this task, and if the task is not completed, he will lose money, he will not do this kind of business.
Besides, once he gave up this mission, it would be equivalent to breaking the 100% mission completion record of the civilized mercenary group.
Lin Song is a junior beginner fire awakener, he relied on his good talent to join the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, this time he came to Taixian, it was his first time on a mission, but he didn't expect to be so unfortunate when he went out for the first time.
Originally, he thought that he might die here, but Ning Qiu's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope, because he saw Ning Qiu's strength in killing zombies like cutting tofu before, so he hoped that Ning Qiu could take him out of here.
"To tell you the truth, under this mining base, there is a very large underground laboratory, Boss Xiao seems to be going down to find something, we have gone down twice before, and the result is heavy casualties, those zombies are not something we can deal with at all." Lin Song wanted Ning Qiu to retreat because he didn't want to go down to that underground laboratory in his life.
"Is it an advanced zombie?" Ning Qiu asked.
"It should be said that we have never seen zombies before. When we first encountered it, we thought it was just an ordinary zombie, but in the end, we found that the zombie would spontaneously combust. β
"Spontaneous combustion?" Ning Qiu was stunned.
He still learned the subject of zombie sights and stories quite well, but he had never heard of any kind of zombie that would spontaneously combust.
"It's not just spontaneous combustion, there's also a zombie's arm that can turn into a strange vine that can directly pierce our bodies." Another awakened person, Li Su, said.
At this time, Boss Xiao and the others suddenly let out an exciting shout, seeing their formation, it seemed that they were going to the underground laboratory.
Some people have fire extinguishers in their hands, and some people hold blast shields, as if they want to fight to the death with the zombies below.
"I'm going to go down and die again." Lin Song sighed, and then said to Ning Qiu, "Do you know how many people there were when we first set off from Nandu? More than a hundred, now there are less than twenty. β
"Warriors come out of heavy money, and the price given by Boss Xiao is too tempting." Li Su said.
Afterwards, Xiao Zuan came over again and discussed with Lin Song and Li Su.
He knew in his heart that these miners were cannon fodder, and the key to whether they could get that thing or not was the Awakened.
Lin Song was already frightened the last time he went down, no matter what price Xiao Zuan offered, he would not go again, but Li Su agreed, as he said, the price given by Boss Xiao was too tempting, and it was worth the risk.
Xiao Zuan glanced at Ning Qiu on the side again, he knew that Lin Song and Li Su must have told him about the situation, so he said: "I have already seen your strength, if you are willing to protect us and let me obtain that thing, I can give you a private reward of 10 million in addition to the commission for this mission." β
10 million payout!
To tell the truth, Ning Qiu's heart was moved, how many tasks did he have to do to earn 10 million?
But this made Ning Qiu even more curious, what was there in the laboratory, Xiao Zuan actually wanted to get it at any cost.
"I can go down with you, but if there's a danger, I'll evacuate immediately." Ning Qiu thought about it and felt that he could give it a try. After all, they had gone down a few times before, and although there were heavy casualties, some people could come back alive.
He thought to himself that even these ordinary miners could escape, so the danger factor of his being an awakened person should not be great, and it was indeed worth the risk for 10 million.
In the end, Xiao Zuan also said that he moved Master Wang, who came with Ning Qiu, but Master Wang obviously didn't understand the situation, Ning Qiu felt that he was too old, so he should not take this risk.
"It's okay, I'll follow you and see, and if it's dangerous, I'll run immediately." Master Wang didn't listen to Ning Qiu's dissuasion, because Xiao Zuan said that he would give him a reward of one million.
"Then you try to stay with me as much as possible." Ning Qiu saw that Master Wang had made up his mind, so he could only say helplessly.
β¦β¦
This mining base is indeed very large and has sound facilities, but Ning Qiu guessed that its existence should be just to hide people's eyes.
No scientist would build a laboratory under a mining site, and the reason why it was built must have been deliberately done by a scientist or an organization.
"I heard that this Xiao Zuan is the largest mining boss in our southern capital, has cooperated with the military, and is worth more than 100 million, he is a great figure." Master Wang followed Ning Qiu, and they walked at the back of the line.
There were more than 20 people in the team, of which more than a dozen people walked in the front with explosion-proof shields, and the rest were holding fire extinguishers in their hands.
The basement entrance is in what looks like an office on the outside, but inside you are an underground staircase. Apparently, when the mining base was being built, someone deliberately tried to conceal the existence of an underground laboratory.
It is even conceivable that the vast majority of the staff working at the mining base did not know that there was such an underground laboratory.
The staircase passage is long and there is not a single ray of light.
The miners turned on their flashlight helmets and began to walk down in the form they had agreed upon.
Li Su walked up to Ning Qiu's side and said in a low voice, "I'm an awakened person of the earth system, what about you?" β
"Soul system."
"Soul system? What is this department? Li Su looked puzzled.
There are many people who don't know the soul system, including some awakened people, after all, the probability of awakening this ability system is less than 1 in 10,000.
Ning Qiu didn't want to explain so much, he was always vigilant, once he found danger, he would immediately drag Xiao Zuan to escape, because if this guy died, it would mean that his mission had failed.
The structure of the underground laboratory is complicated, and Xiao Zuan didn't know where to get such a map, it seems that he has made a lot of preparations for this operation.
A small red dot was marked on the map, and that was where they were going, and from the map, it was in the center of the entire lab.
"Are there any other zombies besides the two strange zombies you saw earlier?" Ning Qiu said to Li Su.
"Yes, but they are all ordinary zombies, and there are not many of them, but the most terrifying thing is the two zombies that can spontaneously combust and release strange vines." Li Su said.
"In other words, if we can deal with those two zombies, this underground laboratory will not be in any danger." Ning Qiu said.
"I guess, we don't know, because this underground lab is so big, and the place we're in is less than a tenth of what we're here."
According to Li Su, they almost reached the location marked on the map before, but it was because of the appearance of those two zombies that the team suffered heavy casualties.
Ordinary zombies are not scary, as long as they are not a large group of people rushing at the same time, even ordinary people with weapons can kill them.
Due to the light of the flashlight helmet, it attracted three zombies at once, but they were all ordinary zombies, and they could be eliminated without Li Su and Ning Qiu's action.
The farther you go to the center, the more frequent zombies appear, but they are all scattered one or two, and they don't pose any threat.
After passing through a long corridor, suddenly, a burst of fire lit up, suddenly illuminating the corridor.
"Yes...... It's the flaming zombie! Someone exclaimed.
"Run, run!"
The originally negotiated formation was completely chaotic when I encountered this zombie.
The horror of this flame zombie left a huge psychological shadow on everyone, and it was almost an irresistible existence.
"Don't panic! Use a fire extinguisher, quickly extinguish it with a fire extinguisher. Seeing that everyone was scattered and fleeing, Xiao Zuan said loudly.
"Yes, yes, with a fire extinguisher." The miners with fire extinguishers reacted.
Ning Qiu was very strange at first, what these guys were doing with fire extinguishers, it turned out to be to deal with this flame zombie.
The flame zombie looks exactly the same as a normal zombie, but for some reason, it suddenly burns with flames.
"Is it a new species of zombie?"
The fire extinguisher sprayed white mist, and the man carrying the blast shield walked in front, standing shield after shield on the ground, forming a shield wall.
"Roar!"
In the white mist, the flame zombie let out an angry roar, it hated this carbon dioxide substance, and the flames on its body were extinguished little by little.
"It works, it works!" A miner rejoiced.
"Whew!"
Everyone had just looked happy, when suddenly, a huge flame erupted.
The impact of the flames nearly broke the shield wall, but the heat of the flames immediately burned the blast shield red.
"Ahh Scalded me. One of the miners shouted, but he didn't dare to put his shield down now, because as soon as there was a vacancy in the shield wall, the flames would spew directly on them.
"And breathing fire?" Ning Qiu glanced at Li Su in surprise.
Obviously, Li Su didn't expect that this zombie still had skills, so he hurriedly used his ability at the moment, and a tall rock shield appeared, sharing a lot of pressure on those people.
Ning Qiu's Horcrux appeared in his hand, and the puppet soul power and the weapon soul power instantly combined, and the big sword immediately turned into a slender soul string sword.
"String thorn!" Taking advantage of the fact that the flame zombie was attacking Li Su's rock shield, Ning Qiu's long sword pointed, and the blade suddenly stretched out, and a flash of light shot out, piercing the head of the flame zombie.
The accuracy was well mastered, and the flame zombie then fell to the ground, and the flames on its body gradually extinguished.
"Awesome!" Li Su was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that this awakened person, who looked younger than him, actually had the strength to kill flame zombies in seconds.
Is this the Soul System?
Xiao Zuan wiped the cold sweat on his head, and couldn't help but glance at this young man named Ning Qiu, it seemed that his 10 million dollars were worth it.
"The flame zombie is dead, so only that monster vine zombie is left."
After a short break, the team moved forward again.
Because of Ning Qiu's amazing performance in killing the flame zombies in seconds, everyone was a lot more excited.
You must know that when they first encountered the flame zombies, more than thirty people died at once, and then the monster vine zombies appeared immediately, causing them to suffer heavy casualties.
"Young man, don't be a mercenary after returning to Nandu, how about being my personal bodyguard?" Xiao Zuan was in a good mood, thinking that he would definitely be able to get that thing in his hands this time.
Flame zombies are more lethal than monster vine zombies, and since flame zombies Ning Qiu can be killed in seconds, then monster vine zombies are even more useless.
As he walked, he was already approaching the location marked on the map, and Master Wang followed Ning Qiu's side, full of admiration for this young man.
Suddenly, a miner who was walking in front of him tripped over something, and at first everyone thought he had just accidentally stepped on something, but it turned out that there were many strange vines growing both under his feet and around him.
"Everyone, be careful!" Li Su snorted.
"Ahh Save me! β
Suddenly, a miner flew upside down, as if something was wrapped around his waist, and he was dragged out.
"Don't panic, stand in formation." Xiao Zuan knew that they had come to the territory of the strange vine zombies, and immediately spoke.
At this time, everyone immediately gathered around, and the man carrying the blast shield erected the shield in the shape of a ring.
The miner dragged out by the strange vine let out a heart-rending scream, and the sound of being eaten by zombies could be faintly heard.
It didn't take long for the screams to cease abruptly.
Everyone shuddered, and many people were so frightened that their legs went limp.
I don't know if the zombie finished eating the food or didn't eat it, the surroundings immediately became silent and terrifying, only the heavy breathing of everyone.
"Whew!"
A fire lit up and illuminated the surroundings.
A flaming zombie appeared not far away and rushed towards everyone.
"Why is there another one?"
Ning Qiu's heart was cold, didn't he say that there was only one flame zombie and one strange vine zombie? Why is there another one now?
